Chapter 11: Ascending the Mountain

After selecting the weapon, he purchased a ten-meter-long rope on the recommendation of the shopkeeper.

This rope is said to be made of a hundred years of wild mountain teng, and it is also soaked in tung oil for half a year, which is not only strong and durable, but also not afraid of wind and sun, even if it hangs in the wild for more than ten years, it will not be weathered.

Lin Qing's words to the shopkeeper must have been in the left ear and out of the right ear, but he paid happily when he pulled the rope hard without the slightest sign of breaking it.

Lin Qing came out of the store with a firewood knife, went to the tailor's shop to buy two changes of clothes, and then went to the grocery store to buy some deworming medicine, and prepared some food and water.

After preparing what he needed to go up the mountain, Lin Qing came to the exit of Tainanshan Town.

Lin Qing's purpose is those hunters who live in the nearby mountains all year round, and Tainan Mountain is also a large group of mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles, relying on Lin Qing to find fierce beasts in it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, Lin Qing set his eyes on those hunters who came to the town to sell medicinal herbs and animal skins, because it was very dangerous to go into the mountains to hunt, and if he was not careful, the positions of the hunters and the prey would be reversed.

Therefore, many of those old hunters will go to the mountains by themselves, and after figuring out the location of their prey, they will come to the town to find some young people with kung fu and courage to go into the mountains together.

"Young man, are you going into the mountains?" Lin Qing had just walked to the gate of the town, when an old man wearing a sheepskin and holding an iron zhang in his hand came forward to talk.

"Does the old man have a goal?" Lin Qing replied after looking at the old man's clothes.

"Of course, the old man recently found a big insect in the mountains, which is worth a thousand taels of silver, and if the young man is interested, he can go to the tea shed in front of him to talk in detail. The old man looked at Lin Qing with a smile and said.

Lin Qing nodded and followed the old man to a tea shed next to him.

The hut is not big, only five or six tables, there is a big stove in front of the hut, two large kettles sit on it, and on the deck chair next to it, the owner of the tea shed is dozing groggily.

Pedestrians who come and go in such a tea shed can sit here and drink a pot of strong tea for two coppers, and can also pour a water bag with salty tea by the way, although it is not very delicious, but it is also a good way to replenish the salt in the body for pedestrians who have been in a hurry for a long time.

"The owner came to make tea. The old man led Lin Qing to an empty place in the corner and sat down.

"Okay, sir, come right away. The shopkeeper, who was originally sleepy next to him, was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly replied with a smile.

After the teapot was brought up, the old man drank a cup slowly, and Lin Qing asked, "Old man, can you tell me in detail?"

"Okay, but this has to start from this month, that day I was looking for herbs in the mountains, and suddenly I heard a tiger roar, which was so frightened that my face changed and I hurriedly climbed to the top of a nearby tree and hid. Later, I found that the big worm was only a few dozen feet away from me, so I tried to shoot it with an arrow, but the big worm was too sensitive, and as soon as the arrow came out, it turned and ran, and I waited for a while and did not move, so I followed the path it ran and touched it, and then found its nest. The old man drank tea and said, "Later, I began to hide in his lair for a while, thinking about making some traps to see if I could kill this big worm, who knows how this big worm is so shrewd, as long as I find a different place nearby, I will immediately change places, old man, I stayed there for half a month, I was stunned and didn't find a chance, so I had no choice but to come here to see if there was anyone who wanted to shoot together." ”

"Old man, have you been by the tiger's den for half a month?" Lin Qing asked.

"It lived in a chain of holes, with two openings, the upper one was very small, and only one person could enter, and the lower one allowed it to enter, and I hid in the little hole above for a while. ”

Lin Qing always felt that something was wrong when he heard this, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"The young man, the old man, has found three people who are willing to go into the mountains to hunt tigers together, plus you are just enough, if the young man is willing, how about we set off in a while." ”

Lin Qing silently looked at the old man and silently recited in his heart, "Divine Tower, Explore"

"Name: Li Hu

Gender: Male

Strength: 11

Intelligence: 6

Dexterity: 7

Stamina: 7

Talents: None"

Lin Qing was also taken aback when he saw the old man's panel, this innocent old man turned out to be a strange person with all attributes beyond ordinary people, and the power of up to 11 points made Lin Qing a little surprised.

"How did the young man think about it? It seems that it is noon, and if you enter the mountain later, it will be completely dark when you reach the vicinity of the tiger's den. ”

Lin Qing nodded when he heard this, stood up and followed the old man out of the tea shed and walked towards Tainan Mountain.

The old man took Lin Qing to a land temple next to the town, "Young heroes, come out, everyone is ready to go up the mountain!"

As soon as the old man's words fell, three young men wearing brocade clothes, a sword hanging from their waists, and holding folding fans walked out of the Land Temple.

"Old man, you're too slow, we'll go back if you don't come back. As soon as he came out, a young man muttered at the old man.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, just go here and now, come and follow me into the mountains to hunt tigers. The old man looked at the teenagers with a smile.

"Hurry up, hurry up and kill the tiger, I have to go back to Yichun Tower to play at night," another teenager said.

Seeing this, the old man led the way to the mountain, and the young men followed behind the old man to talk about whose girl he had recently hooked up with, or which brothel he had taken the red pill from which Qing official.

Lin Qing shook his head when he heard this, and some bad thoughts began in his heart.

The old man walked very fast, although Lin Qing did not have much effort to follow, but how could the three teenagers with their bodies hollowed out by wine be like Lin Qing and them, they would be tired after a while, and they couldn't do it and shouted to rest.

There was even a young man who wanted to turn around and go back, but the old man didn't know what to say to him, so he followed the old man as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and persuaded the other two to continue moving forward.

After walking slowly for nearly ten kilometers, we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where the old man said that there was a tiger's life.

The old man squatted on a rock, chirping, smoking a dry cigarette, looking at the three teenagers who were slumped on the ground like mud, and then sneaked a look at Lin Qing, who was sitting and drinking water in a fat place, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Lin Qing had already determined that this old man must not have any good intentions when he brought them here, although those three people were not good people, but letting them follow this old man into the mountain like this would probably only become the rations of the beasts in the mountain.

Lin Qing sighed silently, but decided to follow the old man into the mountain, if he had any intention of killing himself for money, it would be better for him to be chivalrous and righteous.

After resting for about half an hour, the sun had already set on the horizon, and the golden light of the setting sun sprinkled all over the earth, the old man stood up and said to the four of them, "It's getting dark, let's hurry into the mountains, or we will sleep in the wilderness tonight." ”

Lin Qing didn't say anything and stood up, and the three of them also followed the old man towards the mountain.
