Chapter 9 Tiger Roaring in the Mountain Forest
Wu Nian was not angry.
The original owner was a bad gambler, a bad drunkard, and almost a loser. Let alone go hunting in the mountains.
Hunters are not born and require a lot of experience, skills, and knowledge.
Although Liu Xiang's incident of jumping into a well changed Chen's impression of him, it was only in terms of his character.
In Chen's eyes, his childhood sweetheart is still an ordinary person, even less than an ordinary person.
"That's not up to you." Wu Nian couldn't prove his ability now. After smiling, he left the east room and went to the west room. He knew that the bow was hanging there.
"I took the bow away. I will be back soon. I will also find a way to cure your illness, don't worry." Wu Nian laughed, took the bow, and left in large strides.
Chen looked at Wu Nian in disbelief, how could he be so tough?
You know, the original owner didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of her. Now he not only robbed her of her bow, but also spoke loudly to her.
"Don't go, Xiaonian, you will die." Chen struggled to get up, chased after her, and took the bow back, but she collapsed on the bed helplessly.
"Mother, mother, don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Li Ya was frightened and rushed over to support Chen, using her little hands to help Chen calm down.
She complained about Wu Nian in her heart. This hateful Uncle Wu made my mother angry.
"Amitabha. I hope he is safe and well." Mrs. Chen gradually calmed down, smiled bitterly, touched her daughter's forehead, and then recited "Amitabha."
After Wu Nian left the Chen family courtyard, he first returned to the courtyard of Hu'er's house next door. He sincerely asked Hu'er's mother to take care of Liu Xiang during his absence, and the other party agreed.
That day, Wu Nian began to make some preparations. Early the next morning, Wu Nian made sufficient preparations. He carried a huge bamboo basket on his back and packed some necessities for survival, a large black bow, and twenty arrows.
Ya, there is a sharp knife slung on the left waist.
Before leaving, Wu Nian came to Liu Xiang's bedroom in the West Room. Liu Xiang closed her eyes tightly and lay on the bed to sleep. Her complexion looked much better than before.
Wu Qingnian gently stroked Liu Xiang's face. It didn't have the tenderness of a girl, but the hardness of bones.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Wu Young said softly, then turned to look at Hu'er Niang and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll leave Xiang'er to you."
Tiger Girl was a kind-hearted person. She nodded and reminded: "Be careful. The mountains are dangerous now. The main thing is to protect your life. If you have life, you can always survive."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Wu Nian did not explain much.
This time he will definitely hunt back a lot of prey, make his family prosperous, and change his impression on the neighbors.
After leaving his courtyard, Wu Nian looked at the sky. There was plenty of sunlight in the morning, but the heat was very low.
His frail body shuddered slightly, and after exhaling a mouthful of white mist, he strode towards the east.
The road was still the same. Pedestrians in front of him were avoiding him one after another, as if they were avoiding the god of plague.
He didn't care, and soon left the east gate of Beishan Fort. After walking for a while along the relatively wide road, he came to a mountain, and in front of him were continuous peaks, each of which was covered by more or less
Little snow cover.
Now is the season.
Food for all animals is scarce, just like what Chen said.
Jackals, tigers and leopards are all hungry.
After entering the mountain, Wu Nian felt very tired, his face was red, and his body was too weak. He tried his best to adjust his breathing so as not to make a loud gasping sound.
He walked cautiously, his ears erect, and he looked around to check for possible prey. But he was disappointed. Perhaps it was because the mountain was too close to Beishan Fort and there was no prey.
Wu Nian was not discouraged. He stepped on the thick white snow and climbed over three mountains. At noon, he reached an inaccessible mountain.
Wu Nian's eyes were fixed, showing a little joy. About fifty meters ahead, there was a thin-looking gray rabbit, looking for food everywhere.
The rabbit was very alert and stopped from time to time to look around.
Wu Nian hid behind a big tree and took out the big black bow from the bamboo basket.
The power of a bow is not fixed.
In the Great Chu Kingdom, one stone is equal to one hundred and twenty kilograms.
The Chen family's bow is a stone bow.
The range is about one hundred meters.
Wu Nian put the arrow on the bowstring and stretched it to a full circle with great difficulty. He almost used all his strength to draw the arrow.
With trembling arms, he aimed at the rabbit. Fortunately, his eyesight was not weak and he had experience in shooting a bow in his previous life.
"Whoosh!" With a sound, the black arrow whistled, and then hit the rabbit accurately. It passed through the ribs and was firmly pinned to the ground.
The poor little gray rabbit kicked around and soon became silent.
Wu Nian did not sympathize with food, so he rushed over very vigorously and caught the rabbit.
"How can you eat less meat when you go into the mountains?" Wu Nian added to his lips, stuffed the rabbit into the bamboo basket, took out some dry food, and ate it with water.
After he was full, Wu Nian continued on his way to find his next target.
It's not easy to go into the mountains at one time. You have to pack one or two hundred kilograms of meat before you can go back.
In the middle of the afternoon, Wu Nian found a cave. He checked first to make sure there was no animal feces in the cave, and he found traces of human activities.
This cave may have been a resting place for hunters.
Experienced hunters have fixed routes and shelters.
Wu Nian took advantage of the time before dark to clean up the rabbit on the nearby mountain stream, picked up a lot of dry firewood, and even built a fence outside the cave to prevent accidents.
The fence is to guard against jackals, tigers and leopards. The bonfire cannot be stopped tonight, both for warmth and to drive away wild beasts.
After taking care of it, it was almost evening. Wu Nian took out the Huozhezi, put it to his mouth and blew it gently.
After lighting the bonfire, Wu Nian skewered the rabbit, sprinkled some salt on it, and started grilling the meat.
Hungry secreted a lot of saliva, and Wu Nian swallowed it unsatisfactorily. It had been a while since he traveled through time, but he had never eaten any good food.
All the lean meat I bought recently was fed to Liu Xiang.
Eating meat can make you strong. Only a strong body can better adapt to the life here.
The rabbit meat was only sprinkled with salt, so it didn't taste very good. But Wu Nian still ate it, leaving only the bare bones.
After eating, he rolled up the blanket he brought and began to sleep. Then he would wake up from the cold from time to time and get up to add firewood to make the bonfire burn vigorously again.
In the middle of the night, Wu Nian woke up. However, he was not woken up by the cold, but by a startle.
A strong one.
An enlarged version of the big cat with gold gradient.
The thing commonly known as the Siberian tiger looked directly at him.
