It was the first time that Niu Er had left Caoxu Town so far, and in the ranks of the convoy, he and Zhao Kuo were in the back position. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to the horses pulling the cart in the convoy, only Zhao Gao, the leader of the team, rode on the horse, patrolling back and forth in front of the convoy, and even Zhao Hao, who had always been arrogant, dragged his heavy steps, leaving only a tired look on his face.

Seeing that the sun was gradually setting in the west, the mountain pass into the mountain was already faintly visible, but it was obviously impossible to reach it before dark.

As the team leader, Zhao Gao has been taking the team to and from Guanshan County for three consecutive years, and the arrangement of the team's itinerary has already been arranged. It is necessary to set up camp before dark, otherwise there is no guarantee of safety in the wilderness.

Soon the convoy came to a small hill on the side of the road, near which there was a naturally recessed mountain wall, and the blackened marks left on the mountain wall indicated that this was the place where the convoy rested, and what was more satisfying was that there was a spring nearby.

With the help of the recessed topography of the mountain wall, it is only necessary to enclose the cart into a semi-ring, with people and horses inside and vehicles outside, and it becomes a simple camp prototype.

The old man of the convoy had already settled the carriage and horses, and the firewood and grass found nearby were set up in the middle of the camp, and Zhao Gao arranged to distribute the dry food carried by the convoy to everyone.

After everyone roasted the dry food and ate a few bites in the mountain spring, except for the person in charge of the night, everyone else fell asleep one after another, accumulating physical strength for tomorrow's trip.

Niu Er was arranged to be the first shift on duty at night, and after gnawing on dry food, he climbed on the roof of the cart with a spear, and carefully observed the surrounding situation by the light of the stars in the sky and the fire in the camp.

The night passed quickly, and when Zhao Kuo was woken up, the dazzling morning light made the mountains on the horizon look extraordinarily tall, and it seemed that he was going to enter the mountains today, Zhao Kuo thought secretly.

Under the command of the team leader, the convoy quickly sorted out the carriages and horses and headed in the direction of the mountain pass, and Niu Er, who was obviously sleep-deprived, opened his reddened eyes and tried to keep up with the pace of the convoy, still biting dry food in his mouth.

The closer he got to the mountain pass, the more nervous Zhao Kuo's mood became, and what he had heard in the clan in the past was that the various dangers encountered by the family convoy passing through the Tiandu Mountain Range emerged from his memory.

The convoy trips three times a year, there are more or less casualties, for Zhao Kuo, who is accustomed to the peaceful life of Caoxu Town, this time he was assigned to the convoy, it is simply risking his own life.

Isn't it just that he failed to attack the Qian family's pharmacy? But for the sake of the family, because of the small pharmacy with only the old man Qian and a young man, the clan not only deprived himself of his position in the medical center, but also sent himself to the convoy.

I really don't understand how the clan can be so indulgent to the Qian family pharmacy, Caoxu Town only needs one Huairentang is enough, and the small pharmacy sandwiched between the Zhao family medical hall and the coffin shop should have closed down a long time ago, could it be that the old man Qian still has any background background that he knows?

Zhao Kuo, who couldn't figure it out, glanced at Niu Er, who was swaying beside him, and felt that after entering the mountain, his net worth and life still needed to rely on this guy's force, so he took the initiative to say: "Niu Er, it seems that it won't be noon, the convoy is about to enter the mountain, you have to be careful when you get to the mountain, you may lose your life if you are not careful." ”

Niu Er said vaguely: "Zhao Langzhong, don't worry, you remember to follow me after entering the mountain, I will ensure that you are fine." ”

As the sun gradually rose, the convoy got closer and closer to the mountain pass, and from a distance, the swarthy mountain pass looked like a beast opening its big mouth, trying to swallow the entire convoy in one gulp.

Seeing that the leading cart had entered the mountain, the whole convoy slowly squirmed forward like a worm. Team leader Zhao Gao also got off the horse, obviously the mountain road is not suitable for horseback riding.

When Zhao Kuo actually stepped into the Tiandu Mountains, he found that the convoy was slowly moving along a rugged mountain road, which gradually changed from low bushes to dense jungles on both sides of the mountain road, and the chaotic cries of various birds and beasts were heard in his ears.

Due to the repeated explanations of the team leader Zhao Gao before entering the mountain, coupled with the previous experience of the old people in the team, everyone carefully paid attention to the movements on both sides of the mountain road, even if there were occasional conversations in the team, they tried to keep the sound as low as possible, and the whole team became extremely quiet, which made the birds and beasts in the mountains chirp more clearly.

Zhao Hao, who was at the front of the convoy, was obviously not very accustomed to this oppressive atmosphere, except for the sound of rolling wheels and the sound of horses' hooves falling to the ground, only the sound of birds and beasts coming from the forest was left.

As a young man who left Caoxu Town for the first time, Zhao Hao added a lot of novel insights along the way, and gradually became familiar with several team members around him, and his arrogant temperament in the past has been worn away a lot.

Although he also heard the team leader Zhao Gao repeatedly remind him of various precautions after entering the mountain, the young man's exuberant energy made him can't help but say: "Does the team have to be so careful every time?

When the coachman who was leading the horse next to him heard this, he first turned his head to look at Zhao Gao's location, and then whispered in a low voice: "This is the second time I have followed the leader into the mountain, and there is everything in this mountain." Last time I was returning from buying grain from the county seat, there was a kid in the convoy who accidentally twisted his foot in the mountains and couldn't help howling, young master, guess what the result was?"

"What else can it be? Could it be that if he screamed, what trouble would happen to the convoy?" Zhao Hao was very dissatisfied with the coachman's trickery.

"That's not it, the team leader heard it at that time, and first asked people to gag the kid, and whipped him down a few times, so that the kid almost fainted. The coachman shrunk his neck a little frightened, and then looked left and right with a mysterious expression.

"That kid is the son of the clan, and he can't even scream after a few whips, but it was his previous voice that attracted a leopard. At that time, the leopard swooped down from the top of the tree, and Liu Laosan was hit at once. ”

"I was not far from Liu Laosan, and I saw the leopard's claws, which were drawn from his shoulders to his hands, and his whole arm was discolored, and the blood was flowing profusely. Liu Laosan was crooked on the ground at that time, and the call was much louder than the previous kid. ”

Fortunately, the guards accompanying the car were clever, first using the rope net to tie the grain on the car to catch the leopard, and then kicked Liu Laosan, who was still howling, so as not to cause more trouble. But seven or eight guards slashed and poked with their guns, and only the leopard's fur was hurt. ”

"It was a rope as thick as a finger, and the leopard broke with three mouths and two paws. It took a lot of effort for everyone to lead the team to poke the leopard blind in one eye, and in the end they couldn't keep the leopard. ”

After the coachman finished the thrilling mountain distress, he looked at Zhao Hao with a little malice, looking forward to the young master's reaction after being frightened.

Unfortunately, to the chauffeur's disappointment, Zhao Hao's face did not change significantly. At this time, there was a commotion at the back of the convoy, and Zhao Hao looked at the rear and said dryly: "Are you talking about that leopard?"

The driver was startled when he heard this, and the hairs on his body immediately stood up, and he twisted his neck stiffly, only to see a one-eyed leopard that had often appeared in his nightmares since the distress incident in the mountains, and was scurrying around the rear of the convoy, and everyone avoided it everywhere it went.

There was only one fat man wielding a spear in an orderly manner, and he was poking at the leopard, and the one who fell to the ground at the man's feet was none other than Zhao Kuo, the former of the Zhao Family Medical Center.

Because Niu Er was resisting the one-eyed leopard's attack head-on, several convoy guards who rushed over had quietly formed an encirclement around the leopard, and threw it at the leopard when they saw the direction with the rope net.

These nets are clearly based on the fleet's last experience with leopards, and are specially equipped with materials that far exceed the ropes used by the convoy to tie up their cargo.

The rope net woven by the rope mixed with multiple strands of animal tendon is no longer strong and tough for the leopard's minions, so before Niu Er is exhausted, the spotted leopard has been firmly bound by the rope net, and it is still tearing the rope.
