5. A brief lull
Chu Ying and the four of them packed up their things, it turned out that they were not four people in this big snow mountain, but the four of them chased the snow wolf all the way here, if they were not afraid that it would hurt Chen Su's life, they originally planned to capture this snow wolf alive, but at the last moment, Chu Ying still used the Zhenyuan arrow that they had spent a lot of money to save their lives, Chen Su felt quite embarrassed about this, and then Chen Su followed Chu Ying and the others around the giant wood forest, walked for almost half a day, and came to a camp where hunters were stationed, Chu Ying arranged for Chen Su to rest in a corner of the camp first, and he himself was going to take the snow wolf to the elders in the camp to make an errand.
Although this camp is not big, but there are also more than thirty people stationed, all of them are tightly dressed, most of them are carrying bows and arrows behind their backs, and they are in a hurry, it seems that they are very busy, Chen Su sensed slightly, including Chu Ying, there should be four or five people who have reached the late stage of the form and qi realm, and in a small tent in the center of the camp, the people among them have a cultivation close to the soul realm, it seems that this person should be the elder that Chu Ying said.
Chen Su was boredly fiddling with the stem branch that leaned down from a dead tree next to him, and saw Chu Ying walking towards him with a handsome middle-aged man, and when he got closer, the man stared at Chen Su for a long time, and then turned his head to Chu Ying and said: "So careless, I didn't even know what the child's name was, so I brought him back, in case his parents looked for it, wouldn't they want to die in a hurry?"
"Back to Elder's words, this kid ......" Chu Ying glanced at Chen Su, "He said that his father had been killed by the enemy......"
"Huh?" The elder nodded, interrupting Chu Ying's words, and asked Chen Su kindly, "Child, what is your name, how old are you, and where does your family live?"
Chen Su smiled slightly, learning Chu Ying's tone, "Back to Elder's words, my name is Chen Su, I am seventeen years old this year, and I have a ...... family" Chen Su paused, "I don't have a home anymore." ”
"Oh, you're seventeen years old?" the elder pondered for a moment, "so you can learn to survive alone, so let's go down the mountain with us tomorrow and return to the village, if you are willing to stay, I can ask Chu Ying to help you find something to do." ”
"Elder. Chen Su hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help the question in his heart, "I want to ask, what kind of place is this?"
The elder and Chu Ying looked at each other suspiciously, "You don't know what kind of place this is, so how did you get here?"
"I ......" Chen Su knew that even if he told the truth, these people would definitely not believe it, "My father and I were chased all the way here." ”
The elder frowned slightly, obviously seeing that Chen Su was lying, but he didn't want to interrogate too much about this kind of private matter, "This is the edge of the Northern Wilderness. As he spoke, he pointed to the endless snow-capped mountains and said, "Over this snow-capped mountain, the north is the Northern Desolate Beast Domain." ”
Hearing the name of the Northern Desolate Beast Domain, Chen Su's mood was slightly shocked, "Could it be ......" Then he hurriedly asked the elder again: "Elder, what about going south from here?"
"To the south, to the south, fifty miles down the hill is our village. ”
"And what about further south from the village?"
The elder glanced at Chen Su, "Further south is Moji Border City. ”
Hearing the name Moji City, Chen Su finally became excited, he really came back, the other world that Zi Xiaoyao said turned out to be the place where he grew up, Moji City, he was already so close to his hometown, father, Aunt Rou, and the Shen family! Chen Su's eyes condensed slightly, and the aura released in an instant even the elder couldn't help but be at a loss for a moment, but soon Chen Su returned to normal, bowing deeply to the inexplicable elder, "Thank you, Elder." ”
"In that case, you should stay here for now. With that, the elder turned around and walked towards the small tent in the camp, leaving Chu Ying with a smile, "It turns out that your name is Chen Su, if it wasn't for the elder mentioning it, I would have forgotten to ask your name." ”
Chen Su smiled slightly, "Thank you Third Uncle Chu for saving your life, if you hadn't saved me with such a precious True Yuan Arrow, I'm afraid I would have ......."
"Eh!" Chu Ying waved his hand haughtily, "I also said that those things are used, no matter how expensive they are." You can rest here with peace of mind, and then talk about it tomorrow when you get down the mountain. ”
"Hmm. Seeing that Chen Su nodded in agreement, Chu Ying left to be busy with his own affairs. Soon after Chu Ying left, a little boy who looked to be eight or nine years old ran past Chen Su with a smile, but soon he turned back again, his playful little face was full of alertness, he circled around Chen Su, stretched out his little hand and asked, "Who are you?
Chen Su smiled secretly in his heart, "I don't know who I am, it was Third Uncle Chu who brought me here." ”
"I don't know who I am?" muttered the little boy, "and there are people who don't know who they are?
Chen Su shook his head, "They have already left me. ”
"Then it must be that you are disobedient, so they don't want you anymore. The little boy said and walked up to Chen Su, "My name is Chu Zhou, and my father said that I would grow up to be a man in the future, so he was willing to take me out to hunt this time." ”
Chen Su couldn't help but think of the situation when he begged his father to take him into the mountains many times at this age, "Then did you have any harvest from hunting this time?"
Chu Zhou pouted, "Harvest, there is, I shot two hares, but I killed them so cruelly, I think their parents will be sad, but my father said that if we want to survive, we must go up the mountain to hunt, otherwise we will have to starve when we get home, I am not afraid of starvation......" said so much in one breath, Chu Zhou's little face turned a little red, "But Dad said that if I starve, grandma and mother will definitely be sad and can't eat, so ......"
"Huh. Chen Su gently rubbed Chu Zhou's head, "It seems that grandma and mother must love you very much." ”
"Of course. Chu Zhou raised his head proudly, but his nose soon sniffed vigorously in the air, "Wow, it's so fragrant~" After that, he took Chen Su's hand and couldn't wait to find the root of the fragrance, "Big brother, the meal must be ready, let's go eat together." ”
Chen Su was dragged by Chu Zhou to the center of the camp, and at this time, a large cauldron of Sanding had been set up here, and the broth in the pot gurgled and the fragrance wafted in the air, causing people's stomachs to scream. After a while, the hunters gathered in the middle of the camp, just waiting for the meal to be served. After a while, the curtain of the small tent was opened, and the elder walked out of it, he stood next to the three-ding cauldron and said loudly: "Brothers, this time you have followed me Chu Dongming into the mountains to hunt for a long time, and our harvest is quite rich these days, so tonight we will rest here for a night, and tomorrow morning, we will go down the mountain to triumph." ”
The hunters cheered, it seemed that they were already a little homesick, "Elder Dongming, how much can we all share this time?"
Chu Dongming smiled, "This time, it is estimated that it will be enough for each of you for half a year." ”
"Hey, there are so many?" many people shouted happily, "Only following Elder Dongming is the safest every time, and the most things are shared." ”
"Well, it's all a credit to everyone, and it's the result of everyone's concerted efforts. Chu Dongming calmed everyone's feelings, "So before going down the mountain, I asked Uncle Dong'an to stew those extra beast meat for everyone, let's start dinner now, but it's okay, you can only eat meat, but you are not allowed to drink!"
Everyone celebrated, but it was not a big time, Chu Zhou didn't know where to take a big bowl and came to Chen Su and handed it to him, "Big brother, why don't you know how to grab a big bowl after eating meat?"
Chen Su smiled, looked at the bowl in his hand, and asked Chu Zhoudao, "With such a big bowl, can you finish it?"
Chu Zhou smiled mysteriously, "Dad said, only with a big bowl is a man." ”
Chen Su shook his head with a smile, and pulled Chu Zhou to line up at the back of the line, ready to share the three major pots of broth.
"Chu Zhou?" shouted, the little boy hurriedly turned around, and happily ran towards a sturdy man, shouting happily as he ran, "Dad!" Chen Su looked up and saw that the little boy's father was actually one of the two people who cleaned up the snow wolf before, and he also followed the little boy to the man, and arched his hand as he approached, "Uncle." ”
"Well, my name is Chu Bo, Xing Six, if you don't mind, you can call me Sixth Uncle. Chu Bo stretched out his hand to support Chen Su, and said with a smile: "We are all rough people, and we don't know anything delicious, so we will just take a moment." ”
"Uncle Sixth is too polite. Chen Su followed Chu Bo and pulled Chu Zhou to the end of the line, although many people were curious about Chen Su's unfamiliar face, and couldn't help but ask Chu Bo who this person was, why hadn't he seen it before, but after listening to Chu Bo's introduction, most of them comforted Chen Su and asked him not to be sad, and there were even people who were willing to teach Chen Su how to hunt and make a living.
Everyone was munching and having fun, some were telling about the thrills and excitement of their hunting, others gathered together to enjoy the food, time flew by, the sky soon became dark, and after a full meal, the camp gradually became quiet, many people were looking forward to the moment of reunion with their loved ones, and the night finally fell.
Chu Bo and several people had to take on the task of keeping vigil, and Chu Zhou was clamoring to keep vigil with his father, so their sleeping sacs were left to Chen Su, and Chen Su got into the sleeping sacs, which were sewn with a special animal skin, which had an excellent warmth effect, so for so long, Chen Su was the first time to lie down and sleep so peacefully.
Around the middle of the night, Chen Su heard a whistle in his sleeping bag, and at first he thought it was a communication between hunters, and he didn't care, but soon he felt that something was wrong, because from the induction of spiritual power, a powerful aura was gradually approaching.
