Chapter Forty-Nine: The Blockers

Hou Ping'an actually has a lot of questions to ask the old man. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, who exterminated their tribe?

Where did those tigers of their tribe go?

and why an important person like him would become the other party's slip through the net.

It's a pity that the old man didn't give him this opportunity, and after handing over Ah Hua to him, he went into the mountains and forests alone.

The corpses all over the ground definitely didn't taste good, and after making sure that there were really no living people here, Hou Ping'an and they burned the entire tribe clean with a big fire.

The journey has to continue, just with a small tail. Hou Ping'an and the others also understood Ah Hua's mood, so they also tried to slow down. Every time she eats, no matter whether she can eat or not, she will try to give her as much food as possible.

Fortunately, after three days of numbness, Ah Hua finally has a little bit of energy and is no longer like a walking corpse.

The jungles in the south are actually relatively dry most of the time except during the rainy season. Although there are many rivers, most of the mountains and forests are still relatively short of water. Sometimes, even after a day's journey, they may not be able to find a water source.

At this time, Ah Hua and Ah Hu fully proved the intelligence and experience of the people of the southern Xinjiang tribe. When they are short of water, they will find a lot of sap-filled plants, which do not taste very good, but can replenish water. This gave Hou Ping'an an an extra guarantee for their journey. At the very least, it will not cause collapse due to lack of water.

Finding water is only one aspect, but finding food is actually more about the experience of a tribesman. Although there is never a shortage of food in the jungle, especially meat. But people can't always eat meat, and they still need a little plant vitamin supplement.

The life of the tribe grows in the mountains, and they know how to mix meat and vegetables better than people outside.

When Hou Ping'an and the green salt they brought out were eaten, it was a plant that Ah Hua found that was acting as salt.

The plant looks tall and has tubular rhizomes that can be used as food, but the most important thing is that it bears a kind of fruit.

This fruit is small, dark green in color, and can hold hundreds of them in the palm of one hand, but it is rare. A human-tall plant often has only a few dozen of these fruits.

This fruit cannot be eaten directly, and eating it directly will cause diarrhea. But the juice dripped on the roast meat was salty, almost like salt.

Hou Ping'an asked Ah Hua what this plant is called. It's a pity that Ah Hua doesn't know how to translate the tribal language into Zhou dialect, so Hou Ping'an and they can only follow Ah Hua's pronunciation and call this thing a black fan.

On this day, when they passed a small stream again, Hou Ping'an and the others filled their water bags with water. I was about to leave, but I saw such a black fan on the other side of the stream.

When you see it, you naturally have to pick it, after all, salt is an important source of replenishment of physical strength in this era.

Ah Hua waded through the stream, and before her hand could reach the black fan, she was startled by the wild boar that rushed out of the slanted thorn.

Fortunately, the wild boar didn't come for her, otherwise this little pig, which looked like only a hundred and ten pounds, would have poked Ah Hua into a hole.

Sharp fangs, hidden in the grass. As if it was being chased, it looked in one direction and ran wildly. Even when Yue Niu ran over to bring Ah Hua back, it didn't turn its head to take a look.

Xiao Bai was eager to try, this size of prey was just what it wanted, when he was in Tianxing Valley, he and Hou Ping'an often did this. One drove away the other attack, such a large amount of food, just enough for the two of them to eat for a day.

It's a pity that this time Hou Ping'an didn't give Xiaobai this chance. When it wanted to chase out, it was called back by Hou Ping'an.

Although Xiaobai didn't know why, he still did it, just a low roar from his mouth, expressing his dissatisfaction. It's just that soon it swallowed the grievances and grievances back into its stomach, because someone came.

This is not to say that Hou Ping'an's perception or sense of smell is more sensitive than Xiaobai. It's just that as a person, he knows how to observe better. For example, the scars on the boar's body just now are similar to those caused by swords.

This is also the reason why Yue Niu went to bring Ah Hua back just now.

The person who appeared had a blue face and red lips, and his shirt did not cover his body. But the weapons in his hands are very exquisite, and the style should be a product of the Central Plains generation.

It's just that the tribes that can go to the Central Plains to exchange weapons, why are they dressed so poorly?

There were four people who appeared, and after seeing Hou Ping'an and them, the other party divided into groups of two and did not chase their prey again. A group of people ran on their way, probably going back to report the situation. A group of people stood on the other side of the creek, clearly telling Hou Ping'an that we were watching.

Hou Ping'an has encountered a lot of this situation in the past few days, and every time he takes a detour, the other party will generally not be entangled again.

This time too, although he couldn't pick the black fan, he decided to take a detour.

It's a pity that this time the other party's territory seems to be a bit big. Hou Ping'an and the others walked downstream along the creek for almost ten miles, and the other party was still watching.

If it weren't for Hou Ping'an's fear of arousing the revenge of their tribe, he would have wanted to destroy them. Just like that, two people dare to spy on themselves so blatantly, and I don't know if they are stupid or bold. Or in their eyes, Hou Ping'an and the others are not threatening at all.

Being watched is a nuisance, even if that person is your parent, and it's disgusting, especially if it's two strangers.

Although it was not clear what their purpose was, Hou Ping'an's patience had been worn out, and he was ready to take action to teach those two people a lesson.

Of course, it will not directly kill them, but it is still necessary to make them temporarily incapacitated and unable to continue to track and monitor themselves.

It's a pity that Hou Ping'an's somewhat procrastination character made him lose the opportunity to make a move.

More than a dozen people came from the other side of the stream, and the two who took the lead were the ones who had just returned. After they arrived here, they pointed at Hou Ping'an and them, but unfortunately they were too far away, and they didn't know what they were talking about. I really miss the world that promotes Mandarin.

The dozen or so people opposite, after Hou Ping'an and them carefully observed, it was actually obvious that they were surrounding the person in the middle. That person should be their leader or leader.

Although these people were dressed similarly, the person who looked like the leader obviously had more ornaments around his neck than the others. It's just that his ornament is not the common beast bones and teeth of the tribe, but a series of beads and metal. I don't know how many Zhou people who came to explore southern Xinjiang died at his hands.
