Xiao Ba stood on the gray donkey's head, feeling very depressed.
It has always believed that it is far more than a bird, and it is confident in its intelligence, even higher than humans.
Of course, his elder brother Lin Shuo was an exception.
Bickering and judging, it has never lost in its twelve years of life.
Even if it was Lin Shuo, as long as he didn't threaten with force, it could still go back and forth with him.
But this time, it failed.
Liu Shunfu, the old bastard, took a roll of bandages and said he was going to bandage it. At that time, he wanted to get well soon and join Lin Shuo as soon as possible, so he didn't refuse.
As a result, the old guy actually tied himself up like a rice dumpling, except for the bird's head and claws, all wrapped in bandages.
What kind of bandage is this? It's obviously a big tie!
Now Xiao Ba can't move his whole body, he can only stand on the head of this stupid donkey.
Xiao Ba hated this donkey very much, for fear that it would infect him with its stupidity.
For Liu Shunfu, the owner of this donkey, he has greeted all eighteen generations of his ancestors in his heart.
"Old man, let me tell you!" Xiao Ba jumped upright, turned around, pointed his beak at Liu Shunfu who was riding on the donkey, "what can I do, brother Shuo! You old man, carry his shoes You don't deserve it! You hurry to let me go! Otherwise, I'll tell Brother Shuo later, let him take you and your broken snake together!"
Liu Shunfu raised his eyelids, and muttered, "A dog depends on others."
"It's better than you fighting against a dog!" Xiao Ba scolded, "If you don't have that broken snake, you're nothing!"
The corners of Liu Shunfu's mouth twitched, and then he changed into a smiling face: "Oh, Lin Jiafeng, I'm not doing this for you, am I? You flop around at every turn, can this internal injury be healed? Now that it's tied up, I can't move anymore. Your injury will heal in three days."
"I believe you! You are a very bad old man!" Xiao Ba said, "That's what you said three days ago!"
"Don't worry, it's not time yet." Liu Shunfu shook his head, and then said, "Lin Fenghuang, I have already released the news. Don't worry, your master should have heard about you."
"Then why don't you hurry up and be nice to me?"
"Isn't this just treating you well?" Liu Shunfu stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Ba's head, with a somewhat emotional expression, "More than a hundred years ago, the aliens raised by the people in the door used dragons and phoenixes as rare items, which is recognized in the world. Shuangjue. At that time, my Liu family's "Mulong" was still above your Lin family's "Yufeng". I didn't expect Fengshui to turn, and now my Liu family can only herd dragons in this barren place. It's not bad to eat a meal, and your Lin family has become the supreme leader of the hunting gate."
"Hey, you're bragging." Xiaoba said unforgivingly, "It is clearly written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Dragons can be big or small, they can rise or hide; big ones make clouds and fog, and small ones hide Ascension means flying between the universe, while hiding means lurking in the waves. I, brother Shuo, said that it is called a real dragon. Just the big broken snake in your family is also worthy of being called a dragon?"
Xiao Ba's words made Liu Shunfu's expression stiff, and he scolded angrily, "What a flat-haired bastard with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth!"
"What, you want to hit me? Come on! Try to touch me!"
"Hmph! Dogs rely on people's power."
"Bah! People rely on dogs."
…
In a dense forest in Daxing'an Mountains.
In the past three days, the scar-faced man has had a steady stream of bad news.
Wei Xingshan guessed well, the man with the scar face is named Yu Ruifeng.
After setting up the communication base station, the scar-faced man can not only talk to the team members scattered within a hundred kilometers, but also check their location through a portable display screen.
Those were seven green dots, evenly scattered around the International Society for Biological Research, like seven invisible demons, suppressing them and delaying their progress.
And in these three days, the seven green dots on the screen disappeared one by one.
And the news that came from the communication headset was more terrifying than the other.
"Boss, I'm being followed by a big guy!"
"Boss, I can't stay in the water anymore, something is following me!"
"There's something in the water!"
"ah!"
For these seven green dots, four people sent these four voice messages respectively, and there has been no news since then.
The five strong men who followed Yu Ruifeng didn't know anything about it, and the scar-faced man didn't intend to tell them.
These people are just temporary recruits, and they are not worthy of the status of comrades-in-arms.
In Yu Ruifeng's mind, there are only two comrades in arms in this life.
One, Jiang Xinyun, was dead.
The other was Wei Xingshan, he was still alive, but he was already dead in his heart.
This morning, Yu Ruifeng left the overnight place alone, and took out the satellite phone.
"Boss, something is wrong."
"The seven snipers I am ambushing near the opponent's camp were all pulled out."
"Listening to their dying message, the thing that killed them should have come from the water."
"Hooked snakes won't hurt them. I guess it's the Black Water Dragon King who did it."
"If this continues, I won't be able to hold them back."
"Does the boss have a way? That's great."
"Okay, I see what to do."
…
Lin Shuo got the news about Xiaoba from a mountain dweller.
He asked Wei Xingshan the map he wanted to come here, and took it back to his tent to study it.
Wei Xingshan and Anne also followed.
In Anne's eyes, since Wei Xingshan finished smoking that cigarette in Lin Shuo's tent late at night three days ago, the relationship between the two men seems to have taken a step forward.
Although Lin Shuo saved Wei Xingshan's life before, Lin Shuo looked down on Wei Xingshan, and Wei Xingshan didn't like Lin Shuo either.
Now, when Lin Shuo saw this mercenary leader, although his words were still unpleasant, his expression was no longer as indifferent as before.
As for Wei Xingshan, apart from being respectful to Lin Shuo, he occasionally made a small joke.
On the contrary, the distance between her and Lin Shuo, which had been gradually shortened, suddenly seemed to be farther away.
This feeling made Anne faintly disappointed, but reason told her that perhaps this was the right thing to do.
Lin Shuo was in a good mood when he heard about Xiaoba today.
Wei Xingshan gave Lin Shuo a cigarette, laughed and said, "I've said it long ago, our eighth master is a phoenix, how could something happen!"
"I heard from the mountain people that it is wrapped in bandages, so it should still be injured." Lin Shuo lowered his head and asked Wei Xingshan to light a cigarette for himself, and then exhaled a puff of smoke.
"I heard just now that Eighth Master is following the envoy of the Dragon King?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"That's right." Lin Shuo nodded, "I don't think this shepherd is stupid enough to threaten me with Xiao Ba, he probably saved it by chance."
"Then let's go find him quickly!" Wei Xingshan said, "Bring Ba Ye back as soon as possible, I don't think Ba Ye is around these few days, you are out of your mind."
Lin Shuo said with a wry smile: "You may not know that Xiaoba is an important part of my battle. Without it, I might not be able to kill the hooked snake with one blow. Once a beast like the hooked snake cannot If it hits and kills, the situation will be very passive. I was lucky to be able to scare it away that morning."
"I can understand, I can understand." Wei Xingshan sighed. He remembered the "n"-shaped traces below the camp, and he didn't think Lin Shuo was being modest.
"So we have to meet it before we can proceed to the next step." Lin Shuo said.
"Then where is it now?" Wei Xingshan looked at the map.
"I heard from the mountain people that the envoy of the Dragon King set off from Jiunianggou three days ago, and I don't know where he went." Lin Shuo said, "So, I will go to Jiunianggou first, and track the envoy of the Dragon King along the scent."
"Jiunianggou is here." Anne pointed to a certain place on the map and said, "It's not close to here, the straight-line distance is more than 60 kilometers."
"This is the deepest part of the Outer Xing'an Mountains." Wei Xingshan frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, the situation there is very complicated. I'll bring someone with you to go with you, just in case."
"Are you sure you won't be a burden?" Lin Shuo glanced at him.
"To deal with that kind of big guy, of course I'm not as good as you." Wei Xingshan said confidently, "But this kind of deep mountains and old forests, anything can happen, take me, you won't regret it."
Lin Shuo thought about it, and felt that Wei Xingshan's foot strength would not slow down the journey too much.
And after all, this is a shepherd's territory. Although he has shown some kindness at the moment, his intentions are unclear after all, and he still holds Xiao Ba in his hand.
Lin Shuo underestimated the other party before, this time he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
Wei Xingshan was a leader among the special forces, so he was a good help.
So Lin Shuo nodded: "Okay. But the camp can't be set up here. Once I go far away, I won't be able to take care of this place. The hooked snake may come again."
"Then move it again." Wei Xingshan said, "Just stay away from the water. Liu Qing can direct these."
"Um."
"I'll go too." Anne said.
Wei Xingshan glanced at her and said, "Miss Anne, I know you are quite skilled, but the situation there is very complicated, you are a woman..."
"Old Wei." Lin Shuo glanced at Anne, "Don't worry about her, this woman is much stronger than you imagined. If there is any accident, maybe you will die before her."
"No." Wei Xingshan shook his head, "Mr. Lin, you don't understand the situation. This is a mountain. People in the mountains are engaged in heavy physical labor, so they naturally favor boys over girls. Most of the baby girls born are abandoned, so there is a shortage of women here. Long Xinggou is okay, after all, it is on the outskirts, and it can marry with Jia Linda. The situation in Jiunianggou is different, it is a deep mountain. Miss Anne is too beautiful, and it is not convenient to go there."
"I thought you were praising me." Anne smiled, "I believe you two old men should be able to protect me."
Lin Shuo and Wei Xingshan looked at each other, Lin Shuo pouted, Wei Xingshan shook his head.
Anne took out the headband from her pocket, tied up her long hair, and said slowly:
"There were so many people at that time, but Ba Ye only left me a piece of meat. I miss Ba Ye. Let's go, let's pick Ba Ye home."
