A hunter in a large fur hat, a large white sede shoulder, and heavy felt boots stood in front of him.

He was carrying a quiver behind his back, a short knife with a sheath stuck in the belt around his waist, an angular face covered with knife-like wrinkles under the brim of his long hat, his closed lips showing fortitude, his chin covered with stiff short beard stubble, his sharp eyes fixed on him, and a double-barreled shotgun in his hand, standing a few steps away from him like an iron tower.

Yifei was stunned by the momentum of the big man opposite for a while, and after a while, he slowly spread his hands to the sides of his body, signaled to the other party that he had no malicious intent, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, uncle, don't misunderstand, I was passing by, I got lost in the mountains, I heard you have a noise here, I want to come over and ask for directions, you see you don't keep pointing a gun at me, it's weird." ”

"Passing by?"

Dahan was still holding his gun, not letting go in the slightest.

"You said you were passing by? You kid fool, is there a way here? Where have you not crossed the road? ”

It was not that I was amused by the words of the big man, and I thought about it, so I had to laugh and then said: "Uncle, I am really passing by, you look at my clothes, backpack and helmet, we are in the army, we are engaged in field training, we have to march 500 kilometers in five days to reach the assembly area, otherwise we will be eliminated, I want to hurry, just take a shortcut, I didn't expect to turn confused in this forest, you take a closer look." ”

Dahan hesitated, slowly put down his gun, and asked, "You just lit the fire in that forest over there?" What to eat? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You're right, that's where I started going round and round. As he spoke, he took a few steps forward.

"Stop!" There was another shout on the other side, and it was not a quick stop.

"Uncle, why don't you believe that? I really didn't lie to you. By the way, uncle, what are you doing? Is your home nearby? Why did you go up the mountain so early? ”

It's not a clever way to distract this big man's attention, it's always uncomfortable for people to force themselves with guns.

"Hehe, boy, it's your turn to ask me, it's okay to tell you, I'm a ranger here, my family lives in the village at the foot of the mountain over there, this morning the mountain wants to take advantage of the snow to find food for the animals to come out to get some game, I saw smoke in the forest from afar, I hurried over, I saw your footprints before I arrived at the place, I knew that someone was stealing up the mountain, I didn't expect to meet you daredevil." As he spoke, the big man put down his gun and walked over.

Yifei also relaxed, and came over with a few dry laughs.

"What did you just say, young man? You were a soldier? Training? Dahan asked.

"Yes, we are engaged in wilderness survival training, and we have to march 500 kilometers in five days without support and only two days of food, and this is already the second day, no, we haven't gone far until now, let alone meet people, I finally heard your movement here, so I hurriedly ran over to ask for directions, but I didn't expect you to be killed by the end."

"Haha! You little mouth is quite able to speak in the vernacular, what did you just say? Wilderness survival training? Is there still this kind of training in the current troops? ”

It was not a simple introduction to him, and finally asked: "Uncle, in which direction do you think I should go to the valley on the other side of the mountain?" ”

Dahan looked at him carefully again, and shook his head: "I advise you to go back and walk along that river, so that at least you can get to the place you want to go safely, go this way?" It's not that I underestimate you, just your physique, your age, don't think about it, don't throw your life here, go back quickly. ”

It's not that I'm unhappy: "Uncle, why do you underestimate people?" You can just point in one direction, and I can handle the rest. ”

The big man put the gun on his shoulder: "Young man, don't delay the time, hurry back, you can still get to the bottom of the mountain before dark, I still have something to do, let's go." ”

With that, he began to walk in the other direction.

"Uncle, don't go, uncle!"

Seeing that the hunter was getting farther and farther, he muttered in a low voice, "What's the big deal, I don't believe in this evil." ”

After saying that, he checked the coordinates again, turned around and walked in the other direction.

It was almost noon now, and he had been delayed for hours in vain, and he was not anxious to speed up his pace, and he marked the tree with his dagger, while keeping an eye out for any signs that might have passed by in the past.

Maybe I was blinded to it, this snowy environment is really unfamiliar, but it also confirms the uncle's warning from the other side, this place is much more dangerous than the previous location. It was not to climb up little by little by the exposed tree roots, rocks, etc., but the irregular horizontal line of the ridge was still out of reach, and after walking up for a while, a huge ice wall stopped in front of his eyes, he looked left and right, all the same, climbing this ice wall should be close to the top of the mountain, but here is more dangerous, there is no place for him to use his strength to climb the things, it is all smooth ice, and he didn't even go up a meter after trying a few times.

Neither stood under the ice wall with his hands on his hips, panting heavily, while looking for a suitable place to climb, breathing for a while, accumulating some physical strength, nor gritting his teeth, taking out his tied flying claws from his waist, and throwing them upwards hard, not even throwing them a few times, he changed places again, and changed several places many times in a row, and the flying claws finally hooked one, he tried hard, and after making sure that the flying claws were eating, he began to climb up.

After all, it is not a professional shoe for climbing the snow mountain, nor every time you move up a meter, you have to toss back and forth several times, and you step on the ice wall, but after all, you move up, and you don't breathe a sigh of relief, continue to move up, and climb a few steps, he suddenly heard a slight breaking sound above, his heart tightened, and he looked at a bulge on the top, and wanted to rush there to change the position of a fixed flying claw. I only heard a loud cracking and crisp sound, and the rope in my hand softened suddenly, and the whole person rolled down to the mountain stream not far away, along with the broken ice and rocks on it.
