Chapter 139: Waiting for an Opportunity

When Bhagazon returned to the cabin in the woods, he saw Pennington doing one-handed push-ups as soon as he entered the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"What are you doing here, aren't you afraid of breaking your bones?" said Bhagava, surprised, "you haven't recovered yet." ”

"Exercise. Pennington got up on his feet, "Did you drink a lot of wine yesterday, and the smell on your body is so big?" ”

Bhagamang said nonchalantly, "Why are you nagging like a woman?" It's not normal for a man to smell. ”

Pennington remembered Fan Long's pretty little face, "Do you mean your sister?"

Bogha's eyes widened, "My sister has been here?"

Without waiting for Pennington to answer, he said angrily, "I'll go back and beat her up right away!"

"Wait. Pennington grabbed him, "What are you going to do? What did your sister do wrong, and you were going to beat someone?"

"She's not going to get married!" said Bhagava, furious as a toad, with bulging eyes, "she's just eighteen." According to our custom here, you can't talk to a strange man for the first six months after turning eighteen, and if you break this rule, the matchmaker won't introduce a good young man to her!"

The more Bhaga thought about it, the more angry he became, he threw the two pheasants in his hand to the ground, turned around and walked out.

Pennington hurriedly chased out, "Don't be angry, I'm teasing you, I haven't seen your sister." ”

Bogami's skin was already dark and dark, and he looked even more gloomy when he was angry. He stared at Pennington and said unhappily, "I saved you, you can't beat my sister's idea!"

"I didn't!" Pennington felt wronged, "I just made a casual joke, why are you so sensitive." ”

"What sensitivity?" Bhagavad crossed his hands on his hips, "Are you scolding me?"

"Of course not, you mean you're a smart person. Pennington couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to talk nonsense, "I haven't seen your sister, I heard you say that I look like a woman, so I want to tease you, just kidding." ”

Bhagami was skeptical, "She really hasn't been here?"

"Of course not!"

Bhammon muttered to himself, "She shouldn't be able to find this place, she hasn't been out hunting for a long time." ”

Pan Ning suddenly saw that he seemed to be angry, so he cautiously asked, "You are so angry, I guess, your sister should be very beautiful, right?"

"That's it. Bhagamon proudly said, "My sister is the most beautiful girl in our village." ”

"Like you...... Is it so dark?" Penning, pondering his words, "the girls here must be darker." ”

"No, my sister is not black. Bhaja shook his head violently, "When my sister used to go to the city, some people thought she was Han. ”

Pennington smiled, "Then your sister is really not like you, you are so dark, as soon as the sun sets, you will not be able to find you." ”

Bocca Meng disagreed, "I'm a man, and Hei looks like a man." He thought for a moment, "It's nothing to tell you, my sister is not my own sister, when she was a few months old, I don't know who put her in my chicken coop, my aunt adopted her." ”

"I see. Pennington nodded, but thought to himself, "Look at you like this, how can you have such a beautiful sister." ”

The weather is getting colder and colder, and in November the mountains and forests are much cooler than in the plains. Hunting became more and more difficult, and the Bhagam gradually became less and less. Fortunately, he had taught Pennington how to make and identify traps, and the latter could now hunt bamboo rats and hares on his own, and, if lucky, red muntjac.

At noon that day, Pennington was bathing in a pool.

"I can't see it, you're pretty strong. Fan Long's voice appeared behind him.

"Are you a snake? you walk silently!" said Pennington helplessly, "Fortunately, it's me, and if it were someone else, I would have been scared out of your illness." ”

"Why do you seem so upset to see me?" Fan Long pursed his lips, his expression was quite similar to that of Bogammon, "The other boys will blush when they see me, but you, seeing me is like seeing a ghost." ”

"I'm for your good. Pennington sighed and shook his wet hair, "If you can't marry a good man, your brother will fight with me." ”

"What age is it, who would believe in that set of things?" Fan Long walked to the side of the big stone and sat down lightly, "In the past, people still paid attention to the fact that women had to shave their heads when hunting. ”

"Why?" said Penning, stunned.

"Afraid of being grabbed by monkeys, tigers, etc., women shave their hair naked. Fan Long grimaced, "It's ugly." Of course, there is no such rule now. So, why can't you talk to a man you don't know for six months before the age of eighteen is nonsense. I don't believe it, I'm so good-looking, will I ever find a good mother-in-law?"

Pennington couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I'll just take what you say right." Now, turn around, I'm going to get dressed ashore. ”

"You come up. Fan Long shook his head and said with a grin, "Are you afraid that I will laugh at you when I see your body?"

When Pennington heard her say this, he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and immediately got up and walked to the shore.

Fan Long screamed and quickly covered his face, "You have such thick skin." Her voice came from between her fingers, "I'm not married yet, how can you do that?"

Pennington simply wiped the water from his body, then put on his pants, "Who's thick-skinned?" he deliberately approached Fanlong, "Who are you saying is thick-skinned?"

Fan Long heard the sound close to her and fell off the stone in fright. The fall was not light, she sat on the ground, rubbed her waist, and said with a bitter face, "You are not fun, I won't play with you anymore." ”

"Then you can go home. Pennington said lightly, "I don't want to play with you either." ”

"Well, this one is for you. Fan Long stood up and took out something from behind the big rock, which she had hidden when she first arrived. It was an animal about a meter long, with a thick and very fluffy coat of fur on its body. Its back is brownish-yellow, and its belly is black, making it look like it's wearing a coat.

"You have to get your ass there, or it will stink. Fan Long was still a little unhappy, "I finally caught it." ”

"What is this?" Pennington, glancing at its pointed head, "it doesn't taste very good." ”

"It's a mountain badger. Fan Long replied, "The meat is delicious, especially fresh." She shoved the badger into Pennington's hand, "Don't throw away its fur, be careful when peeling it, and keep it as a little scarf, which is very warm to wear in winter." ”

Seeing that she had specially sent prey to herself, Pennington couldn't drive her away anymore, "You just wrestled, it doesn't matter, right?"

"It's okay, I'm wearing a lot, and it doesn't hurt to fall. Fan Long grinned.

"Her anger is so fast, she is a child after all. Pennington thought with emotion, and then thought of Yun Trace, "If Yun Trace is still there, I will also think this girl is very cute." ”

Fanlong's visits and companionship every now and then made Pennington feel that this winter was not so difficult. His fractures had healed completely, except for a few gunshot wounds on his body that would be painful from time to time.

Pennington knew in his heart that even though his body was good, after all, he was seriously injured, and herbal medicine was no better than antibiotics, and in some places he was afraid that there were sequelae.

But Fan Long didn't think so, and she insisted that Pennington should take some special herbs orally in addition to external herbs. In particular, she emphasized that there is a mushroom in the mountains called "Kebadxia", which in the past was used to save people who were slapped on the heart by black bears. In the Gruzil language, "Kebadsha" means "to bring the dead back to life".

One morning, Fan Long came to the cabin in high spirits. "Old Pan, bring a knife and follow me. Her face was flushed and excited.

"Why are you going?"

"You'll know when you come. Fan Long sold Guanzi.

The two walked in the mountains and forests for a long time, so long that Pennington felt a little unable to walk, but Fan Long always looked full of physical strength. Pennington couldn't help but sigh in his heart: in the end, it was a child who grew up in the mountains, and walking on the mountain road was like walking on the ground.

When they finally reached their destination, Pennington was surprised to find that they were on the edge of a cliff.

Pennington looked at the abyss below the cliff and asked vigilantly, "What did you bring me here for?"

"Save you. Fan Long said with a serious face, "This is where 'Kebadxia' grows, and I searched for several days before I found one here." She pointed to a tree on the edge of the cliff.

Penning suddenly looked at it, and in the shade of the tree, there were indeed some mushrooms growing, but he didn't know which one was "Kebadxia", "Why do you have to work so hard? Can't you just pick it for me?

Fan Long glared at him, "Chamu Jiang Jiang, this person is so stupid!" she walked under the tree, pointed to a crimson mushroom, and said, "This fungus will quickly dry up when it is plucked, and it will be useless when it dries." If you want to get the divine power of 'Kebadxia', you have to chew it on the spot and swallow it. ”

Pennington was taken aback, "Then if you admit that you are mistaken, this mushroom is poisonous, and I will be finished if I eat it?"

"How could I kill you?" said Fanlong's eyes reddened. She bit her lip, suddenly bent down and pulled out the "Kebadxia", then stood up, threw it into her mouth without hesitation, chewed it, chewed it, and swallowed it. There was a little residual red crumb at the corner of her mouth, like her anger, "No wonder others say that there are few good people among the Han people." ”

With that, she turned around and walked down the mountain.

"I'm sorry!" Pennington chased after him, "I'm sorry, really!" he said with some shame, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's ......"

Fan Long stopped, twisting her small, sharply curtailed face to the side, unwilling to look at Pennington again.

"I've suffered a lot and met a lot of bad people. Before I came here, a lot of bad things happened to my wife...... Also dead. Please understand, I really don't dare to trust people casually. Pennington said with difficulty, "I didn't mean to target you, I was bad just now, I'm sorry." ”

Fan Long turned his face, and tears gradually overflowed from his big eyes, "I won't hurt you." Please trust me. ”

Pennington didn't know what to say, but just sighed.

From that day on, the relationship between the two became a little delicate. Pennington was keenly aware that this young girl cared about him a little more than ordinary people, but he didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it, his heart had already been filled with hatred.

After Cloud Trace was arrested, Pennington quietly went to the hospital to see it, when Cloud Trace was about to give birth. Unfortunately, the security in the hospital was so impenetrable that Pennington couldn't take away the clouds. After that, within a few days, Yun Trace died in childbirth.

Penning's heart was like a knife, but he didn't dare to let himself collapse, because he still had a responsibility, and that was his son.

He took his son and hid in a small hotel. He planned to find Mo Aogu first, entrust his son with full authority, and then go to revenge. However, before he could hear the news of Mo Aogu, the "Unkind Society" came to the door. In the desperate battle between the two sides, his son was killed by random gunfire.

The tragic deaths of his wife and son were like a hammer that shattered Pennington's beautiful illusions about the world. Now, he chose to recuperate in this forest hut, just like a dormant beast, quietly waiting for the best time.

Of course, Fan Long didn't know all this, she just didn't have the heart to bring game and herbs to Pennington. After that day, she found seven or eight more "Kebadxia" plants intermittently, and Pennington, after taking this frightening-looking mushroom, was surprised to find that her old wound really didn't hurt much.

By the time the first warm spring breeze blew into the forest, Pennington had been living in the cabin for more than half a year. His injuries were all healed, and Bogammon told him that he hadn't seen a Neon Nation in a long time.

But Pennington was still not at ease, and he quietly went to the town's market a few times, and only relented when he found that no one was following him.

After making sure he was safe, Pennington decided to leave. Before leaving, he planned to give the Bhagamon siblings a gift.

Bhagamon already had a good relationship at this time and was ready to start a family. He told Pennington that there is a custom of the Gruzil people that if the bridegroom can give the bride a hat made of rainbow pheasant feathers before the bride is married, then the marriage will be infinitely blessed by Chamu Jiang.

Rainbow pheasants have been missing from Orion's sight for years, and some Gruzirs believe they are extinct, but Pennington has spotted a few near the waterhole where he bathes.

Pennington carefully prepared the trap and finally caught the two rainbow pheasants. He carried the rainbow pheasant and walked happily to the hut, and he could almost imagine the jaw-dropping expressions of the Bhagamang siblings.

However, when he reached the open space in front of the cabin, the woman who pushed the door out made him freeze in place.

"Who are you?"
