Quiet Night Thought of Ancient Sword and Qi Tan

The winter in the mountains is extremely difficult, especially with a free eater like Xiaohu beside him.

The dried meat that Murong Jing had stored was enough to eat, and with the meat of the big tiger and the five wolves, it was not too much.But Xiaohu's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and his body has grown a lot in a month.Murong Jing had no choice but to take Xiaohu out hunting in winter.

It's just... most of the animals are hibernating in winter, so what can they get?

Murong Jing was still very humane and didn't give the cubs the meat of the big tiger, which was pitiful for the cubs. In order to ensure that their food was enough to last until spring, they had to often go hungry.

Finally this difficult winter passed, and when the spring blossomed, Murong Jing began to train the little tiger to hunt.

However, those animals ran away immediately after seeing the little tiger.

So Xiaohu had nothing to eat that day.

"You remember." Murong Jing pointed at Xiaohu solemnly: "No hunting, no food! Don't think about finding food, I'm hiding it!"

So after starving for four days, Xiaohu finally managed to catch a rabbit.

Seeing Xiaohu gnawing on the rabbit, Murong Jing suddenly asked strangely, "Xiao Jing, are you there?"

【What's up? 】

"Rabbits should be cuter than tigers. Why do you raise a cub but let it eat rabbits?"

【…】

"But as far as the result is concerned... at least the tiger cubs can help me hunt, and the rabbits can do nothing but eat grass..."

【…】

"Squeak!!"

Murong Jing was delighted: "Ah, spring is here, and all the monkeys have come out to play."

Those monkeys came out of the cave to look for food one after another, and some of them came to Murong Jing's cave to "drop in".But those monkeys stopped far away when they saw Xiaohu.

It seems that with the little tiger around, some animals dare not approach me anymore.Murong Jing raised her eyebrows, this feeling is great.

"By the way, now that the stream has melted...you can catch fish!" Murong Jing clapped her hands, and Xiaohu looked up at her with a confused expression on his face.

Picking up the homemade harpoon, Murong Jing patted Xiaohu on the head, and they went to the stream together.

[Don't forget to take out the guts this time. 】Xiao Jing kindly reminded.

"...Understood, you are so long-winded!"

——————————————————————————————————

This day Murong Jing ran far away and found the trap by accident.

"Is anyone here going up the mountain?"

【yes……】

"This trap...is really disgusting, take it apart!" Murong Jing pouted, "I am the only one who can set traps to hunt in this mountain!"

【Hey, this is not good. 】

"What's wrong, if I don't dismantle it, what will I do if I accidentally step in it in the future!"

【…】

"Even if I didn't step in, what would happen if Xiaohu stepped in? If Xiaohu didn't step in, what would happen if those monkeys stepped in? Those monkeys..."

【……somebody is coming! 】

Murong Jing pricked up her ears, looked at the nearby terrain, and found a place to hide.

Two men dressed as hunters, one tall and one short, walked over here.

"Why is there no prey?" The tall man sighed.

"Is our method wrong? Or maybe those monkeys don't come here?" The short man scratched his head.

"But some time ago, someone saw monkeys around here." The tall man said bitterly: "I remember that there were a lot of monkeys in Jishan, and I don't know how those people caught monkeys. Now there is only one monkey. Monkeys can be sold for a lot of money."

"You said monkey brains are so delicious? The tastes of those dignitaries are really strange."

"Who knows, let's leave it for now, and come back to see it later."

When the two walked away, Murong Jing walked out with a dark face.

"Eating monkey brains? It's not disgusting!" Murong Jing spat in the direction the two were walking.

[It seems that the group of monkeys... will be in great trouble. 】

"Tch, as the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. Now that the little tiger is with me, I am the king. Who dares to make trouble in my territory!" Murong Jing snorted.

【What do you want? 】

——————————————————————————————————

A few days later, the villagers who went up the mountain to hunt came back with wounds, all crying and saying that there are ghosts in the mountain, and they must not go hunting on the mountain again.

Some unbelieving young people still went up to the mountain to round up monkeys, but suddenly found that the monkeys seemed to have disappeared. When they walked deeper into the mountain, they all stepped on the traps one by one. After taking the traps off in pain, they found that they were all monkeys. The bear trap that I put in the mountain when I rounded up the monkeys and then disappeared.

What's going on?Could it be that all the monkeys in the mountains have become spirits?

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly a chuckle came, and everyone looked around in horror.

It seemed to be a little girl's voice, which made people panic.

"Stay here and play with me, okay?"

These people looked at each other.

"I'm bored here by myself... you guys... stay and accompany me, okay?" The little girl's voice seemed to be right next to her ears, and these people instantly got goosebumps all over the place.

"Help! There is a ghost!!" I don't know who was the first to run away. One person took the lead, and the rest followed suit.

Some villagers thought of the tragedy that the General's Mansion was destroyed overnight in Jiangling not far from Jishan Mountain a year ago. There were rumors that the ghost of the General's Mansion fled into the mountain to do evil. in the mountains.

Since then, there have been legends of mountain ghosts in Jishan, and the surrounding mountain people dare not go into the deep mountains to hunt, and firewood and hunting are only in the outermost periphery.

——————————————————————————————————

"I said these people dare to be more timid?" Murong Jing tied a tree vine to a tree and made a swing.

【Who knows, I just set up a few traps and pretended to be a little ghost... There are still people who are so scared that they pee their pants, I said... Is it that scary? 】

"Cut... I think it's because they usually do too many bad things." Murong Jing curled her lips in disdain.

[Well, it makes sense. 】

Murong Jing looked at the monkeys around her, and said loudly: "Children! From now on, you will follow me, the king, and eat hot food and drink hot food! Whoever dares to occupy our territory and steal our things will be destroyed!"

The monkeys didn't understand what Murong Jing was talking about, but they still squeaked and yelled together. (Actually, I was startled by Murong Jing's sudden voice...)

【Jinger...】

"what happened?"

【That... I'm going to sleep...】

"Sleeping again? You slept for a whole month last time!"

【I don't know... I just feel very tired... Anyway, I will wake up again...】

"If you're sleeping, who will talk to me... I was really suffocated last time!"

[There are also little tigers and monkeys. 】

"But they can't understand me..."

[But I never saw you say less to them. 】

"What did you say?"

[Ah... nothing. 】

"Then you should wake up early..."

【It's not something I can control... The time I was sober recently... I can't tell. 】

"You've been sleeping longer and longer...I'm so afraid that one day you'll just fall asleep like this and never wake up again..."

[No... If that's the case, I should feel it, but I don't have that feeling, it's just that the time to wake up is getting less and less, and I'm getting more and more sleepy...]

"hope so……"

When Xiao Jing woke up again, it was already a year later.Murong Jing had no one to talk to during this year and almost went crazy, she almost couldn't speak, so that she couldn't make a sound when she first heard Xiao Jing's voice.

Little mirror!

【Well, I'm here. 】

Why?I obviously didn't speak ah?Murong Jing thought suspiciously.

[You think in your heart, I can hear it too. 】

ah?Then why didn't you tell me before?

[You didn't ask. 】

Well...but, now I...

Murong Jing opened her mouth, and it took a lot of effort to find her voice.

"Okay... so strenuous..." Murong Jing coughed for a long time before she could say these words.

[You... How long have you not spoken? 】

"I don't know... cough cough... Xiaohu has grown up, anyway, after you fell asleep... I basically... didn't say..." Murong Jing patted Xiaohu's head.

Xiaohu can no longer be called Xiaohu. Xiaohu, who is over a year old, has become very large. Moreover, Xiaohu's current hunting skills are no longer the little tiger that could only catch rabbits in the past.

Xiaohu was lying on the bed, and Murong Jing lay on Xiaohu's body.

【It's hard for you too...】

"Xiao Jing, why, why do you always sleep..." Murong Jing plucked at the fur on Xiaohu's stomach, "You sleep longer and longer every time... This time, you actually slept for a year."

【I don't know, if I knew what was going on, I wouldn't... I wouldn't...】

"Hey, anyway, when you wake up this time, you have to have a good talk with me."

【must! 】

This time Xiaojing woke up but only persisted for a month, and a month later, Xiaojing fell into a deep sleep again.

Xiao Jing fell into a deep sleep, and Murong Jing's mood became worse and worse, and she became less and less talkative, but the traps for those who did not give up on poaching in the mountains became more ruthless.

For a while, no one around Jishan dared to go up the mountain.

It was two years in a blink of an eye.
