Chapter 17: An explosion
"Li Zheng, Li Zheng?" A thin shout rang out outside the door.
Li Zheng put down the book in his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead.
"Li Zheng?"
"It's coming, it's coming." He lifted the hem of his clothes and stepped out of the threshold and walked into the courtyard, "Sister Huan'er." ”
"Why is your door locked?" Lin Huan'er pushed the wooden door and asked.
Listening to the innocent tone on the other side of the door, Li Zheng really didn't know what to say. He directly changed the topic, "I've made more than two taels of silver with you, and you haven't saved enough money?" ”
"Almost," Lin Huan'er said over there, "I'll go up the mountain one last time today, and be prepared to make some more money." If you hadn't let me chase the big worm the day before yesterday, I would have saved enough money. I asked Meng Dahe, a big worm counts at least forty taels of silver for its fur. ”
Li Zheng held his forehead with his hand, and began to think about the big worm again, and he doubted that the big worm would sneeze several times a day.
"Uncle Li won't let me go out today." Li Zheng shouted through the door, "Another day." ”
"You climb the wall," Lin Huan'er shouted behind the door, "Tomorrow Grandma and Grandpa Li will finish harvesting the green plums, and I will start pickling, and we will not be able to go up the mountain again in the future." ”
Without waiting for Li Zheng to speak, Lin Huan'er had already thrown down a rope ladder from the side of the wall, "You climb, I'll drag you here." ”
Li Zheng: ......
He touched the material of the rope ladder, not straw rope, but a material he had never seen before, with a green color in the basket, which looked delicate and beautiful. He guessed that this was what Lin Huan'er took out of the space again, and sighed, "Then I'll go back and change my body for a short fight." ”
……
In the past few days, following Lin Huan'er to hunt, Li Zheng has already mastered the techniques taught by Lin Huan'er.
When he arrived at the back mountain, Li Zheng first sprinkled a handful of fried rice in the open space, and ambushed him in the grass with a small bow and arrow specially made by Li Yuan. When the pheasants came to eat the rice, he opened his bow and shot arrows.
After catching the pheasant, he cut the pheasant's neck, carried the pheasant a few steps, and threw it in the clearing.
Their current position is a little deeper than the North Mountain, where there are more large beasts, and they have not seen many people, these days they throw a pheasant or a rabbit, and each time they can lure some beasts.
As for Kitayama...... Ever since Lin Huan'er had hunted wild boars over there, they hadn't seen any other beasts. I don't know if they were all scared away by Lin Huan'er.
Sure enough, not long after making the arrangement, I saw two red little animals sassing through the grass.
"Fox!" Lin Huan'er on the tree covered her mouth excitedly, and her big eyes did not have the love of a normal little girl when she saw a plush animal, but an expression of seeing money, "I asked Meng Dahe, a good fox skin is fifteen taels of silver!" She said to Li Zheng in an angry voice.
Li Zheng was originally observing Lin Huan'er's expression helplessly, and when he saw her turn her head to look at herself, she calmly looked away, "Meng Dahe will tell you everything." ”
"I've got to change my gun." Lin Huan'er didn't reply to his words, stared at the prey in front of him, and muttered to himself.
"Why do you have so many guns?" In the past few days with Lin Huan'er, he has long been accustomed to Lin Huan'er's various strange words.
"Because this is my ...... before" Lin Huan'er suddenly paused, if this was a necessary self-defense tool wherever she used to go, would Li Zheng be afraid of her?
During this time, she and Li Zheng have some kind of tacit understanding, if she wants to say something, she will say more, if she doesn't want to say it, as long as she stops, Li Zheng will not ask.
Sure enough, Li Zheng didn't ask, but turned his head and observed the fox intently.
Lin Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief, raised her gun to her prey, and when they were concentrating on eating pheasants, she quickly fired.
Thanks to her post-apocalyptic life, her marksmanship is very accurate - after all, most of the people who are not accurate in marksmanship are eaten by zombies. One of the foxes was shot in the abdomen and fell to the ground, the other fox was frightened and ran out in a panic, Lin Huan'er pulled the trigger again, and shot the fox in its forward path, and the moment the fox hesitated after a pause, the third bullet entered its head.
"This skin will definitely be good." Lin Huan'er clapped her hands and jumped off the tree, picked up the fox and pheasant and threw them into the space, she stepped to pick up the second fox, and just grabbed the fox.
"Boom!"
A dull sound exploded on the side of the foothills, and there was a rumbling vibration under the soles of the feet.
It was almost a reflex, and at the moment when the sound came, Lin Huan'er quickly covered her ears with her hands and fell to the ground.
"Sister Huan'er?" Li Zheng stood in place, looking at Lin Huan'er with a puzzled expression, the sound was not even as sharp as the sound she had when she first hit a wild boar, so that he didn't judge the danger. But for the first time, he saw a panicked and overwhelmed expression on Lin Huan'er's face.
Lin Huan'er raised her head to look in the direction of the shock, and it took a long time to get up and pat the leaves and dust on her clothes.
She took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into her mouth, taking a deep breath before slowly stopping her trembling lips, "It's okay." ”
She slowed down, her nose sniffing in the air, "There's a smell of sulfur." ”
Li Zheng tried to smell the air after following her example, and after smelling it for a long time, he nodded, "It's like the smell of firecrackers during the New Year." ”
"Huan'er? Sister Huan'er? ”
Lin Huan'er had long since stopped listening to him, and quickly ran in the direction of the blasting.
Li Zheng hurriedly chased after him, "Huan'er? You said listen to me and don't run around in the mountains. ”
Lin Huan'er ignored the little boy who was following behind her, and ran between the mountains and rocks with her lower legs.
She was almost sure that someone was igniting ** just now, she was not at ease, she had to take a look, was ** invented by this world, or was it brought by her world?
As long as she gets to the site of the explosion and sees the scope of the explosion, it is easy to tell.
She was afraid that in case the other party also crossed over, it didn't matter if the other party didn't understand herself, she must understand him.
"Huan'er!" Li Zheng stomped his feet and could only follow behind Lin Huan'er.
The site of the blasting was on the eastern hill parallel to here, and Lin Huan'er walked through the woods, and after walking for a while, he soon came to a relatively flat winding mountain road.
The road was about a meter wide, and the weeds on it had been leveled, and it seemed that many people had walked through it. Occasionally, deep pitfalls can be seen in the weeds on the roadside.
"How can there be a road here?" Li Zheng said strangely, "There are still traces of horses' hooves." ”
"Horseshoe?" In ancient times, the only way to run a horse was the official road, but ...... In this wilderness mountain? Lin Huan'er hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should continue to move forward.
Just when she hesitated, there was a whistle from a horse at the end of the road, and then, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves came one after another, and before the two of them could react, there were five military masters in red clothes riding tall horses, surrounding Lin Huan'er and Li Zheng.
"Two children?" The man at the front frowned slightly.
