On the rugged mountain road, a pheasant, perhaps frightened by the sound of horse hooves, flapped its wings and flew out of the snow nests on both sides of the road.
However, before it could fly very far, it was shot through by an arrow from the sky. Its outstretched wings trembled feebly twice, and then it fell heavily from mid-air!
"Good accuracy! We have chicken to eat tonight!"
Behind him, a young man wearing a suit and a ball laughed loudly, and with a grin on his face, he quickly rushed forward and brought back the pheasant with a long arrow stuck in it.
Although the pheasant meat in this mountain forest is very good and far less plump than the old domestic hens, it is already a rare treat to drink a bowl of steaming chicken soup on this cold and freezing journey. How dare you ask for too much?
?
There is no doubt that these people are Xiao Han and others. In the blink of an eye, they have been in the mountain for five or six days.
At this time, they had already entered the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains. Here, let alone people, not even a dog could be seen. Coupled with the heavy snowfall two days ago, the whole world in front of them turned into a vast expanse of white.
.
Heavy snow closed the mountains, which made the journey for Xiao Han and his party even more difficult. In many places, even the horses did not dare to ride, so they could only get down and lead them, trying to trickle through bit by bit, for fear of missing the mark and falling off.
mountain road.
Of course, traveling on a snowy day is not without its benefits. At least you don’t have to worry about water sources. When it’s time to eat, just scoop up two basins of snow and it will melt into the cleanest water. Whether it’s for cooking or drinking, there will be no
question.
It is said that some particular people at this time would collect snow water and store it in winter so that it could be used for making tea and decoction later. Moreover, they even named it rootless water. Xiao Han heard that
Later, I was convinced.
Well, drink it hard! It's okay now. But in a few years, when the world is full of big chimneys, these things will be real rootless water. If you drink it, your teeth will rot!
Xiao Han and others were well prepared for this trip into the mountains, so there was no shortage of food along the way. The carts loaded with supplies contained not only rice and noodles, but also a lot of dried meat.
However, those hard, dry dried meats are no match for fresh meat, so along the way, whenever you encounter mountain jumpers or pheasants, you cannot escape their clutches.
One of the luckiest times, they even hunted a wild boar, but the wild boar was really not that big. After removing the pig's head, which took up almost half of its body, the remaining meat was only enough for all of them to eat.
I don’t know why this good pig has such a big head. It’s not smart to have such a big head. Seeing that there are so many of them, they dare to rush forward stupidly. Now it’s better, the skin has been peeled off.
, the meat was eaten, and even a pair of big fangs were regarded as trophies by Xiao Han, who took them out to play with from time to time.
As night falls, the stars are shining brightly.
The bright moonlight shines on the snow, making everything around it look hazy, which is particularly poetic and picturesque. If you don't look at the chicken bones scattered all over the ground...
"It's getting late, go to bed!"
After a delicious dinner, Liu Hongji stretched himself and went into Xiao Han's tent as a habit.
But this time, he didn't get in as usual, because Xiao Han had already been there, blocking the door of the small tent tightly.
"What are you doing!? A good dog doesn't block the road!" Liu Hongji, who was unable to get into the tent as he wished, was very angry and rubbed his head and glared at Xiao Han.
"I'm sorry! This place is full today!" In the tent, Xiao Han crossed his arms and snorted unceremoniously.
He would never sleep with this beast again even to death!
This bastard, he burped, farted and talked in his sleep all night! Coupled with his smelly feet that were like poisonous gas bombs, Xiao Han felt that if he was in the same tent with him again, he would die in it.
"What are you talking about? Hey? You are not very interesting! Why don't you just sleep for a night? You are not a young girl!" Liu Hongji stared at Xiao Han who was like a door god, and he was very disapproving. Why don't you just sleep for a night?
Are you sleeping? Where you sleep is not sleeping? Who you sleep with is not who? As for being so pretentious? Think about it on the battlefield, with their robes pillowed on the enemy's corpse, wouldn't they also sleep as soundly as they did?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Han still shook his head: "No! You'd better go and disgust Ren Qing! I can't stand you!"
"Get out! I can't stand him either!"
Xiao Han had just finished speaking, and before Liu Hongji had time to speak, a cold voice came out of Ren Qing's tent opposite, followed by the sound of the tent door being sealed. It seemed that today
It won't be opened at night.
"A bunch of scoundrels who are greedy for profit! Where's the promised brotherhood?" He was being disliked one after another. When Liu Hongji saw this, he immediately got very angry and jumped to his feet and cursed!
These bastards are usually the elder brother and the younger brother, but at critical moments, none of them can be relied on!
However, no matter how Liu Hongji cursed, it seemed that there was no hope for these two tents. Poor old Liu had no choice but to share a tent with his younger brother, Mr. Chen.
The moon is at the zenith.
There was already loud snoring in Xiao Han's camp. They were all young and strong men. They all looked like dead pigs when they slept. It is estimated that even a kick would be difficult to wake them up at this time.
And just when everyone in the camp fell into a deep sleep, more than a hundred unkempt and disheveled men had quietly slid down the mountainside!
"stop!"
Ahead, I saw a figure moving on the snow. The man who noticed this reached out his hand to stop the brother behind him, quietly looked at the camp below, and then led the man and quietly walked sideways.
These people who suddenly appeared in the Qinling Mountains are undoubtedly the bandits who attacked Nanyang City a few days ago!
That day, they fled into the Qinling Mountains in panic and were separated. After two days of gathering and reunion by caring people, they were reunited.
"Boss! Second brother said these people have a lot of money, can it be true?"
Quietly stopping halfway up the mountain, a thief quietly asked the big man next to him.
"Nonsense!" The big man stared at the large cars below with a trace of greed in his eyes.
The last time they were ambushed in Nanyang City, their vitality was severely damaged. Not only half of the brothers died in the battle, but even the third leader died on the spot!
Not to mention, most of the food and equipment they prepared were lost during the escape. Now, they were really at the end of their rope. Therefore, when they heard that the second master had discovered a group of wealthy businessmen passing through the Qinling Mountains, they immediately ordered their hands.
