Chapter 1098 There Must Be a Reason for My Brother's Blushing
Fu Mingjun took a sip of water and continued, "The next day, we thought we would go back the way we came, but we ended up going further and further into the mountains."
Later, we kept walking and walking, following the huge sound of water, until we reached that rocky valley.
At that time, we saw several wild goats and several deer drinking water by the pool.
We originally intended to shoot a deer or a wild goat, but before we could even draw our bows and nock our arrows, we heard a series of wolf howls. Judging from the sound, it was a pack of wolves!
Hearing the wolf howl, the goats and deer by the water knew danger was approaching and immediately scattered and fled!
We were terrified and ran back as fast as we could along the way we came.
Before they had gone very far, they discovered that wolves were chasing them from behind!
Facing a dozen or so wolves chasing after us, we fired arrows...
As a result, only one of my arrows hit a wolf in the waist; your second brother and third brother, in their panic, both missed!
With no other choice, the three of us used the last of our strength to climb up the tree!
We were in the tree, and those dozen or so wolves were just surrounding and guarding the area below...
They won't leave unless they can get their hands on us;
If they don't leave, we can't get down!
The stalemate has continued.
Wolves are very cunning. Later, those wolves even started gnawing on trees!
Fortunately, the trees we chose were quite sturdy, and we couldn't bring them down in a short time.
Fortunately, I still had the special signal fireworks of our Duke Anguo's mansion with me at the time.
I suddenly remembered the signal flares I had with me, so I quickly set one off.
After a while, another one was released.
After that, all we could do was cling to the tree trunk and wait, hoping that my grandfather and father would see the distress signal I had sent out and come to rescue us as soon as possible.
The area under the tree was teeming with hungry wolves, their eyes gleaming with ferocity!
We had stayed up all night the night before, and this night we were so sleepy we could barely keep our eyes open!
But there were hungry wolves under the tree, and we were afraid that if we fell asleep, we would fall and immediately become their meal!
The three of us called each other's names, reminding each other not to fall asleep and to stay awake.
When dawn broke, my grandfather, father, and second uncle arrived with their guards.
They were all skilled in martial arts. Of the dozen or so wolves, only two escaped; the rest were killed by my grandfather and the others!
My grandfather, my father, and my second uncle then climbed the tree and carried the three of us down, our limbs already stiff and numb.
As for how we got back to the manor after we came down from the tree... how we got out of the mountain... how we got back to the estate...
Of course, she fell asleep on the adults' backs!
The three of us were completely exhausted. Seeing our family and relaxing, we all immediately fell asleep!
Leng Rongyue listened to Fu Mingjun recount his childhood adventures, and then looked at this refined and dignified older brother...
Leng Rongyue tried hard to reconcile the image of the older brother in front of her with that of the older brother she knew when she was ten years old...
The top scholar in the imperial examination... the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review... and the mischievous boy who, at the age of ten, boldly ventured into the deep mountains with his two younger brothers, only to nearly be devoured by hungry wolves...
These two images need to overlap... Uh... Leng Rongyue thinks... This is really difficult!
"I never imagined that my older brother's childhood was like this!"
Leng Rongyue tilted her head, staring intently at Fu Mingjun opposite her, and let out a heartfelt sigh.
"Big brother, you just said that this was the first time you went to that valley—which means you went there again later."
When was the last time you went there?
Why go there again?
After Leng Rongyue asked the question, she noticed that Fu Mingjun's expression was even stranger than before!
Not only did her face turn red, but even the tips of her ears turned red...
There is a situation!
Leng Rongyue's first thought was: her older brother's face was red and the tips of his ears were red, there must be an unusual reason for it.
A little flame of gossip rose in Leng Rongyue's heart!
The older brother looked slightly embarrassed because a dark part of his childhood had been revealed.
The blush on his face and the red tips of his ears... could it be that they've uncovered a past relationship of his older brother?
Leng Rongyue craned her little head forward, staring intently at Fu Mingjun, making Fu Mingjun's face burn even hotter!
"Big brother, why don't you talk to Yue'er about it?"
Fu Mingjun coughed twice, but still didn't speak.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyu, who was sitting next to Leng Rongyue, spoke up leisurely: "Brother doesn't want to tell Yue'er why he went to that valley again. Perhaps... it has something to do with a certain young lady?"
"Um?
what's the situation?
Miss from a certain family?
Is she my future sister-in-law?
"Big brother, could it be that you've gone back into the mountains again for my future sister-in-law?"
Fu Mingjun glared fiercely at Xiao Jingyu.
Xiao Jingyu raised an eyebrow indifferently.
"Big brother, why don't you tell Yue'er about it!"
Could it be... that my future sister-in-law sent you?"
Leng Rongyue thought for a moment, shook her head, and immediately dismissed the conjecture.
"Probably not!"
The mountains are so dangerous, how could my future sister-in-law let you go on such a dangerous journey?
Or... did you go to that valley again to hunt prey for my future sister-in-law as a gift?
My future sister-in-law probably wouldn't like wild goats, let alone fierce wolves...
Could it be that my future sister-in-law... likes deer?
