Chapter 3: Hunting for Curiosities

After Song Zixi left, the two returned to the topic just now, and Wu Yue asked, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Enter the mountain." ”

"Into the mountains?! You are crazy? "Wu Yue really wants to open her head and see what is inside! He glared at Gu Mingzhu: "The year before last, the eldest son of the Ling family went in once, and his legs are still not in a good way, do you want to die!" ”

"Dead?" Gu Mingzhu smiled: "My life is very hard, Lord Yan won't accept it!" ”

"Drive!" Gu Mingzhu carried the bow on his back and slapped the horse's back forward.

"Hey...... What are you waiting for! ”

The two of them walked deeper along the mountain road, and the trees became more and more dense, obscuring the spring sun, and the dappled light and shadow hit the ground, and the cold wind hit, making people shiver.

The two stopped at their horses.

"It's a steep road ahead, we can't ride horses anymore, we have to go in by ourselves." Wu Yue turned over and dismounted, first tied his horse, and then helped Gu Mingzhu tie the horse and gather all the quivers.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the surrounding environment, turned his head, and saw more than a dozen quivers hanging on Wu Yue's body.

Gu Mingzhu wondered, "What are you doing here?"

"O prey, you must not bring all the arrows with you, or what will happen if there are not enough arrows at that time?"

Gu Mingzhu took off all the quivers on Wu Yue's body, and said as he took them: "It doesn't take so much, one barrel for one person is enough."

Wu Yue hurriedly protected the quiver: "What is the purpose of just twenty arrows?"

Gu Mingzhu carried a tube of arrows on his back, and said as he walked: "One tube is enough."

Wu Yue couldn't resist her since she was a child, so she had no choice but to keep up, and asked as she walked, "Mingzhu, what do you want to hunt?"

"I saw a strange thing called three-eyed blue pupils in the book, born in the deep forest with abundant rain, Gusu City has a lot of rain all year round, and there are such strange things here."

"Three-eyed and blue-eyed ......" Wu Yue repeated: "I seem to have heard of ...... somewhere"

In the next second, Wu Yue's pupils shrank: "Do you think it could be the three-eyed blue-pupiled snake with a red body and three eyes that Brother Xiu Rong mentioned before!" ”

"That's it." Gu Mingzhu walked in front, not afraid of the unknown situation ahead.

The deep forest is terrifying, most of them come from the rumors of the people, but no one knows this place better than Gu Mingzhu.

In the previous life, she waded through the mountains alone for Yun Zhao, stayed here for four days, did not close her eyes day and night, and finally found the three-eyed blue-eyed snake, and also accidentally discovered the preference of the three-eyed blue-eyed snake. People in the world often treat things with prejudice, thinking that the three-eyed and blue-eyed blue pupils are snakes, and they will like bloody things, but in fact, this thing is different from ordinary snakes, and the three-eyed and blue-eyed eyes like to eat medicinal materials, so its snake gall bladder has the effect of curing all kinds of poisons.

The two walked for more than half an hour, the weeds gradually submerged the calves, the surroundings were silent, the trees were towering, the streams were murmuring, and it was so beautiful that it seemed to be a still source of the world, but if you listened quietly, you could feel the small movements coming from the depths.

Gradually, the grass was almost up to the waist of the two, Gu Mingzhu could only pick up rocks and walk steeply, and then climbed over a small mountain, Gu Mingzhu was so tired that he gasped, and found a random place to sit down, and said, "Almost come."

Wu Yue has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, his physical strength is excellent, he walked such a long way without blushing and panting, he took advantage of Gu Mingzhu's rest, climbed over the small mountain to observe the surroundings, and in the distance there was a stream that was not above his ankles, and there were several sika deer drinking water by the stream.

The body is not large, and the body of the deer is red, white, yellow and black all the way.

Wu Yue's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly slapped Gu Mingzhu up, and said excitedly: "Come on, come on, it's a five-colored sika deer!"

Gu Mingzhu climbed up and took a look, and sure enough, it was a five-colored sika deer.

Compared with Wu Yue's excitement, Gu Mingzhu was not too surprised, it was not the first time she had seen a five-colored sika deer.

Wu Yue quickly took the arrow and took the bow, Gu Mingzhu didn't expect him to move so fast, it was too late to stop him, and he kicked him to the ground quickly, and the arrow in his hand shot crookedly in the grass not far away.

Wu Yue rolled around on the ground and got up, "What are you doing to kick me?" ”

The two made this move, and the deer was long gone.

Gu Mingzhu squinted at him and said, "What were you going to do just now?"

Wu Yue said: "This deer is worth ten things, what a good opportunity!" ”

Gu Mingzhu leaned on the stones and asked, "How many prey did you hunt last year?" ”

"What did you do about last year?"

"How many?"

"One hundred and fifty-three." Wu Yue replied.

Gu Mingzhu looked at him and said, "Your archery skills are a must-have in Gusu, but you can only hunt more than a hundred, there are five of them, even if one person only hunts a hundred, that is five hundred, what can we do if we shoot a few deer!" If you disturb the woods, good things will not come out. ”

Wu Yue patted his body, fell back to his place, and said, "Then what should we do now?"

Gu Mingzhu took out two sachets from his arms, poked a small opening from the bottom, then inserted the sachet into the arrow, found the empty location of the rock, took the arrow and pulled the bow, the arrows shot out in turn, and nailed them firmly to the bottom of the tree trunk in the distance, and the white powder slowly flowed out along the torn opening.

Wu Yue was curious: "What is it?" ”

"Herbs ground into powder, its favorite taste."

Gu Mingzhu came for the three-eyed blue eyes and snake gall on this trip, so he prepared things early.

The herbs of these two sachets are different, but they are both very precious.

Gu Mingzhu looked around, paying attention to the blind spot of his vision, his gaze fell on a boulder on the west side, and said, "You go over or do I go over?"

Wu Yue got up: "I'll go."

The two of them lay in these two places for more than an hour, their legs were numb, and the deer, wild boar, and white rabbits all appeared several times, not to mention the three-eyed and blue-eyed eyes, and they didn't even see a snake.

Wu Yue waited a little anxiously, his eyes frequently looked at Gu Mingzhu, the small mountains, Gu Mingzhu's body was hidden in the heaven and earth, if he didn't look carefully, he really couldn't notice the person lying down for a while.

"Mingzhu, are you good at this?" Wu Yue asked in a suppressed voice.

"Don't talk." Gu Mingzhu didn't raise his head, calculated the time in his heart, and slowly took off an arrow from his back.

Her serious appearance was a bit bluffing, Wu Yue didn't dare to speak anymore when she saw her move, and waited quietly with her arrow.

In the extreme silence, the sound of insects and birds in my ears is very clear.

The sunlight shone through the leaves, dappled light and shadow on the red body, and a snake the size of a thumb slowly appeared in the sight of the two.

Three-eyed blue eyes are here!

Gu Mingzhu's eyes darkened.

Wu Yue was roaring with excitement in his heart, but the arrow in his hand was still holding steadily.

It's not time yet!

The two glanced at each other, but they didn't make a move in tacit understanding.

When the two of them were holding their breath, a hissing sound came from behind the little snake, and soon a three-eyed blue-eyed snake with thick wrists appeared in front of the two of them, and the medicinal materials in the powder had a fatal attraction to them, and soon the two snakes were exposed to the open ground.

Their eyes seemed to be lit up by firelight.

Now is the time!

Almost at the same moment, two arrows came out of the string, and the arrows carried a strong wind, and they were seven inches in the middle, nailing two snakes, one large and one small, to the ground.

Gu Mingzhu and Wu Yue looked stunned, got up and looked around, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the surroundings were empty.

The two of them got up and stepped forward, and the three-eyed and blue-eyed snake tail on the ground was still shaking wildly and struggling, but the strength could not shake the arrow for half a minute, and they soon swallowed their breath.

The two glanced at each other, looking at the dead three-eyed blue-eyed snake, obviously having hunted strange things, but there was no smile on their faces.

Two people, but three arrows!
