Zhou Nandao: "I'll wait and rest here, and only let Zhou Fu go up to explore, and then make plans." Gao Yuan whispered to all the hunters to gather together, not to raise their voices, but to rest. Zhou Nan turned his head and instructed Zhou Fudao: "If you want to save your sister, you must take the cottage, and if you want to take the cottage, you must investigate it clearly." You just have to go up and find out the situation of the cottage, just like hunting, first find out where the prey is hiding? How to fight? Investigate clearly and come back quickly. Zhou Fu's emaciated face did not fluctuate like a stone carving, and he just replied in a low voice: "I can save it, just like exploring the nest of wild animals." Zhou Nan nodded appreciatively, didn't say more, just said: "It's all up to you to save people and take revenge this time." Just find out, and I'll do the rest. Zhou Fu still responded simply, bowed up along the hillside, and quietly climbed up like a tanuki, and soon disappeared into the dark night.

Zhou Nan specially instructed everyone to rest and wait in place, not to laugh loudly, Zhou Nan said with a soft smile: "Carefully scare away our prey." He didn't say that he couldn't light the fire, and he felt that there was no need to say that people in this era had not smoked cigarettes. All the hunters laughed softly, and for a moment of relaxation, they suddenly drove away the tension on the road when they came, gathered together, and occasionally whispered a few words, and many times they were silently guarded, like a leopard staring at its prey in the grass ready to jump out at any time. In Zhou Nan's joke, they seemed to have returned to the mountains of Gaojiazhai, a group of young hunters, under the command of the leader, were fighting a hunt, and now they were excited and concentrated, but no one was nervous.

People are like this, when they do what they are familiar with, no one will be nervous, especially what they want to do is what they are good at and proud of, just like a general prancing horse and whipping on the battlefield, and an actor standing on the stage. The Crouching Tiger Mountain in front of them is their stage, and the thieves in the cottage will be their prey.

Zhou Nan looked at them, they are all good hunters, they have lived here for generations, hunting is a skill they have mastered since childhood, they are all natural hunters. No one knows better than them how to approach their prey quietly, and then either strike suddenly, with a fatal blow, or lure the prey into a trap with bait, or spread the net and wait for the prey to lose its chance to escape.

In ancient Chinese society, although the Central Plains regime looked stronger, better armed, and more numerous, it was almost always bullied by the nomadic regime from the barbarian land, and even overthrown by the nomadic regime, a big reason is that in the combat effectiveness of the army, the army of the Central Plains regime, which had been peaceful for a long time and lacked training, although the weapons were excellent, but the quality of the soldiers was too poor, just like the first time the Jin army attacked the north of Kaifeng, when the soldiers of the forbidden army in the capital of Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty rode out of the city to fight, many forbidden troops rode on horses, Frightened, they only hugged the neck of the horse, and even fell off the horse's back, how could such an army win? Jin Jun shook his head when he saw it, and felt that if he didn't attack Kaifeng, he would simply be sorry for the sky and sorry for himself. Look at the Jin army in turn, they are all in the vast snowfield in the northeast by fighting to the death with the beast every day to survive, physical strength and willpower are exercised extremely tenacious, most of the soldiers of the Jin army can wear two layers of iron armor to fight, a set of iron armor is generally forty pounds, after wearing two layers of iron armor, you can also repeatedly rush and kill the enemy for a few rounds, the quality of the soldiers can be imagined. In addition to the Jin army, like the Khitan army that has been pressing the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, the Yuan Dynasty army that started from the grassland to destroy the Jin State and the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Qing army that killed the Ming Dynasty from the white mountains and black waters in later generations, which is not tempered by perennial hunting?

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan shook his head, he felt that he was thinking far away, and he didn't want to dominate the country and dominate the world, how could he think of this, just to kill a group of rabble, but he should think about how to minimize his casualties. After all, the hunters who came out with him were all pillars of the family, not soldiers who sold themselves to the country. It was precisely because he thought of these things from the beginning that Zhou Nan asked Lao Zheng Tou for herbs that could increase the damage when he came, which was the medicinal juice given by Lao Zheng Tou.

He didn't ask what the herb was, but it was probably some poison like aconite. He untied the gourd containing the medicinal juice from his waist, took out a porcelain bowl from his arms, and poured half a bowl of medicinal juice first by the faint starlight. ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "I don't know what it is, this is what I asked for from Lao Zhengtou." Brother Gao, you ask everyone to come over one by one and paint the arrows. ”

Although Gao Yuan didn't know what it was, he had been hunting all year round, and he knew that it must be poison, so he stayed by Zhou Nan's side, and asked people to step forward one by one to take out arrows and apply the arrows with medicinal juice. Like Gao Yuan, all the hunters also understood what it was for, and no one asked, just lined up one by one to apply the medicinal juice. Then carefully insert the quiver.

There is no poisonous tree like blood sealing the throat in northern China, but traditional Chinese medicine poisons such as aconitum, strychnine, oleander and so on are all over the place, and aconitum can be called the strongest poison in China's thousands of years of cold weapon era, which can be said to be a secret weapon companion. Although it is not as powerful as the toxin that seals the throat with blood, it is not a joke, and in the era before Zhou Nan, there were still people who were poisoned by aconitum and sent to the hospital to die without being rescued, which shows the fierceness of the toxicity.

When all the hunters had coated their arrows with medicinal juice and were closing their eyes and pretending to sleep, Zhou Fu slipped down the mountain silently. Although Zhou Fu is young, he is calm and sophisticated, and he said to Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan who were waiting: "Brother Gao, Brother Zhou, I have already investigated clearly, and it is the Crouching Tiger Mountain Cottage from here, but there is no wall on this side, the gate is in the south, and there are two thieves guarding it, one of them is sleeping, and the other comes out from time to time to patrol the wall." From the gate of the wall to the inside of a flat ground is a hall, no one guards in the hall, through the hall, is three into the courtyard, the first into the east and west wings, the middle is the hall, there are thieves in the east and west wings are sleeping, there are about 100 people up and down; Passing through the living room is the second courtyard, which is also the east and west wings, but the east wing is not a chase shop, only a thief and a woman are sleeping; The west wing and the east wing are generally furnished, but they are empty and unattended. The last time I entered the courtyard, but it didn't seem like a human habit, I wanted to find out, but I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I came down. Zhou Fu said it again in 1510.

Zhou Nan secretly praised in his heart: This kid was born to be a detective, he was calm and bold at a young age. Gao Yuan was also very satisfied, and said in a low voice: "Good boy, count your head work." ”

Zhou Nan said to Gao Yuan: "Big brother, there are too many thieves, you can't fight hard, it's better to capture the thief and capture the king first, there are only two thieves on this mountain, and one goes out, and the second one who sleeps with the woman in the courtyard should be the thief head." I divided into two ways, all the way to capture the thief leader, led by Zhou Fu. The other way to block the bandits in the front yard, Hugh is going to be alarmed; As long as the other way captures the thief's head, I will have a way to take the cottage. Gao Yuan listened, and said to Zhou Nan: "Listen to your orders." But there is one thing, and the thief needs me to catch it. ”

Zhou Nan naturally agreed, and then began to distribute manpower: Zhou Fu led Gao Yuan, Jia Liu, Feng Jin, and Wang Zhong to capture the thief's head; He also asked Gao Shouzhong and Gao Shouxiao to bring short knives, rush to the gate of the village first, and kill the two sentry thieves, so that the thieves could not let the thieves shout and alarm the thieves behind. The rest of the people all brought bows and arrows and followed Zhou Nan.

Everything was arranged, and Zhou Nan whispered to the hunters: "Let's go." A group of people silently climbed upward.
