Chapter Thirty-Eight: Running for Food

"Well, you can rest here, or you can walk around, look around, there were a few of us, but they went hunting together, and I will bring them to meet you in the evening. Reaching out and scratching the back of his head, a shy flush appeared on the naphthal's face.

"If there's something you don't understand, you can come and ask me. ”

Hearing this, Yougen smiled.

The smile is complicated.

"Okay, I'll tell you what I don't know, so that we can be together and get a good look at the problem. ”

After saying that, Yougen turned around and left, leaving a little sluggish stone brain scratching the back of his head and looking at Yougen's back.

As he walked, Yougen said loudly, "I'll go outside first." ”

"Then you can turn around, there is no danger in this area, but don't go far, and most importantly, don't go into the woods. Shi Nao waved his hand at Yougen's distant back and said loudly.

"......" waved his hand wordlessly, and ran into the waist-high weeds in the field.

"That's fast. Looking at the grass and trees that quickly turned to calm, and putting down the arm that scratched the back of his head, Shi Nao smiled.

"It's really agile. ”

There is a short body, and it shuttles rapidly through the deep and dense long grass.

As he passed over a low field, Arigen stopped and crouched down.

One lifted his foot and looked at his feet.

At his feet, there was a branch.

It was a piece of wet wood.

There are three cracks on the moss-covered and mud-colored wood.

From the crack that he had stepped on, he could clearly see that there were many insects in the rotten trunk of the tree.

White insects.

Yougen used to know that this insect was called termites in variety shows on TV.

But Arigen didn't pay attention to this invertebrate insect.

The one who has a root to pay attention to is the wet wood.

Look at the surface of the damp tree trunk, where there are shoe prints.

One reached out his right hand, touched his shoe print with his index finger, and then stood up.

Place your thumb on your index finger and rub it gently, feeling the heat from the tip of your finger.

Yougen pursed his lips, swallowed and foamed, and said softly: "There are goods, and there is a drop in the evening." ”

Two hours later, the wagon, loaded with several bags full of wheat husks, was pulled out of Caoyun County by four dehaired horses.

The carriage passed through a meadow.

The iron-encrusted wheels crushed the fragile grass stalks all the way, and the old women who were washing the laundry had not yet returned, and the naphthal, with the remaining old men and children, greeted the approaching carriage with loud cheers.

On the carriage, the coachman, who was also dressed in linen weaving, was unusually clean and did not show his chest, and the coachman with a hat waved his whip vigorously.

The whipped horses howled, pulled the carriage with all its might, and walked out into the crowd in front of the shack.

Shi Nao instructed the old man beside him, first made a bow to the coachman, and only after receiving the coachman's nod did they begin to unload the cloth bags on the carriage.

After Shi Nao led the people to put the empty cloth bag back into the carriage, the coachman smiled and waved his whip, and the four horses pulled the carriage towards the east gate of Caoyun County.

The carriage bypassed the shack area and was on its way to the city walls.

There are roots scurrying out of the weeds.

Ran in front of the colt.

At the tip of the cuff of his soaked right hand, the blood turned into red droplets and continued to trickle down to the ground.

In his right hand, he was holding several dead weasels that had been skinned and dirty, and a fox that had been treated the same way as the weasels.

The horse neighed, and in the midst of the neighing, the man stood up.

The driver was startled, and on the bumpy body, he pulled the reins in his hand tightly.

The horses were old horses, and though there were four of them, they still did not have enough strength to overturn the carriage in a state of great alarm.

So, the horse quickly calmed down.

However, the driver could not be calm.

Standing up from the carriage, the trembling groom took the whip, pointed to Yougen, and shouted excitedly: "What is it, is it a man or a ghost!"

Looking at the coachman who was pointing at him, his face was excited, but his whole body was trembling, he was stunned for a moment before he replied: "This ...... I'm supposed to be human. ”

"Oh. Hearing Yougen's answer, the coachman, who was swinging all over, sat back in the carriage and said with a sigh on his face: "It turns out that you are a human." ”

Then the driver got up from the car again and shouted, "What the hell are you pretending?"

Hearing this, Yougen touched his chin covered with stubble, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's me who is wrong, I'm sorry, then I apologize to you." ”

After saying that, Yougen raised his foot and wanted to go around the carriage.

"Wait, boy. ”

"What's the matter. Yougen, who had already walked to the side of the car, stopped and turned to look at the driver standing at the front of the car.

"Lao Tzu's waist has flashed. ”

"Not really. Holding down the edge of the car, one rolled over and stood on the front of the car.

He stood beside the coachman.

"Ouch, ouch. The coachman clutched his waist and wailed loudly.

"Are you alright, let me see. ”

"Hey~yo!" Hearing this, the coachman who was covering his waist sideways, his volume suddenly rose several notches.

"My waist is broken!"

Looking at the coachman's exaggerated movements, listening to the coachman's almost hysterical shouts, Yougen was also anxious, and said anxiously: "Hey, it doesn't matter to you, or I'll take you to the doctor!"

"What's the doctor?"

“...... It's to find someone who can heal the sick. ”

"Ouch~!" the coachman continued to howl, maintaining his previous high-pitched volume.

"The doctor in the city said that I had an old disease in my waist, and I had to use fresh raccoon meat as a medicine to cure it. ”

"......" looked at the coachman who continued to press his waist and howl, and the corners of Yougen's mouth began to twitch.

"Don't howl, my fox was just beaten, I'll make you a medicine. ”

Looking at the fox that was handed to him, skinning and dirty, the coachman obediently stopped howling.

"Well, I don't have to be a fox. The coachman pushed away from his mouth, but his hand had already snatched the fox into his arms, which was drenched in blood and had clean fur.

"Hey, this fox's body is still warm. Holding the corpse of the fox, the coachman's eyes showed a trace of doubt, and he said to Yougen: "Young man, the wild things near the shack are not easy to fight, this fox, where did you get it?"

"Hehe, it took some work. ”

"Young man, then I'll thank you. ”

"......" Yougen jumped out of the carriage without a word, and said calmly: "The old man is good, don't send it." ”

The coachman nodded, pulled the reins, and threw up his whip.

The carriage was pulled up again.

When the carriage and Yougen passed by, the coachman with a bloody fox and a happy face suddenly turned his head, looked at Yougen standing on the ground, and asked, "Young man, what is your name?"

"My name is Yougen. ”
