It has been the third day of hunting. These princes, warriors and young men are still in high spirits, and the women are not willing to sit in the tent alone and wait for the men to return with full load. Instead, they spontaneously pick up bows and arrows and prepare to shoot them to experience the men's pride and joy. The little house has never liked crowded places, so she never joined in the fun. Fortunately, Cheng Meng is cheerful and always takes her to stroll elsewhere. Sometimes they go fishing in the river that has not yet dried up, sometimes they go to pick up chestnuts under the trees, and sometimes they lie on the grass covered with golden leaves when they are tired, holding a dog-tail grass that is not yet withered in their mouths, holding their heads with their hands, staring blankly at the sky, thinking about nothing, and doing nothing.

Xiaolou lamented that there are so many people in the world that you hate, and there will be so many people that you will be happy. Cheng Meng is the latter. She is a weird little girl who can always be very open-minded. No matter how serious she is, nothing is bad. Xiaolou admires such a person, and she will never be able to do so inclusively. Cheng Meng gives people a kind of comfort, and it seems that no one can choose to continue to ignore it indifferently under her carefree smile. The sky gradually darkened, and the two of them ate, played, and the weather became colder, so they chose to go back in time.

But on the journey back, Xiaolou suddenly noticed a trace of undetectable strangeness. She alertly stopped Cheng Meng from continuing to move forward. Cheng Meng did not find anything unique around her, but when Xiaolou looked different from normal, she stopped sensitively and asked in a low voice what was wrong. Xiaolou's eyes quickly glanced at the week, but put down his vigilance just now: "Go, it turns out to be such a beast, a lynx."

A huge lynx in front of her was staring at them with scarlet eyes. The lynx is a wild animal living alone and active in the vast woods. It is a night hunter with no fixed nests. It has appeared before dark at this time, and it is probably very hungry, so it is so. The small building is not unfamiliar with it. During the day, it can lie on the rocks to bask in the sun, or hide quietly under the big trees to shelter from the wind and rain. It can live alone in several hectares of area without moving, or it can run for more than ten thousand meters in a row without stopping.

It is good at climbing and swimming, and has strong hunger resistance. It can lie in a place for several days, not afraid of the cold, and likes to hunt medium and large animals such as roe deer, including humans. A few years ago, there were endless incidents of human hunting, so although it is small and similar to wolves, it has extremely strong lethality. It is active frequently at night and night, and its range depends on the richness of food, with a zone-occupying behavior and a fixed excretion site. It seems that it and Cheng Meng are not interested in finding their hearts to come to the area where it lives. The lynx is cunning and cautious and cruel. When encountering danger, it will quickly escape to the trees and hide, and sometimes it will lie down on the ground and pretend to die, thereby avoiding the attacks and injuries of the enemy. Because it likes to be invisible, listen, have a developed vision, and can also swim.

It was not very good to meet a hungry lynx, especially the one in front of her seemed to be bigger than the usual lynx. Under the shadow of a mottled tree, the lynx showed its sharp teeth, made a threatening sound, and repeatedly attacked them with fierce eyes. Xiaolou took Cheng Meng to dodge because Cheng Meng did not know martial arts, Xiaolou could only protect her. After a few rounds, bleeding gradually oozed out from her arms, all of which were scratched by the lynx's claws. Xiaolou still remained calm. Although such beasts had killed people, it was really not worth mentioning in front of Xiaolou. Taking advantage of the lynx's turn, he quickly held a simple spear like a branch with a tree branch and took action quickly. He said that at that time, he nailed the lynx to death in the mud covered with fallen leaves.

The black and yellow lynx, who was locked on the ground by a sharp spearhead, struggled hard, and spitting blood on the corners of his lips and shouting at the woman shrillly, but after struggling for a few times, he fell to the ground and died. Xiaolou narrowed his eyes and saw that the ferocious big cat was still staring at him stubbornly, and blood was flowing all over the ground. He still refused to close his eyes and kicked his legs. He then took out a cold dagger from his waist: "You beast, don't say I'm cruel, big cat, if you hadn't attacked me, how could I kill you all?" She curled her lips, smiled coldly, and her beautiful and charming pair of peach blossom eyes were instantly bent into a slender crescent bud: "You want to eat me, I want to survive, but I won after all. I wish you a good birth in the next life!

Xiaolou stepped forward, raised his sword and cut off the neck and carotid artery of the struggling lynx with a thunderous momentum. The fierce big cat didn't even have time to scream, so he stared at his glazed eyes and spit out his long bloody tongue. Finally, he tilted his head unwillingly to die. Xiaolou breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed the dagger without a trace of blood on his body, and quickly said to Cheng Meng. The sound was like a clear spring in the mountains, clear and moving, sensual, and with an indescribable solemn and cold feeling, a calm and calm feeling that seemed to be the same as the immortal banished, saying: "The tired bird will not return, the lynx will appear, the forest is very fierce, Cheng Meng, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go..."

Cheng Meng seemed to be frightened by the scene just now. Xiaolou pulled his arm forward along the way. She kept staring at the bloodshot that gradually oozed out of Xiaolou's arm. After realizing it, she asked her if there was anything wrong. Xiaolou shook his head. It was not important to clean the wound with clean water and bandage it. Of course, she also turned around and warned Cheng Meng not to tell Shen Zhilin. She felt more and more that Shen Zhilin completely regarded himself as his sister. He would basically ask about some things in detail before he could feel at ease. If he learned about his injury, he might chatter around him.

She was not tired of his concern, she just didn't know how to accept it. Maybe she was a cold person. A little bit of concern was not enough to melt her cold heart. Unfortunately, Cheng Meng didn't take her words to heart. When Xiaolou returned to the tent and bandaged the wound, Cheng Meng brought Shen Zhilin to greet her. Cheng Meng couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she saw Xiaolou's dark eyes: "Second sister, don't be angry. It's the eldest brother who insisted on asking me where I went today and who I was with. I accidentally told you about your injury. Oh, it's okay, second sister, it's okay. Anyway, you saved my life, I should come and see you!"

Xiaolou didn't want to say anything else. After all, they were all kind-hearted. If they didn't accept it, then they would become someone, so they generously took the ointment that Shen Zhilin brought to him. Shen Fengsheng, who was begging the elder brother, instantly stood up next to the fire, looking very happy. However, seeing that the elder brother's all caring eyes were betting on Xiaolou, but he didn't pay attention to him at all, she immediately felt a hint of sadness in her heart, but she hid it very well and never discovered: "Second sister, I haven't gone out for a day today. What happened? Why are you injured?" However, Shen Fengsheng asked with concern.

Before Xiaolou could speak, Cheng Meng pulled her over and began to talk endlessly, telling the little girl all the way through what happened. Xiaolou was not afraid of the beast in the face of danger. He attacked the beast again and again, and then he was quick to cut a dead leaf, turned into a sharp sword, and stabbed towards the beast. Seeing that the beast struggled hard and was not dead, he decisively took out a dagger and killed the beast with one knife, so they could leave the forest safely. Cheng Meng finished talking about it, but Xiaolou couldn't help but interrupt her. There was no beast, but a lynx as big as a wolf, not a tiger or a snow leopard, not very brave.

"Second sister, you don't have to be humble. Every girl in every family doesn't know how cunning the lynx is. But I do know that this beast is not only cunning, but also very agile. It is possible to pounce on you in the blink of an eye, but you can stab the ten dead branches in the direction of it accurately in the middle of its attack, and can stab it. You must know that with such accuracy, I'm afraid that people who practice martial arts all year round may not necessarily have it." Chen Zhilin made an objective evaluation, which was his heartfelt words. Xiaolou was a little ashamed, and her injury attracted many people's endless praise.

It’s a pity that what does it count as having such skills? The training in Youming is really like day and night. She has been accustomed to it, and when she meets it again, she can face it calmly without any hesitation. Cheng Meng also took out two bags of bags from her waist. When she opened it, the fragrance from inside filled the entire tent. When she looked closely, it turned out that it was roasted crocodile legs that were burnt on the outside and tender inside: "Second sister, little sister, my brother caught pheasant today. There were only two legs on a chicken. I brought them all for you. You can eat it while it’s hot, it won’t be delicious when it’s cold. Brother, Xiaolou is injured and needs to rest. Let’s go quickly."

Before Chen Zhilin could ask about Xiaolou's injury, he was pulled away by Cheng Meng. After all, she had promised Xiaolou that he would not tell his elder brother about this, but she could not resist Xiaolou's persistence, so she could only violate Xiaolou's promise and brought him with him. Now she has said what she should say, and has read what she should read, and should go home. She is afraid that her second sister will be guilty of her heart's master afterwards, and that will not be good, and she still owe her life.

Xiaolou handed the chicken legs to Chen Quansheng, but thought to himself that Cheng Meng was still a little jealous, and he was really tired. The main reason was that he was facing the elder brother's earnest concern, and he really didn't know how to deal with it. It seemed that Chen Zhilin's concern for him seemed to be a bit too much. They were just a cooperative alliance, so there was no need to give too much emotion and add to his troubles. Xiaolou and his fifth sister sat down by the fire together, eating the delicious roasted chicken legs in his mouth. With just one bite, Xiaolou sighed that this roasting method was indeed very essence. It was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant but not greasy. The salt sprinkled was just right, which was just as good as his own technique.

At this time, Chen Fengsheng did not taste the deliciousness of the chicken legs. Because she was thinking, she basically had the same taste as chewing wax. She glanced at her second sister faintly and spoke for a long time: "Second sister, sometimes I really envy you! It seems that everyone likes to be friends with you. They can see your strengths and praise you. How did you do it? For so many years, no one seems to be willing to be with me. I also want to learn from you and make so many good friends..." Chen Fengsheng asked sincerely, and the sparks next to the fire were flashing in her clear pupils. Xiaolou looked at her eyes and didn't know how to answer.

Friends are friends and soulmates, this thing is really dispensable. If you meet a fellow Taoist, you won’t know why you will be together involuntarily. When you meet someone who is different and does not plan to work with each other, you will automatically become enemies. This thing cannot be forced. Perhaps it is because Chen Rusheng’s personality is a bit introverted and does not like to socialize, so that he can reach this point. If she goes out for more walks, she may be able to change the status quo. Xiaolou thought so in his heart and said the same thing. There is a saying that sometimes you must have in his destiny. Don’t force it in his destiny. Everything is with the flow, not demanding or stubbornness, and maybe it will make you live a good and easy life.

Chen Fengsheng nodded clearly, but actually disagreed. But Xiaolou Wuxin's words made a little turbulent in her heart. What does it mean to not force her fate forever? Could it be that she lost her mother, fatherly love, and the honor and love that the fifth lady should have received were arranged by God? They were all written in the life book, and were they all supposed to bear? How could it be? There were too many resentments for the unfairness of this world in her eyes. This resentment accumulates more and more, and even she herself doesn't know when it will burst out. However, at this moment, her resentment was still swallowed back into her stomach and could never be released...

The fourth day of hunting.

The men still went out to hunt early. After all, it was the second-last day of this hunt. If there was no harvest, then there would be no glory on their faces. Xiaolou and Shen Fengsheng sat outside the tent, looking down at the little rabbit in their cage. Xiaolou was just a little strange. Cheng Meng should have come to find him at this time on weekdays, but it was almost noon today, and she didn't see her jumping around. What's going on? Could it be that the sudden appearance of lynx yesterday scared her, but she was not even afraid of the body. How could she be afraid of such a small beast?

On weekdays, she chirped like a lark and kept talking around her. Now that she suddenly lost this nice sound, Xiaolou was really not used to it.
