Niu Zhuang led the way, Xie Baojun, Wang Qi, and Li Xiaoqing followed, and the three of them walked through the jungle towards the wild dove's nest.

Wang Qi scolded and scolded as he walked: "Damn, Shi Lei, this dog thing, day by day, he seems to have no brains, and he doesn't fit in at all!" Pick up a garlic clove head and say that annoying thing. Open your mouth and shut up in a proper manner, does he regard himself as the general of Zhenbei? I'm so angry that I want to kick him in a tree! ”

Wang Qi usually didn't want to see Shi Lei, and just now Shi Lei said something that made everyone unhappy, so Wang Qi directly scolded him! I didn't have a lot of fun scolding in front of me, and I didn't stop talking all the way after leaving!

Shi Lei, Niu Zhuang, and Li Xiaoqing's family situations are similar, but Niu Zhuang is honest and shrewd, very good at things, and has eyes.

Li Xiaoqing often slapped Xie Baojun and Wang Qi on the horse, was willing to be a junior brother, listened to the instructions, and rushed to do any errand work.

Only Shi Lei, just like his name, has a personality like a stone, taciturn, old-fashioned, and has no eyes and will not slap horses, so not only Wang Qi hates him, Xie Baojun also dislikes him a little in his heart, and even Niu Zhuang and Li Xiaoqing have a bad relationship with him.

At this time, hearing Wang Qi scolding him, Li Xiaoqing hurriedly answered with a smile: "Yes, Brother Qi, this kid Shi Lei is like a stupid nerd who reads books, sometimes he can't talk with his brain!" ”

"Is he just a brain? He doesn't have a brain at all! Wang Qi scolded again!

"Yes, yes, yes! Chigo is right! This Shi Lei has no brains! Li Xiaoqing said busily.

Li Xiaoqing especially likes this feeling, scolding the weak characters with the strong people in the circle, standing with the strong people, as if he himself has become a strong person, and he is one level higher than the weak person!

Niu Zhuang was in front of him and didn't say a word.

His philosophy of life is never to speak ill of people behind his back, you can scold Shi Lei in front of Wang Qi today, will Wang Qi think that you will also scold him in front of Shi Lei tomorrow? In the end, it is better to pretend to be stupid and honest, no one will be too wary of you, and if it is good, I will think about you, and the relationship with you is good!

Xie Baojun has been listening to the side, until Wang Qi scolded everything in his heart, he spoke out refreshedly, pretending to be a good person and persuading: "Okay, Wang Qi, we didn't know Shi Lei on the first day, isn't he like this?" You also dissipate your anger, let's eat ours, don't be like him! ”

Seeing Xie Baojun say this, Li Xiaoqing, who had just scolded Shi Lei with Wang Qi, immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Brother Xie is right, Brother Qi, don't be like him!" It's just good that he doesn't come, and each of us can get a little more! I've heard that wild doves are very tender and delicious, but I've never heard of them before! Brother Qi, you are well-informed, have you ever eaten wild doves? ”

Niu Zhuang in front inadvertently glanced back at Li Xiaoqing, who saw the wind making the rudder, and the disdain in his eyes flashed.

Xie Baojun's face, Wang Qi still has to give, even if he didn't mention Shi Lei's matter again, his voice changed and answered Li Xiaoqing's question: "Of course I have eaten!" The meat of the wild dove is tender, very chewy, and has a special fragrance, which I can't describe, but you will know when you eat it later! Absolutely unforgettable! I just don't know how Niu Zhuang's craftsmanship is, don't be blind to a good wild dove! ”

"Brother Qi, I know it in my heart!" Niu Zhuang turned his head and said with a smile: "This wild dove is delicious even if it is boiled in water, you can rest assured!" ”

"That's just as well!" Wang Qi nodded.

The group talked and laughed and scurried left and right in the jungle, and walked out for a long distance, but they still hadn't reached the place.

Wang Qi was a little impatient and said: "Niu Zhuang, how far do you have to go?" Why is it so biased? ”

"We'll have to go a few hundred meters further!" Niu Zhuang pointed in a direction and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's really a little off, if it's not off, it won't be my turn to find this wild dove nest!" ”

"Why did you come to such a remote place when you had nothing to do?" Li Xiaoqing asked.

"Didn't I twist my left arm two days ago, and it hurt so badly, I thought of picking some iron felt grass, which can reduce swelling and relieve pain, and it is very effective for contusions and bruises! When I was looking for iron felt grass, I accidentally found this wild dove nest. Niu Zhuang explained to a few people.

Xie Baojun looked at Niu Zhuang with some surprise, and said in surprise: "Niu Zhuang, I didn't see it, you still understand medical skills?" He's a barefoot doctor! ”

"Hey, Brother Xie, don't scold me, what kind of medical skill am I? Niu Zhuang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "You are from the city, unlike me, I grew up in the ravines and ravines, and I often bumped into them. In fact, it is to treat small injuries, and they can't be put on the table! ”

"That's already amazing!" Xie Baojun praised sincerely.

Niu Zhuang's previous character in the team has always been down-to-earth and willing to work, and he can do a little bit of work, such as cooking, carpentry, farming, hunting, and fishing... Today, a few people knew that he even knew medicine.

Xie Baojun thought to himself, Niu Zhuang is really a treasure boy, and when he leaves the army in the future, if he can take Niu Zhuang with him, it will also be a good choice!

After a few more people walked out of the distance, Niu Zhuang finally stopped.

"Niu Zhuang, have you arrived?" Li Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Shh Niu Zhuang compared his hand to the front of his mouth and whispered: "Slow down, try not to make a sound, the wild dove nest is in front, let's be careful, don't scare it away!" ”

A few people changed from striding forward just now to tiptoeing, after all, the scouts who had been patrolling the border line for many years were paying attention to concealment at the moment, and they really didn't make any noise.

Cautiously walked out of a distance, and finally saw a big tree, there is a nest made of dead grass and fallen leaves, the nest is mixed in the bushes, you can't see it if you don't look carefully, and there is a bird that looks like a chicken and duck dozing off in the nest at this time, and it is indeed a wild dove!

Niu Zhuang turned around and made a scout gesture to a few people, signaling them to disperse and surround them, being careful not to startle the wild dove and let it run away.

A few people nodded, and walked softly and slowly around the four corners of the wild dove's nest.

Just when several people were about to form a circle, a hearty laughter suddenly sounded in the distance!

"Hahahahaha!"

The laughter was so loud that it exploded in the jungle like thunder on the ground, startling the birds, and startling the doves, which were sleeping, and opened their eyes in an instant!

The wild dove's red and purple eyes instantly met the Niu Zhuang in front of it! At this time, Niu Zhuang had already touched the distance of five or six steps in front of the wild dove's nest, and the wild dove was originally awakened, but at this time, he was even more frightened and erect all over his body, and fluttered violently!

"Quick! Get him! Niu Zhuang let out a low cry and hurriedly strode forward, trying to catch the wild dove.

But now Xie Baojun has a few people, and the nearest distance is seven or eight steps away from the wild dove's nest, and they can't support it at all, so they can only watch the wild dove flutter!

The dove itself can't fly, but he can pounce very high, and in this jungle environment, he can move with the help of one branch after another, and escape very fast!

Niu Zhuang smashed on the top of the wild dove's nest, and by mistake only grabbed a few wild dove feathers, and watched it flutter and land on the branches above!

"No!"

Niu Zhuang called out in pain, but he could only watch the wild dove move from branch to branch, fluttering away.

"! Just a little bit! Wang Qi kicked on the trunk of the tree next to him and scolded angrily.

Li Xiaoqing frowned and said angrily: "Who was it just now, laughing so loudly and scaring all the wild doves away?" ”

Xie Baojun helped Niu Zhuang, who was still lying on the ground, and said with some doubts: "How can there be people in this kind of place?" Who is it? Jianghu people? ”

At this time, the location of several people was no longer in the territory of the Tian Yuan Empire, but it was not in the territory of the Bone Clan, but a buffer zone between the two countries, about a mile or so.

This kind of buffer zone between the two countries does not exist at all in normal times.

Merchants who traded between the two countries would take the main official route.

Hunters and herb pickers usually don't come to this kind of place, and if they go to the territory of the bone clan by mistake, they are likely to suffer misfortune.

Only some people in the rivers and lakes will rely on their skills and skills to take shortcuts, so they occasionally choose to walk around in this mountain forest.

Wang Qi had a little temper at the moment, and he took the lead in the direction where the voice came from just now, and said angrily: "Who do they be? Walk! Check it out and ask them for an explanation! Damn, laughing so loudly, it scared our wild doves away! I'd like to ask them what happened to them, so happy! ”

"Slow down, slow down Brother Qi!" Seeing this, Li Xiaoqing hurriedly grabbed Wang Qi and said worriedly: "Those who dare to be so presumptuous in this kind of place are probably not ordinary people!" If it were our Tianyuan's Jianghu people, it would be just that, and they would give our scouts a little bit of face, and they wouldn't dare to do anything. But if it's someone on the other side of the bone clan, it's dangerous! Brother Qi, don't be impulsive yet! ”

Although several people have martial arts cultivation in their bodies, they are all forging body realms, Xie Baojun and Wang Qi are better, and they have already refined their muscles, and Niu Zhuang and Li Xiaoqing are only refining their bones.

This kind of cultivation is not bad compared to ordinary soldiers in the army, but if it is compared with the Jianghu people, it can only be at the bottom! If you encounter a ruthless stubble, a few people may not even be able to escape!

was reminded by Li Xiaoqing like this, Wang Qi also reacted, this place is not the city where he can usually lose his temper, but the buffer between the two countries, which is very dangerous, and he can't be sure who is on the other side.

But he had already said what he had just said, and if he retreated at this time, he would always feel a little faceless. For a while, Wang Qi was in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Xie Baojun gave him a step down and said loudly: "Let's touch them lightly and see who they are." Not to mention the fact that the wild dove was scared away, as scouts of the Beirong Army, we encountered such suspicious people on the border, and we should also investigate. ”

"Yes, yes, let's slow down and see the situation!" Li Xiaoqing immediately echoed.

Niu Zhuang, who lost the wild dove, was like his own bird flying, looking like he was loveless, and he had no other opinions, only nodded.

So, the group of four people touched in the direction where the laughter had just come from.

As several people approached, the sound of conversation could already be faintly heard.

Niu Zhuang followed behind, originally a little listless, but after hearing the conversation, his expression immediately changed, and he grabbed a few people in front of him, and said in a low voice: "It's the bone clan!" ”

People in this world speak the same language, but people in different places inevitably speak with different accents. Within the territory of the Tian Yuan Empire, there are more than ten accents. If you don't study this, you won't be able to hear where a certain accent is.

But Niu Zhuang's family lives in a ravine on the border, and they have seen many bone tribesmen, and they can hear the bone accent!

Hearing that it was the bone clan, several people seemed to have pressed the pause button, and they stopped in place in unison!

To put it bluntly, the court of the Tian Yuan Empire is overpowering the world, and several people are wearing scout battalion soldiers, and they are not afraid of the characters in the rivers and lakes of the Tian Yuan Empire, because very few people in the rivers and lakes of Tian Yuan dare to do something to the officers and soldiers. Once the official is killed, it will be fully investigated by the imperial court, and once it is found out, it will launch a crazy revenge, and even the family will be implicated!

Therefore, relying on the tiger skin on their bodies, a few people can be tough on the people of Tianyuan Jianghu.

But for the bone clan, a few people have no bottom in their hearts.

Although the Bone Clan was subdued by the Tian Yuan Empire eighteen years ago, and has been worshiping Tian Yuan as the superior country all these years, it is precisely because of this that many people within the Bone Clan are actually very hostile to the Tian Yuan Empire, and even more so those who are already unruly!

If you encounter people in the rivers and lakes of the Bone Clan, I am afraid that not only will you not have any scruples because of the scouts on a few people, but you will have deeper hostility.

"Or... Shall we go back? Li Xiaoqing proposed first.

Hearing this, Wang Qi was a little moved, but he felt a little impatient to agree immediately, so he didn't squeak, but set his eyes on Xie Baojun.

Xie Baojun fell into deep thought, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, and decided: "Slow down and lighten your pace, walk forward again, see who they are, and listen to what they are saying!" ”

"This ......" Li Xiaoqing was stunned, he didn't expect Xie Baojun to choose to continue walking, and he was a little reluctant in his heart. But he knew that he was soft-spoken in the team, so he didn't directly object, but looked at Wang Qi, who also didn't want to move forward.

But before Wang Qi could say anything, he heard Niu Zhuang preemptively say: "I support Brother Xie, this group of people suddenly appeared in the buffer zone between the two countries, which is obviously very suspicious." Let's go any further, and we won't show our faces, just listen to what they say, and there will be no danger. ”

Niu Zhuang's words directly held back what Wang Qi wanted to say.

If he raises objections at this time, won't he seem to be timid and afraid?

Therefore, Wang Qi also agreed: "That's right, let's see what they do, what can they do?" I just wondered why they were laughing so loudly! ”

Since the three of them had to continue to move forward, Li Xiaoqing, who had no say at all in the team, could only sigh lightly and follow hard.
