Never test the human heart, because the human heart cannot stand the test!
Since Lao Qiu said that money and status cannot win over people's hearts, he must have a reason. Xiao Han would never go against the experienced veterans on such a matter.
Taking advantage of the break on the road, Xiao Han summoned the rangers and reiterated the mission that they would only be responsible for exploration this time and would not face the enemy head-on.
In this way, everyone is indeed happy!
The ranger who was originally silent all the way finally smiled after Xiao Han finished speaking, and his eyes were not as twinkling as before.
After all, it’s your own family that knows your own affairs.
They are naturally not afraid of investigating the enemy's situation and blocking enemy spies!
But if they were to fight dozens or even hundreds of times as many soldiers!
Apart from death, they couldn't think of any other outcome.
In that case, what's the point of asking for money? What's the use of being an official? It's better to turn around and run away, leaving the green hills behind, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!
Heartbroken, those rangers gradually began to smile, no longer as lifeless as before.
As for Xiao Han's legs, they seemed to have adapted to this kind of rapid march. Apart from needing support from Xiaodong and Lengzi from time to time, they did not fall behind.
Of course, he is probably the only one who knows this: it is not that he has adapted, but that he has become completely numb...
Set off in the morning and arrive at the scheduled location in the afternoon.
Before he had time to look for Gouzi and the others, Xiao Han had already sat down on the ground, panting like an ox!
As for those knights-errants, they are not bad people.
Even after such a high-intensity journey, few people were tired at this time, and even most people were curious enough to walk around and survey the terrain.
"Brother Qiu, what are we doing here?"
After learning that this was today's destination, a ranger immediately came over to ask Lao Qiu.
Until now, they only knew how to follow Xiao Han. They didn't know anything else, including what they were doing and what dangers there were, so they couldn't help but feel nervous in their hearts.
"Wait, wait and you will find out!"
Lao Qiu naturally knew Xiao Han's plan, but it was impossible for him to tell these people, so he could only vaguely pass it by.
"You'll know when you wait? Wait until those thieves come, there's nowhere for us to run!" Several rangers were very dissatisfied with Lao Qiu's vague behavior, but Xiao Han was nearby, and they didn't dare to express it openly. After coming out, I could only return to the crowd angrily, pointing and whispering something.
Seeing this scene, Lao Qiu frowned slightly, and just as he was about to reorganize his team, a strange whistle sounded on the low mountain in front.
"Chirp chirp..."
The whistle sounded suddenly!
Although the rangers who were either gathered together or dispersed did not know what was going on, when they heard this unusual sound, they instinctively became nervous and looked around vigilantly!
What's more, they have been looking for the whistle, climbing to the side of the big rocks and tall trees, looking far away, trying to determine the source of the sound.
"Ahem, bro, you stepped on my hand!"
Wang Wu held a long knife, twisted his butt that was not fully healed, and was about to climb a short tree by the road! But suddenly I heard a voice coming from the bottom of my feet! He was so frightened that he took three steps back and almost fell to the ground!
"What!" Standing still in fear, Wang Wu hurriedly pulled out his big knife, pointed at the big tree in front of him that had lost all its leaves and shouted!
"Brother Wang Wu, what's wrong?" There were rangers around who didn't hear the strange voice, but looked at Wang Wu as if he had discovered something, so they rushed over to ask.
There were more people standing around, and Wang Wu suddenly gained some confidence. He swallowed, readjusted the hand holding the knife, and said, "I just heard the tree speak!"
"What?"
After hearing this, several rangers frowned involuntarily! Then he looked at Wang Wu suspiciously: "Can trees talk? Brother Wang, did you accidentally break your head while playing with a military stick two days ago?"
"Fart!" Wang Wu was furious when he heard the sound, and said furiously: "I spanked the butt, not the head! That tree really spoke just now, it said I stepped on its hand! If you don't believe me, I'll bet fifty military sticks !”
"Tread on its hand?" Several rangers did not accept Wang Wu's bet, but their eyes became more and more weird: "Well, to be honest, where does this tree have hands? If you really want to step on it, you must also step on my branch!"
"Uncle Zhi! How long has it been and you are still being poor? If you don't believe it, watch me chop down this tree and let you hear it!"
Maybe it was the looks of fools from the people around that irritated Wang Wu! He cursed, then spat hard, raised the big knife in his hand, and walked towards the tree!
"Hey, just say what you say, don't cut down the tree, the tree is innocent..."
One step, two steps, three steps!
Just when Wang Wu was less than ten feet away from the big tree, and it seemed that he could touch the trunk of the tree just by passing the knife forward, the sound just now finally sounded again!
Now, everyone really heard it! This sound came from the big tree!
"Damn it! It's really a tree demon!"
Hearing this voice again, Wang Wu's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he almost threw the knife away. He even jumped up and down and hid in the crowd behind!
As for the rangers, they all took a step back at this time and looked at the big tree in horror!
"How could there be a tree demon in broad daylight?"
"Here comes my mother. I really didn't do anything bad except peeking at my brother's shower. Why did I bump into a demon in broad daylight?!"
"Quick, is there a black dog? I heard that monsters are most afraid of black dog blood!"
"Are you crazy? Where can I find a dog for you at this time, or a black dog?! But don't be afraid, there are many of us, and we are all men. We are yang-qi, so we are not afraid of it!"
A large group of people were at war with a tree. All kinds of ghosts and gods appeared, but no one dared to step forward! Doesn't he look like he normally brags?
Xiao Han, who was behind, already knew what was going on after hearing the whistle. Now seeing the rangers like this, he felt funny.
He patted his butt and stood up, separated from everyone and went straight to the front: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! What kind of dryad or transvestite, this is a human! Fatty, fatty! Get out of here, if you don't get up, I'll let Lao Qiu shoot the arrow!"
"Fat man? Shoot an arrow?"
The rangers were in an uproar, and then they saw a piece of withered yellow grass in front of Xiao Han suddenly move.
Immediately afterwards, as grass clippings and dead leaves fell, a humanoid creature stood up from the ground!
The khaki clothes were covered with dust and grass clippings, and the two small eyes on the round head were full of disappointment.
"Master Marquis, how did you know it was me?" The fat man shook his collar and asked with a depressed curl of his lips.
In his opinion, it’s not surprising that the Marquis knew there was someone here! After all, absconding and pretending were all lessons given by Xiao Han for them to train, not to mention that they had taken the initiative to scare them into recognizing him just now.
But how could the Marquis know that it was him lying here? When I spoke just now, my voice had obviously changed!
