Chapter 32: The Way Home
At dawn, the darkest time of the day, Liu Xiu got up quietly, no one was alarmed, and quietly left Linbian Village with his own things.
He came plainly, and when he went, he was silent, like every living creature in the long river of time, but he was just a passer-by, and after a short stay, he always wanted to return to his own life.
Although it was only a few days, it was different from when he came, Liu Xiu was very curious about the world at that time, and now after getting a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of this world, he prefers the feeling of living in the deep mountains, quiet and natural, close to nature, it is so pleasant.
The things he took away were more than a dozen rolls of various cloths, knives, axes, hoes and other tools, as well as seeds of various crops, the heaviest of which was 500 catties of pig iron and a set of iron-striking tools, which added up to nearly 700 catties, plus almost 300 catties of rice, and all the things added up to more than 1,000 catties!
In order to take away these things, Liu Xiu used a tree trunk with a diameter of about 20 centimeters to make a burden to take them away.
More than a thousand pounds of things were carried on his shoulders, Liu Xiu didn't feel strained, and now he didn't know where the limit of his strength was!
Leaving the village, standing on top of a small hill, looking back, the whole village was shrouded in pitch black night, the chickens did not bark, the dogs did not bark, and all the villagers were still asleep at this time.
"The return date of this mountain road is uncertain, if you have time to bother again, please take care ......"
Muttering in his heart, Liu Xiu resolutely turned around and left with his burden.
Although the burden on his shoulders is nothing to Liu Xiu, after all, the volume is there, so he can't move around the forest as quickly as he came, so he can only walk step by step.
Fortunately, Liu Xiu's physical strength is very good, and his speed is fast, although he is not as fast as when he came out of the mountain, he can rush to the cliff of life and death at sunset.
Originally, according to his physical strength, Liu Xiu could take more things away, after all, anything in the outside world was very useful to him, but he had to consider the load-bearing capacity of the bamboo raft in the river on the cliff of life and death.
Bring more things and capsize......
By the time the fish belly appeared white on the horizon, Liu Xiu was already dozens of miles away from Linbian Village in the mountains and forests, and he used to start practicing nameless self-cultivation exercises at this time every day, and today was no exception, he stopped to do the exercises that would occur every day.
Every time he practiced the self-cultivation exercises, his physique could be improved, but the ensuing hunger was still the same, but fortunately, Lausanne's mother prepared a lot of dry food for him last night, which avoided Liu Xiu's difficulty of finding food again.
After a little trimming like this, he continued to embark on the journey home with the rising sun.
In such a hurry, he finally came to the cliff of life and death again at sunset, and there were two small accidents on the way, one was a wild boar of nearly five hundred catties charged at him, and he was easily hammered to death and thrown in a conspicuous place, hoping that the villagers who entered the mountain could pick up a bargain.
Another time was when he accidentally stepped on a place where he stood, after all, he was carrying such a heavy thing on his shoulders, fortunately he didn't fall, but the things were scattered, and he had to repack his burden and delay a while.
"When I went out, I took the black leopard skin, the animal didn't dare to approach, this time there was no black leopard skin, I only met a wild boar, I have to say lucky, of course, this is also related to the environment on this side ......of the cliff of life and death, if it is on the other side, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
Sitting at the resting place under the cliff of life and death, Liu Xiu summed up the encounter along the way.
It was not suitable to rush when it was dark, so he had to rest in place for a night, there was no leopard skin to deter animals at night, for the sake of safety, Liu Xiu took out a piece of cloth and made a hammock at a height of about 20 meters from the ground, and slept in the air to avoid animal harassment at night.
On the positive side, Liu Xiu is not too afraid of ordinary beasts, but he is afraid of being attacked at night.
There was nothing to say all night, and when it was dawn, Liu Xiu practiced self-cultivation skills, ate and cleaned himself, and then went up and down four times before resisting everything to the top of the cliff of life and death.
Although he can't resist it once, but the cliff is steep, and it is inconvenient to climb with all the things, so he can only divide it into parts, and with his agility, he is not worried about falling, but if the vines can't bear the weight, it will be a trouble to find things if they fall down.
Standing on the cliff of life and death again, Liu Xiu, who had keen senses, obviously felt that the atmosphere around him was very different, depressed and gloomy, as if there were countless pairs of vicious eyes against him all the time.
Either there is a cliff of life and death, where you live and die at the same time.
Glancing at the outside of the mountain, Liu Xiu rearranged his burden and headed towards the river where the bamboo raft was parked, even if it was against the current next, Liu Xiu was sure to return to the bamboo building tomorrow afternoon.
The place in the bamboo building has a special meaning for Liu Xiu, and when he goes back this time, he actually feels like a wanderer returning home like an arrow.
In this way, he only walked less than a kilometer, Liu Xiu suddenly felt his heart tighten, and a layer of goosebumps instantly appeared behind him.
Without thinking about it, he immediately threw down the burden on his shoulders and rushed forward, stepping out, and the ground was stepped out of a large pit by him, and the person had already appeared twenty or thirty meters away.
Bang~!
There was a heavy muffled thud behind him.
Turning around, Liu Xiu secretly said that it was good that he reacted fast enough, otherwise his result would be unpredictable at this time.
Where he stood before, there was a black bear with a shoulder height of almost two and a half meters!
The black bear stood up and roared at Liu Xiu at this time, as if he was angry that he didn't slap Liu Xiu to death, and it was a full seven meters high, and the roar shook the mountains and forests, and the surroundings fell into silence all of a sudden, leaving only the terrible roar of the black bear echoing.
"This is a beast more terrifying than the ink leopard, it shouldn't be a deliberate sneak attack, its huge size is not enough to settle silently, I should have passed by the place where it rested......"
The mind flickered, facing this terrible black bear Liu Xiu is also not afraid, since he hammered the ink leopard to death with one punch, Liu Xiu has a general understanding of his strength, at this time seeing the black bear clearly, Liu Xiu did not retreat but advanced, and rushed forward.
The wind was whistling in his ears, and when Liu Xiu approached the black bear, the other party's bear's paw with a large grinding plate was also patted over, and a tree trunk with the thickness of an ordinary person's thigh was just in front of its bear's paw, and it was easily snapped with a click!
The agile body dodged to the side, Liu Xiu stepped on the tree trunk on the side, the bark exploded, he turned over and came behind the black bear, and then lightly jumped to grab the hair on the black bear's head, and smashed it down with a fist in his right hand.
Click!
A clear bone sound sounded, and the black bear's head was dented by Liu Xiu's punch, and blood spurted out of his mouth and nose along with his brain.
Rumble~!
The black bear fell to the ground, and his body twitched for a moment and did not move again.
Standing on the black bear, Liu Xiu looked at his fist, was he a little too violent? But then again, in this kind of place, especially in the face of a beast like a black bear, there is no reason to talk about it at all, whoever has the big fist has the capital to live!
It's a long story, but it's only a few breaths.
To be honest, although Liu Xiu's physique is so strong that he doesn't even know where the limit is, he knows that he doesn't know any real fighting methods, and killing a black bear is just crushing it with agility and strength.
He thought about it for a while, if he faced a martial artist in this world, and the opponent's physique and reaction ability were as agile as his own, he was afraid that he would be slaughtered by the place in one face!
There's no way, the existence of a martial artist, think about it, that kind of person is definitely studying how to kill the enemy quickly all day long, and he can't compare with it at all.
I have to say that Liu Xiu is still very self-aware about this.
Therefore, even if he knew that there was a martial artist in this world, Liu Xiu did not explore it for the time being, not that he was not curious, but he knew that often that kind of person was equated with danger, anyway, the nameless body cultivation function has been increasing physique, and he is 'still young', not in a hurry, and it is not too late to contact the so-called martial artist to a certain extent.
From the bottom of his heart, Liu Xiu is curious about what kind of existence the so-called martial artist is, but he is only curious, and he does not have any competitive heart at all.
The black bear was hammered to death with a punch, in order not to waste, Liu Xiu took out an iron knife and began to skin it, and then chopped the four bear paws, and then found out the bear bile, these are all good things, pack and take them away.
I have to say that things are much easier with a sharp iron knife, and if it is still like when he came, Liu Xiu probably doesn't want to pay much attention to the dead black bear.
Considering the load of the bamboo raft, I am afraid that Liu Xiu, a black bear with more than 2,000 catties, can only give up.
At this time, Liu Xiu had to sigh again, this place is worthy of being the other side of the cliff of life and death, if it is over there, I am afraid that such a terrible black bear will not even be able to find it.
The next journey was much smoother, and no other beasts appeared to attack Liu Xiu, and even along the way, Liu Xiu clearly heard the footsteps of animals moving away from him, and he knew that it was because of the bear's skin on his body that he had the breath of a black bear, and other animals did not dare to approach.
At the beginning, I had a glimpse of the giant python in the lake under the mountain on the other side of the bamboo building, and to be honest, Liu Xiu, the black bear he had killed before, really didn't think anything about it.
"Man is really a very strange animal, if I was the same as I used to be, I am afraid that I will be scared to death directly when I see the black bear, but with the growth of physique, the subconscious can judge what is dangerous and what is not dangerous, otherwise, in the face of the black bear, even if I can obviously hammer him to death with one punch, I don't have the courage to do it, people's subconscious is really a magical thing......"
When Liu Xiu was alone, he could only talk to himself, when he came to the river, the bamboo raft was still there, rowed to the shore, and then moved things up, fortunately, it did not sink.
Then, paddling the oars upstream, we went home......
