Chapter 170 He Qing Causing Trouble
He Qing took advantage of Shen Zhi's attention on the prey and didn't notice her abnormality, and quickly pulled out the silver needle from her leg. It was so embarrassing, she would laugh at me if she found out. But she didn't feel proud for long, she found that she was weak all over and her hands were out of control.
"Xiao Zhi, I... I was shot... with an anesthetic gun." He Qing trembled and asked Shen Zhi for help.
Shen Zhi was speechless when he heard this. Why did he shoot himself? If this didn't make the enemy laugh to death on the battlefield, it would be strange.
Shen Zhi shrugged and said, "There is no antidote for the anesthetic. We can only wait for its effect to wear off, which will take at least an hour. But we can't wait any longer. It will be dark if we waste any more time. I'll send a letter to Sanxia and ask them to bring someone to pick us up and drag the prey back." After that, Shen Zhi took out a piece of paper and a pen under the cover of his sleeves, wrote a few words, and then blew a whistle, and a carrier pigeon flew over from the forest. Shen Zhi tied the small note to the pigeon's feet, and the pigeon flew away. This carrier pigeon was given to her by Zhan Xiao some time ago, asking her to write more letters to herself.
At this time, Baiyun Villa was very lively. Everyone had completed the preparations for harvesting potatoes tomorrow, and took advantage of their free time to ask He Jin about current affairs in the capital.
At this time, Eunuch Cao found Shen Zhi's pigeon. When it landed in front of him, Eunuch Cao took the note from the pigeon's feet and quickly read it. The note was written in vernacular: We shot 17 wild buffaloes and 5 wild boars in the deep mountains. He Qing accidentally shot himself with a tranquilizer gun and is unable to move. Please come quickly to help move the prey. The signature was Shen Zhi.
Eunuch Cao handed the note to General He, and He Jin couldn't help laughing after reading it. This silly girl of his had finally fallen into his hands.
He Jin's leg is now healed, so he personally leads people into the mountains. Ke Meng is bored, so he follows them.
A group of men followed the path Shen Zhi had opened when he came into the mountains. When they found the two, He Qing was leaning against a tree trunk and counting sheep out of boredom. Yes, sheep. While Shen Zhi and his men were waiting for them, another group of wild sheep came to the river to drink water. Shen Zhi took out another tranquilizer gun and quickly killed them one by one. This group of sheep was not a small number, at least forty or fifty.
Everyone was happy and worried when they saw the prey all over the ground. They were happy that they could improve their food, as wild game was more delicious than domesticated game. They were worried about how to transport so many prey down the mountain. They didn't know what to do with the 17 wild buffaloes, which were said to be kept for plowing in the future, but they were not tamed yet and would not follow people down the mountain obediently.
"It's okay. I added a little bit of muscle softening powder to the anesthetic. After the effect of the drug wears off, they won't have the strength to escape for the time being. Just tie them up with a rope and lead them down the mountain." Shen Zhi said.
Everyone hurriedly took out ropes and tied up the prey one by one according to Shen Zhi's request. Fortunately, after all this, the wild animals slowly recovered. Everyone pulled the prey down the mountain in batches. Fortunately, there were many people going up the mountain, so it was best to get it all done at once.
He Jin carried his daughter down the mountain, but He Qing was still not quiet even after being anesthetized. As the drug wore off and she regained some strength, she fiddled with the anesthesia gun, trying to figure out how it worked. But she accidentally shot the anesthesia needle again, and luckily it didn't hit her, but her father's buttocks.
He Jin groaned and felt a pain in his buttocks. He thought he was caught on a tree branch. Before he could react, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ke Meng, who was guarding the team behind, hurried over to help He Jin up, otherwise He Qing would have crushed him.
"What's wrong, Lord He?" Ke Meng asked.
He Jin didn't know what happened, but He Qing stammered, "The tranquilizer gun shot into his buttocks."
When he took a closer look, he saw a silver needle and carefully helped him pull it out.
Shen Zhi was walking in front and was stopped by Ke Meng. When she learned that He Qing accidentally shot her father with the anesthetic gun, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Give me back this tranquilizer gun, otherwise I don't know who it will hit next time." Shen Zhi reached out to He Qing to ask for the tranquilizer gun.
He Qing stuffed the tranquilizer gun into her arms. What a joke! How could she give back the artifact she had obtained with such great difficulty? She smiled and said flatteringly, "Good little idiot, I will never touch it again. Leave this gun to me for the next two days, so I can study it."
Shen Zhi didn't force it anymore. Just play if you want to. How can you grow without suffering a few losses?
Now that He Jin was caught, Ke Meng had no choice but to step forward and carry General He on his back. Shen Zhi took over He Jin's burden and carried He Qing on her back, because she was the only woman at the scene.
He Qing was quite quiet on her back, and seemed to be asleep, and she could faintly hear snoring. But this quietness did not last long, and He Qing woke up, looking around with her head down.
Hey, what's that black thing on the tree? A beehive, yes, it's a beehive, there must be honey in it. We have to drive the bees away to eat honey. This time, I'll use a tranquilizer gun to tranquilize the bees, but it won't hurt anyone else. He Qing took out the tranquilizer gun again and shot at the tree.
Ke Meng, who was carrying He Jin on his back, saw He Qing take out the tranquilizer gun again, and an ominous premonition came over him. When he saw clearly that the tranquilizer gun was aimed at the beehive on the tree, it was too late to stop it. He Qing had already pressed the switch, and the silver needle shot out.
"Run, there are bees." Ke Meng shouted as he carried He Jin on his back and ran forward. However, he was running with a heavy load and could not run any longer.
After hearing Ke Meng's shouting, Shen Zhi didn't have time to think about it. He also used all his strength to carry He Qing and ran forward.
I saw the dense swarm of bees coming over like a dark cloud, stinging anyone they saw. No one on the mountain was spared. No matter how powerful a person's martial arts was, he could not resist the overwhelming swarm of bees.
For a moment, everyone was jumping and slapping the bees on their bodies, screaming, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
"Get down quickly and cover your face with clothes!" Shen Zhi shouted anxiously. She quickly lay on the ground and covered her face with clothes to reduce the risk of being stung.
After seeing Shen Zhi's actions, the others suddenly realized what was going on. They followed Shen Zhi's example and quickly lay on the ground, covering their faces with clothes. Some even lay directly on the ground, keeping their bodies as close to the ground as possible, hoping to avoid the bees' attack.
Soon, the swarm of bees began to buzz and gradually flew away from the scene. As the swarm of bees left, everyone began to stand up from the ground, breathing a sigh of relief, but still with lingering fears.
Although the swarm of bees left, everyone was stung, and some even developed redness and swelling on their wounds.
"Everyone, pull out the poison needles in your body first, and then wash the wounds with soapy water when you get home." Shen Zhi shouted.
After hearing Shen Zhi's words, everyone helped each other and pulled out the poison needles that were broken in their bodies.
Shen Zhi also helped He Qing remove the needles. He Qing had been stung in many places on his face, including his eyes, nose and mouth.
"Why are there so many bees here out of nowhere? Did anyone of you destroy their nest?" Shen Zhi asked everyone after he finished his work.
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't see the beehive anywhere.
Ke Meng coughed dryly, winked at Shen Zhi, and nodded towards He Qing.
