Chen Wu has been in a very good mood in recent days, not just because he got rid of the female tiger that was killing his family, but because autumn comes, and most of the tigers, leopards and jackals in the mountains are industrious and rush to stock up on blood before the midwinter depression. Food survives the cold. Even ordinary hunters need to be careful when hunting in autumn to avoid being killed by tigers and wolves. Most chickens, rabbits, birds and deer are scarce in the mountains. They rarely go out to eat, all to avoid the hungry roving beasts.
But Chen Wu didn't spend much effort when he went out this time. He caught two or three fat rabbits that had changed into goose-yellow fur, five or six golden pheasants. Yesterday, he almost killed a wild deer with bright scalp, but he just followed the blood trail along the way. , but even after walking deep into the mountain stream, he still never saw the injured wild deer. In order to protect his life and avoid being invaded by tigers and wolves, he had to stop as a last resort.
In the depth of autumn, when the night falls on the mountain, the cold air never forgets to be carried around. From head to toe, everyone is injured by this cold air. After walking for three miles on the Yongling Terrace, the meridians throughout the body seem to be frozen solid by the autumn cold, not to mention that they cannot move. , if there is no warmth for a long time, the body will be severely damaged by the cold. Even Chen Wu, who is usually in good health, does not dare to go beyond the rules of the industry. He hurriedly lit a bonfire, picked up several piles of dry firewood, and surrounded the surroundings. It is placed next to the medium fire and slightly roasted to remove the moisture on the bow and knife.
Hunters pay special attention to the fact that in autumn there is usually a damp and cold atmosphere in the mountains. The knife in the scabbard is very easy to get rusty. Even if the back of the bow is slippery in the damp, it will often fall out of the hand when used in the future. Therefore, whenever you light a fire, you need to put the string on the bow arm. Bake them dry together to avoid missing or being unable to deal with tigers and wolves; surround them with firewood to avoid being attacked by wolves and snakes at night, so before taking a nap, you must light a bonfire around them to drive away the ferocious beasts. For warmth.
Having been hunting with a bow for nearly twenty years, Chen Wu naturally knows the rules. Even if he has never seen any trace of a tiger or wolf along the way, he still needs to pay more attention. Hunters are buried in the belly of tigers and leopards in their sleep, and hunters who use their bows to escape during a deadly fight , has always been common, so even if the silence in the mountains seems peaceful and ordinary, you still need to be patient and sleepy to arrange the surroundings in order to rest for a while.
Chen Wu closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, but he suddenly remembered the rumors in the village a while ago. It was said that someone had seen a woman in green clothes floating in during the fourth or fifth watch. Her figure was erratic, just like what she said. Zhongyanhun Ligui didn't hurt anyone, he just repeatedly asked about the name of a place. This incident frightened everyone in the village. A few days ago, a wandering Taoist priest who looked a bit treacherous was invited to go through the incense table three or five times, use a peach wood sword with a handle full of copper coins, and pretend to visit all directions. The Immortal family squirted wine into the talisman paper with a mouthful of wine, showing a simple grimace, saying that he had rid the village of ghosts, then collected the money and walked away.
In his early years, Chen Wu also imitated others and traveled around the world. Although he had no adventures and did not meet any immortals, just like what was written in the storybook, he used a clever trick to kidnap him into the immortal family. He shamelessly accepted him as his direct disciple, but after all, he had seen a lot of tricks in the world, and his skills had been honed several times. He was more than a star and a half better than before. He had already seen that the methods used by the wandering Taoist priest were clearly commonly used in the world. I couldn't help but sneer at this as a bluffing trick, but I didn't want to be scolded by my mother-in-law again, so I had to go out to avoid the limelight for a while.
"I think I once dreamed of traveling around the world, surrounded by heroines. Every time the sword came out, there were always some close friends or cuckold friends who would cheer endlessly. How could I be reduced to this now? It's really irritating. A little more." Looking at the thirty-year-old Orion, he crossed his legs and patted the mud on his trousers. He felt sleepy, but it was difficult to sleep peacefully.
"If your ambition is not fulfilled, then give it a try. At least if you can't make a name for yourself, and there is still a wife waiting for you at home, wouldn't it be a good thing to settle down and live your life at that time?"
Chen Wu was horrified. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, but except for the sound of words scattered in the wind, he couldn't see anything.
A woman floated in the cold wind from the mountains. Her body was like a withered leaf. She actually stood on the top of the tree with one foot on the top of the tree. She smiled at Chen Wu and then landed with the wind. She didn't care about any polite words and sat down. Around the campfire.
Chen Wu's throat rolled, he frowned and looked at her for a long time, and then asked, "Since the girl has a shadow, she is probably not a ghost. It's deep in the mountains at midnight, why are you not afraid of meeting bad people when you go up the mountain alone?"
"Who said that if there is a shadow behind you, it means it is not a ghost that has been around for a long time?" The woman, dressed in green clothes, waved her hands and said, "Not long ago, I went to various villages to find out the way, but I almost scared the people in the village to the point of losing their souls. , I found a fake Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts. It cost a lot of money, but I can't let these ordinary people spend money in vain, so I had to leave, but I don't know how I look like a ghost."
Chen Wu could only laugh twice, "The girl must be a little too skilled. People in the backwoods and remote areas have never seen such movements before. They come and go with the wind like dead leaves, so they will inevitably think about that."
The woman nodded, with a neutral look on her face, and said with a faint smile, "But I don't seem to have much fear when I see a young man like you. I wonder if I have seen ghosts or monsters with such skills."
"Having been in the world for two or three years, I have seen many seniors with excellent qinggong skills. It is no problem to walk on eaves and climb mountains. I probably can find a few seniors with the girl's skills, so it is not alarming. , I'm just wondering why I came here." Chen Wu remained calm, leaning his back covered in cold sweat towards the campfire behind him, barely suppressing his expression, and replied softly.
There are indeed countless masters of stepping on flowers and picking leaves in the world, but no one can compare with the woman in front of him. This kind of movement is really weird and tight. If he hadn't seen that this woman had no ill intentions, I am afraid that Chen Wu would have already grabbed the knife in his hand and grabbed the way. And go.
"Many people are afraid of all kinds of weird things in the world, such as ghosts and gods coming to their doorsteps, and evil minions trying to get in. But these ghosts and monsters are not necessarily as evil-minded as ordinary people. If they have a clear conscience, why should they be afraid?"
The woman in green didn't mind it at all, she went to the side of the bonfire and wrinkled her nose.
There were two or three roasted rabbits in the bonfire, all of which were golden. Chen Wu originally planned to use some after taking a nap, but he never expected that the woman was so unceremonious that she walked over and picked up the roasted rabbit without any politeness, her red lips parted slightly. After taking a few bites, he frowned and said, "This rabbit is not roasted under the fire at all. It is far worse than the ones I had many years ago."
"See what you are saying. It is the most difficult to master the heat of roasted fish and roasted rabbit. If you are not a cook who has been studying for more than ten years, you will probably not be able to make it as good and delicious as delicacies."
You know, that boy didn't even know how to use a cooking pot, but the roasted rabbit was always crispy.
"How many miles away is this place from Pehao Mountain?"
"This girl has asked the right person," Chen Wu pointed to the distance. "Climb over three mountains, cross three or two small pools, and walk slightly south for more than ten miles, you can see Baihao Mountain. It's not a big deal. Far."
