Chapter 161: The Eagle's Stratagem

Zhang Yilei was in charge of firing the pottery, Meng Tianchu went to the sea to fish by himself, and let Xia Fengyi sit on the reef by the sea to observe and be vigilant, and if he found the white eagle, he shouted loudly.

For a whole day, the white eagle did not appear, the camp had been renovated, all the trees around it, including the taller shrubs, had been cut down to make the view very wide, and a simple hut had been built not far from the camp after sawing the cut wood into planks. The thatched hut has a covered roof, and there is a bonfire guard a few steps away.

At night, Meng Tianchu took Xia Fengyi and Feiyan to brag and talk to the brothers in the temporary camp, and saw that the camp was open all around, and there were several bonfires around it, which lit up half of the hill, not to mention the eagle, even if it was a fly flying, I am afraid that it could be seen, and it was late at night, so I returned to the cave with satisfaction.

Xia Fengyi and Feiyan were talking by the fire in the cave. Seeing Meng Tianchu come in, they all greeted him affectionately, put their arms around him left and right, and sat down on the stone slab.

Meng Tianchu said: "It's all arranged outside, you can rest assured." ”

Feiyan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Young Master, that eagle is a ghost, even if it cuts down the surrounding trees, it may not be able to stop it." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and didn't speak.

Xia Fengyi hugged Meng Tianchu and said in a low voice: "Husband, is it really the eagle that killed the wronged ghost?" ”

"Well, what, do you still have any doubts about this?" Meng Tianchu asked with a smile.

"I always think it's a little weird, just now Feiyan and I were still talking about it, I remember the last time we went to the ancient temple, when you solved that case, you said that there are no ghosts in this world at all. Why do you insist today that it was the ghostly eagle who did it? ”

Feiyan affectionately hugged Meng Tianchu's other arm, and her big eyes flashed: "Yes, I haven't paid attention to it during the day, when grandma said this just now, I also think it's a little weird, what you said today, young master, is completely opposite to the previous one, I don't know which one of your words is true!" ”

"Love you guys is real!" Meng Tianchu hugged the second daughter one by one and kissed each other, "There is one thing you have to remember, what I say and do." It's all purposeful. As for what purpose, you will find out later. ”

"That's... Is it the one who is killed by the ghost and the eagle? "This problem is not solved. Xia Fengyi always felt unsteady.

Meng Tianchu looked at the stone wall in front of him in a daze, for a long time. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you, I'll vouch for my life!" ”

Xia Fengyi Bingxue was smart, and when she heard this, she didn't ask any more questions, and the kitten was generally nestled in Meng Tianchu's arms.

Early the next morning, Meng Tianchu canceled the hunt and let Xia Fengyi and Feiyan serve as guards on the reef. Watch the sky to see if the eagle is coming. Let Su Wen help the boat boss build a ship, and Zhang Yilei continued to fire pottery. The rest of the people followed him into the sea to practice swimming and familiarize themselves with the water.

These Dongchang fans almost didn't know water, and after listening to Meng Tianchu's order, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Meng Tianchu said to the crowd: "We have to return to the land." It may take a few days to sail at sea, and if you are not familiar with the water, it will be dangerous, so follow me and run to the shallow sea area in front to practice swimming! ”

The foreman had an order, and he took the lead, so all the fans didn't dare to disobey, followed Meng Tianchu to the shallow sea area, took off his clothes and pants and went into the sea to practice swimming.

Since the sea water in this area of water is very shallow, there will be no problem with safety, after Meng Tianchu taught them the basic essentials, let Yu Xinlong take charge, went ashore by himself, and sat next to the pile of clothes to supervise their training.

While they were practicing holding their breath underwater, Meng Tianchu quickly searched all the clothes that the fans on the shore had taken off, but did not find what they hoped to find. I couldn't help frowning.

After a day of practice, these fans have mastered the basic swimming skills, although they are still far from the standard of good water quality, but at least they can tread water and float in the water, so as not to be a scale.

Xia Fengyi and Feiyan nervously looked at the blue sky and white clouds for a day, not to mention the white eagle, not even a small bird appeared.

For a few days without incident, Meng Tianchu led the fans to soak in the sea every day, in addition to practicing swimming, but also fishing by the way, not only the water quality has been greatly improved, but the food is also guaranteed.

Zhang Yilei's pottery has also been fired, some large and some small, jars, jars, bowls, plates, and cups. The people no longer have to lie on the edge of the pond to drink water.

The shipbuilding skills of the boat boss are very high, and what they want to build is only a sampan that can accommodate a dozen people, and there is no need to build a regular big ship, so the speed is still very fast.

On this morning, Meng Tianchu was about to take the fans to the sea to practice swimming and fishing, when suddenly, Xia Fengyi and Feiyan, who were on guard, pointed to the sky and shouted in unison: "Eagle! The white eagle is coming! ”

Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction they pointed, and sure enough, under the blue sky and white clouds next to the hill where they lived, a white eagle was gliding slowly!

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "Don't speak, don't disturb it." Let's touch it slowly and kill it! ”

Since there are no birds on this island, and rabbits and other animals are not afraid of people, they can be beaten directly with sticks, so they did not make bows and arrows, and immediately picked up stones from the beach and quietly touched them to the top of the hill.

The eagle was still hovering at the top of the hill, and the shadow cast by its huge wings gave a chill.

When the group touched the vicinity of the top of the mountain, the eagle seemed to sense the danger and flapped its wings to fly down the mountain.

Yu Xinlong shouted: "Fight!" ”

Yu Xinlong, Su Wen, Wang Jinhua, Zhang Yilei and Xiao Zhenpeng, Cai Qingworm six people's stones shot towards the eagle, Xiao Zhenpeng and Cai Qingworm's martial arts are average, when the stone is close to the eagle, the strength declines, Yu Xinlong, Su Wen, Wang Jinhua and Zhang Yilei martial arts are powerful, this stone is full of strength, especially Yu Xinlong, it is infinitely powerful, although the distance is relatively far, but the four stones hit the eagle's abdomen heavily.

With a terrible chirp, the eagle soared into the air, flapping its huge wings, and then flipped over. Like a shooting star, it fell into the trees below the mountain.

Meng Tianchu followed behind, saw it clearly, and shouted, "It's hit!" Maybe you're hurt, chase after it! Don't let it run. ”

Feiyan supported Xia Fengyi and the boat boss to follow behind, seeing this scene, the second daughter clapped her hands and shouted, "Great! Hit! ”

As he spoke, Yu Xinlong had already rushed down the hill with four fans and chased after the bushes where the eagle fell. Xiao Zhenpeng and Fanzi Cai Qingworm followed Meng Tianchu to take care of them, because they had to take care of Xia Fengyi and Feiyan. They didn't dare to run too fast.

When they came to the bushes, they saw a black shadow fluttering its wings from the bushes. It was the white eagle that was struggling to fly to the sea. At the same time, a stone shot out from the other side of the bush, heading straight for the eagle's head, but it was Yu Xinlong who hit it.

The eagle's body sank sharply, and he skimmed away from the rock, gliding towards the sea, and a few more stones pursued the eagle. The eagle soared into the air and flapped its wings. The stones shot out from beneath its feet.

The eagle flew higher and higher, turning into a small black dot. Disappeared into the distance.

Then I heard Yu Xinlong's remorseful voice: "He***, let it run away again!" ”

Xiao Zhenpeng hurriedly shouted: "Commander Yu, come here." Master Meng is here. ”

In a moment, Yu Xinlong and the others each came out of the woods and gathered around Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu asked, "How is it?" ”

"It's a shame to let it run away!"

At the top of the mountain just now, they were far away from the eagle, and they hit from the bottom to the top, and their strength was reduced by more than half, so they failed to kill the eagle on the spot.

Wang Jinhua said: "Yes, it would be nice if we were ready to have bows and arrows." ”

Zhang Yilei said: "The distance is so far, even if there is a bow and arrow, it may not be able to hurt it." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said: "It's always better to have a bow and arrow, let's prepare a bow and arrow, next time we must wait for it to enter the range before shooting, succeed in one fell swoop, and can't miss again." ”

Yu Xinlong, Xiao Zhenpeng and others all bowed down to receive the order.

Cai Qingworm looked around and asked, "What about Su Wen?" ”

Yu Xinlong looked around and said suspiciously: "Yes, why didn't Su Wen come?" ”

Meng Tianchu's heart sank, and he said urgently: "It's not good! Something may have happened, go in and search! ”

Yu Xinlong and the others each carried a blade or a stone and returned to the woods to look for it. Xiao Zhenpeng and Cai Qingworm held their blades in their hands, looked around vigilantly, and were on guard.

After a while, I heard Yu Xinlong shouting in the woods: "Lord Meng, it's not good, Su Wen is dead!" ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly ran towards the sound, and when he came closer, he saw Yu Xinlong squatting next to a corpse, inspecting the corpse. Wang Jinhua and Zhang Yilei were worried about destroying the scene, so they stood far away and did not get close.

Meng Tianchu came to the corpse, only to see Fanzi Su Wen lying on the ground, with a pool of blood near his head.

Yu Xinlong stood up and said to Meng Tianchu: "Su Wen is dead, he must have been pecked through the head by that eagle when he was scattered to search just now." ”

"What's going on?"

He led the four of them down the hill and found no one where the eagle had fallen, so he decided to disperse and search. The eagle must have been hiding somewhere in the woods, suddenly attacked Suwen and fled with his wounds. ”

Meng Tianchu stared at Yu Xinlong, nodded, and squatted down to carefully examine the corpse.

Su Wen was fully dressed, there were no obvious signs of fighting, but there was a hole on the top of his head, which was the same as the dead Fang Lang and Xu Xiaobin, a triangular wound, and the brain part of the wound cavity was missing, and he died instantly.

After Meng Tianchu carefully examined the wound on the top of Su Wen's head, he didn't speak, and began to carefully inspect the ground around him.

After the inspection, he frowned and said: "This eagle is really cunning, hiding and attacking suddenly, so it seems that this eagle may also be injured, deliberately pretending to be injured, leading you into the woods, and launching a surprise attack while you are scattered to search the place." ”

Feiyan said nervously: "This eagle is so cunning, and it can set a trap, how can an ordinary eagle do it, it must be that person's unjust soul has changed into the ground!" ”

Xia Fengyi stabbed her and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, it will affect your young master's judgment." ”

"Oh~!" Feiyan agreed, looking around nervously, for fear that the eagle would go and return.

Yu Xinlong was even more nervous, thought about it, and said: "What Lord Meng said is reasonable, it stands to reason that under the strength of our few stones, although it will not kill this beast on the spot, the sound is also very heavy, how can this beast be so light when it flies away, it can easily dodge our stones, as if it was not injured at all, I was a little puzzled at the time, and now after listening to Lord Meng's words, I know that this beast is deliberately pretending to be injured to paralyze us, and after we disperse and search, suddenly attack!" More cunning than a man! ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What we are facing now is a bird of prey that is more cunning than a human, this guy comes and goes silently, one blow kills, we must be more careful, from now on, we are not allowed to act alone, immediately rush to make bows and arrows to defend ourselves!" ”

All the fans agreed in unison. In fact, it is said that there are only five people, including Yu Xinlong, Xiao Zhenpeng, Wang Jinhua, Zhang Yilei and Caiqingworm, and the other three were killed by piercing their heads.

On the same day, the captain of the boat stopped what he was doing and began to make bows and arrows, and the others did it. It's just that there is no blacksmith, and the arrowheads can only be made of sharp bamboo, and the sharpness is greatly reduced.

Soon the bow and arrow were ready, and several fans had one in their hands. Because it is different from the normal subway bow and arrow, it must be familiar with it separately, and that afternoon, except for the boat boss who took Wang Jinhua to continue building the ship, the rest of the people practiced archery.

Meng Tianchu didn't practice, he concentrated on fishing with his copper spear, after this period of fishing practice, his spear throwing technique became more and more mature, and he could almost reach nine out of ten. It's just that after the fish kept being hunted, the fish in the area began to know that humans were dangerous. So he rarely swam to Meng Tianchu's side.

Fortunately, the ship was about to be built, and the pottery for the water was fired.

For the next few days, the white eagle seemed to have disappeared and never reappeared.

Finally, the big ship was built, larger than the life-saving sampan that Meng Tianchu and the others escaped, with a mast and a crossbar added in the middle, and the original sail was cut small and hung up. In addition, a simple canopy was added to shelter from the rain and convenience. Of course, the workmanship is much rougher because the tools are not in hand. The bottom of the big ship was already laid with rolling logs, and after the support brackets were removed, the big boat slid into the sea along the rolling logs laid on the ground.

Tie the boat to the seaside water, fill it with stones equivalent to their weight, and then observe if there is any leakage.

The craftsmanship of the boss of this boat is really good, and after observing it all day, not a drop of water has been leaked from the boat. The airtightness is very good.

Everyone was very happy, and Meng Tianchu immediately decided to set off the next day.

That night, in the cave, the second daughter snuggled naked in Meng Tianchu's arms.

Xia Fengyi said: "Husband, thanks to this storm, we have become a real husband and wife. ”

"Yes, that's also called a blessing in disguise. After going through this storm, I got the two of you, and I was content. ”

Feiyan got up, lay on Meng Tianchu's body, and asked with a smile, "What the young master said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true, with you two beauties, especially my lady, like flowers and jade, sinking fish and geese, and you quirky little girl, you two are considerate and sensible, and obedient, what else do I not be satisfied with!"

"Hehehehe, that's good, but..."Feiyan tilted her head and looked at Meng Tianchu mischievously, "What about Zuo Jiayin Zuo girl?" ”

Meng Tianchu was slightly stunned, yes, during this time, he was very harmonious with the second daughter on this isolated island, and a series of murders made people highly nervous, so he forgot Zuo Jiayin, and now Feiyan mentioned it, Zuo Jiayin's pretty face, lovely personality, and sassy and heroic demeanor quietly hit my heart.

Feiyan kissed Meng Tianchu's cheek: "Young Master, Feiyan can see that Miss Zuo is infatuated with you, what are you going to do when you go back?" ”

"Hehe, what do you say?" Meng Tianchu didn't know how to answer for a while, so he simply came to advance and retreat.

"Me? I'm just a slave... No, hehe, it's just a concubine of yours, young master, I don't have any right to speak. This matter has to be decided by the young master and grandma! ”

"Ghost Witty!" Meng Tianchu wrung his breasts lovingly, turned his head and asked Xia Fengyi on the other side: "Lady, what do you say?" ”
