Always tighten the bowstring, in the state of winding, will make the bow fatigue lose elasticity, and the small tip of the bow is old, the wood has already undergone great changes, in ancient times there is a saying "if you want to shoot accurately, bake the bow drill quilt nest", this bow piece is in need of maintenance, and these years have passed, presumably no one will put it in the quilt to maintain, so the state of the bow will not always be good, and holding it for a long time will eventually make the bow scrap in advance.

So I could only get a little closer to Yingchun and aim the arrow at her neck so that the bow was in a downward state, and at the same time I could see that the dagger was engraved with a special pattern, like a lizard, but with wings, and watching Yingchun move back and forth, I could also see clearly, there were both sides of the front and back.

Yingchun looked at me carefully, and said carefully: "This is given to me by the ugly eight monsters, isn't it bad?" ”

"Hmm." I replied perfunctorily.

"That time, I was angry out of the courtyard, suddenly I felt something drill into my body, I was afraid to scream, suddenly something rushed over, knocked me down, I didn't have time to scream, I fainted, when I woke up, I was already in the abyss under the tunnel, and I saw the ugly monster there for the first time, at first I was very scared, afraid that it would hurt me, but first gave me a live fish, and then gave me a jewelry box, after opening it it was full of priceless things, but the box was already very broken, and I don't know where it got these, seeing that I was vigilant, it went down to the underground river againand then find this thing for me. Yingchun said.

"Found under the river?" I asked.

Yingchun nodded, and then said: "After that, I felt that it didn't seem to be hostile, so I made friends with it, and then I often had cramps in my stomach, and it gave me some special aquatic plants, and I ate it worked, and then my anger disappeared, and I planned to go back to find you, but I found that you were all gone, so I could only let the ugly monster be a companion with me, and rely on it to hunt and find food until you came back." ”

"Aquatic weeds? Can aquatic plants detoxify the poison of Gu insects? "I was surprised.

"There can be sharks under the water of the abyss pool, then the environment must be suitable for the mermaids to live, sharks, good at eating fish and insects, and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the pond as their balanced meat and vegetarian food, must also have the purpose of regulating their stomach, natural selection, survival of the fittest, since those aquatic plants will be selected to eat, it should be able to balance the effect of too much fish and water insects in the stomach, so it is just able to deal with the disaster of Gu insects hiding in the body." Bai Lu said with her back to me.

One is good at hiding, and the other is good at hiding the effect of insects in the body, which is really a natural enemy relationship.

After Bai Lu diagnosed Yunwen's condition, she used an earthen urn stove to stew medicine, and Yingchun stewed her own meat and bones, and learned from her sister to make some dry ingredients and other things to make the soup more fragrant, which made me greedy.

Since it is a rice made in spring, it is all soup at the bottom, and what pork, sun-dried fungus, wild vegetables, and wild mushrooms are basically a routine, catching up with the street shabu-shabu.

But since I got it, then I will eat, and maybe because of habit, unconsciously everyone gathered at the table to eat separately, talking and laughing, as if nothing had happened, but when I reacted, I hurriedly picked up the bow and arrow and aimed it at Yingchun's neck, and said to Bai Lu: "You go over to eat, turn your back to me, dare to turn your face, I will definitely stab down." ”

"I see! Brother Zhou Bo, please let go of the Spring Festival, I'll just go over and eat. Bai Lu said, tears of urgency.

I know that this is indeed a bit too much for the two of them, but I have no choice, I don't dare to let my guard down, I can't bet easily, once I relax, one day Bai Lu looks at me with those blood-red eyes intentionally or unintentionally, then Yun Wen and I will definitely have no way to live, and living is my bottom line, protecting Yun Wen to live, and it is my promise to her.

Bai Lu walked to the other place with his back to me, chewed like wax, and said, "Brother Zhou Bo, I'm actually scared too, although I understand why you did this. ”

After that, the medicine was stewed and cooked, and the rice was eaten together, and they seemed panicked, for fear that I would drive them out and continue to suffer from the cold, but I really didn't want to do that, so they were miserable, how could I feel comfortable?

"Listen to me." I said.

They immediately looked at me vigilantly, and Bai Lu, afraid that I had misunderstood, immediately turned her head again, but still wanted to listen to me.

"No matter how you plan to distribute your food, three stale fish and the remaining five pieces of pork will probably be able to eat for three to five days, but I don't plan to hunt anymore, even if you mermaids come back, I advise you not to do that, every animal has other vocations besides being eaten by us. Next, I will go to the mountains and forests to find food, you stay here during the day, help me take care of Sanfu and Yunwen, this is your responsibility, dare to go wrong, I will not forgive. I said.

As soon as the two of them heard that I had relented and allowed them to stay in the house, they nodded their heads repeatedly.

"Okay, when I go out, Song Yingchun, you go and water the fields, if you agree, I will get some seawater back, filter some fine salt, you have time to marinate the meat yourself, save some food these days, it's better than wasting food with big fish and meat, Song Bailu, you are responsible for taking care of Yunwen, she will turn over, don't let her fall out of bed, take care of it more, and get some forage for the horses to eat, take care of it." I said.

"Got it." Bai Lu and Yingchun replied together.

"Also, if the merman comes back, Song Yingchun, you can figure out what to do, and you will bear the consequences." I said.

Song Yingchun's eyes were red, he stood up and grabbed my sleeve, and said: "I know how to do it, I will teach it a lesson, it was its mess that caused us to become like this, I will drive it away, never see it again, don't treat me like this, don't treat me like this?" I'm so scared, Brother Zhou Bo, are you going back to looking good, please. ”

I shook her off and said, "It's not it that makes things like this, it's you, reflect on it." ”

After speaking, I threatened Yingchun with an arrow in one hand, and carried a backpack in the other, with a military kettle in the backpack and a golden sword at my waist.

After going out, I was still on guard, until I came to the vicinity of the tunnel, then I relaxed the tight strings, entered the tunnel, crossed the chain bridge at the end of the tunnel, arrived at the elevator, turned on the iron pestle switch, and then went up, came to the high woods near the coastline, and then followed the roadside I made myself, went to the beach, wanted to take some seawater first, find some fine sand and coarse sand, and wanted to use activated carbon to filter sea salt, make some fine salt.

I was walking forward, suddenly saw the footprints of wolves, my first reaction was to immediately find a tree to hide, the footprints are fresh, they must be nearby, I hid behind the tree, first observed for a while, heard the sound of the nearby bushes, in order to ensure my own safety, beware of them surrounding me, encirclement and attack on me, I climbed the tree first, standing high can also see far.

Just look at what they're doing around here.

When I climbed up the tree, I looked down, and the rattling sound was getting closer and closer towards me, so I quickly climbed up a branch to see what they wanted to do.

When I got to the taller and thicker branches, I looked at the situation, and I still had the nine arrows left by Yun Wen in my backpack, thinking that if I encountered a dangerous situation and shot the head wolf, there would still be a chance.

Picking up the leaves and looking down, it made my soul come out!

I saw that the wolves were holding a corpse, and the corpse had already been bitten and scarred, and it had already died, and looking at the figure, I could barely see that it was humanoid with a fishtail, with sharp claws on the palm and webbed on the palm.

Even if you look at it from such a distance, you can see that in addition to the arrow wound on its shoulder, it also has many bites, traces of fierce pecking by the beak of birds, and many wounds from jackals, dogs, and beasts.

I sighed, it offended too many creatures on weekdays, and because of the bleeding on its body, it attracted many scavengers, and in winter, food was scarce, and it was in a weak position, so it would be attacked by a group and killed alive.

"Nature is still fair." I said with regret.
