Chapter 30: Sneaking Away
Directly south of the village is the road to the outside world, and a few dozen miles north of the village is a huge mountain range, which is like the rear of the village, since the beginning of history, I have never heard of anyone who can cross the mountain range, let alone what is on the other side of the Ludao mountain range.
There are almost no small animals in the village, because the animals in this world are full of spirituality, if it is just to kill them for their meat, there seems to be no animal to feed, they would rather starve to death, than take advantage of your heart, so if you want to eat meat, you must go to the mountains to hunt in person.
The mountains are very dangerous, so the villagers will only hunt in the periphery, and although it has a long history, the village has only a few thousand people until now, so there is no shortage of supply.
Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the village organized a team to go hunting this time, divided into five teams, each team of about dozens of people, and five children were placed in the five teams for key protection.
"Daddy, Daddy, just let me go, please. The team was about to leave, and Xiao Wu held her father's arm and shook it vigorously.
"No, the village chief arranged for you to take care of Mr. Lan in the village, so you should be obedient. ”
"Brother Lan has nothing to do, I woke up this morning, I'm going, Brother Huzi and they have been there several times, I'll go once, Daddy, please." "Last time, Xiao Wu went with the team, for her, who has been held in this village since she was a child, everything in the mountains is so novel, and she finally looks forward to it again, where is she willing to give up such an opportunity.
"No, just these five places today, we have limited energy, we can't protect so many people, go back quickly, I'll take you next time." ”
No matter how Xiao Wu begged, the number of teams that had been arranged would not change because of her, Xiao Wu was so angry that she stomped her feet again and again, but everyone ignored her at all, and still went in five directions.
"No, I have to go, if you don't let me go, I'll go by myself, hum. Xiao Wu was so angry that he jumped on the spot several times, pinched Xiao Man's waist with both hands, and muttered in his mouth.
"Sister Xiaowu, I want to go too. At this time, a timid voice sounded in Xiao Wu's ears, startling her, and Xiao Wu looked back and saw that it was a thin monkey.
"Uh, that, you want to go too?"
"Well, I heard that there is no danger in the periphery, we, well, Sister Xiaowu, can you take me to take a sneak look?"
"This ......" Xiao Wu was obviously a little moved, but the thin monkey was too weak, what if something happened, but it was rare for someone to sneak out of the gang with her, and the thin monkey didn't come just now, so she would have secretly run to try.
"Sister Xiaowu, let's sneak up and see, nothing will happen. Seeing Xiao Wu's hesitant appearance, the thin monkey felt that there was a play, so he continued to instigate.
"Well, okay, but you have to listen to me and don't run around,"
The thin monkey is only one year younger than Xiao Wu, but because of his low strength, he has always had low self-esteem, and he naturally feels inferior. Hearing Xiao Wu's condition, the thin monkey nodded like pounding garlic and agreed.
After taking some dry food and water from home, Xiao Wu and the thin monkey set off, before leaving, Xiao Wu went to Lan Yufeng's residence first, told Lan Yufeng that he was going to the mountain, and told him to keep a secret for himself no matter what, and bring back delicious food, she would definitely send it to him.
Although Lan Yufeng did not approve of her going on an adventure, but seeing Xiao Wu's excited appearance, he still did not force him to stay, after more than a month of getting along, for the little girl who cared about him everywhere, Lan Yufeng had already regarded her as his own sister from the bottom of his heart, although she knew that she was more curious about him, maybe after that curiosity, she would not care about him as much as she did now, but she still couldn't help but be moved by her innocence and kindness.
Don't look at Xiao Wu looks lively and active, but Lan Yufeng always feels that she lacks the vitality that a girl of this age should have, and has been trapped in this mountain village for a long time, what is the difference between being detained and detained?
Yesterday's injury was not serious, after a night's rest, the spiritual power was almost recovered, Lan Yufeng lay quietly on the bed, thinking in his heart, when Bai Ling woke up, he would also go to the mountains to break through.
As it darkened, the women left behind in the village had prepared all kinds of tools and spices to process the fresh meat as soon as the hunters returned.
"It's getting dark, why haven't you come back?"
"yes, every time at this time, I should have come back a long time ago, right, nothing will happen, right?"
"Bah, don't talk nonsense, what can happen. ”
"Quick, come on, get the medicine, hurry. While everyone was waiting anxiously, all kinds of messy footsteps suddenly came from the direction leading to the mountain at the entrance of the village, and anxious shouts were heard at the same time.
"Daddy Huzi, what's wrong, what's wrong?" The people who rushed to see several men covered in blood, one of them had a person on his back, and Hu Ziniang recognized at a glance that this man was his man, and hurriedly ran forward to ask.
"Don't talk about it yet, hurry up and find the medicine to stop the bleeding, our medicine is all used up, what about the village chief, quickly call the village chief over." Huzi's father didn't care about his wife's inquiry, and he didn't even stride away without stopping at all.
Several people in the rear also rushed to the entrance of the village, but their steps were a little staggering, they all supported each other, everyone was covered with blood, and they didn't know whether the road was their own or whose own.
The people in the village were all alarmed and ran out to ask what was going on, and the village chief also rushed over as soon as possible.
"What about the others, why are you the only ones coming back?" Seeing everyone babbling about what was going on, the village chief hurriedly stopped it, and first asked where the others were.
"Encountered the beast tide, Xiaowei was injured, a few of us brought him back, and the others were fine, they were all broken in the back. A man covered in blood sat on the ground with everyone's support, saying that he was not hurt much and that he did not have to worry.
"How can it be, how can there be a beast tide this season?"
"Yes, how can there be a beast tide?" When everyone heard that it was the beast tide coming, they all showed incredible expressions and were extremely shocked.
"I don't know what to do, there are too many, and some of them don't live on the periphery at all, we went well at first, and then we inexplicably rushed out one by one. ”
"Village chief, quick, hurry up the barrier, they're all rushing this way. Then another group returned, and the condition of this group was obviously much better than the previous ones, and there seemed to be no casualties, and one of them ran and screamed.
"That's right, the village chief is about to hold up the barrier, those beasts are crazy. ”
Everyone who came back was covered in blood, panting, and a little exhausted, even if not injured.
"But there are still many villagers who have not returned. ”
"Let's hold it up first, and when they come back, we will open the barrier and let them in, otherwise the village will be destroyed!"
"Okay, I'll go open the enchantment, you guys go back and have a good rest, go and ask a few old people to take a look at Xiaowei's injuries, and the others go to their respective homes and prepare the medicine for backup. ”
After the village chief arranged various affairs in an orderly manner, he walked alone in the direction of the altar, preparing to open the enchantment, but Lan Yufeng suddenly stopped him.
"Xiao Wu hasn't come back yet, and so many other people haven't come back either, you open the enchantment, what should they do?"
"Alas, everyone else has a look after each other, it shouldn't be a big problem, but Xiao Wu and the thin monkey sneaked out of the river and ran into the beast tide, I think it's ......" Speaking of this, the village chief shook his head.
"So you can't even open the enchantment, otherwise wouldn't you just give up Xiao Wu?" Seeing the village chief continue to walk forward, Da Lan flashed and blocked in front of him again.
"I have to open the barrier, I can't joke with the whole village. ”
"I know you're right, but I can't watch Xiao Wu die outside and be out of company!"
Reason told Lan Yufeng that there was nothing wrong with the village chief doing this, but when he thought that Xiao Wu's thin-looking body was surrounded by wild beasts, he couldn't control his emotions, he definitely couldn't leave Xiao Wu outside alone, even if he was in danger, he had to go out to save her.
"Hey, village chief, you can't let him go out, it's hard to come back if he goes out. The dispute between the village chief and Lan Yufeng attracted several onlookers next to him, and seeing that Lan Yufeng was running in the direction of the mountain, he hurriedly stopped him.
"Alas, let him go, maybe, he can really bring Xiao Wu back, he won't have an accident easily. Looking at Lan Yufeng's back, the village chief said helplessly, and hopefully.
