Chapter 18: Meet He Xiaoren Again
Zhang Xiaopaw knew that the reason why he sent more than 50 people back to deliver meat at a time was that there were more people who could be brave and did not have to be afraid of the Shuanglonggou Canyon, and second, in case someone saw the red eyes and did the robbers who blocked the road and robbed.
Niu Dawa is strong and can fight, it is most appropriate to send him back, and by the way, let him go home to see how his Laozi's injury is recovering, so that he will have been worried about it in his heart.
With the meat and bones and bone broth, Zhang Xiaopai ate four corn tortillas beautifully, burped twice, and touched his bulging belly, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten such a full meal.
Because of the lack of water, Zhang Xiaopaw has not taken a bath since entering the mountain, including after the fierce battle at the mouth of the canyon, he only wet the towel with water and wiped the blood stains and sludge on his body, so when he heard that there was a stream, he couldn't wait to take a bath, because his body was sticky like a layer of paste, and it was already stinky.
A trap has been laid on the side of the stream, and the champions took Zhang Xiaopaw to the upper reaches and found a relatively open position on the water surface, the water is very shallow, not up to the waist, but it is very clear, Zhang Xiaopaw washed it happily.
Under the faint moonlight, Zhang Xiaoshu's dark and compact skin reflects the bronze color, and the well-proportioned muscle lines are like carefully outlined by the painter, and the bulging muscles seem to contain infinite strength.
The champions looked at Zhang Xiaopu's sturdy and full body, and then looked at their thin body like bean sprouts, and their hearts were full of frustration.
Zhang Xiaopaw waved his fist, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his strength had grown a lot, and there was even a feeling of endless and endless, this feeling made him can't help but have a bold idea, if he encounters those bullies in the big family again, he can fight ten at a time.
The night was quiet.
Zhang Xiaopaw fell asleep for a day and couldn't sleep for a while, so he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the vigil and let the two people who were on the vigil go to sleep.
He added some firewood to the fire, sprinkled a handful of yellow powder into it, and suddenly a fresh fragrance spread in the air. This powder is specially prepared by the old village chief, mosquito repellent and insect repellent has a miraculous effect, sprinkle such a handful into the fire, there will be no mosquitoes in a radius of dozens of steps, and the effect can last for several hours.
After doing this, Zhang Xiaopaw climbed a big tree, sat on a thick branch, leaned his back on the trunk, pillowed his hands, and looked at the starry sky through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
Under the trees, the sound of snoring shook the sky.
Zhang Xiaopaw knew that everyone slept soundly, because a big stone that had been pressing on their hearts for a long time had finally been put down, and the Black Forest did not disappoint them, there was water, wild vegetables and wild fruits, and prey, which made them truly see the hope of life. The body and mind were completely relaxed, and with a good meal in the broth in the evening, everyone slept soundly.
Looking back on the experience of the past two days, Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but feel a trance in his heart, as if he was in a dream, not real at all, but the hunting knife on his legs really told him that everything was real. Thinking of yesterday's life-and-death battle, for some reason, he was only a little afraid in his heart, but more excited.
Zhang Xiaopu felt as if there was a fierce beast in his body, and yesterday's battle had awakened the beast and opened the cage for it, and it couldn't wait to break out of the cage.
"Pawn, I'll keep watch, you go to sleep. Li Dahe woke up in the second half of the night and wanted to change shifts with Zhang Xiaopaw.
Zhang Xiaopaw was indeed a little sleepy, and he was about to come down from the tree in response to the sound softly, when suddenly a sound of Si Suo Suo came to his ears, interrupting his movements. He made a silent gesture towards Li Dahe under the tree, and pointed in the direction where the sound came from.
Li Dahe nodded, he also heard.
The sound was approaching at a very fast speed, and the sound of a soo just now had become a scraping sound, like footsteps, but it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a human or an animal.
"What's the sound?" Zhang Youxiong woke up, worthy of being an old hunter, and he was very alert when he slept.
"I don't know if it's a man or a beast, call the big guy up. Li Dahe answered, and at the same time ran to wake up the sleeping people one by one.
After this moment, the sound was much closer, and Zhang Xiaopaw squatted on the tree and heard clearly, it was the footsteps of people stepping on the dead branches and leaves, mixed with low cursing and faint crying. The sound is cluttered and cannot be heard clearly.
"It should be people, there are about six or seven footsteps, approaching us. Zhang Xiaopaw told the people under the tree his judgment.
"Well, it's a man, seven. Zhang Youxiong said. The tone was affirmative, and it was clear that he had clearly discerned.
"Cheer up, be careful! In the middle of the night, I didn't look for a place to rest, but I was scurrying around in the deep mountains and old forests, there must be a problem. Li Dahe reminded. After the battle at the mouth of the canyon, he has gained new insights, one person against ten people, and it is not necessarily that one person who loses. So no matter how many people the other party is, it's always right to be careful.
As soon as Li Dahe reminded him, everyone picked up the hunting knife vigilantly.
After a while, the voices narrowed to a hundred paces, and although they could not see the figures clearly in the night, they could already be heard.
I heard one person shouting excitedly: "Look, there is a fire ahead! Haha, there are people, we are saved!"
"Haha, there is no endless road!"
"Saved, saved!"
"Hurry!
Seeing the fire in front of them, several other people were also excited. Listening to their conversation, it seems that something dangerous has happened and they are fleeing.
"Holy shit, it's them!" Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly scolded.
"Pawn, do you see who is on the other side?" asked the person under the tree curiously, I don't know who the person on the other side is making Zhang Pawn so angry.
"It was too dark to read, but I recognized the voice of one of them. Zhang Xiaopaw responded, "It's the bastard at the mouth of the canyon who jumped out to report and expose us in order to curry favor with the bully blocking the road!"
After that, Zhang Xiaopaw jumped directly from the tree and greeted him with a hunting knife.
Hearing that it was that person, the people of Zhangliu Village, especially Zhangjia Village, were angry and rushed to their heads. In their opinion, the reason why things have developed into an irreparably bad situation is all because the man came out and added fuel to the fire, otherwise no one would have been injured, let alone died tragically.
"Holy shit, I'm going to hack that bastard to death!" the champion shouted, and ran out with a hunting knife, unable to pull it.
"Don't be impulsive!" Zhang Youxiong hurriedly followed, although he was angry in his heart, but he still didn't want to see the two sides fighting with knives, they were all suffering in the cracks Haha, why hurt each other.
Li Dahe ordered a few people to follow with torches, and he and the rest of the people stayed in place, guarding equipment and dry food.
Zhang Xiaopaw was indeed overshadowed by anger, thinking that he would give that person a few knives when they met, and then let him kneel on the ground and kowtow to admit his mistake, if he dared to say half a "no", he would kill him with a knife. However, when the seven people on the other side appeared in his field of vision, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his anger gradually subsided.
The people who followed behind him, the angry champion and others, after seeing the seven people opposite, all reacted in the same way as Zhang Xiaopu. Because the situation of the seven people on the other side is so miserable, so miserable that people really can't be angry.
The seven people in Daqiao Village, led by He Xiaoren, were covered with blood and mud from head to toe, and their clothes were tattered, as if they had been torn by wild dogs.
After He Xiaoren recognized the people from Zhang Xiaopaw and Zhang Liu Village, he was stunned for a moment, and then knelt directly in front of Zhang Xiaopaw, crying and begging: "Adults, help!"
"Adults, save us!"
"Please, save us!"
"Woo-"
The other six also knelt down, some pleading, some lying on the ground and crying, unable to speak.
Several old men lay on the ground and cried, crying into tears, which made people feel sad.
"What's wrong with you, what about the others?" asked Zhang Youxiong.
"Dead, all dead. He Xiaoren said.
