Chapter 57: Grasshoppers

"Is it a message from the Ghost Eagle? What the hell is going on up ahead? How did the people of the deer get here? After all, Hu Aman has experienced countless ups and downs, and he was still unfazed when he heard this, and asked in a loud voice.

"......" Shouli opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.

He is cowardly and prone to panic. After experiencing thousands of life-saving and wounded help, he has become calm in the face of individual life and death, but in the face of the failure of hunting, and even the attack of a deer, he still failed to stabilize his mind.

There was more information on the note, but he only felt dazzled and couldn't see clearly, and he barely heard Hu Aman's questions clearly, only that his mind was blank.

"Go out and see." Hu Aman glanced at Shouli dissatisfied, and immediately led people out of the big tent and stood on the hillside to look north. None of them are literate, and they can't understand from Shou Li, so they might as well go and see for themselves.

The smoke and dust were billowing from the north, and the footsteps were roaring, judging from the experience of Hu Aman and others, there were quite a few beasts coming, and they were angry. This is not something that a hundred or so of them can deal with.

However, what happened in front of them, and what happened to the tens of thousands of warriors, it was impossible to see at this time.

At this moment, before the dust in front of me, I don't know when a few figures appeared, and I didn't want to run this way.

"Who's coming?" Hu Aman squinted his eyes and looked over, but his eyes were not good, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"It seems to be someone from Youda's side." The auxiliary woman on the side said.

"Go, carry it on your back."

The comers had apparently gone through a desperate run, and when they reached the bottom of the hill, several of them either fell over on the ice of the creek or fell into a shallow ditch, and could not get up.

The people on Human's side hurriedly rushed down and put the people up.

"Barbarianβ€”" Several people were panting like cows, and one of them sang loudly, because he was panting for breath, and his voice was broken.

Shouli was panicking in the back, and when he suddenly saw these people, he became even more flustered: "He, he, he's Xiong Mao!" ”

Xiong Mao had tried to blackmail the forest before, and their bear tribe had retreated before, so in Shouli's opinion, it was definitely not normal for them to appear at this time. Maybe the failure of the hunt has something to do with them, or maybe they have fled again.

But he was so flustered at this time that he couldn't organize any proper words when he saw them. You can't nail the label of a shameless villain to Xiong Mao.

Seeing that he was so indistinct again, Hu Aman looked at him again and turned directly to question. Shouli was glared at again, and he didn't know how to speak.

"You're from the Bear Tribe? Why is it just you? Hu Aman asked.

Xiong Mao seized the time to catch his breath, and said twice: "When we chased to the hanging corner over there, Qizi ordered us to turn to the swamp, but soon after, a fire broke out in front, and the beasts went crazy and ran around. ”

Hanging Corner is a place name on the northwest shore of Lake Go. This is where the passage begins.

When Hu Aman heard that this was the case, he suddenly became clear about the whole situation, and when he heard that these people ran back for her safety, and ran so hard, he saw a lot of praise in his eyes, and said, "Did you run fast and come back first?" What about the others? ”

Xiong said: "The team turned to the swamp, and we became the closest to this side, so we ran back first. As we left, others were blocking us, and there were people following behind, afraid that we hadn't arrived yet. ”

Xiong Mao explained the appearance of the change of formation, saying that he and the others really did not escape, but were really close to here. At the same time, they also quietly said that they did run faster than others.

In fact, they escaped ahead of the beasts before they came back here.

When Lin Ji ordered to turn to the west to drive away, they could barely stand still when they were in the westernmost line. So they're really the closest people to here. At that time, Xiong Mao felt that there was no more suspense about hunting, and he was not very worried about the arrangements here, so he greeted the people of the tribe, and several people secretly hid in a hollow, and after the team chased out, they began to run back.

The wilderness was black and dusty, and they were all black, and no one noticed them when they ran back.

They ran back a little further, but they clearly saw that a wildfire had started in the northwest direction, and then they saw the beasts scattering on a high ground, and knew that they would be defeated. Xiong Mao's mind moved, and he beckoned people to run back to report the funeral, so that he could not only come back in advance to do what he arranged, but also have some credit.

They ran a few kilometers behind and set off early, and at the same time they were worried about being overtaken by the beasts, so they really got ahead of the beasts.

Looking at the situation, they really got the bet right at this time. Hu Aman really looked at them differently.

Hu Aman figured out the logic of Xiong Mao's words, and did not doubt it, and asked, "You have worked hard." Do you know that the people from behind the deer are coming? How many came? They set the fire? ”

"Scared? Swift deer? Xiong Mao was a little dumbfounded, they looked at the back and ran desperately, but they didn't know that there were still people with a deer.

But he quickly heard the general idea from Hu Aman's words, and defended: "We didn't see it right, but we didn't see the beast herd, so we ran first, but we didn't see the deer." They must have set the fire. ”

Shouli finally calmed down, looked down at the note, and answered: "Qizi said that there are only five hundred people coming from the deer, let's hide behind the defense line and not fight." He will make arrangements for the rest. ”

"But what else?" Hu Aman looked at Shou Li.

"No, no." Shouli looked at the note again, and was also a little desperate.

Hu Aman didn't take a look at Li more, but said to Xiong Mao: "Since this is the case, let's just do what Qizi said." You can outrun the herds of beasts, and you must be brave, but it's a pity to stay on the border. After the hunt, I will make arrangements so that all of you will have ten beats...... A hundred warriors. Now you have a good rest. ”

After Hu Aman said this, he hurriedly discussed countermeasures with a few people around him, and didn't care about Xiong Mao and the others.

Shou Li's face darkened suddenly, it was obviously Qizi who brought these news, and it was he who said it, why did the final reward be given to these villains? It is impossible for a person to outrun the beast, these people obviously ran in advance, why can't Hu Aman think of such a simple reason clearly?

When Xiong Mao heard Hu Aman's promise, he lowered his head and smiled, so proud. Hearing that Lin Ji had already sent the news back, he didn't dare to stay here longer, for fear that he would be questioned too much and reveal his flaws. And they were carried back to their camp on the west side.

When they left, they also showed a smile to Shou Li, the most important news was provided by Shou Li, and they didn't thank them for taking it.

Shouli just wanted to take the scalpel and go over and kill them. He has never hated a person so much in his heart, and he has never hated his cowardice so much. But he didn't dare to do it. During the hunting period, private fighting is prohibited.

He saw Xiong Mao and the others being quickly carried back to their camp to the west, and he wanted to give a warning, but when he saw that the person who saw them off was far away from their camp, they persuaded him to leave. He immediately closed his mouth, and then stared at the herd of beasts that were getting closer and closer in the distance, as if they were still being driven away.

Xiong Mao walked near his camp and looked at the ruts on the ground with excitement. Today is really a day of great harvest for him.

According to his previous arrangement, at this time, they would work with the swamp people to push out the wheelbarrow of Ji Lin or Youda and hide it in the swamp. The ruts on the ground at this point indicate that the matter was also very successful.

Both harvests had benefited from Ji Lin, and he felt that it was more painful than revenge.

He smirked and prepared to open the tent and go back to rest. Who knew that as soon as he lifted the tent, he saw a lot of wheelbarrows stacked inside. The Swamp people and his companions are also here.

"Didn't I say sink into the swamp?" Xiong Mao was a little angry, but he felt that they couldn't do anything without him.

The swamp man and his companion both smiled wryly: "It's frozen, and it can't sink." ”

Rumble.

The sound of the beast galloping sounded in Xiong Mao's ears, and he felt his brain shake as well. Yes, how did you not think of such a simple thing?

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiong Mao comforted himself, he stole everything, and it was okay if he couldn't sink. The hunt will be defeated, and when Ji Lin's people come back, they will definitely be extremely chaotic, and they may not necessarily find out about it. He could talk about it at night.

He thought so and prepared to make some other arrangements.

One of his companions put his head out of the tent to take a look, then turned back and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Run!" ”

The faces of the other people changed, but Xiong Mao blocked the exit of the tent, and also pulled the person who was about to run out, and said in an orderly manner: "What are you running?" We haven't been discovered yet, so why run? Even if someone finds out, those people here don't have the power to protect themselves now, what can they do with us? ”

A feeling of shaking came from the ground, and Xiong Mao finally realized that it was not the thoughts in his head that were shaking. It occurred to him that something was wrong, such as the fact that the low-lying places were now covered with thorns and thorns, and a sharp tusk pierced the tent and pierced his body.

The world seems to be quiet.

When he was carried by the ivory, smashed the tent, and could see the sky, he realized that he had thought more clearly.

Based on past experience, the camp they chose was on the hillside, so even if they would lose the hunt, they didn't have to worry about it. Because beasts are not stupid and will run away from low-lying places.

But at this time, the low-lying places were covered with thorns and pits for horses, and the unsuspecting slopes became a place for wild beasts.

He shouldn't have stayed in the tent when the hunt failed. Even, when he was hunting in the early days, he should have dug some pits on the hillside and something like that.

Ji Lin's people will get something in front of their camp when they are fine, and many people will learn. But they have always been dismissive, so they did not do it at all.

This is also because the previous ones will hunt too much and go smoothly. He never expected to fail. And today he was praised and promised by Hu Aman, he was too forgetful, and the result was a little careless.

He suddenly remembered the way the forest looked at him sometime when they were occupying this slope. Then another conjecture that chilled him even more rushed into his mind.

When he blackmailed Ji Lin with Youda, Ji Lin didn't react at all, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all. But when the bears took possession of the slopes, the forest had built such fortifications in the depressions on the side, which had never been seen before, and looked at him like that.

Does this mean that the supposedly omniscient Keiko had already expected all this, so he didn't bother with him?

Or did Keiko already know that he would run back first, deliberately failing the hunt, just so that he would be trampled to death by wild beasts in revenge for his blackmail and ridicule?

"It's so ruthless!" Thinking of the latter one, the more Xiong Mao thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he suddenly trembled. He didn't know if it was pain or fear.

Because he finally realized at this moment that he and Lin Ji were not of the same magnitude.

Thinking about this in an instant, he had to struggle from the ivory to find a chance to live. The mammoth shook his head and threw him high into the air, threw him down the hillside, and fell right on top of a horse, and died without looking at him.

……

A little earlier, Lin Ji didn't know that a jumping grasshopper would add drama to himself.

He gasped for breath as he looked at the seemingly endless black-ash wilderness ahead, and became seriously skeptical of his idea of running back against the deer.

Even if there are no pursuers behind, but if these people run back for more than ten kilometers, how many of them can stand?

He felt he should figure out a solution.

Cars are the best option, and they are also available in small towns.

Although the ground of the passage is uneven, the fire has burned the grass and trees, as long as you hold on to the line and walk from the lower lying places, it should be faster than running. The most important thing is to save effort.

The speed of the war horse is sixty or seventy kilometers when it sprints, but if it runs a long distance of ten kilometers, most of the combat power can run half the speed, which is considered good. Smaller deer will also have a reduced speed.

Lin Ji felt that if he used a car, he might be able to arrive at the same time as the people of Jilu and completely control the initiative on the battlefield.

But the problem is, there are not such big cars. Or that the number of cars is enough, and there are not so many drivers.

Get a big truck out, squeeze it all together, and then make a few more trips? Lin Ji was thinking about the possibility of such a plan.

After he had run about two kilometers, he met a wolf with twenty or thirty men.

The vassal tribes of the tiger barbarians withdrew as soon as they said they would withdraw. The wolf's withdrawal was not slow. But when he left, he found that Lin Ji had not followed, so he organized these twenty or thirty people to go backwards from the herd to find them.

As soon as Lin Ji saw him, he felt that his hesitation was immediately driven away, and he decided to stop being afraid and hesitant, and said to Fu Wolf: "Uncle, do you want to take the car?" ”

"Car?" The wolf couldn't keep up with Lin Ji's brain at all. Isn't it time to run faster? And what does it have to do with unicycles?

Lin Ji stopped, drew a circle on the ground with a radius of dozens of meters, and then shouted: "Don't come in!" ”

After saying this, a large box truck carrying livestock appeared in the circle.

"There's no time to explain, get in the car!" Lin Ji jumped out of the driver's seat and shouted to the sluggish crowd, "You can go up as much as you want, find a place to hold on after you go up!" ”

"Hold steady, hold steady, hold steady!" Lin Ji commanded.

The wolf also wanted to climb up, but was stopped by the forest tracks: "You follow me to the cab." I'll teach you how to drive when you get back. ”

Seventy or eighty people went up, and the forest trails were no longer for people to go up. He also didn't have a B card, so he felt a little weak, and there was no road surface here.

Lin Ji arranged a few more words to the people behind him, asked them to jog along, and then pulled the wolf into the driver's seat. He felt that this was definitely a big breakthrough in prehistory. It's not absolutely unprecedented for so many people to travel by car.

The wolf grabbed the handrail of the car, watched everything in front of him and rushed behind him, even throwing some of the elephants behind. He thought of the people who were still running behind him, and an amazing idea came to him.

In fact, it was his ideas that changed history.
