Chapter 66: Faith I
Only Shi Shaoying has an extreme thirst for knowledge, because the learning content is "disorganized", and he usually likes to delve into some "side ways", so the test results in the school are always in the middle, and in the eyes of the instructor, they are not pleasing or annoying, and they are as plain as a glass of boiled water.
Dogs ranked 50 and later need at least 40 to 80 repeated practice if they want to perfectly express their owner's new instructions, and even then, after practice, they only have a 30% chance of responding to their owner's new instructions, and they cannot form permanent habits, and if the practice is interrupted for a period of time, they will forget all and need to learn again.
There is no need to think about it, the bloodlines of the half-domestic, half-stray hunting dogs in the small town of Argov must be ranked after the fifty, and maybe even after the hundred, and it would theoretically take at least forty repeated stimuli to make them remember.
However, death is definitely not included in this!
Even if he is a fool and idiot, he knows to be afraid in the face of death, and he knows how to dodge when he encounters pain. This is an instinctive response that creatures don't need their brains to make at all, and whether it's the Poodle with the highest IQ, or the Pekingese with an IQ ranking of seventy-three, it will make no difference in this regard!
Every time they smell the familiar scent of roses, they want to rush up with their owners, and when they find a target to exchange for more slices of meat, they will invariably see an explosion at the place where the smell is generated.
Once, twice, three times, four times...... Eleven times!
Shi Shaoying used this explosion that didn't seem to have any effect, while injecting the power of "confidence" into the armed rebels behind him, he quietly instilled the concept of "rose fragrance = danger = death" into the hearts of several surviving hunting dogs through the power of death threat, until a law was formed that was enough to make them feel frightened and even collapse because of it!
Under the rule of this law, the hounds who have narrowly escaped the catastrophe under the attack of broadsword mines but are visibly frightened have long since ceased to regard the scent of roses as a target for their master's reward, and the closer they get to the scent of roses, the more frightened and uneasy they will become.
It may be true that a well-trained military dog, or a domestic dog that is too close to its owner, can overcome the fear of death for its owner, but it will never include the wild dogs in the small town of Argov who have never eaten enough, live a semi-wandering life, and will show their teeth to each other for a little food to wrap their stomachs!
In the end, these "hounds", as soon as they smelled the fragrance of roses, approached like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and those armed rebel soldiers who led the dogs all the way and did not know how many times higher their IQ than these wild dogs, would never have dreamed that they would be tricked by the seemingly loyal wild dogs in front of them!
Walking forward with the whole team for another three kilometers, Shi Shaoying Huo Ran turned around and pointed to them in a desperate attitude, but because he left a person to sweep the road with branches and did not leave half a footprint, he shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go back along this road!" ”
Hearing Himar's translation, someone in the team couldn't help but widen their eyes, pointed at Shi Shaoying and shouted: "Ignore him, this kid is crazy, the enemy is chasing after us, what is the difference between turning back now and taking the initiative to die?!" ”
Staring at Shi Shaoying, Himal's face showed a thoughtful look. As a person who is qualified to become the captain of these mercenaries, of course he has a lot of combat knowledge and experience, Himar clearly knows that if no miracle happened, five minutes ago, they should have been outflanked by the enemy before and after, and fell into a heavy encirclement, but now ten minutes have passed, they have not been encircled, I don't know why, the pressure from behind is getting smaller and smaller, could it be that those delayed thunderbolts arranged by Shi Shaoying really had an effect, greatly restricting the pace of the pursuers?!
The enemy is too strong and his own side is too weak, life and death hang by a thread, and the development of the battle situation is also greatly beyond the limit of what he can handle...... That's what Himar is facing!
Staring at Shi Shaoying's frank eyes, and then looking back at Sikong Bowen, who was lying on his shoulder and falling into a coma again, Ximar gritted his teeth fiercely, and shouted at Shi Shaoying: I will hand over the lives of all my brothers, as well as the lives of Sikong Bowen, to you! Pick it up, don't fall it!! ”
Shi Shaoying nodded vigorously and took the lead in striding back along the road they had originally walked. In order to confuse the enemy, when they retreated, someone was in charge of sweeping away the footprints left by the branches, and it was because of this that while walking back along the path they had walked, Himar finally noticed that on the flat sand, at intervals, a short rose incense stick lay flat on the sand grains.
When he walked through this section of the road just now, every fifty meters he walked out, Shi Shaoying threw a small piece of incense stick on the ground, and used this kind of unsightly little thing to smell too strongly, between the sand and gravel, the mountain was the king and the land was demarcated, and a piece of air castle that the hounds could not avoid as long as they smelled it!
Lying on a sandy slope, after making a simple disguise, he condescendingly watched the pursuers hurrying past from a few hundred meters away under the leadership of several hounds, and everyone in the team could clearly hear the increasingly rapid heartbeats between each other, and they all involuntarily clenched the weapons in their hands. At this fateful moment, if only one of the hounds suddenly turned his head and barked wildly at their lurking position, they would never see the sun tomorrow again.
The hounds smelled Shi Shaoying's body 100 percent, but they collectively chose to ignore it, and ran faster and faster with the owner behind them, running more and more deviantly, until they could no longer be seen.
Taking a deep breath of free air, feeling the comfort and happiness of jumping out of the encirclement, the sky is high and the birds can fly and the fish swim in the sea, Himar sincerely gave Shi Shaoying a thumbs up.
He opened his eyes today, greatly opened his eyes, if he hadn't teamed up with Shi Shaoying and witnessed this series of tactics played by Shi Shaoying with a small box of rose incense, he really didn't know that in this world, Wei Lei could still play so exciting, so dumbfounded.
However, the rose incense sticks in the small iron box in Shi Shaoying's hand have not been used up yet, so Shi Shaoying's smell thunder, or the spiritual thunder against the hounds, has not yet been played. In front of Himar, Shi Shaoying casually caught a two-inch-long scorpion that crawled past him, under Himar's stunned gaze, Shi Shaoying held down the scorpion with gentle movements, and used scotch tape to stick a small piece of rose incense onto the scorpion's body, and finally as soon as he let go of his hand, the scorpion quickly escaped.
Finding that Ximar was looking at him with a slightly sluggish expression, Shi Shaoying said in a low voice: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's do it together!" ”
Under the exemplary role of Shi Shaoying, Ximar and his party were like locusts crossing the border, trying their best to catch all the animals they could see on the road, as long as they were caught, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, first tied a piece of rose incense to them, and then let the obviously frightened little ones out, and let them run wild in the desert with joy, so as to deduce a piece of moving legends such as "the rabbit runs", "the snake is crazy", "the angry birds" and so on.
The rich fragrance of roses, which suddenly called east, west, north, and south, suddenly appeared again and again without warning, so that those hunting dogs who were frightened and had already collapsed could truly understand the breadth and profundity of the tactics of "embattled" and "ambush on all sides" in the ancient Chinese art of war.
No matter how loudly those armed rebel soldiers shouted, or even took out the dried meat and stuffed it into the mouths of the hounds at any cost, they couldn't make them quiet anymore, they wanted to break their heads, and they really couldn't understand why an ordinary bird flying overhead, no matter how you look at it, would make the hounds around them so frightened that their black hair stood upside down, and they kept barking and barking together; They didn't understand why the hounds, who had been able to move together just now, suddenly fell apart as if they had blown up their nests, and the four dogs ran in four directions, so that they didn't know who to trust before they could catch up with Shi Shaoying and his party.
So no one noticed at all that a small snake more than two feet long, twisting its slender and soft water snake waist, swam quickly from the small hillside twenty or thirty meters away from them, just like the thirteen hairpins of Jinling on the bank of the Qintan River, walking along the way, swaying bursts of gorgeous roses.
After getting rid of the pursuers behind them and finally jumping out of the encirclement, Shi Shaoying and his party set foot on the road between the small town of Argov and Mogadishu.
In this country where there is no railway, and the main transportation force is still dominated by camels, the road infrastructure is so weak that what Shi Shaoying and his feet are stepping on is not so much a road as a naturally formed dirt road that has been walked a lot by people.
As far as the eye can see, under the bleak sky, is as dry and desolate as the surface of the moon, a yellow dirt road two or three meters wide, with the undulation of the terrain, constantly extending into the distance, yellow slopes, yellow pavement, yellow horizon, all around is monotonous and boring yellow, lack of green, lack of vitality that makes people feel full of vitality, only the distant camel bells faintly heard by the wind, so that they can still be sure that this is a world that belongs to human existence. In the face of all this, Shi Shaoying had to think of the sentence "This land is closest to the blue sky, but it is the farthest from heaven".
