It turns out that the fifth master is very uninteresting!

The name Hawksbill Island comes from the shape of the entire island, which resembles a giant hawksbill turtle. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, the head of the "tortoiseshell" is the highest peak of the whole island, where the tortoiseshell peak is located, and the large area of land under the peak was originally very flat, but because it is a den of sea bandits, it is necessary to take into account the dual threat of peers and imperial court sailors, and also have to take into account the crisis of the nest, so it is full of defenses such as rejecting horses and deer firewood, and a lot of trenches have been dug.

The specific number of Ming Diao Hidden Forts is estimated to be not necessarily clear to the grandchildren.

The four gentle slopes that extend into the sea are like the four legs of the "tortoiseshell", but the two legs on the left side are almost like the font "eight", which naturally surrounds a good harbor - this is the reason why the Gongsun family chose this place as a stronghold - the two feet on the right side are like an upside-down "eight", facing the wind and waves at sea, and cannot be used as a port to dock.

As the owner of Tortoiseshell Island, the Gongsun clan settlement is located at the neck of the "Tortoiseshell".

Now the valley where they are going to send the fifth master is at the intersection of the tortoiseshell peak and the "right forefoot".

On the way, Gongsun Yingdun explained: "There are a lot of pheasants and hares there, as well as small beasts such as muntjac and flower-faced civets, which can be used by the fifth master to hunt and eat. On top of that, there is a spring in it, which is not big, but the water is quite sweet. If it weren't for the fact that there is a well on the island, the water is not too undrinkable, and we would have arranged for someone to go there every day to fetch water. ”

"I heard your sister say last time that she sent someone to bring a leg of mutton to the fifth day of the junior high school?" Sheng Weiqiao didn't want to call a beast to be a "master", and when he heard this, he wondered, "Isn't there enough little beasts in the valley, and they are hungry all day on the fifth day of the first month?"

"My sister did that for a reason: at the beginning of the year, Han Pan joined forces to sneak attack, and our grandfather died at sea. Gongsun Yingdun squinted his eyes, his expression complicated for a moment, and then said, "Originally, after the little uncle saved our father, my father didn't let him go back to save others." But he still fought back and pushed our sister and brother onto the clipper that Daddy was waiting for. It's just that in this way, he himself was tripped by the enemy and couldn't get out, so he could only help cut off the flying claw rope hook that was nailed into the clipper, urging my father to take us away!"

"At that time, my father thought that the little uncle would not survive, so he seized the last time and asked him if he had any wishes, and he said: Take care of the fifth brother!"

"Later, we withdrew all the way to Tortoiseshell Island, and the first thing my father did was to call the fifth master to him, let me and my sister kneel and bow to it, and set the title of the fifth master, so that we would treat it as an elder from now on - and then I discussed it with my sister and decided that each person should be on duty for a month, and when it was his turn, he would either personally or send someone to the valley every day to visit the fifth master, although the fifth master generally did not lack anything, but to visit the elders, you can't go empty-handed, right?"

Sheng Weiqiao didn't expect that the big black cat with elegant steps not far away could be called "master" by a pair of children of the sea lord, and there was such an inside story, she was curious: "Your little uncle likes leopards very much?"

Although Sheng Sleeping Crane himself didn't call the leopard "master", it was strange enough to call "fifth brother", after all, his father and brother were the heads of the family these years, how could he call his pet brother casually?

"I heard from the elders that when the little uncle just came to the island, it was the fifth brother who saved him. Gongsun Yingdun spread his hands, "That time the little uncle was plotted by his own people in the valley, and he almost didn't survive, and at the critical moment, it was the fifth brother who attacked and bit the man's throat, and the little uncle picked up his life." It was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the little uncle named the fifth master and called him the fifth brother. After that, as long as the little uncle was on the island, he would go to the valley to practice martial arts almost every day, and play with the fifth master by the way. ”

"That Brother Hengshu has a great relationship with this Fifth Master!" Xu Baomo was also a little surprised when he heard this, "The Fifth Master bit the throat of the person who plotted against Brother Hengshu at that time, and didn't he continue to attack Brother Hengshu?"

Gongsun Yingdun thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be true, right? After all, my father told me about this, and my father said that it was late when he saw that day, but the little uncle never came back, and he felt that something was wrong, so he went out to find it." After going around the island, Fang saw his little uncle covered in blood in the valley. In that situation, if the fifth master wanted to attack the little uncle, the little uncle would have died a long time ago!"

Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo glanced at each other, and they were both interested in the fifth master: "That's really strange, I don't know why it is merciful?"

"Maybe it's because the little uncle is good-looking, and he can't bear it?" Gongsun Yingdun quipped, "My father wanted to recognize the little uncle as his younger brother back then, but he thought that the little uncle was too good-looking, and it was too tyrannical to be a slave - my father is definitely not the only one who judges people by his appearance in this world, maybe the fifth master is also like this? Isn't there a saying that if you don't enter a family, you don't enter a family?"

Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo seemed to be thoughtful, as if they really believed it, he smiled, coughed dryly, and said, "Actually, I heard my grandfather mention this, my grandfather said that it was because the little uncle was lucky, and he fell to the ground and couldn't move after being plotted. ”

"But Rao is like this, and it is very strange that Brother Hengshu can get along with it in peace, and he can also make it not hurt the people on the island. Xu Baomo was slightly embarrassed when he said this, he originally planned to look at the same place along the way, if the fifth master still didn't make any moves, then use the sea melon seeds that he had just hidden as a secret weapon to sneak attack this stupid leopard, and take the opportunity of it being provoked to have a successful hero save the beauty.

The reason why it is said that the successful hero saves the beauty is because when he faced Han Shaozhu at sea last time, he felt that although he tried his best to mediate, judging from Sheng Weiqiao's later sword cutting off Han Shaozhu's head - did he not let his Da Qiao feel protected at all that time?!

Otherwise, after Young Master Han was pierced through the chest by Sheng Sleeping Crane's arrow, his big Qiao should have jumped into his arms and "duh", instead of sending Young Master Han on the road by himself!

But I didn't expect this silly leopard to be the life-saving leopard of Sheng Sleeping Crane - judging from Sheng Sleeping Crane's call it "Fifth Brother" and not forgetting it when he confessed his last words, he obviously attached great importance to it, and he definitely didn't look at it as a beast or a pet!

In this case, Xu Baomo couldn't help but be embarrassed to use it, especially to use it in a way that hurt it.

"Forget it, let Da Qiao fall in love with this world, it's not only a hero to save the beauty!" Xu Baomo was disappointed, so he comforted himself, "Besides, I accompanied Da Qiao out for a walk today, and I will see the right scenery later, and this son will write a poem on the spot, maybe I can please Da Qiao?"

Thinking so, he hurriedly looked around, trying to find a poetic angle from this bandit base camp - of course, before composing a poem, he had to throw away the sea melon seeds in his hand!

But if you do this, there is a trouble: at the moment, it is Gongsun Yingdun, Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo who are sending the fifth day of the middle school back to the valley, as well as Sheng Weiqiao's maid Luqi.

The valley where they are going now is not a place where people come and go, so of course it is impossible for the bandits to build the road as flat and spacious as the official road, so they can only go in twos and two: Gongsun Yingdun and the fifth day of the first month will lead the way, walking in the front, Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo in the middle, and Lu Qi will follow behind.

Originally, Xu Baomo was very satisfied with this order, after all, his big Qiao was by his side.

Now if you want to throw the sea melon seeds, you can't help but feel that the green qi behind you is very in the way - after a short thought, Xu Baomo decided: "After you get to the valley, you will throw it away! At that time, everyone will definitely have to walk around and see the spring water or something, I will just find a place to get rid of this sea melon seed!"

Half an hour later, they stepped into the valley where they usually roost on the fifth day of the new month, a place where few people came, and the only path was hidden in the grass that grew wildly in this season, and it was impossible to distinguish it unless it was carefully recognized.

However, the scenery in the valley is excellent, with lush vegetation and lush seedlings.

The steep cliffs are crawled with vines such as sageli, dijin, dill, Lingxiao, etc., the splendid wildflowers attract colorful butterflies and bees to come and go, and the symphony of finches and insects is mixed with the "whooshing" sound of the tide in the distance.

After walking about three or four miles inside, Sheng Weiqiao and Lu Qi already felt a little tired, and were about to ask when they were going to go, when they suddenly heard the sound of water Ding Dong, Gongsun Yingdun smiled and said: "It's going to be there soon! Let's send the fifth master to the spring, I'll go to catch some game for my aunt, and ask my aunt to taste my craft—the little uncle has a cave by the spring, and there is a lot of firewood and rice and noodle seasoning in it, so we don't have to go back to get something, we can have a fresh meal!"

He followed him for less than a mile through the lush woods, during which the sound of the water became clearer and clearer.

Eventually, a pine tree that had grown for hundreds of years and could take five or six people to hug each other, the sound of the water was suddenly clear, and the sight of the water was suddenly clear: although the pool was not large, the bubbling water in the center was extremely lively and clear, and even if you stood by the tree, the water vapor in your face was also distinctly sweet.

The waterhole is also connected to a narrow stream, winding and winding, and the direction is to enter the sea.

"The little uncle named the waterhole Ganlai Spring. Gongsun Yingdun smiled and walked a few steps faster and introduced them, "The cave is over there, it was originally just a cave, and it was dug by the little uncle who often came to the valley to spend the night, and dug it out with his own hands for convenience. ”

They followed curiously, but they saw that the mountain wall covered with lily was so full that they couldn't see the entrance at all.

It was Gongsun Yingdun who picked up a handful of vines with familiarity, revealing a swarthy hole: Xu Baomo is okay, Sheng Weiqiao and Lu Qi are girls in the end, but they are a little retreating when they see this situation.

Even though Gongsun Yingdun went first to light the torches, they only stood at the door and looked around, and roughly saw that the cave was about the size of a room, and they had set up beds, tables, chairs and other household items, thinking that in order to prevent insects and animals, the food and seasonings were either locked in the cabinet, or nails were nailed on the top of the cave and hung up.

Seeing that Sheng Weiqiao didn't want to stay in the cave for a long time, Gongsun Yingdun and Xu Baomo also came out quickly and decided to catch game.

Although the fifth day of the junior high school is a well-deserved overlord in this valley, and he looks very humane, whether it is Gongsun Yingdun or Xu Baomo, he will definitely not dare to let Sheng Weiqiao's master and servant be left alone. After a little discussion between the two, it was decided that Gongsun Yingdun, who was familiar with the terrain and was also good at catching prey, would catch the prey, and Xu Baomo would stay with the two girls and wait.

Xu Baomo watched Gongsun Yingdun's dexterous jumps disappear into the dense forest, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: I finally have a chance to solve the handful of sea melon seeds in my hand!

He smiled and said to Sheng Weiqiao: "Gongsun Gongzi said that this spring water is very sweet, do you want to taste it?" But when you are close to the water's edge, let the maid pull it, so as not to slide down unintentionally." ”

Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what he was thinking, and said happily: "If it's delicious, Brother Shi will taste it later!"

Seeing the master and servant walking towards the waterhole, he hurriedly threw the sea melon seeds in his hand into the most lush grass nearby, and was about to rub his palm a few times on the moss of the tree next to him when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing out of the corner of his eye!

Following Sheng Weiqiao's master and servant exclaimed, he ran over with the corner of his skirt, and said in a hurry: "Brother Shi?!"

They were going to lean down to taste the spring water, but suddenly saw the first day of the new year lying on the side of the spring get up and pounced on Xu Baomo's side, only to say that the fifth day of the first month was fierce and wanted to hurt people - who thought of it, but saw that Xu Baomo was intact, and the fifth day of the first month did not mean to hurt him, between one person and one leopard, there were a lot of fried sea melon seeds, which looked like they were in the plate that Sheng Weiqiao wanted to give to his subordinates to eat!

- Do you need to ask about this situation?

It must have been Xu Baomo who quietly grabbed a handful of sea melon seeds and wanted to eat them, but he was targeted by the greedy fifth year of the first month, and Xu Baomo was startled when he ran over to beg for food, so he scattered them on the ground!

"......" Xu Baomo's face stiffened as he looked at the fifth year of junior high school who flicked his tail and licked the grease off his palm, only to feel that it was dark in front of him!

"Brother Shi, this is my mistake, I never expected Brother Shi to like to eat sea melon seeds so much!" After the indescribable embarrassment, Sheng Weiqiao admitted his mistake with a red face, "I didn't ask someone to bring you a double tooth curle, please try it too!"

Hearing Sheng Weiqiao's exclamation, Gongsun Yingdun, who was worried about an accident and turned back, happened to see this scene, and he was also busy making amends: "Lord Shizi, it is the negligence of our sister and brother! Because our father and uncle don't like to eat this, but you don't like to eat snacks either, so I didn't ask the kitchen to send it to you—Brother Shi, please rest assured! There are only the most sea melon seeds around Tortoiseshell Island this season, and I will explain to the people below when I go back, and I will never snub you again!"

- No!!!

Xu Baomo's whole person is collapsed at the moment!

Ben Shizi doesn't like to eat sea melon seeds at all - Ben Shizi just can't find something that can be used as a secret weapon temporarily, and wants to use sea melon seeds instead!!

Looking at Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingdun, who were scrambling to admit their mistakes, and the stupid leopard with a face full of begging for feeding, Xu Baomo just wanted to be quiet now.

…… Don't ask him who Jingjing is.

Note: When I was a child, I saw in wildlife science books that the escape method for encountering a leopard was to pretend to be dead, but I don't know if it's true or not.
