After some discussion, Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran decided to follow the old hunter to Gongxiong Ridge to collect herbs for the injured.

After waiting in place for a while, the old hunter quickly walked back with a hound.

Seeing the hound led by the old hunter, Qin Xiusheng's eyes couldn't help but widen. The hounds, although they are large, are clearly old. The older the hunter gets, the more experienced he becomes, but the hound is different. As the dogs get older, their mobility and sense of smell will deteriorate dramatically, and they can't figure out why the old hunter would carry such an old hound with him.

Seeing the doubts in Luo Ziran and Qin Xiusheng's eyes, the old hunter reached out and stroked the hound's ear, and said, "Don't look at its age, but it won't lose to the young hound at all." It has been with me since I was a child, and it has saved my life, so it can be said that it is my best partner. ”

Although Luo Ziran and Qin Xiusheng were still full of doubts in their hearts, since the old hunter said so, they could only agree.

"Keep up with me, I won't wait for you if you're slow. With that, the old hunter led the hound and walked out of the village. Seeing the old hunter's vigorous pace, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but look sideways slightly. Don't look at his age, but the speed of walking is even faster than Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran, and the two of them are already oozing sweat from their foreheads just by following him.

Leaving the village, he hadn't gone far before Qin Xiusheng noticed a fire in front of him. The old hunter slowed down and explained, "That's the torches of the hunters in the village. In order to protect the village, they will patrol the village all night tonight and will not let a single bear approach the village. ”

Qin Xiusheng nodded, and secretly showed a heartfelt respect for the hunter in his heart. Although it is around the village, it is also a very dangerous thing to have a bear that has just attacked the village at night when you can't see your fingers, and if you don't get it right, you will be attacked by wild beasts in secret. But in order to protect the village, these hunters carried out patrols without hesitation.

The three of them continued on, and finally came to the firelight. From a distance, what the old hunter said was indeed right, there was indeed a team of hunters patrolling. They held torches in one hand and shotguns in the other. Everyone's face was very tense, and it could be seen that only a little abnormality was found, and they were able to respond in time.

The hunters also found Qin Xiusheng and the three of them, and the hunters led by him turned pale and pointed their guns at this side. When he saw the old hunter's face clearly, his face softened, and he lowered the shotgun in his hand.

Running to the old hunter's side, he bowed slightly to the old hunter and said, "It's so late, you still have to leave the village?"

The old hunter nodded, and replied, "Someone in the village was injured when he was attacked by a bear, and we are going to Bear Ridge to collect medicine." ”

Hearing the old hunter's words, the young hunter's face changed significantly, "You want to take them to Bear Ridge?" although I know that you are experienced and have extremely accurate marksmanship. But going to Bear Ridge on a night like this is ...... even you."

Listening to the conversation between the old and new hunters, Qin Xiusheng could clearly feel that in the hearts of these hunters, the status of the old hunter was very high. This also made Qin Xiusheng feel a little relieved, with such an experienced hunter leading the way, although Gongxiong Ridge was very dangerous, but it gave him more hope in his heart.

The old hunter waved his hand, shook the shotgun in his hand, and said, "I also know that it is very dangerous to go to Bear Ridge on a night like this. But these outsiders can ignore the danger in order to save the villagers, how can I, a villager, stand by and watch?"

Hearing the old hunter's words, the young hunter couldn't help but sigh. He hesitated, then said, "Let me go with you." The hunters who remained in the village were enough, believing that it would be more than enough to deal with the attacks of the bears. I'm going with you, and one more person is one more security. ”

The old hunter shook his head and refused, "No. You are now the captain of the hunters in the village. Tonight the situation is urgent, and the safety of the village is all in your hands. At this point you have to stay here and take command of the whole picture. Moreover, you should be very aware of the danger of Bear Ridge, even if you go with us, if you do encounter a bear, I am afraid it will not help. ”

The young hunter hesitated and wanted to say something, but was glared at by the old hunter and said in a deep voice, "To be a captain is to have the appearance of a captain." You have to remember that our mission is to keep the village safe, and you as the captain must especially keep this in mind and never get emotional. ”

The old hunter had already said this, and the captain of the hunter could only sigh helplessly, nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the safety of the village." Tonight, not even a rabbit will let it come near the village. ”

Hearing the Captain Hunter's answer, the old hunter nodded with satisfaction. He gently patted the captain of the hunter on the shoulder, and said in a tone of an old-timer, "Our trip to Bear Ridge this time is unpredictable. If something happens to me, you must shoulder your responsibilities and protect the safety of the village. ”

The captain of the hunter nodded solemnly and assured the old hunter, "I promise you that as long as I am here, no one or animal can harm the village." You must also promise me that you will return safely from Bear Ridge. ”

The old hunter nodded, then waved his hand slightly, turned to Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran and said, "Let's keep walking, Gongxiong Ridge is still some distance from here, I'm afraid I won't be able to last long looking at the appearance of the injured, we can't waste a little time." ”

Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran nodded at the same time, keeping up with the old hunter's footsteps. Under the gaze of the hunters, the figures of the three slowly disappeared into the night.

After walking a short distance, the old hunter suddenly frowned. He stopped, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal Qin Xiusheng and the others to stop.

Seeing the old hunter's actions, Qin Xiusheng asked suspiciously, "What happened......

Before Qin Xiusheng could finish speaking, the old hunter stretched out his hand to plan him. He put his finger between his mouth and whispered, "Don't speak, something is following us." ”

Hearing the old hunter's words, Qin Xiusheng and Luo Ziran cheered up at the same time. The two looked around vigilantly, but found nothing suspicious.

Just when the two of them were full of doubts, the old hunter raised the shotgun in his hand, pointed at a bush behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Friends in the back, come out and meet." I know you're hiding there, and if you don't come out, I'm going to shoot. ”

As he spoke, the old hunter put his finger on the trigger, ready to fire the loaded bullet at any moment.
