"In such a big forest, there will definitely be prey, as long as we look carefully and drive them over, what else do you have to worry about?"

Kong Mingde's reprimand suddenly made many people ashamed of themselves, but it did make their hearts lifted.

With the morale problem out of the way, the rest was done, and everyone began to head deeper into the forest.

Two spears and three steel knives were used to bury the pit, and at this moment there were two spears and two steel knives left, which were the only weapons they had, and they were also distributed at this time.

These two spears, one for Yan Xiangdong and one for Kong Mingde, and the remaining two knives were distributed to the strongest among the Kong clan.

But to be honest, these people are of little use with these weapons, because this is the first time in their lives that they have held spears and broadswords.

It's naturally no problem to let the Kong clan dance and write, but it's too difficult for them to fight, kill, and kill.

But at this point, even if they don't understand anything, they have to bite the bullet.

The further you go into this forest, the denser the trees become, and the snow gets deeper and deeper.

This journey is not without harvest, pheasants, hares have also encountered a few, although facing the needs of the whole clan of 300 people may be a drop in the bucket, but also let them lift their spirits, this is hope!

When everyone set out, it was still not long after dawn in the morning, and at this moment, it should be noon.

Kong Mingde looked at the time and couldn't help sighing, but he still beckoned everyone: "After tossing all morning, let's all rest, and also eat some dry food by the way to replenish some physical strength!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately sat down in the snowdrift, regardless of whether it was cold or wet, it was really too tired this morning.

Yan Xiangdong carefully took out a ball of dry food from his arms, and gently skimmed off a piece about the size of half a palm, carefully put it in his mouth, and kept chewing, as if this was the most delicious thing in the world.

If there is no other harvest except for those pheasants and hares today, this amount is his food for a day today.

There is no doubt that you can't eat enough, but you can't starve to death.

Looking at the surrounding Kong clan people, the situation is almost the same.

Suddenly, Yan Xiangdong's heart moved, and he looked up at Kong Mingde, who was leaning against a big tree next to him, in a daze, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Mingde?" Mr. Mingde ......"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Yan Xiangdong shouted several times, and Kong Mingde was in a trance and came to his senses.

"Mr. Mingde, what are you worried about?"

Hearing Yan Xiangdong's inquiry, Kong Mingde couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What else can I worry about?" Naturally worry about today's food ......"

"There are three hundred people in the Kong clan, the old ones are old, the little ones are young, but if one of them dies, it's all my incompetence as the patriarch!"

Yan Xiangdong was silent, but still comforted: "The so-called car must have a road before the mountain, such a big forest, there will definitely be some prey!" ”

Faced with Yan Xiangdong's consolation, Kong Mingde could only nod helplessly.

Kong Mingde also took out his own dry food and was about to take a bite when suddenly, there was a rustling sound in his ears.

"Huh?"

Kong Mingde couldn't help but look for prestige, and just behind him, about thirty steps or so, a black behemoth was digging through the snow and looking down for the weeds and rhizomes in the soil.

"Xiang ...... To the east, look, what is this! ”

Kong Mingde swallowed his saliva fiercely, and couldn't help patting Yan Xiangdong's shoulder, Yan Xiangdong was concentrating on eating dry food, and subconsciously looked in the direction Kong Mingde pointed, and suddenly, he was dumbfounded, and he didn't even know that the dry food in his mouth had fallen.

It was a big black lump, like a small mountain, except for a pair of large, incomparable, curved horns growing on its head.

"This thing...... Seems to be a cow? Bison? ”

Yan Xiangdong looked at it for a long time, and then he was a little uncertain.

Kong Mingde also nodded involuntarily, this thing does look like a cow.

But this cow is too exaggerated!

The length is about a foot, the height is about the chest of an adult, the head and the front half of the body are huge, especially the shoulders, which actually grow a towering hump like a camel!

It's unheard of!

At this moment, Kong Mingde could only sigh, this wild land is really so rare and exotic, Daming's cow, where is it so big!

As he spoke, the people around him also spotted the bison and approached him.

They had eaten meat for a long time, and now they were looking at the bison's eyes that were about to glow green.

"Patriarch, let's do it!"

"Yes, look at the physique of this cow, it looks like it is more than 2,000 catties, even if it saves a little food, it is enough for all of us to eat for three or four days!"

"Not bad! The cow has a docile personality, and hunting this thing is not ready to be caught? ”

Everyone encouraged the patriarch to take them to do it, but Kong Mingde was a little hesitant: "The so-called abnormal things must have demons, this bison and Daming's cow have different shapes and appearances, and their personalities may not be so docile, in case they are murderous......"

I have to say that Kong Mingde guessed the truth correctly by mistake, and the North American bison has no good temper.

But at this moment, it was obvious that the people of the Kong clan couldn't listen to Kong Mingde's advice at all, and they vigorously pushed Kong Mingde to lead them to kill this bison.

Yan Xiangdong also helplessly tugged on Kong Mingde's sleeve: "Mr. Mingde, otherwise let's try it, after all, the opportunity is rare, if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will be able to meet such a prey today, and everyone will be hungry by then!" ”

Yan Xiangdong said very implicitly, but Kong Mingde understood, it was difficult to disobey the will of the public, and now the problem of food and clothing can be called a life-and-death crisis, and everyone has long been unable to hold it.

"Let's try it!"

Seeing that Kong Mingde nodded loosely, everyone was overjoyed and stepped forward one after another.

Soon the buffalo was surrounded by him, but the buffalo seemed to care about nothing, and was still gnawing on the grass stalks by himself.

As for these Kong clan people, they were still aggressive about eating beef at the beginning, but at this moment, when the matter really came to an end, they cowered one by one.

Although everyone thinks it's a cow, it's also terrifying anyway.

Finally, the two Kong Qingzhuang who were holding the knife couldn't help it, the two looked at each other, gritted their teeth, raised the big knife, and slashed at the bison's back.

I don't know if the knife doesn't work, or if the bison's skin is too thick, and after the knife cuts it, the bison is actually fine, and not even a drop of blood is spilled.

The bison is fine, but the bison also feels pain!

Xili Lake was hit twice, and suddenly the bison roared angrily, and without saying a word, he turned around, and directly hit the two boys who cut its corbels!

Rumble!

"Ahh

Only two screams were heard, and the two boys with knives were knocked out and smashed into the snowdrifts.

Kong Mingde's eyes were quick, and without saying a word, he stabbed the spear in his hand into the ribs of the bison.

Howl!

The bison was frightened, let out a low and painful roar, and turned his head to be ruthless at Kong Mingde!

Kong Mingde's reaction was much faster, and he yelled: "Run!" ”

Turning his head, the wolf ran away from the pig!

Kong Mingde's reaction was the fastest, and before the words fell, the person rushed out.

Although Yan Xiangdong was a beat slower, he also ran to the side in a hurry.

The rest of the Kong clan people were in a stupor, it was obvious that they hadn't reacted yet, and by the time they wanted to run, it was too late!

The bison ran away from the culprit and immediately vented his anger on the Kong clansmen around him.

I saw that its body rushed back and forth, and its thick four hooves fell fiercely on the Kong clansmen who had not had time to run, and the huge pair of horns did not know how many clansmen flew up.

For a while, all the Kong clansmen cried and cried for their fathers and mothers, and the few remaining people were also hiding in the snowdrifts at this time, trembling all over, not daring to come out.

At this moment, I don't know how many people regret not listening to the head of the family.

But it's still strange in my heart, it's strange, it's obviously a cow, why is his ambition so big?

Even the wild boars in the old woods are nothing more than that!

The bison finished cleaning up the people around him, his thick nostrils were still wearing rough air, his blood-red eyes determined the target, and he ran away in the direction that Kong Mingde had fled before......

"Whew...... Whoop......"

Kong Mingde bent over, pressed his knees, gasping for breath, his mouth was dry, and the heart in his chest was beating even more.

Scary!

It's scary!

This cow ...... This is obviously a cow, shouldn't all cows be docile?

Why is this cow so vicious?

It's unheard of!

Before Kong Mingde could catch his breath, he heard a rapid breathing sound around him.

Kong Mingde looked at it, and it was Yan Xiangdong.

Yan Xiangdong, seeing the bison going crazy, although he was flustered, he instinctively ran in the direction of Kong Mingde's running, and unexpectedly, the two met here.

Yan Xiangdong did not forget to greet the head of the Southern Confucian family: "Huh...... Mr. Mingde...... Whoosh...... Whoosh...... Unharmed, unharmed? ”

Kong Mingde shook his head while trying to make his breath even: "No ...... Unharmed! ”

After finishing speaking, Kong Mingde's face was silent for a while, and then he burst into tears.

This can scare Yan Xiangdong a lot, where the barbarians are freezing in this cold weather, Kong Mingde is the head of all the Kong clans, and it is also the foundation of everyone's unity.

If he has three longs and two shorts, he is afraid that these three hundred Kong clan people will immediately start civil strife, and then he, a person with a foreign surname, will definitely not end up well.

"Mr. Mingde, but where is the injury?" Yan Xiangdong asked with concern.

Kong Mingde shook his head and waved his hand: "Definitely!" I am not a pain in my body, but a pain in my heart! ”

Yan Xiangdong was stunned, and Kong Mingde continued to cry: "You and I are both disciples of saints, and what we learn is that saints help people in the world and help the world!" ”

"Now he is chased by beasts, wolves run to pigs, and Sven sweeps the floor! Sven sweeps the floor! The study of the saints is about to be destroyed in the hands of our generation! So ......"

"A hundred years from you and me, how will we see the Confucian sages under the Nine Springs? It's better to cover your face with your hair and die here, and you can be considered clean! ”

After that, he was crying again......

Yan Xiangdong next to him was stunned when he heard this, and then the tears of the bean size also fell.

Because he suddenly discovered a terrible thing, from the time he got off the boat, except for last night, when he saw those handbooks that Kong Duan had, most of the time, he was thinking about one thing, that is, how to live, how to fill his stomach, how to keep warm......

Even if I saw the bison today, my first reaction was that I could eat meat, and then I was afraid that if the bison went berserk, what would I do......

Yan Xiangdong thought a lot, but none of it was related to worrying about the country and the people.

When I was still in the Ming Dynasty, although my life was only enough for food and clothing, I would not seek rice every day, but thought about my family and country all day long, and thought about the prosperity of Shengxue!

But since I arrived in Yinzhou, what is the country in the world, what is the national economy and people's livelihood, it seems that I only thought about it when I burned the book last night, and most of the other time, I was thinking about how to live.

It seems that seeing the teachings of the saints, the people of the country and the country have become a distant dream, and in this foreign land, the things of the saints cannot even let themselves live in peace......

The teachings of the saints...... Does it still make sense?

A terrible thought suddenly flashed in Yan Xiangdong's heart......

The idea of questioning a saint has never happened in the past few decades, but it has appeared today, which makes him feel quite frightened.

Howl!

Just when Kong Mingde was in pain and Yan Xiangdong was doubting himself, an angry roar sounded.

The two of them suddenly turned their heads to look, and the huge bison actually chased after them!

For a moment, the two of them only felt that their hairs stood on end, and without saying a word, they picked up the corners of their clothes and ran forward.

At this time, Kong Mingde didn't mention anything about wearing his hair and covering his face, and Yan Xiangdong didn't doubt himself, it was important to sign up first.

It is said that two people can't outrun a North American bison anyway......

But there was a life-and-death crisis, which greatly stimulated the running speed of the two.

The second is that although these two people are flustered, they at least have a little sanity left......

There are some places where people can get by, but the huge body of this bison can't get by no matter what.

The two of them also knew how to use the terrain to run back and forth between the woods to avoid angry bison.

But it's not a way to do this, there are always times when you can't run.

Just when Kong Mingde was desperate, suddenly Yan Xiangdong snorted and said, "Hurry up...... Sink into the pit, run to the pit! ”

Zhou Mingde was overjoyed, how could he forget this stubble?!

Without saying a word, he and Yan Xiangdong led the huge bison in the direction of the pit.

The location where the two of them are actually some distance away from the pit, so when they lead the bison to the pit, it can be regarded as dangerous.

If it weren't for the dense trees in this wood, which limited the speed at which the bison could run, the two men would have died under the hooves of the oxen several times.

The two of them didn't know how long they ran, and finally saw the pit that had been marked before!
