C166 A terrible sound

After cleaning for the entire day, his back was already sore from running around, but he actually allowed her to find winter bamboo shoots for him to eat on the mountain that was so far away.

However, although her waist was sore and her back was sore, when she stole the tomb, she did exercise quite a bit. Therefore, climbing a mountain of about 800 meters wasn't too much of a problem.

"We've finally arrived."

On the 800 meter high mountain, the temperature was obviously lower than at the foot of the mountain. Furthermore, it was already winter and Liu Ruo Qing felt a little cold.

He rubbed his arms together, trying to warm himself.

In front of him was a tall bamboo forest. The winter bamboo shoots grew from the roots of the bamboo shoots, so it wasn't actually hard to find.

The difficult part was …

"Not good, I forgot to bring the bamboo shoot digging tools."

Liu Ruo Qing slapped her thigh.

Now that she had climbed so high, she couldn't run back and get her tools.

Liu Ruo Qing facepalmed, and then scolded Yan Yuan ruthlessly in his heart.

Since she had no tools, she could only find some sharp rocks from all around. Squatting beside the bamboo shoots, she began to dig.

"Yan Yuan you little tramp, you better not let me find a chance. Eat, eat, eat, eat you till you die!"

As she dug, she scolded. It was obvious that she was much more energetic when she was digging for winter bamboo shoots.

"Hit your little head, turn your day into a pig's head, hit your little hand, turn your left hand into your right hand, hit your little face, make you …"

It took a lot of effort and the fact that he treated the winter bamboo shoots as Yan Yuan, before Liu Ruo Qing managed to scoop up half of the soil around the winter bamboo shoots.

"Let's see if we can pull it out."

She pulled herself up from the ground and changed her angle, rolling up her sleeves.

"Aiya, my feet are numb, my feet are numb …"

She frowned and limped on the ground several times before she gradually recovered.

However, the soreness of her waist made her unable to straighten it.

Her sleeves rolled up, revealing her slender wrists. She placed her hands on the winter bamboo shoot and exerted a little strength.

Perhaps it was because the humidity was too great on the mountain, but the outer leaves of the winter bamboo shoots were slightly slippery. Just as Liu Ruo Qing exerted her strength, her palm quickly slid backwards.

Ah!

She let out an involuntary cry of pain.

The layer of leaves surrounding the winter bamboo shoot was extremely sharp, and with Liu Ruo Qing's sudden movement, a long and deep gash appeared on her palm.

Fresh red blood dripped down from her palms drop by drop. The stinging pain made Liu Ruo Qing frown in pain.

But even the heavens felt that it was not enough for Yan Yuan to bully her, and wanted to come and kick his at this time.

The originally sunny sky suddenly darkened. Dark clouds gathered and the sound of muffled thunder could be heard from time to time.

"No way."

Liu Ruo Qing held onto her wounded hand, looked at the dark sky, and drooped her face.

His hand was in great pain, but he thought that if he didn't let Yan Yuan get the winter bamboo shoot back, that tramp would definitely think of a way to deal with her.

With that in mind, she gritted her teeth. She didn't care about the blood on her hand, and picked up the stone that had been thrown to the ground, continuing to dig.

"Aowu ~ ~"

A terrifying sound suddenly rang out in this vast bamboo forest. The sound was extremely terrifying.

Liu Ruo Qing stopped digging and looked around in horror.

But she saw nothing.

Could he have heard wrongly?

Liu Ruo Qing did not think anymore. She looked at the sky, and it would rain soon.

"Aowu ~ ~"

This time, Liu Ruo Qing heard everything clearly, and the source of the voice seemed to be even closer to her.

Liu Ruo Qing's heart tensed up. Her gaze, filled with caution, scanned her surroundings and the nerves in her entire body tensed up.

"Don't tell me there are wild beasts in this mountain?"

The moment this consciousness formed in her mind, it started to rain down from the sky.

The bean-sized rain fell on Liu Ruo Qing's face and body, cold to the point that she shivered.

The temperature in the mountain was already low, adding to the fact that it was still raining, Liu Ruo Qing felt that she had never been in such a difficult situation in her entire life.

However, this little bit of distress did not seem to be enough to torment her. Just as she turned around and was about to continue digging up the bamboo shoot, a huge black shadow pounced towards her.

Fortunately, she reacted in time, allowing her to barely avoid the attack.

However, because of this dodge, he twisted his feet without any warning.

The situation in front of her didn't allow her to cry out in pain. An enormous tiger with a fiery gaze was standing in front of her without saying a word.

The two of them were in a position to look at each other.

From time to time, a few terrifying cries came out from the mouth of the tiger, as if telling Liu Ruo Qing that this was its territory, and she had occupied it.

Liu Ruo Qing secretly complained in her heart.

How could she meet a tiger in this mountain?

Indeed, there was no such thing as' miserable '. Only worse.

Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan, if I die in this tiger's hands while digging a bamboo shoot for you, I will definitely turn into a tiger and bite you to death in my next life.

How could the tiger give her any more time to think? As soon as she finished speaking, the tiger charged at her while wailing in her heart.

Its huge body leaped up, flying right above Liu Ruo Qing's head, and then, it pounced towards her.

With his mouth wide open, his teeth were as sharp as sawteeth, staring straight at Liu Ruo Qing's arteries, he pounced.

Liu Ruo Qing was glad that she did not lie to her master when she was learning martial arts. At a time like this, she could still fight with the tiger.

But now, she was empty-handed, and it wouldn't be that easy for her to escape from the tiger.

Not far away, a villager who was digging winter bamboo shoots saw the scene of Liu Ruo Qing fighting with the tiger. He was so scared that his face turned ashen, and his legs became so weak that he couldn't even stand straight.

"Old... "Tiger, tiger..."

He almost tumbled down the hill.

Liu Ruo Qing was still fighting with the tiger, but the tiger did not gain any advantage, but at the same time, she did not.

The sharp claws of the tiger had scratched many wounds on his face and arms.

The tiger's stamina was very good. Because she had cleaned the latrine all day and had a sore back, she had climbed such a high mountain and dug so many bamboo shoots. She had consumed a lot of stamina compared to the tiger.

If she hadn't taken care of this tiger this morning, she would have died from exhaustion.

Inside King Jing Palace, outside the window, there was suddenly heavy rain, causing Yan Yuan's heart to tighten.

He got up and walked out of the room. Just as he went downstairs, he saw the butler hurrying towards him.

"Your Highness."

"Has the princess returned?"

Yan Yuan's tone did not hide the nervousness in his heart.

"Not yet. This old servant wanted to ask the prince if he should send someone to look for Princess Hua-Yang. It's raining so heavily now …" Prince? "Your Highness?"

Before the butler finished speaking, Yan Yuan had already ran out of the Duke Palace through the rain.
