Chapter 148: The hills and depressions meet again

The Xu family's guards were surprised when they heard this, but Wang Yong and Qian Feng had such expressions. Qian Feng even reached out to take out two big bags from behind.

"Miss, you don't need to give me instructions. We brothers are ready!"

After a long time, they followed the eldest lady and knew that this person would not be the one who follows the rules, how could they not be prepared at all?

Wu Xinan was greatly satisfied with the performance of the two, but the third lady of the Xu family lost face and was very dissatisfied with her own guards.

"Look at others, look at yourself. When you go out in the future, let alone the Duke of Wei's Mansion, I'm afraid you will lose the face of my Duke of Wei's Mansion!"

The two guards of the Xu family were in distress and couldn't speak. They felt aggrieved and said in their hearts,

"Miss 3, you are everyone's lady, and you don't have the ability of the lady of the Wu family. Who would have expected that you would have the courage to drill into the mountains!"

So Wu Xinan and Xu San took advantage of the dawn to lead four guards to leave the camp quietly. When Liu Mingyue got up and wanted to find her new fifth sister-in-law, they realized that the tent had already been empty and wanted to send someone to report the news in the mountains, but they didn't know where Shen Liu and the others were, so anxious that they were wandering around here.

Not to mention Liu Mingyue, just saying that Wu Xinan and Xu San came out and went straight to the top of the mountain.

"Senior sister, what are we going to the top of the mountain to do? Could it be that the tiger is on the top of the mountain?"

Wu Xinan said with a smile,

"We said we wanted to hunt tigers but we had a temporary intention. We didn't know the terrain nearby. We should also look at the hills everywhere and make a judgment!"

What she said was very clear, and Xu San naturally agreed. The group went up the mountain and looked around on the top of the mountain. This Tiger Hill was actually just one of a large mountain range, and it was not the highest one. It was just because of the dense vegetation here and there was a depression halfway up the mountain. Many beasts in the mountain would come here to drink water, which attracted the hunting tiger to stay here and was seen by the mountain people several times, so it was named.

Wu Xinan saw the mountain from a distance and pointed to a depression in the mountain.

"Let's go there and have a look..."

The traces of the tiger will definitely be found in the depression.

Wu Xin'an led everyone down to the mountain valley. As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running to death, it seems that it is only a few miles from the top of the mountain. This trip happened from morning to noon. The group arrived at the depression and saw a low-ground pool of about ten feet in a radius. A line of mountain stream flowed down from the cracks of the rocks, pouring a steady stream of fresh water into it. The pool was wet on all sides, and there were countless messy footprints on the yellow mud floor, including the small one that looked like plum blossoms, the two petals, the one that looked like a human hand but was half smaller, and the one that was three-pointed, overlapping and messy.

Everyone searched around the pool and found several large plum blossom claw marks. The claw marks that looked like cats and were several times larger than cats were naturally the "big cat"!

Xu Sanxi said,

"There are indeed tigers here!"

Wu Xinan nodded, looked at the fresh claw prints, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.

"It's afraid it won't come here in the past few days!"

"What's wrong?"

Wu Xinan pointed at the claw print and said,

"This footprint is so fresh. I think the time I stayed will not exceed last night. A tiger's territory is extremely vast. It will keep walking around every day and patrolling its territory. It has come last night and will not come again!"

Xu San said disappointed when he heard this,

"Then...we can't find it?"

Wu Xinan thought about it and responded,

"It may not be necessary. First, it depends on how big its territory is. It will take several days to patrol it. As long as you wait patiently, you will definitely come... But... If there are so many preys in this place, it may not stay for two more days before going to the next place..."

Wu Xinan looked up and looked around the terrain.

"We have only luck now!"

Xu San asked curiously,

"Senior sister, what are you looking at?"

Wu Xinan responded,

"I'm looking for a hiding place. We'll sleep here tonight to see if we can keep the tiger until it appears..."

After everyone looked at it, they finally chose to build a simple shack on the tree, which could avoid animals and observe the movements on all sides of the pool at any time.

They had four good-looking guards, and it was very easy to make a few shacks. However, in order not to attract the suspicion of the beasts who came to drink, the few chose two miles away from the depression, cut off the thick branches, and dragged them back here, and chose a few nearby tall trees to lay them on them.

After being so busy, it was not until dusk that everyone stopped cooking. They just ate the dry food they carried with them with water, and then they were considered to be cooking dinner.

Wu Xinan smiled at Xu Sandao,

"You are spoiled at home, and you are afraid you will suffer these days!"

Xu San felt very novel and responded with a smile.

"There are too many good days, and it's very fun to be there once!"

After dinner, the six people were divided into three places. These three shacks were built among the thick leaves. From the bottom of the tree, there was no way to see how many people were hidden above them. They were also on high places with a mountain wind taking away the breath. Even wild beasts could not easily find the traces of the six people. If they were willing, staying for ten days and half a month would be easy.

The six people hid in the shed like this, waiting quietly for the night to come. In such a season, they sat on high branches and watched the sunset slowly fall from the mountains. The setting sun was like blood, and the mountains were quiet. When the mountain wind blew, the people on the trees swayed left and right with the branches.

Xu San and Wu Xin'an were close together, knowing that Wu Xin'an's skills would not let him fall down, but they were appreciating the scenery with confidence and boldness, and then smiled at Wu Xin'an.

"Do we look like a pair of contrast-winged birds that build nests on the tree?"

Wu Xinan replied with a smile,

"It's like it, but if I'm a pair of birds with you, what will Master Chen do? Wouldn't he cry to death?"

Xu San replied with a smile,

"I don't know if Chen Wu cries to death, but... the young master of the Pei family is afraid that he will hate me to death!"

The two of them joked with each other like this. Wu Xin'an was about to speak, and suddenly a group of returning birds flew around in the forest not far away. The two hurriedly stopped and looked in the direction where the birds were startled. Wu Xin'an had good eyesight and saw that there seemed to be someone shaking in the forest in the distance. She quickly stood up and looked carefully again, and turned around and smiled at Xu San.

"If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Your real winged bird is here!"

Xu San also stuck his head out and looked carefully. Sure enough, he saw a figure swaying not far away, and it seemed that he was familiar with him inside.

"It's really my brother and the others!"

Wu Xinan frowned,

"It's dark now. If they set up camp here, the beasts would probably be shocked by the fire tonight and dare not come!"

Xu San was also a little anxious when he heard this.

"What should I do...why send someone to stop them?"

Wu Xinan shook her head,

"Do you want to send it back to them now?"

Xu San shook his head repeatedly,

"I don't want it!"

Wu Xinan thought about it and made a gesture to the people from the other two places. Everyone retreated back into the shack and quietly waited for the arrival of those people.

Wu Xinan whispered to Xu San,

"I guess they probably couldn't find tigers elsewhere, and they also thought of trying their luck in this drinking depression. However, most of them could only stay overnight. We slept here for one night and wait until tomorrow they left, so we went down!"

"But...what if the tiger will come tonight?"

Wu Xinan smiled slightly and said,

"Then... it depends on everyone's ability!"

At that time, she hid in the tree and seized the opportunity to catch them off guard. It is unknown who will kill this tiger!

They were hiding in the trees, waiting for everyone to come. Some of them knew some hunting methods and knew that they could not rush to the pool with such a big fanfare. If there was such a fuss, even a pheasant would not come.

So the group of people were lightly furnished and touched the pool with their hands and feet. After looking at the terrain, it was almost dark. I wanted to cut branches and build huts like Wu Xin'an and others, so I could only lurk in the grass under the trees. It was a coincidence that everyone was scattered in the grass. Shen Wu, Xu Er and Pei He were not far from them. The two of them could see them just by bowing their heads.

"whee……"

Xu San covered his mouth and chuckled, but suddenly he became stubborn. He reached out and picked a fruit from the tree and threw it at Shen Wu's head. The fruit fell straight on Shen Wu's head, causing Shen Wu to shrink his head.

"Huh!"

Shen Wu touched the bag on his head and looked up. It was just like this sky and was covered by leaves. He could not see anyone no matter what!

"whee……"

Xu San smiled and retracted his head and said to Wu Xin'an.

"Shen Wu is so stupid!"

Wu Xinan rolled his eyes to the sky,

"Be careful. If you startle someone, I will be insignificant in hunting tigers. If they find it, they will be embarrassed to catch them!"

Xu San smiled and stretched out a finger and said,

"I just threw it away once, he couldn't find it!"

The people below could not find it. It was dark. At night in the deep mountains, everything in the grass was like being splashed by ink, and it was black. Fortunately, the moon rose to the top of the mountain, and the silver-white moonlight splashed into the forest. Wu Xin'an and others took advantage of the geographical advantage to watch from a high place, and with their familiarity with their family members in the past, they could also look at the people below hiding in the grass.

Xu San stared at Xu Er and Shen Wu, but Wu Xinan looked at Pei He who was sitting cross-legged in the grass, and said in his heart,

"The old eunuch is very old and is obviously someone who has to bury his eyebrows in the soil. It doesn't seem very powerful, but the mental method he taught Pei He is extremely powerful. In this case, he can still be calm and integrate his breathing with the surrounding mountains and forests, which is beyond my reach!"
