Chapter 18: Out of the Forest
With food at the bottom and a lot of strength regained, everyone walked far away in one go, until it was dark and they had reached the outskirts of the forest.
From here, it was about fifty miles until they got out of the forest, and now it was dark, and it was much more dangerous to travel in the forest at night, so the group found a cave to live in, and waited until dawn before continuing on the road.
While resting in the cave, Wang Yong sat down next to Vani and Nuo Sen, and asked in a curious whisper, "Are you junior warriors?"
Varney smiled and said, "You see that?"
Wang Yong nodded and said, "Sort of, is the green light emitted from your body when you killed the black panther be fighting energy?"
Varney replied, "Well, that's vindictiveness, and we're junior warriors indeed. ”
Wang Yong asked with curiosity on his face: "Then why don't you have a professional flag?" Don't you all have your own professional flag when you reach the junior profession?"
Varney shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "That thing is of little use to us, and we have not gone to the Empire's professional guild for assessment, and there will be no professional medals without assessment, that is, our junior warrior status has not been recognized by the Empire." ”
Wang Yong nodded as if he didn't understand, glanced at Regan, who was still unconscious, and said, "Why do you follow Ray and the lord? He's just a baron, I heard that your junior warrior status doesn't seem to be lower than that of a baron, right?"
Because everyone has experienced life and death together, Nuo Sen did not hide it, and said on the side: "Ten of us are orphans, it was the young master's mother who took us in, and also found someone to teach us martial arts. Later, after his wife died of illness, the young master was squeezed out of Luodi Village, and we followed the young master. ”
Wang Yong said with a look of surprise: "The ten of you are all junior warriors?"
Varney shook his head and said, "No, out of our ten brothers, only Merlin and us are junior warriors, and there is also a knight apprentice among the others. ”
Wang Yong asked again without thinking: "Everyone else" Wang Yong just asked halfway, and felt that it was not very good to ask like this, so he didn't continue.
Vani didn't pay much attention to it, and said calmly, "As you think, they're all dead." ”
Wang Yong saw that Vani and Nuosen didn't mind, so he asked, "What about Merlin? Is he also dead? Isn't he also a junior warrior?"
Norsen shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "The junior warriors are also people, and the fighting spirit can't last long, when Merlin blocked more than 20 soldiers alone in order to cover our departure, and finally the fighting spirit was exhausted and was shot to death with a crossbow. ”
After being silent for a long time, Wang Yong frowned and asked, "How long can your fighting spirit last?"
Varni glanced at Wang Yong and said, "If you break out with all your strength, it will last for about three minutes, and if you consume normally, you can last about fifteen to twenty minutes, why are you asking this?"
After hearing this, Wang Yong nodded and said, "It's nothing, I'm just curious." ”
Then he turned to the crowd and said, "You all rest, you have to hurry tomorrow, I will be on duty today, and Kevin will change me in the second half of the night." ”
Kevin said without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll sleep first, and call me when you're sleepy." ”
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Kevin got up to change shifts and asked Wang Yong to rest, the night was very peaceful, nothing happened.
When Wang Yong was woken up, it was already past six o'clock in the morning, and everyone had eaten some leftover barbecue and continued to set off east.
Of course, they didn't eat much breakfast, because they didn't know how many days they could go back, and they had to leave some food, and if they couldn't find anything else before they returned to Liech, they would starve to death.
The group walked cautiously and slowly towards the outside of the forest, because they did not know the situation outside, so everyone observed for a long time every time they walked, and then walked for a while after making sure that there was no danger, for fear of encountering an ambush by the enemy army.
During this time, Ray and the lord woke up twice, because he was weak, he just ate something and then slept again, and saw a large blood stain on his clothes, because he should have shed a lot of blood.
In this way, everyone cautiously walked to the edge of the forest and hid behind a big tree to observe the situation outside.
Outside the forest is a grassland that cannot be seen at a glance, at this time, the wild grass is luxuriant, all grow to a meter high, among them, there are also some vines and flowers, like a carpet of flowers spread on the earth, when there is a breeze blowing, the wild grass is blown up and down by the wind, like the rippling blue waves in the lake, people can't help but want to swim in the water.
Such a beautiful and pleasant scenery also soothed everyone's nervous mood.
Wang Yong turned his head and asked everyone, "Who knows where this is? Is it the territory of our empire?"
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Wang Yong looked at Vani and Nuosen, and asked in surprise, "You don't know either?"
Vani glanced at Wang Yong, pouted and said, "Don't we know it's strange? The young master doesn't like to walk around, we have always been with the young master, and we haven't been to many places, so I don't know where this is normal." Also, don't think of us as knowledgeable, we're actually just a guard, and we don't have anything else to do, it's okay to fight with us, don't count on us for the rest. After saying that, he began to look around with a look of indifference.
Vani and Nuo Sen have cheerful and easy-going personalities, and they have been with Wang Yong for a long time, and their speech is no longer so rigid, revealing the scoundrel appearance in their bones.
Wang Yong gestured his middle finger and said, "Damn, you have destroyed the perfect image of a professional powerhouse in my mind." With that, he ignored the rolls of Vanni and Norson's eyes and continued to observe the grass.
After a long time, Wang Yong made another decision in his heart, so he gathered everyone to his side and whispered: "Let's go north along the grassland, whether this is the territory of our empire or not, as long as we keep going north, we can find our people." Of course, everyone has no opinion, after escaping that night, they all listened to Wang Yong's command.
Seeing that everyone had no different opinions, Wang Yong led the group into the grassland and walked north cautiously.
This grassland is very rich in products, Wang Yong and his party only walked for half a day, and they harvested a lot of prey, and now everyone finally doesn't have to worry about hunger anymore, if it goes on like this, they can eat meat every day, and they are full, Carl and a few of them don't want to leave here a little, which is much better than when they were hooligans in Xinji City.
When it was almost dark, Wang Yong and the others found a big pit with a radius of ten meters and a depth of one meter and five meters, which was crawling with vines, covering the entire pit tightly, if it wasn't for being too shallow to trap those beasts, it was definitely a natural trap here.
This pit was discovered by Lev, who, as he walked, boasted about how he had hunted and how ferocious the beasts he had hunted, and when he was talking about his heroic fight with a python and being entangled by it, he heard Lev scream.
Everyone thought that Lev's dubbing was to increase the rendering power, and they didn't care, but after Lev's scream, there was no movement, and everyone thought it was strange, and looked at the place where Lev had just walked, but found that his person was gone, and everyone hurriedly ran over to check, but saw Lev lying comfortably in the pit, eating the wild fruit on the vine.
Wang Yong laughed and scolded: "I eat alone, and I have no asshole when I give birth to a son." Then, after greeting everyone, he jumped into the pit and began to pick wild fruits to eat.
Lev quibbled while eating: "I didn't call you in a hurry before I came, you came to find it yourself, can you blame me? Also, my son has a lot of parts." When everyone saw that Lev was such a big scoundrel, they were all amused by him, and then jumped into the pit to grab the wild fruit.
When everyone jumped into the pit, they found that the pit was very large, and the twelve of them squatted in it without crowding at all.
Wang Yong saw that the sky was getting dark, so he proposed: "Let's rest here tonight, and how about continuing to rush tomorrow?" Everyone walked for a day, and they were very tired, so naturally no one objected, so everyone took out the leftovers on the road
Grilled meats and wild fruits, start with a hearty dinner.
When it was completely dark, Wang Yong saw that everyone had not slept yet, so he told them a joke, and everyone gathered around Wang Yong, wanting to hear what kind of joke Wang Yong could tell.
Ray and the lord had woken up by this time, lying on the panther's fur, and listened with the same curiosity. Wang Yong: Hey, hey
smiled and said: "Well, there is a butcher surnamed Xuan, and his wife gave birth to a son for him, but because the butcher can't read and write, he can't think of any good name, so he didn't come up with a good name for his son for two days." In the end, he really couldn't help it, and when he saw a dagger that he usually used to kill cattle, he casually named it 'Bull Dagger' (bragging B). ”
Wang Yong turned his head and asked Lev, "How old is your son?"
Lev didn't think much about it, and replied casually: "Five years old, what are you doing?"
Wang Yong let out an "oh", and then said: "Soon, the child is five years old, and one day, the child is playing outside the door.
At this time, a big man with a fierce face happened to pass by, and the big man saw that the child was very attractive, so he walked up to the child, touched the child's head, and asked in a rough voice: "Boy, what's your name?" I'll buy you candy to eat. When the boy saw the fierce appearance of the big man, he was so frightened that he did not dare to speak. The big man asked twice, but the child still didn't answer, and the big man felt that he was being despised by the child, and he said to the child viciously: 'If you don't say anything else, I'll cut off your little cock and plant it in the ground, maybe a lot of little cocks will grow next year.' The boy was really scared now, and replied in a trembling whisper: "Urging the cow dagger", and the big man thought that the child said that he was bragging B, and he was so angry that he grabbed the child's collar and said, "Tell me quickly, if you don't say it, I'll do it." After saying that, really took out the dagger and put it in the child's chick
Chickens there are gestures. The child was so frightened that he cried out and cried out: 'Urge the cow dagger, urge the cow dagger.' The big man saw that the child didn't take himself seriously at all, let alone the fire, and thought to himself, 'Damn, I don't believe that even a child can't be even?' The big man slapped the child a few times, and was about to ask again, when the butcher heard the child crying in the house, he came out to see what was happening, and when he saw someone beating his son, he picked up a wooden stick and wanted to beat the man. Speaking of this, Wang Yong picked up the water bag and drank a few sips of water to moisten his throat, and after seeing everyone laughing and looking at himself with expectant eyes, his vanity was satisfied.
Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, Wang Yong continued: "When the butcher saw the portrait of the big man, he recognized the big man as a bully here, not something he could provoke, but he couldn't just let his son continue to be beaten, so he walked over and pulled the child behind him, and asked the bully, 'What's the matter, what are you doing beating him?' The bully said: 'When I asked him what his name was, he wouldn't tell me, and said that I bragged B, of course I had to beat him, otherwise how would I mix here in the future?' The butcher was surprised and said, 'My son has told you that he is called the Ox Dagger, why do you still beat him?' Do you see that I am a bully, I tell you, don't push me too hard, or I will fight with you.' The bully thought for a moment: 'Bull dagger, braggart B.' Then he laughed and asked the butcher, 'Who gave this name?' and the butcher said angrily, 'What's wrong with me?' and the bully patted the butcher on the shoulder and said, 'Brother, you are so talented.' Then he laughed and left. ”
After everyone heard this, they couldn't stand up with laughter, and Ray and the lord also laughed straight at each other, (the wound hurts).
After laughing, Lev asked curiously: "The kid is called braggart B, what is the butcher's name?"
Wang Yong glanced at Lev and said, "Why do you have so many questions, how do I know what his name is?"
After speaking, Wang Yong said to Lev with a wicked smile: "I have decided that in the future, Lev's nickname will be called Da Blow." ”
Lev wondered, "Why?"
Wang Yong said seriously: "Because you are the only one among us who has a son." After saying that, Wang Yong ran outside with a smile.
After Wang Yong said this, everyone laughed again, and Lev reacted after thinking about it, and threatened loudly: "Damn, my son is not called braggart B, and I am not called bragging, if any of you dare to call it that, I will beat out his big teeth and make him and Ivan become a virtue." When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
