Chapter 275 Entering the Mountain
Seeing Xiaobao rolling his eyes, Chu Yuan, who was standing aside, also rolled his eyes: Look, let's just say these guys are not as reliable as me!
Just listen to the conversation over there continuing:
"It's okay, there's a trick!" The young man named Ning Zi suddenly thought of something and said immediately, for fear of saying it too late and delaying the idea: "Look, it's only the beginning of the month. It's appropriate to go to Linxian at the end of next month. , there are only two months left, if we work harder and earn more, Shuxiu will be fine? We can go there to learn the craft!"
"Brother Ning Zi, you have a good idea. Since you have nothing to do now, why not just make money! Shall we sign up?"
"Report! Must report!"
"Then I'll sign up too!"
"Hey, did you hear that, their plan is good, how about we repay it too?"
So this group of people made up their minds and signed up enthusiastically, which suddenly aroused the minds of those who were watching:
"Shall we follow suit? Even if there are tigers and blind bears, they won't go to places with many people, right?"
"That's right. When there are more people, the noise will be louder, and the big animals will stay away."
"Report it, don't think about it! You can still make some money while you are free now, but you won't have this time when spring comes."
"Okay, report!"
"We'll repay it too!"
The two guards guarding the "Recruitment Notice" looked at each other: "Are you not afraid of death?"
The crowd began to sign up enthusiastically, and for fear of being late, the guards had to maintain order and ask to queue up.
So there was a fuss again, one said "I'm in front of you", the other said "I was right here", everyone squeezed around, Xiao Sining and the others quietly left as if they were squeezed by the crowd and had nowhere to go.
When Xiaobao saw Xiao Sining and the others turning around a corner and entering a secluded alley, Xiaobao followed him there, saying "Oh, what a talent!" Good shopkeeper!"
Chu Yuan said nothing. He was anxious to go home and change clothes. He didn't want to stand aside anymore.
Chu Qing was very confident that as soon as she posted the "Job Notice", there would be an influx of applicants.
Now I heard Huang Rong come over and say that there were people outside who couldn't sign up and were trying to intercede with the boss, and she felt even more at ease: "Let them rest assured that everyone who has signed up will come and gather tomorrow morning."
Everything just goes so logically.
Xiaobao saw that there were so many people signing up, so he postponed his travel plan and helped his mother to maintain it for a few days.
"Let's look for an opportunity to go into the mountains to check." Xiaobao told Xiao Sining and Chu Yuan.
If you have a chance to enter the mountains, kill every one of them!
When going into the mountains to cut down trees, they usually start from the edge of the designated area. This makes it easier to transport the felled trees, so Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining did not have the opportunity to go deeper into the forest in the first few days.
Xiaobao observed it for a few days and figured out Chu Qing's intention of doing this. On the surface it was for transportation convenience, but in fact it was to "knock on the mountain and shake the tiger".
If the outside surrounds the foot of the mountain on such a large scale, the bandits inside will hide deeper and deeper, making it harder to obtain daily necessities. This is to trap them in the mountain.
The morning after seven days.
Xiaobao: "This won't work! If I were them, I would definitely store enough food. It won't matter if I can't get out for a while! Besides, there is still hunting in the mountains, so they won't be hungry!"
Xiao Sining: "Well, waiting like this is a bit passive, so what do you think?"
Xiaobao said: "Go into the mountains!"
Xiao Sining was worried: "Can we do it with just a dozen of us?"
What if we encounter a large force of bandits? Didn't they dispatch 150 people last time?
Xiaobao said: "We don't want so many people. I will go by myself and will bring Xiaoying and Ganlai with me."
Gan Lai felt that Xiaobao's words were a bit awkward, as if he and Xiaoying were of the same kind.
Xiao Sining and Chu Yuan said in unison: "No!"
Xiaobao: "I just went to check it out. If there are too many people, it will be easier to be discovered."
Chu Yuan was already on his feet: "Women and children! You're afraid that people won't catch you and blackmail your mother, right?"
Xiaobao gets angry whenever he mentions his mother.
But after thinking about it, he insisted: "We won't go any deeper. We will just take a look at the general terrain and come back."
Then he said to Gan: "Let's pretend to be Orions."
Although Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining firmly opposed it, Xiao Baoruo gave the order directly with a cold face, but they did not dare to speak any more.
Ever since Xiaobao fell into coma and woke up, they always felt that there seemed to be some changes in the child, but they couldn't tell what the specific changes were. This feeling made them at a loss.
After this discussion, the plan was set to be carried out early tomorrow morning. Therefore, after the meeting was over, Xiao Sining and Chu Yuan secretly discussed whether to tell Chu Qing.
Unexpectedly, before they could reach the conclusion of their discussion, Xiaobao and Gan Lai went into the mountain as soon as they finished their discussion.
Gan Lai had always imitated Chu Qing in wearing men's clothes, but it was difficult to hide her pretty little face and big gray-blue eyes. Even if she wore men's clothes, it would attract women's eyes instead of men's.
So Gan Lai often wears a felt hat and hides his eyes in the shadow under the brim. Today he even wore a full beard.
It's very interesting to say. The last time Chu Qing held a group wedding for the boys, Gan Lai opened his eyes.
In Daxuan, three days before a woman gets married, the man will give her a makeup-inducing flower bun.
It has the same function as modern wigs, but most people just style their hair into a bun and fix it directly on the head. This shows how high the standard of external image is in this era.
At that time, Mu Nianci was in charge of this kind of wigs, so Mu Nianci not only bought all the high-end wigs in Xinlun Prefecture, but also purchased several sets specifically for Chu Qing in case Chu Qing used them on important occasions.
Gan Lai stole Chu Qing's wig, cut it into pieces and stuck it on his face with glue, turning it into a full face of whiskers. In Chu Yuan's words: "My face is not big originally, but this stickiness is like that of a monkey."
That’s almost it.”
No, it's better than a monkey. Monkeys don't stick to their eyebrows.
Gan Lai stole Chu Qing's iron-tied bow, which was not made in China and was wrapped with rag strips on the back. It looked gray and shabby, and went into the mountains with Xiaobao.
They were like hunters, with hares hanging on their waists, ropes and hunting bows on their backs, hunting forks in their hands, and eyes searching around their feet. Looking from a distance, they seemed to be looking for traces of prey.
In the sky, "Xiao Gan Gan" and "Lai Ah" were hovering silently above the two mountains respectively. As long as Xiao Bao and Gan Lai didn't blow their whistles, they couldn't come down, even if the silly roe deer was below.
prey.
The two golden eagles really want to complain.
Silly roe deer is the easiest delicacy to hunt, even easier than rabbits.
When the old rabbit is anxious, he will run close to the ground and suddenly turn, causing the golden eagle to hit a tree or get stuck on a wild vine, or it will lie down and kick the eagle.
The silly roe deer can only think of getting up and running when it is in front of it. Otherwise, the golden eagle can simply swoop down, stand on its back and start eating directly.
The silly roe deer was in pain and could not run away, nor could it escape the control of its sharp claws. It just stood there and served as a snack to the golden eagle.
