Chapter 5: The Threshold of Life and Death
The first time he came to this mountain, the master didn't tell him anything at first, but only told him a different kind of training. For the young and vigorous Hengyu, for him who was training boringly all day, he was very happy to hear this news. Fart, fart followed behind the master, that day's trip, not to mention how happy it was.
There are not many species on the island, not to mention that the plains have been occupied by humans. Large wildlife is clustered on the mountain, with deer, wolves, monkeys and the like. Watching the wind all the way, the first type of animal Hengyu saw was a deer, in fact, this was what the master taught him to see.
And when Heng Yu turned to look, he only felt a gust of wind whistling by, and his master flew towards the group of creatures in front of him-the deer herd. Next, Hengyu saw the bloodiest and most exhilarating scene. This scene, Hengyu felt that it was enough to shock his life. The occurrence of this scene made Hengyu feel what a strong man is, and it also made him yearn for being strong even more.
Just now, before the deer could react, in the midst of the master's loud cheers, the strongest stag had disappeared. But the master stood where the deer was just now, and then there was a sound.
The sound of a "bang" fist hitting the door of the buck's head seemed to have something shattered at that moment.
A similar sound of "bang" sounded again. The stag flew up and fell to the ground, followed by the howl of the deer herd and the running in all directions.
What shocked him was that Master could hit the stag and fly nearly twenty meters away. At the same time, another thing that was enough to shock Hengyu was that the moment the master ran over, the entire deer herd did not react, what kind of speed does this need!
"There's nothing to be shocked about, it's something that almost every martial artist can achieve. So, as long as you work hard to cultivate, then you will know clearly. Also, that's your food for the last few days, and you'll be here for ten days......" Hengyu's sluggishness continued, as Master had already thrown the dead deer he had dragged over.
Master's words deepened Hengyu's shock, and once again touched a certain heartstring in him. So much so that when he reacted from the second half of the sentence, the master was about to go down the mountain. Hengyu hurriedly asked, "Master, don't you plan to leave me here alone?"
"I'm going to keep it, and I'll only hinder your training. You remember to take care of yourself and stay safe! Don't go down the mountain, I'll pick you up in ten days...."The voice felt far away.
Ten days, hard training? Heng Yu smiled.
Hengyu's anxiety before, it's not that he was afraid, it's just that people are very strange animals, and after getting along with others for a long time, there will always be dependence. Therefore, when the master left, he was only slightly uneasy. There is no sense of crisis, perhaps related to the fact that life was too comfortable before.
Not long after the master left, Hengyu's mind was completely attracted by the scenery. Yes, there is no man-made destruction of the natural world, and there is no beauty everywhere. With Hengyu's curiosity, it is really beautiful everywhere.
This place with beautiful scenery where Hengyu lives is an island. The population of the island is not very large, about 20,000~30,000 people, and most of the people live in the relatively flat land in the west. Of course, there are a few so-called hermits who live in the eastern part of the mountain range. The so-called "hermit" is almost impossible for ordinary people to meet, so some people will even directly call this mountain range "no man's land".
It's about to be dusk, and Hengyu is still enjoying the beautiful scenery of this "no man's land" that no one tramples on! It is rare to be so idle, perhaps it is related to the reason why he is a little tired from the south to the north early in the morning.
The advantage of landscape scenery is that it can never be seen, close-up, far-sighted, partial, whole-view, from far and near, from near and far, etc., countless observation methods, to see countless flavors.
With emotion, the dusk was coming to an end, and Heng Yu knew that he had to prepare his own food. With a dagger and a short sword, on the one hand, he can defend himself, and on the other hand, he can practice swords when he has time.
Hengyu has never lit a fire before, when will it be Brother Gongzi's turn to cook by himself, not to mention that this is still a society where men are superior to women. In the year with the master, he was only busy training, and the food was brought by the master.
Thinking of this, Hengyu couldn't help but wonder why his master's craftsmanship was so good! The food always felt delicious, but he had never seen the master cook in person. It wasn't the Master's doing, but he didn't see anyone else in the vicinity, and it was even more impossible to send people from the city into the barren mountains and mountains.
At the same time, Hengyu thought of the delicacies of the mountains and seas that he could eat when he was at home, compared with the delicious food that he could eat during training, and then looked at the fluffy and bloody venison in his hand, Hengyu couldn't help but be speechless.
As a son-in-law, the only thing worthy of Hengyu's luck at this moment is that there have been a few times when the family has had a few outdoor barbecues luxuriously. I haven't eaten pork, but I've seen pigs running, and right now, it seems that I won't be hungry. But when he thought of home, Hengyu's face began to darken.
The work of the staff did not stop. Hengyu quickly peeled off the fur on the piece of venison in his hand, then found a fresh and succulent branch, processed it with a dagger, and skewered the meat. Next, it's time to light a fire, flip it over and over again, and grill the meat. It's simple, but it requires a lot of energy, but the process is very gratifying and satisfying. Even if it doesn't taste good when it's baked, and even if it doesn't taste salty, it's still worth satisfying. Cooking by myself always feels much more delicious and fragrant. Eating your own barbecued meat, under the beautiful scenery, I feel very comfortable.
The sky is getting darker, the night is getting deeper, and the moon is getting cooler. The earth does not forget to turn, and the night breeze does not fail to be punctual. The food was fragrant, and the night breeze was slowly blowing, and who started it, breaking the silence of the night.
Is it the knowing, knowing, or the terrifying wolf howl.
"Woo~"
Perhaps the wolf howl is always the most fascinating part of the night, because of the threat of life, we have to pay attention.
"Woo~"
The wolf howl is a natural movement because it can resonate with people, and because it also conforms to the law of gradual progress.
At night, it is always easy for people to calm down, and it is also more convenient for people to enjoy the grace of nature. The wolf howl was also gradually penetrating into Hengyu's heart at this time.
"Whew!"
The night breeze blew, and even Hengyu's heart gradually became colder. By this time, dinner was almost finished, and the little warmth that depended on food was gradually fading.
"Whew!" Hengyu shrank into a ball and shivered with cold.
"Sneeze"
The more cold he was, the colder he became, and this sneeze woke Hengyu up.
"Woo~", the wolf howl got closer and closer, and Hengyu reacted with a spirit. Look at the dead deer at your feet, it's still so bloody, is this completely putting yourself in dire straits?
"Woo~" The wolf howl got closer. Although Hengyu has been going up the mountain to follow the master for a year, he has only changed from a boy to a prime! The wolves can pose a threat to him, and they are a big threat.
"Ahh After all, he took a breath, and the rest of his life after the catastrophe made Hengyu smile back happily. But when he turned around, he was dumbfounded...
"Oh!
Yes, his meal, his food for the next few days. Because at this moment, he is not sure whether he can complete the hunt alone, which means that he can't make a guarantee for his diet. In other words, the dead deer in the pool of blood that the master shot will be his food for the next few days, his food.
With his hands propped up, his whole body straightened, he dodged and fell, and his feet pushed on the ground, landing safely but not elegantly. It's just a consideration of strength and physical flexibility, and it's just an assessment of Hengyu's training results this year. Striding and quickly running towards the deer carcass, grabbing the deer's leg with one hand, he immediately turned around and ran back. The whole set of movements is complete without losing speed, and you are under the tree. That's a leading wolf! Yes! In the blink of an eye, it has appeared in front of Hengyu's eyes.
Hurry up the tree, but now dragging a dead deer under him, his speed is always hindered. As soon as he was halfway up, Hengyu felt that the deer in his hand was beginning to sink, and it had been bitten by a wolf on its front legs. And wolves have also appeared in Hengyu's eyes one after another.... The sense of crisis appeared so profoundly in Hengyu's world for the first time, and of course, his body with a strong sense of strength still allowed him to calm down and make a suitable choice. With a strong arm, the wolf lifted the deer up, grabbed the deer's legs, and shook it suddenly.
"Smack!"
The wolves had arrived, but Hengyu had already lifted the deer up, but the wolf flew down on a tree trunk next to it, and after landing, it staggered.
The wolves looked at Hengyu, still jumping, as if they wanted to bite the deer off. But it seems that it has become an impossible thing to accomplish, because Hengyu has dragged the deer higher and higher.
Hengyu hung the dead deer on a few branches high enough, and then looked at the wolves under the tree. Because of the wolf nature, the wolves did not give up for a long time for the food in front of them, and kept jumping under the trees, as funny as they wanted. Hengyu had a childlike seizure and made a few grimaces below.
Hengyu, who has hatred in his heart, rarely has such interest!
Of course, what Hengyu wouldn't have thought was that in the future training, there would always be such an old wolf in his field of vision!
