This person who was dressed in bear skin, half muddy, and had a dirty face was naturally Qin Ke.

After separating from Gao Yishui and the others, he went deep into the hinterland of the mountain alone, and attracted two mountain bandits and Lu Ming to chase him alone, and it was already ten days and ten nights at this time.

At the beginning, he also felt that as long as he got rid of Lu Ming and the others within one day, he could leave Funiu Mountain from another direction, find a nearby post station along the avenue under the mountain, and buy a fast enough galloping horse to go to the Mo family to join Gao Yishui and the others.

It's just that he never thought that Lu Ming, who was born in the Great Wall, not only has good mental control, but is also familiar with various classics and is good at tracking.

He escaped for three days, but he couldn't escape the tracking of several people, if it wasn't for Lu Ming's serious injuries, his body really couldn't hold on later, but he was afraid that he was still playing hide and seek with them in the mountains.

Funiu Mountain is not an isolated mountain, its "ox tail" just happened to be connected to other mountains, he ran in a panic for three days and three nights, naturally he had already lost his direction and did not know where he was.

But after all, he is also a country boy, in the past, Daoxiang Village was also in the depths of the mountains, he had a natural affinity for the mountains, so in the next time, he began to distinguish the direction with mushrooms and sunlight in the forest, since he didn't know where the road was, he simply walked along the mountain road to the east, and he could always be closer to the Mo family.

But he walked for nearly seven days, and it was not until this morning that he crossed the last high mountain, and saw a little smoke in the distance, but who knew that it was not a village, but a lonely inn.

The inn is also good.

Qin Ke thought in his heart, these days, he slept in the mountains every day, and he had already had enough of those dry hard or damp mud soil, as well as those mosquitoes and poisonous snakes that plagued him...... However, he discovered another benefit of Xiao Hei - although he was very sleepy, even if he poked him hard, he would not wake up, but once a poisonous snake or poisonous insect approached, he would immediately wake up.

The final result was naturally that Xiao Hei crawled back into his clothes after a full meal, and slept close to his chest.

So in the future, he simply didn't look for those herbs that could repel insects, but found a dry place at random, and used the Bodhisattva to cut off some weeds and spread them on the mud floor, which was his soft bed for the night.

There was only one thing that frustrated him.

The jade pendant that Zhang Fu gave him was broken.

On the red rope that had been worn around his neck, now only the "amulet" made of bone fragments given to him by Ning Xin remained, and the jade pendant became a small piece of broken jade the size of a fingernail, which hung a little miserably from the knot made of red rope.

He knew that it should have been the blow that Lu Ming manipulated the transparent small sword to stab him in the chest, and he heard a crisp cracking sound at that time, but in that urgent situation at that time, he didn't have a chance to check it again, so he could only be glad that he was not pierced through the chest by the transparent small sword.

If you go back, how should you talk to Zhang Fu, Qin Ke scratched his head, licked his chapped lips, and finally decided to solve the current hunger and thirst problem first.

As when he first entered the courtyard gate, as soon as he stepped into the door of the inn, he heard an uproar around him, and he also knew that he was not the same now, not to mention that his clothes had already been stained with mud and water in these days, and he could hardly distinguish the material and color of the original fabric.

During this period, in order to avoid tracking, he also specially pasted some mud on his body, and the mountains that have entered autumn are indeed cold, and the bear skin he wore to keep out the cold at night is still on his body at the moment, and the dead demon bear has a hideous face, and it is no wonder that others are screaming.

It's just that he can't care so much, he sat down at the table with relief, let out a long breath, and said, "Bring me a bowl of water first, I haven't found water on the mountain for two days, and I'm dying of thirst." ”

The proprietress looked at the bear skin he was wearing, thoughtfully, and made an expression towards Chu Gou, Chu Gou understood, and reluctantly went to find a tea bowl and put it in front of Qin Ke, but she was not in a hurry to pour water, and snorted: "Drink water, the water in this store is not cheap." ”

Qin Ke was stunned and said, "Do you need money to drink water?"

Chu Gou thought to himself that it was right, this guy looked so embarrassed, even worse than those barbarians, where would there be money, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course, the water in this store is all mountain spring water transported down from the mountains, and there are only one or two water sources nearby, so why don't you collect money?"

Qin Ke looked around, but the guests around him didn't look at him one by one, deliberately looking away. Qin Ke didn't quite understand what this little second meant, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "In the past few days in the mountains, the money bag has been lost......

Chu Gou was even more unhappy when he heard this, and wanted to leave with the teapot, but a silver light flashed in front of him, and he saw Qin Ke take out a palm-sized silver cake from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "That's all left, is it enough?"

"Enough enough, enough, enough. The proprietress walked over, smiling like a flower, and said, "Don't worry, the tea in this store is very cheap, where can you use so many ......" Speaking of this, she immediately glared at Chu Gou and said, "Pig and dog, look at you who have no eyesight, why don't you hurry up and serve tea to the guest officer, and then go to boil a bucket of bath water for the guest officer later, do you hear?"

"That's all I have. Qin Ke felt a pang of distress when he thought of his bag of money rolling down the mountain stream.

Chu Gou looked at the proprietress and resented in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and poured a big bowl of tea for Qin Ke stupidly, Qin Ke blew for a while, but he still couldn't wait, so he simply asked Chu Gou to scoop a bowl of cold water from the water tank for him, and poured it down with a clatter.

The clear spring water moistened his lungs, and he let out a hearty sigh, and drank one bowl and another bowl, and drank five bowls in a row before stopping.

"I'm afraid it's not a buffalo......" Chu Gou looked at Qin Ke's appearance, and then looked at the hideous bear head on his body, and muttered in his heart, this bear skin looks good, such a big bear has never been seen before.

But not only did he feel that this bear skin was a little peculiar, but even the merchants on the side stood up one after another, and a few bold ones leaned forward, looking up and down at the hideous bear head, and almost couldn't help but want to reach out and caress it: "A dead bear can have such a shiny fur, and these bright eyes ......."

Qin Ke turned his head and looked at the merchant closest to him.

The merchant sensed his gaze, and immediately bowed, looking very respectful: "Dare to be this ...... Uh......" He looked at Qin Ke's messy cheeks, "Brother Ren...... I wonder if I can touch your skin?"

Qin Ke looked at the merchant's two beards, touched his chin, and found that he had also grown some scum, smiled, and said, "If you want to touch it, touch it, I haven't reached the age of a weak crown, and I'm not a good brother." ”

Hearing that he did not refuse, the merchant's eyes suddenly burst into essence, he trembled his hands slightly, slowly stroked the bear skin, and gently felt the dirty, but very soft hair, the original frowning suddenly relaxed.

He stretched out his hand again, pressed it on the bear's skin, knocked it on the bear's head, and finally confirmed the conjecture in his heart: "This ...... Little brother, you can't be the skin of a demon bear, right?"

Chu Gou was full of weirdness on the side, this ugly behemoth, is it a demon bear?

He knew that there was often a rumbling sound in the mountains at night, and the proprietress told him that it was a bear slapping a tree trunk or a fight with a wild boar......

Demon bears, naturally it means that those bears that have turned into demons, there is a lot of aura in Funiu Mountain, and it is not surprising that there are some demon beasts in the deep mountains, Qin Ke also killed some along the way, partly for self-protection, partly for eating, and like this bear was skinned and draped on his body by him, in order to keep out the cold and disguise.

Qin Ke didn't expect that this businessman's eyes were like torches, just by looking at and touching it, he could see that this was a black bear that turned into a demon.

After drinking the water, he felt a lot more comfortable, and said with a smile: "It's right that it should be a demon bear." ”

......The merchants suddenly gasped and looked at each other.

Someone sighed: "It's really a demon bear skin...... I've only seen it once in my life......"

Just now, the merchant asked again, "I don't know this ...... Shaoxia, where did this demon bear skin come from?"

Qin Ke's eyes rolled, and he replied a little strangely: "Of course I hunted from the mountain, I just came down the mountain today." ”

"Hunted?"

"yes. ”

"You're the only one?"

"Of course. Qin Ke replied as a matter of course, he was alone in the mountains, where did he get a helper, if you want to talk about helpers...... He untied the Bodhisattva from his waist and put it on the table, "There is it, this bear, in fact, it is not that powerful. ”
