Chapter 4 Into the Mountain

As soon as the morning dawned, Qin Chuan had already gotten up.

When I walked into the courtyard, I found that the cups and plates on the stone table were in disarray. He knew that his father had drunk a lot of alcohol last night. Yesterday, the old man Wang in the village came to his father for a drink, and he talked very happily with his father, so it didn't end until late at night, because Qin Chuan was going to go into the mountains to hunt today, so he went to bed early.

Speaking of this old man Wang, he is really a person with rich experience. I heard that Old Man Wang was the son of a foreign family when he was young, and his parents always hoped that he could study and get ahead, and Old Man Wang did not disappoint his father, and he was admitted to Xiucai in his twenties. But the local county order coveted their family's property. So he fabricated some charges against their family and put their family in prison.

On the day of the execution, a young knight in white suddenly killed those corrupt officials and saved their family. Since then, Old Man Wang has wanted to abandon literature and martial arts, and learn martial arts everywhere, but unfortunately he is too old and has passed the best age to learn martial arts. So if he failed to apprentice many times, he would die.

Later, the family declined, his parents died one after another, and he himself was not good at management. He simply sold his family property, and since then he has been playing the rivers and lakes freely.

In the end, when the money was gone, he came to this small village and taught the children in the village to read and write. Qin Chuan's ability to read and hyphenate was taught by him, so Qin Chuan respected this old man very much in his heart. In his spare time, the old man told some interesting stories about martial arts to enrich the lives of the people in the village, so the villagers also sent him some food every once in a while. With the help of the villagers, Old Man Wang can also live. But Old Man Wang seems to have a very good relationship with his father, and he comes to his father every once in a while to play chess and drink.

Seeing his father drinking and playing chess, Qin Chuan was also very happy in his heart, but thinking of his father's physical condition, Qin Chuan was very worried, after all, he was poisoned back then. I secretly thought in my heart: "I would rather hunt less prey when I go into the mountains today, but also find some herbs for my father to condition his body." ”

Because when his father taught him to hunt, he also taught him to identify some herbs, and if he was injured while hunting, he could also treat the wound first. He remembered that when his father went into the mountains, in addition to hunting, he would also bring back a lot of medicinal herbs. Some kept it for himself, and some gave it to other people in the village, so his father also had a good reputation in the village.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan hurriedly cleaned up the leftovers on the table and made breakfast. Finding that his father was still sleeping, Qin Chuan did not wake him up, but left him two hot steamed buns in the pot, while he ate one himself.

After breakfast, Qin Chuan checked the bow and arrow and spear as usual. Then he took some dry food and water and went on the road, and today there was a small medicine basket on his back compared to before. After making all the preparations, he quietly closed the courtyard door and left, walking towards the vast mountain.

And Qin Chuan didn't know that after he just left, his father appeared in the small courtyard. At this time, he left sad tears on his old face, and at the same time had a relieved smile on his face, but his body was a little stiffer.

On the morning of late autumn, the weather was still a little cold, and Qin Chuan walked alone on the country road. After a while, his head was covered with dew. Behind him, there was a rush of footsteps.

"Brother Chuan, Brother Chuan, wait for me, I will also go into the mountain with you. Zhang Hu shouted later, Zhang Hu and Qin Chuan were the same age. But it is completely opposite to Qin Chuan's well-behaved character, he likes to dance with guns and sticks, fight and cause trouble, which makes people very uneasy, he usually admires Qin Chuan the most, and has the best relationship with Qin Chuan. In the past, when I saw Qin Chuan daring to go into the mountains alone to hunt, I was a little unconvinced, and I always thought that I could also enter the mountains alone.

Once, he thought it was fun to go into the mountain and secretly went into the mountain, but after a while he got lost, and let himself be hungry for a day, and finally if he wasn't a little clever, he probably wouldn't be able to get out, but despite this, he still made himself blue and swollen, and his family never let him into the mountain again, and looked at him almost every day.

"Dead boy, come back with me, what are you going to do with Xiaochuan, you will only be naughty. This is Zhang Hu's mother yelling in the back. As he spoke, he twisted Huzi's ears and pulled him back. While saying to Qin Chuan: "Xiaochuan, be careful when you enter the mountain, aunt bring this dead boy back, so as not to cause trouble for you, come to your aunt's house at night, and your aunt will make you something to eat." ”

Qin Chuan smiled and replied that he would definitely go.

"Brother Chuan, you must come, there is a martial arts leader in the city who is coming to our house tonight, maybe you can learn from him!" Zhang Hu added in his wail.

Zhang Hu grinned and went back with her mother. Looking at this scene, Qin Chuan was a little envious, because he had never seen his mother. His mood was a little depressed when he thought of this.

Qin Chuan paused slightly, then adjusted his mood, and quickly ran into the mountains, he first found the trap that had been placed before. The trap is made of bamboo, so it can only catch small beasts, and if it is a slightly larger beast, it can break free. Qin Chuan found that the trap, the grass around it, there were traces of being eaten, so he didn't have the idea of changing places, according to experience, there would be beasts coming over in this place.

Qin Chuan carefully restored the weeds around the bar to their original state, leaving no trace of people coming, and finally retreated according to the original footprints, and covered the footprints with dead leaves.

In addition to hunting, Qin Chuan came into the mountains today for another purpose to collect medicine, he wanted to find a herb called skullcap and boil medicine for his father. He knew that the valuable herbs in the outermost part of the mountain had been picked by the people in the village, so he didn't stop at the outskirts and walked directly into the mountains.

The deeper you go, the more weeds grow in the woods, and the same danger increases, so the average villager will not choose to go deep into the mountains. In the past, Qin Chuan didn't dare to enter the mountain like this, but recently learning martial arts from his father for half a year has given him a lot of confidence, as long as he is careful, there should be no problem.

While Qin Chuan was alert to the surrounding situation, he was looking around, especially in places with more grass and trees. After searching for a long time to no avail, Qin Chuan's mood became a little irritable, but he did not give up searching. Seeing that it was almost noon, Qin Chuan found a big tree and sat down, ate some dry food, and after a short rest, he began to look for it again.

After searching one bush after another, suddenly, a small pale blue flower came into his eyes, and the leaves under the flower were jagged and already a little yellow. Seeing this medicinal herb, Qin Chuan's hanging heart finally let go, this is the skullcap he wants.

Qin Chuan was just about to pick up the grass to dig the medicine, the birdsong around him suddenly stopped, Qin Chuan subconsciously squatted down, and used the withered grass around him to cover his figure, just after doing this, he found a big and a small one in the distance, two black things, thinking that he was coming this way. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was two black bears. Cold sweat covered Qin Chuan's forehead, but fortunately he didn't go out, otherwise he would have sent a big meal to the black bear.

Adult black bears are more ferocious than tigers. Fortunately, the two black bears stopped at the skullcap and did not walk towards the grass on his side, but the bear cub sat on the skullcap with a butt, and Qin Chuan was speechless for a while!

However, he did not let his guard down, and watched the two bears on the grass motionlessly. Soon after, the big bear barked twice at the cub and left on his own, while the cub rolled on the grass.

Qin Chuan observed from a distance for a while, and confirmed that Da Xiong had indeed left, and that he had gone to a distant place.

Qin Chuan quietly took off the bow and arrow behind his back, and then put the arrow on the bow, usually when shooting pheasants and hares, the bow only needs to be half full, but this time Qin Chuan used all his strength, and even used a trace of internal strength to pull the bow to the full.

His eyes stared at the little bear tightly, his hand suddenly loosened, and the arrow flew out with a "whoosh", and was fiercely inserted into one of the bear's eyes, the little bear wailed and rolled on the ground, seeing this scene, Qin Chuan did not hesitate at all, grabbed the spear beside him, rushed to the side of the bear in a few arrow steps, held the gun with both hands, aimed at the throat of the little bear, and plunged it down, and the blood sprayed on Qin Chuan's face at once. Xiao Xiong suddenly stopped struggling, and only then did Qin Chuan breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he did not pause in the slightest, and quickly took out the tools from the back basket, aimed at the skullcap that had been flattened by the bear, and dug it down. Because skullcap is useful for roots, which is why it is necessary to deal with bears when they see that the flowers and leaves have been destroyed by the bear. After packing everything up, he looked at the dead bear on the ground, put it on his back, and walked briskly down the mountain.

Not long after Qin Chuan left, a huge cry of sorrow came from the deep mountains. Qin Chuan, who was walking on the mountain road, was also trembling in his heart after hearing this, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace a little more, and even the place where the trap was placed at the beginning, he didn't dare to take a look, because Qin Chuan also knew that the revenge psychology of the black bear was very strong. Qin Chuan was afraid that he would be bumped into by the big black bear, so he would be very happy and sad, anyway, today's harvest was already great, so he quickly wanted to go down the mountain.
