Chapter 18: Stormy Waves
A few lynx in front of the hill pounced at great speed.
Zhang Qixun dodged away, he knew that there was a little brother standing behind him, and he would not let the lynx run to the top of the hill at all, so he stared straight into the grass for a long time, and the largest lynx pounced.
Seeing that the prey actually dared to provoke itself, the lynx immediately roared angrily, waved its claws and went straight to Zhang Qixun's front door, Zhang Qixun did not entangle with it at all, an octagonal silver dart appeared in the palm of his hand, pressed the mechanism, and aimed and threw it into the lynx's wide open bloody mouth.
At the same time, the lynx also approached in front of him, Zhang Qixun protected his throat, fell backwards into the grass, and rolled to the side on the spot.
The lynx pounced into the air, its sharp claws hooked to the side, Zhang Qixun only felt a tingling pain in his shoulder, followed by a loud bang, and the flying flesh and blood scattered in all directions with the wave of qi.
Zhang Qixun rushed into the grass pit that exploded before the explosion, avoiding the strongest wave of aftermath.
patting the soil on his head, Zhang Qixun had just gotten up from the pit, suddenly felt the danger, his neck shrank, and a breaking sound grazed the top of his head, straight into the neck of a lynx, and blood splattered on the spot.
The hounds of the other group had already rushed over and rushed up to fight the lynx.
The strongest lynx had been killed by Zhang Qixun, and when the lynx saw that the general trend was gone, they screamed a few times, and fled through the grass to the jungle, and their mournful screams came from the depths of the forest, and there was no movement for a while.
The hounds still wanted to catch up, but they were called back by Ah Gui and their whistles.
The little brother had blood on his hands, and he ran over quickly with a short knife, scooped Zhang Qixun out of the pit, and saw the cracks and blood stains on the shoulders of his white sweatshirt, and immediately frowned, "Are you injured?"
Zhang Qixun waved his hand indifferently, "Small injury, it's okay, I brought tetanus medicine, and it will be fine if I finish getting an injection."
As he spoke, he pulled out the knife on the lynx's neck, which was a hunting knife unique to the Yao tribe, with marks on it, and it was obvious that he had made a lot of achievements.
Then he looked into the bushes, the knife that flew over his head just now flew out from that side, although he was almost injured by mistake, but Zhang Qixun knew who the owner of the knife was, and they would have to contact each other later.
Several people on the hillside also hurriedly ran down, with cold sweat on their faces, and kept cursing something in local language.
Seeing that Zhang Qixun was injured, Agui sighed, and hurriedly took out a small jar from his arms to give him medicine.
The drugs used by these hunters are all suitable for the living environment, and they have been accumulated with more than ten generations of experience, so Zhang Qixun did not refuse, took off his sweatshirt, wore a vest, and let him use soju to wash the blood stains and then apply medicine to the wound.
The wound was actually not deep, because it was dodged in time, and with the barrier of clothes, only a little skin was scratched, and the blood stopped for a while.
At this time, the grass on the other side of the jungle shook violently, and everyone immediately became vigilant.
In front of everyone's eyes, a withered old hand stretched out from the darkness, and then a figure walked out into the moonlight.
It was a shirtless thin old man, his eyes were like torches, blazing, although he was thin, but his body was full of tendon meat exercised in actual combat, refined as iron, it can be seen that he must have been a powerful person when he was young.
He was covered in blood, carrying a fat lynx corpse on his shoulders and one in his hand.
It was only when they came close that they could see his face clearly.
However, Zhang Qixun's attention was focused on the tattoo on the old man's body.
Antlers dragon scales, treading fire and foehn wind.
It's the same as that of the little brother and Zhang Qixun.
Wu Xiaoxie gasped and subconsciously looked at the little brother.
The little brother was obviously stunned and wanted to go up and ask.
But the old man just glanced at Zhang Qixun and the three of them lightly, and walked towards Ah Gui and them.
Wu Xiaoxie took two steps to Zhang Qixun's side, and whispered close to his ear: "Damn, what a cool old man, he has the demeanor of a stuffy oil bottle, you see that his tattoo is exactly the same as yours, could it be that this guy is a bottle father?"
sheet
Ji Xun raised his hand to push his head away, "Nonsense, little brother can be his father at his age."
Wu Xiaoxie glared, "I don't believe it!"
Zhang Qixun smiled, "Let's put it this way, what do you think of the seniority between the little brother and me."
Wu Xiaoxie thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be much bigger, uncle or something?" He only knew that Muyu was the younger brother of the little brother, and he really didn't know the details.
Zhang Qixun glanced at the little brother and whispered in Wu Xiaoxie's ear: "The little brother and my grandfathers are the same generation, now I understand."
Wu Xiaoxie was shocked, and said in his heart, I damn it, isn't the little brother's face unchanged because he ate the corpse worm pill like Chen Wenjin?
Zhang Qixun saw his thoughts at the moment from his expression, and whispered, "Do you think that the corpse worm pill and the old stuffy treasure blood are put together, who is more powerful?"
Wu Xiaoxie leaned on and stared at the little brother's face for a long time, as if he had discovered a new world.
Zhang Qixun patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, don't think about it, it's good to know in your heart, let's go too."
The three of them also walked over, and the old man was talking to the hunters in Yao, and the hunters quickly dispersed and carried over the corpses of all the lynx they had slain, and piled them together.
Wu Xiaoxie saw that those people were obviously very respectful to the old man, as if the old man had a very high status, so he quietly asked Ah Gui, "Who is this person?"
Ah Gui patted him and said with a smile, "Who else could it be, Daddy Panma."
Wu Xiaoxie was shocked, and then realized that at such an old age, he could still kill a tricky carnivorous beast like a lynx with his bare hands, and it was estimated that there was no one else but him.
You must know that a single adult lynx can hunt a lone adult Tibetan wolf, and the wolf's cubs are also on the lynx's diet, which can be described as a veritable "little overlord in the forest", which belongs to the best of the medium-sized beasts.
Ah Gui introduced Zhang Qixun and the three of them to Panma Daddy, and Panma Daddy's eyes looked around the little brother and Zhang Qixun respectively, especially when he saw the little brother, his expression changed slightly, and then he began to wipe the blood stains on his body casually.
The same unicorn stepping on the fire looked a little strange on him for no reason, as if the unicorn had gone mad.
Zhang Qixun waited for him to finish wiping, and after applying the medicine, he returned the Yao knife in his hand to him.
Father Panma took it and thanked him in Yao.
A dog barked, and several other groups of people also rushed over, and the son of the old man was inside.
They looked serious, gathered together and muttered something, and Ah Gui instructed them to burn the bodies of the lynx on the spot and bury them.
Seeing that Zhang Qixun and the three of them were puzzled, Ah Gui explained: "Our lynx here has not shown its face for many years, and it suddenly appeared here again, probably because of the heavy rain a few days ago, and something unusual in the deep mountains was forced to come out, and there are many rats in crowded places, they should be attracted to the edge of the village by food."
"The skins of the lynxes are priceless, but we must not peel them off and sell them, or in less than a week the poachers will gather here like cats that smell fish, and although they may not be able to hunt the lynx, they will be insatiable, and then the whole forest will be swept away by them, and there will be nothing left."
It is also true that in recent years, poaching has been very rampant in Guangxi, and the places it passes are like locusts transiting, as long as it can make money, it is a sparrow, and those guys will not let it go.
If the news of the lynx here spreads and those people smell it, they will definitely chase it and kill it.
Although they are hunters, they are also principled hunters, and they hate the practices of poachers.
They firmly believe that any living creature in this land that gives birth to them is spiritual, and Agui said that that kind of person will be punished sooner or later if he is seen by the sky.
Most of the Yao people worship nature, believe in ancestral ghosts and gods, and some believe in Taoism or Buddhism, which is more important for karma.
When it was finished, the sky was already white, and everyone cleaned up and led their dogs down the mountain.
At the mountain pass, I met the village cadres who were about to go up the mountain with people, and I was very happy to see that everyone had returned safely.
Zhang Qixun originally planned to go back to fight the tetanus he brought, but Agui insisted again and again, so he had to go to the village doctor with Panma's father.
The flesh on the side of the back of the horse daddy was gnawed by the beast's mouth, and I heard that if he hadn't used to tie a stick to his back when he went up the mountain, he would have let the lynx sneak attack bite off his neck.
The village doctor's stitching technique is really rough in Zhang Qixun's opinion, just like sewing a quilt, poking it into it will pull the thread, the pan horse father is also a man, insisting on not taking anesthetics, you can hear the biubiu sound made by the tip of the needle piercing the skin, and Wu Xiaoxiao grinned.
After treating the injury, I had another meal at the village office.
Originally, Wu Xiaoxie and the others planned to go back, but when they were leaving, Panma Daddy suddenly rushed at them, no, he waved at Wu Xiaoxie alone, and said in Yao, "You come with me."
Of course, Zhang Qixun and the little brother had to follow, but the old man who had not taken two steps stopped, pointed at Zhang Qixun and the little brother and said in Yao, "They can't follow."
Wu Xiaoxie didn't understand, and looked at Agui with a blank expression.
Ah Gui's expression was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "These three bosses are looking for you, they are together."
Father Panma's face turned cold, and he said categorically: "No, if that little ghost wants to know what happened back then, he must come alone, not one more."
"And ......" Daddy Panma looked at the little brother when he said this, and there was a flash of jealousy on his expression, "The two of them are together, and sooner or later they will be killed by each other!"
Zhang Qixun couldn't bear it anymore at all, took a step forward, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and warned in a cold voice in Yao: "If you say this kind of illusory remarks again, I dare not guarantee that your secret buried deep at the bottom of the lake will not be revealed to the world."
As soon as these words came out, Panma was horrified in his heart, and his eyes were staring at Zhang Qixun, as if he wanted to judge from Zhang Qixun's expression whether he really knew something, so he was testing his reaction.
Zhang Qixun had a cold face, his eyes were very oppressive, and he clearly told Panma that he knew something.
Panma's face finally changed greatly, the hand holding the Yao knife on his side tightened, and finally he still cared about the crowd and mixed eyes, suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, and left a sentence of "outdated and not waiting", turned around and left.
Ah Gui and the others looked sluggish and confused, and they didn't understand why this new boss in the city suddenly felt like he had eaten gunpowder, could it be that there was some relationship between him and Panma?
Wu Xiaoxie looked dazed, and he was no longer surprised by Zhang Qixun's ability to speak Yaoyu, and at the same time, he also knew that Zhang Qixun was definitely in a bad mood at the moment, so he hurriedly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Muyu, what's wrong?" What did the old man say, you're so angry."
Zhang Qixun didn't want that sentence to affect their mood, pursed his lips and shook his head.
The little brother frowned, turned his head and asked Agui directly, "What did Panma just say?"
Ah Gui still didn't come back to his senses, and said a little inexplicably when he heard the words: "He said...... Uh, I said that if you and that Boss Wu were still together, sooner or later one would kill the other......
"He's talking nonsense!" Zhang Qixun interrupted Ah Gui's words quickly, and his voice was fast, "Don't take it to heart, let's go back first, I have a way to get him to speak."
The little brother looked at the back of the coiled horse in the distance, and the blue-black tattoo on his shoulder that loomed under the reflection of the sun when he walked, he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes seemed to be a little different from before, but when he looked at it again, he still belonged to the indifferent appearance of the stuffy oil bottle.
Zhang Qixun looked at the little brother's appearance and sighed slightly in his heart, maybe the little brother in the original plot recovered some fragmented memory fragments from this time.
Panma has disappeared, and the other people around him have also dispersed, each returning to his own home, although Wu Xiaoxie wondered why Panma would say such a thing, but he didn't bother much, he was more worried about why Zhang Qixun had such a big reaction.
It seems that this trip to Banai is destined to be bumpy.
"Let's go back too." Wu Xiaoxie patted Zhang Zhu and looked for it.
Zhang Qixun nodded, "Little brother, let's go, I'll explain to you when I go back."
Ah Gui breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that the uncle in this city was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he felt a little scared when the momentum came out at that moment.
The three of them followed Agui to their home, and on the way they met the fat man and Yun Cai who came back from another way, and they laughed a few words, and the stagnant atmosphere eased slightly.
Back on the bamboo building, the fat man poked out the window, and saw that no one came up, so he closed the window, leaving only a crack to observe, and then turned around and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation, why are you all like this, what's wrong?" It's like going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and coming back, and it's disgraced."
Wu Xiaoxie briefly told him about the situation.
When the fat man heard that there was actually a unicorn tattoo, he immediately screamed, "I'm obedient, is this Banai really the little brother's hometown?" Why don't you go out with long tattoos and cow criticism?"
"It's not." Zhang Qixun shook his head and said firmly, "Although Panma's tattoo looks the same as the little brother's, it is actually very different."
Jokes, the tattoos on the head of the dignified Zhang family, how can any cat and dog be compared?
