NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29 Hunting
After Boss Sun took the body out, Lan Yanhang walked out. When he saw Ling Xiaoxiao standing in the courtyard, he hurriedly saluted.
"Miss Ling is really amazing. She saved our family's lives again today. I'm very grateful to Lan. If Miss Ling has anything to do in the future, just leave it to Lan's servants."
Ling Xiaoxiao waved her hands and said.
"Master Lan, there is no need to be polite. It's just a matter of loyalty and trust. Since we are going to Yongzhou Mansion together, we will naturally work together."
After a few polite words with Lan Yanhang, Ling Xiaoxiao also returned to the room. Zhou Yunniang and Ling Wuya were sitting on the bed waiting for Ling Xiaoxiao. She was relieved when she saw Ling Xiaoxiao come in intact.
"Hey, go to bed quickly! It's been a toss-up all night. Why do you think Mr. Lan's brother is so cruel! Plus tonight, this is the second wave of pursuit."
Ling Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Mom, this is what happens to those wealthy families. For the sake of wealth and family property, there are a lot of things that brothers fight against each other, not to mention the distinction between direct descendants and common descendants. It's really too complicated. It's still us. Ordinary people live comfortably."
At dawn the next day, that family came back. After seeing the blood stains on the ground in the courtyard, they ran out in fright and disappeared in the blink of an eye. This made Ling Erzhuang and Sun Boss, who had just gotten up, They looked at each other and then remembered that they had only cleaned up the body last night, but they had forgotten to cover up the blood stains on the ground.
After Lan Yanhang left the room and found out the whole story, he went back to the house and took a post and handed it to the steward.
"The master just came back and saw the bloodstains all over the yard. Based on my thoughts on the villagers, they are probably going to report it to the government. You can take the post to the local county government and handle the matter. It seems that we are going to report it today. We can’t leave immediately to avoid misunderstanding.”
Seeing the steward taking the post and leading Boss Sun and others out of the door, Lan Yanhang spoke to Ling Erzhuang.
"Brother Ling, I'm afraid we will be delayed for another day today."
Ling Erzhuang was in front of him just now. He naturally knew that Lan Yanhang was looking for someone to go to the county government to clear up the matter last night. However, the Ling family really didn't care about the delay of a day and a half. The Lan family would take care of food and drink. There is no need to spend money, and the Ling family is not short of money now, so they didn't say anything about staying one more day!
After Ling Xiaoxiao got up, she heard that she would stay here for one more day, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, it was early spring, so she just walked slowly. Her family members were not in a hurry and got up leisurely. As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw the same family from yesterday walking in with an old man in his fifties.
Ling Xiaoxiao watched Lan Yanhang invite the old man into the house and didn't know what he said. A quarter of an hour later, the old man left with the family with a smile.
Not long after breakfast, the steward of the Lan family came back and said that he had already made an agreement with the county government. Besides, his father was the brother-in-law of the Tong magistrate of Yongzhou Prefecture. Naturally, the county magistrate here did not dare to offend him, but directly Pressed this matter down.
Since he had to delay for a day before setting out on the road, Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the mountains not far away and decided to go up the mountain and called Ling Sanlang.
"Sanlang, you and dad will protect the Lan family at home. Sister, go to the mountains to see if there are any prey. If there are any, we can still eat game."
When he heard that his sister was going hunting in the mountains, Ling Sanlang also wanted to go, but was rejected by Ling Xiaoxiao.
"Sanlang, it's not that I don't want to take you there. Our most important task now is to protect the Lan family. If you go to the mountain with me, what if the killer comes again and Dad and Boss Sun can't resist it? I promise you, If we go hunting in the mountains when we get to Yongzhou Prefecture, I will definitely take you there, I want to teach you how to hunt, and I will hunt game for you when the time comes!"
Ling Xiaoxiao's words made Ling Sanlang embarrassed to insist on following him to the mountain anymore, so he agreed to stay here to protect the Lan family.
Because this small village is more than ten miles away from the mountain, Ling Xiaoxiao rode Mo Ying to the foot of the mountain. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, he took a look, left Mo Ying in a small forest, and patted his big head.
"Mo Ying, just hang around here. When the time comes, I will go down the mountain and send you a message."
Mo Ying glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao, snorted, swung his tail and walked slowly into the woods. Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, then looked at the mountain, and followed the path taken by the nearby villagers towards the mountain. Go.
Because this place is located near Ganzhou Prefecture, although the vegetation on the mountains is much better than that of Lianzhou Prefecture, it is still not as good as in the south. Therefore, there are not many vegetations in the mountains. In such mountains, it is relatively difficult to find large beasts. difficult.
So one morning, Ling Xiaoxiao only caught a few hares and pheasants, but none of the other larger beasts were seen. After looking at it, the sun was already high in the sky, and it was already noon. Ling Xiaoxiao also Not planning to stay any longer, he was about to carry the prey down the mountain when he heard a humming sound not far away.
"Well, are there still wild boars here?" Although Ling Xiaoxiao was not sure yet, she still hoped that it was a wild boar. No matter how you put it, it was meat, right? Following the sound, I walked toward where it came from. Not long after, I saw a big wild boar with its head lowered and its long snout swaying on the ground, followed by three small wild boars.
Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the big wild boar. It weighed at least four hundred kilograms. Even the three small wild boars together could probably weigh a hundred kilograms of meat. Although there was no shortage of meat at home now, this meat was not enough. Even in front of me, I have to accept it!
Ling Xiaoxiao thought of this and ducked in front of the wild boar. A big knife appeared in his hand out of thin air. Ling Xiaoxiao used the strength power to chop off the head of the big wild boar, followed immediately by three small wild boars. However, Within a few breaths, four wild boars, one large, three small and four small, died in front of them.
Ling Xiaoxiao directly took the four wild boars into the space. Anyway, they would not go bad if left there. It would be good to eat them again in Yongzhou Mansion in the future.
After cleaning up, Ling Xiaoxiao went down the mountain this time and whistled in the woods. Within a quarter of an hour, he heard the sound of kicking and tapping. He followed the sound and saw Mo Ying slowly walking over.
Ling Xiaoxiao first brought a basin of spiritual spring water and fed it to Mo Ying. He waited until it was full and then took away the basin.
"Okay, you've had enough to drink today, let's go back!"
Ten miles away, for Mo Ying, it only took a quarter of an hour. After getting off the horse, he first placed Mo Ying in the backyard, then took a few hares and pheasants to the kitchen, and handed them over to the Lan family's Mammy, let's make it into a dish for dinner.
