Chapter 1369: I have suffered a lot
The tongue that appeared in front of Meng Shu's eyes was much bigger than the basin.
Growing up in the jungle since he was a child, Meng Shu had never seen such a huge python.
The python he had seen before was only the thickness of a human calf, but the one that spiraled down from the tree was thicker than his thigh.
Such a huge python, once it gets entangled with him, even if he uses all his strength, it is impossible to break free.
Knowing in his heart that he couldn't compete with this python, Meng Shu clutched the branch in his hand tightly, trembling slightly, and staring at the head of the snake that was approaching him with a pair of eyes.
He didn't attack immediately, but held his breath and stared at the python.
The circling python was getting closer and closer to him, and the scarlet letter stretched and shrunk, and its two eyes as round as beans stared at him.
Looking at each other with the big snake, Meng Shu clenched the stick in his hand tightly, and the muscles in his body trembled more and more.
The muscles were trembling, but Meng Shu's heart became calmer and calmer.
Clutching the branch in his hand, his eyes slowly shifted from the serpent's eyes to its torso.
Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches is not only effective for small snakes, but also for large snakes with huge sizes.
Of course, the seven inches of the big snake are different from the small snake, and according to the change of body size, its fatal point also changes.
As the big snake swam, Meng Shu's gaze gradually shifted to the place closest to the big snake's vital point.
The big snake moving downwards obviously didn't notice that Meng Shu had noticed its vital point, and was still slowly approaching Meng Shu.
Gradually, the big snake was only more than a foot away from Meng Shu, and Meng Shu could clearly feel the coldness that came out of it.
Suddenly, the big snake opened its mouth and rushed towards Meng Shu as fast as lightning.
Meng Huo, who had already been prepared, rolled on the spot at the moment when the big snake jumped up, jumped out of the hole between the big trees, and stabbed the branch he had already selected towards the big snake he had already selected.
The icy rain knocked on the canopy, making a "rustling" sound and dripping into the jungle.
jumped out of the gap between the two big trees, and the cold raindrops fell on his body and face, making Meng Shu, who was already feeling a deep chill, feel a little colder.
The stick in his hand slammed into the snake's body.
The big snake that had been pierced through the skin twisted its body, and its thick tail slammed towards Meng Shu.
The cold tail whipped Meng Huo's cheek, and Meng Huo was hit by a huge force, and flew out, and his body hit a big tree hard.
As he tumbled and fell to the ground, he struggled to glance at the big snake that was writhing and writhing with its tail, and his eyes went black and he passed out.
When Meng woke up and turned around, the rain had stopped.
The ground was full of fallen leaves, and there was not much standing water in the jungle, only some of the leaves had some water stains on them.
Lying on the ground, Meng Shu endured the sharp pain in his head and looked up at it.
He stabbed it right at that moment, and the big snake was stabbed in the vital point, and it was already curled up and died.
However, after this commotion, he was also drenched in the rain.
In the jungle, it is not advisable to make a fire, and even if you want to make a fire, you have to find a place with relatively few fallen leaves.
As if all the strength in his body had been drained, Meng Shu struggled several times, but failed to stand up successfully.
Once as the king of the Southern Barbarians, where did he suffer all this!
Thinking of being captured by the Han army, having to flee for hundreds of miles, and burrowing into the primeval jungle alone, a strong hatred arose in his heart.
The Han people are also too unkind.
The barbarians went to loot, and the Han people only had to wait to be robbed, so why did they have to fight with the barbarians?
With this thought in his heart, Meng Huo's hatred for the Han people swelled to the extreme for the first time in his life.
Meng Shu, who woke up, lay on the ground and rested for half an hour, and his body barely recovered.
Trying to get up, he walked over to the dead snake, found a branch from the ground, and plunged the relatively sharp end of the branch into the snake's torso.
Peeling off the snake's skin, he didn't think about making a fire to cook the big snake's meat, peeled off a piece of snake meat, and filled it in his mouth.
The meat of the big snake, if ordinary people eat it, they will definitely feel fishy, but Meng Shu, who is already hungry, chews it, but it feels sweet and tasteful.
For Meng Huo, the jungle of more than 100 miles is not very difficult to traverse.
At that time, it was difficult for the Han army to pass through, and the most important thing was not that the soldiers could not walk through the gap between the trees, but that the elephants of the Han army, because of the huge size of the war elephants, it was impossible to pass through the narrow gaps, so they had to push down the big trees all the way.
Meng Shu is only one person, and the road in the jungle is difficult to walk, but after all, he has adapted to this environment since he was a child, and it is much more convenient than the Han army to travel through.
After eating a lot of snake meat, Meng Shu raised his arm, wiped the blood stains on his mouth, and used the stick to pick off a lot of meat from the snake's body before standing up and walking towards the Nanban realm.
Walking through more than 100 miles of jungle, Meng Huo, who has experience in jungle life, only took three days.
Three days later, when he reached the edge of the jungle, the excitement in his heart was palpable.
Finally returned to this land he was familiar with, and it wouldn't be long before he could meet Mrs. Zhurong and countless Nanban warriors.
Thinking of this, Meng Shu, who drilled out of the forest, was much faster under his feet than before.
The Han army and the barbarians have been confronting each other on the banks of the river for a long time.
At first, the three or four hundred barbarian warriors who defected to the Han army only received food from the Han army every day, but after two days, they offered to go to the mountains and forests to find food for the army.
The barbarians were natural hunters, and when they entered the mountains and forests, not only did they never return empty-handed, but on several occasions, they even sent back men and asked the Han soldiers to help them move their prey back to the camp.
When these barbarians first attached themselves to the Han army, the Han army regarded them as a burden.
But in the near future, as the barbarians showed their hunting talents, the Han soldiers' opinion of them had changed a lot.
In the Han army camp, Zhuge Jun sat not far from the tent, roasting the mountain leopards hunted by the barbarians from the mountains and forests with Xu Chu, Dian Wei and several partial generals.
Mountain leopard meat, grilled and fragrant, Zhuge Jun, who had never eaten it before, just ate it once, and became addicted.
It's a pity that the mountain leopard is a beast, even if the barbarian warriors enter the forest, they don't dare to provoke it, and they can only meet someone who is relatively old and no longer good at it, so they will start hunting.
The mountain leopard meat roasted by Zhuge Jun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others was still hunted by the barbarian warriors from the mountains and forests two days ago.
Smelling the barbecue that had already smelled fragrant, Zhuge Jun said to Xu Chu and the others: "Your Majesty is not here, if Your Majesty is here, I'm afraid it will be better!" ”
"It's a pity!" Pouting, Dian Wei put the barbecue in front of him, and when he saw that it was not completely cooked, he put it on the bonfire and rolled it up, while rolling, he said: "Mountain leopard meat, if you bring it to Luoyang, it will already stink when you think about it, and your majesty will not have this blessing!" ”
The generals, when they heard Zhuge Jun and Dian Wei discussing Liu Wei, they all nodded yes.
The reason why Zhuge Jun, Dian Wei and others dared to talk about Liu Wei behind their backs was because Liu Wei had made a will, and anyone who talked about him behind his back, or even insulted him, did not need to be punished.
Liu Wei knows a truth that people's emotions need to be vented, not only civilians, but even the military also need to vent their emotions.
The Han army had complete obedience to him, and the soldiers of the Han army also admired him, the emperor who led the army to the south and the north in his early years, and did not guard Luoyang until he became the king of Qin.
Let the soldiers treat him as an after-dinner conversation, not only will he have a deeper spiritual communication with the soldiers, but also let the soldiers feel that he, the emperor, is not far from the soldiers who are fighting abroad.
"Report!" Everyone was eating barbecue, and a Han soldier rushed in from outside the barracks, and when he got close to the bonfire, the soldier bowed down with his fists and said to Zhuge Jun: "General Qiyu, I waited for a person to be found in the rear of the army, looking at the situation, it looks like Meng Shu." Can you capture it? ”
Hearing that the scout had discovered Meng Huo, Zhuge Jun was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered as if talking to himself: "Meng Huo is in Chengdu, and Chengdu's supervision of him must be very strict, why did he suddenly come here?" ”
Muttering in his mouth, Zhuge Jun raised his head to look at the soldier and asked him, "Is there a detailed investigation?" Is it really Meng Yu? ”
When he asked this, the soldier who reported the news hesitated for a moment and said: "I just saw it from a distance, there is no general order, I dare not wait for it!" ”
"Investigate clearly, but Meng Huo!" After a deep sigh, Zhuge Jun said to the soldier: "If it is Meng Huo, don't do it, come and return to this general quickly!" ”
"General!" The soldier answered, turned around and ran away, Xu Chu asked Zhuge Jun: "If Meng is captured, why don't you capture it immediately?" ”
Turning his head to look at Xu Chu, Zhuge Jun said: "Chengdu is heavily guarded, and Meng Shu is just Meng, how can he escape?" Even if he escaped, how could he escape under the pursuit of the army? If Meng Shu really came here, there is only one way to say, and that is what the prime minister deliberately did! ”
Listening to Zhuge Jun's words, including Xu Chu, the generals of the Han army around the bonfire all frowned, as if they were in deep thought.
After about a stick of incense, the soldiers who had been ordered by Zhuge Jun to leave the barracks turned back, hugged their fists and said to Zhuge Jun: "General Qiyu, after our verification, the one who found it is Meng Shu!" It's just that he is unkempt, and his situation is very wolf, almost impossible to distinguish! ”
Knowing that Meng Huo was unkempt, Zhuge Jun had a smile on his face and said to the generals: "Meng Huo came back all the way, but he suffered a lot!" ”
After talking to the generals, he said to the soldier: "Don't capture Meng Shu, when he reaches the river, chase him from behind and scare him!" ”
