two ears pricked up

Dozens of carriages carrying students passed slowly through the streets of Yucheng. The scene was quite grand, attracting pedestrians to stop and watch.

It would take at least three hours to go back and forth from Yucheng to Milu Mountain, and it was still early. Huo Zheng was worried that the one and a half hour journey would make Bai Xi bored, so he parked the carriage slightly inward, and bought a few packs with a street food vendor. Date cake with nuts, give it to Bai Xi in the carriage.

There were more than ten people sitting in the carriage, they all watched Bai Xi take the things from Huo Zheng's hand.After the car curtain was lowered, Fang Zichen smiled and slapped Bai Xi's shoulder lightly, squinted his eyes, and smiled enviously: "Your elder brother is so kind to you. He not only wants to accompany you out in person, but also takes care of you on the way."

Fang Zichen sighed: "I am the eldest in my family, and there is a younger brother and younger sister to take care of."

As soon as he said that, the rest of the students agreed. Most of them came from ordinary peasant households. There were at least three or four children in the family. If there were more children, no one would care more and love more. Being able to eat a full meal every day is the most satisfying thing , Where can I take care of other brothers and sisters.

Bai Xi distributed the small cakes in his hands to everyone. They knew that his elder brother bought them specially for him, so they didn't want to take too much, so they just accepted his kindness and took a little to not embarrass him.

The carriage got out of Yucheng, its speed gradually increased, and it galloped on the official road.

The groom was good at driving, and he controlled the car smoothly, without causing the people in the car to feel obvious bumps. After Bai Xi had eaten, his eyelids began to lose strength. Fang Zichen saw that he was sleepy, so he let him sleep on his shoulders. This sleep was enough for him. After sleeping for an hour, after waking up, the carriage had already entered the boundary of Elk Mountain.

The mountains are continuous and the old trees are green.The groom slowed down the speed of driving the carriage, one by one, winding slowly up the official road.

The white smoke enveloped the mountain, as if walking into a fairyland. When they arrived at the entrance of the mountain, the guard officer stopped the carriage. Mr. Changzhen and several other masters were sitting in the carriage in front of him.

The gentleman got out of the car and showed the customs clearance document to the official, explaining his purpose, and the official asked to search all the carriages before allowing them to enter the mountain.

Bai Xi was awakened by Fang Zichen. He smelled the breath in the mountains. He was still dazed just now. Now he had lifted the veil, poked his head out with piercing eyes and looked out. The fresh and rich air entered his lungs, and he was very energetic. I can't wait to turn into an eagle and soar in the mountains.

He tugged on Fang Zichen's sleeve, "Zichen, I like this place very much!"

Fang Zichen said with a smile: "Ordinary people can't come to this place. If it wasn't for the master dealing with the people in the court, we haven't had the chance to come and take a look. It is rumored that there is a hunting paddock for the royal family in the mountain. I don't know if we can come here soon." Feast your eyes on seeing a high official, the magistrate of Yucheng, I have never seen other officials."

The students here are eager to participate in the national exam to seek an official position. They deeply agree with Fang Zichen's words. If they can take this opportunity to climb up to the officials in the court, it will only benefit and harm them.

Bai Xi was not interested in the far-reaching ambitions of a group of students, they chatted happily, Bai Xi did not disturb them, opened the curtain of the car, and sat down next to Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng looked at him, his cheeks were extraordinarily rosy after waking up, as if fresh fruit soaked in water was plump and juicy, he couldn't help swallowing, and said, "Why did you come out?"

The white and round almond eyes are curved with a smile, the squatting posture, the tip of the nose is moving, the primitive nature is slowly awakening, sniffing around like a small animal, showing that he likes this place very much.

The carriage is parked on the mountain road, and vehicles are not allowed to enter here.The people sitting in the carriage got off one after another. Everyone picked up their bags and were about to walk into the mountains. They complained for a while, and some students thought it was very good. The spring is not just a spring, but tired. It is a wonderful thing to see the beautiful scenery of Elk Mountain.

Huo Zheng took the bag from Bai Xi's hand and carried it on his back, the two walked side by side, some sections of the road were steep, Huo Zheng held Bai Xi tightly and led him along.

The crisp birdsong echoed in the mountains, and within half an hour, they arrived at the place. Looking down in front of them, they could see the enclosed hunting ground. The field was very vast, but it was unknown where the boundary ended. .

The master asked them to set up tents along the waterfront and stay overnight here tonight. The sun is at its strongest at noon, so they should set up their tents early while it is warm. After eating, they can go to the hunting ground to have a look. .

When everyone heard that they were going to the hunting ground, they were very motivated. They rolled up their sleeves and started to work. Those who didn’t know it were responsible for finding firewood to make a fire for cooking. stop.

"Ah!" Bai Xi stared at the birds falling on the branches of the trees all around, and ran over to talk to them in surprise.

There are outstanding people in the area of ​​Milu Mountain, and the birds and beasts on the mountain bloom early. A group of birds can't stop chirping around the branches, saying that this person is too ugly and crooked!Said that the person's clothes were too green, like a cucumber! He also said that the other person looked good, with a white and round face, hey, why did they come towards them!

Karma——

The birds fluttered their wings, and Bai Xi came under the tree, and talked to them with a smile, before he opened his mouth, the birds that gathered together exploded.

Wow, how can this man talk to us?

Boy, how can you speak animal language?

Boy, I see how familiar you look...

The chattering words poured into Bai Xi's ears, he rubbed his ears, and answered them one by one in the order they were asked.

The bird, who was still holding an attitude of contempt just now, heard that he was a ghost who turned into a human being, and immediately fell from the treetops and flew around him. Its pea-sized eyes were full of admiration, and its pointed beak kept moving. There are more and more.

When Huo Zheng found Bai Xi, he spread out around him with him as the center, birds and beasts of all sizes surrounded him, listening to him intently, a group of birds and beasts staring intently, looked funny and cute.

Huo Zheng made a slight movement, and the people sitting in front and a group of birds and beasts all turned to look at him.

"clank!"

Bai Xi happily waved to him, telling the birds and beasts that he was the person he just mentioned.

Huo Zheng approached, and the birds and beasts in front of him made way for him. After Huo Zheng sat down beside Bai Xi, the birds and beasts that gave way returned to their original positions and lay down.

They stared at Huo Zheng curiously, and after a while, they continued to urge Bai Xi to talk to them about things in the world.

Bai Xi's mouth and tongue were dry, Huo Zheng untied the water bag tied around his waist, drank some, and continued talking to them.The birds and beasts looked at it with envy. It's not bad to be a human being. When you are thirsty, someone will pass water to your mouth to feed it.

Huo Zheng looked at the sky and said, "Master will take everyone to the hunting ground in a while."

Listening to Bai Xi's words, the birds and beasts fell into agitation, obviously dissatisfied with the hunting ground.

They accused people of being greedy and cruel, saying that they would come every spring and autumn to hunt animals in the mountains.

Spring is the season when animals frequently mate outside. In autumn, they have to forage and stockpile to survive the severe winter. People like to hunt at this time when they are most active, and this is the case every year.

The Milu Mountain, headed by the immortal deer, is the most hunted group in the spring and autumn of each year. Now they rarely move around in places where people come and go. The deep mountain areas that have not been set foot by people are the places where the immortal deer hide and hide.

Bai Xi experienced the fear of being hunted, he comforted them, and said to Huo Zheng: "Let's go and have a look."

The hunting ground is strictly guarded, and hundreds of people are not allowed to enter at the same time.After discussion, it was decided to enter in batches, and another group of people would be replaced every half an hour.

Huo Zheng mixed in with Bai Xi's team, and when he entered, he was stopped by the officers and soldiers, and Mr. Chang Tan came forward to resolve the matter. The people who went with him knew that Huo Zheng had recovered the stolen things for Mr. Huo Zheng, and they praised him even more.

The hunting was held two days ago, and the students felt quite regretful that they lacked interest when visiting the hunting grounds. After all, it is not uncommon for them to come from farming families in this high mountain and dense forest. They trekked to this mountain by car just to meet people.

Bai Xiyou's arousal is that his body is not very comfortable.

The woods are filled with the smell that only comes out after mating, and the faint smell of blood. The two smells are mixed together, making the white thin body hot and frantic at times.

In the estrous spring, Huo Zheng comforted him only last night. Now, walking in this bloody jungle mixed with animal desire, his temporarily extinguished desire gradually revived, mixed with strange frenzy and agitation. He supported Huo Zheng on the bed. Rest after the tree trunk, wipe off the fine sweat from the tip of the nose.

The people who got together to take action not long ago had dispersed, and there was no one around them. Huo Zheng took out a clean handkerchief and wiped it for him, then squatted down, "I'll carry you back to rest."

Bai Xi obediently put her hands around Huo Zheng's neck, and placed them on the man's strong and generous back. Huo Zheng hugged his legs tightly and walked steadily.

A faint sob came from the depths of the forest, Bai Xi asked Huo Zheng to stop for a moment, and pointed in the opposite direction, "Zhengzheng, go over there."

He heard cries for help.

The direction Bai Xi pointed was beyond the warning range of the master, Huo Zheng didn't ask him, and went in according to his words, they stopped in front of a mountain wall, Bai Xi asked Huo Zheng to put him down, and climbed over to the stone wall with his strength, pushed aside. In the grass, a silver-gray deer was found in a hidden stone crevice.

Luming is Weiwei. It is a deer that has just grown up and is at its most vigorous. When it is in heat, it wants to find a mate to have sex with, but it strays into the hunting ground.

The day before yesterday, it was shot in the leg by a hunter. It found this crevice in the rock and hid in when it was fleeing.

The fairy deer is smaller than the ordinary mountain deer. It raises its head and calls to Baixi. Baixi lands next to it, squeezes into the narrow place, touches its injured leg, the arrow is still on its leg, gently As soon as he touched it, it hurt so much that his eyelashes were wet, and he lowered his head, resting on the back of his hand, feeling aggrieved.

Bai Xi touched its head, and then asked Huo Zheng to pull him up.

The forest is rich in medicinal herbs, and Bai Xi followed the medical knowledge learned in the "Medical Book of the Veterinary World" and found the medicinal herbs that can stop bleeding and have the effect of nourishing blood without much effort.

He asked Huo Zheng to crush the medicinal herbs separately, tore off the hem of his clothes, and made them into strips, then asked Huo Zheng to pick him up and jump down into the crevice again.

"Don't move, I will pull out this arrow for you, and your wound will heal after applying the medicine."

Xianlu nodded slightly to him, he gritted his teeth, tried to hold its leg, and pulled out the arrow forcefully.The moment the arrow was pulled out, deer blood sprayed his hand, and Bai Xi's hands were covered with blood, so he applied medicine and bandaged it as quickly as possible.

This is the first time Bai Xi puts what he has learned into practice, and his heart beats like a drum during the whole process, for fear that something might go wrong.By the time the deer was wrapped up, his back was already covered with a layer of wet sweat, and his throat was extremely thirsty.

Bai Xi stroked its eyelashes and told it to leave after its injury was healed.

The grass here is lush and the terrain is hidden. It is not impossible for the fairy deer to stay here to recuperate.

Xianlu sticks out his tongue and licks his finger reluctantly, Bai Xi talks to it a few more words before leaving.

When leaving, Bai Xi didn't care to wash off the blood on his hands, and hurriedly untied the water bag on Huo Zheng's waist, and couldn't wait to drink a few mouthfuls.

He was in a mess, but Huo Zheng frowned but didn't blame him.Pulling away Bai Xi's hand, Huo Zheng carefully wiped off the deer blood on the corners of his lips, and said, "Drink slowly, I'll feed you."
