Chapter 72: Tiger Infested
Soon, one carrying a bow and arrows and a torch, and the other carrying a basket and a cane, they met with several other hunters in front of the courtyard gate.
Several hunters were surprised when they saw that Lin Yanniang also brought a man.
"This、This is the man who picked up in the mountains that day?" An afterlife blurted out.
As soon as the words came out, everyone was embarrassed, and Lin Yanniang also blushed.
"In Xiayun San, go up the mountain with Yan Niang today." Yun Jingning let go of his crutches, hugged his fists and saluted everyone, and greeted him.
"Ahem, Erniu in Xialin." The posterior who spoke embarrassedly returned the salute and introduced himself.
Others also hurriedly reported their homes.
They are all simple mountain people, there are not so many vanity, that day Lin Yanniang saved a man and went home, but they walked all the way from the mountains.
Therefore, now when I see the man standing in front of me alive again, I am also happy, and after greeting him, I chatted enthusiastically.
Most of them ask Yun San where you came from, why you were injured and unconscious in the mountains, and how well you were injured.
In fact, these things have already spread in the village, and when they ask again at this time, in addition to sincere care, they have nothing to say, just chatting.
There were people along the way, and gradually eighteen Orions gathered.
Lin Yanniang walked behind silently, watching the people in front of her chatting lively, especially the later life, but she was very helpless.
I think that man is too powerful, how can anyone have something to say? This hasn't even left the village, but it's even mingling with everyone.
Although I was dissatisfied, I admired it in my heart.
Not long after entering the forest, the atmosphere gradually cooled down, and the voice of speech was gone.
Yun Jingning immediately noticed everyone's vigilance and uneasiness, and couldn't help but wonder.
Is it any wonder that every time they go up the mountain, they go hunting in such a state?
He turned his head to look at Lin Yanniang, who was left behind, but saw that the little girl was taking off the longbow and putting it on her arm, striding forward with a torch.
He raised his eyebrows, then stopped, and waited for Lin Yanniang to come up and was about to speak, but heard Lin Yanniang speak first.
"You walk behind, if the situation is not right, run back, find a big tree and climb it." Lin Yanniang said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Yun Jingning hurriedly asked in a low voice.
Hunting was familiar to him, and this was not normal.
"Over there in the Boar Ridge, there are tigers, we are not sure if the tigers have come to Sungai Ridge, we are just here to explore the way." Lin Yanniang didn't hide it.
It's just that it's no different from hiding it now.
Yun Jingning almost laughed angrily.
"If there really is a tiger, how can you run like this, you don't even have a big knife or a spear."
"Don't tremble, just run first when you encounter a situation." Lin Yanniang glanced at him, didn't want to say more, and took a few big strides to the front of the team.
There were still a few people in the team who also used bows and arrows, but they carried an extra iron fork or hunting net, and they all followed behind Lin Yanniang at this time.
Lin Yanniang doesn't have many arrows, and she doesn't need too many under normal circumstances, but if she really encounters a big scene, she urgently needs more arrows, and at this time, everyone will give her their arrows.
At this time, they followed behind Lin Yanniang, in addition to cooperating with her, it was also convenient to support the arrows.
Seeing that they had also walked out of the pinzi formation, Yun Jingning hooked his lips, and suddenly stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the last descendant.
"Give me your bow and arrows, and you go to the back of the line."
"No way!" Housheng immediately refused, and looked at Yun Jingning with a straight face, "You are on crutches up the mountain, it would be good to be able to keep up with the team, don't be reckless!" ”
It turned out that everyone had discovered that the alien man's leg injury had not fully healed, but he had just gone up the mountain to help Lin Yanniang hunt.
Lin Yanniang turned her head and scolded when she heard the voice: "Don't make trouble, stay behind." ”
The latter also hurriedly waved his hand to drive people away.
Yun Jingning glanced at Lin Yanniang with deep eyes, but she didn't expect this girl to have a very high status in the team.
Next to Lin Yanniang is Lin Lao Liu.
Yun Jingning knew that this Sixth Uncle Lin was the one who helped sell hunting and send money every time, and he was also the commander of the team.
"Take a hundred steps further and rest." Lin Lao Liu turned around and gave the order.
They were all carrying torches, and before dawn, they did not dare to go too fast or too far.
If they hadn't been so vigilant before, they had rushed to the periphery of Wild Boar Ridge the day before yesterday, and they hurried away with torches in the morning.
Today, they can only determine whether there are any traces of tigers in Sungai Ridge, whether it is safe here, whether they can catch prey, and secondary.
Yun Jingning listened to the muttering of a few people who were already familiar with each other, and then he understood what was going on, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder the girl agreed to let him go up the mountain today, it turned out that she didn't plan to go far today, she didn't plan to go deep into the mountains to find prey.
After a hundred steps, they did not go to the depths of Sungai Ridge.
Yun Jingning identified the direction and found that this place was not far from the place where the girl went back to fishing, the stream was nearby, and the open space where she practiced boxing was a little ahead.
But instead of going to the clearing to rest, the hunters scattered behind the trees and extinguished their torches.
Yun Jingning didn't have a torch in his hand, so he felt that he was instantly plunged into darkness, and he was suddenly embarrassed when he stood between the trees.
After closing his eyes, he quickly adjusted to the darkness of the forest, after all, there was still a glimmer of stars and moon in the sky that fell into the forest through the branches and leaves.
The forest is faintly illuminated.
He immediately took a few steps forward, looking for the girl's figure, but saw that the girl and the others were slowly moving forward.
Behind them, two men with bows and arrows slowly followed, in the direction of both sides.
So he also followed forward, but was stopped by Lin Laoliu.
"They're going to find their way."
"Why is it so early when we are here to explore the path today? Isn't it good to wait until dawn to go up the mountain? ”
Yun Jingning immediately asked, it was not a quick march, nor an ambush, nor a sneak attack, why did you go up the mountain in the dark?
"Of course, pathfinding is the main task today, but if the neighborhood is safe, we still want to hunt something back, we are hunters, we live by hunting, if there is no prey, won't we go back empty-handed?"
Lin Lao Liu didn't blame him for being troublesome, and explained the reason in a low voice, but with two purposes.
Yun Jingning was silent.
The exploration is for their own arrangement, and they dare not return empty-handed, but for the sake of livelihood, so they can only come up in the dark and go inside a little bit.
Lin Yanniang and they climbed up the tree, they carried the sachets of smoked insects, ants, snakes and rats, climbed the tree and looked around and listened.
After a while, he came down from the tree and continued on his way.
Although they were exploring the way forward to check if the neighborhood was safe, they still didn't get too far away, but only slowly moved forward within a certain distance.
Yun Jingning slowly followed the team, and he didn't agree with it in his heart.
The mountains and forests are so big, where can I find tigers? Moving forward like this, how can you dodge if the tiger suddenly jumps out from the side?
was muttering in his heart, if he wanted to remind them, he saw Lin Yanniang and they suddenly separated.
