"Send money to find someone to go hunting in the mountains?" This was the first time Su Yizhao had heard of such a thing, so it sounded strange.
"Yeah! Don't you think it's strange too? Anyway, I can give you a lot of money, and it doesn't matter whether you catch wild animals or not."
The old man's face was full of doubts, but there was also a look of envy on his face.
"The eldest son of my family just didn't learn this skill and became a carpenter. Otherwise, his family would be able to benefit from it."
Su Yizhao listened to the old man's emotion and suddenly thought of Ahua.
Since these people go up the mountain to hunt, will they encounter Ahua?
Su Yizhao became a little anxious as he was worried about Ah Hua's safety.
"Is it a generous move? Did your nephew find anything unusual?" Su Yizhao felt that there was a clue, so he wanted to ask for more information.
The old man shook his head and said, "That's not true. My nephew only went home once during the trip. He said that his master asked them to live in a village and be ready for their orders at any time. Then he gave the family ten taels of silver and left."
Huh? This request is even more strange, and Su Yizhao becomes more and more suspicious.
"He also said that the affairs of the master's family were not allowed to be told outside. Anyway, his words were mysterious, so the family was also worried. Before he left, he said that he would stay for a month or two. Although the family was worried, the master's family was worried.
The offer is so much that it’s hard to refuse.”
Su Yizhao was silent for a long time, and then said to the old man: "You didn't tell anyone else about this, right?"
"No! I think it's a little strange, but my nephew said that he is not allowed to tell anyone, only those close to him will know."
As he spoke, he became a little worried, "Could it be for some purpose? How can there be such a good thing in this world?"
"Is it just him, or are there many people there?" Su Yizhao asked again.
"It is said that there are five or six of them, and they are all good hunters."
"You must not tell others about this matter. The more mysterious the matter, the more secretive it is. As for your nephew, you don't need to worry. He will come back naturally when the time comes."
Su Yizhao persuaded the old man, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could that person be the fifth prince? But the fifth prince must act secretly, so wouldn't it be very high-profile?
Wouldn't it arouse suspicion if he went up the mountain many times and brought so many people with him?
Even the old man saw that something was wrong. Su Yizhao was more inclined to look for something in the mountains.
But what can be found in the mountains? Herbs? Treasures?
She was suddenly inspired and thought of military training in the mountains. Fuyan Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and no one would know about military training in the mountains.
But if it's military training, shouldn't it be done secretly? Why is it so high-profile? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?
Is there really a treasure in the mountain? Su Yizhao thought that she had obtained the treasure from the mountain and had storage space. Could it be that it was a treasure left by some immortal cultivator that she had not encountered before?
I still can't figure out the fifth prince's intention. Anyway, I have to go up the mountain later, so why not ask Ahua.
"Hey! The young master is well-informed and must be more knowledgeable than this little old man like me. I have only told you this matter, and it will be rotten in my stomach in the future, and I will not dare to say more to others."
Fuyan Mountain arrived soon. After Su Yizhao got off the car, he said to the old man: "It's still Shenshi, come here and wait for me. Isn't there a saponaria tree on the way we came? Just stop there and don't come this way.
.”
Su Yizhao was afraid that he would meet the Fifth Prince and his group, and he didn't know if this group of people had gone up the mountain, so it was better to be careful.
It is easy for her to hide and escape by herself, but it is difficult for her to take her old man with her.
If they ruined the fifth prince's affairs, she didn't think the fifth prince would let them go.
He took out one tael of silver coins and put it into the old man's hand, "When you come back again, I will give you another tael."
Based on the news that the old man gave her just now, this little bit is not much.
"This? It's too much!" The old man wanted to refuse, but Su Yizhao couldn't help but put it into his hand, then turned and walked up the mountain.
The old man glanced at Su Yizhao's back, then shook his head and said, "He's not an ordinary person either."
"When he said that, I think the mountain is quite dangerous?"
As soon as he saw no one, the lovesickness came out of his sleeves, climbed onto Su Yizhao's shoulders and said.
"It has nothing to do with us when people hunt other people's prey." Su Yizhao replied casually.
"I'm not saying that we are in danger, I'm talking about A-hua and the others. There are so many people, and I don't know if A-hua has managed to hide."
Xiangsi also has a revolutionary friendship with A-hua, but is still worried about A-hua.
Su Yizhao walked to the foot of the mountain and sat on the original big rock. He took out a bamboo whistle from his arms, blew it three times, and waited here quietly.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Su Yizhao couldn't help but become worried.
Taking out the bamboo whistle and blowing it three more times, Su Yizhao walked back and forth anxiously.
She didn't dare to blow too loudly. If there was someone on the mountain and someone found out and thought it was a secret signal, it would attract attention.
After waiting for a while, just when Su Yizhao wanted to climb up the mountain to find Ahua and the others, there was sudden movement in the grass.
Su Yizhao looked over in surprise and saw a small spotted leopard sticking its head out from the grass.
She was stunned, this was not Ah Hua.
Then the movement in the grass became a little louder, and a fit and strong figure walked out of the grass.
Su Yizhao hurriedly stepped forward and said happily: "Ah Hua!"
When Ahua saw Su Yizhao, although there was no expression on the leopard's face, Su Yizhao still saw surprise in its eyes.
"Is it you? You're finally here." Ahua felt that she hadn't seen this person for so long that it was almost forgotten.
Su Yizhao wanted to reminisce with it, but saw the little leopard walking out of the grass and lying down next to Ahua.
"Is this your child?" Su Yizhao was very happy, and Ahua was finally no longer alone.
Ahua nodded, "Yes! Give it a name!"
Su Yizhao saw that the little leopard was very cute. He was looking at her with his head tilted and his eyes were a little timid, but he was round and very cute, so he named him "Xiao Zhuang".
Because of this name, Xiangsi laughed so hard on Su Yizhao's shoulder that she almost fell off.
"By the way, where is Xiaoqing?" Su Yizhao then remembered that Xiaoqing was not here, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Xiaoqing died. He came to me before he died and said he missed you very much, but he couldn't wait for you to come find him. After he died, I dug a hole for him and buried him."
Ah Hua knew that after death, humans would dig a hole and bury it, so she also dug one for Xiao Qing, and at least they had some friendship.
Su Yizhao's eyes instantly became wet. She didn't expect Xiaoqing to die so soon.
With tears in her eyes, she stepped forward and touched Ahua's smooth back. After leaving this time, she might not return to Beiyuan Mansion for a long time.
She felt infinitely sad when she thought that she might never see Ah Hua again.
Xiaoqing and Lady Qing left one after another, making Su Yizhao feel the separation between life and death.
Ahua didn't have such complicated emotions, but she knew that Su Yizhao was feeling very uncomfortable, so she patted Su Yizhao on the shoulder.
