Chapter 049: Departure to find a teacher

The Siamese man took out a sack from the corner of the earthen platform against the wall, which was full of items scavenged from the ruins, and found out a set of old clothes and a cotton coat. They stockpiled a lot of the clothes that were not too tattered from the victims, or fabrics that had been turned out of the collapsed cloth estates, so that they could be repurposed into clothes that they could wear when needed, with one sleeve side buckle and one trouser leg high waist.

But the bodies of the victims who have been taken by them will be buried in the ground. In the past, when the old man was still alive, he kept telling them that sending him into the soil and crying in front of his grave was to repay the favor. So they understood that it was a good thing to bury the dead in the ground.

"Thank you. ”

Zhang Jiabao took his clothes and took a bath in a hot spring, rubbed off the mud shells all over his body, and washed everything from his hair to his nostrils to his toenails. After washing, change into clothes, a half-sleeved linen blouse, a cotton gown, and a pair of cotton pants. Adult clothes look loose on him, but the ankle bands are sewn into the trouser hems, and they won't mop the floor, but they haven't worn clothes for a long time, and Xiao Ding Ding is a little uncomfortable from the crotch.

After bathing and changing into new clothes, Zhang Jiabao came to the top of the volcanic cone, and after some contemplation, he threw the three treasure coins up. The triangle formed by the falling, the acute angle of the midline just pointed to the setting sun, so he remembered that if he went west, he would find the master.

When he went to bed that night, Zhang Jiabao moved the firewood on the opposite side of the earthen platform, spread some hay and slept on the spot. When the fire was extinguished, I heard the conjoined people squirting and undressing their clothes, and it took a long time to get them right, and I thought that it was really painful to be a conjoined person.

Zhang Jiabao hadn't slept peacefully for a long time, and he barely closed his eyes in the last few days of the underground world. I slept until the sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the branches and doors, piercing the red under my eyelids. Su Qijingli had already gotten up, and Zhang Jiabao found them in a hot spring in the crater. They went to the forest in the morning to bring a nest of birds' eggs, which were now boiled in a tray of twigs with hooks, and boiled in the spring water, which was the hottest in the crater.

Zhang Jiabao went back to the cave and took the leftover rabbit meat from yesterday to the hot spring to soak it, and the three of them settled breakfast by the spring. The eggs should be some kind of jay, slightly smaller than the eggs, there are seven, Su Qijingli ate two each, and gave Zhang Jiabao three.

After eating, Zhang Jiabao said that he was going to go to the master and ask them what they were going to do. Su Qi Jingli happily expressed her willingness to go along, they had stayed in the barren mountains and mountains for too long, and they longed to see the outside world. But pack up your things first.

You are to bring a deerskin to sleep warmly, a sickle for fire and flint for the fire, and a rusty pair of scissors, a sickle for chopping wood, a ball of hemp rope, a knife for cutting flesh, and two sets of clothes.

Jingli wanted to bring the iron pot with her, but Su Qi couldn't help it, so she let her go. The deerskin was folded, and the knife, scissors, and sickle were sandwiched in it, and the fire sickle, flint, hemp rope, and two sets of clothes were placed in the pot, and two masses of articles of about the same size were stuffed into the sack, which might weigh fifty or sixty pounds together. They don't need to be carried by hand, they put it on the middle shoulder, sandwich it between the two heads and necks, tie the sack mouth and wrap it around the arm, and they can go on the road.

Finally, they took the two large stick bones that were used as weapons, and they said they were the thigh bones of a male horned deer. Ask Zhang Jiabao what he needs as a weapon, and if he wants to give him the sickle. Zhang Jiabao felt that it was still a long stick in his hand, and used a sickle to cut a well-proportioned hardwood and held it in his hand.

With everything done, the three of them piled up the stones, sealed the entrance to the cave, and headed west into the forest.

Su Qijingli told Zhang Jiabao that man-eating monsters don't like the smell of sulfur, and the closer they are to the volcano, the less they will be infested, but similarly, the farther away from the volcano, the greater the chance of encountering man-eating monsters. Zhang Jiabao asked them why they were able to survive alone in the forest at the age of seven or eight. They say that they have been stronger than their peers since childhood, and by the age of seven they are already able to carry the same weight as adults.

Their parents may have the blood of wolf demons, and when they were nine years old, the two encountered a tiger in the forest, Jingli was too scared, her face protruded forward, and her mouth turned into a wolf's mouth. When the tiger saw it, he walked away with his tail down. When he was eleven years old, when he was catching a male deer, Su Qi also conjured a wolf's mouth for the first time because of excitement and bit through the throat of the deer. As a commemoration, two of its thigh bones were taken as weapons and kept to this day.

At the age of thirteen, Su Qi Jingli ran too far away from the volcano while hunting and encountered a pair of mature (completely inhumane) man-eating monsters. The two fought hard, and were stimulated to grow wolf heads, and finally killed the two man-eating monsters. During this period, they were also scratched and bitten a lot of wounds, I don't know if it was because of the perennial sulfur hot springs, or because of the blood of the wolf demon in the body, they were not assimilated.

Now, when they make the blood in their bodies boil through some means, such as fighting, they can both conjure wolf heads, but the rest of their bodies cannot change for the time being.

The blood of the wolf demon has made most of their bodies have animal hair, and they have always been discriminated against. The bloodline may be impure, causing them to be conjoined twins, like monsters, the demon race does not want it, and the human race does not recognize it. But without this bloodline, they would not be alive today.

Everyone has their own story, Zhang Jiabao thought to himself, compared to them, he has lived a very happy life in the past ten years. The father and mother who lost their beloved son must be very unhappy now, right? He made up his mind that he must find the master as soon as possible, and then cross the abyss and go home.

The smell of the forest is very fresh, the trees are densely grown, the light spots of the sun falling overhead are like diamonds, and the sounds of various birds make people feel happy. Zhang Jiabao got playful and proposed a race. Su Qi Jingli didn't say yes, but suddenly ran up.

"me!"

Zhang Jiabao pointed at their backs and shouted, and chased after them. But he couldn't outrun three legs on two legs, and his stamina was not as good, and he didn't run long before he ran out of breath.

"Wait!" Su Qijingli suddenly stopped.

"I'm tired," Zhang Jiabao panted and continued to run, "I won't fall for you!" After overtaking them, he waved his arms proudly and turned around and shouted: "Oh, I won you, oh......"

"There are bears!" Su Qi Jingli said anxiously in the back.

Zhang Jiabao turned his head to see that there was a big black bear scratching on the trunk of the tree ten steps away, and the bear stopped when he saw him, staring at him with small eyes.

"Don't be afraid. Zhang Jiabao stretched out his right palm and spread it out to Xiong, "Your ancestor's ancestor is here, please make way." ”

The bear's ears moved, as if thinking. Then it stood up, its huge body was more than two meters high, opened its mouth and roared, and then landed on the ground with four palms, twisting its fat waist and rushing towards Zhang Jiabao.

"Damn!" Why did the Thousand Patterns fail? Or does it only work on underground creatures? Zhang Jiabao was so frightened that he hid behind Su Qi Jingli.

Dropping the sack on her shoulder, she raised her left hand, and Jing Li held a big stick bone in her right hand to resist the shoulder of the black bear who pounced. The force was so great that they kept sliding backwards. Bears are more powerful than tigers in some aspects, such as thick fat and stronger defense, and that slap can also smash a person's skull.

"Whew~"

With a hoarse and majestic roar, the black bear's body arched forward, the two big stick bones slipped off, and Su Qi Jingli was crushed to the ground. In the midst of all the danger, their skulls were deformed at the same time, and dense stubble quickly grew, and their eyes became yellow-brown oblique triangles.

"Wow~" "Wow~"

The two large wolf heads howled at the same time, their eyes shining fiercely, and saliva flowing from the gaps between their fangs. The black bear's mouth suddenly closed, stretched out its tongue and licked its nose, shaking its neck and walking backwards. Retreated to a dozen or so paces, trotted with four fat palms, and rushed into the dense forest.

Su Qi Jingli stood up, the wolf's mouth opened slightly, hanging her tongue and panting. Zhang Jiabao was a little afraid to step forward. After a while, their bodily functions slowly calmed down and they reverted back to human form.

"I'm sorry. Zhang Jiabao apologized.

"It's okay, we used to try to hide when we saw a bear, we just fought, and I think we can fight. Su Qi said.

"Wait a minute. Zhang Jiabao came up with an idea that could make them more powerful. He took out the iron pot, sickle, and knife from the sack, compared the inner diameters of the two handles of the iron pot, and with the sickle he cut a branch of about the same thickness, cut it into the shape of a plank and threaded it into the two ends of the handle, and inserted a wooden strip between the grip and the plank, and tamped it. Finally, use a knife to dig a long, narrow and smooth hole in the middle of the plank, and the edges of the plank on both sides of the hole are also rounded. Such a strong shield helmet suitable for them was made.

"What is this?"

"Pick it up with the arm between you and try it. Zhang Jiabao said to Su Qijingli. The two of them picked it up, and since their arms were only attached to the back of their hands, their fingers were separated, just enough to hold the grip in the middle of the plank.

"I found that you have a lot of strength in your middle arm, but it has never been useful, and now you have offense and defense. This iron pot shield can not only block knives and guns, but also can be used to smash people. ”

Su Qi Jingli couldn t help but twist his head that was very close to each other and looked at each other, why didn't they think of this trick, in the past, the middle arm was used by you for a while, and I used it for a while.

"What do you use for cooking?" Jing Li said suddenly.

"It's okay, it's a shield when you fight, it's a pot when you're not fighting, although it's a little inconvenient to add a wooden plank, it's still okay to cook. Zhang Jiabao looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl.
