Chapter Thirty-Eight: Bait Fishing

Jiang Sanshan led the capture of the fast people and chased them all the way down the back mountain.

At the beginning, you can also see many students of the academy on the mountain road, telling them the route of the small pot and the small walk, as the mountain rises, slowly, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the mountain road, and the mountain road is getting smaller and more desolate.

After turning a few forks in the road, half a day did not see the traces of Xiaobu hiding them, there are many people Zhuang began to complain about dissatisfaction, they rushed from the county seat, to now have been running for more than 20 miles in a row, one by one feel very tired, the mountains in front of them are endless, there may be many forks in the road, as long as the fork in the road, it is very likely to go from the north to the south, and I don't know when to go.

Now it's not early, about another hour, the sky is going to be dark, how long do you need to walk ahead, no one knows, where they are hiding in small steps, and no one knows, these catchers just carry knives, guns and sticks and hurried up the mountain, nothing is ready, not even water bladders and dry food, from the county to here, and from the bottom of the mountain up the mountain, now all of them are exhausted, morale is low, from time to time someone falls off the team, hands cover the waist and feet for pain.

Jiang Sanshan looked at his subordinates helplessly, let them wave their flags and shout, and it was okay to show their teeth and claws, if they really let them be like soldiers, charging into battle or running for a long distance, it would really be to catch ducks on the shelves.

Sanshan shook his head helplessly, and ordered everyone to rest on the spot, and then he arranged for a Minzhuang to lead the other exhausted Minzhuang down the mountain, and after arriving at the bottom of the mountain, he immediately found the local Lizheng to change a group of Minzhuang to come over, and carried all kinds of utensils for the night road, including water bladders and dry food.

Then Sanshan continued to chase after him with two catchers, and wherever he encountered a turn along the way, he agreed in advance, and marked the people behind him on the bushes or low trees.

In fact, there are not many forks in the road in the mountain, halfway up, and happened to meet a few woodcutters carrying firewood, knowing that they did not go the wrong way, and the distance from the small step has been getting closer and closer, the crowd can not help but get excited, Sanshan said to the brothers behind: "Everyone hurry up, hurry up and keep up, the little hunter is not far ahead, everyone work harder, as long as the little hunter is caught, we will successfully complete the task, and the county will definitely be rewarded at that time." ”

The two catchers quickly agreed, and Qi Qi quickened his pace.

Passing through a field of trees, turning a hill, suddenly there was a sudden opening in front of them, and the eyes could see a far range, and when they opened their eyes, on the belt-like mountain road, on the opposite mountain road about a mile away from them, there were really two children staggering.

A catcher stepped forward excitedly and said to Sanshan: "Big brother, look, there are two children on the mountain road over there, they must be the little hunter and the little guy from the academy." ”

Jiang Sanshan stared and saw that the two children were walking forward with their heads buried in their heads, as if they were not in a hurry, and often picked up a branch on the side of the road, and then used it as a sword like two soldiers, slashing each other, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, but looking at their movements, they must be laughing. Judging by the age and body fatness, it is exactly the same as what everyone at the bottom of the mountain described, these two people must be the little Orion and the little pot of the academy.

Jiang Sanshan was overjoyed, the exhaustion of his whole body seemed to disappear in an instant, full of energy, he turned to the catcher behind him and said: "Brothers, the target is ahead, everyone hurry up, and catch the grandson of the black hunter before it gets dark." ”

The other catcher groaned for a while, and whispered: "Big brother, I don't think we can catch this child now, there are only three of us, and we don't know where the black hunter is, from here we are not far from the two children, but the mountain is a dead horse running on the mountain, I estimate that when we catch up with him, it will take at least an hour, if the black hunter arrives at that time, we are in the mountains, even if we can catch the black hunter, I am afraid there will be some casualties; In addition, if we really catch this little Orion, maybe that Black Orion sees that there is nothing to do, it is impossible to rescue this child, and will ignore his grandson to take the opportunity to escape quietly, we catch this child, and we will startle the snake, if the Black Orion gets into the mountains, with the three of us, we will definitely not be able to complete the encirclement task, so, I suggest that we do not catch them first, it is better to follow quietly, to see if this little Orion is meeting with the Black Orion, we can only find the old guy through the Little Orion, Let the old hunter show up, and when our men and horses are gathered, we can take the opportunity to rush up and capture it in one fell swoop, do you think it's okay, my lord? ”

Jiang Sanshan felt that it made a lot of sense when he heard it, so he patted the catcher on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's still your kid who has a lot of eyes, yes, that's how it should be, it doesn't matter whether you catch the little hunter or not, our goal is the old guy, a few brothers, let's follow quietly, don't let the little guy in front find out, everyone be cautious, act at the opportunity, let's stage a trick of praying mantis catching cicadas today." ”

"Big brother is wise," said with a flattering smile.

***********************************************

Xiao Nabe and Xiao Buzang rested for a while on the big stone by the river, drank a little water, and ate a little dry food, then stood up, patted the dirt on their buttocks, and continued on their way.

Xiao Guozi looked up at the sky, looked at the mountains again, and asked Xiao Buzang: "Buzang, we have been walking for most of the day from the morning to now, the sun is about to set, how long will it take to get to your house, can we arrive before dark?" ”

Xiao Buzang snorted and said: "Brother Guozi, there must be no problem, we have walked more than half of the way, you look at the mountain in front, as long as we turn over, it will not be far away, along the mountain in front, and then turn to the right, there is a bamboo forest, through the bamboo forest, you can see my house." Brother Guozi, you come to my house this time, have a good time for a few days, there are a lot of fun things in the mountains, we can hunt, we can pick herbs, we can catch fish, I will take you to play when the time comes, okay? ”

Xiao Guozi smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, this cute little brother probably doesn't know his own situation, and thinks that as long as he returns home, he will be safe, and he can continue to live happily before, where does he know, I'm afraid that the future life will be spent in wandering and hiding, I don't know if I can find Grandpa Wu when I go back this time, I don't know if Grandpa Wu will be caught by the government, even if they can find Grandpa Wu, they can only abandon their hometown, and leave far away, where is the future? I really don't know if the two brothers will have a chance to meet in the future.

After thinking about it for a while, the little pot said to Buzang: "Little brother, this time grandpa did a big thing outside, this thing, the government doesn't like it very much, so he sent someone to arrest grandpa, and when we find grandpa, you will follow grandpa and quickly hide far away to a place where no one knows about you, and after a while, you will come back again, come to me again, and at that time, we will have a good time together, okay?" ”

"Well, Brother Guozi, at that time, I will ask my grandfather to make you a bow, and the two of us will go hunting in the mountains together, fight a big tiger, and then a big wild boar, well, and fight a lot of pheasants, those with that kind of beautiful tails, I will give them to Sister Xiuxiu, Sister Xiuxiu likes pheasant tails the most." Xiao Buzo said with a grin.

"You gave me a bow, and Sister Xiuxiu gave me a pheasant tail, why don't you have anything to give to the fat brother? The fat brother is so good to you, you see that he gave us all his schoolbags, which contain so many delicious foods. The little pot pretended to be angry.

"Fat brother, yes, these prey we hunt are all his, you see the tiger, the wild boar has picked up the skin, and the meat in it is all for him to eat, and the pheasant, Sister Xiuxiu only needs the tail of the chicken, and the chicken is all fat brother's, I am afraid that after all these things are eaten by him, he will gain a lot of weight again, and his eyes may become smaller at that time, and he walks like this......" Xiao Buzang imitated the way Cao Xiwen walked, exaggeratedly spread his hands, and swayed like a big duck, and then the brothers laughed.

Walking a day's mountain road, for the two children, is really a difficult thing, at the beginning, they still walked relatively fast, and then walked more and more slowly, can not walk a few steps to sit down to rest and rest, especially when you need to climb the mountain, almost walk a hundred and ten steps to feel no strength at all.

The two of them were about to give up for a while, but in such a place where there was no village in front of the village, no store in the back, it was impossible to go back, only to go forward, in the direction of home, at noon, the two of them lay down under the shade of the tree and slept for a while, only to feel that the physical strength was back, and the afternoon was more energetic than the morning, so while walking, while talking, it was also happy.

The closer he got to home, the more excited Xiao Wuzang became, and along the way he happily told Xiao Guozi many stories about the mountains, as well as hunting with his grandfather, he would often point to a place, and introduce to Xiao Guozi that he had caught a hare with his grandfather, and that his grandfather had found a beautiful fox, and where he had caught pheasants and hedgehogs, as if this mountain was all his paradise and where he played.

Xiao Guozi looked at him enviously, he used to be so happy in Shannan Village, almost crazy everywhere, every inch of land seemed to be walked by, and every place left unforgettable memories, and now, he was far away from his hometown, I don't know what my hometown has become now, I don't know if I can go back, see if the ginkgo trees in my hometown are still so thick and lush, and see if the small river in my hometown is still a river of lotus.

Thinking about it, the little pot fell into a daze, even if the hometown is still there, so what?

The family members are all dead, and the ladies who wash by the river every morning can no longer be seen, even Mr. Wang, Master Wang, and Steward Qian, who they have always been afraid to see, are now so nostalgic, they are all dead, and they can no longer appear in front of themselves, only in memory.

Xiao Guozi was very scared, because as time passed, he was horrified to find that those things that he thought were engraved in his memory were gradually blurring, and many details were lost, and he didn't know if he would forget all the past in a few days.

Now the little Buzang is just like his former self, full of hope and happiness for the future, if he knows the life he is about to face, if he loses his grandfather, or can only hide in a place where he does not see the light of day, can Buzang still be so happy?

The little pot didn't dare to think about it, just buried his head and hurried, Buzang was too young to see the changes in other people's thoughts, and still jumped in front of them, home was in front, their hearts were gradually filled with hope, and the footsteps of going home were becoming more and more solid.

But none of them noticed that not far behind them, three people were following them with ghosts, their cold eyes like a few hungry wolves looking at two young lambs.

When the night was about to fall, the little pot finally came to the door with Buzang, looking from a distance, the door of the house was hidden, and the yard was in a mess, not like it was inhabited, the little pot's heart sank, Grandpa Wu really didn't come back, where was he? If you can't find Grandpa Wu, what will you do in the future?

With a worried mood, he pushed open the door of the house, sure enough, there was no one at home, there was silence all around, Xiao Buzang pouted, very disappointed, he thought that his grandfather would be waiting for him at home, but he found that he had miscalculated, he was very unhappy, but Buzang was not worried at all, he believed that the powerful grandfather would definitely come back to him, no one could catch him, as long as he wanted to run, he would definitely be able to run away, because, grandpa is the best hunter in this mountain.

"Little brother, let's cook something to eat first, maybe grandpa walks behind and hasn't come back yet, we'll wait for him at home, okay?" The small pot is opposite the Tibetan road.

"Okay, grandpa will definitely come back, I know, we will wait here, we will definitely wait for grandpa." Xiao Buzang replied with a smile that as long as he returned to his home, he felt very down-to-earth and full of confidence in his grandfather's return.
