The two quickly lit a fire.

Like frightened young birds, they huddle around the stone pile at the entrance of the temple to comfort each other.

Cao Jun pinched the iron gun in his hand, touched the wine gourd on his waist again, and quickly calmed down.

The Orion leaned aside, still a little apprehensive.

If it weren't for Cao Jun waking him up, maybe he would be like the disappeared catcher, whether he would be alive or dead at this moment, it is still unknown.

Taking advantage of the gap to add dry firewood to the fire, Orion quietly leaned in the direction of Cao Jun again, and felt a sense of security in his heart.

For a while, I felt that the thoughts in my head were a little absurd.

"I'm a dignified seven-foot man, why would I rely so much on another man?"

The hunter secretly glanced at Cao Jun, and quickly threw out the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

Cao Jun groaned for a while, and suddenly asked him, "Do you know if there is a person named Yan Gong in Qinghe County?" ”

"Yan Gong?"

Orion read it a few times, and suddenly slapped his thigh, and said in an obvious tone of goodwill: "Master, are you asking about the old teachings in the county school?" I remember his students calling him Yan Gong? ”

Cao Jun just asked casually, how do you know that there is really someone.

The expression did not come to the nervousness.

He pursed his lips and asked with concern: "Oh, it turned out to be a teacher, is he alive or dead now, where is he born?" ”

The Orion scratched the back of his head suddenly, and his tone became a little ambiguous.

"I'm just a hunter, where do I know the scholars in the county, it's just that there are many young sons in Liu's mansion who go to school in the county school, and I occasionally hear them mention, it is said that Yan Gong is now more than seventy years old, but he has rarely heard his name in the past two years, and he should have died."

"Deceased?"

The threads in Cao Jun's mind were messed up, as if they were faintly strung together by a transparent needle and thread.

"If the old man who reminded him in the dream was Yan Gong, the instructor in the county school, wouldn't he have been saved by a ghost?"

But why did the other party save him?

Cao Jun patted the back of his head again, and always felt that there were some key points that he still couldn't figure out.

Also, what is the four-legged animal that looks like a cat and is not a cat when you wake up?

Where did the crowd outside the temple go?

Could it be related to the disappearance of Orion before?

He looked at the hunter next to him again, and continued to ask, "You went into the mountains to hunt before, can you tell me the details?" ”

When Orion saw Cao Jun asking about his missing companion, his expression immediately became lonely.

"On that day, we made an appointment to go into the mountain together, as usual, set up some traps, just waiting for the prey to take the bait, there are no large beasts in the back mountain, but foxes and weasels are very numerous, if you hunt boars and hares, it is good, even if it is a fox, a fur can be sold for a few dollars, but if it is a weasel......"

When Cao Jun saw him mention the weasel, his heart didn't move, and he suddenly remembered the pair of bright eyes he saw in the moonlight when he just woke up.

The four-legged animal was the size of a bobcat.

Could it be a weasel?

Orion said: "If you hunt a weasel, you can only scream bad luck, this weasel is not big, and has no meat, and there is a stench all over the body, but he likes to steal the bait in our trap, which is the most difficult." ”

"We can't sell it, and sometimes we don't have much dry food with us, so we kill the weasel, wash it, and roast it over the fire, just enough to solve the meal."

Cao Jun suddenly seemed to understand something, and asked in a whim, "Have you ever eaten weasel meat?" ”

At the mention of weasel meat, Orion seemed to think of something disgusting, and muttered casually to the fire.

"They say that weasels have a lot of lean meat, and roasting them over a fire and sprinkling them with salt is the most satisfying thing, but I ate it once when I was a child, and that meat ...... It was sour, but I didn't eat it that day, and after everyone ate the weasel meat, somehow, they fell asleep quickly, and they were ...... like today."

Cao Jun listened, and the vigilance in his heart suddenly rose.

After a while, the tide-like sleepiness hit the two of them again.

Cao Jun was shocked in his heart, and in a panic, he had to recite the introductory tips of the Taishang Qi Refining Chapter over and over again.

It's also strange that after reciting the heart recipe twice, my mind instantly became clear.

This time, I didn't dare to fall asleep casually.

He had already made up his mind that even if he had his eyes open, he would wait until dawn.

This mountain behind seems to be calm, but in fact it is full of dangers.

Only after dawn can we find the missing catcher, and then we will advance or retreat, and come up with an idea together.

Poof!

As soon as Cao Jun's thoughts arose, the hunter next to Leng Buding said that he would sleep as soon as he slept it, tilted his head to the side, and the person fell straight to the ground, and soon there was a snoring sound.

Cao Jun was defenseless before, and he accidentally fell into the trap, but this time Cao Jun was a master of art and bold, and he had already been on guard.

He was now determined to see what kind of monster was doing it.

Cao Jun clenched the iron gun in his hand tightly, and also imitated the appearance of Orion sleeping on the side, his upper body was weak, and he leaned on the stone and closed his eyes.

Cao Jun's eyes seemed to be closed, but in fact, he opened a slit, and his eyelashes jumped from time to time, nervously observing all the movements around him.

After a quarter of an hour, the fire, which had no one to add dry wood, gradually weakened and was about to be extinguished.

A mountain breeze blew all around.

Around the ruined temple, which was originally silent, there was a sudden sound of rustling.

A few pairs of bright little eyes, one after the other, emerged from behind the gravel beach.

One after another, they appeared, if there were four or five.

The leader one was exceptionally fat, the size of a wild cat.

It climbed the first stone by itself, landed on the ground with its lower limbs, its upper limbs standing in the air like a human, its bright eyes looking around, and finally landed on the fire that was about to be extinguished and Cao Jun.

Cao Jun's eyes narrowed, but he watched the other party's movements squarely.

This four-legged animal, which looks like a cat but not a cat, is the weasel that Orion mentioned before.

A weasel of this size, Cao Jun had never seen it in later generations.

I only heard that this thing is the most evil, in some areas in the north, there are people who build Wong Tai Sin Temple, it is said that there are requests to respond, but also to gather wealth.

It doesn't matter if it's a demon or a fairy.

As long as it is not good for him, it will be killed.

Cao Jun made up his mind in a blink of an eye, it seemed that he was pretending to sleep, but in fact, his whole body was tense, just waiting for the other party to come up.

The leading weasel looked at it for a while, but found nothing unusual.

groping around, he slowly jumped off the rocks.

It was alert, sniffing as it went, slowly circling around the fire, and after a few turns like this, it finally came to the fire.

Then he cocked his hind legs and snorted, but he sprinkled a soak of urine on the fire.

The urine splashed on the fire, and a cloud of white smoke rose from it.

Cao Jun felt strange when he looked at the white smoke, and immediately held his breath and closed his mouth and nose.

After the white smoke cleared, the Orion, who was originally snoring like thunder, instantly became quiet.

Could it be a cure for snoring?

Cao Jun's mind was open at this time, and he really felt a little funny in his heart.

At the same time, he kept silently saying in his heart, "Closer, closer...... Grandpa, please look at the gun! ”

The weasel seemed to hear Cao Jun's inner call, and gradually came to the two of them.

However, when its gaze fell on the iron spear in Cao Jun's hand, there was obviously a hint of hesitation, and in the end, this hesitation ghost made the god prevent it from continuing to approach.

Cao Jun's grip on the iron spear tightened.

His right hand trembled slightly, and he faintly felt the urge to stab out uncontrollably.

At this time, the weasel had already entered the attack range of Cao Jun's iron spear.

Coincidentally, it was on the other side of his body.

If he makes a move at this time, because of the angle, Cao Jun is not sure that he will be stabbed.

The weasel hesitated for a moment, but abandoned Cao Jun and gradually climbed up to the sleeping hunter.

It lay its upper body on Orion's chest, lifted its upper body, bared its fangs on the side of its mouth, and stared blankly at Orion's close throat.

Looking from Cao Jun's perspective at this time, he happened to see a side face of the weasel.

Cao Jun's heart was shocked.

What a weird smile!

It was as if the small traders in the bazaar, whose originally bright eyes were full of greed and philistines at the moment, suddenly changed the style of painting, greed and philistines disappeared, and in the blink of an eye they were replaced by a wave of violence.

It's like a butcher before killing a pig, looking at the pig body on the board that is no longer struggling.

Cao Jun even saw a hint of mockery and pity in its complicated gaze.

Which is this weasel?

It is clear that it has become a refinement.

Cao Jun suddenly stopped waiting, and directly broke out, "Rats, look at the gun!" ”

The iron spear in Cao Jun's hand, like a sharp arrow, appeared in front of the weasel in a blink of an eye.

The other party's eyes, which were originally full of grasp, suddenly appeared a trace of panic.

It only had time to squeak at Cao Jun, as if begging for mercy.
