On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, the sky under the Kunlun Mountains was clear.
Lin Shuo had no choice but to make the dagger that he planned to give to Anne himself, so he had to hand over the handle that he had already carved to Blacksmith He.
The next process, the eight-inch blacksmith will naturally complete, and wait for Lin Shuo to come back to deliver the goods.
This Blacksmith He is an old brother of his father, and he is very reliable both in character and craft. In the past thirty years, he has done all the maintenance of Master Zhui, so Lin Shuo can naturally trust him.
But Lin Shuo couldn't trust the person who was with him on this business trip and went to the Red Desert with him.
Wei Xingshan, although his marksmanship is good, his ability is too poor.
Not to mention Dylan, who had never done a single transaction, followed him just to make a fuss, and his mind must not be clear at the critical moment.
And because of Di Lan's existence, Anne, whom Lin Shuo had already trusted, made Lin Shuo feel less at ease.
The key to the difference between a new hunter and an old hunter is not in ability, but in psychological quality.
The old hunter who is recognized by everyone in the door, no matter how cautious he is, once he reaches the mountains, his heart will become bigger and bigger.
Not only can life and death be ignored, even if the sky falls, they will not take care of it, but focus on handling the matter in front of them first.
When it really comes to a critical juncture, there is no time to think about the success or failure of life and death, and it is all a subconscious choice.
If there is something in the heart that cannot be suppressed, it is more fatal than missing arms and legs.
In this respect, Wei Xingshan, who was the best in the team, was Lin Shuo's most reassuring.
Don't look at this kid who usually pretends to be stupid and stupefied. When it comes to critical moments, even if the work in hand is not suitable, his mind has never been messed up.
At this moment, Wei Xingshan drove an off-road vehicle, carrying Lin Shuo, Anne, and Di Lan to the airport.
Xiao Ba thought the car and the plane were too slow, so he had already flown there first, and agreed to meet Lin Shuo there.
Lin Shuo put his thoughts aside, flattened the seat in the co-pilot's position, and began to sleep.
From now on, it's useless to think about anything else. Now that you're on the road, you're in a state of hunting.
The prey for this trip was very strong, and there were also hidden dangers within the team. The situation was actually very serious. Lin Shuo had to hurry up and rest.
Besides, Zhang Jin didn't follow him on this trip, and Lin Shuo was responsible for the vigil.
Lin Shuo lay flat, and soon there was a slight snoring sound.
Wei Xingshan was driving on the side, glanced at the sleeping Lin Shuo, and shook his head.
Lao Lin, this guy is still admirable, no matter where he is, he can fall asleep if he says he falls asleep.
This heart is so big that it has reached the point of lack of heart.
It was Wei Xingshan who didn't dare to sleep at the moment, because Anne and Dilan were sitting side by side in the back of the carriage.
According to Wei Xingshan, in this case, the two girls must be separated.
The two girls are just competing for beauty, that's all. The key point is that they have great abilities, so it's really hard to fight.
If Lin Shuo was awake, it would be fine, because Lin Shuo could hold them both.
Wei Xingshan can't stand it anymore, he can't stand a fight, as soon as the girl raises her finger, old Wei has to go to Yan Wangye to report.
Wei Xingshan assessed the current situation and felt that he had to speak, so he silenced the two aunts behind.
So he glanced at the rearview mirror in the car, and first observed the movement in the back row.
It's okay, the two of them are sitting by the window, the distance between them can almost fit an elephant, and their emotions are basically stable.
"Miss Anne, Princess Dilan, this business looks different from the past." Wei Xingshan said while driving.
Anne withdrew her gaze from the car window and looked at Wei Xingshan: "Why is it different?"
"Look at Lao Lin, when did he start falling asleep before the plane got on?" Wei Xingshan said, "Except for the first few hunts, when he didn't know us well, he would chat with us at this time during the other two trips. Let’s chat. One is to share information, and the other is to let us relax and not be so nervous. But this time, you see, you fell asleep right now, what does that mean?”
"It means he didn't sleep last night and was with me." Anne said.
"He didn't catch up on sleep in the morning, so he went to my place." Dylan followed closely.
Wei Xingshan rolled his eyes: "Two sisters, can we not fight for this face
As the leader of the hunting gate, Lao Lin, the most professional hunter in the world, has already taken over the business. He doesn't sleep when it's time to sleep. He is busy coaxing one at night, and he has to coax the other before leaving in the daytime. Pretty good, right
While Lao Lin was asleep, I acted like a villain and said something that was inconvenient for him to say.
You two are not ordinary people, one will soon be the head of the Su family, and the other will soon be the head of the Cao family and protector. What are these identities.
Ordinarily, the two of you have to hold the position of the leader of Lao Lin together.
And this transaction is the last big transaction before the peer alliance ceremony.
For such an important matter, for the two of you, Lao Lin couldn't close his eyes, and his body was not adjusted to the best condition.
That's right, men are good, and women have to fight for it. It's not that you are not allowed to fight, it depends on the time.
Now, we are on our way to do business, and the job has come.
Lao Lin knows to go to bed quickly, this is his professionalism.
And you, I venture to share my experience with you.
Colleagues who work together may not have a good personal relationship. Dislike of each other in private is not contradictory to seamless cooperation at work, which is also professionalism.
My old Wei is a newcomer to Liemen. According to seniority, I am Lao Lin's apprentice, and you two are both of the same generation as Lao Lin after the peer alliance ceremony.
So, two female seniors, can you give me a sample of this junior, and teach me what a hunter is? "
After Wei Xingshan finished speaking, the carriage was quiet for a while.
"You're right in reminding me." Di Lan said first, "Actually, I'm also a newcomer to hunting. This is my first time hunting. If there are any things that I haven't done well, Wei Xingshan, you have to remind me more."
"Put other things aside first." Anne said, "Dy Lan, the prey is very strong this time, we can't let Lin Shuo be distracted for us."
"That's right." Dylan said, "We are here to help him, not to hold him back."
"That's right, that's the reason. It's my prerogative to hold Lao Lin back. You two are so capable, so don't mix it up." Wei Xingshan said, "Otherwise, the man you are fighting for will die in the Red Desert. What are you two fighting for?"
…
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Wumeng Mountain.
Miao Tiangong, the old head of the Miao family, had a few drinks at noon this day, and now he is lying on the bed feeling dizzy and taking a nap in the morning.
Usually, Miao Tiangong doesn't drink at noon. He knows how much he can drink. If he drinks during the day, his work will be delayed.
But today is fine, because Miao Xiaoxian, the current young head of the Miao family, was driven to his sister Miao Xueping by him.
If this troublemaker is not around, nothing will happen in the village.
Miao Tiangong himself knew that the position of Patriarch must have been passed on too early.
This girl Miao Xiaoxian's cultivation talent is better than her aunt Miao Xueping's back then, now she has pretty good abilities and looks pleasing, but it's just her temper, a brat would be disliked by a dog.
It is impossible to expect the little girl who can't take care of herself to take over the affairs of the Miao family now.
It stands to reason that she needs at least ten years before she can try to take over this burden.
Ke Liemen's covenant of peers, and other items, were slowly added later. The most primitive function, as the name suggests, is to equal seniority and establish a covenant.
The same generation is the same generation as the current Patriarch of each family.
The purpose of this system is to relatively unify the seniority and objective age of the inheritance hunters, so that when hunting, the conflict between seniority and actual age will not cause the hunting team to dispute over the right to speak.
And Miao Tiangong, as Miao Guangqi's cousin, was of the same generation as Lin Leshan and Cao Yusheng.
The current head of the hunting gate is Lin Shuo. If he participates in the peer alliance ceremony as the head of the family this year, he will be descending from the previous generation, so Miao Xiaoxian must be promoted to the position of the head of the family first.
Miao Xiaoxian, the head of the family, is actually in name only. She has only been good at two things since she was a child, one is cultivation, and the other is causing trouble.
If she is not in the village today, Miao Tiangong will be at rest.
Lying on the bed and feeling dizzy, there was movement from the stairs on the side of the stilted building, and someone came up in a hurry.
Miao Tiangong quickly got up and gathered himself together.
Just by the sound of footsteps, he knew who it was.
Miao Guangde, his cousin, the hunter of the second room of the Miao family, capable of nine inches, is now his right-hand man.
Today, he was the one who escorted Miao Xiaoxian to Miao Xueping in name, in fact, to prevent the little girl from running away.
As soon as the door was pushed open by Miao Guangde, Miao Tiangong felt a headache when he saw his appearance.
Miao Guangde stood in front of Miao Tiangong, his eyes were crooked and his mouth was slanting, his hands were trembling constantly, and when he spoke, the corners of his mouth snarled: "Brother, Xiaoxian has run away."
"Didn't I tell you to be on guard, why did you pay her back?"
"Oh, this ghost is really hard to guard against." Miao Guangde shook his hands and wiped the corner of his mouth.
Miao Tiangong was annoyed and amused by his cousin's embarrassment.
This was acupressure by Miao Xiaoxian, the little girl finally knew how to act properly, she didn't use a ruthless move on her cousin, this is just a temporary nerve paralysis, it will be fine in a while.
But Miao Guangde is one of the top three hunters in the stockade. Ten years ago, he was ranked among the nine inches.
He sent him to escort Miao Xiaoxian to Miao Xueping's place. Miao Tiangong was sure of his rank. With Miao Xiaoxian's current ability, Miao Guangde couldn't overthrow the sky.
As a result, things backfired, Miao Tiande came back with crooked eyes and mouth.
"Hey, that's okay." Miao Tiangong sighed, "Going out to harm others is better than harming your own village."
Miao Guangde was stunned, and asked with a smile: "Brother, are you drinking too much again? How do you say that?"
"The truth." Miao Tiangong shook his head, "Okay, you go to Xueping's place and ask her to find her niece. You don't need to bring her back. Just watch her and don't make too much trouble. Go directly to the Peer Alliance Ceremony."
"Okay!" Miao Guangde nodded, and he rushed out again.
