Chapter 34: The First Whistle

The northernmost peaks of Qianxia Ridge originally had no names.

But because of several martial arts halls in Cangshui County, every year during the autumn hunt, they will choose a mountain as the path to enter Qianxia Mountain.

Ten years ago, Su Chaodong proposed to name these mountains and set up a stone monument as proof.

As a result, there are Qiuzhi Peak of the Songhe Martial Arts Hall, Leisheng Slope of the Lei family, Swallowing Elephant Peak of the Huang family, Feiwang Peak of the Feiwang Martial Arts Hall and Tianqin Peak of the Liu family.

Then, according to the topography, this group of people also classified the other mountains of Qianxia Ridge into these five ranks.

For example, the peaks directly south of Qiuzhi Peak are called by the names of the second and third peaks of Qiuzhi.

People who practice martial arts are so pragmatic, and they will only be elegant very occasionally.

When the sun rose, the people of the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion had already entered the Qiuzhi Peak.

According to the old rules, in order to improve the efficiency of hunting, the disciples sent by each martial arts hall would be divided into groups of five and searched in all directions.

However, there were only twenty-four people in the Songhe Martial Arts Hall, and after deliberation, it was decided to act in groups of four and divide into six groups.

In the group where Su Hanshan belongs, the other three are Luo Ping, Zuo Xiangyun, and a senior brother Chen Yingjie.

Chen Yingjie has a slender figure, a strong outfit to tie his waist, his long hair is coiled up on the top of his head, tied with a cloth towel, and there is no messy hair on his forehead, which looks very energetic.

It's just that he has a lot of stubble on his chin and wrinkles between his eyebrows, which inevitably adds a little melancholy.

After grouping, he walked at the front, took a long sword, and swept away the weeds and thorns that stood in his way.

Luo Ping's long stick was diagonally behind him, pushing Su Hanshan's wheelchair, not so much pushing as the end, grabbing the back of the chair with both hands, and the wheels basically didn't touch the ground, avoiding bumps.

Zuo Xiangyun walked on the left side of Su Han Mountain, with a long bow and quiver crossed, on his back, and a long knife at his waist.

Among girls of the same age, she is definitely a tall category, about the same height as Su Hanshan, and it doesn't seem cumbersome to bring so many weapons, but is more capable.

"After crossing the first peak, the scope of the search of each disciple will expand, and people from different martial arts halls will have a greater probability of meeting and competing."

Chen Yingjie's voice came, "In the past few years, when our martial arts hall participated in hunting, we have adhered to one principle, that is, try not to have disputes with other martial arts halls, and avoid it if we can. ”

"Therefore, only the first peak of this Qiuzhi Peak is a place where we can search for prey to our heart's content, and we must be careful, and we must not let go of any beast of medium size or more."

Su Hanshan and the three of them are participating in the autumn hunt for the first time this year, and Chen Yingjie is the most experienced one among the twenty-four people.

These four people are put together, and it is also considered.

"But I've heard that the first peak is the place with the fewest big prey."

Luo Ping said, "And Senior Brother Tian said that last year, the people in our martial arts hall basically just stared at the first peak and searched back and forth, can there really be any medium-sized beasts here?" ”

Chen Yingjie turned sideways and explained: "In the depths of the Fulong Mountain Range, there are countless wild beasts, and many fierce beasts will pour into Qianxia Mountain every year. ”

"So, no matter how clean the beasts of the First Peak we hunted last year, there will be other beasts that will notice that this is a borderless land and come to occupy the territory."

After all, martial arts hunting, against squirrels, roe deer, rabbits and the like, is not counted in the battle.

On the periphery of Qianxia Ridge, these small wild animals have not been hunted on a large scale, and they are good granaries for those large beasts in the depths of the mountains.

Zuo Xiangyun raised his head at this time, Qiongbai's nose moved, took off the longbow, drew the arrow in his hand, and ran towards the forest on the side.

She wore a brown suit, cowhide wrist guards, and leather boots with slightly upturned tips, and when she ran, she looked like an elk running wildly, but more agile than a fawn, and the obstacles in the jungle could not hinder her movement at all.

In the blink of an eye, she had already run ten feet away, jumped on the horizontal branch of the big tree, half-squatted, and shot an arrow.

About thirty feet away, a wild boar's howl abruptly stopped.

When Chen Yingjie and the others got there, they saw a muddy field behind the bushes, and there was a big wild boar, with stiff limbs lying there, and a feather arrow was inserted in the pig.

Wild boars have thick skin, and like to roll in the mud, often have a thick layer of mud, many hunters use bows and arrows to deal with wild boars, the effect is not good.

Because if the bow and arrow are weak, it will not hurt the boar at all, but if you ask a strong person to draw the strong bow, you may shoot an arrow directly through the boar's body.

Even if a large beast like a wild boar is shot through, it will not immediately lose its ability to move, but will become more ferocious, running wildly, and the damage is very high.

Zuo Xiangyun's arrow must be the key point, so that the wild boar can be killed on the spot, the muscles lose control, and the corpse is stiff.

"Okay, I'll have a harvest as soon as I enter the mountain."

Chen Yingjie took out a whistle and blew it.

This is a whistle issued by the government, no matter which martial arts hall or which group of people has a harvest, as long as this whistle is blown, the catchers scattered nearby will rush over, transport the large prey, and go back to record it.

The whistle had just sounded, and soon the sound of an eagle crowing came over them.

The falcon domesticated by the county government hovered above, which could not only point out the direction for the falcons to belong, but also inform the other directions of the falcon, and someone had already dealt with it here.

Su Hanshan glanced at the falcon, turned his head and asked, "How do you know that there are wild boars here?" ”

This wild boar didn't make any big noises before, and it was thirty zhang away, and its skill was as profound as Su Hanshan, and it didn't hear anything unusual.

Experienced such as Chen Yingjie did not detect any clues in advance.

"I smell the stench of wild boar."

Zuo Xiangyun only replied and kept silent, but seeing that Su Hanshan was still looking at him, he thought about it and added another sentence.

"My dad loved letting me smell all the goods he carried, so I was able to distinguish a lot of wild things when I was a kid."

Su Hanshan thought secretly: Smelling the smell of wild boars from thirty zhang away, this is a talent, even if a normal person practices since childhood, it is impossible to do it.

He was about to speak, looking at Zuo Xiangyun's now silent appearance, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Su Chaodong and Zuo Longsheng have a good relationship, and Su Hanshan and Zuo Xiangyun also knew each other when they were children.

But because everyone liked to praise Su Hanshan at that time, Zuo Xiangyun looked at him very unpleasantly.

Later, Su Hanshan was paralyzed, Zuo Xiangyun went to visit him, and when Su Hanshan was in a bad mood, he got angry because of some trivial things and scolded Zuo Xiangyun, and the two had little contact.

But Su Hanshan still remembered that this girl used to be very lively.

What has happened in the past few years has not only changed a Su Han Mountain, but also caused harm to those who are disabled.

It should be said that it has brought a heavy blow to everyone related to the Songhe Martial Arts Hall.

Su Hanshan looked at Chen Yingjie, and the relatively thin impression in his mind unconsciously became clear.

Senior Brother Chen, who used to mix with a large group of senior brothers and sisters to play with him and give him small gifts, is by no means the way he looks like he is now.

Su Hanshan has been immersed in his own affairs for the past few years, and he just has a summary understanding of the predicament of the martial arts hall.

It was only now that the joy of his legs healing was completely dispelled by that heaviness.

In the past five years, many small things around him that he didn't want to think about have surfaced in his mind, making him really experience another kind of discomfort.

Several catchers had already arrived to transport the wild boars.

Chen Yingjie came over and said something to a few of them, Su Hanshan snorted, but he didn't actually have that sentence in his mind.

But when a voice that did not belong to the same family rang out, it suddenly pulled him back to reality.

"Haha, that's good!"

Huang Qianli walked out of the woods, "The first whistle was blown so quickly." ”

"Could it be that the reappearance of our great genius has really brought a little good luck to your Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion?"
