Chapter 104: Pine Nuts
After Lin An heard this strange sound, his face turned blue and said: "Originally, I thought that it was only us who hunted and hunted, but I didn't expect that there were wild beasts in this mountain forest. It's really vicious. ”
The child pointed to the distance in front and said, "Look, brother, over there." Lin An looked at the child's direction, and saw a white-fronted tiger chasing after a person.
I saw that the tiger jumped high and pounced on this person in an instant. The white-fronted tiger pounced on the fleeing man, pressed him to the ground with his front paws, and then opened his mouth wide and bit at the man. Lin An took advantage of the situation to cover the child's eyes at this time. Then he took the child and walked in the other direction, and said as he went, "Now that we know that there are wild beasts in the jungle, let us look for some sharp weapons as weapons, which may not be of much use, but which can be used as a threat rather than nothing." ”
The two of them found two small straight cedar trees in the middle of a jungle, removed the branches, and could barely use them as sticks in their hands. But the only drawback is that it is a little too thin and easy to break. The two of them walked through the jungle with a stick in front of them.
Lin An's idea was that he would walk through this jungle and climb towards the mountain behind, and there must be no one guarding the back of the mountain, and that might be the only hope for himself and the child to escape. There is a wolf in front and a golden man in the back, but the wolf in front has a chance to escape, and the golden man in the back will not give himself and others a chance to escape.
Just as Lin An was running in the jungle with the child, the child pulled Lin An and motioned for him to stop. Then immediately threw Lin An to the ground. Then he secretly pointed to the front right in the jungle, and then made a small expression. Lin An was frightened into a cold sweat at this time, it turned out that there was a bear wandering there more than a hundred meters in front of them.
Lin An couldn't understand why there were animals like bears and tigers in this place at the same time, but after thinking about it, he could only think that the Jin people deliberately caught them and put them here for fun during hunting.
And the bear didn't seem to notice the two, just wandering around in place. The two of them didn't dare to come out, so they could only hide in the weeds of the jungle and shiver. Finally, slowly the bear left the sight of the two. Lin An secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead at this time, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard behind him, and Lin An understood that this was the Jin Man who had already been dispatched, and his own people had become prey.
Lin An could only reluctantly take the child and continue to run towards the mountain. Although there is still an unknown danger waiting for everyone ahead, it is better than turning around and being shot by a golden man with an arrow. The crowd that had been in a hurry when they first fled, and now the whole jungle fell silent. It seems that the rest of the people have either been eaten by the beasts of the jungle or are getting farther and farther away from their place.
After running for two hours, the two of them were also exhausted. No matter how good Lin An's temperament was, he couldn't help but say at this time: "I don't know how big this hunting ground is, we have been running in it for almost two hours and haven't seen the edge." Along the way, there are either tigers or bears, these golden people are really hateful. ”
At this time, the child stood on a tree and tinkered for a long time, then slowly climbed down, handed a handful of dried fruits in his hand to Lin An and said, "This is the pine nut I just took out from the squirrel's nest in the tree hole." Big brother, you can eat some. ”
Lin An looked at the pine nut with a small paw in the child's hand, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart: "You kid can do it." I even dig up the squirrel's nest. By the way, what's your name?"
The child shook his head and did not speak, thinking that in those days orphans did not even deserve a name.
Lin An walked over to him and said, "Then how about calling you pine nuts?" After speaking, he looked at the pine nuts in the child's hand and said.
The child obviously didn't expect Lin An to give him a name, but when he thought of the name of the thing in front of him, he seemed to be a little resistant, but suddenly smiled happily: "Okay, it's been called pine nuts for a long time." ”
Lin An looked at the strange pine nuts and said, "How can you do this?" Lin An sat on the ground with him, and the two began to peel pine nuts and chat.
Songzi said: "Our children from poor families have nothing to eat when they are young, so we can only think of ways to do it." I used to go down to the river to catch fish, dig birds' nests, etc. When there is water in the river, I will catch a fish for my eldest brother to eat. ”
The two of them were eating and chatting, and they forgot that they were in a dangerous situation at this time.
Although a small handful of pine nuts could not fill their stomachs, it also relieved the two of them, filled their stomachs, and regained some strength. Lin An took the pine nuts and carried the stick on the road, and I don't know if it was the luck of the two of them or because there were no wild beasts on this part of their journey, at least they didn't encounter fierce beasts again.
......
Not far from the periphery, a man who had been chased by a bear ran in the direction he had come. At this moment, I saw the man on the tall horse holding the golden longbow, and quickly drew a sharp arrow from his back, and with a bang, the sharp arrow broke through the air, and an arrow was set on the back of the fleeing man, and it actually passed through the body of this person. Arrows rattled into the ground.
At this time, the people who followed behind this person shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty is good at archery. ”
The wild bear walked slowly to the man's corpse, looked at the motionless corpse, licked it with its paws and tongue, and then shook its head and prepared to leave. But the longbow man did not seem to intend to let the bear go, so he sat down on his horse and bent his bow again to shoot at the bear.
Boom, the arrow broke through the air, but this time the man missed some accuracy, and saw the arrow hit the hind leg of the wild bear. At this moment, the wild bear let out a terrifying roar and dragged one hind leg towards the crowd.
As the guards behind the man were about to step forward to protect him, the man waved his hand to signal the soldiers to step back, and he fired his bow and arrows again. He was not confident in this arrow, and the whole process was like a smooth flow in one go.
The entire arrow turned into a silver light and shot into the huge body of the wild bear in a flash. The man put his bow into the hands of the guard next to him and said, "This beast still has a little strength, what warrior dares to step forward and cut off its leg?"
After speaking, several people behind him expressed their willingness to go, and this person laughed and said, "Hahaha." I have you warriors here, why don't I worry about not getting this world? Tonight in the palace, feast and reward you. ”
Behind him, everyone shouted even more, and they all rode towards the wild bear. Soon the bear was dismembered. And this group of people continued to advance into the deep mountains and jungles.
