"Don't talk nonsense, there are savages there, at most they are human bears."
Lao Hu rolled his eyes and glared at him.
"Fat brother, where did you hear about savages? That's all nonsense. I've never encountered one while hunting."
Yingzi curled his lips with a look of disdain.
Fatty Wang said awkwardly:
"Didn't you say that there are savages in Savage Valley?"
"I suspect that your brain is only the size of a melon seed kernel. You believe what others say!"
I guess it might be the Japs there, isn't it their base, is it nearby? "
Long Jiuxiao had a dark expression on his face and cast a look of contempt.
"Uh, Master Jiu, do you suspect that the so-called savage is just a kid pretending to be a devil?"
Lao Hu asked thoughtfully.
"Isn't that obvious? Let's not talk about this place. There are legends about savages in many places, but have you ever seen anyone catch them?"
Long Jiuxiao nodded with disdain on his face.
"Damn it, Master Jiu, can't we also fight the Japanese? Hehehehe."
Fatty Wang was both excited and a little nervous.
"Brother Ninth, I heard that the little devil is very cruel and bad. Have we been able to fight him?"
Yingzi looked a little nervous, and her pretty face was a little worried.
Lao Hu raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly:
"Yingzi, don't worry. Those little devils bully the weak and fear the strong. They have long since become lost dogs and surrendered after defeat."
Long Jiuxiao nodded with a smile on his face:
"Hahaha, Yingzi, Old Hu is right, don't be afraid.
The kid in the base hasn't come out for so many years.
Maybe he got lost in the old forest and couldn't get out, so he might have died. "
Yingzi looked at Long Jiuxiao with a look of surprise on her face, her eyes filled with admiration:
"Ah, Brother Ninth is right. There are high mountains and dense forests inside. Most people will lose their way when entering.
If you wander around in circles in the woods, you will never come out.”
at dusk
A few people found a place to camp in the lee of the wind. They took out two simple tents from the spirit pattern space and asked Lao Hu and the others to set them up.
"Old Fatty Hu, you guys collect some firewood nearby and come back. Pay attention to safety. Yingzi and I are going hunting."
When Long Jiuxiao saw that the camp was ready, he gave instructions to the two of them.
Fatty Wang looked around. There were dead branches and leaves, and there were noises caused by some animals passing by everywhere.
There were also quite a few strange sounds coming and going, which made me feel a little hairy in my heart, so I hurriedly said:
"Okay, Mr. Jiu, you have to go back quickly! This forest is really scary. If a bear breaks out, we can't do it."
Long Jiuxiao walked in front, heading into the woods, and Yingzi followed happily.
"Brother Ninth, have you ever hunted?"
Yingzi was very happy to be able to hunt with Brother Jiu, chattering non-stop.
"No, I used to live in the city, so I have never hunted. Yingzi, you often go to the mountains and forests, and you are familiar with where the prey will appear. You can lead the way."
Long Jiuxiao smiled and shook his head, motioning for her to take the lead.
"Okay, Brother Ninth, look, these prey will leave some traces when they pass by.
For example, if there are overturned grass, broken branches, footprints, feces, etc., we just need to follow them and look for them.”
Yingzi looked at Long Jiuxiao with a peach-shaped face, while explaining to him his hunting experience.
"Hehehe, Yingzi, you know a lot, you are indeed an old hunter."
Long Jiuxiao smiled and touched her head.
Yingzi suddenly blushed with embarrassment and said coquettishly: "Yingzi is not old! I am only nineteen years old."
"Okay, okay, Brother Nine is wrong, Yingzi is a big girl."
Long Jiuxiao smiled and smoothed the messy hair from her face.
Yingzi could only feel that her little heart was pounding non-stop, her ears were burning, and she quickly turned around:
"Brother Ninth, let's go to the front and have a look. Come on, Huzi."
The four dogs that had been following him rushed forward and started sniffing.
Not long after, after walking more than 200 meters, I found a deer-like animal.
Yingzi quickly raised his gun and shot without aiming. With the sound of the gun, the prey fell to the ground, and Huzi and the others rushed up at high speed.
"Brother Ninth, it's a roe deer"
As the two approached, Yingzi looked at Long Jiuxiao happily, smiling brightly and showing off.
"Haha, Yingzi, your marksmanship is so good. You raise the gun and shoot without aiming. You kill with one shot. It's amazing. Let's go!"
It’s getting late now, since we’ve hit something, let’s go back quickly.”
Long Jiuxiao was amazed at her marksmanship. After all, unlike those sharpshooters who fed bullets, bullets were rare for Yingzi.
"Well, Brother Ninth, let's go!"
Yingzi was extremely happy at his compliment and nodded with a smile.
On the way back, Long Jiuxiao walked forward carrying the roe deer.
Yingzi was asking around behind, asking about some things in the city, and suddenly asked:
"Brother Ninth, are you married?"
Long Jiuxiao was stunned when he was asked, and couldn't help laughing and jokingly said:
"No! Why do you ask this so suddenly? Does Yingzi want to be Ninth Brother's little wife? Hahaha"
Yingzi was immediately ashamed and said coyly:
"That's not true! Brother Ninth is really bad, he actually laughed at me like this."
Beside the campfire, Fatty Wang smelled the aroma of sizzling roasted roe deer meat and asked impatiently:
"Yingzi, is this meat ready? My stomach is growling."
"What's the rush? It'll be over soon."
Yingzi said, took out the knife, cut off a large piece, put it on with a branch, and handed it to Long Jiuxiao.
"Brother Ninth, here, you must be hungry, eat quickly."
"Haha, thank you Yingzi. Well, your barbecue is really good and delicious."
Long Jiuxiao took it with a smile, took a bite, and nodded in praise.
"Really? Brother Ninth, please eat more."
Yingzi squinted her eyes happily and cut another piece.
Fatty Wang stretched out his hand to take it, but Yingzi put the knife directly into his hand and curled his lips:
“Eat it and cut it yourself”
Fatty Wang was slightly startled, and joked with a strange smile:
"Well, Yingzi, you only have Brother Ninth in your eyes, it's not okay to treat him differently like this!
I'm also going to help you and say a good word in front of Master Jiu! "
"Haha, yes, Yingzi, cut me a piece quickly."
Lao Hu also smiled and agreed.
"Bah, I don't want you to speak for me!"
Yingzi blushed and glared at the two of them angrily.
When a few people were chatting and laughing, they suddenly stood up and looked warily into the darkness in the distance.
Lao Hu and the others were shocked and quickly looked over, but it was pitch black and they didn't know what was going on.
Long Jiuxiao looked calm and waved his hand:
"Don't worry, it's just a bear."
When Yingzi heard that it was a bear, his expression changed drastically. He quickly picked up the shotgun and anxiously arranged:
"What, a human bear? Then hurry up and make the fire bigger and don't make any noise."
Although Lao Hu and Fatty Wang were shocked, they said calmly:
"Don't worry, Master Jiu is here! Not to mention a bear, even a tiger will die if it comes."
Yingzi was speechless. She guessed that the two of them had never seen a human bear before, so they didn't know how powerful it was.
He hurriedly looked at Long Jiuxiao, but he saw a calm expression on his face and pulled him back.
"Don't worry, Yingzi, just wait here and don't go away."
Long Jiuxiao stood up and took a few steps forward, standing tall and straight, looking into the darkness.
