The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 171 Going down the mountainGu Bei noticed that Su Lun's face was a little pale and there was blood on his body. His face changed and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously: "Brother Su, are you okay? Are you hurt?" He looked at Su Lun with concern, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.
Su Lun shook his head slightly, revealed a faint smile, and replied: "It's okay, this blood is not mine. Since Brother Gu is here, why don't we take the tiger away." As he spoke, he pointed to the tiger's corpse on the ground.
Gu Bei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and the tense expression on his face gradually relaxed. He said, "I'm glad you're okay." He secretly felt lucky that Su Lun was not seriously injured. At the same time, he admired Su Lun's courage and strength.
Princess Yuehua also came over, looked Xiao An Ning up and down, and asked anxiously: "Aning, we heard the sound of the tiger just now and rushed here immediately. How are you? Are you injured?" She carefully examined Xiao An Ning's body, fearing to miss any wound.
Xiao Anning shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine. I didn't help much just now. It was General Su who saved me..." She looked at Su Lun gratefully, her heart full of admiration for him.
Princess Yuehua frowned and said in a reproachful manner: "That's a tiger...you are really a...if you encounter such danger in the future, you are not allowed to get close to it." She patted Xiao An Ning's shoulder gently, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her tone.
Hearing this, Gu Bei knocked on Xiao An Ning's head and said seriously: "Yes, Aning, next time you encounter such a situation, you must protect yourself first." He knew that Xiao An Ning was brave and kind, but sometimes being too impulsive would put himself in danger.
Xiao An Ning said unconvincedly: "Third brother, I can't just run away alone without doing anything, what kind of person would I be then?" She raised her head stubbornly, her eyes firm and persistent.
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile: "Does this make you think you are right?"
"That's how it is." Xiao An Ning muttered with his neck stiff.
Su Lun, who was standing by, interrupted their conversation immediately, fearing that further arguments would waste time. He said anxiously, "Okay, Brother Gu, we don't know if this tiger has any companions yet. Let's not stay here any longer and get down the mountain quickly."
Gu Bei nodded in agreement. He knew that Su Lun was right. If the tiger had a companion, it might be in danger if it stayed here. So he said decisively, "That's right, let's pack up and go down the mountain." After that, he put all the prey they had caught with Su Lun and asked him to keep it.
Then, Gu Bei and Su Lun took out the rope, carefully put it around the tiger's neck, and dragged it behind the horse. Looking at the tiger being dragged, Gu Bei said helplessly: "This is the only way, let's go down first." Although they were a little reluctant, considering the safety issues, they had no choice.
Afterwards, the group began to descend the mountain, remaining vigilant along the way and ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.
Fortunately, apart from encountering two frightened little rabbits along the way, no other ferocious beasts were attracted. The four people soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
When the few people who stayed behind saw the dead tiger being dragged behind Gu Bei, they were all shocked.
"My dear cousin, this tiger...?" Xiao Tao asked tremblingly.
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "This tiger is Brother Su's trophy. I am just responsible for carrying it."
"Second brother, you are so awesome!" As soon as Su Xi heard Gu Bei's words, she immediately ran to Su Lun excitedly and said with admiration in her eyes.
Su Lun seemed a little shy and timid: "Actually, it's not all my credit. The second young lady also made a lot of efforts..."
Xiao Anning waved his hands hastily, with an awkward smile on his face, and said, "If being a hindrance is considered helping, then I did help a little..."
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Sir, you are not hurt, are you?" Su Zhe also walked over and looked at Su Lun and asked with concern.
Su Lun waved his hand, "It's okay, I just look a little disheveled. I'll change into a clean coat later. Excuse me for a moment, everyone. I'm going to change clothes in the carriage." He turned and walked towards the carriage, secretly thanking himself for being well prepared today and bringing two extra sets of clothes. Otherwise, it would be really scary to have a barbecue wearing clothes stained with tiger blood.
When Su Lun changed his clothes and approached, he found Su Xi squatting beside the tiger, looking at it curiously.
"Xiao Xi, what are you looking at?"
Su Xi touched his nose when he heard this: "Second brother, this is my first time seeing a tiger, so I am a little curious..."
Gu Bei also asked at this time: "Brother Su, what are your plans for this tiger?"
Su Lun scratched his hair and said in confusion: "This... I don't know how to deal with it. What do you think we should do, Brother Gu?"
Gu Bei thought for a moment, then suggested: "This is the territory of the General's Mansion. Why don't we notify the farm at the foot of the mountain and ask them to send someone to take care of the tiger and send it to the Su Mansion?"
Hearing this, Su Lun quickly waved his hand and responded: "In this case, there is no need to send it to the Su Mansion. Just hand it over to the people at the farm to handle it."
Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Oh? Brother Su, this is your trophy."
However, Su Lun smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's just good luck, nothing to brag about." He was not too interested in the tiger's corpse, but was more willing to take this opportunity to do a favor.
Gu Bei nodded to show his understanding, and then said, "Okay. Then we will notify the people in the farm as soon as possible to drag the tiger away. Xiao Tao, do you know the way?"
Xiao Tao replied respectfully, "Master, I know the way. I will go and call someone right away."
At this time, Su Lun hurriedly shouted: "Miss Xiaotao, let Azhe go with you. The mountain road is rugged and it is not safe for a girl to go alone. Having Azhe accompany you can also take care of you."
Xiao Anning nodded in agreement, "Then I'll trouble Azhe to accompany Xiaotao."
Su Zhe and Xiao Tao nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay!" Then they quickly ran towards the village.
Su Lun smiled and saluted towards Princess Yuehua and Xiao Anning, saying, "Princess Yuehua, Miss Xiao, please take a break. I will sort out the ingredients first and bake delicious food for you later. Brother Gu, Azhe is not here, so I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for help."
Gu Bei laughed and said, "Brother Su, just give me your orders."
Seeing this, Dan'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Su, General Gu, let me help you two."
"That's great. Miss Dan, please light the charcoal fire in the stove first. Besides, we need to boil some hot water."
"As ordered."
After Su Lun finished speaking, he lifted two buckets of clear water from the carriage and slowly poured them into the kettle. Fortunately, before this, Su Zhe had built a simple stove and collected some dry firewood, making it relatively easy to start a fire.
