Chapter 18: Return to Camp
After tidying up his belongings, Fang Yan pulled out his fine iron sword in his hand, put on his helmet, and continued to hurry towards the southwest in full gear.
Walking cautiously in the mountains and forests, I didn't dare to explore anything along the way, that is, I looked for places where the grass and trees were sparse, and where I was desolate, I went wherever I went, and as for the herbs and demon beasts, I only picked up the places where there was no danger, and I only looked for those weak demon beasts, and they were all hidden to meet the enemy, sneak attack the past, and kill with one blow.
Even so, at the end of the day, there was a lot of harvest, more than ten medicinal herbs, killing a little deer demon, and two were not even demon beasts, it was also a shameful sneak attack. Anyway, now the dialect doesn't care how much he gains, he just wants to escape from this mountain, and the longer he is here, the more opportunities he has to be in danger.
It was almost dusk, and Fang Yan began to look for a place to stay overnight, and after walking for a while, in the middle of a cliff, there was a cave-like opening, and there were a few small trees and weeds growing on the side of the cave. Fang Yan thrust his sword back and climbed up a long vine.
The opening of this cave is not deep, the top is open, and the perennial erosion of the water has turned it into a semicircular opening with a wide bottom. Fang Yan found a place inside, cleaned up the dirt accumulated on the surface, leveled the ground, climbed down to find a lot of dry wood and hay, lit a fire, and then set up a cover.
Finally ate something decent in the evening, and Fang Yan slept comfortably.
Early the next morning, the dialect began to rush again. Two hours later, Fang Yan came to a forest, and suddenly a small tree was cut down by a knife on the side of the road, and the cut on it was very fresh, and Fang Yan's whole body suddenly shook. This must be the demon hunting team here, the direction is right, there must not be too powerful demon beasts nearby, and besides, they have advanced to perfection, and ordinary demon beasts should be able to deal with it.
Following the traces left by the team in front, Fang Yan sped up his speed, and he didn't see any demon beasts along the way, and he was probably frightened away by the demon hunting team a few days ago. Hurried all the way, and when I chased it until sunset, there was no one.
"The hunt is over, and the people are gone. Fang Yan felt a little bitter in his heart, but it was much more comfortable to follow the team, so he didn't care about anything.
It was getting dark, and Fang Yan was looking for a place to stay overnight, when he suddenly saw a fire in the distance. Fang Yan's heart was mixed at this time, and he didn't know who was camping there, but he was sure that he was getting closer and closer to the camp he had returned.
Fang Yan thought about it, checked himself again, and hid all the good things, especially the two kinds of fruits, Fang Yan thought that they should be good things, but they could not be exposed by others.
There was an omission, Fang Yan deliberately strode over, came to the front, and asked politely to the few people sitting around the fire, "Dare to ask a few brothers, but the autumn hunting team?"
"Huh, who are you, coming here alone so late?" a man in his twenties, sitting on the outside, walked with a puzzled face.
Fang Yan's eyes shrank suddenly, and several of his people had a golden embroidery on their cuffs, as if they had seen it somewhere. Quickly covered up, saluted a few people, and said: "In the following words, it is the disciple of the Fang family in Yannan City who participated in the autumn hunt, and he was separated from the team and ended up here. ”
"I see, it's the autumn hunting disciple of the Yannan family, just come in and sit down. I'm from the Jin family, little brother has heard of it, right?" a middle-aged man with a forty-year-old appearance stood up and said, his face was elegant and kind.
A few people next to him heard that it was from the Fang family, and when they saw that he was covered in stains and had nothing decent on his body, they all looked disdainful and ignored him.
"It turned out to be the Jin family of the four major families, and the younger brother is like thunder, so thank you very much. ”
"You're welcome, just sit down by the fire. Only the middle-aged man greeted him, and several people chatted again, and no one cared about him.
Fang Yan sat down and listened to their conversation. It turned out that the middle-aged man was a monk and the leader of this team, and their team did not have a good harvest, so they wanted to find more herbs along the way when they returned, and this delay was a day slower than the others, and they would return quickly tomorrow.
Hearing this, he settled down and sat by the fire with his eyes closed. It's all some boring topics, and each family is almost the same, it's nothing more than demon hunting and cultivation, and the parents are short. Fang Yan found a place in the outer place, laid some hay and went to sleep.
Slowly, a few people fell asleep deeply, leaving the two disciples on duty chatting with each other. The dialect was not familiar with them, and they did not dare to fall asleep, so they quietly pretended to sleep, thinking about their own affairs.
"Have you heard, Elder Nine, that is, Elder Jin Yue, who was killed not long ago?" Hearing this, Fang Yan's ears pricked up and he listened carefully.
"Whoever kills dares to kill the elders of my Jin family. ”
"Who knows, I listened to Steward Cui of Dongfu, it seems that he was fighting with people and was killed by the Yanshui River. The head of the Dongfu family was furious, and strictly ordered the people below to find clues and find the real culprit, the elder of my Jin family can't die in vain. ”
"That's it, is it still my Jin family is a small family, I can kill him if I want to, and I blinded him. ”
The rest of the words are how majestic the Jin family is, and how to investigate Yunyun in this matter. Fang Yan laughed secretly in his heart, he remembered the whole process vividly, but he couldn't say it and make it public, in that case, he was afraid that the Jin family would be the first to kill him. That Jin Yue killed people and grabbed treasures, and was killed by others, and when the family found out, what face was publicized everywhere.
"When you go back, you must hide those things well, and you must not show any traces. Once again, the tongue was secretly alerting to himself.
Maybe the dialect is sour, or maybe it's honest, no one embarrasses him, and no one cares about him. In this way, Fang Yan got up in the morning and walked all the way to the present, just following behind this team, and encountered medicinal herbs on the way, Fang Yan pretended to covet it, but he didn't move, and he also worked hard when he encountered a demon beast. Gradually, although everyone still looked down on him a little, seeing that he knew how to advance and retreat, and really worked hard, no one looked at him unpleasantly.
said that they wanted to speed up, but these people were still greedy for herbs and demon beasts, and the speed was still unhurried, and the leading monk did not urge, and the dialect was eager to go alone, but he didn't know the way.
dragged on all the way, and when it was almost dark, the team magically came to the camp where they set off, and they couldn't help but sigh to themselves.
After Fang Yan thanked him, he hurried back to the Fang family's camp. It's still in that place, but when I ran in, I didn't hear a sound, and it was dead silent. Fang Yan was most worried about his father now, and ran to Fang Tong's tent to sit upright in the tent, his face full of sadness.
"Father, I'm back!"
I saw Fang Tong's eyes widen, stunned, and suddenly shouted, holding the dialect and constantly asking this and that, so that the dialect couldn't interject. Later, it turned out that he had advanced again, and it was another series of inquiries.
Hearing the safe return of the dialect outside, many people came to Li Fang was also among them, and the dialect was also very happy. After a while, the crowd dispersed, Fang Tong wiped the corners of his eyes, and asked carefully about Fang Yan's affairs in the past few days, Fang Yan did not hide it, and said 1510. After hearing this, Fang Tong's face turned pale, and he cursed viciously.
It turned out that Fang Ye was rescued yesterday and is now recuperating in Fang Kun's tent. The sequelae of the Qi and Blood Pill were very severe, almost all the meridians in the body were bursting, if it weren't for Fang Kun sending someone to find it and carry it back, it would be certain death, now Fang Kun was protecting the dantian with mana for him in the tent, and also fed him a few expensive pills. When he came back, as soon as he saw Fang Tong, he said how he helped Fang Yan to resist the wolves together, and later they were all besieged, he was forced to take Qi and Blood Pill and escaped.
But it turned out that this thief was deliberately framing Fang Yan, and even took the risk to attract wolves, and finally devoured the Qi and Blood Pill to escape, how much hatred should this be! Fang Yan never took the initiative to harm others, and that competition was also forced to come to power, but that Fang Ye was so mad, he was really a complete villain.
Fang Tong gradually calmed down and thought carefully about how to deal with this matter. After a long time, Fang Tong sighed, and said with a sad face: "This matter is very tricky and very difficult to do, at that time, there were only the two of you, and each of you held a word, the dog thief would definitely not admit it, and he would bite back." Besides, Fang Kun and the patriarch will also stand on his side, just afraid that if they fight the snake, they will not die, but they will suffer from it. Yan'er, you must take a long-term view of this matter, and you must be careful in doing it. ”
"Well, that's what the kid thinks, too. The father can rest assured that the child knows what to do, and justice will be sought in the future. Fang Yan said with a calm face. Fang Tongyan nodded after a while.
The tongue asked the others again. It turned out that the Fang family suffered heavy losses this time, more than a dozen people were missing, and the rest were almost all injured. Fang Chengyi was also seriously injured, and it was Li Fang who risked his life to carry him back alive.
Other families also had casualties, although they were not as serious as the Fang family, but the casualty rate of this year's autumn hunting was not seen in hundreds of years, and everyone speculated that something must have happened in the Guardian Mountain, otherwise how could this be. And the autumn hunting is almost always on the edge of the mountain range, I have been to these places in previous years, there are no records of so many demon beasts, this time there was such a big accident, and people were panicked for a while.
After going back and forth, the monks would reply to their clans, and the families would probably investigate the matter carefully.
