Lu Sheige wiped his hands, walked to the door, stood under the eaves and looked out.

"There is a mountain opposite. Send someone to ask General Chen if they have gone into the mountain to hunt."

The villagers don't have much to eat. If they stay here longer, they are afraid that all the livestock in the nearby villages will be sold out.

There is nothing to eat in the countryside, but there is always some prey in the mountains.

The group of them kept on the road and encountered birds and beasts on the road, but at that time everyone was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention.

Now that I'm free and trapped in this place where birds don't poop, why not go find some game and satisfy everyone's cravings.

The people sent by Yun Shu quickly responded. General Chen said that he understood and that he had summoned a thousand people to enter the mountain in batches.

In other words, they are planning to go in and take a look at several hills near the small town of Jianwan.

Among these thousand people, excluding those who are on duty to guard the princess, the rest include the Yulin Guards and the Princess Mansion Guards. A team of 100 people, even if they encounter wild boars and beasts on the mountain, they have knives and guns, and they have still been trained.

Not afraid at all.

It would be better if you can meet wild boars and beasts. The pheasants and rabbits in the mountains taste good, but they are too small to fit in their teeth.

If we can catch a few big guys like wild boars, tigers and black bears, everyone can take a turn to drink the broth.

The first five teams set off first, and one team separated at the top of a hill. The other five teams waited until the people in front came back before they went back.

Hearing that their team was at the back, everyone was so anxious that they were afraid that all the game on the mountain would be killed by the team in front, and it would be their turn to work in vain.

In the end, Chen Xiaohu had no choice but to let the remaining five teams separate one by one and go up the mountain from the opposite hillside of the previous team.

Although they walked half an hour earlier than the previous five teams, they only reached halfway up the mountain at the fastest, and they only just reached the foot of the mountain.

After sending out these people who were so idle that their bones ached, Chen Xiaohu brought two old hens to Lu Sheige to make soup.

Yunjuan happily took over the old hen and called Yun Shu to come over and help. There were two chickens, one was killed to make soup, and the other was tied with a rope and raised for two days before eating.

The two maids who had never touched the spring water after entering the princess's house were now able to kill chickens and fish without changing their expressions.

Soon, the aroma of old hen soup came from the kitchen.

Standing where Lu Sheige was, within sight, there were five mountains on the front, back, left, and right. The highest one did not reach the clouds, and the shortest one was only a dozen or so stories high.

Through the covering of white snow, you can still see the lush green trees on the mountain. Even on a snowy winter day, you can still see the lush trees on the mountain. The mountain is not high, but it is not accessible to ordinary people.

I don’t know if these officers and soldiers will destroy everything in the mountain when they enter the mountain. By then, the local people will not know how to scold them.

Lu Xiangge was not worried at all that they would encounter danger in the mountains.

If they can't even conquer this hill, they are not worthy of staying in the princess's palace, let alone being called the emperor's bodyguards.

Roll out the white flour into the skin, kill the water from the water spinach, mince the pork stuffing, add the eggs and mix until it becomes sticky, then pour in the cut and watered water spinach and stir evenly. Once the filling is ready, you can make dumplings.

Yunjuan and Yunshu were two, one rolling out dough and the other making dumplings. Soon, there were several rows of white flour dumplings with big belly and round waist lined up neatly on the chopping board.

There were more than two hundred and forty dumplings, leaving fifty for General Chen, thirty for Grandpa Table, and fifty for the princess and the three of them. The rest were frozen outside and fried for the princess to eat tomorrow.

You can also steam it in a basket.

By the time Chen Xiaohu came to eat dumplings, the first group of people who entered the mountain had already returned.

There is indeed game in the mountains, but because it is winter, it is not easy to search for it. The first group of people went out and only shot a dozen pheasants, dug out two rabbit nests, and caught three nests of bamboo rats.

One hundred people can't even eat enough for themselves, but no one is in a hurry. Anyway, there are still several teams behind, and there will always be a big harvest for some teams.

In the afternoon, the teams that entered the mountain began to come back one after another, and the game outside the camp almost piled up into a hill.

Pheasants, hares, turtle doves, and wild pigeons, a group of people broke into the wild boar nests and captured a whole nest of two to four medium-sized wild boars.

It seemed that the whole family had been brought here.

Another team actually dug up more than a dozen snakes. The snakes were not given away to Lu Xiangge. They skinned and removed the galls themselves and made a delicious stew of snake soup. I heard that the people who went there even beat the snakes in order to eat the galls.

Only the winner is entitled to enjoy it.

The twenty or so people in the kitchen were so busy that they were sweating profusely. Chen Xiaohu transferred another twenty or thirty people to help them to keep busy.

During this dinner, the aroma of meat wafted out for miles, and even smoke was vaguely rising from the other side of the mountain, as if it was watching something.

On the fifth day, the snow stopped, but the road was not easy to drive on.

Early in the morning, Chen Xiaohu sent five hundred people out to continue looking for game in the mountains, but left five hundred people behind.

When he arrived, Lu Sheige had just eaten a bowl of millet porridge and a few steamed dumplings.

The steamed dumplings are stuffed with cabbage and pork made yesterday. It tastes the same when boiled in water at noon, and another when fried in the evening. Now it is steamed in the morning, and with the seasoning of the cloud rolls, it is not bad at all.

Lu Sheige was very satisfied with the meal and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Yunjuan Yunshu, however, already felt guilty. The two of them murmured and discussed whether they could go to the countryside to see if they could buy fresh vegetables.

Some people go hunting in the mountains. There is no shortage of meat, but there is still a shortage of vegetables. You can't eat radishes and weeds every day. If you eat too much, not to mention the princesses, even their slaves will not be able to eat them.

After Lu Sheige finished breakfast, Yunjuan cleared the table and made a pot of tea. Yun Shu also placed the small stove for making tea beside the table.

This will not only keep you warm, but also keep the tea soup from getting cold.

"The brothers who went to the back mountain yesterday came back and said that if you climb over the mountain behind the town, then climb another mountain, you will find the entrance to the sea. When they stood on the top of the mountain, they could still vaguely hear the sound of rolling waves."

Chen Xiaohu looked at Lu Xiangge who was sitting in front of the window admiring the snow, his eyes darkened, "Xiange, you have nothing to do here anyway, I will take you over to have a look."

Lu Sheige withdrew his gaze from the snowy scene outside, turned around and replied, "I'm going to take a look? What are you looking at? The sea?"

It's not like she has never seen the sea before.

If she had not made this trip to Lingnan, she would have taken the big ship she built and crossed the ocean to a place where no one could find her.

Chen Xiaohu stood up and took a deep look at Lu Xiangge: "Don't you always want to go to sea or go to some Guala country? This place is very close to Haikou. It only takes about two hours to climb over two mountains. I

I'll take you to see it, maybe after seeing it, you won't want to go to sea."

Lu Sheige looked at Chen Xiaohu and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

They stopped in this small town and now they want to take her to see the sea.
