Chapter Seventy-Six
This is a promise from Xianlin. The two of them didn't dare to slack off, they bowed down hurriedly, and said respectfully in their mouths: "Yes!" To say that the credit is indeed borne by the two of them, both of them have been hunters, and after being ordered by Xianlin, they have trekked all the way through mountains and rivers, and completed most of the work of exploring the path. But in front of the old man, the two of them still looked like they didn't dare to take credit.
Xian Lin smiled and helped them up. "You two don't have to worry about unloading. It happened to be early in the morning, so walk around with me. After saying that, he walked towards the mouth of the river not far away. Under the spirit, his steps were much lighter.
Blackface and big man hurried to follow.
It's half a day away. After almost walking around the area near the lower reaches of the left bank, I still wanted to take a raft to the right bank. But after all, he is old, and he has walked a long way, and his face is tired. The two who followed persuaded him repeatedly, and he himself did feel that it was difficult to walk, so he could only go home with their support.
For the time being, only one shack stands in the new camp. It was surrounded by rows of wooden stakes, but on top was a thick cloth of flowers. Seeing it in the idle forest, it was difficult to hide his pride, this was the spoils he harvested after driving Quan Hao away. He still hadn't figured out what it was made of, but it was able to do it without leaking. But no matter how novel, hasn't it fallen into his hands?
This only shack is, of course, for the idle forest. He didn't have to be polite, he walked in directly. It was empty for the time being, with only a few boxes except for a hammock that was also a clever one. Xian Lin opened one of them and took out a roll of white paper from it. Such white, such fine paper Xian Lin had never seen before, and even the letterhead of his original proprietor was rougher than it. Slightly stretched and elastic, it smells faintly aromatic. Don't think about it, it must be used for writing. Unfortunately, I searched the man's camp and found not a single brush.
With paper and no pen, Xian Lin had saved up a stomach full of excitement but could not record it, how could he not make him, a self-proclaimed literati, feel a little regretful? He had no choice but to sigh abruptly, and put the paper roll back in its original place. This dilemma will not last long, and there is no brush to make your own. He is already a big man who calls for wind and rain, and he is also the only literate person on the island, and he always has to leave a text that can be consulted for future generations. Otherwise, a hundred years later, how many people still remember him as a bad old man?
After returning to the house, Xianlin's excitement gradually calmed down, and he suddenly felt a sense of tiredness hit him. He was old, and he had traveled a long way on a raft for most of the day, and his body was already in a state of overdraft. As soon as you rest, you can't sleep. He collapsed in the hammock and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was pitch black. He tried to sit up, but frowned painfully at the slightest movement. The adverse consequences caused by excessive exercise were more obvious after rest, and Xian Lin felt that his lower back, legs and feet were sore and painful everywhere. But he struggled out of the hammock and limped out.
He was taken aback by the situation outside. A bonfire was lit on the river beach not far to the left, but there were only a few figures. The large forces that were supposed to arrive did not even have a shadow.
What about people? Xian Lin suddenly became anxious, calculating that the time should have arrived a long time ago. Zhao Blackface and the big man came over and asked, and both said they hadn't heard from them.
He was so angry that he scolded: "This Lihu is really difficult to take on a big responsibility." How many times have I explained it and still made a mess for me. With that, he paced anxiously in front of the house. The black face and the big man were also helpless, and they didn't dare to leave without instructions, so they could only stand and accompany him in a hurry.
After waiting for another half an hour, there was still no news. Xian Lin had a vague premonition in his heart. Just as he wanted to scold the red man who was ineffective again, the black face suddenly reached out and pointed forward. "There!"
Along his arm, there were a few points of light flickering in the sky. These dim spots of light were inconspicuous in the starlight sky, and only a closer look could tell that they were firelight.
It's finally here. All three let out a sigh of relief. But that ease didn't last long. When the firelight approached, Xianlin changed color again, and he didn't even care about the soreness in his body, and rushed over to meet the red man who was in the lead. "What about the people, where are the people? Why are these few?" The team brought by the red man will only be ten if he counts himself, four adults and six children. Two boys were missing, and none of the women were missing.
Lihu also opened his mouth. He still looked at the campfire behind the idle forest, and then he dispelled the luck. He asked rhetorically: "...... them Not there yet?"
"Nonsense! I ask you where you are? Don't tell me you don't need it. Xian Lin raised his foot angrily and kicked him in the thigh.
Knowing that he had made a big mistake, he didn't dare to hide, so he took this kick. After a long time, he replied helplessly: "We...... Got separated......"
"How did you get separated?" Xian Lin didn't give him a chance to breathe, and continued to ask, his beard curling angrily.
Li Hu himself was still confused, and replied astringently: "It's just that in a blink of an eye, everyone is gone." ”
"Oh, why don't you say you're looking for someone when they're gone?"
"I've found it, I've been looking for it all over the mountains. Or it wouldn't have been delayed until so late. The red man replied with a bitter face. He secretly observed Xianlin's expression and tried to defend himself: "They are just lost." Maybe I'll get it back tomorrow. The food is all here, where can they go?"
Hearing him say this, Xian Lin was even more angry. "I don't care where they go, anyway, don't want to be idle. Go back and look for me, and don't come back if you can't find you. ”
Li Hu still wanted to beg, but Xian Lin didn't give him a chance to speak, and shouted: "Get out!" and pointed his finger resolutely behind his back.
Li Hu had no choice but to turn around and slowly rub back in a few steps.
Blasted away a leisurely forest and still had no quenching, and sprinkled the fire on the other three men who came with him. "What do you think you have a credit for? Why are you standing stupidly? Go back to me too. You are the same, if you can't find it, don't come back. ”
The three men had been honestly standing with their heads shrunk in the crowd, not wanting to suffer from the pond fish. You look at me, I look at you, and I know that I can't anger Xianlin anymore at this moment. I had to turn around and walk back, and after a while, I caught up with Lihu.
Until the four of them walked a long way, Xian Lin was still standing there staring. It seems that he will not give up until he can't see it. Without his orders, the six boys who came with him could only stand in place with fear, not daring to move. In the end, the big man who came with him spoke up to comfort. The elder was angry. That's right, the food is there, and they may really be lost. ”
Xian Lin only snorted, and the rise and fall of his chest did not ease in the slightest.
