Yang Li didn't want Yulia to follow, but she came anyway.

It's been nearly half a month since I returned to ancient times, and the bullet of the big sniper has not recovered, but the girl seems to be used to the life of using flint weapons, and a small axe is wielded happily, and throwing it is basically a hundred shots, and the throwing skill is close to MAX.

To the south of the ashwood settlement is a hill, and between the hills and settlements is a small plain, where the woolly rhinoceros is located and wild boars are found in the shrubs of the hills.

Yang Jiao's biggest reliance on this trip is Huya, he is undoubtedly the top warrior on this continent, during the years of exile, Huya haunted the wilderness, hunted for a living, tracking and setting traps are also very skillful.

"Huya, do you have any suggestions?" Yang Li didn't dare to take out the map at this time, out of the camp of the gray wood settlement, the rain became heavier and heavier, the raindrops were connected into white lines, and the sound of water droplets around him hit the blades of grass and the ground, everyone was soaked, but the morale was high.

Tiger Fang narrowed his eyes and looked around, he had inherited Neanderthal characteristics, his brow bones were so high that he blocked most of the rain that flowed to his eyes, causing it to flow down his eyebrows, and by the harsh white light of a few bolts of lightning, he could see the terrain: "The woolly rhinoceros does not leave the plains, and its resting place is often on some higher platform, preferably with bare rocks and lush moss." ”

Xue affirmed Huya's idea, saying that he had indeed seen the woolly rhinoceros before, but with his current level, he still had no ability to hunt.

However, Huya does not recommend hunting the woolly rhinoceros first, because the combat effectiveness of this giant beast is too strong, and then everyone hunts wild boars to enter the bushes, in case anyone is injured, then it is difficult to travel in the hills.

Instead, it is better to go into the hills to hunt wild boars, which are usually in herds, and then hunt woolly rhinos on the way home.

Yang Li weighed the ransom price of the Xue family's mother and son, eight wild boars, one woolly rhino, according to the price seen in the bazaar of the gray wood tribe during the day, one pottery can be exchanged for two wild boars, then he only needs to pay four pieces of pottery, he can meet Bai Er's asking price.

So how many wild boars can be hunted, if they are not enough, they can go back and buy them.

Only the woolly rhinoceros can't exchange for goods, so he must go hunting by himself.

Leader Zhang's longbow is now in Xue's hand, and he is like a treasure, saying that when he gets used to this weapon, let alone hunting wild boars, even a lone saber-toothed tiger dares to try.

Huya smiled and patted his head, saying that when you have the confidence to hunt wild bears, you will hunt the saber-toothed tiger again, so that you will have enough strength to ensure that you will not be injured in the hunt.

After a long journey, they finally entered the hills, and entered through the animal path at the edge of the bush, and there was darkness all around, and the heavy rain was partially isolated by the bushes overhead, and the momentum was finally not as great as before.

Huya and Xue Yi left and right, observing the traces on the ground and leaves, Xue suddenly squatted down on the spot, whistled, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward.

The muddy ground has split-toed hoof prints, which were left by wild boars.

Huya counted them and judged that there were seven, two or three of them little piglets, who had walked past here about half an hour earlier.

A silent hunt was launched, everyone followed the hoof prints for three miles, in front of them was a depression, the pigs rested in the middle, Yang Li saw the piglets, suddenly his eyes were golden, and he instructed everyone on the spot.

"The piglet should be caught alive, never hurt, I will take it back and raise it!"

The domestication of domestic animals is an important step in the development of human civilization, and achieving this step means that more people have a stable source of meat, and the number and physique of the population are likely to improve.

There are four large pigs, and no one but the tiger fangs can resist the creature's charge head-on, but the skill of humans in hunting can fully compensate for their physical inferiority.

The depression has a flat exit, and as luck would have been tonight, the position was downwind.

That is, go there and set a trap so that the prey will not be discovered because of the smell.

Yulia's throwing axe, Hufang's javelin, and Xue's longbow and white feathers seriously injured the pigs in the first blow, and the fierce attack made them unable to resist, but screamed and spread their hooves and rushed towards the exit of the depression.

Yang Jiao's javelin was thrown off, but this guy didn't believe in evil, so he threw his steel-headed spear as a javelin.

The result is obvious, but it is also a failure.

Seeing that the three heroic units were howling and stabbing the pigs in a rage, Yang Li could only shake his head and sigh, stepped forward with a wooden stick, and pulled the little pigs who were stunned in place together, tied their hooves with ropes and took them away.

The four pigs had been killed by this time, two of them had died under the tiger's tooth axe, and the other two had fallen into a trap and were stabbed to death by Yulia and Xue with spears.

These pigs need to be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise the smell of blood will quickly spread through the forest as soon as the heavy rain stops, attracting ferocious predators.

So Yulia took three little pigs in her hands, Yang Li and Xue each dragged one head, and Huya carried two heads alone, and returned along the same road, leaving the area of hills and shrubs.

After the hunt in the first half of the night, God seemed to be extrajudicial and gracious, and the heavy rain actually stopped, the ink clouds dispersed, and behind it was a bright silver moon.

Yang Li and the others have already consumed a lot of physical strength, he found a flat land to build a bonfire, let everyone dry their bodies, everyone brought a little dry food, and at this time it was just time to take it out and eat it to replenish their physical strength.

Yulia used Yang Li's body to block the sight of others, and secretly stuffed something in his hand, Yang Li took it out and saw that it was actually a piece of dark chocolate.

This high-calorie, high-sugar food, which also contains a large concentration of caffeine, was definitely an artifact to replenish physical strength in ancient times.

"You still have this!" Yang Li only knew that there was a small piece of chocolate in the backpack when Mao Mei crossed over, but he didn't expect that this greedy chick would still be kept until now.

"It's not that you can't afford to eat it," Yulia pursed her lips, looking a little aggrieved, "The last piece is gone, and there will be no more in the future." ”

Yang Li was stunned for a moment, and handed the chocolate to the girl: "You can eat it, I don't like sweets." ”

"No, I've already eaten a piece." Yulia turned her head away, looking like she didn't look at it.

Yang Li grabbed Yulia's shoulders, pulled her over, and pretended to be distressed: "When it comes to chocolate, I only like the mocha flavor of almonds and raisins, and the rest are heretics." ”

"Who's to say, milk chocolate is good." Yulia immediately retorted.

"Well, why don't you do that," Yang Li whispered with a frown, "this unsavory dark chocolate...... I can't eat half a piece at most, you can solve the other half, okay. ”

Without waiting for Yulia to refute, Yang Li broke the chocolate in half and brought the larger one to the girl's mouth.

Yulia's neck and ears were red, her thin red lips opened slightly, and she took the piece of chocolate in her mouth.

The bonfire is in full swing, and the early autumn night is completely cool.

Huya hooked Xue's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Young man, it takes a long time for the big leader's animal skin to be roasted, do you think we shouldn't be idle?" ”

"Huh? Ah yes, let's go around and around. ”

"Fool, go find the woolly rhinoceros, it's definitely nearby!" The tiger slapped the boy on the head, shoved the longbow into his hand, and pulled the strap away from the campfire.

Yulia couldn't help but laugh when she saw the backs of Huya and Xue leaving in a hurry.

"What a simple world, isn't it," Yang Li picked up a branch and added it to the pile of wood on the campfire, "It's just that there are two more passers-by." ”

"No, we are not passers-by, Yang, you have become a part of this world, there are tribes who fear you, and there is land waiting for you to reclaim," Yulia played with the fur edge of Yang Li's animal skin, "and those interesting tribes, I want to see them." ”

Yang Jiao sighed lightly: "In the Central Plains, there are more than 10 million small settlements like gray wood or river bays, I want to live quietly in the river bay, but no matter what, the children of the Han family always have an inexplicable mission, and this mission is destined to one day, I will face them with swords." ”

"Mission?" Yulia was puzzled.

"Mission," Yang Li emphasized, as if the word had great magic power over him, "the Chinese nation has grown from a small piece by the Yellow River to a future 9.6 million square kilometers of Quartet land, with mountains and deserts in the west, Gobi and tundra in the north, and endless seas in the east and south, and in the whole of East Asia, we have conquered almost all the land that can be used for farming!" Is this vast land made possible by a glass of wine and laughter? Marriage can't be, commerce can't, alliances can't! ”

For the Maozi people, who had been divided for most of history, the concept seemed incomprehensible, but Yulia listened attentively.

"My ancestors conquered Dongyi and wiped out Jiuli."

"Qin Shi Huang annexed the Six Kingdoms, swept the Eight Wildernesses, and the Central Plains were thus one."

"The Huns came, where did they come after; The Uighurs came, and where they came after; The Xianbei people have come, and where have they been; The Turks came, where did they come after; The Liao, Jin, and Mongols have all been here, and let's see what they have become later. ”

"So the White Rock tribe is not the starting point, and the Gray Wood tribe will not be the end, or to be conquered, or to choose to surrender, it is their future fate, since I am here, this mission will also fall on my shoulders, even if there are more killings in this, even if it leaves a monstrous infamy in the history books, I Yang Li will also get this thing done."

Yulia tilted her head and asked, "So what is your mission?" ”

Yang Jiao patted the dust on his body and stood up, and said with a smile It wasn't arranged by you before, I scavenged all the delicious food from all over the world and fed you.

Where is Mao Mei willing to believe it, she showed her claws and was about to scratch Yang Jiao's body.

"Okay, okay," Yang Li finally stopped the girl's madness, and explained calmly, "The so-called inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 soldiers." It is said that you are a fighting nation, but in fact, from the perspective of the whole history, we are also one, and the mission is also simple, it is nothing more than a process of traveling around the world, that is, China-"

"Great unification."
