Xu Wenlong wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and slowly walked towards the "black evil" who fell to the ground with a blood-dripping machete.

At this time, the "black evil" mouth was wide open, one eye was closed, blood was gurgling in the neck cavity, and the huge head and neck were only connected to a layer of flesh, and they had already been thrown to the back, and he really became a dead pig who was not afraid of being happy!

Xu Wenlong kicked the sturdy body of the "Black Evil", and saw that it did not react in the slightest, so he threw the machete in his hand, climbed to the top of the neem tree in three or two times, tore his throat and shouted at the mountains: "Yo...... Ho ho ...... Yo...... Ho ho ......"

The hollow valley echoes, the mountains resonate, and the whole mountain immediately resounded with the majestic sound of "yo ho", like a surging tide drifting into the distance......

After a while, there was a faint response of "yo ho" from the southwest. The sound was faint, almost inaudible, but continuous, uninterrupted, louder and louder, louder and closer. Then the roar of "yo ho ho" sounded one after another in all directions, the roar was different in its sharpness and thickness, far and near, but all of them pierced through the clouds and cracked silks, and the air ran through the sky, whirling and drifting in the mountains for a long time.

After hearing so many responses, Xu Wenlong floated down the neem tree, picked up the bloodstained machete on the ground, wiped it clean and inserted it back into his waist, and then lowered his head to look for the broken old gun.

Li Jing and Yang Yingying walked over with each other's arms, tremblingly pointed to the "black evil" on the ground and asked, "Is it ...... It...... Die...... Dead? ”

Xu Wenlong nodded and replied calmly: "It's dead, it's dead, and I won't come out to harm people again!" ”

"Really? It's so fierce and cunning, it can't be a cheat. Li Jing suddenly perked up, shook off Yang Yingying's hand, and cautiously walked towards the crooked "black evil". When she was sure that it was too dead to die anymore, she strode over, raised her foot and kicked wildly, "Call you harmful, let you scare me!" ”

Yang Yingying didn't have the courage to look at the hideous "black evil", so she only slowly followed Xu Wenlong to find Lao Gong, and said with palpitations for a long time: "I'm scared to death, I was really scared to death just now, it's so fierce and domineering, it's like a devil!" ”

"But it died eventually, didn't it?" Xu Wenlong said lightly, bent down to pick up the gun tube without a butt on the ground, and gently stroked it in his hand. Alas, it's a pity that the partner who has followed him for many years is so fragmented and gone in the blink of an eye.

Yang Yingying secretly looked at Xu Wenlong, who was full of regret, her delicate face was full of tenderness, reverence, a hint of shallow shyness and strange sparks. Looking at it, she didn't feel a hot face, and quickly turned her head to the side, pretending to be careless and asked, "Cousin, what did you mean by climbing up the tree and yelling just now?" Is it a unique ritual of hunting for your mountain people, or a rule handed down by your ancestors? ”

"What kind of ritual rules, I think it's purely for show-off! It's to tell everyone in the neighborhood that he's hunted an extraordinary beast! You say, don't you? After venting her anger, Li Jing strode back and looked at Xu Wenlong with a playful gaze. She had been haunted by the panic she had just had, worried that she would leave a bad impression on him. In order to find out his details and probe his thoughts, he deliberately talked nonsense.

Xu Wenlong didn't think it was wrong, carefully put away the pipe, looked at Yang Yingying and said affirmatively: "Yes, this is indeed a rule when we mountain people hunt!" ”

Li Jing immediately pursed her lips, and a feeling of loss and melancholy rose in her heart. But his next sentence couldn't help but make her complacent.

Xu Wenlong said: "But what you said is also right, I really shouted like this to tell everyone in the vicinity!" ”

"Oh? Is it? Li Jingxi said diligently, "Come and listen, what did you tell them?" Did you really tell them that you had captured a great beast? ”

"Yes, yes, tell us about it, what are your rules for hunting?" Yang Yingying also said curiously.

"We have high mountains and dense forests, sparsely populated people, and sometimes there is not a single family within a radius of more than ten miles." Xu Wenlong looked at the mountains and said leisurely, "In the past, there were many fierce beasts such as tigers, wolves, and wild boars in the mountains, and they often took the initiative to attack and harass single guests, including farmers who planted crops on the mountains, and even hunters who were heavily armed and armed with knives, forks, guns, and guns. Therefore, in order to save their lives and avoid harm, people who are threatened will usually call out for warnings when possible to call people nearby to come to their aid. After the people nearby heard the call, no matter whether they were men or women, whether they were far or near, they would rush over as quickly as possible to help the people calling for help get out of trouble and deal with the attacking beasts together. ”

"I see!" Li Jing couldn't help but suddenly realize.

"Then why did you call again? Is it necessary? Didn't you kill the wild boar? Yang Yingying tilted her head and asked puzzled.

"yes, yes, isn't it strange that you didn't call for help before, but when the boar died, you came to call for help?" Li Jing also asked curiously.

"Then you say, such a big pig, if you don't call someone to help, can we get it back?" Xu Wenlong pointed to the "black evil" who was as strong as a calf and asked, "The reason why I didn't warn for help before was mainly to try not to alarm it or provoke it, and I wanted to rescue people first." I don't want to be chased by it in the end, hiding in Tibet, in a hurry, even if I want to call, it's too late! ”

Of course, this is a kind of self-humility of Xu Wenlong, because he has the confidence and feels that he has the ability to solve the "black evil" alone, so he does not want to ask for help from others. Besides, the wild boar that has seen red and tasted blood is particularly fierce and violent, and will take the initiative to hurt people, and he doesn't want to let it escape easily.

"That's right," Yang Yingying nodded frequently, kept touching her chest and said happily, "It's just that you didn't notice how dangerous it was at that time, and you almost ...... It almost scared the hell out of me. But it finally passed, and everyone was safe. ”

Speaking of the danger at that time, Li Jing's face turned red, and she lowered her head and said to Xu Wenlong in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I have tired you, don't be surprised." Also, I just ...... I just ......"

"How can this be? It should be my fault that I failed to protect you and take care of you, and let you suffer a fright. Xu Wenlong interrupted her and comforted her softly. How could he guess the meaning of her next sentence?

"Well, what else does your family have to say? Isn't that too out-of-the-box? Yang Yingying felt very proud of having such a chivalrous "cousin".

When Li Jing heard this, she felt a little at ease in her heart, but for the sake of safety, she still dragged Xu Wenlong aside and secretly warned him: "Don't tell anyone about this, even the eldest sister and brother-in-law can't talk about it!" ”

"This thing? What is this? Xu Wenlong looked at the mysterious Li Jing suspiciously, and when he saw her light green tracksuit crumpled and muddy all over the place, his heart suddenly brightened, so he hurriedly replied, "I know, I know, I won't say it, I won't tell them about it!" ”

"That's right, after all, you're not stupid yet." Li Jing lightly punched Xu Wenlong's arm, turned around and ran to find Yang Yingying. It seems that this kid didn't take to heart the fact that he was as timid as a mouse and cried the earth just now, it's really good, it's so exciting!

In fact, this is just Li Jing's wishful thinking and concerns, not to mention that she is a weak woman who has never been in the world, but a strong man who is experienced and solid, if she has not undergone special training, she suddenly encounters such a ferocious and murderous wild boar, won't she be shocked and broken? Who can take care of their own graceful and humble gentlemanly demeanor? After all, it is a critical moment of life and death, and life hangs by a thread! It's just that the girl's mind is mysterious and complicated, and no one can guess it!

It didn't take long for seven or eight young men in the prime of life with sticks and hoes to come from the bottom of the mountain, and the rugged mountain roads and anxious mood made them tired and panting like oxen and sweating, and the brand-new New Year's clothes on their bodies were also torn by the branches and thorns. Some even have scratches on their hands and faces, including their shoulders and backs, oozing a little bit of blood, which is really distressing and moving!

A young man with a sturdy black and sturdy hand running over from afar, snorting and saying to Xu Wenlong, "Old ...... Cousin...... Go out...... What's wrong...... Want to help...... Can you help......"

"yes, I do need your help." Xu Wenlong greeted him and replied with a smile.

A sharp-eyed young man suddenly pointed to the wild boar lying under the tree and exclaimed: "Heisha, it's Heisha, Heisha is dead, Heisha has been killed!" ”

As soon as the people who followed heard this, they immediately flocked to the stiff and motionless "black evil", and they all used the guys in their hands to poke and poke, pick and flip, and they all talked about it in unbelievable language.

The young man leaned over to inspect the huge body of the "Black Evil", pushed its hideous head crooked to the side with his hand, and touched the smooth and flat knife edge on its neck, and said to everyone with great certainty: "Yes, it's the 'Black Evil'!" A severed head, clean and neat, without traces of wounds! ”

"Wow...... It's amazing, it's amazing, who are they? What does it do? There is such a good ability! Everyone was amazed and turned their eyes to Xu Wenlong and the two girls beside him.

When the black man heard this, he left Xu Wenlong and ran over quickly, carefully examined the black evil, and then ran back, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his mouth was wide open like a soup pot, pointing at "Heisha" for a while, pointing at Xu Wenlong for a while, and stammering after eating for a long time: "It's ...... You guys...... Dead ......"

Xu Wenlong looked at the stunned man in front of him with a smile, and said with a smile on his face: "It's dead, we haven't yet!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's dead, it's dead! The dark man hurriedly corrected, "It's you ......."

"He was killed by himself!" Yang Yingying walked out, pointed to Xu Wenlong beside her and said proudly.

"Wow! One person solved the 'black evil', and it only took one knife! It's just a knife! When everyone heard this, they immediately gathered around, and they all looked at Xu Wenlong with admiration and admiration, and whispered to each other about who this handsome man and the two delicate girls were.

"Thank you, thank you so much! You've done us a great disservice! As soon as the black man grabbed Xu Wenlong's hand, he turned his head and greeted the two young men, "Hurry up, send a message quickly, and tell the people who are coming from all walks of life that the danger is over!" ”

"Great!" The two young men agreed, and quickly climbed the two big trees separately, craned their necks and shouted, "Ho...... Ho...... Ho...... Ho ......"

In a moment, the same roar came up and down, coming from afar, like bursts of spring thunder rolling through the sky, and it took a long time to gradually calm down.

The black man kept shaking Xu Wenlong's hand and said, "You don't know how much loss and damage this damn beast has caused us!" Needless to say, Uncle Xu in the next village, his legs are disabled, and he has not been able to walk normally, just in the past few years, it has bitten and bitten the villagers in the mountains to raise the cultivated cattle, the total number is not less than ten, which makes everyone panic and restless, how worried and scared is Menti! Even the children have to take out someone to escort them to and from school, which is really troublesome and helpless! Now we can sit back and sleep peacefully! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! Oh, by the way, my name is Mingrui, may I ask ...... you?"

"Hello Brother Mingrui, my name is Wenlong, and I am from Xujia Village in front of me." Xu Wenlong was embarrassed by Mingrui's bragging, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and replied.

"Oh...... I know, you are Uncle Shichang's son Wenlong, the one who served as a soldier! Mingrui scratched his head and suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, no wonder you are so good, you are worthy of being a soldier, and you are worthy of the Great Wall of Steel of our country!" ”

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but be amazed, praised each other, and looked at the strange fellow villager in front of them with reverence.

"Then, you must have visited Teacher Xu Wenming, you are good buddies, I have heard him say that you have been several times." Mingrui said with a smile.

"That's right, we just planned to visit Teacher Xu, and we didn't want to meet this beast here, so I ......," Xu Wenlong said lightly.

"Amazing, amazing! We've sent dozens of people to hunt it day and night, but in the end we didn't succeed, and we didn't want to be killed by you alone. Well, that's good! Mingrui said heartily again.

The others also nodded yes, and told me with relish about the siege and interception.

As he spoke, he saw a young man of twenty-four or five years old hurrying from the mountain, and shouted from a distance: "Is it Wenlong in front?" What's wrong? It doesn't matter, right? Has anyone been hurt? ”

"Teacher Xu is here, Teacher Xu is here." Everyone shouted in unison, dodging to make way of a passage.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a false alarm!" Xu Wenlong hurriedly greeted him and said.

"It's fine, but it scares the hell out of me! Of course, I'm not worried about you, no matter what the circumstances! Xu Wenming lightly punched Xu Wenlong and said jokingly. He is tall and thin without losing his vigor, elegant and shrewd, and is an organic combination of mountain people and cultural people. However, from his dark eyes, he could clearly feel a trace of old age and a trace of exhaustion, perhaps because he was overly worried.

"These two are Ah Jing and Ah Ying." Xu Wenming shook off Xu Wenlong, smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Jing and Yang Yingying on the side.

"Hello Brother Xu, it's the two of us." Li Jing and Yang Yingying shook hands with Xu Wenming shyly under the gaze of everyone's amazing eyes.

"Good, good! If only you two weren't hurt! After all, you are a distinguished guest from afar, in case something goes wrong, you can call me how to be good! But you, Brother Aaron, are a soldier, an iron-beaten cockroach, with rough skin and thick flesh and hard bones, I know him, and I know that there are no beasts on the mountain that can harm him. Xu Wenming said to the two girls kindly.

"Brother Xu, you are so enthusiastic!" Li Jing and Yang Yingying lowered their heads shyly.

Xu Wenlong stood aside and smiled without saying a word.

Mingrui came over and said hello to Xu Wenming, and then said loudly to everyone: "I think that's it, since there is nothing to do, and the people have arrived, we will carry the pig back first, and after washing and skinning, according to the rules of the mountain people, we will distribute a pork ...... to everyone here."

"No, no, no!" Xu Wenming hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I came back after the alarm was lifted, mainly because I was anxious and worried about the safety of my friends, and I couldn't get this pork according to the rules, so I didn't have to share my share." ”

"What do you mean?" Mingrui was anxious, waved his hand and said with a red neck, "Don't say that you are Wenlong's friend and brother, just because you are a teacher in the village, even if you don't rush over, we will give you a share, not to mention that this wild boar was killed by your Wenlong brother alone." Do you think so? ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, you're welcome, go back and entertain your friends." Everyone nodded yes in unison, and persuaded Xu Wenming.

"How can this be, how can this be," Xu Wenming shook his head and sternly refused, "How can an ancient tradition be destroyed casually? No, no, absolutely not. ”

"You don't have to fight anymore, I think the matter is settled, and we will send the divided pork to your house in a while!" Mingrui waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone.

"What are you...... ...... are you" Xu Wenming spread his hands and looked at Xu Wenlong helplessly.

Xu Wenlong smiled, and hurriedly raised his hand to Mingrui and said, "Wait a minute......

"What's wrong? Don't you agree? Ming Rui looked at Xu Wenlong in surprise.

"No," Xu Wenlong glanced at the young men who were looking at him, shook his head and said loudly, "I hope you can give Uncle Xu a portion of the meat and give him that pig's head." ”

"The head of this beast is the glory of the hunter, and it has always been the possession of the hunter!" A young man said puzzled.

Mingrui's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood what Xu Wenlong meant. He was grateful, pulled Xu Wenlong and said, "Thank you, thank you!" I don't think Uncle Xu will regret it again!

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and they couldn't help but praise Xu Wenlong's enthusiasm one after another.

Mingrui patted Xu Wenlong on the shoulder, turned around and shouted to the young man: "Brothers, lift the pig, let's divide the meat!" ”

"Great!" The young men suddenly agreed, greeted Xu Wenming and Xu Wenlong one by one, cut down the kudzu vines with their hands and feet, tied up the three-hundred-pound "black sha", and jointly carried it "Hi Yo Yo" and walked down the mountain.
