Chapter 2: Into the Mountains
The village is built on a hill, a few dozen meters to the east is a small river, the water of which is crystal clear and meanders into the distance.
There are mountains and rivers, and there are many natural trees, but these trees are comparable to the ironwood of the previous life, and the loss of the axe blade is very serious, and the cutting efficiency is extremely low.
Lin Xing's gaze swept over his own reflection in the river.
Withered grass-like hair, ordinary appearance, not to mention sharp-beaked monkey gills, strange shape, anyway, it has no characteristics, it belongs to the kind that is thrown into the pile, and you can't find it if you are not careful.
The uncle and nephew walked along the river for a while, and then they got into the dense forest, and the second uncle opened the way in front, and the short spear swept away the thorns and dead grass to drive away insects and snakes, while Lin Xing was vigilant in the rear.
The mountain road is difficult, and the further you go, the more so.
Gradually, the trees have covered the sky and the sun, and in the dark dense forest, there is a faint sound of something crawling, and the uncle and nephew do not stop.
The beasts will deliberately avoid the crowd in their range of activities, hoping to get their prey, and they will set traps deeper than they can get off the beaten track.
However, Lin Xing had a question in his heart.
Are the second uncle's ears so sensitive?
From their village to here, a few miles away, the second uncle could hear the howl of a wild boar coming from the depths?
Lin Xing was more cautious in his heart.
At this time, the second uncle stopped, looked around, and stood in a certain direction: "This trap caught a rabbit, but something took it away." ”
"Let's go next."
Lin Xing also shook his head, the trap they set up here can trap the legs of the prey, and it is very useful to deal with some small animals, and at this time, only the bloody half of the rabbit's legs are left on the rope.
The trap was rearranged, and the uncle and nephew went deeper.
The breeze blew and the branches fluttered.
The dense forest that came alive was dazzling, and the ears were filled with the sound of 'rustling', and it was difficult to distinguish other movements.
Hiss!
"Be careful!" Lin Xing suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed the second uncle, and then he saw a spotted python passing in front of his eyes, its fangs flashing with coldness.
Burst!
Lin Xing slashed across the piebald python's mouth, a huge force came, snake blood spurted, and he decisively withdrew the knife and retreated.
The spotted python fell into the pile of dead leaves, curled in pain, and the second uncle who reacted pressed Mang's head with a short spear, and chopped seven inches with an axe.
"Damn!"
The second uncle stared closely at the spotted python that had stopped, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Such a thick spotted python, if you bite it, you can get it!" What a good time this beast has chosen! ”
Lin Xing was also frightened.
This spotted python is as thick as his calf, if the second uncle bites it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The second uncle is a seasoned hunter.
He knew that if he was pecked by an eagle all day long, there would always be a day when he was pecked by an eagle, and he didn't take it too seriously.
Put away the corpse, distinguish the direction, and when the wind stopped, the second uncle took Lin Xing to continue to go deeper.
The uncle and nephew walked about half a mile.
Oh!
After experiencing the spotted python, both of them had their ears pricked up, and at this time, this scream, which can be called an earth-shattering scream, naturally attracted their attention.
Wild boar!
Lin Xing's body suddenly tensed.
"It's the direction of our trap, and it hurts to hear the sound, but why is it so loud?" The second uncle's expression changed greatly.
At this time, his elm head also opened, this place is so far from the village, if an ordinary wild boar had fallen into a trap, he would not have heard that howl last night!
Could it be a youkai?
He remembered some of the legends told by the old people in the village, and he was timid.
The uncle and nephew glanced at each other.
"Or ...... Check it out? ”
Lin Xing saw the second uncle's retreat, but he was a little curious, although he was afraid, his heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratch.
The second uncle also felt very pity, he gritted his teeth: "Go!" ”
The two quickened their pace, walked more than 100 meters, and came to the trap set by the two, only to see a giant wild boar dying on the deep pit wooden thorns.
The boar was gray and black, with sideburns standing upside down, fangs half a foot long, and a very large body, half a man tall lying on the ground, and his eyes glowed red.
Look closely, the wooden thorns in the pit are all submerged into the belly of the wild boar, and some are crushed by the huge force, stabbing out from the side of the wild boar's body, and the miserable white bone stubble can be seen from the trend, which can be described as extremely miserable.
Blood flowed everywhere, and the fishy breath hit him head-on.
"Good guy, it's almost fine!"
Seeing the wild boar in such a miserable state, the second uncle's cowardice was suddenly swept away, and his eyes lit up: "If this black master is brought back to the village, it will be enough for our whole village to eat until next year." ”
Holding a short spear, the second uncle cautiously went down the pit, he took a deep breath, and looked at the round eyes of the wild boar.
"Be careful!"
Lin Xing did not forget to remind: "This black master is so huge, I'm afraid he won't kill him obediently!" ”
"Got it! You kid talks a lot of nonsense. ”
The second uncle didn't care: "What's the matter, a black master, can you still turn the sky upside down?" Stand aside and see how the second uncle turns out of it! ”
The boar seemed to know its fate and struggled to get up, but the thorns pierced deeper, wantonly depriving it of life.
Lin Xing stared at him.
Only then did he see that the wild boar's two extraordinarily thick front legs had several scars of different shades, as if they were caused by a sharp weapon.
Poof!
The second uncle saw the opportunity, the short spear went straight into the boar's eye socket, and stirred it fiercely, and the wild boar let out a short wail, and finally had to be freed.
Seeing that things were going well, both the uncle and nephew breathed a sigh of relief.
The second uncle was actually very nervous in his heart, the red eyes of the wild boar, he had never seen it on other beasts, and he felt furious in his heart.
Lin Xing also went down the pit and took a few closer glances at what the giant wild boar looked like, and was slightly disappointed in his heart.
It's just a big boar.
"I'm going to inform the village."
Lin Xing opened his mouth and said to the second uncle, and after speaking, he climbed out of the pit and followed the road he came from, heading towards the direction of the mountain village.
Not to mention such a large wild boar, even if it is an ordinary boar, or other large prey, after they confirm it, they must notify the rest of the village and quickly transfer the prey out of the village.
In less than half an hour, Lin Xing took a dozen or so idle men in the village, carrying hemp ropes and a few wooden poles with thick calves, back to the pit trap.
"Hey, hey!"
Everyone used hemp rope to cover the carcass of the wild boar, tied it to a wooden pole, and used all the strength to eat milk, so that the carcass of the wild boar got out of the hole and carried it to the village.
The wooden pole was pressed on everyone's shoulders, and even if they were carrying thousands of pounds of wild boar carcasses, they were still as strong as ever.
As the youngest one, Lin Xing's return trip was very easy, following everyone to stop and stop, and helping from time to time.
The only remaining one-eyed boar of the wild boar is dead, and the pig's mouth is grinning, as if laughing silently, in the dim and dense forest, people can't help but feel a chill down their spines.
