Chapter 9: Lao Cha's Story
Anyway, this guide is not in vain, and the experience of the old man in the mountains and forests makes me admire the five-body throw. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn this day, he took us past three wolf dens and successfully avoided them, and there were a lot of hidden snakes, insects, rats and ants, which the old man could also see at a glance. It was because of his reminder that we were able to walk down safely that day.
Of course, I was able to walk such a long way easily thanks to the two big men in front of me. They are the bodyguards who came out to follow Lu Na this time, and each of them is about 1.8 meters tall. It's estimated to be 180 pounds, which is about the same weight as me, but most of it grows on my belly.
The two of them had a lot of strength, and half of our luggage was on the two of them. But after walking so far, I was still in good spirits, and I didn't have the tired look I did, and the tents we camped in were all set up by the two of them.
"Hey, old man, how long do we have to get to our destination?" When I had nothing to do, I saw Lao Zhai squatting outside the tent and smoking, so I walked over.
Lao Chu unhurriedly put the pipe in his mouth and took a sip before turning his head: "Oh, third master, we have only been in the mountains and forests for a day, and the distance we have walked is not short, one-third." However, it will take another four days to get to the top of the mountain. ”
I twisted my head and thought, what about you play with me, old thing, walk a third of a day, and then have to walk for four days?
I stretched out my hand to Lao Cha and said, "Lao Cha, I can still distinguish this, two, three, one third of a day, and the rest should be two days." ”
Lao Zha knocked the pipe in his hand on the stone on the ground, and then shook his head: "Third master, the road in the mountains is not counted like this. Do you see that the mountain road we are walking on now is steeper than when we first entered the mountain? The road in the mountains, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes. As for people, the more they walk, the more tired they become. I won't be able to walk much in the next two days. ”
I don't understand it very well, but it seems to make a lot of sense. I nodded slightly, and then said to Lao Cha, "Then can we speed up a little faster?" ”
I don't want to rub it around anymore, even though I have Cordyceps repellent on me. But there are too many bugs in this mountain, and I will be bitten into a big bag if I am not careful, and I always feel that I still have enough energy to walk this time, after all, most of the things in the backpack are on Luna's bodyguard.
"It's better to be careful, we don't have to rush this day or two." Before Lao Cha could speak, Xiao Tian, who came from the side, took over the conversation.
I turned my head and saw that the tents had been packed up, and everyone was here to come.
"Let's make another plan for tomorrow, and then take turns to rest." Cheng "Lord" said directly.
Seeing that we didn't speak, Cheng "Lord" told him about his future plans. In fact, there is nothing special, the day after tomorrow is still mainly in a hurry, of course, the route has a little choice. Most of the general areas are close to nearby hills, so it is convenient for Xiaotu to observe the surrounding situation while walking. So as not to miss out on the destination we are looking for right here.
I looked at the map, and I didn't get around much, so I nodded. Of course, Lu Na and Xiaotian are meaningless, Lao Cha is just a guide, and we will go wherever we say. The next thing left is Lu Na's two bodyguards, these two people, the square-faced one is called the big one, and the long-faced one is the pillar. The two of them were silent all the way, which fully demonstrated the professional quality of bodyguards - work more and talk less. At this time, seeing that we looked over to ask for their opinions, he quickly shook his head and said that he had no objection.
The next step is to arrange a vigil, because we have a lot of people, so we can arrange three shifts. The first class is a big country and a pillar, the second class is Cha Laohan and Xiaotu, and the third class is Xiaotian and Cheng "Lord". My physical fitness and Luna were completely excluded, even though I was protesting. However, judging from the walking situation of today's day, the vigil of Lao Cha is indeed much better than me.
After dinner, while they were still talking, I went into the tent and began to rest. Due to some exercise during the day, this sleep is particularly fast, and I fall asleep directly almost the moment I lie down.
I slept very soundly, and I don't know when, I woke up. When I walked out of the tent and looked at the sky, it was still pitch black, and it should still be night. The late night in early autumn was still very cool, and the swishing mountain wind blew, and I woke up directly.
"Nothing's wrong, is it?" I took a few steps forward and looked at Lao Zhai and Xiao Tian who were cooking the fire.
That's when I realized that I was only on the second shift, and it seemed that there was still some time before dawn.
Xiaotu moved the place, gave me a seat and said, "It's okay, why don't you sleep?" “
I sat down and roasted the fire, feeling warm and lazy: "I can't sleep, but I slept quite soundly, are you sleepy?" “
Xiaotu shook his head: "I also rested at that time, and it's okay now." “
We sat here and chatted while roasting the fire, after all, Xiaotu and I have experienced limited, and the rest of the wonderful ones can't be said. After all, those things about robbing tombs and reselling cultural relics are okay to do secretly in private, if you say it openly, it will really be the birthday boy hanging himself - it's a long life.
Later, chatting and chatting, it became me and Xiaotu listening to Lao Cha tell his story.
While these stories aren't earth-shattering, they sound like something different on a night like this.
Lao Cha's life was also very hard, and the poverty in the first half of his life caused him to risk his life with his fellow villagers to hunt in the mountains. In the mountains before, there were still many tigers, wolves, and bears blind. Of course, when a group of countrymen encounter these fierce beasts, they can only choose to walk around and fight those smaller foxes, hares, elks and other small animals.
But there are dangers even like that, especially for savvy foxes. Lao Cha once experienced such a story.
It was winter, and the snow was so heavy that the snow on the mountains was as deep as the roots of people's thighs. But it is indeed the favorite day of hunters, because such days are best for hunting.
Most of the large animals in the mountains hibernate in hibernation, and it is difficult for small animals to escape in such deep snow. So when you go out hunting on a day like this, it's a safe and abundant day.
On this day, Lao Cha and his friend Lao Chen also went up the mountain together, and the two of them were already veterans among hunters. So when it comes to how to get the most prey, it's not negotiable. The two of them spent half a morning hanging all kinds of pheasants, hares and other prey on their bodies.
