Barren Encounters Chapter 61: Training and Growth (1)
"Did you hear anything?" Qianyuki was also vigilant.
The middle-aged man pointed to his ear and motioned for Qianruxue to listen carefully.
Qianyuki closed her eyes and pricked up her ears to listen, and after a while she heard some rustling sounds, much like the sound of someone walking against the low grass.
Qian Yuxue opened her eyes and nodded at the man in front of her, indicating that she heard the voice.
"How many?" The middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
Qian Yuxue didn't notice this question at all, so when asked about it, she could only shake her head helplessly.
The man only said three words, "Listen carefully,"
Qianqixue had no choice but to close her eyes and listen carefully. This time she listened for a long time before she could vaguely distinguish the different footsteps, and hesitantly replied, "It should be two people,"
The middle-aged man squinted and nodded with a smile, "Very good, how far are they from us?" ”
Qianyuki opened her mouth wide to express her surprise. She felt like she couldn't tell this at all.
The middle-aged man ignored Qianqixue's surprise at all, pointed to her ear, and then to the other side, signaling her to hurry up and listen carefully.
Qianyuxue was helpless, so she could only close her eyes again and listen carefully. But this time, no matter how carefully she listened, she couldn't tell where the two people were, so she could only shake her head at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man squinted and smiled and whispered, "You always have an approximate number in mind,"
Qian Ruxue thought for a while, "I think there should be about three hundred meters left,"
The middle-aged man still looked at Qian Qixue with a smile and said, "From now on, you count silently in your heart until they come to us, and then according to their movement speed, you can basically estimate how far away they are from you,"
Qian Qixue nodded, and just wanted to raise her wrist to look at her watch, but was pressed down by that person, "You can't have a watch every time, you have to learn to count your heart,"
"Okay," Qian Qixue put down her hand, closed her eyes and began to count silently in her heart.
When he heard those footsteps close to him, Qian Qixue opened his eyes and looked up at the middle-aged man, "I counted to forty,"
"It's too fast," the middle-aged man said with a smile, "you're a little nervous, it should be twenty-two,"
Qian Ruxue raised her wrist to look at her watch, and sure enough, the hands were only halfway gone.
"It's okay to practice more in the future, according to their walking speed, the first time we hear their footsteps should be about two hundred meters away from us, just within the range of the trap you set," the middle-aged man pointed to the woods on his side, "It's just that your trap doesn't seem to be working, the person has already approached fifty meters, and your trap still doesn't work,"
Qianyuxue was very depressed, she felt that her trap had been set in place, why were those people just not fooled? Where is your own omission? Qian Qixue looked up at Qian who was dressed as a middle-aged man with questioning eyes, but looking at the expression of that person's own thoughts, Qian Qixue knew that this person didn't mean to tell him at all.
"So, I'm going to go to the mountains every day from tomorrow to catch wild beasts, right? Aren't you afraid that I'll be eaten? Qian Ruxue held her mouth and stared at the man in front of her with grievances.
"With your current skills, there is absolutely no problem with self-preservation, and," the middle-aged man stared at Qianruxue with deep eyes, and looked at it quietly for two seconds before continuing, "Moreover, I may not be able to stay by your side all the time, after you learn these skills, no matter where you are, I can rest assured,"
Qian Ruxue looked at this person's eyes and felt a trace of sadness and worry in his dark eyes. There was a slight tingling in Qianqixue's heart, and the little grievance just now dissipated instantly. She knew very well what this person was worried about and sad, but Qian Ruxue felt that as long as they worked together, they would definitely be able to fight for their happiness.
Qian Ruxue smiled at that person, trying to adjust the atmosphere to be more relaxed and pleasant, "Don't worry, I will keep in mind the skills you taught me, and say that I am a 'teachable child', which means that I have great potential,"
The middle-aged man's eyes became very gentle, and he reached out and gently rubbed it on the top of Qianxixue's head, and in the next second, the middle-aged man's hand was fixed on the top of Qianxixue's head, and he turned his head sideways to look at the woods on one side, and a human figure could already be faintly seen in the big woods.
The middle-aged man withdrew his hand, looked down at Qian Yixue, and changed his tone back to the playful tone just now, "Since you are a 'teachable child', then it will be up to you to deal with those two people, how to deal with it is up to you to decide, whether to kill or leave it to you to decide, I am just a useless middle-aged man, I am only watching,"
"Uh... Qianyuxue only felt that her head was full of black lines. This person shrank aside when it was critical, but Qian Ruxue also knew that only in this way could he make great progress and keep up with someone's footsteps in the future.
Qian Qixue thought about braking quietly, not moving, and first seeing what these two people were going to do. Since they can successfully break through their own traps, it means that they are not ordinary people.
"Let's split up and find some branches to make a fire, and we'll get sick if we lie down and sleep here at night," Qian Qixue deliberately spoke loudly to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Qian Yixue in surprise and pointed at himself, "I'm just a useless middle-aged man, are you sure you want to leave me here alone?" ”
"Sure, sure, don't worry, I won't let you get hurt, useless middle-aged man," Qian Yuxue patted the man on the shoulder and turned away, looking like he was really picking up a branch.
The middle-aged man saw that Qianxixue left without looking back, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's really enough to use me as bait," as he spoke, the middle-aged man also turned around and walked towards the woods on the other side, looking very reluctant to see the branches.
Qian Qixue didn't go far, after she walked about fifty meters, she immediately turned around and quickly circled back from the other side, following the middle-aged man from a distance, and also observing the two killers who were approaching the middle-aged man.
The two men did not attack directly, but stayed on the side to observe, because they heard Qian Qixue say that they were going to pick up some branches and come back to make a fire, so they were ready to wait for the rabbit to work.
After a while, the middle-aged man slowly walked back with a large bundle of branches, and after he put down the branches, he sat down on the ground, looking tired and tired.
