Chapter 114: Hurry
"Don't you already have medicinal herbs, what do you need these bamboo baskets for?"
Fengyun looked at the two huge back baskets, and there was a trace of curiosity in his heart, but he didn't ask.
What the witch and Mulan Zhi had to carry, it was their freedom, and he couldn't control it.
Besides, he cared too much about them going to save the people in the tribe who were infected with the epidemic, as long as they were willing to go, what they did, as long as it wasn't too much.
Mulanzhi put the two back baskets on the ground, opened another door, and took out two bags of things from them, and put them in the two back baskets.
Although the package is not small, it only accounts for about one-fifth of the volume of the back basket.
As for what was in the package, Fengyun couldn't guess.
They are so tightly wrapped in leather that you can't tell what's inside.
Mulanzhi didn't stop there, and walked into the room for the third time.
This time she took out a purple bamboo, the thickness of the mouth of the teacup, about a zhang long, and a thick and soft layer of leather was delicately wrapped in the middle.
Fengyun looked at the bamboo in Mulanzhi's hand, and his eyes showed a look of thought.
His curiosity was provoked, but he still didn't ask.
Mulanzhi didn't mean to explain, and put one basket on the witch's back, and the other on her own back.
The witch walked in the front, followed by Magnolia Zhi carrying the bamboo, and Fengyun followed behind Mulanzhi.
The group of three walked towards the outside of the tribe.
By the time they came outside the tribe, Fengyun found that there were already many people waiting for them, at least more than a hundred.
They were dressed almost identically to the three of them, all wearing wide capes with hoods, covering their bodies tightly, and they could not distinguish between men, women, and children.
They and the witch seemed to have a tacit understanding for a long time, and when they saw the three of them coming over, they immediately moved.
In groups of three, they walked towards the purple bamboo forest, but they all chose different directions.
The witch didn't stop, and walked straight to the bamboo forest in front of her with Mulanzhi and Fengyun.
Fengyun didn't speak, but there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at the witch.
She was really thoughtful and cautious.
With such a person covering them, it would be even more difficult for someone to catch their whereabouts.
If he hadn't been with witches and Magnozhi, it would have been almost impossible for him to find them out of so many people who were dressed almost identically.
Walking out of the purple bamboo forest, the witch kept walking and strode forward, as if she already had a line.
Fengyun didn't object, looked around, and followed.
When the three of them walked out of the purple bamboo forest, the others also walked out one after another, scattering in different directions.
Shortly after leaving the Purple Bamboo Forest, the witch's direction of travel began to change, and it would change every other distance.
Fengyun didn't say anything.
The witch has always lived in Razor, and should know more about its terrain than he does, and she must have a reason for doing so.
As time passed, Fengyun found that the place where the witch walked became more and more remote and desolate.
Comparing it with the Razor topographic map in his head, Fengyun seemed to have guessed the witch's intentions.
She's trying to avoid the tribes that live in Razor, and she's trying her best to avoid encounters with people from other tribes.
Razor is very rich in resources, whether it is hunting or picking, it is easy to harvest, so some remote and desolate places, people generally do not go.
Minutes ticked by.
Perhaps it was the witch's chosen route that worked, and until it was almost dark, the three of them had no direct contact with the others.
The most recent time was when several women were seen picking wild fruits from a distance, but they quickly avoided them, and Fengyun even suspected that the other party had not noticed their existence at all.
When he saw them, they were so engrossed in their work that they were not distracted and less likely to be distracted by their surroundings.
In addition, the distance between them is very far, Fengyun can see them, it is his eyesight that is good, they may not have such good eyesight as his.
The sun began to sink towards the horizon, and soon, only a thin line of orange/color remained, and twilight was approaching.
At this time, the group of three walked into a dense low forest, but it was enough to completely cover their figures.
When they reached a small clearing in the middle of the woods, the witch who had been leading the way stopped.
"Cloud, I'm a little tired. Shall we take a break?"
The witch turned her head to Fengyun and asked for his opinion.
"Okay. I'm also a little tired. ”
"Haha......"
The witch laughed, "You're accommodating me. Laneige told me everything about you. You were able to carry her back from Crescent Lake in one go, and now that you have only walked such a little way, how can you be tired. ”
Fengyun smiled and did not speak.
The witch put the basket off her back, and Magnoige did the same.
Mulanozhi took out the package from the basket she was carrying, opened it, and an enticing fragrance immediately penetrated Fengyun's nostrils.
He couldn't help but look over and found that the package was full of jerky, dark red, faintly transparent, very beautiful.
Magnozhi turned the basket upside down and placed the open package at the bottom of it, as if it had been turned into a simple dining table.
"Cloud, you taste. Not bad. These jerky are special to me, and they are made with the finest brute meat. ”
The witch picked up a piece and handed it to Fengyun.
Fengyun was not polite, took it, and put it in his mouth.
"Hmmm......"
Fengyun's eyes widened.
The witch really didn't lie to him, and the jerky was indeed very tasty.
When you bite into it, the texture is completely different from ordinary jerky.
Most of the ordinary jerky is very hard, very dry, very chai, and has a very poor taste, but the jerky handed to him by the witch is completely different, with moderate hardness, and slightly elastic, not dry at all, and very moist.
It's not like ordinary jerky, if you chew it for a long time, it will become a filament of stuffed teeth, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, and there is not even a little dregs.
The most important thing is that after swallowing his stomach, a stream of heat immediately spreads from his stomach to all parts of his body, and the place where he passes is very warm and comfortable.
At the same time, he could faintly feel a force growing in his body.
"Wu, the jerky you made is so delicious, I really want to eat it every day. ”
Fengyun issued a heartfelt admiration.
He was a good eater, but he didn't think he could make such delicious jerky.
"Eat every day? The brute beasts that make the jerky are fed precious medicinal herbs, which are already the output of the entire tribe for a month. ”
Mulanzhi listened to Fengyun's words and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"These jerky are so precious. ”
Fengyun has finally solved a new doubt.
The jerky was originally made from the meat of brute beasts that had been fed medicinal herbs, so it's no wonder that the flavor is so unique and the effect is so magical.
The witch and Magnolia ate two or three pieces by themselves and stopped.
The storm also stopped.
Although he really wanted to continue eating, the jerky was not his after all, and he had eaten a lot more than they combined, and he was a little embarrassed to eat it again.
What's more, he had already seen that these jerky should be the rations for the three of them along the way, and after eating them, they would be hungry later.
The witch was not polite, let him eat more, and motioned for Mulan Zhi to wrap up the jerky and put it back in the back basket.
"Yun, I know you really want to return to the Flame Snake Tribe as soon as possible, but you can already see that Laneige and I are not fast and not good at long journeys, so I have a suggestion, I don't know if you will accept it?"
"Please. ”
"I guess you must be wondering why we brought these two empty baskets, right?"
The witch didn't say what she thought directly, instead, asked a question.
"I'm really curious. Please also let me know. ”
"Quite simply, they are for me and Laneige. ”
"For you and Miss Laneige? I don't understand. ”
Fengyun shook his head, still not understanding what the witch meant.
The witch stopped talking, stooped down to take the package out of the basket, nodded to Magnolia, jumped into the basket, sat cross-legged at the bottom of the basket, and held the package in her arms.
Magnolia did the same.
"Cloud, you should understand by now, right?"
The witch looked up at Fengyun with a smile on her face.
"Understood. ”
If Fengyun didn't know what the witch meant at this time, he would really be a fool.
She prepared two baskets to carry her and Mulanozhi, so that he could carry them forward quickly.
As for the bamboo, which is wrapped in the middle of the skin, it is simply a flat pole.
"Wu, isn't this a little too offensive?"
"Tell me, is human life important, or is face important?"
The witch's expression became serious.
"I see. ”
Fengyun's expression also became serious, he didn't say anything more, picked up the bamboo pole, sorted out the strap of the basket, fastened it at both ends of the pole, picked up the basket containing two people, and ran.
Wu and Mulan Zhi's ears immediately sounded the sound of whirring wind, and when they looked out from the gap in the back basket, everything they saw became blurred.
They knew that there was certainly a reason why the twilight had become thicker, but the bigger reason was that the speed of the storm was too fast.
In the process of rushing forward, Fengyun was more deeply affected by the powerful effect of the special jerky that the witch gave him.
Streams of heat continued to flow from his stomach to his whole body, providing him with a steady stream of power, not only completely replenishing his consumption, but also the remnants, which continued to accumulate in his body.
The more you run, the hotter your body gets, but it's not the heat generated by your body after strenuous exercise, it's energy, increasing energy.
Fengyun had an urge to look up to the sky and roar, but he couldn't help it, turning this urge into a driving force to move forward.
