Chapter 39: Pastoral Vessels
Jiunianggou is located in the deepest part of the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
After crossing the Broken Soul Ridge and walking up the ten-mile mountain road along the valley below, you will come to a valley surrounded by mountains.
The valley is surrounded on all sides by mountains, and a total of nine small streams follow the mountain slopes and converge into rivers in the valley.
Nine rivers become a river, just like the mother's milk to feed this valley, Jiunianggou got its name.
However, although the geographical environment is not bad, after all, it is in the deep mountains and old forests, almost isolated from the world.
In the past 20 years, there have been fewer and fewer women who are willing to marry in Jiunianggou.
And the people here are really poor, and the traffickers don't like to run here.
At present, there are more than 400 people in the village, and there are more than 100 young and strong men, and very few can marry daughters-in-law.
Many families have reverted to the same bad habit as decades ago: brothers share a wife.
Last year, there was also a robbery here: the bride was snatched back by the men in Jiunianggou and tossed to death.
The bride's in-law's house is the village chief's house in Lijia Village, which is located 30 kilometers away.
The village chief and his son came to Jiunianggou with more than 50 men, and the two sides fought with * fire, each taking a few lives.
This enmity is completely settled.
Lin Shuo and Anne crossed the Broken Soul Ridge this morning and arrived at the valley at the bottom of the mountain.
It is still ten miles away from Jiunianggou, but there are many prey in the river valley, and Lin Shuo and Anne met several hunters one after another.
Then Anne found that the hunters here looked at themselves differently from the people outside.
If it weren't for the chasing master behind Lin Shuo, who gave these hunters a certain amount of deterrence, maybe they would have taken action a long time ago.
It seems that Wei Xingshan's previous statement in the camp was correct, there was a shortage of women here.
Wei Xingshan had been left far behind by Lin Shuo and Anne since the morning before yesterday.
No matter how good the physical strength of this mercenary leader is, after all, he is close to two meters tall, and he really can't keep up with Lin Shuo and Anne, the two men with inheritance, who are traveling in this mountain.
Anne was following closely behind Lin Shuo at the moment, and after a few interviews with the hunters here, she began to feel a little scared.
If it weren't for Lin Shuo by her side, she wouldn't have the confidence to continue walking.
"Mr. Lin, can we bypass Jiunianggou?" asked Anne softly.
"No, I can't. Lin Shuo twitched his nose a few times and shook his head, "Too much time has passed, and the smell of the Dragon King's envoy and Xiaoba is already very weak, and once they deviate from the route, I won't be able to track them." ”
"Oh. ”
Lin Shuo glanced at Anne and asked, "Scared?"
"It's a little. Anne didn't take it too far, and said honestly, "The way people here look at me is not right. ”
"That's the way the hunter looks at his prey. Lin Shuo concluded, "You've been targeted by them. ”
"Mr. Lin, can you please stop talking like that?" Anne protested, "as if I don't think I'm big enough." ”
"You're not worried about what they're going to do to you. Lin Shuo said in one word, "Are you afraid of human blood on your hands?"
Anne was silent for a while, and then said, "Mr. Lin, you wait for me." ”
Lin Shuo stopped, then looked at the beautiful woman, walked to the river, bent down to take some mud, and smeared it on his face.
Then she turned her dark face and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you think this is better?"
Lin Shuo shook his head and said, "It's useless." They don't lack beautiful women here, they lack women. Your size, even if you look like a pig, they won't let you go. ”
Is he complimenting me on my good figure?
The thought that first crossed Anne's mind, then she felt that it was out of place and asked, "So what are we going to do?"
"Cold salad. Lin Shuo said lightly as he walked, "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, so I can do what I want." ”
Why can't this person say something nice in his mouth?
Anne felt a resentment in her heart, but when she was hurrying, her feet were closer to Lin Shuo's position.
She no longer followed behind Lin Shuo, but walked to Lin Shuo's side.
The shoulders of the two of them are almost touched.
"You're hurting me. Lin Shuo didn't raise his eyelids and said lightly.
"What?" Anne looked unintelligible.
"On such a narrow mountain road, only husbands and wives walk side by side. Lin Shuo said calmly, "They will think that I am your husband, and if they want to rob you, they will kill me first." ”
"Mr. Lin is so capable, would he care about this?" Anne asked.
"Of course I don't care about their * and bows and arrows. Lin Shuo said, "But you want to take revenge on my careful thinking if you don't agree with me, which makes me too dissatisfied." ”
"Hmph, I don't care. Anne turned her head and whispered.
This made Lin Shuo a little surprised.
In his eyes, this Anne has always been respectful to himself and seems to be very sensible.
This kind of sensible and empathetic is like a gentle trap, Lin Shuo is silent on the surface, but in fact, he is secretly vigilant in his heart.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. This is a truth he has known since he was a child.
A knife on the head of the color word. This was the lesson he had seen from his own fathers.
So along the way, he would deliberately keep a certain distance from Anne, so as not to affect his state when hunting.
Moreover, for Lin Shuo, although this woman has some origins, her origin is unknown.
So far, Lin Shuo has not fully trusted her.
But today, the disguise that this woman had been wrapped around seemed to be torn off at once.
She just walked beside herself, not so sensible.
Is she playing petty?
Lin Shuo couldn't understand her a little, which made him very confused.
The species of women, he may not know as much as the bird Hachi.
However, this confusion was quickly thrown out of his mind.
Because Jiunianggou is already close at hand.
The people there are also anxious to get to know women.
......
Yu Ruifeng, a scar-faced man, waited for three days in the dense forest of the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
Finally, on this morning, I waited for something.
These are three snow-white hairs, sealed in a glass box.
The glass box was again contained in a wooden box, filled with shock-proof padding, and then dropped by a seaplane and floated down in a parachute.
In order to find it, Yu Ruifeng took five of his men to pounce in this mountain forest for a morning.
At this moment, Yu Ruifeng was holding this glass box, and the corners of his mouth were grinning, which made the scar on his face even more distorted and ugly.
"Boss, we've been busy all morning, just to find this thing. A strong man under his command touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "There are three hairs in here, what's the use?"
"You know. Yu Ruifeng carefully put the big fist glass box into his backpack, "This thing is a treasure." ”
"Really!" said the other man, astonished, "Chief, tell us about it." ”
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!" Yu Ruifeng glared at his subordinate fiercely, "The more you know, the faster you will die." ”
The five men were suddenly silent.
After scaring his subordinates, Yu Ruifeng laughed again, "However, you can't understand it anyway, it doesn't matter if I say it." ”
The corners of the mouths of the five subordinates twitched, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
Yu Ruifeng said, "These three hairs are not ordinary hairs, but a shepherd. ”
"What's that?"
Yu Ruifeng said: "It's something for grazing. ”
"Boss, don't make fun of us. Things used for grazing, I know the lassing pole, which is used for lassing horses. What can these three hairs do, take them and poke the sheep's buttocks? It doesn't feel it?"
"I can't see it, you're pretty funny. ”
Yu Ruifeng praised it, and then the big palm of Pu Fan waved violently, and a slap knocked this subordinate around in place.
The subordinates were stunned, covering their faces and looking at Yu Ruifeng.
"You dare to question me?"
"Don't dare!" the men shook their heads like rattles.
"Whatever I say is what, right?" Yu Ruifeng stared at this subordinate.
"Yes. The subordinate nodded frantically.
"Listen to me?"
"Listen!" the men were about to cry.
Yu Ruifeng nodded and said, "Grazing, that's the truth." What is being grazed, the first thing to know is to be afraid of the shepherd. ”
The subordinate blinked, but did not react.
"Then why are you afraid?" Yu Ruifeng slowly picked up the glass box and looked at the three snow-white hairs inside, "With this, this is called a pastor." ”
