Volume 1, Dongyi Tribe 7
Taking a peek and wanting to know the whole picture, the urge to see the world is getting stronger and stronger, Mu San can't wait to go all over the entire Pangu Continent immediately, there is a goal to have motivation, but he has to solve the current matter first.
The difficulty of saving people is urgent, and it is too late to wait until you find the clues, and the only way now is to ask the old man for advice.
Looking at the old man's house faintly bright, Mu San hesitated a little, and then, he had already made a decision, a wise man like the old man, with his guidance, he might get twice the result with half the effort, and he definitely couldn't miss it.
Thinking of this, Mu San no longer hesitated, strode to the old man's grass hut and stood still, tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and then reached out and knocked on the door.
"Uncle, please forgive me, the boy Musan came to ask for advice."
After speaking, he took a step back and stood respectfully.
"Come in, Kid San."
The old man's loud voice came, and listening to his tone, he was not half surprised, and sure enough, he had already guessed what was going to happen tonight.
Mu San pushed the door in, the light in the room was a little dim, and a simple oil lamp flickered, as if it was going to go out at any moment.
No matter how good his eyesight is, he can only vaguely see a black figure sitting cross-legged, Mu San hurriedly leaned over again, and before he could speak, the old man had already spoken,
"Mu San, I know the purpose of your visit, you can sit down first."
He respectfully knelt on a gossip futon in front of the old man.
"How many people are there in your people? How many days have you been on the mountain? ”
"More than a dozen tribes are strong, and they have been on the mountain for about seven or eight days, and they used to be three or two days each time."
The old man nodded,
"This place is called Guigu Ridge, which is located at the southern foot of Taiyun Mountain, and there are no particularly fierce beasts in the entire southern foothills, except for the Nangou area, you can rest assured."
After a pause, he added,
"However, the torrential rain has fallen suddenly in recent days, and it is possible that it will be trapped by sudden flash floods."
Mu San's heart tightened when he heard this,
"Aren't they dangerous?"
"No, I'll have to go find them."
After speaking, he was ready to get up and hurried overnight, but he didn't know where he was going.
"Don't worry, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, do you know where they are trapped?"
Only then did he realize that his current behavior was different from when he first entered the mountain? Spinning around like a headless fly, this is time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, there will be no results, sharpening the knife is not a mistake for the woodcutter, you have to find the place where they may be trapped first, he blamed himself a little for his impatience just now,
"What the old man said is that the kid is rude."
The old man nodded, and he liked this kid more and more in his heart.
"Don't panic San'er, I think of a few places where flash floods may occur within a radius of 100 miles, let Yu'er take you there tomorrow."
A huge surprise came to his heart, and Mu San was already excited beyond words, I don't know if this excitement was because of the help of the old man, or because of the company of the girl, maybe there were.
Therefore, Mu San still needs to hone more, and the young man should remember to guard against arrogance and rashness, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Mu San had already gotten up, thinking that today was a little eyebrow-raising, and his mood was also rising.
He carried a mountain rock weighing dozens of pounds on his back, and ran a few laps along the dirt slope of the hill, the rain had stopped, and the sky baptized by the rain was as transparent as water.
The golden morning light burst out from behind the mountains, blending with the morning mist slowly rising in the valley, and the red glow overflowed.
Running all the way, breathing the freshness of nature all the way, after a while he was already sweating and sweating, and now he was very dissatisfied with his strength, but this kind of exercise always made him feel that something was missing, although more than ten years of continuous exercise has made him more robust than ordinary people, and his mind is more mature.
After the three of them finished breakfast, the sky was clearer, and Mu San had no time to enjoy these sunrise beauties, maybe next time he could come specifically for the scenery, but not this time.
The old man didn't say anything more, waved his hand, presumably he had already instructed him last night.
"Don't worry, the kid will do his best to protect Miss Wang Yu."
There are always coincidences in everything, and maybe they can't be described only by coincidences, like the girl is particularly excited, and I don't know if it's because grandpa is not around, you can play to your heart's content, or someone is around, you can play to your heart's content, and Mu San's thoughts coincide.
The old man watched the two young figures disappear, was silent, turned around and walked into the house, meditating under a huge gossip diagram, and there was the word "Hehe" behind it.
The Tao is natural, and the non-action is automated...
Relaxed all the way, the girl's lively personality drove Mu San to be lively, the two talked and laughed, and from time to time a few small animals looked at the two from afar.
As the terrain became higher and higher, the green grass slowly disappeared, and the long-lost forest trees slowly appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.
Here is a different mountain forest, the trees here are mostly not high and luxuriant, looking from afar, a piece of black oppression.
He instinctively felt that this place was not such a kind place, Wang Yu also slowly quieted down at this time, and introduced what he knew, Mu San hurriedly listened quietly.
"This large woodland in front of you is Huiya Ridge, there is a little 彘 (zhi) infested, although this thing is small, but it likes to haunt in groups, the spikes on the back can shoot at people, and it is highly poisonous, it is very difficult."
Continuing with the introduction,
"There's a cliff ahead, just on the back side of the Wolong Valley where you came."
"By the way, flash floods often break out there, and it's relatively close, so your people may be trapped somewhere."
"Really?"
Mu San's eager thoughts were revealed.
"What are you anxious about, you don't have to be there, and it wouldn't be good if you ran into the slightest thing, those guys are stupid, and they are very grumpy, so let's go around."
Mu San can't care about anything else at the moment, he will never agree to let him go around, and besides, the forest is so big, it may not be encountered, he is also worried that the girl is afraid, and the heroism of the man arises spontaneously:
"Miss Wang Yu, don't be afraid to run into anything, I won't let it hurt you."
When Wang Yu heard this, his heart was sweet, his IQ was not online in an instant, and his grandfather's instructions had long been forgotten aside, coupled with the character of not being afraid of heaven and earth, the idea of detouring was immediately ruled out.
Walking into the cliff ridge, the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and the sky seemed to be dark in an instant, and the environment immediately became a little eerie and terrifying.
Mu San was a little embarrassed in his heart, he was a manly man, but he was not as knowledgeable as the little woman in front of him.
Now he is more eager for knowledge than ever, maybe now he admires Wang Yu more in his heart than he admires her, anyway, he can't tell himself, don't think about how "terrifying" the old man's insight should be? He couldn't think of any words to describe it.
The idea of learning from a teacher suddenly popped up in my heart.
Mu San understands that his lack of knowledge and experience is not terrible now, he is still young, and he has a lot of time to learn. This time, I must plan carefully.
In front of him, he couldn't accurately judge where there would be danger, he didn't have the instinct to survive in the mountains and forests all year round, and it seemed that he had to live in the mountains for a while.
Don't look back at the cliff ridge tree is not high, but you can see all kinds of unknown wild fruits everywhere, there must be many birds and beasts here, this is the situation that Mu San can think of, he can't see the rest, the feeling of unknown is always very uncomfortable, but he only adheres to the survival rules of his predecessors and exchanged their lives back:
In an unfamiliar environment, you must first make a preliminary understanding, what you see with your eyes, what you hear with your ears, and what you know through other channels can minimize the danger.
The lovely person next to him who knows too much more than himself is the best teacher, although he is about the same age as himself, but under the influence of time and time, he is definitely not comparable.
He unconsciously talked to Wang Yu:
"Miss Wang Yu, what kind of beast is the milli you just mentioned, I haven't seen it yet?"
Wang Yu was a little proud,
"It's not a big deal.,When you're in danger, you like to turn your back at the enemy.,As long as you dodge.,Often miss.,There's generally no danger.,Haha"
He also had fun, but he also knew in his heart that this beast must have its own means to dominate this area.
"I heard grandpa say that these guys are somewhat similar to red-eyed demon pigs, and I don't know if they are relatives?"
"Red-eyed demon pig?"
Hearing the name again, the patriarch had also reminded him to avoid this demon beast.
Wang Yu is even more proud,
"Let Miss Ben tell you about it, you can listen."
Mu San nodded humbly.
"This red-eyed demon pig is said to be a big beast that existed at the beginning of ancient times, strong and strong, a few feet tall, you know the ancient beast!"
Seeing Lin San nodding, he said again:
"It has fangs several feet long, spikes on its back, and prefers to stay in dark and damp places, and grandpa said that it is afraid of the sun and likes to be nocturnal."
"I don't know about the rest, I haven't seen it."
Lin San nodded, secretly remembering it in his heart.
"What about the Elder Beasts?"
"You kid is too lonely and unheard, the ancient beasts are all murderous, and I know only a few."
Wang Yu was not polite at all,
"Like the easternmost part of the Eastern Regions, there are Gale and Turquoise Beasts, they all live on islands, there are Ba snakes in the Southern Regions, I heard that they are also a mountain guarding spirit beast, there are Yingzhao in the northwest, and there is a divine beast Bai Ze in the Great Snow Mountain."
"By the way, including Little Blue who almost ate you."
These names Mu San was unheard of, and he was interested in asking again, but he was interrupted by Wang Yu,
"I know very little, you can ask grandpa for the rest."
Wang Yufu continued:
"In our Taiyun Mountain, there are also several big beast territories, and I heard that your clan's holy relic, the three-legged golden crow, is also in this mountain range, so I don't know where it is."
"Three-legged golden crow, does it really exist?"
Mu Sandu forgot how the girl knew that the totem of his clan was a three-legged golden crow.
"Then I don't know, and I've heard very little."
After speaking, he pouted, ignored Mu San, and walked forward alone.
The first time I heard about the tribal totem, it turned out that it was not a legend, it was real, and I was afraid that the elders in the family might not know it!
When long-lasting faith may be in front of us, how can such urgent thoughts be suppressed?
He couldn't wait to run back to the old man immediately and ask about the three-legged golden crow.
"Hey, what are you doing in a daze, you can't save your people."
