Chapter 41 Conversation
In the end, the bear's strength to resist became less and less, and Summer just stopped.
It's not that he doesn't want to smash it, but he is tired of smashing. Even if the bear skin is thick, the fat with a big waist and a round waist on the body is really a perfect layer of protection, and I have always felt this way when I smashed it with my fist just now.
And now the change to a heavier spear barely made the blind bear feel a little pain.
Although the bear skin is behind, but the repeated smashing in the summer also makes the black bear uncomfortable, thanks to the fact that he is now preparing to eat so fat for the winter, otherwise he will encounter this repeated heavy blow in the spring and summer, and he will directly lose the bear's life here.
Seeing that Summer stopped attacking, the black bear slowly got up at this time, and then looked at Summer vigilantly, but he didn't have the slightest desire to eat him, on the contrary, he was a little afraid of Summer.
It watched vigilantly as Summer would rush towards it again, slowly moving backwards until it was safe to reach a certain distance before turning around and running towards the forest.
"Hah!"
Seeing that the black bear was scared, Xia couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he shouted directly at the black bear who was far away.
When the black bear heard this, it immediately crawled and ran quickly towards the depths of the dense forest, which was faster than it could pursue its prey.
When she knew that the black bear had completely disappeared, Summer was also relieved. He didn't have much strength just now, and the tiger's mouth was smashed repeatedly, and now his hands were bleeding.
And the heavy armor on the body is really getting more and more strenuous and hard, it seems that this thing has a very strong defense, but it is not suitable for long-term combat.
Seeing that there was no threat around, Summer threw the spear aside and removed his armor.
"Whew...... Much cooler. ”
Without the turtle shell on his body, Summer suddenly felt ten times lighter, as if his strength had also increased.
"Yes, Engong. Are you okay? The dog baby came over and asked.
"It's okay, just take a break." Summer looked at this honest, somewhat dark young man and said.
Except for a few cuts in his hands, there really wasn't much to do in the summer.
Seeing that there was really nothing to do in the summer, the dog baby turned around and went back, and then began to support the injured old leader.
After resting for a while, Summer regained some strength, and saw that the two people who had been injured by the black bear at this time had been carried by other ginseng pickers, and were listening to the orders of an old man.
Being able to help each other doesn't seem to be a big traitor. And this old man seems to be the leader of this team, it seems that these people have a lot of respect for him, and even if he is injured, there is no big mess.
While resting in the summer, I observed the actions of these people next to me, and left a roughly good impression in my heart.
"Engong, the old boss said that we should go find a place to sleep first, now it is almost dark, this mountain is too dangerous, and a lot of wild goods will come out. Eun Gong, are you going with us? The dog baby walked to Summer's side again and conveyed the old man's original words to Summer, asking him about his intentions.
How could the summer, when there was a lack of a guide in the mountains, refuse at this time, and immediately agreed. After putting on the armor, he carried the spear and followed the team of Cai Shenren.
For the summer that saved everyone, the ginseng pickers looked at the summer with awe in their eyes and gave a friendly gesture.
After supporting the two wounded, the team immediately set off into the depths of the dense forest to find a campsite.
……
As night fell, the crowd didn't go far and finally found a campsite in a clearing. This time, the old man was serious, cautious and cautious in choosing this campsite.
After all, he didn't dare to choose a campsite negligently, otherwise the tragedy would still happen this afternoon.
The campsite has a water source just a short distance away, and there is a natural low slope at the rear that is not too steep just to be leeward. Relatively speaking, there is a certain guarantee of safety and food.
The mountain at night is very quiet, in addition to the sound of insects and frogs, from time to time there are a few roars of predatory beasts, with the cool and majestic night breeze drifting far, far away.
It was dark all around, and the forest, which originally seemed full of vitality in the sunlight during the day, was now covered by the night, forming a distorted and strange pattern under the veil of night, as if a group of evil ghosts were dancing their teeth and claws, and from time to time the trees made a loud noise, making this strange atmosphere even more permeable.
The bright bonfire illuminates the surroundings at the moment, giving people a little sense of security in this dark and cold night for the light and warmth. The crackling sound of the campfire burning comforted the sensitive and fragile nerves of every lost person.
Summer took off his armor and sat in front of the campfire, his face contemplative, the light of the fire reflecting on his face so uncertain that it was impossible to see what he was thinking.
"Drink some water, Eun Gong." The old man limped and held a kettle made of bamboo and handed it to Summer.
Summer looked up at the old man, smiled and took it with both hands, and then said thank you.
"Hey, it should be us saying thank you to you, if it weren't for you today, we would have been accepted by the mountain god a long time ago." The old man waved his hand and said.
Summer saw that the old man's foot seemed to be twisted today, so he gave way to the old man's head, and the old man sat down.
"Are the two injured all right?"
"The two were not seriously injured, but they were knocked out by the blind bear, and they were fine except for some scratches on their bodies." The old man sighed and said, "Although there are no serious injuries, the situation is not optimistic, and their external injuries are easy to festering after staying in the mountains for a long time." ”
"So what are you waiting for?" Summer said, "I'll send them back early tomorrow morning." ”
By the way, I'll follow you out of this painful mountain as soon as possible.
"Hey......" The old man let out a long sigh when he heard this, and his eyes as he stared at the campfire were full of complicated expressions.
"Could it be that the old man has something unspeakable?" Seeing the old man's bitter face, Summer couldn't help but ask.
When the old boss heard Xia say this, his face was bitter, and he was silent for a long time, and his bitter throat finally made a shriveled voice, "Dissatisfied with Engong, we were also forced to enter the mountain this time......"
"Our ancestors have been ginseng pickers in this mountain for generations, and the ginseng picks are well-known in the surrounding villages. Even many of the officials and nobles of the original Yan Kingdom sent special people to buy them thousands of miles away. My ancestors once offered a thousand years of ginseng to the king of Yanguo. ”
"Although ginseng harvesting has brought prosperity to our village, it has also brought a lot of trouble. Since the Yan State was destroyed by the Qin State, our entire village has fled to the mountains in order to escape the war, and has taken root near here. ”
"But I never thought that I had escaped the war, but I couldn't avoid the Donghu barbarians. We have been disturbed by this group of barbarians for generations, but we have always been able to live by the wealth of ginseng picking. ”
"But I never thought that this year, a nearby tribe would ask us to pick some thousand-year-old ginseng and present it to a powerful tribe above him. Because the tribal leader above him has a great life, and he wants some treasures in this mountain. ”
"But where can I say that there is ginseng for thousands of years, our ancestors have been collecting ginseng for so many years, and they have been dedicated to a king of Yan in my grandfather's generation. I haven't found one in the back. ”
"But the barbarian who killed that day threatened us with the lives of more than a hundred people in the village, and if we couldn't hand it over, they would kill all of us. It's the third day, and there's still no sign of it. ”
"If it weren't for Engong's efforts to save him today, I'm afraid I'm ...... Ay. ”
