Chapter 194: Interesting
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Su Ying opened her eyes again, it was already very bright outside.
Now, the sky became dark earlier and brightened much later in the morning. When the sky was so bright, it was at least 8 am.
Su Ying flipped over and sat up. She realized that the two little fellows and Xiao Jin were no longer in the room. She vaguely saw them get up and leave the room, but she only muttered a few words to the two little fellows before falling asleep again.
Su Ying lifted the blanket and got up. After putting on her clothes, she opened the door to go out, but she was a.s.sailed by the freezing wind that made her s.h.i.+ver.
The weather was getting colder and colder. She had to get the guys to dig more pits and make more charcoal. Otherwise, the snow would fall before they made enough charcoal.
“Mistress, you are awake. Uncle Hea made some mixed-grain and vegetable buns today. I will bring them over for you, Mistress.” Lin Zhuyu, who was doing sewing work in the room next door, put down her needlework and prepared to leave the room the moment she saw Su Ying.
“No need,” Su Ying said. “Carry on with your work. 1’11 go to the back of the house to take a look myself.”
After Lin Zhuyu and the others finished making the cotton-padded coats, they were now making winter shoes. To ensure that their feet did not freeze, they had to sew cotton padding into the shoes. The fur of the rabbits that Su Ying had previously caught had also been processed and taken out so that they could make a few more pairs of shoes for the children.
Su Ying walked into the kitchen and saw Hea Shouyi and Murong De kneading dough. The entire kitchen had been taken over by the two of them. Although the work was tiring, the two old friends were extremely happy as they busied themselves.
“Uncle Hea, Uncle Murong, what delicious food have you prepared for breakfast?”
Hea Shouyi stood up in front of the stove. “Mistress, you are up. I have heated up some buns for you. Take them quickly and eat.” He opened the lid of the pot, and there were about a dozen steaming mixed-grain buns inside.
Su Ying was already hungry after sleeping for so long. She quickly took the bun and thanked him. “Thankyou, Uncle Hea.”
Su Ying didn’t go anywhere else. Instead, she took a small stool and sat in front of the stove, inhaling the fragrance wafting out of the pot. She couldn’t resist taking a big bite of the bun in her hand.
“Uncle Murong, what are you cooking in this pot that smells so good?”
Murong De was kneading dough when he heard that and he replied with a smile, “It’s a soup made from dried beef. If 1 use the dried beef to boil soup a little longer after the beef slices are dried, the fragrance will be stronger than using fresh beef.”
Su Ying recalled the bisons in her interspatial store. They had almost finished the beef they processed previously, so it was time to get some more out to prepare for winter.
“If Mistress wants to eat, I’ll scoop out a bowl for you to have a taste. After downing one bowl, I guarantee that your body will become warm.”
“Alright.”
Murong De laughed heartily as he scooped a big bowl for her.
Su Ying took a sip of the beef soup with every bite of the bun. By the time she finished eating, her whole body was sweating.
“Delicious.”
“Where are you going later, Mistress?”
“I’ll go into the mountains and see if I can catch any more prey before the weather turns cold,” Su Ying said as she stood up.
“The wild beasts are ravenous in the winter. Mistress, you have to be careful.” Murong De couldn’t help reminding her.
“Mm-hmm. I’ll be careful. I’m leaving now.”
After Su Ying went to the front yard to greet Bai Shuang and the others, she rode her horse to the back of the mountain.
The mountain behind the Tiger Base was not part of the Tiger Base’s territory. Before Su Ying reached the foot of the mountain, she realized that a defensive wall had already been set up. She did not expect Xiao Jin to be so efficient that he had already completed the defensive wall here.
She walked along the defensive wall and found an exit near the slope. There was a big lock on the wooden door of the exit.
Su Ying came to the door and looked around, only to see the bandit leader riding his horse in her direction.
“Mistress.”
The bandit leader dismounted after reaching Su Ying.
Su Ying also got off her horse. “Why are you here?”
“Mistress, Master asked me to patrol the exits nearby. The keys are with me.”
“Open this door for me. I want to go to the back mountain for a look.”
“Sure, Mistress.”
He took out the key and opened the door.
Su Ying was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something. “Then how do I get in?”
“Mistress, you can still come in from that side of the slope. The defense work over there hasn’t been completed yet. After it is completed in the future, Mistress can only use this door. Master said that he will have people guard this door every day from then on.”
Su Ying nodded. Xiao Jin had considered this aspect quite thoroughly.
“Alright. I’ll go off first. Close the door.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
Su Ying mounted her horse and headed toward the back of the mountain.
Now that the weather was cold, the wild vegetables and mushrooms near the foot of the mountain were gone. Even the small animals that she could still encounter in the past were gone.
After Su Ying reached the mountain, she put the horse into her interspatial store and walked all the way into the forest.
After making sure that there was no one around, she took out a detector from her interspatial store and began to look for traces of wild prey.
However, after walking one round, other than finding some small prey, she did not get anything else.
Just as Su Ying was about to return home, she noticed a red dot appearing on the device. Soon, the red dot began to spread out in all directions. Su Ying’s eyes lit up, and her eyes flickered with excitement.
“Good heavens. When there’s none, there’s not even a single big one, but when the big ones show up, a whole group of them appears in one go.”
Su Ying followed the direction of the dots. The further she pursued them, the more excited she became. d.a.m.n it! There were more and more red dots now!
As the red dots approached, Su Ying turned around and climbed up a big tree. She took out her binoculars and observed her surroundings.
Soon, she heard a commotion coming in her direction.
She looked through the binoculars and saw a herd of deer.
Deer were also social animals and liked to move in herds. Uncle Hea had said that eating deer in winter was a great source of nourishment.
Su Ying took out her tranquilizer gun but discovered that the herd of deer seemed to be in a panic as they dashed toward her. She wasn’t in a hurry to make a move, so she observed quietly.
Soon, she saw more than ten tigers hunting the deer herd.
The moment she saw the tigers, Su Ying’s eyes widened. She thought that the white tiger she had encountered on the road to exile was already a fairly good quality catch, but these tigers with black and yellow stripes were not inferior to the white tiger in terms of size at all. In terms of physique and mobility, this group appeared more lethal.
“Since they have delivered themselves to me on a silver platter, how can 1 not accept them?”
Su Ying raised the tranquilizer gun in her hand and aimed it at the biggest tiger leading the group. She then shot the tranquilizer dart out.
The tranquilizer dart pierced the tiger’s body, and the tiger fell to the ground after freezing up for a moment.
As she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take down these big guys, Su Ying had increased the drug dosage.
However, just as Su Ying was about to move on to the second tiger, the tiger that had been hit by the tranquilizer dart shook its body and slowly stood up from the ground. It looked extremely angry, and its pair of tiger eyes looked around warily as if it was looking for the person who had tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate it.
Roar!
It suddenly let out a furious roar and once again pounced at the deer that had been bitten by its companion. Although its movements were not as agile as before, it was still able to stand on its feet. This was already far beyond Su Ying’s expectations.
Su Ying verified once more the drug dosage of her tranquilizer dart. “To think that a dosage that can knock out an elephant can’t take you down. Interesting..”
