Volume 1 The Fledgling Three Brothers Chapter 139 Searching for Cattle in the Mountains
"If I do this, what should Mu Mu think of me? We are just friends who meet in Pingshui, and even the time of intersection is only a few days, if I reach out and do this for Mu Mu, Mu Mu will ...... to me"
Thinking of this, Ji Longjun's face turned slightly red. But he shook his head slightly, not wanting to think too much about it.
"Don't say that I still have a big revenge to avenge, as far as I have the ability to do now, what I have to do is more dangerous than the other, and it is not certain how long I can live in the future. Miss Mu Mu is now at the age of helplessness, if she is misunderstood, wouldn't I...... Wouldn't it hurt her?"
Ji Longjun clenched his hands into fists, he stared at his fists and sighed.
"If I am more capable, even if I have the ability of the black and thin man in Qicheng, don't say that I teach Xu Ergou a lesson, it is easy to get rid of that bullshit mayor, let Niu Niu succeed as mayor, and even let the Yin family regain power in Yinjia Town......, what is the difficulty?
Looking at Dongshan, which was already close in front of him, Ji Longjun let out a long sigh:
If they are destined to not be able to change the status quo of Yinjia Town, if they really can't do it, they should be persuaded to move to a place where no one knows them and start over. ”
Ji Longjun climbed the highest peak of Dongshan Mountain in one breath, and stood on the top of the mountain and looked in all directions.
Although the area of Dongshan is a little smaller than that of the mine, the mountain is steeper, and there are even several cliffs hundreds of feet high.
There is no end in sight to the mountains at the north end of Dongshan, and Longjun judged that if he continued to go north, he should be connected to the mine.
Not only is the mountain steep, but the mountains are exceptionally lush with forests, and you can see a sea of forests as far as the eye can see. Mo said that he didn't know where Yin Yuniu was hiding, and even if he knew, it would be extremely difficult to find him out.
"What's the matter, looking for someone in such a big mountain, isn't that tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack?"
Ji Longjun was worried, could it be that he stood on the top of the mountain and shouted loudly?
Ji Longjun estimated the distance of the mountain and dispelled this thought.
"By the way, Mu Mu said that Niu Niu went into the mountains to imitate our brothers and make a living by catching wild beasts. If that's the case, he probably won't bring dry food, right? If it's meat, he'll definitely light a fire. If it's a fire, it's going to smoke......"
Ji Longjun clapped his hands and said with a smile: "How can I be so smart! This is almost the highest peak in the entire Dongshan Mountain, I will stay here and wait, and when Niu Niu is hungry and starts to make a fire, I can find out where he is hiding at a glance!"
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
After waiting for a whole day, when it was completely dark, Ji Longjun didn't see the smoke rising in his expectations.
Ji Longjun picked some dried fruits to barely satisfy his hunger, lay on a big tree, and pondered while eating.
"How can ......I find no cigarettes? Could it be that Niu Niu has already left Dongshan? or is it ...... Niu Niu has already been eaten by some beast?"
Ji Longjun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly gave himself a mouthful:
"No, no, since Niu Niu was able to hide in the mountains for two months after being seriously injured and slowly recovered, it means that he is already a qualified hunter who knows how to hunt and how to protect himself. ”
"Well, take a closer look, and maybe you can see the fire somewhere. I hope Niu Niu can light a bonfire or something when it's cold at night, and give me a signal......"
It's a pity that Ji Longjun climbed to the top of the tree and looked in all directions, except for the bright light visible in Yinjia Town, which was far away, the rest of the place was completely dark.
"That's right!"
Ji Longjun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, clapped his hands and said: "Niu Niu didn't light the fire, maybe he was worried that Xu Ergou and them would find out and track him down, since this is the case, wouldn't it be easier for me to order him and bring him here?"
As soon as he said it, Ji Longjun jumped down from the tree, picked up some dry branches and put them in an open place to ignite them with flint.
The fire burned more and more by the wind, and Ji Longjun felt warm all over his body.
From a distance, there was a dazzling bright spot on the top of the high mountain, where Ji Longjun was waiting for a person to arrive.
But the man didn't come.
Early the next morning.
Ji Longjun tumbled down from the tree and looked at the surrounding peaks again.
"Unless Niu Niu is a vegetarian every day, if he wants to eat meat, he must make a fire. Maybe it happened that Niu Niu didn't make a fire yesterday, and it happened that he didn't see the fire I lit...... But I don't have time to wait any longer, I can't find him today, and I'll have to go down early tomorrow morning. ”
Ji Longjun continued to look for the expected "cooking smoke", and thought at the same time: "Niu Niu, Niu Niu, you hurry up and light the fire for me to see...... Fire...... That's right!"
Ji Longjun's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "As long as the fire was lit in the past, doesn't it mean that there will be soot left?"
Of course, it is not easy to find soot, but with Ji Longjun's many years of survival experience in the mountains, where people have always lived and where there are not, Ji Longjun is confident that he can still see the traces.
Having made up his mind, Ji Longjun roughly deduced a few most suitable places to hide and live on the top of the mountain, and then searched for them one by one from near and far.
At the foot of the mountain, beside the stream, there was no trace.
In the cave halfway up the mountain, there are no traces.
Beneath a boulder, there were a handful of black traces of soot, but the traces were blurred, apparently not recent.
Ji Longjun dragged his tired body, and after a long day of hard trekking, he climbed to a towering cliff near evening. Ji Longjun was almost about to give up, but he found a thick layer of wood ash in a very hidden place behind a boulder on the top of the cliff!
He was overjoyed, and hurriedly rummaged through the ashes with a twig.
The wood ash here is still relatively fresh, at least not soaked in the rain. And judging by the thickness of the wood ash and the degree to which the surrounding stones are burned, it is clear that there have been fires lit here often recently.
"Wouldn't it, Niu Niu doesn't live in so many good places, but he hides on the top of this cliff?"
Ji Longjun threw away the branch and looked around, but did not find Yin Yuniu's figure.
He walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the red sun in the west that was about to fall into the sea of clouds, and listened to the mountain wind whistling in his ears, and couldn't help but feel melancholy.
If you can't find Yin Yuniu tonight, how should you explain to Yin Mu when you go back?
"Whew...... Whew......"
Ji Longjun was stunned for a moment, as if he heard something.
But the mountain wind here is a bit strong, and the wind is whistling in my ears, and the subtle wheezing sound is not audible.
"It seems to be...... What wheezing?" Ji Longjun rolled his eyes, carefully discerning the sound.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Ji Longjun's heart was shocked: "Yes, it's the sound of wheezing! This sound actually came from under the cliff, could it be that something climbed up from below?"
Ji Longjun didn't dare to be careless, he took a few steps back cautiously, wanting to hide behind the boulder. If it's Niu Niu who climbs up, that's naturally the best result.
But climbing up from the bottom of the cliff is more likely to be an adult mountain ape.
He remembered the fight with an adult giant ape in the mountains a few years ago, the giant ape's arm was extremely strong and bit people, and that time it could hurt him not lightly, but fortunately, Yuki didn't come to help in time, otherwise his life would be lost in the hands of the giant ape.
"Let's take a look at what it is. ”
Ji Longjun had just taken a few steps backwards, when suddenly a swarthy paw slapped on the stone edge of the cliff!
The claws are human, but they're too dark. If it's an ape, it's not hairy, it's not big enough.
The next moment, a black shadow let out a low shout, and it jumped up from behind the cliff, and a beautiful front somersault fell onto the cliff!
The black shadow probably didn't expect that there was still a person standing on the cliff, his body flew down in the air, and he landed in front of Ji Longjun impartially, almost face to face with Ji Longjun.
"Mom!"
The black shadow screamed miserably, and its body flew out upside down almost instantly, falling towards the cliff!
"Niu Niu!"
Ji Longjun recognized this person in an instant as Yin Yuniu he was looking for, and couldn't help shouting.
He stretched out his big hand forward, but unfortunately Yin Yuniu was so frightened that his body fell far away, and Ji Longjun didn't catch it!
"Oh, help!"
Yin Yuniu screamed miserably, his body waved wildly in the air, and after all, he didn't catch anything, and fell straight down the cliff!
"Isn't it, I actually killed Niu Niu?"
Ji Longjun was so frightened that the cold hairs on his back stood up, and he hurriedly ran to the edge of the cliff, and looked down the cliff from the edge of the cliff.
Under Ji Longjun's nose, Yin Yuniu was holding a two-finger-thick wild mountain jujube, and his body hung in the air on the almost vertical cliff.
"You...... Who are you?" Yin Yuniu asked in a trembling voice as he looked up at his head poking out from the top of the cliff.
"Silly Niu Niu, I'm Ji Longjun! You don't want to see me, and you can't kill yourself like this!" Ji Longjun smiled bitterly.
Ji Longjun looked down at the bottom of the cliff, it was pitch black below, and there was no bottom in sight, I am afraid that the height of the cliff was more than a hundred zhang.
"Niu Niu, don't talk about it, climb up quickly! After a while, this sour jujube can't withstand your weight and will be broken by you, but it will be miserable!" Ji Longjun shouted lying on the top of the cliff.
"Good...... Okay!"
Yin Yuniu probably recognized Ji Longjun, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly climbed the cliff again.
"Long Jun, is it really you?Oh my God, why are you here, we've been separated for years, right?I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time!" Yin Yuniu said excitedly.
"You still ask me, if it weren't for you, how would I have come to this kind of place?" Ji Longjun said angrily, and then thought that Niu Niu really couldn't be blamed for this, they were all hard-working people.
"Looking for me?, did my sister let you come?" Yin Yuniu was stunned for a moment and said, "My sister is ...... Is she okay?"
"Mu Muren is fine, but his spirit is poor, Niu Niu, you don't have to worry. Ji Longjun looked at Yin Yuniu's dark face and couldn't bear to comfort him.
"Niu Niu, what is your situation, why haven't I seen you like this for two years?Is there soot on your body?" Ji Longjun looked at Yin Yuniu and thought that Yin Mu seemed to be a little sad, and hurriedly changed the topic and said.
"Hey, where is the soot ash, it's all sunburned!"
Yin Yuniu touched his head a little embarrassed and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly reached out and dragged it back, and it turned out to be a big bird with a red beak and black feathers!
"Longjun, are you hungry, I invite you to eat roasted black stork!"
Ji Longjun's face was black: "Niu Niu, my brother, where did you catch the big bird from, the black stork, what kind of bird is the black stork?"
