Chapter 159: The Fox Fake Tiger
Volume 2: Demon and Evil Troubled Times, Chapter 159, Fox Fake Tiger Might
Tu Tian exerted his strength under his feet, and the phantom maze stepped forward, lightly jumped onto a nearby big tree, raised his eyes, and found that this place seemed to be no different from the rest of the Five Elements Continent where Tu Tian had been, except for the exception of the extremely tall trees.
In the distance, there was a rolling mountain range, with peaks stacked on top of each other, and mountains and forests were all over the place, and on the surface, there was nothing unusual, except that the vegetation was taller and denser.
"Where have I come here?" Tu Tian racked his brains, but he didn't come up with the idea that he had ever heard of such a strange place.
The small gourd on his chest, when Tu Tian first entered here, once bounced lightly towards the east. But soon it stopped weakly.
Perhaps, I don't know whether the protection is a short or long distance, and it is also a huge consumption for the purple gold gourd.
"Then let's go all the way to the east and see" Anyway, now there is no goal, Tu Tian simply decided to walk towards the east.
It was a sunny day, and it didn't take long for the sun to rise. Tu Tian marched towards the rising sun like this. I don't know how long I walked, but when I came to a thick grass, two voices suddenly came from ahead: "Don't move!"
Tu Tian had actually discovered the existence of the two of them a long time ago. Although they are in the shadows, their cultivation does not seem to be high, not like cultivators, or Orions in the mountains.
Tu Tian was thinking about whether to arrest them and ask for news, but the two of them took the initiative to provoke Tu Tian. Tu Tian was silent, raised his hands high, and listened to the next step of the two's arrangement.
As he spoke, he saw two middle-aged men in their forties standing up from the bushes. Both of them were dressed as hunters, and one of them was a bearded man, who laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, we are not bandits, we are just hunting."
The other big man, who looked a little younger, ran directly to Tu Tian's side and pulled him back two or three steps. Pointing to the grass where Tu Tian was standing just now, he said, "Here is the trap we put to catch wild beasts. I saw you hurrying towards this side just now, and I was afraid that you would step on it, so I stopped you. ”
Tu Tian took a closer look, and there really were a few traps such as animal traps. Of course, these things didn't play a role in Tu Tian at all. On the surface, Tu Tian still arched his hand and thanked him: "Thank you two uncles for reminding him." ”
The two hunters smiled innocently, "Where, we almost hurt you...... By the way, this deep mountain and old forest, why did you come here alone, this is very dangerous. ”
"This, I came out of a down-and-out small family, and I wanted to experience it in this forest, but I lost my way and got separated from a few clansmen......
When the slightly older hunter heard this, his face showed sympathy, and he said, "My surname is Yuan, so you can call me Uncle Yuan." That's my brother, surnamed Liu. Since you are lost, it is dangerous for you to be alone, so you might as well come and stay with us first. Wait until someone comes out of the forest one day, and then take you out with me. ”
"But, big brother, we can't just take people ......." Another hunter surnamed Liu seemed a little hesitant.
"It's okay, I'll go tell you. We can't see people in trouble, so let's not help. Orion, surnamed Yuan, interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
So, Tu Tian followed the two of them to their residence.
From the conversations along the way, Tu Tian learned that the two were not actually hunters, they were both hired to manage the medicine garden and grow medicinal herbs here. Of course, the medicine garden is very large, and there are far more people hired than him, and it is said that there are more than 100 people in total.
After the two of them finished their work today, they wanted to come out to make some game to improve their food. In particular, there was a companion who was sick and weak, and needed to be more nutritionally strengthened.
On the subsequent road, the three of them were lucky enough to find and hit a wild boar and two pheasants, which made the two middle-aged men very happy, and repeatedly called Tu Tian their lucky star.
In this regard, Tu Tian just pretended to smile stupidly, joking about a Spirit Ancestor master, found a few beasts, and secretly helped to suppress them. Hunting like this, where are the two middle-aged men not caught by hand.
At that moment, the two men carried the wild boar, asked Tu Tian to carry two pheasants, and walked on the road in a hurry, Tu Tian wanted to help carry the wild boar. But when the two of them saw Tu Tian's thin body, they both shook it, carried the wild boar and left. Tu Tian had no choice but to do it.
After a while, they followed the two of them to the place they had said to live. The houses here are all made of wood and thatch, and there are about thirty or forty of them as far as the eye can see, which is comparable to a small village in the mountains.
On the periphery of all the houses, there is a fence made of sharpened pieces of bamboo from trees, probably to ward off wild beasts. Only at the north and south ends, there is a passage about a foot wide to connect to the outside.
This is their hired man's dormitory. It is a hundred feet away, and it looks like a residential area, but the houses are much taller and more spacious than the ones here.
"That's sent by the owner, the residential area of the medicine garden managers, those people, they have the ability, they can split the tiger with their bare hands and kick the wolf with their feet" Seeing Tu Tian looking over there curiously, the middle-aged strong man surnamed Yuan introduced.
"What kind of ability, used to bully us all day long. If I had the ability, I would have killed a few more beasts to improve this fading bird-like food. Another man muttered.
"Just say a few words," the man surnamed Yuan glared at him.
As soon as I stepped into the park, a few people saw it and greeted them from afar.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Liu, you're back...... Yo, I've brought back so much game, I'm in for a treat tonight. When the people in the house heard this, they all ran out to see. I saw Yuan and Liu carrying a wild boar, while Tu Tian walked into the residential village with the two pheasants in one hand.
"Hey, this is ......" Someone suddenly found Tu Tianmian and couldn't help asking.
"His name is Tu Tian, he is a young man who came to the forest to practice, but he didn't expect to be separated from his companions after encountering a beast attack, I saw that he was pitiful, so I brought him back, and temporarily let him settle down here, so as not to be harmed by the lynx beast. Brother Yuan explained.
"Look at this little brother, he is strong and healthy, and his clothes are extraordinary, but they are a little tattered, and he doesn't seem to be a poor family. Living with us servants, you won't feel wronged. One of them asked half-jokingly, half-tentatively.
"What does this eldest brother say, I was born in a declining family, not to mention that it is not up to me to decide what my background is. The so-called brothers in the four seas, what is the difference between poverty and nobility? Besides, I'm a person in distress, and now I'm causing trouble for you, and I hope you won't be surprised. Tu Tian said calmly.
"In that case, you're welcome, stay here. The chores on the east side happen to be empty, so you'll be able to clean up in a while, and you'll live there. The man surnamed Liu also helped.
"Then disturb everyone," Tu Tian thanked.
"It's a trivial matter, okay, don't be stunned, hurry up, divide labor according to the old rules, make a fire to boil hot water, remove the wild boar and pheasant, cut the belly, and eat a good meal!"
There was great strength in numbers, and in a short time a large bonfire was built, and the wild boar pheasant was cleaned. Someone else cut some chicken and prepared to stew some mushrooms to replenish the sick companion among them.
And the two men Yuan and Liu are responsible for the leftover pork and chicken barbecue. Unexpectedly, these two people not only have a hand in hunting, but also have a lot of research on barbecue.
Roasted game and sprinkled with salt and spices they had picked themselves. Coupled with the old-fashioned heat control, the roasted game can be described as fragrant.
Everyone watched and smelled, and couldn't help but salivate at the corners of their mouths, and their eyes stared at the food in front of them without blinking, as if a wild wolf who had been hungry for several days was staring at the food.
"Oh, Lao Yuan, the craftsmanship is good, this fragrance has reached us. Everyone stared at the meat on the fire, and did not notice that three men had come to the fire. It wasn't until someone came to speak that everyone raised their eyes and looked over.
"Why are they, coming at this time, there is no good thing to prepare. ”
"Needless to say, it must be greedy, and I want to have a meal. ”
"It's okay to rub it, I'm just afraid of ......"
As soon as the three of them appeared, everyone began to mumble quietly, all with disgust on their faces.
"Yo, it's Steward Zhu. I have a little craft here, how can I get into your eyes? Quick, please sit down, since you're here, if you don't dislike it, let's eat a little bit. When Brother Yuan saw someone coming, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing, got up and greeted.
"Hurry up and get your hands dirty. You don't have to sit down and eat. After a while, when it is cooked, you carry it to my yard for me, and we will taste it slowly. "That Steward Zhu was arrogant and ruthless, and he spoke in a commanding tone.
"Okay, no problem, since you don't want to eat here, I'll cut a few catties for you and send them over later. The man surnamed Yuan said busily.
"What do you cut a few catties! I want a whole wild boar!" Steward Zhu said in a cold tone.
"This ....... not very good, Steward Zhu, we finally hit a wild boar, everyone wait to try it?"
"What's not good, we Steward Zhu can take a fancy to your superficial food, that's your creation!"
"You guys are good, you want to eat wild boar, where can't you hit it, just grab this bit of game with us!"
"That's right, you are usually big fish and meat, and your food is several times better than ours, and now you don't even let go of this little bit of game!"
"This is not a meal you prescribed, this is the game we brought ourselves, why should we give it to you!"
Everyone gossiped, and the more they thought about it, the more angry they became, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.
"What, you're tired of being alive, aren't you?" The other person who came with him drew the dark iron knife he had with him, pointed at the crowd, and looked around with his eyes, the threat was self-evident.
