Another night passed, and the mountains were bustling with life as usual, with birds coming out to feed, wild monkeys shuttling through the trees, fish jumping out of the stream, and various plants raising their heads in the morning sun.

Wu Houtian woke up at dawn, lying on the bed thinking about his thoughts, reading novels when he was tired, and substituting himself into that world when he looked at it. With a headache, he went to play the game again, but the game was also absent-minded.

Grandpa went out after eating, and Wu Hou sat alone in the courtyard after eating, stunned.

Grandma took care of the things in the kitchen, came to Wu Hou's side, touched his head and asked, "What do you want?"

Wu Hou replied: "It's nothing, boring, where did grandpa go?"

Grandma sat down on the small bench next to Wu Hou and said, "Yesterday, your Uncle Ge Dan said that he saw a few strange people in the mountains, carrying shotguns, and the momentum was terrifying, and your grandfather was going to go to the mountains with a few of them today." ”

Wu Hou asked: "Someone else hunts." ”

"Perhaps. Grandma said, "Alas, we used to hunt, and if we didn't hunt, we would starve to death." Now that the world has changed, the people have food and clothing, and the government has issued a protection law, prohibiting mountain people from hunting, and telling us to protect wild animals. ”

"Oh. Wu Hou was not interested in any of this.

Grandma saw that Wu Hou was not interested in talking, so she didn't talk, one old and one young, just sat in the courtyard, feeling the cool breeze blowing in the valley.

The three men who had camped not far from the stream last night were awakened by the roar of an engine in the middle of the morning. Their eldest poked his head out of the tent and saw that the fourth child who had gone back to send the golden rooster last night had returned.

"Why did you come back so soon?" the boss climbed out of the tent, and the other two climbed out as well.

The fourth brother replied to the boss with high interest: "Catch the big tiger! I didn't close my eyes all night, so I went back and left the car and ate a bowl of noodles made by my sister-in-law, and then I came again!"

"You're fucking more anxious than I am. The boss laughed and scolded.

The men washed their faces, ate some food, and then put the tent away and put it in their backpacks. After everything was cleaned up, the eldest sat in the driver's seat, discerned the direction, and began to drive towards the mountain with the white tiger with the three younger brothers.

When Guo Xianda found Ge Dan, he had just eaten breakfast and was idle at home, practicing boxing against sandbags.

Ge Dan has a strong physique, has lived in the mountains since he was a child, has a well-developed muscle, and usually loves boxing and fighting, although he has not received professional guidance, but in this mountain, he is also a good hand.

Guo Xianda often said Ge Dan. "You have the look of my youth!"

"Kudzu eggs. Guo Xianda stood outside the door and shouted at him.

"Hey. Ge Dan turned around when he heard the voice, saw Guo Xianda, and said, "Uncle Guo, here." ”

Ge Dan's daughter-in-law also walked out with the child in her arms, and when she saw the old man outside the door, she hurriedly beckoned him to come in and sit.

Guo Xianda waved his hand and said, "Don't go in, Ge Dan, go, go around the mountains." ”

"Good. Ge Dan agreed.

The two walked downhill all the way, chatting about trivial matters along the way, all of which were short things for parents. The mountains and forests are still the same, nothing abnormal, but Ge Dan carefully observes the surroundings all the way.

Walking and walking, Ge Dan couldn't help but ask, "Just the two of us?"

"Aang. What's wrong?" Guo Xianda said strangely.

Ge Dan wanted to speak and stopped, and said worriedly: "It's nothing, it's just not at ease." ”

Guo Xianda rolled his eyes and said, "How many outsiders scared you like this?"

Ge Dan scratched his head and explained: "No, it's just that I went to the township last month and heard from the wildlife protection organization in the township that there is a gang that specializes in reselling wild animals and has wandered into our local area. ”

"Cut, and resell wild animals, and a tiger has to eat them. Guo Xianda said disdainfully.

Ge Dan hesitated for a moment and said, "They have guns." ”

"What's wrong with a gun, I have it too!" Guo Xianda glared.

Ge Dan hesitated again and said, "But we didn't bring it." ”

Guo Xianda was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, it's so coincidental that it's that group." Besides, although the township organization appointed you as a forest ranger to watch the mountains and forests, if you really encounter something, you don't have to risk yourself. ”

"I hope not. Ge Dan was a little uneasy, and then explained to Guo Xianda: "It's not because I'm a forest ranger that I'm so concerned about this kind of thing." It's not because we are all natives of this mountain, the mountains are our home, the things in our house, we can move them ourselves, others can't, this is what Lao Guo taught me before. ”

Guo Xianda smiled heartily and said: "Haha, good, well said, it was Lao Guo I taught you before, well, yes, you remember." ”

Wu Hou was too bored to sit in the yard, so he made an excuse and said that he would go to Li Fuzhang's house to play with his son and catch fish and birds together.

Grandma believed him and agreed, but Wu Hou, who had not gone far away, made a detour and ran towards Pinghuang Mountain, and did not look for his little friend.

Wu Hou couldn't wait for the sun to set, and wanted to go to Duanmu Shenjiu now.

Guo Xianda and Ge Dan, who were patrolling the mountains and forests, walked to a forest, where some broken branches fell to the ground, and there were some intricate footprints on the soil. Ge Dan squatted down and took a closer look, walked forward again, found a few brightly colored feathers, picked up the feathers to distinguish them, and said with certainty: "It's golden chicken feathers, look at the footprints, it should be last night." ”

Guo Xianda frowned and asked, "Is it really the gang you said who resold wild animals?"

Ge Dan stood up, put the feather in his pocket and said, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." As he spoke, he walked forward again, and found the car's wheel prints and intermittent footprints, both pointing in the same direction.

"It shouldn't be that far from that. Kudzu Dan judged.

Guo Xianda raised his chin in that direction and said, "Let's go, go and see." The two men walked forward according to the mark on the ground.

Duanmu Shenjiu on the mountain has nothing to do, and this will be relying on the white tiger to nap. He had just eaten some wild fruits, after all, he hadn't eaten food for a long, long time, and he had been active for so long, he was really hungry, so he picked some wild fruits casually to satisfy his hunger.

But after eating the wild fruit, Duanmu Shenjiu smashed it and smashed his mouth, and he always felt that it was not tasteful, so he ordered Baihu to say: "Go, catch some living things and come back." ”

The white tiger left the top of the mountain very obediently, ready to find some food that he usually used to fill his stomach, and bring it back to his master. In fact, it is nothing more than small animals such as hares, pheasants, and quails. Although the white tiger is huge, with a height of nearly two meters and a length of nearly five meters, it does not eat much, about the same as a normal young man.

On the way up the mountain, Wu Hou saw the white tiger from a distance, which was chasing a few pheasants in the woods. Wu Hou saw it, it also saw Wu Hou, opened his mouth wide towards Wu Hou, made a gentle sound, and looked very cute.

"This big cat, it's quite likable if it's not fierce. Wu Hou thought in his heart.

When Duanmu Shenjiu arrived at the foot of the mountain in Wuhou, he knew that he was coming, his cultivation was unfathomable, and his perception ability was of course more powerful than others, but when Wu Hou started to go up the mountain, his face was always a little unhappy.

So when Wu Hou reached the top of the mountain, Duanmu Shenjiu ignored him. Wu Hou called him: "Master." Duanmu Shenjiu was indifferent. Wu Hou called again, but he was still indifferent. Wu Hou called again, and he simply turned his back to prevent Wu Hou from seeing him.

The young man who was a little strange in his heart didn't know why, why did he have such an attitude towards himself? Could it be because he let me let the sun go down, I didn't listen to him, and came early, so he was angry?

Just as Wu Hou was thinking about this, Duanmu Shenjiu spoke, and he said, "Who are the four people who came to the bottom of the mountain with you?"

The four people who came with me? Who came with me? Did you come with me? I came by myself. Wu Hou replied: "No one, just myself." ”

The displeased Duanmu Shenjiu said in a cold tone, "Little guy, don't lie in front of me, if you are afraid of me and afraid of me, you can speak out boldly." I said I wouldn't hurt you, that is, I wouldn't hurt you, you don't have to bring a few ordinary people to me, you know, just four people, it's not worth my flick of a finger. ”

Listening to Duanmu Shenjiu's words, Wu Hou was confused, and thought, where is this? So he explained: "I didn't lie, I really came by myself, what four people are not enough for you to flick your fingers, where is it?"

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Wu Hou.

Wu Hou said again: "I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of you!" He straightened his chest again as he spoke, and his chin was slightly raised.

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Wu Hou's confident appearance, and was a little uncertain in his heart, and asked: "Who are the four people who jumped out of a strange box at the foot of the mountain, two miles away from you?"

"Four people jumped out of the strange box?" Wu Hou wondered in his heart, completely unable to understand what Duanmu Shenjiu was saying.

"You don't know?" Duanmu Shenjiu leaned forward and asked him as he stared into Wu Hou's eyes.

"I don't know, I don't know. Wu Hou was a little nervous and hurriedly explained.

Duanmu Shenjiu straightened up, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to take a look." With that, he stretched out an arm, clamped Wu Hou to one side, and jumped off the top of the mountain.

The two of them were like birds, quickly passing through the air, Wu Hou only felt that his body was hanging in the air, and he was so frightened that his whole body went weak, and his hands tightly grasped the arm that held him.

Duanmu Shenjiu with Wu Hou, floating on a towering tree, the branches and leaves of the big tree are dense and lush, from the bottom up, it is difficult to find two people standing on the tree.

Duanmu Shenjiu made a silent gesture and motioned for Wu Hou to look down. Wu Hou followed the direction of Duanmu Shen's nine fingers, and through the gap between the leaves, he saw four people, leaning on a car, loading shotguns. After loading, each person took another gun from their backpack and filled it with something resembling a glass tube.

After observing for a while, Wu Hou nervously turned his head to look at Duanmu Shenjiu and shook his head vigorously, meaning that I didn't know them.

Then Duanmu Shenjiu grabbed Wu Hou, and the two of them "flew" away silently, and the trunk of the tree that Duanmu Shenjiu borrowed did not move.

Wu Hou, who returned to the top of the mountain, gasped for breath and was shocked. He was not frightened by the four strangers with guns, but by Duanmu Shenjiu, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, this up, up and down, a distance of several thousand meters.

"Is this light work?" Wu Hou asked with a gasp.

Duanmu Shenjiu said lightly: "Hmm." ”

Wu Hou, who looked adoring, praised: "Awesome!"

Duanmu Shenjiu was noncommittal and changed the subject. He said, "So it seems that you don't know those four people, and you are to blame for the teacher's mistake." As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Wu Hou's shoulder.

Speaking of the four people, Wu Hou said a little worriedly: "They brought hunting rifles, which may be hunting, but the possibility of being bad people cannot be ruled out." ”

"Guns? Duanmu Shenjiu asked.

He, who has been sleeping for thousands of years, certainly doesn't know what a gun is.

Wu Hou remembered that his master was an ancient, so he explained: "It is a weapon, which is very lethal, and a bullet can easily kill a person." ”

"Oh. This didn't scare Duanmu Shenjiu, he continued to ask, "What is that strange box?"

"Strange box?" Wu Hou thought for a moment and said, "You should be talking about the car, which is a means of transportation that can pull people." Something like... It resembles a horse-drawn carriage in ancient times. ”

Duanmu Shenjiu also thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "It seems that there are many things in this world that are unfamiliar to me." ”

Wu Hou smiled: "That's, it's a lot." ”
