Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Strange Bandit
In the dense jungle, the field of vision is not wide, this can be called a place outside the law, no one will take your life seriously, and natural selection is the law of natural survival. This python mountain is also the territory they rely on for survival, and we didn't come uninvited or say hello. Not to mention that the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, Ah Long and I don't talk about the strong dragon, it's just that it's not even a little loach, just wandering around on other people's territory like this, I'm afraid I don't even have a chance to explain, and it is difficult to escape a dead word.
I was very careful in the jungle, not only to make too much noise to attract the attention of the bandits, but also to beware of the strange beasts in the mountains hiding in the depths of the jungle. Even if he hadn't been killed by the bandits, if he hadn't been careful, he would have lost his life if he was bitten by a snake that was highly poisonous in the mountains, even if it wasn't even a beast.
Compared to Aaron, I am more worried about myself, from what he shows, it can be seen that he has extremely rich experience in survival in the wild, and he can handle all kinds of wild accidents by himself, which I don't have. Because in the process of living in the wild, there are actually very few people who act alone, whether it is with the old dog meat dragon or with the big Tai Along, they are all in groups and take care of each other, like this, a total of two people and acting separately is obviously the first time in my life to try, because there was Master Zhong Shui taught him for a month Those techniques and methods made me a little fluttery, as if everything was quite simple. And I'm also a very strong person, I've always regarded Ah Long as a younger brother who needs to take care of himself, but after separating from Master Zhong Shui, it became Ah Long to take care of me, which made me very unaccustomed and even felt a little embarrassed. If I need him to take care of me even when it comes to surveying the terrain, I'll feel quite shameless. I thought I could do it too, and besides, I was actually in a hurry, and I wanted to see my brother Meat Dragon earlier, so that exploring separately would be equivalent to turning one day into two days and shortening the time as much as possible.
Although I don't have much experience in the wild, after all, I also have a sixth-order cultivation in my body, and it would definitely be braggadocio to say that feeling the changes in the breath of heaven and earth resonate with nature. But controlling my pace and making everything quieter, I still did it. I could clearly hear the sound of my feet stepping on the leaves on the wet ground, and I tried to make myself as light and careful as I could. I kept shuttling in the direction of the sun, in order not to get lost when the sun set when I came back, I also quietly used my fingernails to leave a hidden mark on the roots of the tree, and the mountains should not be as straight as the flat land, because the complex mountain topography and undulating terrain characteristics determine that people who do not know how to be flexible will be more likely to take more detours and lose themselves.
I walked from early morning to noon, the scenery along the way has not changed much, and I have encountered a few large beasts foraging for food, I have carefully avoided them, but I have not encountered the group of bandits that Master Zhong Shui said before, is it that Master Zhong Shui has not been to Jingzhou for too long, the news is wrong. As soon as I thought of this, I saw a few people dressed in tatters, and the most valuable thing on their bodies was probably the Pu knife in their hands that was still slightly in response to the cold light, saying that the Pu knife should have lifted them, and the rusty appearance looked like it had not been maintained for a long time, and I suddenly wondered if this group of people was also bandits, and they all said that weapons were the best companions of warriors, and they were dressed in tatters, and even the weapons were like this, and even a few people who looked inferior to our Liang Village soldiers were also worthy of being called thieves who needed to be vigilant in the master's mouthBut I was still very careful to hide myself on the ground, after all, I came out to gather information, and there was no need to cause more trouble.
I only heard one of them say, "Be enlightened, you said that the big boss would prepare something for us to eat." ”
Another man replied: "What can I eat, I've eaten wild vegetables for a few days, and we haven't gained anything from going out every day, so what else do you want to eat?"
The man who spoke first muttered, "Then you can't blame us, this place allocated to us is not to mention human tracks, even there are few animals, you look at our hungry chests and backs, even the farmers under the mountain are not as good." Enlightened, tell me, are there any bandits like us?"
The enlightened man thought for a while and replied, "What you said also makes sense, I think I was also the son of a landlord back then." I went up the mountain with my dreams and worked hard to get into what I am now, in fact, I wonder how I am now. ”
The more I listened, the more interesting I became, the son of the landlord's family left the family's good family business and ran to the mountains to become a bandit? Or is it for his dream???
"I'm also quite puzzled, we and the people in charge are forced by the government to go up the mountain in anger. You are really different from others, the first time I saw you, you were still a boy in fine clothes, and when you saw us, you didn't run or shout, and you said you wanted to see our boss, and after seeing our boss, you said you wanted to join us and we took out all the valuable things on our bodies and said that they would improve the food for the big guys. I said enlightened young master, don't say it, in the past three years, only the moon you just came up on this mountain is the best food. Not to mention the big fish and meat, I used to eat rice and flour and grain, and I didn't have to gnaw on the bark all day long. As he spoke, the thief began to remember his old life.
I took a closer look at the enlightened bandit, and I estimated that he was at most in his twenties. The body looks quite sturdy, and standing with the other bamboo poles is really out of place.
The enlightened bandit sighed when he heard his companion's words. "Alas, I don't know what I think, I read two martial arts novels, in that novel, all the thieves come and go, and they are full of praise when their names are mentioned in the martial arts. I wondered what it meant to spend all day at home, just eating and drinking, collecting rent, and inspecting my own tenants. I set up my own ideals at that time, I wanted to be a thief! I wanted to be a thief who was praised by everyone in the rivers and lakes! Then I worked hard to exercise my body, worked hard to improve my cultivation, and waited for the opportunity, and when a famous thief came to our town, I went to worship him as a teacher, but I waited left and right for two years, and there were only some gentlemen in the town, and that was not what I wanted. I don't have much patience, as soon as I heard others say that the bandits on this python mountain are monstrous, I thought about what thieves are not thieves, I can't find a thief, I don't think it's good to be a thief first. I ran away from home and went up Python Mountain alone. As a result, who knows that it is now, eating wild vegetables and wearing rags every day, living like a refugee. I really miss the delicacies at home now, the comfortable bed at home, the little girl who warms the bed, that girl should be sixteen years old this year, she must be more and more energetic, but unfortunately I can't enjoy it. ”
I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard this, what kind of person is this, this brain is really different from what others think, good days, but I still have a dream of being a refugee in the mountains.
When I laughed, the thief who was talking and watching immediately noticed it, looked in the direction where I was lying on my stomach, and shouted, "Somebody is eavesdropping there! Get out of here!"
I saw that the situation was not good, I got up and ran away, the wind was tight, and I couldn't care about inquiring about the news at this time, and this one was accidentally said to be dead. In fact, just a few goods, I estimate that I can clean it up in three or two, but after all, it is someone's territory, maybe there are more and more people, and it will definitely suffer.
I turned around and ran, although these bandits were also desperately chasing, but except for the one named Kaiming who could barely keep up with my footsteps, the other few yellow-faced and thin ones were thrown away in less than two steps. In order not to be caught up, I didn't dare to look back, especially on the mountain, which is not as flat as the ground, and there are traps everywhere, and I am almost back to the cave where I was hiding before, and there is no movement behind me, I am also a little out of strength, leaning down and panting. Feeling a little relieved, I turned back to take a closer look, and after waiting for a while, there was still no movement, and then I carefully lay back in the cave and lay down.
I fell asleep again, and by the time I woke up again, it was getting dark. Aaron sat in the open space next to me, with a scorched mark in front of him. When Aaron saw that I had woken up, he reached out and handed over a black slimy object.
"Oh, Brother Rui, I really admire you. Let's talk about returning before sunset, I was afraid of being found in a bandit base camp I was afraid of being found in the distance and observed for a while and returned directly, I just started to set the sun when I arrived here, and you have been asleep for a while, look at you like that are obviously not just asleep, this time you wake up and eat a sweet potato, fortunately you wake up early, if you wake up later and eat cold. ”
Although I didn't answer, my hand was not idle, and I continued to nibble on the sweet potato. The more I ate, the hungrier I became, and then I remembered that I hadn't eaten since I ate half of Aaron's roast chicken in the morning. After a few bites, I finished the sweet potato in my hand, and I looked at Ah Long again.
Ah Long's eyes dodged, and after being stared at by me for a while, he finally couldn't help it, and turned out another sweet potato from the ground and handed it over, "I'm really convinced of you, eat it, there are only three in total, I ate one before, and we will be gone after you finish eating this." ”
I took the sweet potato in Ah Long's hand and gave him a look that was really like this, and then ate the sweet potato in three or two bites, and finally felt a little full, and then reflexively lay down and said with both hands on the ground: "This day is really not easy, if you didn't bake a few sweet potatoes, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that I was hungry." You've only discovered the base camp, and I'm so much more thrilled than you that I almost guessed I'd have to fight the bandits. ”
Ah Long showed a puzzled expression, "Brother Rui, you encountered a bandit?
I hiccuped comfortably: "Eh, you let me breathe a sigh of relief and slowly tell you about what happened to me today." ”
