Chapter 239: This side is not in a hurry, that side is in a hurry
The few of them walked slowly up the mountain and met a hunter from the same village on the way.
The hunter carried a pointed iron fork on his shoulder, with a rabbit and two pheasants on it.
When Shuanzi's father saw this, he greeted the hunter from a distance.
The hunter came closer and chatted with Shuanzi's father for a while, and they all stopped to rest.
The hunter went down the mountain, and Leng Rongyue and his companions continued to walk into the mountains.
As we walked further into the mountains, we met no one else.
As they walked, the one in blue talked the most, and whenever he had nothing to do, he would chase after Shuanzi's father and Luo Yun and ask them all sorts of questions.
But, it is usually Shuanzi's father who answers.
"Uncle Zhao, there are small animals like pheasants and rabbits in this mountain, but...are there any big wild animals?"
"Of course there are!" Shuanzi's father replied, "The further you go into the mountains, the more wild animals you will see, such as deer, roe deer, roe deer...all these animals are there."
“Are there any ferocious beasts?
For example, wolves, wild boars, black bears, and big tigers?" Zi Yi asked curiously.
Shuanzi's father laughed and said, "Probably.
But we are lucky that we haven't really encountered it yet.
There are many small and big animals in this mountain.
I think whether it is wolves or tigers, they have enough food and will not come out of the mountains. "
How did Uncle Zhao know there were wolves and tigers in the mountains?" Shuanzi's father was amused by Lan Yi's question, "I haven't seen them, but I have heard of them!
It is common for us to go into the mountains to collect herbs and spend the night there.
The night is quiet and all kinds of sounds can be heard.
Like the sound of insects, like the cry of night owls...
Sometimes you can hear the howling of wolves and roaring of tigers.
However, whether it is a wolf or a tiger, it should be in the deeper mountains farther away.
In the more mysterious mountains further inside, not to mention us herbalists, even hunters would not dare to go in easily without finding a few companions!
But then again, we all know that people are afraid of wild beasts, but in fact, wild beasts are also afraid of people!
There is a place for each man and beast."
"Haha, that means that when we, the herbalists and hunters, go into the mountains, we are actually invading the territories of animals big and small?" said the man in blue playfully.
Shuanzi's father smiled and nodded, "You can say that.
So, to those animals, we are the invaders.
When the small animals saw people, they would hide if they could, or run away if they could;
As for the larger ones, their attacks on humans are sometimes because they need food… they regard humans as food;
Sometimes, they attack people because they are afraid and want to protect themselves.
We herbalists are different from hunters.
Hunters go to find those animals;
As for us herbalists, we are eager to get away from it!"
Lan Yi nodded after hearing this, "Yeah, that's true.
However, I hope to come across some small animals, such as rabbits, pheasants, etc., so that we can roast them for a snack later!"
"I hope the girl's wish will come true. Then, we can also enjoy a delicious meal!" said Shuanzi's father with a smile.
"No problem! Look at me later!" The man in blue waved his arms, looking generous and magnanimous, which made the people around him laugh.
Zi Yi teased, "Okay, if we don't have pheasants or rabbits to eat later, we'll roast you and eat you!"
After hearing this, several people laughed again.
With the Blue-Cloaked and Purple-Cloaked people making jokes and Shuanzi's father responding good-temperedly, the sense of strangeness between Leng Rongyue and the others and the two guides was reduced a lot.
Leng Rongyue walked along, looking at the plants around him while also observing the two guides.
Shuanzi's father is very talkative and will answer every question, even ten questions for one;
But Luo Yun didn't ask or speak, and when he spoke, he used the simplest words.
This person's personality is really different from that of other people!
Two guides led the way.
Watch them wandering freely through the woods.
Although they are all over fifty years old, their steps are extremely brisk and steady, and it is obvious that they often walk in the mountains.
So far, at least these two people have not found anything suspicious.
Leng Rongyue didn't expect to discover or find anything just after entering the mountain;
I had no intention of trying to find out anything from these two people right away, so as not to arouse suspicion too early.
Take it slow, more haste makes waste!
She is not in a hurry!
They had just entered the mountains and there was still plenty of time, so there was no need to rush.
Leng Rongyue is not in a hurry, but someone is!
In the mansion of Marquis Qinxing in the capital, Marquis Qinxing Leng Xianzhi was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters and his eyes were red!
Leng Xian sent Liu Da to pick up Leng Rongyue from Banshan Manor in southern Beijing.
People were sent out, but Leng Xian was not a fool. He knew in his heart that even if Liu Da went there, he might not be able to bring Leng Rongyue back.
But, he had no choice.
Given his current situation, he must do it as long as there is a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of possibility.
And that tiny bit of hope that he had, and that tiny bit of possibility that he felt, was that Leng Rongyue was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Qinxing!
Leng Rongyue is Leng Xian’s biological daughter, and no one can change that!
More importantly, Leng Rongyue was also married by the emperor under the title of the legitimate daughter of Marquis Qinxing!
