Chapter 321: Out of the Mountains and Forests

The master was overjoyed, at this time, Xiao Chujiu also came over with a knife, and the two of them worked together to carry the beast back to the camp.

Xiao Laodao looked at the wild boar and said with a smile: "It seems that we didn't save that wild man in vain." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao glanced back at everyone, and asked the master, "Brother, give you a stone, can you smash the wild boar's head in one fell swoop?" ”

The master looked at the head of the wild boar's blood hula, and shook his head, the wild boar's head was obviously hit by a large stone weighing hundreds of pounds at a long distance, even if he could lift the stone, he couldn't throw it that far, if it was at close range, the wild boar couldn't stand there stupidly and let himself smash.

At this time, everyone had been hungry for two days, and they didn't have time to study so much, so they divided the wild boar by two, skinned the wild boar, pulled out the intestines, and dealt with it. Because the wild boar is so big, it can't be eaten at once. Xiao Laodao cut out a hind leg and let the grandfather bake it on the bonfire, which was enough for a few people to eat.

After a while, the oil on the pig's hind legs on the bonfire dripped into the bonfire where the pine branches burned, mixed with the smell of the burning pine branches, wafting out bursts of refreshing meat, and the fragrance spread from the camp to the nearby mountains and forests.

At this time, there was a faint sound from not far from the camp, and everyone turned their heads to see a tall and pitch-black figure standing not far away.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing hurriedly stood up and beckoned to the figure, "Come on, come here." ”

The figure hesitated for a moment, and then, with heavy steps, approached the camp step by step, and everyone had already seen that it was the wild man from the night before.

The wild man's injuries seemed to recover quickly, his legs were no longer lame, and his spirit was much better. They made room for him by the campfire, and the wild man sat down a little shyly, and then, staring directly at the pig's leg on the campfire, felt that his eyes were about to water.

Xiao Laodao smiled and said, "It seems that this savage brother also likes to eat cooked food." ”

When the savage heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Laodao, as if he couldn't understand what Xiao Laodao was saying, Xiaoqing asked the savage, "Are you hungry?" ”

The savage nodded hurriedly, but his eyes stared at the pig's leg with a good look, and Xiaoqing said: "It's not good to kill and eat meat, you have to learn to eat mushrooms and wild vegetables in the future." ”

When the wild man heard this, he looked at Xiaoqing in amazement, and Xiao Laodao laughed, "What kind of wild vegetables to eat, come, this pork leg is given to you, you eat first!" As he spoke, Xiao Laodao grabbed the pork leg bone, stuck the pork with a dagger, and handed it to the wild man, who looked at the pig leg, showed a happy face, and swallowed his saliva.

Xiaoqing glared at Xiao Laodao lightly, but she couldn't help it, no one could compare with her, she could not eat or drink, just absorb the aura of heaven and earth, others couldn't, she still had to eat the fireworks of the world.

The savage grinned and took the pig's leg, and he was not too hot, so he went up and nibbled on a large piece, and then devoured it. Seeing this, the grandfather and several others cut off another pig's hind leg and put it on the fire again to roast it.

The savage ate a huge amount of food, and actually ate a whole pork leg, and the four of them ate another pork leg. After eating and drinking, the wild man grinned at the crowd, left the camp, and disappeared into the jungle.

After the savage left, the grandfather did not rest, Xiao Laodao greeted a few people, cut the whole pig into palm-sized slices, added firewood to the bonfire, and baked the meat slices on the fire, and several people tossed all night, and finally roasted all the meat slices into dehydrated jerky. Although the taste of jerky is a little worse than that of barbecue meat in comparison, in this way, the meat is not easy to spoil, which is easy to carry and preserve.

The next night, the wild man came again, Xiao Laodao took out the jerky, heated it on the fire a little, and after eating enough, the wild man left again.

On the third day, on the fourth day, it was all the way.

On the fifth day, the whole pig was finally eaten by the savages and the grandfather, and the grandfather still did not get out of this reckless primeval mountain forest. However, they were lucky this time, and in the evening, they hit a deer, although this deer was not as big as a wild boar, but it was enough for everyone to eat until they left the forest.

That night, the wild man came again, and Xiao Laodao said to the wild man with a smile: "Since you like to eat cooked food so much, then you just see how we do it, and after we leave, you can eat what you want, just do it." ”

Xiao Laodao asked Xiaoqing to translate his words to the savage, although Xiaoqing was not very happy, he still said it to the savage, and the savage was very happy to hear it, and nodded at Xiao Laodao.

Subsequently, Xiao Laodao and Xiao Chujiu worked together to dispose of the deer, and finally, cut off a piece of venison and roasted it on the fire.

The wild man was smarter than the master and they imagined, his eyes didn't blink, he stared at Xiao Laodao and Xiao Chujiu the whole time, and seemed to have memorized all the methods of peeling and roasting meat.

On the seventh day, everyone finally came to the edge of the forest, and stood on the high place of the mountain forest, looking into the distance, and everyone could not help but be open-minded, which was much better than in the dense forest that could not be seen a few feet.

Not far from the bottom of the mountain, there was a small village, but everyone did not hurry to leave the forest, and waited in the forest until evening, when the wild man finally came again.

By night, Xiao Laodao took the wild man to the edge of the forest, pointed to the village that was not lit up at the bottom of the mountain, and said: "See if there is no place, after we leave, you must not go anywhere, otherwise, the people there will still leave wounds on you, but you must also remember that when you see them enter the forest, you can't hurt them." ”

The savage couldn't understand Xiao Laodao's words, Xiaoqing translated it again on the side, and the savage suddenly nodded again and again.

At this time, there was not much venison, including the savages, and after several people ate the venison, they were not very full.

Seeing this, the savage wanted to leave, but Xiao Laodao stopped him, Xiao Laodao lit a torch and stuffed it into his hand, and at the same time, he also stuffed the dagger in his waist to him.

Xiao Laodao explained: "Remember, find a cave and put the fire in it, the fire can't be extinguished, and if it is extinguished, you won't be able to eat cooked food, and this knife will be given to you to peel the skin, but you can't use it to kill people, and you must be careful when lighting the fire, don't burn the forest, otherwise, you will have nowhere to hide." ”

After Xiaoqing translated for the savage, the savage seemed to understand that a few people were leaving, and he seemed a little reluctant, Xiao Laodao waved his hand at him, held a torch, and held a dagger, and then slowly left.

Early the next morning, everyone left the mountain forest and headed for the village below. At the third pole of the sun, the people came to the village.

The small village is small, with only a dozen families, and they make a living by digging herbs and hunting. Gold and silver are not very easy to use in their village, and most of them are bartered, but when the people in the village heard that the grandfather had arrived in their village through the mountains and forests, they were immediately very enthusiastic, saying that no one had come back from the depths of the mountains and forests alive, let alone through the entire mountain forest.

In exchange for providing food, the villagers asked the grandfather to tell him how he came from the other side of the mountain forest.

Xiao Laodao smiled, and among several people, he was able to speak, and while eating the food given by the villagers, his eyebrows flew and he said: What killing monster pythons, fighting fierce beasts, hunting deer and killing bears, etc...... In fact, they didn't encounter any danger at all, and all they said was what they had encountered in Shu before. The villagers listened to all the cold sweats for the grandfather.

One of the villagers asked Xiao Laodao, have you encountered a long-haired evil in the forest?

When Xiao Laodao heard this, his eyes rolled, and he immediately said, yes, we worked together to slaughter it, and there was nothing to eat at that time, so we peeled it and ate it.

When the villagers heard this, they believed it and all of them were overjoyed, saying that they would never be afraid of evil and cannibalism in the future.

When Xiao Laodao heard them say this, he asked them, have you ever seen evil eating people with your own eyes?

The villagers suddenly fell silent, and after a while, an old man said to Xiao Laodao that in his grandfather's generation, he had seen evil eating people with his own eyes, but over the years, some people had seen evil evil, but they had not seen it eat people.

Xiao Laodao nodded and said to everyone, that evil may also have passed through human nature and no longer eats people.

After eating and drinking enough in the village, the people continued on their journey, and when it was dark, they came to a town. This town is not big, and there are only one or two inns, but when the master and a few people went in and asked, they were all full.

Xiao Laodao inquired with the shopkeeper in one of the inns, and the shopkeeper said that recently, somehow, a lot of outsiders came.

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he whispered to my grandfather, "This town does not rely on mountains, water, and trade, and these outsiders are afraid that they are all here for strange treasures." ”

The master felt very strange and asked Xiao Laodao, "Where did the news of the appearance of the strange treasure come from, and why do so many people know about it?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled bitterly and said to the master: "It is said that it came from a village, and the people in the village first found that there was a glow outside the village, and it appeared at night for several days, so they searched for a treasure in the place where the glow flashed, but they found nothing, and within a few days, they accidentally leaked feng shui." The disappearance soon spread to the rivers and lakes, and I had a few friends who specialized in exploring the tomb, and they gave the news, but when I got the letter, the news had been spread for three or five days. ”

The master asked again: "Doesn't the government know about such a big matter?" ”

Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "If the government knows, what else is going on with us small people, although the news spreads quickly, it is only spread in our tomb robbery business, and outsiders don't know about it at all." ”

A few people did not stop in the town, bought some dry food in the town, left the town, and walked towards the village near the town, hoping to find a place to stay in the village.

However, when they arrived at the village, when the villagers saw that they were outsiders, they saw that they were like a plague, and their families were closed, and they were not allowed to stay overnight.

Everyone had no choice but to take advantage of the night to continue walking, after walking a few miles, a forest appeared on the side of the road, Xiao Laodao greeted everyone, don't go any further, anyway, they have been in the forest for so many days, it doesn't hurt to stay overnight, everyone got into the forest.

The next day, after leaving the forest and continuing to hurry, after walking for nearly an hour, Xiao Laodao showed a suspicious face, looking back while walking, the master saw this, and asked Xiao Laodao, "What's wrong, Brother Xiao, is something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that it feels a little strange...... Xiao Laodao said: "Last night, the town inn was full of people, and most of them were horseback, it stands to reason that they rode horses much faster than us, and they should have caught up with us a long time ago, but it's been a long time, why haven't you seen anyone coming?" ”

The grandfather said, "Will they go another way?" ”

Xiao Laodao nodded, "There is such a possibility, but we are taking the nearest road, why do they have to go far and near?" ”

The grandfather said: "Will it be the same as us before, I don't want to be discovered by others." ”

Xiao Laodao shook again, with a suspicious expression, "In my opinion, I'm afraid there is something else......

Having said that, Xiao Laodao did not let everyone stop, and continued to hurry, and in the evening, everyone rushed to the edge of the Yangtze River.

When the master took a look at it in the twilight, he felt that the Yangtze River was wider than the Yellow River, and the water was turbulent, and he couldn't forget the end at a glance. The river is also much more lively than the Yellow River, it is already the time of the lantern, the boats on the river are still frequent, and they are all large merchant ships, and there are few canoes.

Xiao Laodao said to everyone at this time that it was getting late, so he would find an inn by the river first, and then find a boat to cross the river tomorrow.
