Chapter 250: Chapter 169 Hunting_1

The young masters didn’t enter the house, but sat down in the courtyard. After Qian Yixiu led Zi Zhu to pour tea and place some pastries on the table, Liang Jinzhao smiled and said, "We were thinking of going hunting in the mountains today..."

"Isn’t it said that her family has a White Wolf, and the wolf’s pups? How come we only see a monkey, but no wolf or wolf dogs?" General Xiao Li, sturdy in build, interjected impatiently.

Qian Yixiu replied, "The White Wolf didn’t come down from the mountains, but Dashan, Benben, and Tiaotiao are all at home. They are taking a stroll in the main courtyard." After saying this, she asked Zi Zhu to go to the main courtyard and call the three dogs over.

The young masters felt a hint of disappointment upon hearing that the White Wolf was not around. But when they saw the strong and handsome Benben and Tiaotiao, as well as the ugly but robust and fierce Dashan, their interest was piqued. All of them rubbed their hands in anticipation, excited by the prospect of hunting in the mountains with the wolf’s descendants and their wives; maybe it would be a different experience from their usual hunts.

Qian Sangui, noticing that all these young masters were young, with the oldest two Junior Generals not even seventeen, worried about them encountering trouble. He suggested, "My son-in-law is a Hunter, well-acquainted with the mountain terrain. Let him lead you into the mountains, and perhaps you’ll have a better haul."

Upon hearing this, General Xiaohuo, rather lean in figure, said impatiently, "Then what are you blabbering about? Go call him quickly."

Frightened by his reaction, Qian Sangui quickly motioned for Su Siwu to run to Darong Village and fetch Wan Dazhong.

Liang Jinzhao frowned uncomfortably and glanced at General Xiaohuo, saying, "If you’re in such a hurry, why don’t you go ahead? This young master is in no rush." He then addressed the startled Qian Sangui, "Uncle, please take a seat."

General Xiaohuo hurriedly chuckled and said, "I’m not in a rush; I was just saying." His attitude suddenly didn’t seem as arrogant as before.

Soon, Wan Dazhong arrived, panting, and said, "If you don’t ride horses, you can walk through the back of Xijing Mountain. There are plenty of wild animals there, including wild boars, bears, tigers, wolves, and the like. But it will take a long time, at least two or three days. If you ride horses, you can pass over the big burial mounds, where the terrain is gentle, but the vegetation is sparse, mostly small creatures like wild rabbits and pheasants. If you’re lucky, you might encounter larger game like wild boars or deer."

After some discussion, the young masters decided that walking would take too long, so they chose to ride horses with the House of Animals, significantly increasing their chances of finding game.

It was already the Si Hour, and no matter how quickly they moved, they would return only in the evening. They would stay here for the night and return to the provincial capital tomorrow.

Qian Sangui then asked Lady Wu and Lady He to prepare some water skins and food for them to take on the road.

Everyone except for the Little Monk and Zhang Yang mounted their horses and rode toward the direction of the big burial mounds. Wan Dazhong rode a boy servant’s horse, leading Dashan, Benben, and Tiaotiao at the front of the pack.

The Monkey Brother stayed home to accompany the Little Monk since the Little Monk had come. The Monkey Brother knew how to act spoiled, clinging to the Little Monk’s embrace without coming down.

Ever since the talk of hunting began, the Little Monk had taken the Monkey Brother to one side and continuously chanted, "Amitabha, what sins, what sins... Amitabha, what sins, what sins..."

He chanted until the others had left, and then he fell silent. Qian Yixiu smiled and handed him a bowl of water, "Little Master, your mouth must be dry from all that chanting, right?"

The Little Monk smiled and took the bowl, drinking it all in one gulp.

When everyone had left, Cheng Yue came out from the east wing. She wasn’t afraid of Zhang Yang and even flashed him a slight smile.

Zhang Yang nodded and smiled back, "Sister-in-law Qian."

Seeing Cheng Yue come out, the Little Monk smiled and went over to tug at her skirt, saying, "Auntie, Poor Monk missed you."

Cheng Yue, her eyes smiling, said, "Auntie missed you too."

She led the Little Monk to sit under a jujube tree as if leading a son, and the Little Monk acted spoiled with Cheng Yue just as a son would. Their playful calls of "Auntie" and "Poor Monk" to each other were quite amusing.

The jujube tree was laden with green and red fruits, their rich sweet fragrance occasionally made the Little Monk look up. Cheng Yue rose to pluck some red jujubes, cleaned them with a handkerchief, and fed them into the mouth of the Little Monk.

The Little Monk savored the jujubes with unbound sweetness, his gaze filled with joy and adoration towards Cheng Yue. He held onto her skirt and seemed unwilling to let go.

Feeling a little jealous, Qian Yixiu playfully said, "Mother, Yixiu is here too. Yixiu wants some as well."

Cheng Yue chuckled and fed her daughter some more jujubes.

Seeing Qian Yixiu acting jealous, the Little Monk laughed even more joyfully.

Before long, Qian Yeejin was called back by Su Siwu. After greeting Zhang Yang, he joined the Little Monk for a chat.

The two boys chatted away cheerfully, while Cheng Yue sat quietly watching them from the side.

Zhang Yang had just finished checking Qian Sangui’s pulse under the eaves of the house, informing him that his health had improved a lot and this winter would be better than previous ones. This made Qian Sangui and Lady Wu very happy.
