Thirty or so men searched the endless woodland for a non-existent target, and it took a month to do so.

At first, I was worried that some of them would abandon this "journey" and return to the Tsuchiya group, but it turned out that both monkeys and humans were naturally more willing to live in groups than to be alone.

Except, of course, in some special cases, such as when human carnal desires are flare-up.

I counted the time, observed the expressions of each of them, and when I found that most of the white-robed men had red eyes when they saw the tiger, this "wild training" came to an end.

Yes, we couldn't find the non-existent "murderer" in the end, but we all embarked on a journey back to our hometown with the extreme weight of game.

They were rare hunters, but this time, the white-robed people were no longer hunting alone, so what we got was more abundant than any time in their lives, and it was also an eye-opener for me, for eight years, I never knew there was so much wild game on this island.

For example, a wolf, but it is not a wolf, because it has a circle of zebra-like lines on its body, and its canine teeth are not long enough, so that it may not even be able to bite a larger rabbit to death.

But the way the creature ran and the way its tail was between its hind legs led me to conclude that it was a type of wolf, but I had never heard them howl in the night, they never barked, they only roared low when threatened, note that the word "roar" was an onomatopoeia, not a verb, but a lot like the sound of some giant dogs.

By the time we encountered the creature, we had already penetrated about twenty kilometers into the dense forest, so far that I even decided on my hand-drawn wooden map with charcoal that the team had stepped into the forest of death.

If we go a few kilometers deeper, what kind of beasts will we encounter in Baobuqi, do you remember what Sister Sichuan said to me? Their pathfinder team entered the forest of death, and within a few minutes, the two pathfinders disappeared from everyone's side, and when they found them, they were already white bones.

So, in order to catch what I call a wolf, the team scattered a few hares in the same place, which smelled very strong, and sure enough, in three days, the ambush circle caught a total of six spotted wolves, for which we also lost a dozen hares.

But when they reached the gentle slope, there were only five left, and one of them bit off the rattan rope around his neck and went to enjoy the happiness alone.

I like brutes like wolves, huh....... Well, I mean, I prefer dogs, I just don't know if I can domesticate them, and that's why I got people to bring these sharp-billed animals back with them.

"Can we be just a few of us next time we go into the woodland?"

Huya sat at the dining table in the oracle and whispered, and I understood that the "we" she was referring to actually included everyone, but excluding the bald.

I didn't answer Huya, but picked the oil lamp on the side of the table with a young twig;

Rabbit fat is made of refined anointing oil, and dried hiccups are made of roots and leaves.

Too lazy to get bogged down in the past entanglement between the two of them, even though I don't even know why they're entangled.

"I ...... Can I move here? ”；

Huya, who usually talks very little and has a cold face, suddenly stammered and asked me such a question today.

"No," I said.

This answer made her stunned for a moment, and then she turned her head and looked away.

"Because in a few days, we will have to set off for the jungle with the white-robed people," I paused.

"This time it could be longer and it could be more dangerous," I said.

"And after that? Can I stay here? Huya turned her head, her eyes a little red.

"Still can't";

I shook my head: "Because I have to do one other thing, and then, take you home, take you back to the place where you were born, the island."

"When?" She was very excited to hear my words, and she fluttered to her feet.

"Do you want to go back next year when the grain fields turn golden?" , I said, looking at her delicate eyes.

This time it was her silence, but Huya obviously sped up the speed of the pilaf, and in just a few clicks, she stuffed all the meat and rice into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and said something to me coldly with rice grains in her mouth, and then turned around and disappeared.

Huya is the only one of us who has not learned how to use chopsticks, and she prefers to grasp them by hand rather than chopsticks, or simply stay by the fire and burn everything that can be eaten.

A few minutes later, the sound of training suddenly came from the center of the earthen house group not far away, and I could hear the leading tiger girl shouting the most fiercely.

I have no intention of disturbing Dandan, he should still be sleeping at this time, after all, in the past few days since he came back, he and the Peugeot daughter-in-law have not been in the tree house again, but have been babbling day and night in the wood-walled tree house, okay, this tribe needs men, especially now.

There is also a mute in this regard, but the situation of the mute is obviously very different from Dandan, I saw him once, his eyes were black, he couldn't even stand up straight, and that time, I patted him on the shoulder and told him a trick.

And other than that, the Sichuan girl has always been by my side, and I didn't take her with me in the wild, although she cried and wiped her tears and begged the tiger girl and the bald man to take her to set off together.

But that day, as if we had a tacit understanding, we went out one after another in the starry night, which made her cry for a long time after seeing me, and then rubbed her chest and cried softly that we must go together next time.

She understands that for me, her tears are a weapon, and they work very well.

But the result is: she is still left alone on the gentle slope, accompanied by fish balls that may not be able to see the tail when the dragon sees the head, the spotted wolf that is domesticated in a pit six or seven meters deep and only needs to feed every day, and a few laps of female rabbits who are about to give birth.

The departure time was chosen in the early hours of the morning, not because we needed to hide, but because I couldn't bear to see the disappointed look of the Sichuan girl.

The target is, of course, the murderer, but this time, we will not be acting together.

The group of more than thirty people was divided into four teams, each of six or seven people, and searched and marched in four different directions.

But the new problem is: who will lead the other three teams among the five people: Tiger Girl, Bald Man, Dandan, Dumb Man and Cripple! In the end, drawing lots became the most scientific way to decide everything.

I led the tiger girl north into a woodland that had never been deeper, while the bald man led the man alone in the direction of the spotted wolf forest.

This was not my intention, when I drew lots, it seemed that the bald man caught the tiger girl with the will, but this luck was declared bankrupt as the tiger girl bared out the teeth in his mouth, I deeply remember the bald man's expression when he saw the tiger girl standing behind me with a spear, indescribable, at least one or two words are not enough to describe.

And this change forced me to change the original four-way to three-way, because:

Dandan's team, I absolutely believe that he will only take people to run to the "paradise" once at the farthest, and then he will be stationed there for a month, and then come back and lie to me that "I have gone around the whole island and found no trace of the murderer", don't doubt it, he will definitely do it;

And as for the dumb...... His loyalty reassured me to teach the team to him, but he couldn't get the team to respond quickly, at least not quickly, which was a headache for me.

In the end, I handed over the team to the cripple and told him, "Whether you see the murderer or not, you must bring everyone back safely, this is your task", and the direction was between me and the bald man's team, northwest.

Soon after, I regretted the terrible decision that had almost killed my comrades who had fought side by side on several occasions.
