Chapter 12: The Falcon Soars

It was late at night, but it was not quiet in the deep mountains and old forests, and all kinds of unknown animals that came out of the night were busy without delay in order to eat. In the depths of the darkness, the tragic killings of life and death, bloody and cruel, are being staged in a big drama that no one watches.

Listening to the sound of chasing from time to time, Wang Baoshan and the three of them were shocked, this mountainous area was far more terrifying than what they had passed before, and they couldn't help but marvel at this Orion father and son, and have more admiration, fortunately they met them, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Ho... Bang Bang Bang..."

Suddenly, after the sound of wings crackling, a dark shadow landed on Luo Orion's right shoulder without warning, startling the few people who followed him.

When he looked at it, Wang Baoshan found that it was a goshawk, only to see that this goshawk stood as tall as a six-year-old child, with full and plump wings, a sharp beak like a scimitar, and sharp claws like an iron hook firmly grasping the shoulder gown on Luo Orion's right shoulder.

"That's take-off" The young man Luo Ying looked at it, because of the sudden panic, the three people who were about to run away said coldly.

"What?" Du Xiaosan swallowed with difficulty.

"His name is Tengfei, my goshawk. ”

Wang Baoshan heard the young Luo Ying say that it was raised by them, and his panicked heart was a lot more relieved, he knew that the wild goshawk was fierce and insidious and cunning, and he would also pounce on poultry when he was hungry. I have heard from the villagers that the birds of prey in the deep mountains and old forests will fly out to catch the sheep in the fields during the famine years, and even the most ferocious dogs are afraid of it.

"Take off..."Sanpi patted his chest and calmed down. I thought how could the goshawk be born so fiercely, and it came and went silently, almost scaring him half to death. And he gave it this name, and when he thought about the word Tengfei again, he didn't feel a little familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, he patted his head before he remembered that the city lord of Guanping City was not named Li Tengfei?

After walking for about a meal, the group of five of them arrived at an open area on the mountainside, and several thatched huts made of trees and thatched roofs appeared in front of everyone.

Luo Orion held the torch, pushed the door into the thatched hut in the middle, put down the goshawk, lit the oil lamp, and beckoned Wang Baoshan and the three of them into the house, and arranged to sit down. asked his son Luo Ying to boil some water so that he could make some tea to entertain the guests.

"Are you hungry?" he asked, and then he took a clay pot of cooked meat and placed it in front of Wang Baoshan and the others. Then he said, "There is no good food in the mountains and wilderness, so you will eat some."

Wang Baoshan saw that Luo Orion was so hospitable, not only brought them over for the night, but also took out meat for them to eat, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Hurriedly shouted: "How dare you... How dare you..."

The three of them felt very fortunate that they could meet noble people to help them in this dangerous and inexplicable place in the deep mountains and old forests.

They have all lived a long and miserable life in succession, and have been touched with a little meat at some time. At this time, faced with a large pot of cooked meat from an unknown animal, I couldn't help but have my eyes shining, my index finger moved, and the three of them devoured it together.

"Delicious..."

"Hmph... Delicious..."

In contrast, the temptation of meat is huge, and no one can hold it, and Wang Baoshan is no exception. They ate with greasy mouths, completely ignoring how embarrassed they were, and even used their hands together, picked up pieces of meat and stuffed them directly into their mouths. He chewed and swallowed, then hurried to get the rest of the meat.

At this time, they only hated their own bodies, and they lacked a hand, and they ate very pleasantly. Like a starving ghost who hasn't eaten meat for hundreds of years, he applauds the food while eating, and hums and chirps with satisfaction.

Among the three of them, if you want to say that you are poor and poor, it is Wang Baoshan, who has lived on the edge of the food and clothing line since he was a child. Today, because of the blessing of misfortune, it can be regarded as a meat and fish, let him eat it well, and there is only the rumored delicacy in the world, which makes his body and mind get great satisfaction.

Compared with him, Sanpi's previous life was much stronger, and he was mixed in Guanping City since he was a child, although his life was tight, but there was always a time when he mixed well, and there was still a time when he ate meat and drank wine.

And Du Xiaosan is not to mention, in addition to the recent hardships, in the past by the master's side, living in the academy, the standard of living is not comparable to ordinary people, what kind of delicacies and seas have not been eaten! Even if he came out to study later, he also lived in the store, and the food and drink were not bad, and his body was always entangled enough.

Of course, Luo Orion didn't know about their past. He saw that the three of them were eating happily, but there was no expression on their faces, and they were still calm. After watching them eat a large pot of cooked meat, he asked coldly, "How is it...... Is it delicious?"

Wang Baoshan looked at him with a cold face, thinking that Luo Orion was blaming the three of them, and ate a large pot of cooked meat cleanly, without any courtesy. He hurriedly apologized: "Thank you Uncle Luo for his kindness and hospitality to us with meat, and I never thought that we would eat it all, what a sin! If you don't have overnight food, I am willing to take this millet to thank you." With that, he took out the bag of rice he had carried on his back and placed it on the table made of twigs.

"No, you still need these millets for your journey. We can still get a little meat, in the deep mountains and old forests, there is nothing else, and there is still a lot of game meat. Luo Orion nodded and smiled reluctantly, he was very satisfied with Wang Baoshan's approach.

"Uncle Luo, what kind of meat is this, why is it so delicious that it makes people's mouths linger?" Du Xiaosan is also used to eating rare game, but he can't remember for a while what kind of meat he just ate.

"Haha..."When Luo Orion heard his question, he didn't answer, but laughed out loud.

His smile didn't matter, but Wang Baoshan and the three couldn't help but be frightened. I often hear the old man say that there are many strange things in the deep mountains and old forests, but they have just been to the ghostly mass grave, and they think about it before and after, and the two hunters in front of them, one big and one small, are not all turned into ghosts, and they are invited to eat the flesh of the dead.

Before they could think about it, Luo Orion seemed to see their hearts, and immediately said: "Don't think about it, my father and son depend on each other for their lives, and they have been hunting in this mountain for many years, and they don't know what that thing is..."

"That thing?" the three of them couldn't help but be even more surprised.

"Well, the thing I'm talking about has something to do with this goshawk I raised......"

Next, Luo Orion told them about a strange incident that happened last night.

It turned out that this Luo Orion and his son had been setting traps during the day, arranging traps, and then hunting at night. At the beginning, it was not smooth, and there were few prey, and sometimes it was difficult to hunt decent prey, except for some small animals such as hares and mountain rats, the others were never successful. Moreover, there are many fierce beasts in the mountains and wilderness, and if you are not careful, you will have to be in danger. In the past, life was also tight, and it was barely able to survive.

Later, for some reason, his son picked up a young goshawk that had not been hatching long ago at the foot of an unknown cliff. Seeing that it was still alive, I took it home. Under careful feeding, the little goshawk grows up day by day. According to the methods of the predecessors who trained falcons, Luo Orion trained them in the skills of hunting day and night, and gradually their lives improved.

Due to the help of the falcons, they began to hunt more prey, and they could occasionally hunt larger prey such as wild sheep and deer. If you can't eat enough prey, you can also carry it to the villages and towns below the mountain to exchange for some money and buy other things.

It's been like that until now. Until last night, when Luo Orion took his son and falcon to the trap that had been set up during the day, they found the trap intact, and there was no stupid thing that did not know whether to live or die, and they were greatly annoyed. It was an excellent place they had surveyed for days, and they had been planning for a long time, and they had carefully arranged a trap that they would not have discovered if they had not known it beforehand. Now there is nothing to be left behind, so how can people not be disappointed and despaired?

Finally, I didn't sleep at night and ran out to hunt, how could there be a reason to return empty-handed. So they planned to look for a few other traps to see if they could get something out of it.

But just then, a dark shadow scurried past them, rushing forward like an arrow. Luo Orion, in line with the skills he had cultivated over many years of hunting, immediately bent his bow and arrows, swished a few times, and shot a few arrows. To his surprise, the black shadow scurried left and right, his figure was erratic, and he shot a few arrows, but he didn't hit a single arrow. Normally, he doesn't miss an arrow, although he can't hit a hundred shots, but there are nine times out of ten, what happened today?

Although the night was dark and they couldn't really see it, even the pair of night vision eyes they had cultivated in the black for many years couldn't see what the black shadow was? But seeing that the prey in his hand was about to slip away, where could he tolerate it, Luo Orion's fighting spirit was also ignited, and if he didn't kill the black shadow, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep when he went back.

With a thought in his mind, he hurriedly patted the falcon on his right shoulder, and gestured for it to track the black shadow first, and he also took his son and hurriedly chased away.

In the running and chasing, time passes little by little. I don't know how long I chased it, how many peaks I climbed, how many forests I crossed, and the black shadow escaped to the mass grave that Wang Baoshan and the three of them saw.

Regarding the mass grave, Luo Orion knew very well, knowing that it was a place where he would not come during the day, and he would not come to this mountainous area even if it was difficult before. Today, in order to chase the black shadow, I actually ran over, and I was also shocked in my heart. Due to the eerie and terrifying mass grave and the ghost fire drifting, Luo Orion did not dare to chase it anymore, so he had to stay on the edge.

Looking up, the black shadow ran into the depths and stopped, apparently tired of running.

Through the ghost fire in the moonlight, I saw that it was as black as ink, and it looked like a goat, but it was not sure. In the glow of the ghostly fire, the black shadow was looking at Luo Orion and his son with eyes that shone with a miserable green light.

When Luo Orion saw those strange eyes, he was terrified in his heart, and his courage was much smaller. His heart was pounding for a while, his scalp was numb, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Whoosh..."

Just as he was in a state of panic, a quick arrow shot in an instant, blinking and striking the shadow.

The swift arrow shot and hit the shadow, and the Orion heard only one arrow, and it was done. Turning his head, it turned out to be his son Luo Ying, who calmly attacked and hit with an arrow.
