    [Thanks to the book friend "Lao Zhou Lao Zhou" for the enthusiastic reward!  ¡¿

    In front of the Cao family manor, more than a hundred knights were sitting on their horses, waiting for the order to set off.  As for everyone's entourage, grooms and others, they also prepared their luggage and sat on the carriage transporting tents and other supplies, ready to set off at any time.

    The old man Cao Song is giving instructions to Cao De in the ancestral hall, and will come in person to announce the start of the hunting activity later.  Although hundreds of people gathered in front of the manor, it was not too noisy.  The young men of the Cao family were also divided into small circles according to the degree of closeness of their past relationships.

    Among them, beside Cao Ang, in addition to Cao Ren, there were also several familiar faces such as Xia Houmao.  Everyone has similar status, and their relationship is quite harmonious on weekdays. During the tense time of departure, we couldn't help but gather together.  Although Cao Ang is the youngest among them, due to his excellent performance in the past and his approachable style, he has become the hidden center of everyone.  Especially recently, it was rumored that Cao Song valued him very much, which further consolidated his core position.

    After everyone chatted for half a quarter of an hour, they saw the middle door of Cao's mansion opened wide, and Cao Song strode out, followed closely by Cao De who had put on an arrow suit.

    When the more than a hundred knights of the Cao family saw their master coming, they all dismounted and bowed in salute.

    Cao Song raised his hand to support him, took a breath of Dantian Qi, and said loudly: "When our Cao family settled in Qiao County, we only had a dozen slaves and a hundred acres of thin farmland. Now we have more than a thousand slaves and more fertile farmland.  With Baiqing, together with the Xiahou family, they support each other and are firmly at the top of the list of powerful men in Qiao County!

    What do you rely on for such a good life?  It depends on the mutual support and sincere cooperation among brothers, uncles and nephews in the clan!  It depends on the unity of our Cao family and Xiahou family, and on the fact that the children in the family do not shy away from bows and arrows and work hard to achieve success.  Now that the younger generations of our Cao family and Xiahou family have grown up, we will rely on you to bring our family glory, future and status in the future!

    I won¡¯t say anything unnecessary. It¡¯s still the same old rule. The quantity and quality of prey will be used as the scoring criteria for this hunting. The one who catches the most prey or the largest prey will be the champion.  You can hunt alone or in a group, it¡¯s up to you!  My second son Cao De will lead more than a hundred servants to set off after you as your logistical support.  Now listen to my command and go!  "

    After hearing Cao Song's shout, everyone saluted him, quickly jumped on the horse, whipped the horse, and rushed away.

    These more than one hundred war horses were all bought by Cao Cao from the Bingzhou area and provided to his nephews in the clan for free. They are very powerful horses.  More than a hundred people rode their horses and whipped their whips at the same time, which was very spectacular.

    Cao De turned around, saluted Cao Song, and was about to mount his horse and leave.  Cao Song whispered: "Mingshan, don't let me down again!"

    When Cao De heard this, he froze, and then he concealed a smile: "I can't understand what father said!"

    Cao Song ignored him, but sighed and walked towards the middle gate.

    Looking at his father's slightly stooped figure, Cao De hesitated for a moment, but still got on his horse.  Father, only I can bring prosperity to the Cao family; only my son can inherit the resources of the Cao family, and no one else can!

    Cao De straightened his back and ordered loudly: "Send the order, let's go to Lijiazhuang to camp tonight, bring all the equipment, and don't forget anything!"

    The servants loudly accepted the order, surrounded him and left quickly.  Cao De in the crowd was calm in commanding, but he couldn't help but look back.  However, the door of Cao's house was closed at this time

    Two hours later, the young men of the Cao family had dispersed and were looking for campsites.  Cao Ang, Cao Ren, and Xia Houmao volunteered to act together, and now they have found a suitable campsite, just beside a small river.

    This time when he went hunting, Cao Ren always went alone without any attendants. Cao Ang brought Xiao Yi and Lao Zhao with him, and Xiahou Mao also brought an old family member of his named Xiahou Shi.

    After everyone selected a camping site, they started to set up tents and prepared to spend the night here.  In the next five days, all the children of the Cao family will camp in the wild like this. Only when they encounter dangerous situations can they return to Cao De's main camp to seek help.  Of course, the main camp will also regularly and irregularly send personnel to inspect the grasslands and forests here and register the details of each camp.

    Seeing that it was already the end of Shenshi, Lao Zhao and Xiao Yi teamed up and quickly set up camp. Xiahou Shi also rode a bad horse and went to the main camp to report the general location here.  As for Cao Ren, who went out hunting, he got quite a harvest. He carried the pheasants and rabbits and went to the stream to have his intestines opened with a smile.  Speaking of which, he is quite good at this job.

    Cao Ang and Xia Houmao went to the woods by the river to collect some dry branches.  Anyway, today is the first day of hunting. We haven't gone deep into the woods yet, so there won't be any danger in the periphery.

    ??The Yellow Turban Rebellion had just passed, and many people abandoned their land to escape the war.  Now the fertile fields have turned into wilderness, and the ridges are covered with weeds. From time to time, some wild rabbits and pheasants emerge from the grass. When they see Cao Ang, they turn around and run away in fright.

    The two of them didn¡¯t bring bows and arrows, and their archery skills were really mediocre. They could only smile and look at the fleeing prey, constantly bending down to pick up dry grass and dead branches.  Soon, the two of them picked up an armful.  He quickly twisted some straw ropes and tied the firewood tightly.

    Xia Houmao volunteered and dragged the dead branches towards the camp; Cao Ang stayed nearby and continued to pick up dead branches.

    Soon, all the dead branches nearby were picked up by Cao Ang. Cao Ang straightened up and saw that Xia Houmao had not come back yet, so he decided to walk forward to see if there were any larger dead trees.  It's a long night, and it's easy to put out the fire just by relying on these dry grass branches. You have to find some durable thick branches.

    After walking about twenty feet and entering the edge of the woods, Cao Ang suddenly saw red strips of cloth in the grass in the distance.

    He was very surprised, and quickly took out the sword from his waist, squatted down, and carefully touched the grass.  After walking forward for about fifteen feet, Cao Ang stopped moving and stayed where he was, watching carefully.

    Looking from here, it looks like there is a person lying in the grass in the distance. The red cloth strips just seen are part of the person's clothes that were hung on the branches.  Cao Ang looked carefully and saw a few pools of blood near the grass. It seemed that the man was seriously injured. He barely hid in the grass and then lost strength. He fainted or died there.

    Cao Ang waited in the grass for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual around him, he arched his body, blocked the knife in front of him, and walked carefully towards the grass.

    Five feet, four feet, three feet, two feet, one foot

    The man in the grass showed no reaction. Cao Ang continued to move forward. When he was six or seven feet away from him, he stopped and asked loudly: "I am from the Cao Mansion in Qiao County. Who is your honor?"

    The other party showed no reaction and seemed to have lost consciousness.  Cao Ang scratched his head and continued walking forward, and found a little girl wearing coarse clothes lying in the grass.  The little girl's shoulders were wrapped randomly with white cloth, and blood could be vaguely seen seeping out. It seemed that she had suffered trauma.  The red strips of cloth in the grass were the blood-stained clothes on the man's shoulders. They might have been accidentally hooked on a branch.

    Cao Ang walked up to the man and turned the man's body over with the back of his knife. The man didn't respond. He couldn't be dead!

    Cao Ang felt a little nervous. He licked his dry lips and squatted down.  The right hand continued to hold the knife, and the left hand learned from Hong Kong and Taiwan police dramas and touched the side of the man's neck.

    Cao Ang touched it, then touched it again, and found that it was smoother, indicating that the other party's skin was well taken care of.  It's just that Cao Ang only touched the other person's neck for some warmth, but didn't feel any pulse.

    "If the tricks you learned in police movies don't work, try something else. For example, listen to her heart to see if it's still beating.

    Cao Ang paid attention and looked around again. When he saw that there was nothing unusual, he inserted the waist knife in his hand on the ground and listened to the man.  At first, the man's heartbeat was not obvious through his clothes; Cao Ang pushed his head hard and pressed his ears against the man: "PlopPlop"

    The heart is also beating, and the frequency is relatively fast. This person is indeed not a dead person.  Cao Ang pressed the man's body and raised his head, only to find that the little girl barely opened her eyes and glared at him.  Especially the little girl's gaze was fixed on Cao Ang's hand pressing on her chest.

    He quickly explained: "Misunderstanding misunderstanding I just wanted to see if you were dead I just let go of this hand, not intentionally"

    The girl scolded angrily: "You are a scoundrel, II"

    ¡°Perhaps she was too nervous and excited, but the girl fainted as soon as she stared.

    "Heyhey! Wake up!" Cao Ang put his hand on the girl's shoulders and shook her vigorously.

    But the other party fell into a coma and couldn't wake up no matter how hard he shook.  Cao Ang faced her face to face and looked at her carefully. He saw that the girl was quite pretty, but her face was very pale, probably because of the excessive blood loss from the injury on her shoulder.

    Cao Ang felt very aggrieved. Please, I am not a follower. This time I was really wronged!  Judging from the size of your chest, it's not as big as Xie'er, so you can earn a reputation as a disciple. I feel so unjust.

    At this moment, footsteps were heard in the distance. It turned out to be Xia Houmao walking back from the camp.  Seeing Cao Ang squatting in the grass with a girl lying underneath him, Xia Houmao turned around and ran away: "Brother, please continue, I didn't mean to interrupt!"

    While turning around, Xia Houmao admired? Said: "Aang, I really didn't expect you to strike so quickly! Brother Yu is a few years older than you, and you have never even held a girl's hand, but you actually pushed her down. I admire you! I admire you!"

    Cao Ang's face turned livid, why did my brave act of justice seem so dirty when Xiahou Mao said it?
