Chapter 841: Baby Hunter
The old man was very humble, and explained to Yang Huairen with a smile on his chin, "We are really hunters in the mountains, and the village we live in is not far from here. ”
As he spoke, he pointed in one direction, "It's another twenty miles from here." It's just that we are not only hunting birds and animals in the mountains and forests, but also two rare treasures.
Usually hunting some birds and animals, in addition to eating by yourself, the remaining fur and other things can not be sold for a few dollars, but these two treasures are different, you Han merchants regularly come to our village to collect these things, so these two treasures are our main prey. ”
Yang Huairen felt that he was smart enough and well-informed enough, but it was the first time he had seen such people and things, and he was more and more confused by what the old man said.
He said that they were hunters, but the main object of hunting was not the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, but two rare treasures, as if these two treasures were very rare things of the Han people, and they would pay for them, but they took the sow to hunt these two treasures, which seemed unreasonable.
The old man also knew that it could not be explained in words, so he invited Yang Huairen and said, "Guests might as well follow us to the mountains and forests, and at a glance you will know what we are hunting."
If you are interested, we can also sell some to you, and you will definitely make a lot of money by shipping them back to your Han place to sell. ”
Yang Huairen was a little hesitant, firstly, they had to hurry, and secondly, these strangers who claimed to be treasure hunters were too strange, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not have any unfavorable intentions against him.
But the curiosity in his heart drove him to nod his head and make a gesture of invitation to the old man.
Yang Huairen went back to the tent and dressed up again, and brought some necessary items for entering the mountain, as well as some dry food and clean water.
It was still a group of five people, and Yang Huairen asked the guards who pretended to be merchants and grooms to stay where they were and continue to repair, while the five of them followed the strange people walking pigs into the mountains to see what the treasures they hunted were.
The old man led Yang Huairen and the others and the more than 20 hunters into the deep mountains and old forests, at first they could tell that there was a path into the mountain that had been stepped out of their feet, but the deeper they went, the road under their feet gradually disappeared.
The trees are becoming denser and denser, and the divisions are becoming more and more irregular, and the huge canopy is intertwined, leaving only a little shimmer of light, and those who are not familiar with this primeval forest are afraid that they will definitely get lost.
The early morning fog has not yet dissipated, and people walk in such a fog, they unconsciously feel chills, except for the occasional startled sound of birds fluttering their wings and flying away, only the sound of people and pigs stepping on the mud "da-da" footsteps, the atmosphere is becoming more and more eerie.
After shuttling in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, the old man who led the way did not have the intention of stopping, Yang Huairen looked back from time to time to remember the way he came, but he could no longer find it, only a piece of verdant under the dim light.
He couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, didn't there be a saying in the future that curiosity killed a cat, he felt that if he was in danger one day, it must be his curiosity.
The rest of the people didn't speak, but Lan Ruoxin, Xiao Qi and the others were alert, always ready, if someone was unfavorable to Yang Huairen, they could take action immediately.
The dew on the weeds on the ground had already wet his pants and shoes, and it made people feel extremely cold when they stuck to his legs, and he had been walking for almost an hour, Yang Huairen couldn't help but ask the old man, "Haven't you arrived yet?" As...... Let's stop and rest. ”
The old man looked at him with a grin, did not answer immediately, then raised his head to carefully observe the appearance of the canopy, and shook his head, "It will be there soon, and you will find the treasure in a few more steps." ”
Yang Huairen was very puzzled, from the feeling that the old man and the hunters he led did not look like bad people, nor did they seem to have any purpose for them, but their style of acting was also too weird, which made people inevitably suspicious.
Along the way, there are no rare birds and beasts in the forest, and there are not a few prey that can be hunted, so it really doesn't look like there is a treasure, but since the old man said that he will arrive at the place soon, Yang Huairen can only endure the suspicion in his heart and continue to follow him.
The next journey is a climb all the way, don't look at the old man's age as if he is in his sixties, but his legs and feet are very dexterous, and even Yang Huairen and others are a little unable to keep up with his vigorous pace.
The sows didn't seem to be unaccustomed at all, and they didn't seem to be tired, and what was even stranger was that the sows seemed to be getting more and more excited, as if they had smelled something to eat.
At this moment, the old man suddenly turned around and said, "When we get to the place, the guests can rest in place first and see how we hunt." ”
Yang Huairen is already very good because of his cultivation of internal strength, but after shuttling in the rugged mountains and old forests for so long, it still makes him flustered and panting, and it is true that climbing a mountain requires more physical strength than on flat ground.
But now he doesn't want to rest, and he can't sit on the wet ground, so it's better to follow the old man to see what treasure they are hunting.
The old man claimed to be a hunter, and since he had reached the place, he did not draw his bow or draw his sword, but let go of the sow he was holding and let the pig rejoice freely.
Yang Huairen felt funny and funny in his heart, it turned out that these people really used sows as hunting dogs, which was too strange.
The other hunters followed the old man, letting go of the sows they were carrying, and letting them run around in the forest.
There was a bit of confusion for a moment, and the sow was running wildly, and the hunters were following the sow, their eyes wide as they searched for something where the sow had arched.
Brother Tianba's laughter was broken, such a scene was indeed too funny, and Lan Ruoxin asked puzzledly, "...... them What's going on? ”
Yang Huairen didn't think about it at first, but then he suddenly remembered something, and then slowly combined the cause and effect, which gradually made him understand a little.
At this moment, the old man's sow was excitedly arching her nose and digging with her hooves under a pine tree, as if she had found something, and the old man also ran under the pine tree, and from time to time turned back to wave to Yang Huairen, signaling them to look over.
When Yang Huairen saw this scene, an excited smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to Tianba's younger brothers, "I finally know what they are looking for, and such a thing is indeed a rare treasure!" ”
