There was silence in the woods, and there was silence in the cabins. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sect Master, what should we do?" Xu Chu asked stunned.
"Master?" Xiahou Bo also cast an inquiring look.
"What else can I do, I think our outfit may make people mistake us as soldiers!" Yuan Yaodao.
"Ahh I knew that I would have taken off this armor, and along the way, I was so stuffy that I couldn't sweat! Xu Chu depressedly knocked on the Jinggang chain mail on his body.
Xiahou Bo rolled his eyes, turned his head, didn't look at Xu Chu, and said disdainfully: "Elder Xu, you are chain mail!" Please, the chain mail is still not breathable, so my leather armor and the sect leader's Mingguang armor are not like a steamer? ”
"Huh! Hehe!! Xu Chu smiled embarrassedly and touched his head, "But I'm the fattest, and I can't help it!" ”
"Then you were still yelling cold?" Xiahou Bodao.
Yuan Yao smiled slightly, walked over, patted the shoulders of the two, the two of them often pretended to be mouthful along the way, but they were not lonely, after sailing farther and farther, the weather was getting colder and colder, Yuan Yao had taken a whole bottle of physical strength potion, and naturally he was not afraid of the cold, but Xu Chu and Xiahou Bo began to tremble.
In desperation, Yuan Yao had to take out the last bottle of potion in his collection and give another drop to the two of them, and Xu Chu asked for an extra drop because of his large size, so Xiahou Bo often used this to pretend to be a fat man with Xu Chu and Xu Chu.
Fortunately, although the two of them sometimes pretended to be angry, they did not get angry because of this, and sometimes they hugged each other's shoulders and sighed about life together.
"That's it! When we successfully complete God's mission, we will have more unimaginable benefits, and now the main thing is to integrate into the lives of the locals, mingle with the locals, and develop our sentient beings! Yuan Yao patted the two of them on the shoulder and encouraged.
"Yes!! Master!! The eyes of the two were immediately filled with endless fighting spirit.
"Elder Xiahou, you can check around the Baizhang Fangyuan to see if there are any others, Elder Xu, you can follow me into the wooden house to check!" Yuan Yao commanded.
Xiahou Bo nodded, turned around and began to scout around.
Yuan Yao drew his sword, raised his shield, and walked in the direction of the wooden house through the creaking snow.
When he walked to the entrance of the wooden house, Yuan Yao found that the wooden house was really short, the distance between the highest part of the roof and the ground was only one zhang, just enough to accommodate a person not to walk in it, and there was a high threshold at the entrance, which should be used to block the snow and snow outside the door.
Through the half-open wooden door, there is a wooden staircase that slopes down diagonally, and the space below looks much larger, and the lowest point is also a foot and a half high (about 3 meters), and no one is found in the room for the time being.
"It turned out to be a half-ground, half-cave-like wooden house, no wonder it looks low from the outside!" Yuan Yao immediately understood the reason.
These locals who live here can't have physical strength potions like Yuan Yao, and if they want to resist the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero all year round, the house with this structure can indeed be windproof and cold-proof.
After Yuan Yao understood, he immediately ordered Xu Chu to check on the periphery, if there was a place to store food, according to Yuan Yao's guess, the periphery of the upper ground, the temperature was low, it should be a place to store tools and food, and the sled pulled by the dog just now did not seem to have rushed out of the underground half.
Xu Chu complied, while Yuan Yao pushed open the wooden door and went down the stairs.
After the bottom layer, I obviously felt the air around me warm, and the ice and snow on my body began to melt slowly.
In the middle of the room, there was a charcoal fire burning slowly!
Around the charcoal fire are the skins of some animals, which are supposed to be the places where the local residents who have just been here have been sitting.
Yuan Yao checked in the house again, and around the hall, there were several small caves with beds, and there was also a cave that was connected to the ground after it was opened, which should be where the dog and sled were before.
At this time, Xu Chu also came in with a few pieces of meat, and said happily: "Sect Master, my subordinates have found these, this is venison, which can be used as our dinner!" ”
"Elder Xu, have you seen Elder Xiahou? Tell him to come back and eat meat, the locals are scared away, they should be back soon to check on the movement, let's rest for a while, and then set a few traps around, if we can catch one of them! Yuan Yao nodded.
Yuan Yao has now given up the way of communicating directly with the locals, what he wants most now is to master the other party's language as soon as possible, and then use the local language to tell them the meaning of their visit, and capturing a local alive first is the most direct and convenient way.
"Sect Master, my subordinates just saw Elder Xiahou walking around in the forest on the left to check the terrain, and he should be back soon! Let's start with the barbecue, these venisons must be delicious! Xu Chu approached the fire tanhuo, raised the venison in his hand and said.
"Well, that's all there is to it!" Yuan Yao nodded, took off his shoes, took off his armor again, and sat on the fur by the charcoal fire.
Xiahou Bo soon came to the house, and the smell of venison soon wafted from the cabin......
……
Located on the border between the Pingyin Peninsula and the mainland of Yinzhou, it is still at the same latitude as the Pingyin Islands, but the temperatures are warmer than those on the islands, which may be the reason why these locals live here and do not live on the islands.
The venison found by Yuan Yao and the three of them, whether it is here or in the Pingyin Islands, is a relatively common animal, these deer usually become one of the favorite foods of snow wolves, and may also be one of the favorite foods of the locals, the original owner of the wooden house fled in a panic, and even had no time to take away a piece of venison, Yuan Yao is very sure that the original owner of the wooden house will definitely return again.
In several places where the wooden house must pass, several traps have already been laid, but these traps are not deep pits dug, but lassoes and tripropes, as long as the tripropes are touched, they are bound by the lassoes and pulled into the wooden house.
The reason for not digging deep pits is that in such a cold state, the soil under the snow has already frozen extremely hard, and it is difficult to complete it in a short time with the tools left by these locals.
In the middle of the night
Yuan Yao, who was resting in the wooden house, was awakened by a noise, sat up suddenly, and put up his shield.
Xu Chu was sleeping soundly, but after hearing the sound, he immediately flicked, jumped up, and blocked Yuan Yao's body.
At this moment, there was a chaotic noise, and an exclamation was heard, coming towards the wooden house.
Xiahou Bo, who was on duty at night, didn't have time to explain too much, his body shook, and he quickly captured a local who had fallen into a trap and escorted him in front of Yuan Yao.
"Don't be alarmed, your subordinates have already captured an enemy! Another enemy has fled! Xiahou Bo knelt on the ground and said.
Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Xu Chu to light the oil lamp and monitor the movement outside by the doors and windows.
When the oil lamp was lit, the face of the captured enemy became clear, one of the men who had shown himself during the day, and the fur hat on his head had disappeared, probably falling from the lasso when he was pulled in the snow, and some of the snow was stained with his hair.
