After chatting, Linglong felt that the atmosphere was harmonious and it was the right time. If she raised it at this time, he would definitely agree, so she said, "Can you catch the wild pigeon?"
Qingshan asked "Wild pigeon?"
Linglong nodded, "I want a wild pigeon!"
Qingshan said, "What's the problem? It's all in your belly."
Linglong frowned, "In my... belly..."
Linglong looked at the pile of bones and asked, "Is this a wild pigeon?"
"Yes! Turtle dove, also called wild pigeon."
"Oops!!" Linglong was annoyed. If she didn't eat, she could start training... The next time she is caught, it depends on her luck. I don't know when.
"Can you still catch a wild pigeon?"
Under the firelight, the two of them were sweating. She had a blushing face. She was too close. Qingshan was a little confused. He pinched her little face and asked, "Do you like to eat?"
Linglong wiped her face hard, "You have oil on your hands!"
Not scolding him for being rude, but scolding him for having oily hands. Qingshan said softly, "I'll catch him tomorrow."
Linglong was afraid that he would shoot the wild pigeon to death with one arrow, so what would be the use of that! Although...it's quite fragrant.
She didn't want to explicitly say that she wanted to train carrier pigeons to deliver messages to her father, the emperor, and her queen.
She could feel that Qingshan sincerely wanted her to stay. Therefore, if she wanted to contact her father, the emperor, and her queen, she had to carry Qingshan on her back.
…
How can we tactfully let him catch her alive?
She rolled her little eyes and said softly, "Qingshan, I also want to go to the mountains. Take me with you tomorrow! Let me see your ability to catch birds and beasts alive!"
Qingshan was happy to show off his strength in front of the beauty, but look at her feet, "These feet are much better, but the mountain road is far away. Even if you are better, it is still too far for you. Not to mention that you are not good yet."
Linglong begged softly, "I want to go! I want to bathe in the spring in the mountains!" He couldn't do it for this reason, and he couldn't do it without taking her with him.
Qingshan thought for a moment, "Okay, in the worst case, I'll hold you."
Linglong lowered her eyes, a little ashamed, as if she was deliberately trying to seduce others, but she really couldn't follow her without hugging her. After holding it in for a long time, I finally said, "Yeah."
The two of them decided to take a bath and go to bed separately.
…
Tonight, Qingshan didn't ask, he just took out the animal skin from the cabinet and spread it on the floor. It was the first time, and it would be easy to talk about later. Linglong didn't force him to chase him away. The two of them slept in the same room, each with their own thoughts, and they were in a daze. Every day dawns.
…
Qingshan tied up the four corners of a square cloth and packed some steamed buns, pickles, boiled eggs, and water bladders. He just missed a few interesting things. He had everything in his space.
The two drank porridge in the morning and set off.
First it was a flat road, and Linglong walked with a cane. When it reached a slightly sloped place, Qingshan had to hold on to his left hand and the cane to support his right hand.
She didn't complain about being tired, she pursed her lips and persisted silently.
When we arrived at a place with dense trees, the weeds were almost as tall as Linglong. The grass snakes jumped out when they asked, and Linglong was so frightened that she ran into Qingshan's arms.
Qingshan grabbed her, lifted her up, and lifted her upright. Linglong's upper body lay on his shoulder, and he carried her on his shoulder.
He patted her: "What are you afraid of? We are still eight feet away!"
Linglong's calves kicked straight up, "My head fell down!"
Qingshan pulled her off his shoulders by his legs and held her in his arms. "What about this time? Is it safe and comfortable?"
Linglong covered her face with her hands, and he pulled her legs back and forth on the hard muscles. He almost touched her all over her body, and she complained "rude."
Qingshan shook his head, "Obviously you insisted on coming here! It's great to play with ink at home! In this mountain, there are mosquitoes, plague, jackals, tigers and leopards, it's hot and tiring! What are you trying to do?"
Linglong was afraid that he would realize that she was here to watch him catch wild pigeons alive, so she quickly changed the topic, "Of course it's to bathe in the mountain spring!"
Qingshan sighed, "It's really strange! The river water at home is not good, and the mountain spring water that took so much effort to see is just fine!"
Anyway, she is a charming princess, so she is naturally different from others, so just let her be.
…
After walking for another half an hour, we really reached the deep mountains and old forests.
Qingshan asked Linglong to keep quiet, as there could be wild beasts appearing around here at any time.
If it was just for hunting, he would not go deep with Linglong.
If you want to take a mountain bath, you have to go deep.
Having just killed a wolf yesterday, he was so confident that he looked down upon the beasts in the mountains. In addition, Linglong's sweet little face begged him softly, and he couldn't resist it at all, so he actually agreed.
At this time, he carried Linglong into the mountains and felt a chill all over his body.
She shouldn't have been brought here.
Once a ferocious beast attacks, it will be difficult to escape while holding Linglong, so he becomes vigilant.
Fortunately, I had good luck today, and everything went smoothly until we reached the mountain spring.
…
Linglong was so happy when she saw the clear and transparent mountain spring. The water from the mountain spring was still flowing out, forming a high water column.
She leaned over the water column and stretched out her pink tongue to take a sip. The spring water was so sweet! Still clean and transparent!
Seeing that she was happy, Qingshan found a big stone nearby, sat down with his back to her, "You go ahead and wash it."
Linglong looked at the pool of water and said, "I washed it, but you can't drink the water in this pool."
Qingshan cheered, "You think too much! No one comes to draw water from such a deep mountain! You are the only one in the village who drinks it."
Every time I fetch water for you, I get water from the water column, which is new water that has just emerged from the ground. If you don't use the ones in the pool, they will be dried in the sun. Just wash it. "
Linglong then took off her red dress and jumped into the spring pool. The spring water was warmed by the sun. The pool was not deep and reached Linglong's thighs.
Linglong sat down with her shoulders exposed, which was perfect for taking a bath. It was so comfortable.
She touched the bottom of her buttocks. It was a slippery rock bottom, and she didn't know if it was clean or not. Anyway, the spring water looked clear and transparent.
She took a dip in the spring water and soaked comfortably for a long time, and almost fell asleep.
…
Qingshan listened with his ears pricked, worried that some wild beast would come out of the grass nearby and scare Linglong.
Surprisingly, it didn’t come from the grass, but came from the sky.
An eagle swooped down and fiercely thrust its claws at the mountain spring pool.
Linglong felt something hit her head. She had experienced the earth shattering, and her natural tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages made her react extraordinarily sharply. She lay back and fell into the water.
She watched as the eagle's claws grabbed a handful in the water, but failed to catch her. She was lying on the bottom of the pool holding her breath.
The world suddenly became quiet. There was no sound of rustling leaves in the wind, no chirping of insects and birds, and no sound of breathing like a strong wind on the green hills.
Qingshan took out the knife from his back and was about to chop the eagle, but it was not as fast as the eagle.
When he jumped closer, the eagle had risen from the water and was hovering in the air.
He shouted angrily, "Get out!"...
The eagle had some experience, and seemed to know that Qingshan was bluffing at this moment, so it dived towards Qingshan again. Great speed, great power.
The chance to win with one blow is only one second.
Qingshan calculated the right moment and swung the long sword.
Unfortunately, one hit missed.
It was still too early to take action. In 0.1 seconds, the eagle's claws would catch Qingshan's scalp, and this claw would be able to lift the skull.
