Chapter 86: Hide and Seek
After Erhua entered the mountain, it was as if it had evaporated, and there was no trace of it, and even the hunting dog that thought it could perform miracles could not track where Erhua was hiding. Seeing that it was completely dark and the search could not go on, these hunters came back to Tang Ge in despair.
The hunters thought that Shaowu would be furious, but who knows, Tang Ge just waved his hand casually, and let them go back to rest, and Tang Ge also went home and slept with his head covered, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
The next day, another pair of hunters went up the mountain. There were far fewer hunters than yesterday, and they didn't bring any hounds, and they began to shout everywhere when they went up the mountain.
"Erhua! Come out~ Shaowu asked you to go back to your life. ”
"Erhua, don't hide, Shaowu will let you go back."
"Erhua, Shaowu is waiting for you, hurry up and come out~"
"Erhua, Shaowu praised you for doing a good job, waiting to reward you!"
As a result, even though they shouted out their throats, Erhua did not appear, as if there was no such person on the Rocky Mountain.
Seeing this, the hunters' faces gradually turned cold.
"Erhua! You're too bold! How dare you let the young witch wait for you! ”
"I swear, it was really the young witch who asked us to come, you don't have to hide, come out quickly! Young witch waiting to see you! ”
"Isn't this kid not on the rocky mountain at all?"
"Erhua! You don't come out again! Let's go back to the young witch immediately! You bear the consequences! ”
"Hell yes! Where the hell did this kid go! ”
But no matter how the hunters coerced and lured, Erhua still did not appear, and the hunters really converged in one place, and Shi Shiran went down the mountain and entered the Holy Fire City.
In the afternoon, another group of hunters went up the mountain, the same kind of shouting, the meaning of the words is very simple, that is, the young witch is very angry, the consequences are very serious, quickly appear, to the young witch to ask for guilt, can be less punished, otherwise, the consequences imagine yourself!
Not surprisingly, the group of hunters still didn't make any achievements. So on the third day, a full fifty hunters with hounds made a careful trip up the mountain several times, again without any gain, and at noon they seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate, and went down the mountain in a huff. At this time, many people thought that Erhua had taken the opportunity to escape and was no longer on this mountain.
When it was almost evening, Tang Ge went up the mountain alone.
"Erhua! Come out and meet me! Standing on the top of the mountain, Tang Ge shouted majestically.
"Shaowu, I'm here." With a weak shout, Erhua poked her head out from behind a pile of rubble, her eyes were blood-red, and her body was dirty, and she was extremely haggard.
Glancing at the scar on Erhua's head, Tang Ge said lightly: "Two questions." First, have you been hiding in one place these days? ”
Erhua shook her head and said, "It's too easy to be found hiding in one place, so I've been changing places back and forth." ”
"Second question." Tang Ge then asked, "How did you mask the smell?" Why can't the hounds find you? ”
Erhua said: "The master has a potion that can cover the smell on the body after being applied, and even the most sensitive beast with a nose can't notice it." ”
Tang Ge nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you go back now and have a good rest, and early tomorrow morning, you come to see me." ”
Erhua nodded in agreement, staggered and dragged her tired body, and walked down the mountain.
The next day, before Erhua came, the old beggar Hong Qi took a step ahead of Erhua and found Tang Ge.
"What did you ask Erhua to do?" When the old beggar Hong Qi saw Tang Ge, he asked straight to the point.
"Let him do something very dangerous." Tang Ge replied lightly.
"Will there be dead people?" Hong Qi stared at Tang Ge and asked nervously.
"Yes," Tang Ge nodded, still in an indifferent tone, "There is a very high possibility of death." ”
Hong Qi pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "He hasn't learned enough yet, can you give him a little more time?" ”
Tang Ge said: "The autumn hunt is over, this is the biggest deadline. ”
Hong Qi was silent for a long time, then nodded and left.
After Erhua arrived, Tang Ge said directly to Erhua very seriously: "You have two choices, first, from now on, you can join the hunting team and enjoy the highest treatment among slaves!" Second, do me one thing for me, and from now on, you will be freed from slavery, but it is very dangerous. ”
Erhua replied without hesitation: "I am willing to work for Shaowu!" ”
Tang Ge sneered, "You don't plan to listen to what I want you to do?" This will most likely cost you your life! And it's going to die a terrible death! ”
Erhua smiled innocently and said, "If it weren't for Shaowu, I might have died a long time ago." It was also Shaowu who made me live a good life that I couldn't think of before, so no matter what you command, Shaowu, I will obey it. ”
Tang Ge looked directly into Erhua's eyes and asked coldly: "It's because your life is good now that I want to ask you, are you really willing to give up your current life and risk your life to perform an extremely dangerous mission?" ”
Erhua also looked directly into Tang Ge's eyes and said firmly: "I am willing!" ”
"Okay." Tang Ge nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can go back." From today onwards, you are part of the hunting party, and if you don't have a hunting mission, you don't have to work. ”
Erhua gave Tang Ge a deep salute, and left with a serious face.
Hunting party, the best job among slaves. Hunters who participate in the hunting team can be armed with a full set of gold weapons, and they usually have more free time and are better treated. Erhua just played hide and seek with Tang Ge once, and was arranged into the hunting team, and was also assigned a garden house, next door to the old beggar Hong Qi, which made many slaves extremely envious, and couldn't help but start imagining when they would have such good luck as Erhua.
Autumn hunting is a constant theme in the wasteland every year. Regardless of whether it is a big tribe or a small tribe, they always have to count on the harvest of autumn hunting in order to survive the difficult winter. Although there is no demand for autumn hunting, it is like a traditional festival, and it is necessary to participate in it no matter what.
It is more appropriate to say that it is a stone forest, where there are many huge rocks and no grass. Round, square, shoot-shaped stone pillars, as if growing out of the ground, in this valley, form a huge stone forest.
The rocks are densely covered with petroglyphs, recording the story of hunting that began many years ago, the sloped boulders have been carved into cliffs, and the stalagmites that are difficult to climb have been carved out of stairs, and the gravel on the ground has also been carefully put away and built into stone platforms. After generations of continuous transformation, this stone forest has become a well-deserved natural trap.
This stone forest is very large, densely packed in a canyon nearly two hundred meters wide, and it can be seen that this stone forest has been well protected. For thousands of years, this stone forest has not been buried by the rockfall and sand on both sides of the canyon, and it can be called a man-made miracle.
Banpo dolphins and more than a dozen tribes of the alliance hunt in this stone forest. On the appointed day, Tang Ge followed the mighty hunting team and arrived at the rocky beach, and this year, he decided to personally participate in the autumn hunting team.
The autumn hunting for two consecutive years was presided over by Tang Ge, and it also brought rich prey to Banpo dolphins that were unimaginable before. But Tang Ge, as a controller, has always been hard work, but not hands, up to now, he has not hunted a single prey in the autumn hunt, this year, he intends to break this norm.
When the Banpo Dolphin's team arrived at the rocky beach, other tribes also arrived. The Banpo dolphin did not participate in the hunt before the autumn hunt, and the Shixiang tribe and the Beishan tribe also did not participate, but the other tribes would not give up this tradition, so as soon as they met, the leaders of the various tribes kept telling Tang Ge that the sunspots were in the hunt before the autumn hunt, and all kinds of behaviors of slandering the Banpo dolphin and forming gangs.
Tang Ge didn't care about this at all. For two tribes who don't like each other, these things that Kuroko does are not excessive at all, and it can even be taken for granted, because the same thing, Banpo Dolphin is also doing it. Kuroko, on the surface, is straightforward, and even seems stupid, but his scheming has always been deep. Now, Kuroko is jumping up and down, making all kinds of overtures to other tribes in the wasteland, trying to win over allies, but it can only be said that he is already scared, and even some have lost his calm. Therefore, the more conspicuous the sunspot's performance, the easier it will be for the Banpo dolphin to deal with it, if the sunspot is the same as before, the whole day is not visible, just pretending to be crazy and stupid, and the Banpo dolphin doesn't know how to deal with it. After all, the Banpo dolphin belongs to the "outsider" in the wasteland, if you take the initiative to provoke the bullhead tribe, there will be many tribes who can't see it, and now, the sunspot takes the initiative to jump out and make enemies of the Banpo dolphin, and the Banpo dolphin is easy to do.
Although Tang Ge didn't care, he still had to do the superficial work, first thanking these tribal leaders one by one for their concern, and then asking about what Heizi had done, so that these tribal leaders could fully feel the importance that Banpo Dolphin attached to this matter and to himself.
On this side, Tang Ge patiently appeased the leaders of the tribes, but on the other side, the preparations for the autumn hunt were not delayed at all.
First of all, all kinds of traps on the rocky beach should be cleaned up. There are not many places where traps can be set on the rocky beach, but there are more or less some, especially a ditch that needs to be used to "cut off the flow" for the prey, and it is necessary to tidy it up.
Autumn hunting on the rocky beach can be said to be the simplest and most worry-free place in the wasteland. Migrating animals have evolved from generation to generation, and the migration route has been deeply engraved in their souls, so they will pass by here anyway, and when the time comes, hunters only need to climb the boulder, and when the prey passes, they will condescendingly hunt the prey one by one with bows and arrows, spears, and even falling rocks. After hunting a batch of prey, you only need to ignite the ditch that has already been buried to ignite the prey, and then release the trap after cleaning up the previous prey, so that the migrating animals can enter the stone forest again and continue to harvest the next batch of prey.
