They looked at each other, and in the next second, two figures came out from behind the trees.
Bai Lixin frowned once he saw their faces.
It was a man and a woman, both looked very young, only about twenty years old.
The two were wearing thick padded jackets, their cheeks and noses purple from the cold.
The woman looked at the man and complained: “Today is so cold, we will freeze to death if we hunt in this weather.”
Man: “You think I want to? Why is this year so cold, even the ferrets haven’t come out.”
The woman stumbled through the snow, her eyes sweeping across the snow eagerly, as if searching for something.
Her eyes went past Dijia, and when saw the footprints, her eyes lit up. “Look, it’s footprints! The footprints are fresh so they must have been here and haven’t gone that far.”
The two eagerly stepped into the snow and walked to the footprints.
The woman walked straight to Bai Lixin, but did not have the slightest intention of stopping. Just when she was about to hit Bai Lixin, she went straight through him and stopped in front of the footprints.
Bai Lixin: “……”
Were they ghosts, or was this a 3d scene replay?
Bai Lixin’s eyes fell on the man’s face. He looked like a standard northern tough guy, and had cyan colored beards on the chin. He was fat but he looked very healthy and strong.
There was a twenty year old difference in appearance, and the body shape and style had changed a lot, but Bai Lixin still recognized who this was through the facial features.
Li Mingyuan, or rather Lord Li.
Then the woman beside him must be his wife.
Bai Lixin shifted his gaze from Lord Li’s face to the woman. Like a gentle village belle, the woman in front of him looked bold, and had beautiful features. Her lips were a little dry and cracked because of the cold.
The woman: “Let’s use the old way. Make the trap, I lure these animals out and you catch them. I hope we can have a meal today.”
The two should be veteran hunters, as their every action was skilled. Within a few moments, they had hidden a trap under the snow.
The woman took a deep breath and suddenly took off her clothes.
This was what Li Yuan meant by “bait” at the time.
The soldiers gasped one after the other and Bai Lixin was concentrating on watching. His vision suddenly went dark and a voice came to his ears, “don’t look.”
Bai Lixin grabbed Dijia’s hand that was covering his eyes, and opened a gap between the fingers.
It was obvious that his and Dijia’s bodies had a few centimeters in difference, but how come Dijia’s hand could envelop both of his hands?
In addition, his strength was greater, was this reasonable?
With the gap opened, he saw the woman skillfully lying in the snow.
As bait, she did not take off her clothes. She was still wearing a half top and pants. She shivered as she lay in the snow, her exposed skin turning blue because of the cold.
They must be poor hunters at this time, as they were wearing patched jackets and fur coats that seem to have been worn for many years.
Lord Li seemed uncomfortable from watching his wife suffer from the cold. He grabbed her hand and promised: “Wife, I have wronged you but don’t worry, I’ll make sure you live a good life in the future.”
The woman glared at him: “If you really care about me, hurry up and hide, I’m about to freeze to death. I will definitely fall ill if I go on like this.”
Lord Li quickly hid behind a tree.
The woman quietly lay in the snow, and Dijia and the others also waited quietly.
Ten minutes later, several foxes emerged from the snow.
They tentatively came to the woman’s side, stretching out their fluffy paws to probe her body temperature, and sniffing her with curiosity.
One of the foxes curled up into a ball and huddled next to the woman’s body, as if trying to warm her body.
Just when these four foxes had started to put down their guard, Lord Li suddenly pulled the mechanism and the four foxes were instantly caught in a net.
The woman was frozen through, and her whole body was shivering. She looked at the young foxes with surprise and regret on her face.
“Why are they red and black? Some even have white fur.” She cursed as she put on clothes. “We could have sold them at a good price if the color was a little purer and they were a little bigger. It would have solved this year’s problems. But these ones, even the meat after skinning won’t be much.”
The foxes that were locked in the net looked at the woman in horror. They struggled frantically and let out a sharp wail.
Lord Li smiled and said, “Don’t you see that these foxes are only five or six months old? They are fox cubs, so there must be an adult fox hunting for food.”
“We’ll use these fox cubs as bait to lure the adult foxes out. There must be one or two of them.”
“Most of their fur is red, so I’m sure one of them is a pure colored red fox. If we can catch that ted fox, we can even do without five years of hunting.”
The woman finally dressed, and she hugged herself tightly. She shivered as she spoke, “Stop daydreaming. Even if there really is such a good thing, can it fall on our heads? We can catch these four by chance but adult foxes are cunning and good at deception, how can we lure them out?”
“Of course I have a way.” Lord Li pulled out a dagger from his waist and slowly walked to the net. “Aside from being cunning, foxes are also very compassionate.”
“When they hear the screams of their children, the odds are that they will appear.”
“Set up another trap in front of this net pocket.” Lord Li indifferently grabbed a fox from the net and said, “Leave the rest to me.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, although it’s to deceive your parents, such fine-textured fur is not common. It will sell for a price even if it is scratched.” In the fox’s frightened golden pupils, Lord Li scrutinized its body for a moment, and aimed the dagger at the fox cubs’s eyes.
“I can only poke the eyes,” Lord Li’s voice was gentle, but the dagger in his hand was not the slightest but like his tone as he forcefully stabbed into the fox’s eyes.
Blood immediately splattered everywhere.
The fox cub’s painful howls resounded throughout the mountain forest.
The fox cubs in the net struggled violently. They yelped and gnawed hard on the net, wanting to drill out from it.
In order to make the fox cub scream in pain, the man held the dagger and rotated it hard.
“Fuck!” A soldier suddenly roared out in anger and dashed over. “You fucking stop it!”
The angry soldier tried to grab the dagger from the man’s hand, but his hand stretched out and lunged in vain. His body stumbled due to weightlessness, and he fell right through Lord Li’s body.
A hand held him steady, and the soldier stumbled to a halt. He looked at the person supporting him and hurriedly said, “Thank you, young master.”
Bai Lixin: “It’s useless, this has already happened so we can only stand here and watch the scene replay. We can’t intervene.”
Fortunately, Liang Xi wasn’t here. Lord Li’s brutality was just beginning to take shape.
The soldier glared angrily at Lord Li with fury, “This trash, I curse him to give birth to a child without □□□□□!”
Bai Lixin: “Uh …… you can rest assured that your curse is very effective, he doesn’t even have children.”
With that, he glanced at Dijia.
Dijia: “……”
It’s none of his business, he had long since cut off the relationship.
It’s really bad luck that he chose this character.
The few exchanges couldn’t stop things from continuing. It could be that Lord Li’s demeanor was too brutal, even the woman interrupted after laying a good trap: “Don’t be so cruel, this fox is quite pitiful already. We are going to eat its meat, so consider it that it will save our lives by giving up its own.”
Lord Li was scornful as he said, “Beasts are beasts, how can you compare them to us? Their getting caught is their bad luck, and they deserve to be eaten. In addition, there will be an unexpected windfall. We are going to kill these foxes anyway, what difference does it make as to how I treat them? They don’t even know what pain and death is. If you can’t watch, go to the side.”
The woman had laid the trap, so she hurried to the side.
The soldier saw the situation and his blood was surging: “My God! How can a beast not know about pain? I wish I could touch this motherfucker, I would stab him in the eye and ask him if it hurts!”
After stabbing the eye, the adult foxes had still not appeared.
Just when Lord Li had pulled out the dagger and was ready to insert it I the other eye, a beautiful fox with bright red fur came from the distance.
That fox was huge, and it had a hard time moving.
On seeing the color and size of the fox, Lord Li’s eyes lit up.
He watched the red fox come to the trap before it stopped.
Its fur was like a flame, and its golden eyes were like the winter sun.
It looked at the trap vigilantly and walked around it. Its whole body tensed as it approached Lord Li and bared sharp teeth. Its body also bent into an attack stance.
Lord Li was afraid, but he sneered and grabbed the fox cub’s neck.
The fire red fox that was about to attack suddenly stopped. It looked at the fox cub, and then looked at the three foxes in the bet pocket.
Finally, it chose to go to the net pocket containing three foxes, and tried to drag them away.
