Chapter 200: Who Makes the First Move
Tho Manzi said: "That wood hunter, don't you see that with us, you are miserable, and you are worried about your life, take advantage of the opportunity to get water alone, lotus leaves wrapped in yellow cockroaches, slippery?"
Mu Mangzi said: "Brother Mu Zhang, not that kind of person!"
"Hmph, isn't that kind of person? He doesn't want you to go with him to get water, obviously he sold you, and he still speaks for him! Say you're not stupid, fools don't believe it! I look at Wanfeng Village, there is no good thing!"
Tho Manzi's words were used to play on the topic, and for Du Qunfang and Lan Hui, who had never been close to him, naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of all the people from the Wanfengzhai tribe.
The Orions dared not speak out, but Lan Hui laughed coldly.
Du Qunfang said unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Isn't it that the people of Wanfeng Village have slipped away? Maybe Mu Zhang's gone to receive the reward!"
"Tho fool, I think you're in a trance!"
"Bang!"
For the maid like smoke, Yu Jie has been hiding in his chest, and the barbarian hit the sword, Du Qunfang said, while rushing forward, the speed of action is faster than the speed of speech, and a punch is sent to the door of the man.
The barbarian was caught off guard, and was immediately beaten back three or four steps, with gold stars in his eyes and blood in his nose.
After Du Qunfang threw a punch, he didn't chase after him, and said disdainfully: "Do you think that my hairy dog has entered Wen Mengyuan and learned virtue, so I really don't dare to do anything to you!"
In Hu'an Palace, the Tho barbarian had several times to speak disrespectfully to Du Qunfang, and Du Qunfang endured it because of his position, but the Tho barbarian became a habit.
After speaking, Du Qunfang turned around and left these people.
The barbarian was so angry that he stood firm, didn't care about the blood, pulled out the short sword with a "brush", and suddenly stabbed at Du Qunfang with a sword!
A few people were taken aback!
It was too late, it was fast, a figure rushed between Du and Tho, opened the bow with his left and right hands at the same time, pushing and pulling and flashing: Du Qunfang's body was crooked and fell to the left;
Du Qunfang punched out, and his anger suddenly disappeared a lot, thinking that Tho Barbarian would also punch back, but he didn't expect him to come more ruthlessly, but fortunately, Mu Mangzi came to the rescue in time, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
Du Qunfang was furious and drew his short sword.
At the same time, the man rolled over and stood up, his mouth full of mud and nosebleeds.
Lan Hui shouted, "Stop!
The other few tiger ben, listening to Lan Hui's shouting, quickly blocked the barbarian and Du Qunfang respectively, and dragged them to both sides to persuade.
When the tiger caterpillar heard Lan Hui's shouting, he was taken aback, hurried over, and saw that the "battle" was over, and insulted: "Wild dog day!
When it comes to water, the grim situation immediately becomes the main contradiction of the moment, and everyone does not speak.
The caterpillar scolded for a dozen or so sentences, and said, "Leave some saliva to live!" Mu Mangzi, except for the people who protected Mengyu and the two martial arts whistles, all the others were called!"
At present, "water affairs" is the first priority, and the anger of Du Qunfang, who was still tense just now and wanted to swallow the other party alive, was almost discharged.
More than a dozen people arrived, and the caterpillar said, "The water has not been obtained, but you all know." Look at this hateful weather, it will be difficult to rain for a few days. If you can't get any more water, you can only scatter the gang!"
The crowd was silent.
"The brothers of Wanfeng Village, each of them will go back to Wanfeng Village, as long as they break their teeth and don't say anything about being with us, their lives will be worry-free;
The crowd was silent again.
After a while, Hu Benlan broke the deadlock: "Brother don't be discouraged. Before you go to the mountain, there will be a way. The four-legged snake has a broken tail, but it can still grow, and the living cannot be suffocated by urine.
"Now, although the water is cut off, there are still occasional wild animals to hunt, and if we are lucky, we can drink blood water, and the watery roots, bark, and grass roots are not completely extinguished, and the wet soil we collect, as well as our own urine, can be replenished. It should be possible to hold on for more than ten days. ”
The caterpillar looked at Lan Hui.
In the past, they didn't have much interaction with each other, but this time they acted together, and the caterpillar found more and more that this Lan Hui was far deeper than what he had heard Du Qunfang say. Perhaps, his experience is more complicated than he said. This is also one of the reasons why the caterpillar asked Lan to return to the team to go to Longtang to get water.
Mu Mangzi continued: "It's better to go to Longtang again tonight to get water." If we don't succeed in fetching water, they may think that we won't go there again. ”
As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion, and some people agreed with Mu Mangzi's proposal, but except for Du Qunfang and Lan Hui, most people did not agree with Mu Mangzi's opinion, but because they had to take the risk to get water again; some people did not agree; and the rest neither supported nor opposed.
Through the discussion, most people advocated going to Longtang to get water again, but considering that everyone's physical strength has decreased, especially those who went to get water today to no avail, they need to rest, and Mu Zhang's arrest will inevitably strengthen their precautions tonight.
Finally, the caterpillar made up his mind and said, "Tomorrow night, I'll go myself!"
Lan replied, "I'll go!"
"That's good. Go to the person, you choose. The caterpillar thought for a moment.
Lan Hui chose Du Qunfang and Mu Mangzi on the spot, and when he saw the pleading eyes of the barbarian, he also chose him, and three hunters were selected from among the people other than the hunters who had worked hard during the day, one to lead the way, and the other to carry water with brute force - if water could be obtained.
The caterpillar saw that Lan Hui chose the best people in martial arts, and saw that he was determined to succeed this time, and even took risky tough measures if necessary, and said: "It's not a last resort, don't die." ”
Lan replied, "Understood. ”
"I mean, it's best that neither side dies. ”
"I understand, too. Whether it is the samurai of the capital or the samurai of Hu'an Mountain, they are all our own samurai. ”
The caterpillar nodded, raised her voice, and said, "You guys, remember them all for me!"
Everyone said yes.
Early the next morning, Lan Hui and the others returned from Longtang, taking dry food and a few lizard-like eggs, and walked slowly to save physical strength and reduce water loss, and looked for watery edible plants and unlucky animals along the way, intending to reach the target before nightfall.
The eggs of these lizards were a method that was devised by a hunter, and through observation, they found some reptile nests near the small dry ditch, dug three feet into the ground, and found a lot of eggs, to be precise, most of them were egg shells.
The owner of the nest has already run away, presumably to a place where there is water, and the eggs left behind are either the "little masters" who have broken out of their shells, or they have been used as drinks by their own kind or other reptiles.
Before the sun sets, the water collector reaches the desired position.
Tonight, the sky is still full of stars.
The closer they got to the water source, animals began to appear, but in order to avoid exposing their targets, they did not dare to hunt them, and watched the "blood" pass by not far from them.
At the mouth of Longtang, the torches are bright.
On the top of a mountain with a good view, after observing for a long time, an Orion said: "Longtangkou, it is illuminated like the day, how to start?"
Du Qunfang said: "I expect that it is precisely like this that it is better to start." ”
Lan replied, "What's the idea?"
"They illuminated the mouth of Longtang so that the water thieves did not dare to do it, but in fact they slept in the forest. We touched them, knocked them unconscious, pulled out their clothes, pretended to be their people, and generously went to fetch water. ”
Lan Hui smiled: "After these few days, your baby's cleverness has finally recovered." I don't think it could be more appropriate than that. ”
When it is ugly, a group of people lurks towards the target and hides in the forest.
One of the Orions offered to go further reconnaissance.
About half an hour later, the Orion came to report that he had seen the warriors guarding the water here, snoring and purring.
Lan Hui suppressed his joy and said, "You can start acting, the action should be slight, and first invite the two brothers of the capital to take a rest." This time, don't move, I'll go myself!"
Tho Man, please go with him.
Lan replied, "You go to the side first, cool off! Also, remember, no one is allowed to make a disturbance until I come back!"
Tho Manzi was angry, and sure enough, he turned around and left, and Mu Mangzi hurriedly followed.
Lan Hui took Du Qunfang by name, crawled down like a snake, about a mile, and saw that there were several warriors sleeping, Lan Hui whispered to Du Qunfang how to do it.
The two of them moved closer to their targets, the two samurai on the outermost edge.
The two were about to start, and suddenly, they only heard a few "porphyry" sounds at Longtangkou, as if someone had fallen into the water, and then someone shouted:
"Someone is stealing water!" This natural pond seems to have become the household goods of these samurai.
Lan Hui was very surprised, tried to lower his voice, and said to Du Qunfang: "This, what's going on? Who went down before us?"
