Rate the wilderness

Yechen, Gouya and Changjiao are also together, participating in rabbit hunting. They wear grass crowns on their heads and hide in the bushes, like three strange-looking saplings.

Hunting hares are usually at dusk or night, which is when they come out for activities, but in spring, hares will appear during the day, male rabbits wander around, looking for female rabbits to mate, this is a good time to hunt hares, during the day you can See them busy figure.

As the few people in Xishan Cave who use bows, the three of them were arranged by Zhu Maoya to hunt rabbits.The herd of deer in the Sunset Forest is getting less and less, and the large prey in the White Lake is also hunted down one by one, but there are more hares in the Rabbit Forest, and the size is smaller, as long as there is meat.

"I said we can wait for it to finish riding before shooting it?" Changjiaoyi said with a twig in his mouth, trying to keep his voice down.

On the grass in front, a fat big rabbit was riding on another rabbit, and it never occurred to the hunters to watch.It was accompanied by several partners, most of whom were chasing, playing, and having pre-mating entertainment.

"What's the difference? They're going to die anyway." Gouya stretched his bow, shot the big fat rabbit that was doing business dead with one arrow, and called his dog to chase other rabbits.

"If you are doing something good, and someone shoots an arrow from behind like this, you will definitely not be happy." The long legs also "swish" the arrow feathers, joining the hunting ranks, but said words considering the rabbit's mood.

Gouya turned his head and glared at Changjiaoyi, thinking that what he said was not pleasant, and Yechen, a hunting partner, was better, especially quiet.

Yechen concentrates on hunting. He shoots arrows so fast that he has taught him to shoot several prey first. He is always a dog who is one step behind. He can't help complaining: "Ah, that's just mine."

Yechen retrieved the arrow from the prey, and handed the prey directly to Gouya.

"Haha, Yechen, you're wrong, don't snatch me and Gouya's prey next time." Changjiao Yile laughed, obviously he wasn't angry at all.

"I'm afraid they will run away." Ye Chen just smiled, he didn't mean to compete at all.

Once the rabbit is out of sight, it will be out of sight, and no matter how fast it runs, it will not be able to catch up.

The three counted the rabbits they had hunted, most of them were shot by Yechen's arrow feathers and died at his hands.The long feet were also speechless, and he said to Yechen: "The people in the star cave are really blind, so they kicked you out. With you, even if the dwarf deer and the white lake rhinoceros are eaten up, we still have rabbits!"

Chang Jiaoyi has been angry with Yong Yi these days, but he has always been kind to Ye Chen, and he recognizes Ye Chen's ability very much.

"If the dwarf deer and the white lake rhinoceros are all eaten, we will starve to death if we only eat rabbits. Three rabbits are not enough to eat." Gouya tied up the prey with a straw rope and put it on his shoulders. The caught prey was only enough for Yong Yi to eat three meals.

"We should think of a way. Rabbits can be raised. They eat grass like sheep." Yechen was also worried about the dwindling food.Even the rabbits all over the mountains and plains, there will be a day when they finish eating, there are so many mouths in the West Mountain Cave.

"Growing is so slow. When they grow up, we still have to starve to death. We have raised them before, and they have never grown meat, and they will die of diarrhea." Gouya thinks it is not feasible. Rabbits should live in in the woodland.

"Yechen, it's really not easy to raise. It's okay to raise pigs and sheep." Long feet rarely get close to the captive animals in Xishan Cave. He is a hunter and has no enthusiasm for breeding.

Yechen didn't agree with what Gouya and Changleg said, he wanted to try, and now there is nothing more important than food, he was very worried, even if he could get through this year without going hungry, what about next year?

The three rabbit hunters brought their prey and were about to leave the rabbit forest, when the dog-toothed dog suddenly barked, barking fiercely towards the forest.The three of them became alert immediately. They put their arrows on their bows and explored the forest. They saw two human heads protruding from the grass in front of them, and they also wore grass crowns on their heads.

The three of them were the only deer hunters in the West Mountain Cave in Rabbit Forest, and they were obviously enemies.

Long Feet wasn't nervous at all, he said to Gouya, "It's the rabbit hunter from Star Cave." He hung the bow and arrow back to his waist, fished out a spear from his back, and held it in his hand.When fighting, the long legs are still used to using spears.

Yechen stretched out his arm, stopped Changjiaoyi, and said, "I know him, don't do anything." Yechen recognized the man in the grass, he was a big raccoon, and the person next to him was a half-grown child.

Seeing a young man and a boy emerge from the grass, both Chang Jiao Yi and Dog Fang put down their weapons, they calmly watched Ye Chen walk towards the boy.

"Big raccoon, it's me, you put down the bow, they won't hurt you." Yechen went over to show his kindness, and slowly approached the big raccoon holding the bow.Big Fox seemed to hesitate, but in the end, he still chose to trust Ye Chen, and he put down his bow and arrow.

The boy next to Big Fox is holding a small wooden bow, which is not very lethal, and besides, his hand holding the bow is shaking, so it is not a threat at all.Yechen came to Dali and the child, he pressed the child's hand, helped him put down the bow, and said softly, "It's me."

Yechen naturally knew the child in the star cave, and this child also knew Yechen, but Yechen had changed so much that he couldn't believe it for a while.

"I heard they said you went to Xishan Cave." Da Li looked at Ye Chen, there was no hatred in his eyes, he was just surprised.If the person in front of him didn't speak, he wouldn't be able to recognize him as Dirty Hair.

If Dirty Mao used to be like a dirty old wolf that everyone disliked, then Dirty Mao now is neat and elegant, like a beautiful big deer.

"Well, yes." Ye Chen said indifferently, he knew that in the eyes of the people in the star cave, he had confirmed his identity as a traitor.He didn't mind, he was just worried about the one person who stayed in the star cave.

"It's fine to leave, we have a hard time." Da Li looked at Chang Jiao Yi and Gou Ya. In his heart, the Xishan Cave people were hateful enemies, but Ye Chen was not at least not.

Yechen asked heavily: "Big Li, how is Xiaoxi?"

Big Fox just nodded, he didn't seem to want to say anything more, although this person was eager to hear the news from him.Xiao Xiye cared about her brother very much, even if it wasn't her own brother, but this brother would never return, and when they met again, he was already an enemy.

Dali touched his bow with his hand, he raised his eyes to look at Yechen, and said goodbye: "We should go."

Yechen could only say, "Go."

The big raccoon took the boy and left, he took a few steps, turned around suddenly, and said to Yechen: "Xiaoxi is pregnant, I will take good care of her."

Yechen's heart sank like a stone, and he was stunned for a long time, until his long legs put his shoulders on him and asked him: "Who is pregnant? Are you okay?" Yechen looked up to the front, the big raccoon and the boy had already gone away, and they were gone. trace.

"Xiaoxi, she is my younger sister." Yechen murmured.

"I thought you didn't have a family in the star cave." Changjiao was also surprised, he knew that Yechen was an orphan and had no parents, so where did this younger sister come from.

"We are not biological brothers and sisters." Ye Chen's mouth was full of bitterness, he was still in melancholy, he had been away from the star cave for too long, when he was not around, how would Xiao Xi's life be?

"That's not a very good thing, your sister is going to have a baby." Gou Ya didn't understand why Ye Chen was sad, if it was him, he would think it was a happy event.

The long legs also patted Yechen's shoulder again, which was a soothing gesture, and he urged, "Let's go."

Yechen nodded, and followed his two companions to leave the woods. His heart was heavy and he felt guilty all the way.Pregnancy requires food, and if there is a lack of food in the star cave, Xiaoxi and her child will suffer, and the child may even die.Since he left the star cave, he can no longer do anything to this younger sister, which makes him deeply painful.

The three of them hunted a lot of rabbits and returned with a full load. On the way, Changleg and Gouya talked about women and children. They both have wives and sooner or later they will have children.They were so absorbed in their conversation that they strode forward and walked a long way, only to realize that Ye Chen hadn't followed.

Yechen stood at the foot of a hillside, he looked as if he had lost his mind, he held the wooden bow tightly with one hand, and covered his chest with the other.There are blue finch flowers all over the hillside, which are dazzling in the sun. They sway in the wind, and the blue flower clusters are like blue butterflies.

"Blue sparrow flower." Chang Jiao also touched his chin, he had heard Long Bow's warning to Zhu Maoya.

"Wow, when did so many blue finch grow here, don't poison the rabbit to death." Gouya is worried about the rabbit. The blue finch is poisonous and not fatal to humans, but the rabbit will suffer from stomach cramps and die if it eats it by mistake .

The wind blows over the flowers, and the blue petals fall down. Yechen stretches out his hand, catches a petal, and holds it in the palm of his hand.This gust of wind blows the red feather tied on Yechen's hair, and blows his flowing hair. His hair has grown after a winter day, and it hangs down on his shoulders again.He has an elegant neck and a slender figure. A bow is slung around his waist, and homemade feathered arrows are carried behind his straight back. Regular light gray feathers are attached to each arrow.

Chang Jiao was also distracted for a while, but when he came back to his senses, his annoyance towards Yong Yi, an old friend, seemed to have eased a lot.Well, he will forgive Yong Yi, although it is abhorrent that this guy made his precious sister sad.

On this day, Yechen was hunting rabbits in Sunset Forest, and Yongyi was hunting rhinos in White Lake. Yechen and the others came back at noon, and Yongyi and the others did not return until dark.Yechen climbed to the top of the mountain and waited anxiously. When he saw a fire in front of him, he hurried down the mountain.

Mo Meng insisted on a torch and walked in the front, Ye Chen anxiously looked for Yong Yi's figure, but saw him walking in the middle with someone on his back.Yechen hurried over, but was stopped by Zhu Maoya, he said in a deep voice, "It's antlers, he was bitten by a wolf."

The antlers lay on Yong Yi's back, humming in pain. His hanging foot was already bloody, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.

The late hunters walked past Yechen wearily, even Yong Yi looked so heavy, with his brows furrowed.Yechen went to help carry the prey. People used two big logs to carry a rhinoceros and walked slowly.

Yechen lifted the dead wood, and asked the claw marks beside him in a low voice: "How could he be bitten by wolves?" Wolves are afraid of crowds, they will not besiege a group of people, especially hunters.Claw Hen shook his head and replied, "That's not an ordinary wolf."

There have always been a lot of wolves in White Lake, so people are familiar with wolves and know how to deal with them.Not an ordinary wolf, but what kind of wolf?Yechen was puzzled.

"That's a group of wolves that have eaten human flesh." Claw Mark said.As for how he could determine that what he encountered was a wolf that cannibalized human flesh, he didn't talk about it.

All the people in the Xishan Cave came out to welcome them, holding torches and standing in a row at the entrance of the cave.They were also looking forward to it, and they also discovered that the hunting team was different. This time the hunting team not only brought back the prey, but also brought back the seriously injured clansmen.

The author has something to say: Changjiaoyi: Well, Chen is so beautiful, so I forgive you for moving on.

Yi (surprised):? ? ?You are not allowed to look at him!
