Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run
Chapter 53 Chasing the White Tiger
Xia Liang looked at the rain outside the cave, which had been falling since last night and continued until the next day.
It started as a downpour and then turned into a curtain of broken beads, and finally it became like a child peeing, with a burst of violent flow, then suddenly stopped, and then it was like a fountain, forming a rhythm.
The lackey leaned against her tightly. It was already the beginning of summer in early May. According to the ancients, people calculated the months according to the lunar calendar. It was a hot summer now, but the lackey did not feel hot.
After the rain stopped completely, Xia Liang decided to take her lackey to Tianbao County. She believed that Brother Bingrui and Sister Luo Hong would be waiting for her somewhere.
Yes, they were drinking herbal tea and eating delicious food in the most luxurious restaurant in the city, waiting for the summer to cool down.
Xia Liang didn't expect that Yan Xuan was so difficult to deal with. He had to hide for two hours last night before he finally got rid of them.
It will rain overnight, and I guess they will all go somewhere to hide and rest. We must take the opportunity to evacuate quickly.
The lackey jumped around happily, and was with Lord White Tiger. Even if he was hungry, it would offer his legs, body, and head as long as Lord White Tiger was willing to enjoy them.
A lackey can sacrifice his life.
Xia Liang didn't know what the lackey was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely burst into tears.
I didn’t expect that after the rain, the mushrooms popped out again. Xia Liang loves to eat all kinds of wild mushrooms, but there is no one to help cook them. Will I be poisoned if I eat them raw?
She stared at the mushrooms in a daze, and Dog Legs thought she wanted to eat them, so he immediately dug them out with his claws and told her that they were chicken mushrooms and would not cause poisoning.
Xia Liang was surprised. How could this lackey know whether a plant was poisonous or not? That was really amazing!
No matter how hungry you are, you can still endure it.
But what they could not have imagined was that Yan Xuan was lying in ambush in the depths of the forest with a group of guards. When they rode horses, they would always be disturbed by the white tiger. It was not known whether the horses were afraid of the white tiger or afraid that something would happen to their owners. Whenever they encountered a white tiger, they would become confused and sometimes even flee in the opposite direction.
Yan Xuan simply made up his mind and tied all the horses outside the forest, ordering everyone to chase on foot.
Although it was difficult, at least they observed where the white tiger was going. In order to prevent alerting the enemy, they guarded the path that the white tiger must take.
Unexpectedly, I got what I wanted.
Yan Xuan stared at the white tiger's figure closely. Wow, how come the white tiger has grown bigger after not seeing it for a while?
The little friend beside her never left her side. In fact, the dog's body was considered very large among the local dogs, but in front of the white tiger, it looked petite and lovely.
The white tiger stared at the mushrooms breaking through the soil for a long time, as if it was greedy?
Yan Xuan felt that this look was very similar to the delicious food he stared at when he was extremely hungry. The lackey actually picked out some mushrooms for Baihu to taste. If Yan Xuan had not seen this scene with his own eyes, he would have thought it was a fairy tale.
This tiger and this dog, have they become spirits?
It seems that the rumors I heard along the way were true. The White Tiger is indeed very intelligent, and even its lackeys are willing to submit to it.
The two beasts swallowed the chicken mushrooms they had dug out. They seemed to taste good, so they continued eating.
After eating a few large flowers, Xia Liang suddenly raised his head and asked Gouzi: "Do you smell anything? Human smell."
The masculine smell is particularly unpleasant, not as good as the smell of Luo Yu's sister and Qin Bingrui's female body.
The dog sniffed carefully with his nose raised. Oh no, it was careless because the air was fresh after the rain. It was the smell of those stinky men.
"White Tiger, sir, run away!"
Yan Xuan also realized something was wrong and raised his hand. This time they didn't care whether they could protect a complete tiger skin or not. The emperor was furious a while ago. It didn't matter whether the tiger was white or red, as long as it was a tiger from a foreign country, it would be brought back.
The people in front raised their bows and arrows and shot in the direction where the white tiger was fleeing.
Xia Liang is very experienced and runs in an S-shaped route, so at least the probability of hitting the target is not that high.
The lackey ran behind her, closely protecting Lord White Tiger.
Who would have thought that although Yan Xuan looked young, his jungle experience was quickly increased by Baihu.
He was running while shooting arrows at the White Tiger's butt. The lackey turned around and saw the arrow flying towards the White Tiger's butt, so he jumped up with his body, trying to knock the arrow away. As a result, the arrow stuck to the dog's body and pierced the most beautiful piece of its dog skin.
The dog fell to the ground and staggered, almost losing his balance.
When the white tiger heard the sound, it found that the upper side of the dog's right leg was broken and bleeding. It suddenly turned around and roared towards Yan Xuan who was running towards it. The whole tiger stood up like a human, and was 10.5 feet (3.5 meters) tall.
Not to mention a slap with one claw, even if the whole body pressed down on him, Yan Xuan would not be able to react for a while.
He was stunned. He didn't expect the white tiger to turn around for a dog. Before he raised the arrow in his hand, he saw the white tiger paw towards him.
But when he was still one foot away from him, he suddenly stopped.
The white tiger slowly put down its claws and sighed. Yan Xuan gave three gold leaves to Sister Luo Yu at that time. He was not a bad person.
He was just doing his job, it's not his fault.
So he immediately turned around, put the lackey on his back, and fled at the speed of wind.
When the guards behind caught up and prepared to shoot arrows, Yan Xuan stopped them.
A guard asked, "Commander Yan, what happened just now? Did Baihu let you go?"
Yan Xuan was not afraid. He knew that if that claw came down, even if he didn't die, he would at least lose half his life. This white tiger was much bigger than an ordinary tiger, and that slap would definitely destroy his entire face.
Thinking of the gangster on the path outside whose nose and mouth were crooked by the white tiger, Yan Xuan couldn't help but shudder.
But Baihu actually let him go? Why?
Is it really a sentient beast? Is that why it came forward to save the three of them when Miss Bai and her companions encountered bandits?
So, Baihu let him go just now, even though the lackey was hit by an arrow and scratched?
By the way, it actually ran away with its lackey on its back. How could a normal person understand that?
Yan Xuan looked at the expressions of the other dozen or so guards. They were all in the same daze as him and had not recovered from their shock.
There was a young man who was still staring at the direction where the white tiger was running with his mouth wide open.
Seeing Yan Xuan looking at him, he stammered, "Bai, Baihu actually ran away with the dog on his back."
"Hey, what on earth is going on?" An older guard was knowledgeable and had never seen such a thing.
"Command Yan, are you still going to chase them?"
"Chase!"
Yan Xuan knew that if he continued to chase, Baihu would definitely not let him go if he encountered trouble next time, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey. If he failed to complete the task this time, the emperor would definitely not let him lead troops to the battlefield.
Go ahead, go ahead. You can't even catch a white tiger, and you still want to go to the border to fight those Liao, Jin and Mongolian barbarians?
If Xia Liang knew that this boy compared her with the Hu people, she would be so angry that she would regret not slapping him.
After a while, Xia Liang finally ran out of the forest with the dog on her back and reached the edge of a cliff. She ran along the cliff, thinking that if she ran south she would reach Tianbao County.
