Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hunting in the Rainforest
I found two Chinese guides in the local area, they often go to the Chinese tribes in the deep mountains and rainforests to collect furs, and bring some grain, oil and salt to sell by the way, so they have a better understanding of the local situation, but the journey is also very far away, about a day or two away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Lang'er paid them half of the honorarium, and after coming back, he paid half more, and the two guides were very happy to take him off, this time he didn't take Rulan and Windsor, mainly because there was a lot of danger in the jungle, there were giant pythons and all kinds of poisonous snakes, although they pestered him to go, Xiao Lang'er said that they were a little retreating as soon as they said poisonous snakes and beasts. It was agreed with them that when they came back in seven days, the fleet would be under the command of Shi Lang to deal with some emergencies.
Then he rode a horse with four relatives, it was really difficult to find the place where the Chinese lived without a guide, and there were some Malays on the way, living in simple wooden houses, the roofs were round spires made of thatch, and some of the roofs were full of smoke, they must be preparing food, these Marats lived a very hard life, the men hunted, the women gathered wild fruits, covered themselves with animal skins, and a dozen children chased and played in the open space with their bare butts, and they showed a look of fear on their faces when they arrived.
The two guides continued to walk with him deep into the mountains, and it was estimated that before dark they could reach the first Chinese settlement, where they lived on the high mountains and were a tribe of about 300 people.
At the beginning, you can still see a large piece of sky, slowly the forest is deep and leafy, covering the sky, there are huge ancient trees everywhere, dozens of people can't surround it, a tree is a forest, lush and lush.
The tree is damp and heavy, breeding a lot of mosquitoes, and some land leeches, which will burrow into the trousers to suck the blood of people and animals, so if you don't look at it, pull out the leeches that are stuck to people's legs, and they will be full one by one, and their stomachs will be round.
There are also brightly colored frogs lying on the branches, with small bodies, but according to the guide, the venom of one frog can kill ten cows.
There are even some pythons hanging down from the trees, spitting letters. Fortunately, it is some slightly smaller in size, if you encounter a man-eating python, it will be a little troublesome, this python is the king of the rainforest, but it takes more than half a month to eat a meal, usually rest in the hole, occasionally come out to enjoy the cool, when you come out to hunt, the momentum shakes the whole mountain forest. Its bite and body wrapping force are amazing, and it can crush large animals.
The most terrifying thing is not the python, but the Sumatran tiger, this tiger eats dozens of catties of meat every day, in this land, it is the real king, with super predation skills.
Led by a guide, Xiao Lang'er walked through this dangerous rainforest, where a tiger had been following for a long time, just waiting for the perfect moment, and it had set its sights on the horse they were riding, having tried the taste of fresh horse meat before, and the tearing pleasure and the smell of blood made it nostalgic.
It approached cautiously, and the horse became restless, and let out a frightened neigh.
The horses had a premonition of danger and were wary of their masters, and the four of Xiao Lang'er's relatives were ready to fire with muskets, and they touched the horse's cheek with their hands, soothing it not to be restless.
A fishy wind swooped, the birds were frightened, the beasts were panicked, the horses were frightened, neighed and kicked the horses' hooves and ran, and the two guides were overturned to the ground, only Xiao Lang'er's horse was calmer, after all, he had seen strong winds and waves, and believed that the master could handle it.
As the guide's horse rushed away, a golden shadow flashed, and with a roar, the sound of the horses struggling and neighing was heard, and Xiao Lang'er instructed them not to move, and let him deal with it.
Through the jungle, in an open spot, the white horse was bitten to the ground, and the tiger pounced on it, biting the white horse's neck, sucking the horse's blood, and the horse's eyes slowly lost their life. Then he began to bite in big mouths.
When Xiao Lang'er appeared in front of it, it stared at him, ignored it, and still gnawed its food, when Xiao Lang'er walked in, the gold-spotted tiger roared angrily, and pounced on him, the sharp white teeth in the big mouth of the blood basin flashed with cold light, Xiao Lang'er wiped the ground and rolled, the tiger pounced on his body, the tiger saw that he did not pounce on Xiao Lang'er, he was anxious and annoyed, and he rushed over and lifted it, Xiao Lang'er flashed again, the tiger was angry, and then he erected an iron rod-like tail and swept it, and the big trees next to the bowl were cut off by lazy waists, Xiao Lang'er jumped lightly and grabbed the tiger's thick tail, the tiger wanted to pounce reflexively, and Xiao Lang'er flashed away in an instant, Grab its tail is a stroke, the tiger fell heavily to the ground, the tiger was thrown off seven meat and eight vegetarians, but not over, Xiao Lang'er lifted its tail, high in the space, and then fell down heavily, the tiger weighed four or five hundred pounds, smashed down from a high altitude, hit the ground, and suddenly could not move, Xiao Lang'er held its top flower skin, it was a punch, this punch had internal strength, the tiger let out a desperate whimper, and never moved again.
At this time, more than a dozen capable men with naked bodies appeared from the forest, combing their hair in a strange style, watching Xiao Lang'er beat the tiger to death with his bare hands, with a look of surprise on his face. The tiger ate several of their people, and they rounded it up for months, without even a single hair on it.
Now Xiao Lang'er is a hero in their eyes, and the heroic man who is the leader of them gives a thumbs up, "Hero!
At this time, the four relatives and two guides came panting, and when they saw that the tiger was killed, they were relieved, and when they saw the men around them, they shouted loudly, "Erniu, big dog, are you all here?" Everyone knows, under the introduction of the guide, it turns out that this is the Longshan tribe of the Chinese tribe that Xiao Langer is going to.
The dozen or so Longshan men tied up the tiger's feet, cut a thick wooden stick, and the four of them lifted it up and walked towards the stockade.
Xiao Lang'er asked about the situation of Erniu, this sturdy man has a dark face, very refreshing, is the hunting captain in the village, and said happily, "I didn't expect to meet a hero from my hometown in this deep mountain rainforest, is it really a blessing for three lives, and he is also a nobleman, help us get rid of the tiger, this tiger hurt the lives of several people in my village, come and go like the wind, we have a lot of sets, all of them are seen through it, and they were killed by the hero with three punches and two feet, and I want to drink three cups with the hero tonight!" As he spoke, he patted Xiao Lang'er on the shoulder and laughed.
Xiao Lang'er was also infected by his boldness, "Okay, how can three cups be enough, you have to drink it for three nights in a row!"
Everyone walked through the layers of rainforest, and the forest was already dark, so they lit the torches, and the lights were lit in the distance, and that was the village of Longshan.
At the gate of the village in Longshan, there were a group of men and women, old and weak, unclothed, all barefoot, some women were still naked, when they saw the torches, they let out bursts of cheers, especially when they saw a huge tiger, everyone was even more excited.
The patriarch had a fluttering white beard, leaning on crutches, looking at these people who had returned, counting them one by one, how could there be a few more people, and none of them were injured.
"Clan master, don't count, we are lucky today, look, who is this, let me introduce you!" Er Niu happily invited Xiao Lang'er over, "Clan Elder, this is Marquis Shen from Daming, who came to see us, and helped us kill the tiger by the way!"
"Hello clan master, I am Shen Lang, from the Ming Dynasty, the emperor gave me the title of Marquis Shen, and I was ordered to inspect the countries of Nanyang and visit our compatriots outside. Xiao Lang'er said.
The clan leader knelt down all of a sudden, tears flowed down the old days, and the clansmen behind him also knelt down, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and I'm finally looking forward to someone coming to call the shots for us!
Xiao Lang'er hurriedly helped the clan master up, "You have suffered!" took the clan master's hand and went to the hall to chat and understand their situation.
An open space, surrounded by a large number of people, Er Niu took a few young people and began to skin the tiger, this tiger is really big, this tiger skin is valuable, this must belong to Shen Houye, the tiger was killed by him after all.
Spread the tiger skin to hang in the open space, bigger than a door panel, I have never seen such a big tiger skin, it can be said to be the king of tigers, and everyone is amazed.
Some of the children gathered around them, looking at their firearms, some wanted to touch them, but they didn't dare, and they were very envious of their weapons and machetes hanging from their waists.
Some of the younger women hid behind the pillars and watched secretly, a little shy, embarrassed to show their breasts. Seeing that they were neatly dressed, they were very energetic, and their hearts were pounding.
In the clearing, a large cauldron was propped up, the fire was blazing, the water was boiling in it, and the tiger meat cut into large pieces was put in, and soon the smell of meat came, and everyone sat around, saliva gurgling, and swallowing.
Cooked fish out, chopped into small pieces, everyone has a share, enough for 200 people to eat, more than 400 catties of tiger meat, each person can eat a catty, plus those internal organs, enough to eat a meal, that is, the tiger meat is too supplemental, can not eat more, otherwise you can't sleep at night, but hurt your vitality.
Xiao Lang'er listened to the story of the clan master, they were at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the coastal wars of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were frequent, from there to the sea to escape, to the South China Sea, at the beginning was fine, eat and drink without worry, that is, in the past few decades, the Portuguese navy came, burned, killed and looted, destroyed the kingdom of Malacca, and drove them into the deep mountains and old forests, living such a precarious life.
"Old man, don't worry, as long as it takes a year or two, I can let you go down the mountain and go to the beach to live a life without worrying about eating and drinking. Xiao Lang'er said.
"I'm old, it's just my clan, I hope they can live a good life, and I will hand them over to you in the future!" said the clan master.
This is Erniu coming over, "Hou Ye Shen, patriarch, you can have dinner!" said Xiao Lang'er and Xiao Lang'er helped the clan leader up, and went to the empty seat left by the fire to sit down.
"Take the best of our clan and entertain the guests!" said the patriarch.
"It's ready!" said Erniu, carrying out a jar of wine and pouring it into a wooden bowl.
"Marquis Shen, we toast you with a glass of wine!" Several sturdy men took the wine and drank it all. Xiao Lang'er also drank a bowl, "Good wine! How is this brewed?" The patriarch laughed hehehe, "How can we have any good food, this is all collected wild fruits and wild flowers in the mountains, dried and put into the jar to ferment, and if it is hidden for a long time, it will become wine, specially used to entertain VIPs, you don't laugh." "Old man, this is a good thing, it's very strong to drink!" "Then you can drink it in a big bowl!
"Come, Marquis Shen, eat a piece of tiger meat, this is what you personally beaten. Er Niu handed a piece of tiger meat of about one pound to Xiao Lang'er. Xiao Lang'er also felt a little hungry at this time, so he swallowed the tiger meat in three times and two times, and after eating, he felt that the speed of blood circulation in his body was very fast, and he was particularly energetic.
Xiao Lang'er drank a few more cups, his head was a little dizzy, and he said to the clan master, the clan wanted Erniu to arrange a place to live, and Erniu took Xiao Lang'er to a house upstairs in the wooden building and asked him to lie down.
Erniu returned to the clan master. The patriarch whispered in his ear, and Erniu went to find the most beautiful girl among the clansmen and said to her, and the girl's face was immediately flushed, but she also agreed shyly.
went to bathe and change clothes, and went up to the wooden house on the second floor, Xiao Lang'er's head was still dizzy, and he saw a bright and naked woman walking in, lying naked like a kitten beside him.
Xiao Lang'er knows in his heart that this is a custom, that is, to use a woman to sleep with the guest, if the guest is honest, the guest can be trusted, if he moves his hands and feet, it means that the guest is not right-minded and not worth paying.
Xiao Lang'er drank wine and ate tiger meat, a seductive body lay next to him, it is impossible not to be tempted, but he must control it, otherwise he cannot be trusted, this night will be a difficult night, the blood is boiling in the body, and the impulse stirs his mind.
Xiao Lang'er ran the exercises of the Yi Jin Sutra, put on a sleeping position, his left finger was facing up, his right finger was facing down, his body was bent like a bow, and his mind started from his right finger, attracting the essence of the sun and moon into the body, and he was running for seventy-two weeks in Ren Mai Du Mai, and then sank into the dantian, although there was a temptation next to him, Xiao Lang'er concentrated on cultivation and reached a state of emptiness, and Xiao Lang'er's cultivation improved again tonight.
It's just that it might hurt this innocent girl, because if he didn't touch her, she would think she wasn't attractive at all.
At dawn, she glared at him fiercely in her clothes, went down the stairs, downstairs, the clan lord glared at her, Jiu'er? she shook her head, the clan master's heart was put down, this is a person who can control desires, can achieve great things, and it seems that she has met a person worthy of trust.
Jiu'er ran over and hugged a grandmother and cried bitterly, and the grandmother stroked her hair with her hand, "This child, don't worry too much, how can you wear such a person, grandma will help you find one in Heimu Village, grandma is also from that place, help you find a handsome offspring." Jiu'er shook her head desperately.
