This white-haired man moves quickly, walking like flying in the mountains with complex terrain, and seems not to be affected by the terrain at all.
After carrying the three of them for a long distance into the mountains, they came to a high and deep cave.
There is a simple wooden house set up by a big tree outside the cave. There are also rough stone basins placed on the inner wall of the cave. An unknown grease is burning in the stone basins, making the cave very bright.
The white-haired man fought the three people into the cave and placed them on the ground.
The three of them were tied tightly and sat back to back on the cave floor.
The white-haired man turned around and headed towards another stone room in the cave.
Zhuang Nan turned pale when he heard the obvious sounds of bones breaking and flesh tearing in the stone chamber over there.
"It's over. It's really over this time. This monster caught us just to cook!"
Ye Ming said: "It's okay. The strongest Zhou warrior among us must be eaten first. You still have time to leave a suicide note!"
"Why did you leave a suicide note when you were tied up like this?"
Zhuang Nan said very dissatisfiedly, and tried to move a little, but found that it didn't work at all.
At this time, I saw the white-haired man coming out of the stone room again.
Several people looked over and saw the white-haired man coming out carrying a large piece of fresh meat.
Zhou Shisheng recognized it at a glance. It was tiger meat.
The white-haired man placed the tiger meat in an empty stone basin next to the three people, untied the old vines on several people, pointed at the meat in the stone basin, and showed a somewhat ugly smile.
Zhuang Nan said with some disbelief:
"Is it making us eat meat?"
When Zhou Shisheng saw his expression, it seemed like this.
At this time, the mountain god in the bronze box said:
"This is a white-haired man. Different from the red-haired man, he has a much gentler temperament. He generally does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He only hunts when he is hungry."
"That's it, but how do you eat it?"
Zhuang Nan looked at the raw meat with some embarrassment.
After Zhou Shisheng took a look at the white-haired man, he tried to move and took a few steps.
The white-haired man just kept his ugly smile and didn't stop him.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, Zhou Shisheng got some wood and made a wooden frame. He also used fire sticks to make a fire and barbecue.
No matter what, today is a battle and a run away. Several people have been starving for a long time, so they need to eat first.
When the white-haired man first saw them grilling meat, he didn't seem to understand.
But when it smelled the aroma of barbecue, its eyes suddenly widened.
He also moved closer to the fire and looked at the shiny barbecue.
Seeing this, Zhou Shisheng took out the salt he carried with him and sprinkled some on the barbecue.
In fact, if it is just pure barbecue, it is not delicious. It can be said that it is difficult to swallow.
It only tastes better if you add seasonings.
After the barbecue was ready, Zhuang Nan, who was so hungry, ignored the white-haired man and skewered the meat with a sharpened stick to eat.
Seeing this, the white-haired man couldn't help but move.
It's not afraid of being burned, so it just tears off a piece of meat with its hands and puts it into its mouth.
After one bite, the white-haired man suddenly felt that all his meat over the years had been in vain!
After that, Baimao and a few people sat around the fire and kept roasting meat.
Zhou Shisheng also took the opportunity to successfully enter the inner stone room to check.
Only after taking a look did he realize that the inner room was actually an ice room full of ice cubes.
There are many tigers, bears, cattle, deer and other wild animals stored inside.
Obviously, this is the "granary" of the white-haired people.
At the edge of the "granary", there are also many furs, bones, etc. of wild animals such as tigers, bears, cattle, and deer placed neatly.
The white-haired man finished his meal and consumed almost all the salt Zhou Shisheng had brought with him. Then he stopped eating with satisfaction and used a wild deer rib as a toothpick to pick his teeth.
Seeing that the white-haired man was eating and drinking well, Zhuang Nan winked at the two of them, and the three of them quietly walked around the white-haired man and went out of the cave.
Zhuang Nan looked back at the white-haired man from time to time.
Seeing this guy warming himself by the fire and picking his teeth without looking back, he quickly signaled the two of them to speed up and escape.
The three of them had just walked quickly to the entrance of the cave when they suddenly saw the white-haired man leaping out of the cave and blocking them in front of them.
After stopping the three of them, he showed a somewhat ugly smile and pointed into the cave.
The meaning is obvious, let the three of them go back.
Seeing this, Zhuang Nan felt a little downcast and had to turn back.
Ye Ming and Zhou Shisheng also returned to the cave.
It was getting dark outside, so the white-haired man thoughtfully brought tiger skins, bear skins, and deer skins to make sleeping quilts for the three of them.
Zhuang Nan's mentality changed quickly. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he simply stopped thinking about escaping. He covered himself with a bearskin quilt and fell asleep happily.
After a while, there was a snoring sound.
It can be seen that this person slept very soundly.
Ye Ming also looked happy and contented, and fell asleep quickly.
Only Zhou Shisheng, who looked at the white-haired man sleeping not far from the cave entrance, who seemed to have no ill intentions, could not calm down.
Zhou Shisheng, who was tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, couldn't help but touch the stone pendant hanging on his chest.
He would have this habit whenever he was unsettled and feeling irritable.
The things left behind by this crazy old woman seemed to have a magical power.
Touching the pendant, Zhou Shisheng felt gradually relaxed and fell asleep.
Not long after, Zhou Shisheng, who was sleeping soundly, had a smile on his lips, as if he had had a sweet dream...
Early the next morning, Zhuang was having trouble sleeping when he suddenly felt difficulty breathing and felt uncomfortable all over his body.
He struggled subconsciously, opened his eyes and found that he was tied up by the old vines again.
Not only him, but also Zhou Shisheng and Ye Ming had been tied up again.
"What are you doing again!"
Zhuang Nan complained endlessly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I wrote a suicide note in advance last night, so it's not a big problem."
However, they saw the white-haired man who had tied up the three men again holding them on his shoulders, grabbing a sharpened wooden stick with his other hand, and left the cave.
The white-haired man walked through the mountains, walking on flat ground all the way.
After walking for a while, we came to a cliff with only a large tree growing sideways.
Seeing this, Zhuang Nan felt a bit toothache and said:
"It's not planning to throw us down from here!"
Ye Ming said: "Think on the bright side, maybe I'll just throw you away!"
"I said you didn't think of any way to escape. Zhuangshi Zhou and I were both thinking of ways!"
"What can I do? I don't know anything, I'm just an ordinary person, what else can I do!"
Ye Ming said very casually, looking resigned to his fate.
Zhou Shisheng's eyes swept around, not giving up hope of escape yet.
After the white-haired man arrived, he tied the three of them together with a thicker old vine and hung them on a large tree growing slanting on the cliff.
The three of them were huddled together, and it was inevitable that they would come into contact with each other in a different way.
"Hey~~Zhuangshi Zhou, don't push my butt!"
"I don't want to either... Just bear with it!"
"..."
Just as he was talking, he saw the white-haired man tying up the three people, then turned around and walked away for a distance, hiding in a nearby bush to hide his figure.
When Zhou Shisheng saw this, he was confused when he suddenly heard the sound of a tiger roaring.
Looking around, he saw a colorful tiger suddenly appearing below the cliff.
When the tiger saw the three people hanging, it roared loudly, used its hind legs hard, and jumped fiercely to catch the three people hanging from the tree.
I don't know if the white-haired man calculated it well, but the height of the tiger's jump was just a little short of the three people.
The tiger scratched and failed to catch the food in front of him.
This made the tiger a little annoyed and jumped again.
This time, the tiger jumped up and saw the hairy man hiding in the woods suddenly throw a sharpened stick.
The wooden stick made a sound of breaking through the air, directly piercing the tiger in the air.
The tiger screamed and fell to the ground, rolled a few times on the ground, struggled a few times, and died.
When the white-haired man hiding in the forest saw that he had successfully hunted a tiger, he danced with joy.
Then, he stepped forward to untie the three of them and put them on his shoulders.
Zhuang Nan breathed a sigh of relief:
"Phew, it's so dangerous. If you hang on for a little longer, your innocence will not be guaranteed!"
Zhou Shisheng also looked happy.
Regardless of that, the white-haired man picked up the tiger in his other hand and returned home with a full load.
After bringing a few people back to the cave, they untied the ropes and lit a fire to roast the meat.
Since the salt has been used up, the roasted meat will not taste as good as yesterday.
But for white-haired people, this is still quite delicious.
After having lunch, the white-haired man picked up a sharpened wooden stick and began to practice his moves outside the cave.
From the looks of it, he still seems to be a very powerful spear fighting method.
Seeing this, Zhou Shisheng felt that this skill was very useful.
Knowing that the white-haired man only did not allow him and others to leave here, he did not impose any more restrictions.
Zhou Shisheng took his own spear and started practicing like the white-haired man.
When the white-haired man saw him learning the spear technique, he didn't stop him.
After learning for a while, the white-haired man stopped and began to draw carefully. He was obviously seriously teaching Zhou Shi how to use the long spear...
Zhuang Nan hugged his legs, sat on the wood at the entrance of the cave, watched the scene in front of him, and said to Ye Ming sitting next to him:
"It seems like this guy won't harm us, he just uses us as bait."
"This is actually not bad. We have food and drink, and we don't have to worry about anything."
Ye Ming said indifferently.
Zhuang Nan said with some dissatisfaction:
"How can this work? I still have many places I want to go, how can I stop here?"
At night, a little bear spread his hands and said:
"Then what can you do? This guy is so powerful, we can't beat him at all."
"It's true, we can't defeat it..."
Zhuang Nan touched his chin and thought for a while before saying,
"Looking at that guy, it doesn't look like he can't communicate. Why don't we tell him directly that we want to leave."
"Then you go and try it."
Zhuang Nan was a man of action, he would go as soon as he was told, and he went to talk to the white-haired man about his intention to leave.
In the end, the white-haired man just showed an ugly smile and carried Zhuang Nan back to the cave.
Obviously, people disagree.
Zhou Shisheng, on the other hand, didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. He followed the white-haired man to learn spear fighting, bow and arrow techniques, trap layout, etc.
His hunting ability was indeed not bad before, but most of it was based on his own exploration and some ordinary people's experience, without receiving any real systematic training.
The white-haired man is obviously very professional and very patient when teaching his apprentices.
In addition, Zhou Shisheng is a talented hunter himself. He has good foundation, learns things quickly and makes rapid progress.
In the next few days, except for being taken out by the white-haired people as bait to catch tigers, bears and other wild animals every day, Zhou Shisheng devoted himself to learning from the white-haired people.
Ye Ming and Zhuang Nan were bored and carved a chessboard on the stone plate, and played Go every day to pass the time.
In this way, seven days passed in a flash.
On the night of the seventh day, the white-haired man sparred with Zhou Shisheng with a wooden spear.
Zhou Shisheng barely survived a hundred moves.
Seeing this, the white-haired man showed his ugly iconic smile.
Later, he was seen running into the ice room and taking out a bright red unknown fruit.
He thrust the fruit into Zhou Shisheng's hand and motioned for him to eat it.
Over this period of time, Zhou Shisheng has established trust in the white-haired man.
Don’t doubt that he is there, drink the fruit.
After taking the fruit, I felt a warm current flowing through my body, and then I felt sleepy. I couldn't help but yawn and fell asleep.
The white-haired man gently supported Zhou Shisheng, put him down, and covered him with an animal skin blanket.
Seeing Zhou Shisheng sleeping, he made a silent gesture to Ye Ming and Zhuang Nan, indicating not to disturb him.
Then he tiptoed to the entrance of the cave and stood guard.
In this way, the night passed.
When Zhou Shisheng woke up the next morning and looked in the direction of the cave entrance, the white-haired man was nowhere to be seen.
Obviously, he has left...
...
