Chapter 10: Stones
We set out in the afternoon, through a forest, climbed a hillside, and walked a dozen miles in total, and the distance in a straight line was probably only five miles, and it was dark. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no way to do it, we have to find food and campsites while looking for medicinal herbs, plus we have to carry such heavy things on our backs, and we have to be on guard against things in the mountains at all times, so we can only do it at such a speed.
In the evening, we camped by a puddle where the water was just below our ankles, and Ning Hongyan and the third child watched from the camp, and the gang leader and I went out to find food.
It took me a long time to dig up some wild vegetables, and the harvest of the gang leader was pitiful, and I only caught a field chicken.
Ning Hongyan quickly made a pot of chicken and wild vegetable soup, which tasted pretty good.
"Gang leader, why did you change your mind, we don't have these wild vegetables as medicinal herbs?" As soon as the old three opened his mouth, he was more annoying, what is it called to use wild vegetables as medicinal materials, these are originally medicinal materials.
"Well...... "Since the gang leader handed over the hollow gourd to me, the whole person has been relieved a lot, and he is also happy in the face of the third child's provocation.
In fact, the third child is concerned about the issue of income: "What are we going to sell if we don't dig wild vegetables?" We didn't do anything this afternoon, did we? Counting the morning, we will have a day's rest today? ”
The gang leader just smiled and stopped talking.
Ning Hongyan stopped to look at her father, and felt very surprised, it seemed that she had never seen her father so relaxed in all these years.
There are some things that can be said to just one person.
I put down my 'rice bucket', swallowed the wild vegetables in my mouth, wiped my mouth, and asked the third child seriously: "Third child, do you have a brain?" ”
"Ah...... I...... Yes......" The old three didn't react for a while, and stammered.
"Really?!" I was surprised, and then admired: "Then you can stay outside the tent tonight, we will all watch you." ”
"......" The third child immediately shut up, but snatched the chicken leg in my rice bucket and ate it, this child is like this, the child has a temper.
After dinner and tidying up, we went back to our respective tents to rest.
Due to the unexpected incident last night, the third child entered the tent and was much more honest, and looked at the string bell on his wrist from time to time, for fear that it would ring, and I also put the magic bag on the side of the pillow.
After lying down for a while, the third child couldn't help it: "Si'er, what's going on with you today, how can you help the gang leader talk?" ”
I didn't sleep last night, and I slept for a few hours in the morning, I was already very sleepy, and I didn't want to say more to this guy, so I directly hit the key point of the third child: "I talked to the gang leader last night, and he agreed to dig up good medicinal materials in the mountains, and one piece can be sold for hundreds of thousands, so we don't have to dig wild vegetables." ”
"Really?!" The third child was shocked, his eyes emitted a strange light, and his mouth almost didn't flow out: "Why did the gang leader change his mind?" Last night, he advised us not to be greedy, and it's only been a day......"
When I was sleepy, I had a very big temper, so I threatened the third child: "If you delay me to sleep again, the bell rings at night, you can deal with it yourself!" ”
“…… You sleep, you sleep. "The third child is completely down-to-earth, turns over, and begins to settle accounts again.
Nothing happened overnight.
When I woke up on the morning of the fourth day of entering the mountain, I still felt refreshed, the fatigue of the night before and the fatigue of yesterday were swept away, and I moved my body and suddenly felt full of energy.
The gang leader, Ning Hongyan, and the third child got up in turn, and this breakfast, there was no chicken left, pure wild vegetable soup.
The third child was a child who didn't want to treat him badly at any time, and while eating, he turned around and took out the jerky we had marinated two days ago from his bag.
If it had been changed before, the gang leader would have stepped forward to stop it, but now, the gang leader no longer cares about it.
I snatched the jerky from the third child's hand, ate it myself, and said while eating: "This is the organization's punishment for you stealing reserve grain, don't worry, when it's time to grit your teeth, I won't give you my dry food at all!" ”
"Gang leader, what do you think of him?" Since the string bell rang that night, the third child didn't dare to mess with me, so he could only appeal to the gang leader.
As everyone knows, the current gang leader is just an 'honorary gang leader', and he has no real power, and the real power is with me.
The gang leader smiled, but still didn't speak.
Ning Hongyan couldn't stand it anymore, and also stood up: "Yes, you should be punished like this, you can try another piece?!" ”
"Hey, why don't you care about them, Gang Leader?" The third child didn't dare to fight against Ning Hongyan and the two of us, and continued to appeal.
The gang leader finally spoke: "I think this method is very good, let's do it in the future." ”
The three people of "......" were all on his own, and the third child completely stopped cooking.
After breakfast, the third child put on his bag, took his weapon, and walked in front angrily.
Me and the gang leader and Ning Hongyan followed behind happily, anyway, there was no specific direction, so the third child would lead the way.
The third child led the way, naturally choosing some flat places to walk, we turned from the edge of a forest to a meadow, not far away, there was another forest.
The gang leader who followed closely behind the third child stopped as soon as he saw the forest, observed it carefully, sniffed it with his nose again, and suddenly reminded the third child: "San'er, be careful, there may be fierce beasts in the forest ahead!" ”
It's okay not to mention this beast, but when he heard this, the third child became even more energetic, and sped up his pace with his combination shovel.
Ning Hongyan and I were walking behind, and when we heard the gang leader's shout, we both quickened our steps and followed.
At a glance, we saw a small forest two hundred meters away, and compared with the forest we had walked before, the forest was obviously much shorter and denser, and it did not interact with other trees, but poked there alone, as if something was wrong.
"There's probably something in that woods." The gang leader told me.
According to the gang leader, if there are good things, there are great guys to guard them.
I saw that the third child was already thirty or forty meters away from us, and I didn't have time to ask more, so I beckoned the gang leader to hurry up and catch up: "Let's catch up with the third child first, that guy is really angry." ”
The three of us hurried after the third child, and when we were about a hundred meters away from the woods, we finally caught up with him.
I pulled his shoulders from behind and said, "Third brother, are you still angry?" Isn't it just a piece of jerky, as for it? Can I give you back a piece? ”
"Get out, I'm looking for a baby in the mountains!" The third child walked faster.
"San'er, don't make trouble, there may be something in the forest ahead, maybe someone is guarding inside." It's not the gang leader, it's also an elder, and the gang leader has also begun to persuade the third child.
"Gang leader, this is really for you to say, if only there were guys guarding inside! I, Zhu Laosan, am not a soft egg, just to show you a hand! Follow behind! "The third child didn't listen to persuasion at all, just walked forward.
The gang leader couldn't go on like this, so he quickened his pace and chased the third child again.
Ning Hongyan has a lot of things on her back, her physical strength is limited, and she usually walks last, I saw that the gang leader went to chase the third child, so I stayed behind and continued to accompany Ning Hongyan, to be honest, I didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at that time, and I thought that even if there was a guy guarding in the forest, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Third child, is there gold on the ground? Can you walk and see if the sky is good!? "I also made a joke with the third child.
At this time, the third child was only thirty or forty meters away from the forest, and when he heard my taunt, he immediately stopped, turned around and yelled at me: "Ma Laosi, don't think you are a good bird......
At the same time as the third child shouted these words, the faces of the three of us behind him changed.
First of all, the gang leader closest to the third child, he was the first to see the black and yellow figures that came out of the forest, and he was stunned, what were they holding in their hands?
Then Ning Hongyan and I also saw those black and yellow figures at the same time, we didn't notice that they were still holding things in their hands, but we just felt that their size didn't match their skills, what was it, half a human height and so big, still jumping up and down the tree?
"San'er, run !!" The gang leader's eyes were good, and he soon saw that those huge squirrels were holding stones in their hands, not to mention the size and body of the squirrels, and the stones they held in their arms alone had to weigh about twenty pounds.
Forty or fifty huge squirrels, each holding a twenty-pound stone in their arms, whether they were thrown or rushed, these four people couldn't parry.
The gang leader knows how good these guys are.
As soon as the gang leader shouted, Ning Hongyan and I were about to run, but the third child, who had his back to those huge squirrels, instinctively turned his head, and what was even more annoying was that he glanced at those squirrels and didn't move, and he didn't know if he was frightened or not afraid at all.
"Whew...... Call...... Call...... ......In an instant, more than twenty stones rose into the air and smashed towards the nearest third child and the gang leader.
The strength of those huge squirrels was so strong that they could throw stones of about 20 catties four or five meters high and dozens of meters away.
The first stone was aimed at the third child, and it was smashing towards his head, and the third finally knew that he was scared, but he couldn't react.
Still the leader of the gang, he threw the bag he was holding towards the top of the third child's head, which happened to block the stone, but the bag and the stone fell down towards the third child together, and the third child was knocked down, but he was not injured.
As the first stone landed, the 'stone rain' thrown by the giant squirrel was also in place, and they all smashed towards the third child and the gang leader.
When the gang leader saw that the third child was smashed, he thought that the third child was seriously injured, and slapped the stones thrown at him with a combination shovel, wanting to rush over to save the third child.
But when I got closer, the third child was not injured at all, and his body was curled up under the two bags to hide from the stones and pretend to be dead.
The gang leader could see at a glance that the third wanted to wait for those huge squirrels to get close to them and fight them hand-to-hand, so he pulled the third child up and shouted angrily: "What are you shaking, run!! ”
The third child didn't speak, he got up and ran, helped the leader carry his bag, and ran too, but the second round of stone rain quickly caught up with them, including me and Ning Hongyan.
Before the second round of stone rain had landed, the huge squirrels who had thrown the stones in the first round were almost rushing to the place where their stones had fallen.
Before escaping, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, these squirrels are really good, and they know how to configure echelons!
