"Xiao Yuan, this is the rent." Qiu Zhiyi handed them a tael of silver. "The rest of the money is our food expenses for the past few days. There is no need to buy meat. We will go to the mountains later to hunt some prey. Do you have hunting tools such as bows and arrows?"

Xiao Yuan was a little embarrassed and didn't take the money.

Seeing Xiaoyuan's expression, Qiu Zhiyi immediately explained, "My brother Adi and I are both very good at eating. The lunch is a bit short, not enough. If we eat freely, you may lose money gone."

Mei Xiaoyuan thought for a while, then took the money, "I'll take it first, and if I have any extra, I'll give it to you when I leave. I don't have bows and arrows at home, so I'll go to Orion's house to borrow them. You guys wait for a while."

When it snows, wolves are the most common on the mountain.Several villages such as Meijia Village are very close to the military camp.Every year when this season comes, the barracks will send soldiers here to hunt wolves.As early as half a month ago, the soldiers had come.

The hills next to Meijia Village and other villages are full of plum blossoms.Chu Mingzhai and Qiu Zhiyi could only go deep into the mountains.

"Hehe..." Qiu Zhiyi has been bouncing and laughing since he went up the mountain.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Mingzhai looked at Qiu Zhiyi who was smiling all over his face, and licked the corners of his mouth.

"I'm so happy! This time it's just me and Brother Ah Di, the reborn heaven's proud daughter." Qiu Zhiyi couldn't help but threw herself into Chu Mingdi's arms.Since they came to the border, they have been very busy.I didn't expect that Brother Ah Zhai would bring him here to play this time.Really, really happy.He thinks he is the happiest little brother in the world.

Chu Mingzhai hugged Qiu Zhiyi tenderly, and gently patted off the snowflakes on his head, "Just be happy."

"Roar!" The cry of a beast suddenly sounded not far away.

"Huh?" Qiu Zhiyi raised his head in doubt, and stretched his neck towards the place where the voice came from.

"Let's go, brother Adi, let's go see what happened?" Qiu Zhiyi dragged the helpless Chu Mingdi, and ran excitedly to the place where the scream of the beast came from.

Wow!Qiu Zhiyi stared at the beast war not far away.

Not far ahead, a leopard and a tiger were biting fiercely.The war has reached a fever pitch.The leopard was bitten by the neck by the tiger, and soon lost its breath.There are two little leopards not far behind the leopard.

"Brother Ah Di, look quickly, that spotted cat is so big! It's much bigger than the cats at home!" Qiu Zhiyi said in shock as he tugged at Chu Mingdi who was next to him.

"That's not a cat, it's a leopard."

"Leopard? Brother Adi, do you see if there are two little ones there, let's take them back to raise, okay?" Qiu Zhiyi looked at Chu Mingdi expectantly.

Chu Mingdi nodded.

After Chu Mingdi and Qiu Zhiyi drove the tiger away, they dug a hole and buried the mother leopard.Chu Mingzhai wrapped the two little leopards in a cloak and gave them to Qiu Zhiyi to hold.The cub looks to be only five or six months old and may have just been weaned.He kept calling in Qiu Zhiyi's arms.

Chu Mingzhai and his team shot two roe deer and went down the mountain.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard crackling and cursing inside.

Chu Mingzhai and Qiu Zhiyi looked at each other and walked in.It was found that the floor of the hall was covered with rice noodles.Apart from Mei Xiaozhou and Mei Xiaoyuan, there were more than a dozen strangers in the hall.

When the people in the hall heard the voice, they all looked at Chu Mingzhai and the others.

"You guys are back, hurry up and see if you have any luggage. These two little brothers have dirty hands and feet." Aunt Liu said to Chu Mingdi and the others.

"What do you mean unclean hands and feet? I haven't asked about the situation yet!" Aunt Wu looked at her unhappily.Aunt Wu is the official husband of Meijia Village.

"What else is unclear! My Xiaoyu said that he was rewarded by a guest officer with a tael of silver, and was stolen by Mei Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyu, tell me what happened." Aunt Wang looked at the woman standing next to her. Mei Xiaoyu.Didn't realize that Mei Xiaoyu had froze.

After waiting for a while, he found that Mei Xiaoyu hadn't spoken, so he tugged at him, "Xiaoyu, say it!"

"Oh, oh." Mei Xiaoyu stammered the matter.He said that after he got the reward, he was very happy to go home and tell his family. He bumped into Mei Xiaoyuan on the way, and the money disappeared after returning home.I also heard that Mei Xiaoyuan's family bought rice noodles, which must have been stolen by Mei Xiaoyuan.

"Xiaoyuan also said that it is the guest officer who lives in their house, and he paid him for food." Aunt Wu choked.

"Guest officer, is this true?" Aunt Wu looked at Qiu Zhiyi and asked.

Qiu Zhiyi nodded.

"Look, I said you should first ask the [Honghuang] Heavenly Way, don't make trouble! You see who will pay for the rice noodles on the ground." Aunt Wu looked at the few people pushing the rice noodles just now.

Several people looked away in embarrassment.They all have a good relationship with Aunt Wang.Aunt Wang is a well-known shrew in Meijia Village.

"They may be in the same group. Neither of them has money to live in the guest room of the big house in the village. How could they have a tael of silver to buy rice noodles." Aunt Wang looked at Chu Mingdi and Qiu Zhiyi contemptuously.

Chu Mingzhai raised his eyebrows.

"Why don't others have any money? Look at the two roe deer in the hands of this guest officer. They can hunt prey at this time, so you know that they are good hunters. It is easy for them to make money. You still don't like them Do you live here?" Aunt Wu looked at Aunt Wang contemptuously.

"Yes!" The person next to him also nodded.

"I don't care. Anyway, I believe what my family Xiaoyu said." Aunt Wang looked at Mei Xiaoyu.

Qiu Zhiyi rolled his eyes and looked at Mei Xiaoyu, "We have already proved that this tael of silver belongs to Mei Xiaoyuan. How do you prove that this tael of silver is yours?"

"I don't remember what that guest officer looks like?" Mei Xiaoyu said guiltily.

"Have you forgotten so soon? Where did he give you the money?"

"In the room. I'll send food to the guest officer."

"Those guest officials are here for the flower viewing banquet, so they must be well-mannered people. Let's ask them one by one, and they won't mind us disturbing them. Let's go!" Qiu Zhiyi looked at Mei with a smile Kohane.

Mei Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly, "I may have left the money in the room. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Mei Xiaoyu ran out quickly.

Mei Xiaoyu was used to bullying Mei Xiaoyuan's family since she was a child, and she thought they would keep silent this time, but she stumbled.In fact, Mei Xiaoyu didn't get any reward at all.

After Mei Xiaoyu ran away, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became quiet.

After a while, Aunt Wu said with a smile, "Okay, okay, it's getting late now, we should go back, the two guest officers are bothering you."

Chu Mingzhai and Qiu Zhiyi nodded.

Aunt Wu turned her head, "Whoever of you just overturned these rice noodles, remember to go home and get them."

Several people nodded quickly.A group of people left in a hurry.After a while, there were only four people left in the hall, including Chu Mingzhai.

"Guest officer, thank you." Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Xiaozhou looked at them gratefully.

"No. From now on, you can call me Xiaoyi! It's weird to call me guest officer. This is my brother Adi, so you can call him brother Adi." Qiu Zhiyi looked at them with a smile.

They nodded.

Chu Mingdi asked Mei Xiaozhou to bring a basket, spread thick hay in the basket, and put a piece of cotton cloth on top of the hay to make a nest for two little leopards.

Qiu Zhiyi ran to the kitchen and brought some roe deer meat cut into small pieces, and put them in a bowl, "Brother Ah Zhai, do you think they can eat meat?"

Chu Mingzhai grabbed a young leopard that looked very energetic and howled, checked its teeth, and found that the teeth had grown out, "They can eat meat now."

Qiu Zhiyi happily fed them with roe deer meat, "The little leopard looks so cute. The fatter one is called Potato, and the thinner one is called Peanut. What do you think, Brother Adi?"

"Well. As long as you don't just care about them." Chu Mingdi looked at him with a smile.

"Of course." Qiu Zhiyi smacked Chu Mingdi's face.

Today's dinner is very rich. There are stewed roe deer with mushrooms, braised roe deer in soy sauce, kao roe deer... Finally, there is a tomato and egg drop soup.White rice was also cooked in a large pot.

Seeing that there were still only the two of them on the table, Qiu Zhiyi turned his head and said to Chu Mingdi, "Brother Adi, you eat first, I'll call Xiaoyuan and Xiaozhou."

"En." Chu Mingdi patted Qiu Zhiyi's head with a smile.

Xiaoyuan and Xiaozhou must be in the kitchen, Qiu Zhiyi ran to the kitchen door and knocked, "Bang bang bang. Xiaoyuan and Xiaozhou quickly open the door."

Squeak!Xiaozhou opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xiaoyi, what's the matter?"

"Xiaozhou, have you eaten with Xiaoyuan?" Qiu Zhiyi stretched out his hand to pinch Mei Xiaozhou's little cheek.

Xiaozhou's face immediately turned red, "Brother Xiaoyi, we were just about to eat."

"That's just right. Let's go, eat with us. Xiao Yuan come out quickly." Qiu Zhiyi held Xiao Zhou by his hand, and waved to Xiao Yuan in the kitchen with a smile.

Xiaoyuan came out and shook his head, "Xiaoyi, go and eat quickly! We have dinner."

Qiu Zhiyi smiled and held Xiao Yuan's hand, "Dining for two is too boring. Let's go! I want you to take us to play later! Xiaozhou also thinks eating for two is boring, right? "

Seeing both of them looking at him, Mei Xiaozhou nodded shyly.

"En." Mei Xiaoyuan looked at his younger brother and nodded.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, are there only you two little brothers in your family?" Qiu Zhiyi asked curiously.Qiu Zhiyi and Chu Mingzhai were holding hands, and standing beside them were Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Xiaozhou, who were on their way to the center of Meijia Village.Meijia Village and other villages are very lively every night.

"We also have an elder brother who has joined the army," Mei Xiaoyuan said.

"Being a soldier?! Brother Ah Di and I are also soldiers, and we will take a rest these days. What is your elder brother's name? Maybe Brother Ah Di knows each other."

"My elder brother's name is Mei Qiang."

"Mei Qiang?" Qiu Zhiyi turned his head, "Brother Ah Di, do you know Mei Qiang?"

Both Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Xiaozhou looked at Chu Mingzhai expectantly.

Chu Mingdi thought for a while and shook his head.

Qiu Zhiyi turned his head to look at the disappointed two younger brothers and said, "We walked for two months before arriving at the barracks. Maybe your elder brother and brother Ah Di were not trained by the same general."

"En." Mei Xiaoyuan nodded.

"On the day you leave, do you have any letters that you can give us. After we see Mei Qiang, we can give the letters to him."

"Um……"
