In the evening, Canghai moved the hunting thing out, carefully inspected it, polished it, and worked until midnight. Finally, everything that needed to be prepared was ready. After that, he picked up the shiny knife in his left hand and the sharp arrow in his right hand, and sighed: "Old friends

, this year my father and son will eat meat or drink wind, it depends on you. Don’t let my dad paint pancakes for half the winter to satisfy his hunger like last year."

He looked back and saw that the light was still shining through Cang Baizhong's room, and he shouted: "Dad, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Cang Baizhong said: "There's no rush. Just go to sleep first."

Canghai walked into his room and saw Cang Baizhong leaning on the edge of the bed, holding a few counters in his right hand and looking intently at a piece of paper on the ground in front of him. The paper was densely written with numbers. Canghai said: "You

Are you thinking about this again?"

Cang Baichong didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "I'm a useless person. Besides earning some money by teaching arithmetic, what else can I do?"

Canghai felt sad and said: "My son is useless, I have to let you earn your own wine."

Cang Baizhong said: "You are just an adult. If you work hard, you will have a chance." He scratched the paper in his hand and said: "Fate is unfair to me. I don't believe that my son is like this."

Canghai clenched his fists, raised his chest and said proudly: "If fate is unfair to you, my son will change this fate! If fate is also unfair to me, my son will break this destiny!"

Cang Baizhong said calmly: "Hey, it's really childish, but it's easy to say it. What do you want to change? What do you rely on to break it? Do you rely on your hunting knife for killing rabbits?"

Canghai was speechless immediately and his face turned red with embarrassment. Cangbaizhong said: "Go to bed and don't worry about me. Tomorrow I will go to Daniel's house to teach his son arithmetic. He asked his son to sell silkworms, and his son did arithmetic.

He was very angry because he was short of a tael of silver."

Canghai agreed and stood watching him draw the piece of paper. He was dizzy and couldn't figure out why. He didn't like learning this thing by nature, and his father never took the initiative to teach him, so even though he was watching him, he didn't like it.

After more than ten years, I finally knew nothing about it. I shook my head and went back to my room to sleep.

Early the next morning, at dawn, Ji San came over and called the door. Cang Hai shouldered his sword and arrows, went out and saw him alone, and asked, "Third brother, aren't the others in the village going?"

Ji San said: "They say that if there are more people to fight, more people will divide, and there will not be much more. Besides, some people contribute more, and some people have less credit, but things must be divided equally. Those who contribute more will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Forget it. We brothers will score as many points as we want, so we don’t have to worry about it that much."

Canghai smiled and said: "That's true. My family is out of food, so why don't I eat and drink from you every day?"

Ji San said: "As a family, we don't talk about life and death."

The two got ready and set off. Hongxia Village relies on the vast mountains. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, so the locals call them Yunwu Mountains. As the saying goes, "we rely on the mountains to eat mountains, and we rely on water to eat water." There are many birds and animals in Yunwu Mountains, which have fed the surrounding villages for generations.

another generation

Man. However, Yunwu Mountain is extremely deep. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. It is surrounded by ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, and miasma. Most hunters only hunt in the front mountain. Only a few dare to go deep into the back mountain. As for those who dare to go deeper after the back mountain.

Most of them will never come out.

The two wandered around the front mountain for a long time, with little harvest, and only shot one pheasant. There were many traces of traps in the jungle. Ji San said: "This front mountain has indeed been hunted by the neighboring village, and the animals that escaped the trap probably also escaped.

Went to the back mountains."

Canghai said: "Killing them all like this really leaves no one with a way to survive."

Ji San said: "There is no way, we can't go back empty-handed. Let's walk further inside. If the number of roads is wrong, just retreat quickly."

The two continued to walk deeper into the mountain. At first, there were trails opened by hunters to lead the way. As they walked, the surrounding trees became thicker, vines entangled, and clumps dominated the road. Gradually, no trace of human activity could be seen. Occasionally, poisonous insects passed by, and they smelled

The smell of yellow medicine on both of them

, even if they retreated, they never launched an attack. When they passed a mountain col, there was no wind, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the footsteps and breathing of the two. Even though the two were born to be with the jungle, at this moment

I couldn't help but feel panic in my heart.

Fortunately, they later hunted a gazelle, and with the prey, their uneasiness subsided. The two cleared a clearing, disembowelled the gazelle, roasted it over a fire, and ate until full. The remaining meat was cut into small pieces.

block, dry the blood, and put it into a backpack.

At this time, the sun was setting and the fog in the forest was getting thicker. The two set up several animal traps near the fire, then climbed up a big tree nearby, cut off the vines, and sprinkled yellow medicine everywhere to drive away insects and ants.

A resting place was built among the branches.

There were no dangers along the way as they had imagined, and the two of them felt relieved. As night fell, the gloomy scenes during the day were lost in the darkness, making them seem less scary. The two of them were lying on a big tree, and there was nothing.

They chatted about daily life together. Canghai said: "Third brother, have you ever thought about going out to make a living?"

Ji San said: "My ancestors have been living in this mountain for generations. I don't know what it's like outside, and I don't want to go. Wherever my roots are, I will be there. You are different. I heard the older generation say that your father

He is a migrant, so he must have worked outside."

Canghai said: "Well, he did mention it, and he didn't stay out for long. Later, something happened while hunting, so he stayed in the village. It was in this forest that he encountered an evil beast and was bitten to death.

Hands and feet.”

Ji San said: "Uncle Bai Zhong would have been an excellent hunter if this had not happened."

Although the resting place chosen by the two men was high, there were many beasts in the forest that could climb trees and hunt for food. That night, the two men took turns to keep watch for most of the night, and then got up again in the second half of the night to take over. During this period, they could hear the roars of beasts in the forest from time to time, and even

An animal swooped across the bottom of the tree. Ji San gripped the handle of the knife tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

When the darkness gradually faded and the sky began to light up, Ji San breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to go down the tree to explore, Canghai suddenly woke up and exclaimed: "A big guy is coming."

Although the morning light was already falling, the fog in the forest was still very heavy, and it was not clear to the eyes even five steps away. Ji San listened for a moment, shook his head and said, "Where? I'm afraid you heard wrong."

Canghai said: "That's right. About two hundred steps ahead, that thing walked very carefully and slowly, and now it has stopped."

Ji San knew that his sense of the five senses was different from ordinary people. When he was a child, he followed the adults when hunting, and he could see the prey that was difficult for adults to see. Therefore, he did not dare to take it lightly. He slowly leaned down and watched the changes.

The mist stirred with the breathing of the two people, birds chirped in the morning, and there was a faint crisis in the air where the sun was just beginning to show.

After a long while, there was still no movement. Ji San couldn't help but said: "This guy is so quiet, but what kind of beast is he?"

Canghai made a hissing gesture and said, "Here he comes."

There was a bird in front that was frightened and took off, but it wasn't until the thing was twenty steps away that Ji San really saw the other person's figure. It was a huge four-legged animal, more than three meters tall and an unknown length. At first glance,

It looks like a tiger, but it has sharp horns on its head and its steps are very light, which is very different from a tiger.

The beast slowly walked to the big tree where the two of them were hiding, and suddenly stood still. Their hearts were beating wildly, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, feeling a sense of foreboding coming over them.

I saw the beast resting its front paws on the tree, standing up, and roaring towards the tree for the first time!

Ouch——!
