Guo Song's casual words untied a knot in Gan Lei's heart for many years, why the master has sometimes been very good to himself over the years, and sometimes he is so cold and unkind, it should be what Guo Song said, the master is honing his mind.

Thinking of this, Gan Lei's heart suddenly relaxed, and the trace of contempt and dissatisfaction he had for Guo Song in his heart also disappeared.

A fat man is a fat man, no matter how vicious he looks, once he sees the right eye, the fat man's nonsense nature will be exposed.

"Little junior brother, I don't pay much attention to the rules, the rules set by Zixiao Heavenly Palace seem to me to be a bunch of shit, why should we send them the game we have worked so hard to hunt?"

Guo Song thought for a while and said, "Master told me that we need to exchange daily necessities with them. ”

Gan Lei showed a mocking smile on his face, "Then you are wrong, the daily necessities we exchanged with Zixiao Heavenly Palace are only salt and oil, which are all exchanged for firewood, and have nothing to do with game." ”

"Why is that?"

"The old miscellaneous hairs in Zixiao Heavenly Palace think that Kongtong Mountain is their territory, and other wild paths must pay rent to them to practice here, so they have set a rent for each Taoist temple, and we Qingxuguan must pay them two hundred pieces of game every year, of which thirty must be big guys."

"Just paying rent?"

Guo Song smiled and said, "Senior brother, things are not that simple, right?" ”

Gan Lei saw that Guo Song was much more shrewd than he thought, and it was not easy to fool, so he secretly cursed the little fox in his heart, so he had to say stupidly: "Of course, there is also the Taoist priest degree, our ordination degree is applied to the imperial court by Zixiao Heavenly Palace, if they break the rules they set, they can cancel our degree at any time." ”

This is about the same, Zixiao Heavenly Palace uses its privileges to control the various Taoist temples in Kongtong Mountain, and handing over the prey is just a means of control.

"Senior brother, I also have a degree?" Guo Song asked curiously.

"You should have it too, Master has already done it for you, but you won't get it until next year."

Guo Song secretly thought in his heart, he didn't know that he had beaten Zhang Hu'er yesterday, and Zixiao Heavenly Palace was still willing to do it for himself?

At this moment, a cold light flew out of Gan Lei's hand, 'Squeak! There was a terrible hiss, and a galloping hare was nailed to the root of a tree thirty paces away by a throwing knife.

Gan Lei laughed, stepped forward to take down the hare, the hare was very fat, at least seven or eight catties, he checked it and smiled at Guo Song: "Today is lucky, we have a good lunch." ”

He threw the hare into Guo Song's back basket, played a knife flower as if he was playing, and said triumphantly: "How about it, the flying knife is good!" Do you want your brother to teach you two hands? ”

Guo Song was unmoved, he glanced at the hare, and asked lightly, "Senior brother are you sure that this hare doesn't need to be brought back?" ”

Gan Lei raised his eyebrows, "Later, Lao Tzu will kill a weasel and bring it back to the errand, and stink those old miscellaneous hairs." ”

After speaking, he suddenly felt something, he looked around, licked his lips and said, "The wind is blowing, this sign is good, I can't imagine that I can get a big guy today." ”

He waved his hand, "I won't go to the back mountain today, let's look for food here." ”

As the saying goes: rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water.

Since they live on Kongtong Mountain, which is extremely rich in vegetation, as long as they are not picky, there are many edible mountain goods, such as all kinds of small animals, all kinds of wild fruits, all kinds of mushrooms, all kinds of edible plant roots, and all kinds of wild vegetables.

Of course, you should also be careful, the natural world is also full of dangers, all kinds of fierce beasts, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, poisonous mushrooms, etc., if you are not careful, you will encounter them.

Guo Song dug out a thick fern root, a large red-headed centipede with a full twenty centimeters of color came out of the soil and climbed up his arm, Guo Song was startled, and shook his hand to throw the centipede out of a zhang away.

"Don't trample on it!"

Gan Lei rushed like a gust of wind, took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, picked it with a knife, and the centipede got into the bamboo tube, he plugged the mouth of the bamboo tube, and said with a smile: "This is a good medicine, and martial arts practitioners must use it." ”

His eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at a fern root as thick as a baby's arm in Guo Song's hand, and exclaimed, "You kid is really a blessed general!" I've been digging fern roots for ten years, and it's the first time I've seen such a big root. ”

He stepped around and said, "No! Wrong! The bracken here has been growing for at least ten years, and we are lucky today! ”

The two of them worked together to dig out hundreds of fern roots around them, the thinnest of which was the thickness of a thumb, and the harvest was very rich.

After the fern root is dried and ground into powder, it is an edible starch, and the black and slimy thing in their rice is the fern root powder.

They had a good harvest today, and in only half a day, they picked most of the fern roots, loaded another basket of bracken, and dug up five or six yams.

The prey is a rabbit, two hedgehogs, and a grass snake.

Gan Lei was in a good mood, he took out the rabbit and disemboweled, Guo Song found a pile of wood, and the two were ready to barbecue.

Suddenly, Gan Lei felt something, he stretched out his finger and 'shh-' his expression became solemn, and he lowered his voice and said to Guo Song: "The smell of the air is wrong!" ”

Guo Song sniffed, and he didn't smell anything except the bloody smell of the rabbit in Gan Lei's hand.

Gan Lei's face changed suddenly, he gently pulled Guo Song, and glanced back, Guo Song turned around, and was so frightened that he was scattered, only to see a black bear more than a dozen steps behind him, standing up two meters tall, with a strong physique, and small eyes staring at him coldly.

"Run!"

With a low shout, Gan Lei turned and threw the rabbit at the black bear, and ran away.

Guo Song was in a hurry, shouldn't he lie down and pretend to be dead at this time? How could they outrun a black bear? However, he forgot for a while that the fat senior brother didn't need to run past the black bear, as long as he could outrun him Guo Song.

Guo Song followed Gan Lei and ran wildly, they were at least one hundred and fifty steps away from the nearest big tree, Guo Song was almost desperate.

At this time, Guo Song already understood why the senior brother was running, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead was only useful for the well-fed bear, and this black bear had just woken up from hibernation, and was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, where would he care if he lived or died, and that rabbit now became the key to whether they could escape this catastrophe.

The hungry black bear was indeed attracted by the smell of rabbit blood, and it was not in a hurry to chase the two, but picked up the rabbit on the ground, threw it into its mouth and chewed it, but it was far from quenching its hunger, so it chased after the two, and at this time, the two had run a hundred steps away.

Although Gan Lei ran as fast as lightning, Guo Song was young after all, and he slowed down the two of them slightly.

The speed of the black bear's running is extremely amazing, and the 100-meter sprint only takes six seconds, and in just a moment, it is getting closer and closer to the two of them, boom! Bang! The ground was trembling, and the black bear was getting closer.

The two ran out of more than a dozen steps, and there was a big tree in front of them, Gan Lei suddenly grabbed Guo Song's neck and threw it up, "Grab the big tree!" ”

Guo Song felt himself soaring into the air, he hugged the tree trunk without thinking, and climbed up desperately, he knew that the black bear had just finished hibernation, and it was the most dangerous time.

He climbed several feet in one breath before he looked back and down with palpitations.

But he didn't see the shadow of his brother Ganlei, nor did he see the black bear.

"I'm here!"

Guo Song heard the shouting in front of him, and then he saw the senior brother, he climbed another big tree, and the black bear leaned on the trunk under him, rubbing his back against the trunk, and the leaves shook loudly.

Guo Song hurriedly shouted: "Senior brother, try the flying knife and see if you can shoot through his head or heart?" ”

Gan Lei snorted, "What are you doing by shooting it, it's not cheap to get those miscellaneous hairs in Zixiao Heavenly Palace!" ”

"Don't we have to pay thirty big guys a year?"

"The big guys just need to hand over the fox and the wolf, anyway, the meat is smelly and unpalatable, and the fur is also stabbed for them."

Guo Song is really helpless, the senior brother has a temper.

Speaking of wolves and foxes, Gan Lei suddenly thought of something, rolled his eyes a few times, and shouted to Guo Song: "Stay in the tree, I'll take Brother Xiong to visit the neighbors, and I'll be back soon." ”

"Senior brother, you can't outrun the black bear!" Guo Song shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry! I can't outrun it in the wilderness, but it's okay in the rubble, I know it. ”

Gan Lei jumped down from the tree, kicked the bear in the back of the head, and then landed on a backflip, and ran into the grove, where there were many rocks, large and small, the big ones were a few feet high, and the small ones were up to the knees, and the rocks were miles long.

The black bear never dreamed that the other party would tease himself like this, it grabbed the air, roared angrily, and chased after it, don't look at Gan Lei is obese, without Guo Song's drag, he runs like the wind, especially experienced, and does not run in a straight line, running around the S-shape.

The black bear was constantly blocked by rocks and woods, and his speed couldn't get up, and he really couldn't catch up with him for a while, and the two big fat men gradually ran away.

Guo Song jumped off the tree, put away the basket and tools, and climbed the tree again to look into the distance, waiting for an hour, Guo Song was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and finally saw the big fat man Gan Lei come back triumphantly, dragging something in his two hands.

"Senior brother, are you okay?"

"Little junior brother, I've been blessed with you today, see what this is?"

Guo Song was suddenly startled, Gan Lei was actually two bloody thin wolves in his hands, both of whom were not very big, and he dragged them back with their tails.

"Senior brother, what's going on?"

"I led the big brother bear to the wolf's cave, the she-wolf was raising cubs, and the result was a wolf-bear war, the fat man and I fishermen profited, seven or eight wolves besieged the black bear, two were killed by the black bear, and the others ran away, the black bear was also injured and left, and the two dead wolves cheapened me."

Guo Song was speechless for a long time, he really admired this sinister and cunning fat brother, who was so bold and reckless that he actually thought of luring the bear into the wolf cave, I am afraid that except for him, no one else in the world would dare to do this.

Gan Lei saw that it was not early, so he smiled and said, "That's all here today, let's go back!" ”
