Chapter 252: Hunting Pheasants
Chapter 252: Hunting Pheasants
When they reached the top of the mountain, they stopped panting and took a short rest. At this time, Zhang Quan had time to carefully observe the surrounding environment and found that they were standing in a relatively flat area.
Zhang Quan and Yuan Sheng looked around curiously. After a while, Zhang Quan frowned and said, "We are here to hunt, but in my opinion, this place doesn't look like a place where prey will appear." It must be admitted that Zhang Quan's reaction speed was indeed very fast. He realized the problem in just a moment.
Hearing this, Ermao quickly waved his hands and responded, "Alright, alright, don't worry, we'll discuss this later. Since I brought you along, it means I treat you as my own family. It won't be too late to talk about it after everyone is here. Now you two should look around to see if you can catch a pheasant or two so that you can have something to report to."
Yuan Sheng looked puzzled and asked, "What is the mission?"
Ermao rolled his eyes at him and explained unhappily, "Why ask? Of course we have to go home to report back! Otherwise, if we go up the mountain in a big group saying we are here to hunt, but end up not catching a single feather, how embarrassing that would be!"
After listening to this, Yuan Sheng felt that there was some truth in it. He nodded and said, "Okay, then let's look around here carefully." As soon as he finished speaking, he and Zhang Quan turned around and left the place, and began to search carefully around.
Xiaocaoer and Ermao squatted down beside the potato field and took out a small hoe from the backpack. This small hoe was bought from the mall and was specially used for planting flowers and grass. It could be put in the backpack when going up the mountain.
Just as they were about to start digging, they heard a slight noise not far away. The two of them instantly became alert, looked around quickly, and then found a hidden place to hide in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, I saw a group of people rushing towards this side like a gust of wind. A closer look revealed that they were a group of masters who were as light as a swallow and used superb Qinggong skills! The speed of these people was so fast that it was astonishing, as if they were flying in the air.
The leader was Qi Xingyun, whom Xiao Cao hadn't seen for a long time! When Xiao Cao saw him, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Time flies, and now Qi Xingyun is more charming than before. He has an upright posture and a majestic demeanor. Every move he makes exudes an extraordinary temperament.
At this time, Ermao also saw clearly that the person coming was Qi Xingyun, so he came out from his hiding place without hesitation and shouted loudly: "Brother Xingyun, you came really quickly! Were you in this county town yesterday?"
Qi Xingyun looked over when he heard the voice. His eyes first fell on Ermao, and then he inadvertently glanced at Xiaocaoer who was following behind him. He smiled and replied, "Yes, I just arrived here yesterday. As soon as I received the news, I hurried here this morning. But you, why did you come back suddenly? When did you arrive?"
Ermao scratched his head and replied with a smile, "Haha, I just got here yesterday too. It's been a long time since I've been back to my hometown, so I asked the general for a few days off and came back to visit."
At this time, Zhang Quan and Yuan Sheng, who were hunting pheasants, suddenly heard voices coming from this side. They were startled, worried that something had happened, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of the sound.
When they arrived breathlessly, they saw Qi Xingyun and others standing there. Without any hesitation, they stepped forward and protected Ermao and Xiaocaoer behind them. Then, Zhang Quan turned his head and asked Ermao and Xiaocaoer in a low voice: "Are you two okay? Are you injured?"
Ermao shook his head gently, a smile on his face, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, we are fine, nothing happened, don't be so nervous." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Quan and Yuan Sheng aside, then turned to the crowd and introduced: "This is Brother Xingyun."
When Zhang Quan and Yuan Sheng heard that Qi Xingyun had arrived, their faces instantly turned extremely respectful. They both knelt on both knees without hesitation, performed a great salute, and said in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Qi Xingyun nodded slightly, indicating that he was very satisfied with their actions to protect Ermao and Xiaocaoer. He said calmly, "No need to be so polite, get up quickly."
Zhang Quan and Yuan Sheng heard this and hurriedly bowed and thanked him again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Qi Xingyun's eyes fell on the ground not far away, and he saw two pheasants lying there, which were obviously the prey just captured by Zhang Quan and Yuan Sheng. He pointed at the pheasants and asked with interest: "It seems that you two are going to hunt here? How did you get?"
"Your Highness, there is no other prey nearby, so we can only hunt pheasants." Zhang Quan and the other man said truthfully.
"It's also nice to have pheasants, as they can add to the dish." Qi Xingyun also knew that there were no large prey in the surrounding environment.
