Chapter 25: Harvest and Homecoming
"Chase me, he's in front."
In the vast snow forest, Du Qing led his subordinates, staring at the figure in front of him who was leaving quickly.
As the middle-level management of the Qingzhu Gang, his strength is naturally good.
Not only did he practice the green snake stick method that was circulated in the gang, but he also practiced a meridian and cultivated his internal strength.
Although the strength is still not in the rivers and lakes, in the countryside of Nan'an County, there are already a few masters.
On weekdays, under the wielding of a pair of iron rods, one or twenty men with blades in their hands are not their opponents.
It was precisely because of this force that Du Qing dared to catch up directly without any scruples.
'A mere hunter in the mountains, a lowly man like an ant, a bit of brute force at best...... Well, archery is good, but all of this, under my iron rod, will be reduced to powder. ’
Tyrannical thoughts flashed through his mind, and he licked his lips, already a little eager to knock the damn Orion's head with an iron plate.
The scene of brain-splashing at that time must be very beautiful.
"Ahh
Just when Du Qing was thinking about how to torture people after he caught them. In my ears, another scream came.
When he heard the sound, he saw a little brother who was chasing after him, and when he was running through the woods, his feet were empty, and the man sank into the ground and fell into a deep pit.
"Damn it!"
Du Qing scolded secretly and hurriedly went over to check.
When he got closer, he saw that his men were strong, and at this time they fell in the pit, their bodies pierced by more than ten sharpened wooden thorns, and blood flowed out of the wounds on their mouths and noses.
This seriously injured appearance obviously can't survive.
"Help me...... cough ......" Da Zhuang saw his boss coming, a trace of expectation flashed in his painful eyes, and he struggled to raise his arm for help, but only halfway, he smashed it weakly, and the person did not move at all.
When the Qingzhu Gang members surrounding the pit next to them saw this scene, they were all shocked, angry, and afraid.
"Ahh
Seeing that another of his subordinates had died, the anger in Du Qing's heart was as uncontrollable as an outburst, he roared angrily and roared: "I will never let you go, I will never let you go!" ”
shouted twice, his slightly red eyes turned around, Du Qing looked at his subordinates with panicked faces, and his expression was hideous: "Follow me, if you don't catch that kid today, I will never give up!" ”
"Yes!"
The remaining four gangsters responded with a bit of a tremor, and then followed with trepidation.
This trip is destined to make them regret it.
……
The dangers in the mountains are often much more terrifying than people outside the mountains think.
On the next road of pursuit, under the leadership of an excellent hunter, everyone in the Qingzhu Gang had a good understanding of what it means to be dangerous everywhere and death is everywhere.
Traps, poisonous insects, beasts......
On the short four-or five-mile mountain road, Lu Yuan arranged all kinds of hunting methods that he could use for the pursuers behind him according to the planned route.
And under the full hospitality of an excellent hunter, those people of the Qingzhu Gang fell on the road one by one.
In the blink of an eye.
The pursuers behind him were only Du Qing, who came to take the lead, and an ordinary gang.
The people who chased the Qingzhu Gang into the mountains, unconsciously, were already on the way to pursue, and five people fell.
At this time, there were only two people left.
On the way to pursue, in front, Du Qing's expression was already like a demon, and the continuous death of his subordinates had already made the backbone of the Qingzhu Gang almost crazy.
But behind, following the Qingzhu gang, he ran two steps, but he suddenly turned around, and the person had collapsed: "Ah...... I can't stand it anymore, whoever loves to chase after me, I want to go out of the mountain. ”
"Stop, don't run!"
When Du Qing saw that his subordinates dared to escape, he was immediately furious and immediately reprimanded.
But the man didn't listen at all, and still ran desperately towards the outside of the mountain.
"Look for death!"
Seeing this scene, Du Qing, who had already been pursued all the way and had an unbalanced mentality, could no longer hold back the killing intent in his heart, and the last trace of reason collapsed.
He pinched the iron rod in his hand, turned around, crossed several feet in a few steps, raised the stick in his hand, and smashed it into his own head.
Bang.
Like smashing a watermelon, the man's head shattered and splattered on the ground.
"Tsk, that's ruthless."
In the distance, hiding behind a dense forest, Lu Yuan, who was watching this scene through the gap, couldn't help but sigh.
These gangsters are as ruthless as they are to their enemies.
If you don't get close to the other party, the strategy of fighting is right.
Otherwise, if you really let those people come closer, who knows what terrible things these murderous guys will do to themselves.
He is just a weak and helpless hunter, and in the face of these powerful and vicious elements, he can only rely on wits to win.
"But looking at the performance of the leading guy, this person should have also practiced martial arts, and even looked at his appearance of wielding a heavy iron rod without difficulty, he should have also practiced internal strength, I don't know if he has entered the stream?" Lu Yuan frowned.
He only practiced a palm technique and initially penetrated a meridian.
This bit of strength, facing the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, with the strength shown by the other party on the road, is really not necessarily an opponent.
"Looks like we'll have to find a way to consume him a little more."
Thinking like this, Lu Yuan raised his bow and arrow, aiming at Du Qing, who had just smashed his subordinates' heads on the opposite side, and was a little stunned for a while.
The lush jungle is the best shelter for hunters.
Countless trees and grasses gave them the best conditions for releasing cold arrows.
At this time, an arrow was shot, and the silent arrow passed through a distance of more than 100 meters in the blink of an eye, and attacked directly towards Du Qing.
The vigilance from the warrior made him quickly aware of the danger.
When Fang was stunned for a while, he had already deprived the leader of the Qingzhu Gang the best opportunity to dodge.
At this time, he only had time to turn his body sideways and avoid the key point that was locked, but one of the arms on his body was still pierced by an arrow.
The sharp iron-tipped arrow cut through the bone of his left hand and upper arm, and came out of it, instantly causing him to scream in pain. The iron rod he was holding in his hand couldn't hold it in pain and fell down.
The left arm was injured, and he couldn't play his iron rod kung fu anymore, and most of his strength was instantly wasted.
Under the pain, Du Qing instantly woke up from his anger.
He immediately judged that it was impossible for him to catch the abominable Orion again when he was injured at this point.
Even now, he has fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
"Escape, you must escape from this mountain."
After losing a group of his subordinates and being injured himself, Du Qing was already soberly aware that what he had encountered was not an ordinary hunter.
It's a terrible guy who is patient enough, cunning enough, and also strong enough.
In the face of this existence, even he was terrified.
Moment.
Just like his subordinates who had just smashed their heads, Du Qing's body was also desperately running towards the road he came.
In this mountain, I am not familiar with the terrain, and it is really a loss to face those hunters who grew up in the mountains.
He swore that if he could escape, he would definitely tell the gang leader, and let the gang leader take all the gang members, capture all the hunters in the vicinity, and enter the mountains with absolute strength.
When the time comes, find out that sinister and despicable guy, and you must take revenge on yourself.
So stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood.
At this time, Du Qing wants to keep this fire of revenge.
Distance.
Lu Yuan looked at the leader of the Qingzhu Gang who suddenly turned around and fled, and the whole person was stunned, but he quickly reacted that this was the prey trying to escape.
After doing so much foreshadowing and fishing for so long, seeing that the duck was almost ripe, how could he let the other party fly away.
Immediately he no longer hesitated, and with his bow and arrows, he chased after him.
While chasing, he also kept shooting arrows and sneaking attacks.
When there were many people in the Qingzhu Gang before, Lu Yuan was worried about the large number of opponents, and used bows and arrows to sneak attack, although he could quickly clean up the miscellaneous fish, but he would also scare the prey away because of his terrible archery skills.
In that case, with the number of people on the other side, it would be difficult for him to keep all of them.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had been forbearance before, only taking those prey around a lot, and using traps to trap and harm the other party.
In order to clean up the trash fish first.
And by this time, that purpose had been achieved.
Du Qing ran frantically.
How happy he was chasing before, how embarrassed he was running at this time.
But the road to escape, like the road to pursuit, was not all smooth sailing.
Driven behind him, the hunter couldn't see it at all, if it weren't for the cold arrows that came from the dense forest from time to time, he wouldn't have noticed it at all, and there were still people chasing after him.
Lu Yuan enjoyed the pleasure of hunting.
As he had hunted before, he used his arrows to drive away the prey in front of him and guide them to the trap he had arranged.
Finally.
Du Qing, who was running away in embarrassment in front of him, when he stepped on a snow surface, his body instantly lost weightlessness and could fall down directly.
After such a long drive, the prey finally stepped into the prepared trap.
And Lu Yuan, who was chasing in the rear, also grasped this time in an instant.
He took out the arrows from the quiver, brushed them with three arrows, and shot them towards Du Qing.
In the case of losing the balance, the opponent is simply unable to parry.
Three arrows, one pierced his neck, one pierced his chest, and one pierced the indescribable place between the two strands, which was Lu Yuan's salute in return to the other party's previous mad pursuit of him.
The huge pain, and the indescribable sourness, two strong feelings, instantly drowned out the last trace of Du Qing's consciousness.
With a thud on the ground, his body fell into the pit, and the sharpened wooden thorns underneath pierced his body again.
"It's finally over."
Next to the deep pit, Lu Yuan looked at Du Qing, who was impaled by Li below, and often breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been beating wildly, finally slowed down.
Today's life-and-death hunt, although all preparations have been made, it is confirmed that there will be no danger to life.
But for him, it was still an experience that he had never experienced before.
Nervous, exciting, blood-pumping......
A killing impulse that welled up from the bottom of his heart seemed to be stimulated from his own blood.
Let yourself enjoy hunting, enjoy killing.
"No, no, what am I thinking?"
Lu Yuan recalled the emotions just now, and instantly shook his head, and quickly shook his head, discarding this terrible thought: "I am an immortal, immortal. The future life is endless, and there is still a great life to enjoy, how can you immerse yourself in this dangerous fight and kill?
What's so good about fighting with people, if you're not careful, your life will be ruined.
It's that people are dead, and there is nothing left, so what is the benefit? ”
He suppressed this terrible thought, and secretly thought in his heart, it seems that I have hunted too much and killed too many prey during this time, which has affected my emotions.
Well.
In that case, then the rest of this winter, no hunting.
Take advantage of the New Year's holiday, or enjoy the holiday atmosphere and adjust your mentality.
Lu Yuan made arrangements for the next period of time, and the person jumped down from the pit and began the routine operation after the battle, licking the box.
After fumbling around the corpse a few times, he quickly found a large money bag and broke a jade ring from Du Qing's hand before leaving satisfied.
This leader of the Qingzhu Gang is still quite rich.
From that money bag, Lu Yuan took out more than twenty taels of silver, which was already a huge amount of money.
"There are still six corpses of ordinary gang members in the mountain, and they should have a lot of money on them. Sure enough, it was the hunt that made the fastest money. ”
Touching the heavy money bag in his hand, Lu Yuan's mind suddenly drifted again. But in an instant, he came to his senses again: "No, although hunting is good, but for the sake of safety, the identity of Lantau Arrow God still can't be commonly used."
This time it's for money, and it's a last resort.
If you can still be cautious in the future, it is better to be cautious.
As an immortal, safety is the most important thing, and everything else is nothing. ”
Lu Yuan once again secretly admonished in his heart.
……
Half an hour later, with twenty taels of silver newly unearthed from the six corpses, the Lantau Arrow God left the South China Sea boundary, plunged headlong into the vast mountains and seas, and set foot on the way home.
A hunt in the forest, before and after obtaining fifty-three taels of silver, counting the one hundred and thirty taels obtained from selling furs, this trip to the South China Sea, Lu Yuan earned a total of one hundred and eighty-three taels of silver.
Coupled with his original belongings, his savings have exceeded the two hundred taels of silver mark.
With such a family background, there is no need to worry about the needs of the next two years of practice.
"No, on normal days, I can hunt and get meat by myself without having to buy it, which can save some of my consumption. Coupled with the money earned from normal hunting, two hundred taels of silver, it is not a problem to last for five years. ”
Ten days later, with leisurely steps and heavy snow, Lu Yuan walked out of the mountain with a smile on his face.
In the distance, the smoke of Yangmei Town is curling, the fields are plain white, and under the plum trees at the entrance of the street, you can see several children chasing and fighting, and the two old men with white hair next to them are looking at this scene with kind eyes, and their faces are full of happy smiles.
"It's good that the world is peaceful, peaceful and happy."
Lu Yuan sighed with emotion, walked into the town, greeted familiar people on the road, and suddenly heard a burst of firecrackers next to him.
Ask someone, it turns out that Sun Daqian's family, who opened a soy sauce shop on West Street, has added a big fat son and is celebrating.
After a short walk, I finally returned to my home.
The lock on the gate was covered with a layer of snow, and it seemed that the inside of the lock cylinder was still frozen.
It took a little effort to finally open the lock.
Pushing the door in, I looked at the courtyard that had been covered with snow, and my eyes were full of softness.
"I'm back."
In the empty home, Lu Yuan whispered, and the fatigue accumulated for a long time seemed to be swept away with these words.
There was peace in my heart.
