Chapter 6: The Time of Hunting
The next day, in the tribe of old men of the fireworks.
When everyone woke up, they were refreshed and no longer groggy as before.
The old man of the fireworker bowed to the stone plaque with joy, and then called out to the three young men, wrapped the jade in the cave with animal skins, and prepared to send it to Zhang Shiping.
When they arrived at the tiger's den, they happened to see Zhang Shiping cleaning the tiger's den.
Seeing them coming, Zhang Shiping put down the work in his hand and walked out.
The old man asked the three of them to put the jade on the ground, indicating that it was all for Zhang Shiping.
Zhang Shiping washed and counted it, and there were as many as twenty-seven pieces. And it's all at the level of mutton fat jade. If it had been put on Earth, I am afraid that a bunch of people would have pounced on it long ago.
It's a pity that it's not here, for Zhang Shiping now, these are just a bunch of relatively beautiful stones.
However, Zhang Shiping still accepted it, and he said to the old man who was on fire:
"You only need to give me ten pieces of jade. But since you've brought them all, I won't let you bring them back. So, the three of you, give me your weapons. ”
All three of them were armed with spears. The difference is that the tip of the eagle's spear is stony, while the other two are wooden.
Zhang Shiping wrote sharp small seals on them. This has no practical significance, and what works is the wood and earth qi that Zhang Shiping injected into it.
Manipulating the wood and rustic qi, Zhang Shiping made the three spears stronger and sharper. As for the seal script above, it is just a more distinctive sign for them to see.
Otherwise, they could only see Zhang Shiping casually wiping a handful of spears, and maybe they would still treat Zhang Shiping as a liar.
Holding a wooden spear, he threw it at a nearby tree. The tip of the spear is inserted deep into the trunk of the tree, holding the entire body of the spear to the trunk. Seeing this, Zhang Shiping nodded with satisfaction.
This already has the level of bronze, and in this era, it is definitely a divine weapon.
"Well, that's fine. Stand down, and don't bother me. ”
Zhang Shiping put his hands in his hands and said to the four people.
The young man pulled his spear from the trunk of the tree with great force, stroking the smooth incision, and the joy could not be concealed on his face.
The other two people also came over curiously, and when they saw this penetration, they happily hugged their spears, and almost kissed them.
One of the three sent the old man back, while the eagle and the other went hunting to get food for the tribe.
As he walked along the road, the eagle kept stroking his stone spear, as if thinking about something.
After a while, the eagle, who had hesitated a few times, seemed to have finally made up his mind, stopped and said to his companion.
"Let's go hunt those damn wild boars today. Even the youngest one was enough for the tribe to eat for two days. ”
"You're crazy! There have been so many people who didn't make it before. Now it's just the two of us. ”
Another young man brandished a spear and shouted loudly to the eagle.
"But we didn't have the weapons that Taiyi gave us before. ”
Ying Yi raised his eyebrows, raised the stone spear in his hand, looked at his companion with sparkling eyes, and said.
"We didn't have weapons that were sharp enough to penetrate the boar's thick skin, and we couldn't hurt them. But Taiichi gave us the weapon to do it, like through the trunk of a tree, through the heart of a boar. ”
"But they have six wild boars in their family, and there are only two of us. ”
The eagle saw that his companion was a little shaken, and followed with a hot iron:
"Don't worry, I don't have the idea of sending me to death. Remember, one of them was a little boar who liked to soak in the mud alone. That's what I'm trying to do. ”
"Okay, let's try then. But if there is a situation, you have to flee quickly, you are the strongest warrior in our tribe, there can be no problem!"
The young man was finally moved, gritted his teeth, and said.
"Rest assured, there is absolutely no problem. ”
The eagle smiled lightly, confidently shouldered his stone spear, and strode forward.
The young man's face was slightly melancholy, but with some excitement, and he followed.
They didn't go straight to the boar. Instead, I looked for some berries that wild boars love to eat.
They easily found the boar soaking alone in the mud by the mud where wild boars often came.
Upwind, the eagles smashed the berries and climbed the big tree next to them like monkeys. Carefully hidden among the layers of branches, he held the spear in his hand tightly, and then waited patiently.
The unique aroma of the pulp drifts down the wind to the boar in the mire. Sniffing vigorously, the boar rolled over from the mire and looked around for the source of the aroma.
This wild boar is the second largest of the wild boar family after his parents, and his body is one-third the size of a giant tiger. In this mountain forest in Sanyin, they don't have any natural enemies, even if they met that giant tiger before, relying on their rough skin and thick flesh, he can hold out for a while, waiting for his own family to come to support.
Without thinking about the trap or anything, the boar walked quickly to the place where the eagle had laid down the berries, and chewed on them with a snort, looking very happy.
The corner of the eagle's beak hidden in the tree pulled out a cruel smile, pointed the tip of the spear at the boar's neck, jumped down from the tree, grabbed the stone spear with both hands, and stabbed the boar's neck fiercely. Then let go of your hand and roll sideways.
It is clear that the eagle made the right choice, and the wild boar received a sneak attack, and all he wanted was to turn around. The shaft of the spear struck the tree, and the wooden shaft snapped off, but this also caused the stone tip to inflict more damage on the boar.
At this moment, another young man also jumped from the tree and pierced the spear through the wound in the boar's neck, delivering another fatal blow.
Twice in a row, the fatal wound let out a terrible hiss, and the piercing sound echoed back and forth in the mountains and forests.
The two looked at each other, and the young man caught the boar's gaze head-on, while the eagle deftly leaped from the trunk of the tree on the side and kicked the stone spear that had been broken in half. Let the tip of the spear plunge deeper into the boar's neck again.
At this time, the wild boar was on the verge of death. The eagle and another man skillfully found a tough vine. Firmly tie the mouth and hooves of the wild boar. Then the two men carried the boar and left the place quickly.
When they left for less than a quarter of an hour, the wild boar parents came to this place with the wild boar family. That momentum, like a swarm of tanks on the earth rushing towards people in a crushing posture, no wonder it can become a hegemon in this Yin Shan Shanyin.
Unfortunately, at this time, they had no place to use their strength, so they had to let out angry screams.
The shrill howl of a wild boar came from behind them, and the two eagles were startled at first, then laughed wildly.
"Where should we go now?"
The laughter stopped, and Eagle asked.
"Of course it's going back, where else can I go. ”
The young man asked, puzzled.
"But if we go back like this, the pyrotechnics will definitely teach us a lesson. ”
Eagle shrugged his shoulders and said.
"It's okay, I'm with you, and it's the two of us who are trained. ”
The man opened his mouth, and then held back such a sentence for a long time.
Eagle patted the man on the shoulder, then smiled mysteriously.
"I have a way to avoid the lessons of the pyrotechnics, would you like to try it?"
The eagle asked the man with a hint of bewilderment on his face.
"Don't. What bad ideas do you have? ”
It's a pity that there are only a few people in the tribe, and when you pout your ass, others will know what kind of shit you pulled. The man categorically refused.
With a roll of his eyes, the eagle was unwilling to give up and bewitched again.
"Don't you want to have a title like me?"
This hit the man's soft underbelly, and he asked with a twist:
"Do you have any methods?"
In the tribe, most people have no name or surname. Each other communicates by familiarity. Only those who have special abilities and are recognized by everyone have the title.
The Eagle is the title given to the tribe as the most powerful hunter.
"Then come with me. ”
The eagle smiled happily, then turned his head and marched in the direction of Zhang Shiping's tiger's den.
Seeing the two of them carrying a wild boar and trying to come this way, Zhang Shiping's heart moved. He gave them sharper weapons, with the intention that they would kill the boars and then go over to draw the earth qi and perfect their authority.
Unexpectedly, on the first day, they gave Zhang Shiping a surprise.
The eagle stood in front of Zhang Shiping, lowered his head and said:
"Taiyi. My companion hunted this boar with the weapon you gave him. So we want to repay you with the heart of this wild boar first. ”
After taking a closer look at the appearance of this wild boar, Zhang Shiping asked:
"It seems to be the wild boar from the east. ”
"Well, yes. We were lucky enough to encounter a lone wild boar today. ”
Eagle bowed his head and said.
"We have one more small request, please grant it. ”
He turned around and pointed to the man beside him.
"Warriors in the tribe who have proven their abilities will be awarded the title of Pyrotechnic, but now there is a Tai Yi who is wiser than Pyrotechnic. We want you to give him a title. ”
That's an interesting thing, Zhang Shiping thought.
"It's simple, and I said yes. Since he has proved his bravery and wisdom with the wild boar in front of him, let's call him 'Biao'. In my hometown, '彘' means big wild boar. ”
"Yes, then I'll be called '彘' from now on. ”
The man puffed up his chest and said excitedly.
After speaking, he half-knelt on the ground, ready to use his own wooden spear to dig out the heart of the wild boar and offer it to Zhang Shiping.
Zhang Shiping hurriedly stopped him. He didn't want his dwelling to smell of blood.
"I don't need a boar's heart. ”
Looking at the two people with puzzled faces, Zhang Shiping continued:
"But if you have time, you might be able to do me a little favor. ”
The two looked at each other, and then the eagle replied:
"We don't have anything else right now, you need us to do something. Tai Yi person. ”
"Not a particularly troublesome thing, I need some dry twigs and some special dirt. Well, so be it, you come with me. ”
