If you rely on mountains, you can eat mountains; if you rely on water, you can eat water.

When we arrived in Miyun, it was no exception.

Before dinner, Shu Shu tasted Miyun’s specialties.

Chestnuts are roasted, small in size, but extremely sweet, so they are called sweet chestnuts.

Walnuts are delicious, the walnut meat is plump, snow-white, and rich in oil.

There are also golden jujubes and persimmons.

Maybe it's because of the big temperature difference in the mountains, but I always feel that these two dishes are more delicious than those in the capital.

Brother Ninth doesn't like snacks very much. He ate half a walnut but stopped eating a chestnut.

Shu Shu told Xiaotang: "Chicken stewed with chestnuts, spinach mixed with walnuts, jujubes mixed with yam to make shredded noodles, and persimmons mixed with glutinous rice flour to make fried persimmon cakes."

Xiaotang went down to prepare.

The spinach was picked from the greenhouse the day before yesterday, and today is also the last meal.

The couple brought seven to eighty people with them, and they were not in the mood to eat alone, so they ate just a few baskets of vegetables for two and a half days.

At dusk, before dinner was served, Xiaosong and others went up the mountain to follow the black bear's tracks in the spring forest.

Both of them looked unhappy.

"Fu Jin, Master Jiu, we encountered black bear excrement on the road. There were broken bones in it, which looked like human bones..."

Brother Jiu was startled.

Shu Shu was also stunned.

She also thought that the black bears were preparing for hibernation and that there were not enough prey in the mountains, so they wanted to go down the mountains to harm domestic animals.

Brother Nine bared his teeth and said, "Could it be that he is too fierce and wants to hurt others?"

Wild beasts that eat people are a disaster, but he is a little timid, fearing casualties.

Shu Shu thought about the people who came out to bring him this time, not including Walnut, Xiaotang, He Yuzhu and others, not counting the several kitchen masters and rough eunuchs, not counting the two officials, an imperial doctor and their little

There are about sixty young men and women accompanying me.

Black bears are solitary animals and only stay together during the breeding season.

Right now, there should be only one adult black bear on the mountain.

It shouldn't be a problem for so many people to hunt a black bear.

It is better than letting scattered mountain people encounter black bears on their own.

But don't worry about this bear's paw, it's so disgusting.

It's just to eliminate harm for the people.

Although Brother Jiu was a little worried, he also made a decision. He looked at Shu Shu and said, "Then let's go up the mountain tomorrow morning to avoid that beast from ruining people again."

Shu Shu nodded.

Now that you have encountered it and you still have the energy to spare, you must take care of it.

In the evening, everyone had dinner and went to bed early to recharge their batteries.

Howlings could be heard in the distance outside, very obvious in the stillness of the midnight night.

Shu Shu and Brother Jiu shared a quilt, and the two of them brought a large quilt with a length of seven and a half feet.

Brother Jiu hugged Shu Shu's arm and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just to scare people. There are so many of us, and they don't dare to come."

"Well, I'm not afraid!"

Shu Shu responded.

In addition to bears, there are also wolves here.

This is the howl of a wolf.

But that’s normal. Miyun is not very developed right now and is considered a wilderness.

Wolves are different from bears. Bears eat human flesh and hunt humans.

When it comes to wolves, because of their size, they don't regard humans as food.

It should be nocturnal, howling at the moon, right?

Another thing to be afraid of is the wild boar.

That's gregarious.

I hope I won’t encounter them when I go up the mountain tomorrow.

But with everyone’s enthusiasm, if we really meet him, I guess it will be a snack.

A night of silence.

On the second day, everyone got up early.

The steamed meat buns were eaten by everyone.

The bear goes out to hunt during the day, so everyone needs to surround and kill it before it leaves its den.

Shu Shu changed into riding clothes and boots. She did not wear hairpins on her head but wore her hair in a bun. She looked very smart and simple.

Xiao Song came out with a bow and quiver, which was different from the bow and arrow he usually practiced at home.

Brother Jiu coughed twice, picked up the bow, and tried to pull it open.

Didn't pull...

This is the Ten Power Bow.

The arrows in the quiver are also thicker than usual, as thick as a thumb, and the arrows have blood grooves.

Brother Jiu looked at it, a little worried, and looked at Shu Shu, wanting to persuade him.

But Shu Shu went up the mountain to accompany herself.

He hesitated.

This is hunting, Shu Shu has been talking about it for a long time, and it would be too disappointing to talk about it.

With so many people, how could she be hurt?

Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and hesitated.

Since we are facing off against wild beasts, who knows what will happen.

Brother Ninth's so-called leadership is more like a burden.

At that time, some manpower will be allocated to protect Brother Ninth.

But Brother Ninth wants to "give my respects", and he is the head of the family. If he is too nervous, it will look like he is being disrespectful.

What will the guards and soldiers below think about it then?

Do you think that Brother Jiu is a little less courageous and you despise him in your heart?

With so many guards around, as well as myself and Xiao Song, how could I protect Brother Jiu?

Both husband and wife think about each other and hide their worries.

Brother Jiu also changed his riding clothes. He knew his shortcomings and did not take a bow and arrow. Instead, he asked He Yuzhu to take out his sword and dagger.

His strength was ordinary, but this knife was a sharp Gurkha knife, the sharpest among the Gurkha knives Shu Shu bought in Suzhou last year.

There is also a second sharp one on Shu Shu's waist.

The people in the yard who were going up the mountain were already ready, waiting for the two of them to come out.

In addition to the dozen or so guards who stayed behind to guard the palace, the remaining fifty young men followed Jiu Age and Shu Shu up the mountain.

Xiaosong's left and right back arches are not only Shushu's, but also her own.

Zhang Tingzhan and Cao Yueying stood nearby, feeling uncertain.

If you want to hunt bears, just hunt bears. Why do you need Brother Jiu to lead the team himself?

Don’t you have any idea?!

This is not the time to show off!

Isn't it rare that one general is incompetent and an entire army is exhausted?

Their eyes couldn't help but fall on Brother Jiu.

Shu Shu has a heroic appearance, but they can't appreciate it.

Even though they had heard that Fujin was a tiger girl, in their opinion, this matter was not appropriate.

If you really want to be virtuous, you should stop Brother Jiu instead of following along with him.

The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall.

It's just that everyone is getting ready in front of them, it's not the time for them to be forced to stay around, which will affect their morale.
