The first thousand three hundred and forty-six chapters
After the annual sacrifice is completed, Moro will return to the company with the harvested medicinal materials. The profit of this small company is the largest input in the village. In his words, one person's philistine exchange for the simplicity of the whole village is worth it.
Already.
Moro is a businessman. He has a different way of thinking from other people in the village. Only businessmen who understand the world can accurately grasp business opportunities. He guessed that the two divine envoys would leave the village today and made preparations early.
The mountain road is difficult to travel, so the pony brought by Moro is the best means of transportation. Although this horse is short in stature, it has a strong frame and strong strength. It is unambiguous for a horse to carry two hundred kilograms of goods over mountains and lows. Master and servant
Each of them rode a pony, and they had a companion to talk to on the road, which added a lot of fun to the journey.
The black girl Moli was taciturn along the way, and the small pistol on her waist was replaced by a hand crossbow. I heard from Moluo that there are many wolves in the mountains this season, and bear bears that are about to hibernate often come out to make trouble. They are the parents of humans and horses.
It’s good food for fattening. I originally planned to ask a few strong village men to escort me. With Molly accompanying me, I can take care of several of them. As long as I don’t encounter a group of beasts, I can handle it. Maybe I can get some fresh ones.
fur.
Xu Qing didn't take the beast seriously. With Wang Chao by his side, he didn't have to worry about these problems at all. If Lao Hanbao carried him and galloped and jumped in the mountains, he might be able to reach a village with people before dark. Now he would definitely have to ride a horse.
Spent one night in the mountains.
Moro was very familiar with the terrain in the mountains. When it was getting dark, he led the horse team to a mountain col. There was a large piece of flat ground here, which was most suitable for tent camping. The col had a name, called Buffalo Valley, and there were piles of them everywhere.
Pile dry cow dung, and the bison will follow the grass and return here only in the following spring. By then, the cow dung may be covered with grass and flowers.
Moro was a good tent builder and quickly set up four tents. He picked up a lot of dry firewood along the way and built a bonfire. He also picked up a few dried cow dung cakes and threw them into the fire.
It will burn until tomorrow morning.
It is very important to spend the night in the mountains with a fire, not only to keep away the cold but also to scare away the hungry beasts. Moro was already prepared to spend the night in the mountains. Two deerskin bags contained fresh meat brushed with oil sauce and skewers.
Get up and put it on the fire, sprinkle some fine salt evenly while roasting, and soon you will smell a strong aroma of meat, even if it is combined with a faint smell of cow dung, no one will care.
Xu Qing was sitting next to the bonfire. The barbecue on the wooden shelf was squeaking due to the flames. The oil droplets dripped into the fire, raising wisps of smoke. If nothing happened during the process, at the latest
I will be able to take a flight back to Jiangcheng tomorrow afternoon, but my mood has become complicated inexplicably.
Moro took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and gave them to Xu Qing. He smiled and said, "Master Divine Envoy, this is for you."
Xu Qing picked up the cigarette and took a look at it. It was the brand he often smoked. He smiled lightly and said, "Thank you. Don't call me God Envoy from now on. It sounds awkward. Just call me Xu Qing."
Moro smiled and nodded and said: "You are a person favored by the gods, so you are naturally the messenger of the gods. The old village chief has also prepared some local products for you. If it is convenient, please leave an address and I will send it to you later."
Xu Qing smiled and was about to say no when a dull sound of footsteps suddenly came from his ears, as if it was some heavy beast running. Molly stood up immediately by the fire and raised her index finger.
With a soft hiss among the people, he quickly took off the crossbow from his waist, walked forward a few steps quickly, and hid sideways behind a pony.
The smile on Moro's face suddenly faded, and he lowered his voice and said: "Two divine envoys, please be quiet and move your body towards the fire." While speaking, his hands were not idle, he grabbed the dry firewood on the side and quickly put it down.
Into the fire.
Xu Qing and Wang Chao looked at each other and moved to the fire as instructed. They didn't care what wild animals came, and since there was someone protecting them, there was no need to help them.
Miso miso miso - the sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Looking through the firelight, one could see two huge black figures approaching quickly. They were two adult bears. These two big guys were running extremely fast.
, in less than five minutes, he ran to a place less than ten meters away from the fire and stopped, tilting his big head to look at the three people beside the fire.
As the saying goes, one pig, two bears, three tigers, an adult bear in the mountains is more powerful than a tiger. This kind of stupid bully has almost no natural enemies in the mountains. They need to eat a lot of food at this time of year to prepare for the upcoming hibernation.
Be prepared for the period.
The two bears seemed to be afraid of the burning bonfire and hesitated to move forward. They turned their big heads to observe a few ponies not far from the fire. People around the fire could not eat, so it would be good to get a horse to fill their stomachs.
.
Bears are very smart animals. They roared a few times when facing each other. It looked like two friends talking to each other. Xu Qing, who was careful, found that the two bears were a male and a female. The male bear was bigger than the female.
The bear had grown a lot bigger and naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of hunting. It shook its head twice, then suddenly lowered its head and pounced forward and started running quickly.
Despite his heavy appearance, the bear is incredibly fast. The big male bear has only one target, the pony where Molly is hiding. In its opinion, horses are easier to capture than people. Just when it pounces and is not close to the pony,
When the horse was five meters away, a woman stood up from behind the horse, raised her arm and pointed a crossbow at its head.
The big male bear didn't seem to expect that there was someone hiding behind the horse. He paused for a moment and then started to pounce forward. The moment it pounced forward, Molly pulled the trigger of the crossbow without hesitation.
Living in the village, she had hunted a lot of wild animals. The bear in front of her not only did not bring any fear to her, but on the contrary, it made her inexplicably excited.
Whoosh! A crossbow arrow shot towards the center of Xiong Zhen's eyes with a sharp sound that broke through the air. As long as it hit the target, the sharp arrow would leave a hole in Xiong Zhen's forehead, and even the most ferocious beast would die on the spot.
The arrows were fast, and the big male bear's reaction speed was not slow either. He suddenly raised his thick big bear paw and slapped it in the face. Phew! The crossbow arrow that was shot was actually slapped by it and flew out horizontally. The trajectory of the flight was actually
Bonfire pile.
Molly didn't seem to expect that the big male bear would shoot the crossbow arrows, and the expression on her face was slightly stagnant. When she came back to her senses, the big male bear had already arrived beside the pony. The panicked pony pawed and screamed, and they were tied.
They were stuck on temporary ground piles, and no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free.
Roar! The big male bear opened his mouth and let out a low roar. He raised his front paws up and stood up. He turned around and slapped Molly who was standing behind the horse with his palms. This beast was quite smart and actually knew that the black girl behind the horse had just
I shot it with an arrow, and now I want to slap it back.
Huh! The bear's paw made a sound in the air, and slapped Molly's neck with an unparalleled force. If this blow was real, it could break a person's neck bones, and maybe even his head.
