Chapter 32: Following
Zhao Fan looked at the dozen people in front of him, even Xu Jia, who had always been calm, looked curious and shocked, and a touch of pride suddenly surged in his heart.
The method of killing the giant python just now, Zhao Fan saw it by chance in later generations, it is said that a special forces of the Mei country experienced being swallowed by a snake, and then countered the thing, and because of this, this method was compiled into the special forces textbook.
This method naturally no one knew about during the Warring States Period, so after experiencing what happened just now, in the eyes of Xu Ying and others, they can almost be called shocking to Zhao Fan.
For their eyes, Zhao Fan had to shrug his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's just a fluke, I just remember that my father once told me that in addition to seven inches, snakes are the most vulnerable in the neck, so I thought of that method just now." ”
Hearing this, the surprise in everyone's eyes was a little lighter, Zhao Fan's adoptive father was a famous hunter in Bairen City, and he had followed the former to hunt since he was a child, knowing this method, it didn't seem so strange.
Zhao Ya'er didn't doubt him, after all, most of the time, her father took Zhao Fan to hunt and taught more things than her, so it was not impossible.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he was finally looking at a normal person, Zhao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, the situation in front of him was completely solved, as for the method he used today, whether it would be included in history in advance, this is not something he can care about.
After experiencing the surprise just now, the group slowly returned to normal, Xu Ying and the others walked up the mountain bag and circled around the dead mountain Jiao, with a thick fear in their eyes. Although they had seen this guy before, they had only caught a glimpse of it and had not observed it closely.
Now, when the huge body of the giant python eight meters long was exposed in front of everyone's eyes like this naked~naked~, they finally knew why this big guy was able to swallow a person.
Even if the giant python was dead, everyone, including Zhao Fan, still felt a little frightened when they saw such a long creature. The hunters of Xuzhuang naturally had a deep resentment towards this guy, they suppressed the fear in their hearts, and several people kicked the body of the giant python fiercely, kicking while scolding Zhao Fan in the local language that Zhao Fan couldn't understand.
Xu Ying and Xu Xiong were the heads of this group of people, and their brothers saw that a few people were almost venting, so they commanded everyone, carried the body of Shanjiao, and led Zhao Fan and others to walk down from the West Mountain and towards Xuzhuang.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When a group of people carried the green scale python into Xuzhuang, all the villagers were instantly sensational, although everyone had expectations for the hunters who went to catch the mountain Jiao, but no one expected that everyone could really kill the mountain Jiao, and it was a big victory, and there were no casualties among the Chengren people.
After a short period of surprise, the villagers cheered, this mountain Jiao, is simply a nightmare in their village, since the discovery of a mountain Jiao eating people, the people in the village sometimes do not even dare to go to the field to do farm work, at night every family closed the door early to sleep, is really suffering.
Now that the mountain Jiao has been removed, everyone can live with peace of mind, the happiness in the hearts of each villager is naturally needless to say, at first the villagers thought that the mountain Jiao was hunted by the hunters with concerted efforts, and then listened to Xu Yingyi, only to know that these two zhang long mountain Jiao was actually killed by Zhao Fan alone, at the moment, everyone's eyes were full of disbelief.
Zhao Fan looked at everyone in horror, but he couldn't stand it, and after he said the previous words again with a wry smile, the surprise in the hearts of those villagers faded slightly. Zhao Fan saw that everyone was looking at him, and finally seemed to be looking at a normal person again, so he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead slightly.
During the Warring States Period, people had two meals a day, and they would not eat in the morning, and only aristocratic families would have three meals a meal, but the third meal was often eaten at night, which was equivalent to the supper in later generations.
After a busy morning, and he didn't eat breakfast, Zhao Fan's stomach was already a little hungry, and the Xu Ying brothers were still outside at the moment discussing with those villagers how to deal with the mountain Jiao, Zhao Fan was not interested in this, he took advantage of the vacancy and returned to Xu Ying's house with Li Bingbing and others.
It took two or three hours to go to Xishan, and by now, it was noon, Zhao Fan and Li Mu came to the front hall, while Li Bingbing and Zhao Yaer were busy eating at noon with the old woman in the backyard.
The five of them sat on the ground, on a few cases, there were some seasonal fresh fruits and snacks and other things, they were busy all morning, and they slept very late last night, and now they are really a little tired, Zhao Fan is eating, his eyes are slightly lowered, and he closes his eyes to recuperate.
Li Mu and the others slept very early last night, and now that he saw that the mountain Jiao had been removed, he was naturally in a hurry to rush to Cloud City, and immediately said, "Brother-in-law, when will we leave for Cloud City?" ”
Zhao Fan's eyes were slightly closed, and an imperceptible light suddenly crossed the depths of his eyes, and he smiled: "Tomorrow, what's the matter, aren't you used to living here?" ”
Li Mu nodded, and while eating the fresh fruit, he said: "It's okay, just get to Cloud City early, I can rest assured, I've been delayed for a long time, I'm afraid that there will be more right and wrong on the road." ”
At this time, Xu Jia, who was silent on the side, suddenly smiled and said: "I don't know if it will be more than one life, I only know that this time Brother Zhao Fan, there should be a big surprise, well, by the way, maybe it's not a surprise, I guess Zhao Fan should have expected it, haha." ”
Xu Jia is not a person who practices martial arts, but because he plays very well with Li Mu, Zhang Zhi and others, his surname is not as weak as that of literati, but has a kind of boldness.
Hearing this, Zhao Fan smiled indifferently, but he was silent, although Li Mu looked rough, but he was a calm and wise person, Xu Jia only mentioned it slightly, he just felt a clue, only Zhang Zhi and Lin Hu were confused, and they didn't know what the surprise Xu Jia mentioned.
Xu Jia didn't explain, still eating a few fresh fruits on the case, looking out of the house thoughtfully.
Everyone chatted in the front hall, and soon after, Zhao Fan saw Xu Ying and Xu Xiong and other villagers from Xuzhuang walking in from outside the courtyard, his face showed a touch of joy, but it was fleeting, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Xu Ying, they are here, let's go out and have a look first." ”
After speaking, he got up from the bamboo mat, put on his boots, and walked out of the front hall with Li Mu and others.
In the front yard, Xu Ying, Xu Xiong and others saw Zhao Fan coming out, and hurriedly saluted, saying, "I discussed things with the villagers just now, and I neglected Mr., sir, please don't care." ”
Zhao Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, we live here, there is a lot of chatter, Brother Xu Ying doesn't mind, we are already very grateful, where is Brother Xu Ying greeting everywhere." ”
As he spoke, a pair of sharp eyes also secretly looked at the people behind Xu Ying, these are all villagers in Xuzhuang, about forty or fifty people, and they are all young adults, probably in their twenties.
Seeing Zhao Fan so polite, Xu Ying felt even more embarrassed, he didn't dare to say a few words, and then introduced to Zhao Fan: "Sir, these dozens of people are all villagers from my Xuzhuang, they just finished their military service two years ago and returned to their hometown. Now, either they haven't married a wife yet, or their father and mother have passed away, and they are the only ones left in the family, they heard that Mr. is going to Cloud City to join the army, and after some discussion, they decided that Mr. Yu will go to Cloud City together to create a career, sir, you see? ”
Zhao Fan forcibly endured the joy in his heart and said with a smile: "All the strong men have this intention, Fan is naturally extremely happy, but in this way, won't the population of Xuzhuang be even less?" ”
Hearing him say this, one person suddenly walked out of the crowd, this person is about twenty years old, tall, he said: "If it weren't for Mr. to remove the mountain Jiao, I Xuzhuang I don't know how many people would die in the belly of that evil animal, Mr. has a great kindness to my Xuzhuang, and the people in our village are very grateful to Mr., and we are all alone now, it is better to follow Mr. and break into the world together." ”
This man's words immediately led the people behind him, and forty or fifty men raised their fists one after another, shouting loudly: "Follow Mr., break into the world together, follow Mr., break into the world together......"
The voice was impassioned, lingering in the courtyard for a long time.
