Most of the attention of these hunters was on the powerful Zhang Lu, not because they had any malicious intentions, but because Zhang Lu was still running quickly outside wearing only thin clothes in such a snowy weather.
He obviously has real abilities.
On the other hand, Zhang Jian's clothes were thick and tight. Although he had a sword on his waist, he looked much frailer.
"Langjun, it smells so good!"
At this time, Zhang Lu had already smelled the aroma. There was a small, uneven pot on the bonfire, and the pot was full of milky white soup. Zhang Lu's throat was throbbing when he saw it.
The master and the servant have been eating dry food and preserved fruits on the mountain these days. Zhang Jian didn't care, but Zhang Lu couldn't bear it.
Zhang Jian did not stick to etiquette and said with a smile.
"Thank you to some friends for your kindness. I happen to be hungry too. We also have some dry food and preserved fruits here. Let's eat them together with the thick soup!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly and motioned to Zhang Lu next to him to take out the dry food from the bag.
It contains not only preserved fruits, but also rare nuts.
Several hunters were not polite when they saw this, and each took a part.
Zhang Jian also casually explained his origins, saying that he came to Beijing to take the exam. The hunters were secretive at first, but after the group got acquainted with each other, they couldn't help but reveal their origins.
But he is a hunter who fled into the mountains.
"Mr. Lang, to be honest, we are hunters in Zhoujia Village down here. It's just that the government is harsh and everyone comes to the mountains because they can't survive. Otherwise, whoever goes to the mountains to hunt at this time will be tortured in the wind and snow.
!”
Several hunters nodded in agreement at this time, but they were still optimistic!
The leading hunter named Zhou Ye took out a dry tobacco bag with some history at this time. He carefully took out a piece of tobacco from it and mixed it with some yellow grass blades. He carefully took a sip. It seemed that it was too bitter, and his sallow face wrinkled.
Got up.
He smiled bitterly:
"There are many hardships in the mountains, but the foot of the mountain is not a place for people to stay. There are only slightly grown-up men in our Zhoujia Village, and even in the surrounding villages and towns. Most of them were captured by the government and turned into strong men and sent to fight with the bandits. Fortunately,
If we survive and wait until those bandits arrive, they will also take away the adult men. We have no choice but to hide in this mountain and take refuge in the mountains!"
Several hunters were squatting by the campfire, looking a little silent.
After a moment, one of the older ones, Orion Wang, laughed and said.
"We are lucky enough to have some skills in our hands, either good at hunting or good at healing injuries. After this period of time passes, maybe we can go back down the mountain and go home again!"
The other five hunters nodded, with hope in their eyes.
Next to Zhang Jian, Zhang Lu had a look of admiration on his face:
"The craftsmanship of the hunting brothers is certainly unparalleled. In such a cold weather, we wandered around the mountains for several days without being able to find prey, but these brothers were still able to achieve such harvests. I think they can do this.
not much!"
Zhang Lu glanced into the depths of Fairy Rock at this time.
There are a lot of prey piled up there.
Hares are the most common, but there are also foxes and even gray wolves. Although the prey individuals are not large, there are many of them.
When several hunters heard this, they couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, a thunder suddenly flashed in front of the cliff. Looking from the foot of the mountain, in the pouring rain in front of us, it was like a thunder and lightning piercing the sky and the earth.
The sound of thunder made everyone's smile fade.
Quietly looking at the thunder outside the sky and the earth.
But Zhang Jian suddenly frowned and looked at a path next to Fairy Rock in the darkness.
At some point, an invisible layer of mist suddenly appeared in the mountains.
In the darkness, the fog is difficult to see with the naked eye.
But in the eyes of immortal cultivators like Zhang Jian, there is nothing to hide.
There was a chill in his eyes.
But not long after, I heard a strange sound of footsteps coming from the darkness.
This sudden sound also attracted the attention of several hunters.
"Is there a wild animal approaching?"
Several hunters subconsciously held the bows and arrows on their backs, and several hunters looked at the trail in front of the mountain with vigilance.
The elder Mr. Zhou frowned and said in a deep voice, "I shouldn't have. I smeared some ferocious beast excrement in front of the mountain road. Ordinary beasts wouldn't dare to approach?"
He also glanced at Zhang Jian's master and servant next to him.
But he saw Zhang Lu also stood up, but he was only standing behind Zhang Jian, not in front of him, which made him look slightly surprised.
Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, he just glanced into the depths of the darkness and hummed softly. A thick bronze light bloomed from the depths of his eyes, and many voices that were about to move in the darkness suddenly retreated slowly.
The scary atmosphere gradually disappeared in the mountains.
After the few hunters felt that there was no other sound in the darkness for a short period of time, they breathed a sigh of relief.
But he saw Zhang Jian next to him suddenly raised his head and looked towards the mountain path.
But there was a sound of footsteps, and soon a figure wearing a bamboo hat and a cane slowly walked out of the darkness. It was an old man who looked older, but there were two pink-made jade figures beside him.
A cute little girl.
Seeing a group of three people suddenly walking out of the darkness, several hunters were a little surprised and a little wary at the same time.
At this moment, an old man and two young men actually walked out. Anyone with a normal sense would be able to sense the strangeness in this.
At this time, the old man first glanced at the six hunters, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Jian's master and servant. Especially when facing Zhang Jian, his brows were furrowed.
He glanced at the prey in the corner and smiled.
"The little old man and his two granddaughters passed by here and missed the place to stay. Can you guys make a place for the little old man, grandson and grandson to stay for one night?"
"this……"
The six hunters frowned at this time, but did not dare to agree easily.
Zhang Jian saw the hesitant expressions of the six hunters and said calmly: "This was originally the place where a few hunter brothers lived. I am a guest and I shouldn't say anything. But since I have already come in, I will stay here."
Just one night!”
Hearing this, several hunters looked at each other, and Master Zhou pondered for a moment before saying, "Ms. Zhang is right. Since we are already here, old man, please come in. There is still some food here!"
At this time, he looked cautious, but he still used the extra bowl next to him to help him get a bowl of soup, but he just placed it on the stone bench far away.
But the old man with the bamboo hat just glanced at it and ignored it. Instead, he took his two granddaughters to the fire beside him and dusted off the snowflakes on his body.
Seeing everyone's gaze, he smiled.
"Little old man, like all of you, we were originally from Yinshan. You suffered from military disasters, but we suffered from man-made disasters!"
Having said this, he sighed and said:
"Our family used to live and work in peace and contentment, growing up in a mountain valley in the west of Yinshan Mountain. The family was lively and lively. But at some point, evil people suddenly broke into the mountains, killing, wounding, and looting. Our huge family suddenly broke up!"
"Now only the little old man and his two granddaughters are left to depend on each other!"
Hearing this, one of the young hunters couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this the west of Yinshan Mountain where we often hunt? But there are no people there, and there are only jackals, tigers and leopards around?"
Several hunters also looked at each other, but in an instant, Master Zhou's face changed, and he stood up suddenly, his whole body was cold, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He stared intently at the old man and the two silent granddaughters beside him.
