With a pop, Xie Changyuan struck out like lightning. Before the grass carp could take the initiative to bite, he thrust his finger into its mouth. Then he bent his finger and pierced the weakest layer of the fish's mouth with his fingertips, taking advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation.
A seven-pound grass carp was lifted out of the water.
Xie Changyuan laughed happily.
He slapped the grass carp to death, threw it not far behind him, and then continued in the same way, catching four or five fat fish in half a day.
Xie Changyuan's hands were as big as his fingers and looked like a big worm when placed in the water. Compared with tiny earthworms, they were more able to attract the attention of big fish. Therefore, the four or five fish he caught weighed an average of seven or eight kilograms, which was heavier than the two just now.
A hunter caught a fish that was even bigger.
Of course, Xie Changyuan was lucky enough to use this method of fishing, and his fingers were strong and he was not afraid of being bitten. Others would not dare to try it easily.
Four or five big fat fish lay on the ground. Xie Changyuan looked around. There was nothing but grass here to make a fire. Moreover, even if a fire started, it might accidentally burn the grass next to it, causing a series of huge fires.
After thinking again and again, Xie Changyuan tightened his stomach and prepared to continue heading south. He was going to go some distance to find a place suitable for making a fire. There were some risks that he simply couldn't take.
As he thought, Xie Changyuan pulled some dead grass from the side, braided a rough grass rope, tied up a few fish and hung them around his waist, and walked south with a smile on his face.
Walking through the grass along the way, Xie Changyuan looked into the distance. Although he could not see the end, at least there was food around him, and his physical fitness was very good. After refining his body with refined iron, he could withstand hunger. Even if he was hungry for three days, he would still have enough energy to fight again.
Take a walk.
Until sunset, Xie Changyuan cleared a pile of dead grass and saw what seemed to be a forest at the end of his field of vision, and he was immediately happy.
"That's enough to cross the grass." He thought to himself.
After taking a look at the grass carp at his waist, he quickened his pace and walked out of the grassland soon.
Just as he was thinking about finding some dry firewood to live on, Xie Changyuan's expression suddenly froze and he took a quick sniff with the tip of his nose.
"The smell of blood." He looked around cautiously.
There was a smell of blood here, and with the help of the remaining sunlight, he didn't see any corpses nearby. He didn't know whether the dead people were humans or animals, but the number should not be many.
Xie Changyuan raised one hand and held the hilt of the broken sword on his back, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
He moved softly, alert to the disturbance around him, and walked forward slowly.
When he entered the woods, he soon saw a corpse lying under a big tree. The animal skin looked familiar. When he thought about it again, wasn't it the old hunter he met by the pond earlier?
The smell of blood was the strongest here, so it must be the scene of the crime. Xie Changyuan approached cautiously, wary of any traps under his feet.
It was only when he came to the side of Orion's body that he could clearly see the tragic death of this man.
The dense stab wounds on the body showed that he was besieged by several people and then hacked to death. Blood flowed all over the ground. Perhaps because he had just died so recently, he had not provoked any wild animals yet.
Looking to the side, I saw a woman's hand hanging limply behind a big tree.
Xie Changyuan went around and found that the girl next to the old hunter was also dead. She was completely naked, her clothes were torn and thrown aside, her face was full of fear and tears, and she died with her eyes closed.
"Alas." Xie Changyuan closed his eyes and sighed.
These two people must have encountered a catastrophe, as their belongings and fish baskets were all taken away, and they were tortured greatly before they died.
Xie Changyuan couldn't bear to see the girl naked after her death, so he picked up the coarse cloth and put it on the girl.
It was impossible for him to bury them in the soil. Firstly, they were not relatives, and secondly, it was just sunset, and Xie Changyuan had already heard the howling of wolves in the distance. Once night fell, the smell of blood here would attract wild beasts.
Come on, even if you bury it for them, it will still be dug out and eaten by these animals, so why bother?
Xie Changyuan did what he could, and stood up and walked into the depths of the forest, hoping to find a place to stay quickly. Although he was not afraid, he did not want to sleep in the wilderness for a night.
Silent all the way, Xie Changyuan walked alone in the dark night. Because the sky was full of dark clouds and there was no light in the woods, he could only wander around in the woods based on his feelings.
When he was completely sure that he couldn't go out tonight, he simply found an open space to settle down, picked up some firewood, made a bonfire by drilling wood, and grilled fish alone.
At night, a pack of wolves once approached, but they were afraid of the bonfire and did not dare to go forward, but they did not leave.
After all, Xie Changyuan is a big man, and in the eyes of wild beasts, he is the kind of person who feels full just by looking at him, enough for a pack of wolves like them.
Xie Changyuan didn't care at first, but after he lay down, he always felt something was wrong. He felt that his back was hairy when he was being stared at by these things while he was sleeping. At that moment, he suddenly burst into flames, like a black and evil lightning, rushing into the pack of wolves and grabbing the back of the head wolf's neck.
skin, tearing it in half with a hiss.
Then, like a strong wind, he kicked the heads of several large male wolves around him, and finally scared the wolves away.
In this way, he lay back quietly by the campfire.
In fact, he also knew that in addition to this group of wolves, there were many things secretly watching him in the dark night. He would deliberately get angry and attack a group of wolves, while scaring away other things in the night.
Fortunately, his method was effective. Nothing else happened that night. After filling his stomach, Xie Changyuan had a good sleep. When a ray of sunlight shined into the woods the next day, Xie Changyuan got up, packed up, and set off again.
On the mountain road, he met an old woman. The latter had a hoarse voice and her shabby clothes were covered with mud. She cautiously asked Xie Changyuan if she had seen her son and granddaughter. Xie Changyuan made a little guess and told the truth about the situation of Orion and the girl.
After hearing this, the old woman looked dazed and muttered. She ignored Xie Changyuan and staggered towards the woods.
Xie Changyuan wanted to stop him, but thought about it but stopped because through conversation, he learned that there were only three members of his family within a hundred miles. His son and granddaughter were dead, and it would be difficult for her to survive at such an old age.
Moreover, it is impossible for Xie Changyuan to take care of her, so he might as well just let her be.
The two said goodbye and went their separate ways. Not long after they walked out, Xie Changyuan turned around. The old woman was no longer on the winding mountain road. He no longer hesitated and ran forward quickly. Soon he left the woods.
, there is an open space in front of you.
Ten miles further ahead is the town, where people gather.
