C26 Sneaking away a Half-life

"Whiz!" A cold light flashed past. A black and gray hare that was searching for food in the warm afternoon sun fell head first into the grass. A four inch long willow leaf throwing knife was stuck in its head.

"Wah!" "My sister is so powerful!" Gongsun Rui exclaimed in shock, looking at Hua Chan beside her with eyes of worship.

Liu Ninger blinked her eyes, her small mouth agape.

Hua Chan smiled and walked over to retrieve her throwing knife. She then picked up the rabbit and returned.

The three of them were in a meadow not far from Changli County. A few miles away, there was a river that was covered with a thin layer of ice. Around the meadow, Gongsun Yi led more than a hundred cavalrymen to scatter in a fan shape, protecting them in the distance.

Three days ago, Hou Yue brought Gongsun Rui and Liu Ninger to Changli. After the two girls got to know Hua Chan, they quickly became as close as sisters. Gongsun Rui knew that Hua Chan was good at hunting, so she dragged her out of the city to hunt. Gongsun Yi brought some people to escort them out of the city and came to this meadow — there were many small prey, but no dangerous beasts appeared. Gongsun Yi thought that this place was most suitable for the ladies to play with.

Liu Ninger looked at the dead rabbit in Hua Chan's hand and quietly took a step back.

However, Gongsun Rui took the rabbit and carefully examined the wound on its head. Looking at Hua Chan, she asked, "Sister, can you teach me?"

"Sure." Hua Chan agreed and then frowned. "Sister, you've thought about it. Practicing martial arts is very tiring. It's called training in the winter and training in the summer. You have to get up early and train hard every day. I'm afraid sister won't be able to persevere."

Hearing that, Gongsun Rui hesitated, then looked at Liu Ninger. "Ning'er, would you like to learn together?"

"No!" Liu Ninger shook her head like a rattle drum. "Daddy said that martial artists have rough skin, and their hands are full of calluses. They will turn ugly!"

"Is that so?" Gongsun Rui was surprised, and quickly grabbed Hua Chan's hand to look at it. As expected, there were calluses on both her palms, so she shook her head in frustration. I'm not afraid of hard work, but it's bad if I get ugly! Ah, Sister Chan, don't be angry, I'm not saying you're ugly! You are the most beautiful! "

"It's just a small matter, what need is there to be angry?" Hua Chan smiled without the slightest hint of displeasure. She was only about one and a half years older than Gongsun Rui, who was only 15 and a half years old. However, she had been travelling with Hua Tuo all year round, and her experience and magnanimity couldn't be compared with Gongsun Rui.

"Sister is so generous." Gongsun Rui smiled sweetly and waved the rabbit. "How about we roast this rabbit?"

Hua Chan shook her head, "How can one be enough to eat! Go and fight a few more. "

"Sure, sure!" Gongsun Rui shouted happily, jumped up and waved towards Gongsun Yi, "Xiao Yi, come over here."

Gongsun Yi quickly ran over, jumped down from the horse and asked: "What do you need, Young Miss?"

"Get someone to go back and get some seasonings. We want to roast the rabbit."

"Here." Just as Gongsun Yi was about to leave, he suddenly had an inspiration as he looked at the river in the distance, "Miss, do you want to catch a few more fish?"

"That's even better!" Gongsun Rui was very happy. She patted Gongsun Yi on the back and shouted: "Go quickly! See if you have caught more fish or if Sister Chan has hunted more prey. "

"Hehe, how dare I compare myself to Miss Hua? If I lose, then it's fine, but if I win, Commander Zilong will chase after me to fight it out! "

Hua Chan blushed when she heard that. She glared at Gongsun Yi fiercely, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

When Hua Tuo and Hou Yue were chatting the other day, they asked Hou Yue to be the matchmaker and betroth their granddaughter Hua Chan to Zhao Yun. Hou Yue happily agreed. After Hua Tuo left, she immediately called Wu Tie to share the matter.

Zhao Yun already had a good impression of Hua Chan that day, and since she was also the marquis' wife's personal bodyguard, he agreed to it at once. However, he suggested that his elder brother Zhao Feng make the final decision. Hou Yue did things swiftly and decisively. She immediately sent someone back to Ji County to deliver a letter to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng's reply came last night. He was already worried that Zhao Yun was 21 years old and hadn't gotten married yet. How could he object to such a good thing? As such, the letter said that he would leave it up to the marquis' wife to decide, and that he could just wait for her to come and hire him. Thus, the matter was settled and soon spread. That was why Gongsun Yi dared to say those words without any obstruction.

"Sister Xi Chan is shy." Gongsun Rui covered her mouth and snickered, waved her hand and said: "Xiao Yi, go quickly!"

Gongsun Yi chuckled and quickly rode away.

"Wait!" Gongsun Rui suddenly shouted.

Gongsun Yi reined the reins, turned around and asked loudly, "Is there anything else, Miss?"

"The weather is very warm today, big brother is going to get moldy lying in bed all day! You tell the person who went back to get the seasonings to tell Big Brother, tell him to come out and have some fun as well, so that he can relax. " After saying that, Gongsun Rui looked at Hua Chan before smiling, "If there's nothing else, please ask Zhao Academy Officer to come along as well."

With a blushing face, Hua Chan lightly patted Gongsun Rui's back.

"As per young mistress's orders, this lowly general will be going now!" Gongsun Yi joked as he galloped his horse towards his companions.

Gongsun Rui pulled Hua Chan along. "Sister Chan, let's continue hunting!"

"Sure. This is for you to use. " Hua Chan took out a small and exquisite hand crossbow from her leather pouch and handed it to Gongsun Rui.

Gongsun Rui was overjoyed. "This is a good thing! With this, I'll definitely be able to hunt down prey. "Ning, son, let's take turns hunting here."

"I don't want it!" Liu Ninger pouted. "I don't dare to kill him!"

"Humph!" If you don't dare to kill, then how can you dare to eat meat? "

"It's not like I was the one who killed the meat!"

"What's the difference?" Eating flesh is the same as killing a living person! "

"Rui Er, aren't you trying to force the truth out of you?"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing! Look, there's a stupid deer over there! "

"Wah!" "Don't let it get away."

The three girls muttered to themselves as they walked into the depths of the meadow.

Gongsun Yi waved his hand and the group of people followed him from a distance.

Half an hour later, Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Jia arrived at the reeds and grass meadow in a carriage with more than fifty guards.

"Big brother, let's see, are we strong?" As soon as Gongsun Xu was helped out of the carriage by Gongsun Jia, Gongsun Rui jumped over and hugged his arm, pointing at a bunch of prey while showing off.

A deer, seven or eight hare and a few bony birds, a few large fish a foot or two long.

Gongsun Xu laughed loudly: "You're really amazing! But it shouldn't have anything to do with you, right? "

"Humph!" How boring! Ignore you! " Gongsun Rui said in annoyance. She threw Gongsun Xu's arms with force, turned around and walked to Hua Chan's side.

Hua Chan and Zhao Yun looked at each other lovingly before quickly turning their heads away with a gentle smile on their lips.

Gongsun Xu couldn't help but grit his teeth, the wound on his arm was not completely healed.

Liu Ninger rolled her eyes at Gongsun Rui. She walked over quickly to support Gongsun Xu and asked gently, "Brother Xu, does the wound hurt again?"

"It's fine, it's almost done." Gongsun Xu smiled and patted the back of Liu Ninger's soft hand. He really liked this gentle and amiable girl, but at this moment, he didn't know that Liu Ninger was already his.

Liu Ninger's face was slightly red, but she did not let go of Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Rui took the opportunity when Gongsun Xu was looking into the distant meadow to secretly make a face at Liu Ninger. She even used her fingers to scratch her face a few times. Liu Ninger's face turned even redder. She glared at Gongsun Rui, but kept her arm around Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Jia took a few men with him to the river to clean up, while Gongsun Yi brought a pile of dried twigs and dried wood for a barbecue. At this moment, the warm sun was high in the sky, a gentle breeze blew across his face, and the fragrance of withered grass lingered by his nose. As expected, it was a peaceful and beautiful day for him to travel.

Gongsun Xu looked at Zhao Yun and asked with a smile, "Zi Long, you've never played like this before right?"

Zhao Yun laughed awkwardly: "Never! Previously, when I was at home, I was either practicing martial arts or hunting in the mountains to support my family, so I didn't have much time to spare. "After entering the army, they rarely leave the military camp."

Gongsun Xu sighed. No matter if it was before his rebirth or now, wasn't he always busy? However, when he was alive, he had been busy as a mercenary for the sake of money. Now, he was busy for the sake of establishing his own merits and fighting for supremacy in this world.

Liu Ninger was keenly aware of the change in Gongsun Xu's mood and asked softly, "Brother Xu, are you in a bad mood?"

"A little." Gongsun Xu didn't mind. He then said mysteriously, "However, if Ning'er is willing to help me, my mood will be a lot better."

"I'll do whatever Brother Xu wants me to do!" Liu Ninger blinked her eyes, a resolute look on her face.

Gongsun Xu felt embarrassed to see her like this and laughed, "Haha, don't be so nervous! It's not like I'm asking you to climb the mountain of blades or descend the sea of flames. "

Liu Ninger lowered her head and whispered, "If Brother Xu had said anything, Ning'er would be willing to climb the mountain of blades and descend the sea of flames!"

Gongsun Xu was surprised, his heart couldn't help but be shocked. In his previous life, it was the first time to meet such a girl who had such a deep affection for him! If he didn't cherish it, he would be punished by the heavens.

Liu Ninger asked nervously, "Brother Xu, what do you want Ning'er to do?"

Gongsun Xu suddenly wanted to tease Liu Ninger, so he chuckled and whispered, "Ning'er's smile has some sugar in it. If you smile more, my mood will be much better."

If these words were said in the future, it would be a little overstated. However, now that it was said, the heart of Liu Ninger, who already had a deep affection for Gongsun Xu, throbbed.

"Brother Xu!" Liu Ninger stomped her foot in a coquettish manner and revealed a big, sweet smile on her face.

Gongsun Rui and Hua Chan weren't able to hear this from a distance, but Zhao Yun, who was a few steps away with sharp ears, heard it. He was stunned, unable to believe that Gongsun Xu could say such words. It took him quite a while to come back to his senses. He secretly gave Gongsun Xu a thumbs up. However, if he said the same thing to Hua Chan, he wouldn't be able to say it even if he was beaten to death!

Before Gongsun Xu's injury could recover, Liu Ninger went to the carriage and brought out a thick blanket. She spread it on the ground and helped Gongsun Xu sit down. She ran to Gongsun Rui and Hua Chan's side and started chatting happily.

Zhao Yun felt that it was unnecessary to stay here, so he picked up his bow and arrow and walked deeper into the meadow.

Not long later, the fire was already burning bright. Gongsun Jia also took the prey that he had prepared and put it on a stick to start roasting it.

The warm sun made Gongsun Xu drowsy. As he looked at the roasted food on the fire, he couldn't help but blurt out a familiar poem: "Stealing for half a day!"

(As a result of the well-known cleaning up, the author's description of the emotional drama can only be abbreviated, please forgive me.)
