That night, the hunting team looked for a place to rest.
At the end of the day, the entrance to the underground space has not been found yet, but a lot of prey has been caught.
This trip everyone has limited supplies, so as long as food and drink can be settled on the spot, of course everyone will not be polite.
Mainly hares, more than twenty, four wolves, and one lynx.
The water source was also found, and the mountain spring water seeped out from the stone wall and merged into a trickle at the edge of the forest.
The amount of water is not very abundant, and bathing is not expected, but it is enough for drinking water.
On the whole, this day is not so much a hunt as a rest to maintain a certain intensity of exercise.
Settling down in the temporary camp in the evening, the morale of the hunting team was very good. When the bonfire was lit, everyone sat in a circle, talking and laughing while roasting meat.
Especially He Yongchang and Kui En, these two people have gotten to know each other well after a few days, and the two of them have the loudest voices.
The only member of the hunting team who was frowning was Archdruid Graham, but he had always been this way, and everyone was used to it.
This person is a bit distracted, talking to himself from time to time, in fact, he is reciting poems and composing Fu to express his melancholy.
He also used various languages for reciting poems and prose, sometimes English, sometimes Old English, and sometimes Scottish Gaelic derived from Irish. Most of the words and sentences in his mouth were incomprehensible to Lin Shuo.
But at this moment, Lin Shuo understood what he was talking about.
This poem is quite famous, the poem of the Irish poet Yeats.
"When you are old", translated as "When you are old" in Chinese:
"When you're old and gray and sleepy."
…
"How many people have loved your fleeting figure, loved your beauty, with hypocrisy or truth.
"Only one ever loved you with the heart of a pilgrim."
…
"How love passes away, how it steps up the mountains, how it hides its face among the stars."
Yeats dedicated this poem to the object of his unrequited love, an actress named Mao Degang.
The writing is very good, with delicate brushstrokes, leading lovers to enter the time tunnel ahead of time. That means time passes, but love doesn't.
But no matter how well written it is, the actress refused Yeats for life, and even refused to attend his funeral after his death.
When Greenham recited this poem in a low voice, his eyes were on Miao Xiaoxian, and the expression on his face seemed to Lin Shuo to be somewhat desperate.
Miao Xiaoxian ignored him, the little girl was looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees, dazed, she seemed to be missing her boyfriend Zhang Jin.
As for Tang Lingyu and Catherine, they were already sticking together.
The two sat close to each other, biting their ears and talking in whispers from time to time, their faces were flushed, and their eyes were shining brightly.
From time to time, the eyes of the two would look at the forest not far away, as if they were planning something.
Wei Xingshan and Su Dongdong were sitting next to Lin Shuo, one on the left and the other on the right. Old Wei, who knew how to read words, said softly to Lin Shuo at this moment:
"Old Lin, Xiao Tang seems to have a good fortune tonight. Why don't you keep your eyes open while you watch the night?"
Lin Shuo was gnawing on wolf meat, he didn't speak, but shook his head.
Seeing that Lin Shuo vetoed his proposal, Wei Xingshan said, "Hey, don't be so unkind, I think it's good, it hasn't found the entrance yet, let the two of them get what they want first, and the rest of the journey will be easy." It will be more stable. Before entering the Red Desert, you married two wives at once, and the three of you entered the bridal chamber together and were buried together. You only allow the state officials to set fires and not allow the common people to light lamps."
Lin Shuo swallowed the wolf meat in his mouth and said, "I didn't say no, what I mean is that I won't keep watch tonight."
"Ah?" Wei Xingshan was a little surprised, "Then who will keep watch?"
"Lao He keeps vigil." Lin Shuo said, "Sister Dong and I are going out tonight."
"Oh, I see." Wei Xingshan looked at Lin Shuo and then at Su Dongdong, with a playful look on his face.
Seeing Wei Xingshan's expression, Lin Shuo knew that this kid must be thinking wrong, and asked, "What do you understand?"
"Hey. Be the same as the two of them." Wei Xingshan pointed to Tang Lingyu and Catherine, "Old Lin, you suggest that you two go farther away, so that the people in the camp don't hear the movement. Of course we are strict, but the Holy See We are not familiar with these few, if any gossip gets out later, it will be very difficult for you to go home."
"Thank you for your reminder." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes and said something ironic.
"Wei Xingshan, you don't have to think about it." Su Dongdong said at this time, "If Lin Shuo really wanted to go out with me at night to do that kind of thing, would he tell you now?"
"That's not guaranteed." Wei Xingshan had actually heard the point at this moment, but he still insisted, "Based on my friendship with Lin Shuo, Lao Lin will not hide this matter from me, and I have to find a way to cover it for him."
"Get out, I need you?" Lin Shuo said seriously, "Sister Dongdong and I went out at night to find the entrance. The team moves too slowly during the day, and the scope of investigation is limited. We will work overtime at night."
"Oh." Wei Xingshan nodded, "Then why don't you take me with you? This way at least there is a witness, and I can prove the innocence of both of you."
"The team moves slowly during the day, isn't it because of your hind legs?" Su Dongdong said, "How hard do we both want to take you with us at night?"
Wei Xingshan scratched his head with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Lin Shuo glanced at him and said, "Do you know why I told you that the two of us are going out tonight?"
After all, Wei Xingshan was not a fool. Lin Shuo understood it with such a light touch, and said softly, "You want me to guard against the three European churches?"
"Well." Lin Shuo said, "Before going underground, I have to make sure they have no other intentions, at least temporarily.
Sister Dongdong and I are the strongest fighters on this trip. As soon as we leave the team, if they really want to make a move, tonight is the best opportunity.
Lao He's ability has not been fully understood until now, and the three of them must have underestimated.
Tonight's scene, Lao He should be able to handle it, but he's short of skills, I'll give you an extra task. "
"Tell me." Wei Xingshan said in a deep voice.
"If Tang Lingyu and Catherine go to the woods tonight, it's inconvenient for He Yongchang to keep watch. You follow, remember to bring a gun." Lin Shuo said, "If they really have something to do, don't bother them. If there is any accident, Take care of Tang Lingyu."
"It's a good job." Wei Xingshan grinned, and then looked at Lin Shuo, "Hey, let me tell you, you two are really looking for the entrance when you go out at night?"
Lin Shuo ignored him, and Su Dongdong, who was beside him, blushed, lowered his head and remained silent.
…
At ten o'clock that night, Lin Shuo made arrangements for the hunting team tonight in English.
He Yongchang kept vigil, Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong went out to continue looking for the entrance.
Speaking of this arrangement in English is actually to make the three practitioners of the European Holy See understandable.
After explaining, Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong left the camp.
Not long after they came out, the two began to turn back and ambush at the edge of a forest.
Wei Xingshan's suspicion was correct, the two of them really didn't intend to find any entrance tonight.
Lin Shuo also knew what he said, no one in the hunting team would believe it.
Like Wei Xingshan, everyone would think that the two of them came out to fool around.
And this is also the misunderstanding that Lin Shuo wanted them to form. Before this situation, he was extremely guarded against it. Now that he has figured it out by himself, Su Dongdong also understands the reason, so it's okay, and can be used instead.
Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong left the hunting team tonight because they wanted to observe the people of the European Holy See from a different angle.
What he said to Wei Xingshan just now was a bit exaggerated. Lin Shuo expected that no matter how good the opportunity was tonight, the three members of the European Holy See would not do anything.
Because it is true that Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong have gone out, but they still have to come back.
When they came back, they saw that something had happened in the camp. With the ability of these two people, it was not difficult to hunt down and kill the three members of the Holy See.
So as long as these three people are not stupid, they dare not do anything tonight, at least they dare not show it.
What Lin Shuo wanted to see was the performance of the three of them after he and Su Dongdong left the team.
Especially Catherine, among the three people in the Holy See, she is the most abnormal, and she is also the biggest threat to the entire team.
This courtesan of the European Holy See has no doubts about her level of hooking up with men. According to Su Dongdong, she has a brilliant record.
If it were any other man, it would not be uncommon for him to be fascinated by this female priest after these few days.
But Tang Lingyu fell too quickly.
The third young master of the Tang family is not an ordinary person. His family works in the media.
In the media industry, beautiful women are definitely indispensable.
He is the future heir of the Tang family. If there is a beautiful woman who can seduce him and rise to the top position, Tang Lingyu is twenty-eight this year, so she would not be a bachelor by now, and it is not Catherine's turn to treat him here these days Cast your charm.
In terms of beauty, although Catherine is very good, she is obviously far behind her elder sister Helen, and is incomparable with Lin Shuo's three wives, so she is not considered a top-notch beauty.
And Tang Lingyu is a cultivator of gods, with a pretty good cultivation base, a clear mind and a strong will.
As a member of the European Holy See, Catherine suddenly joined the hunting team.
What kind of teammate this is, Lin Shuo doesn't need to say, Tang Lingyu should also know.
Can such a woman be easily touched
Under normal circumstances, even if Tang Lingyu was really tempted, it was just a secret liking, and she didn't dare to show it in front of Lin Shuo.
And after today, let alone show in front of Lin Shuo, this is already wishing for Lin Shuo to be a matchmaker.
It is obviously abnormal for Tang Lingyu to be so ignorant.
In addition, as a priest of light, Catherine plays a different role from others when the hunting team encounters the enemy.
She asked everyone to remove the barrier of spiritual thoughts from her and accept her spiritual power without reservation.
Only in this way can everyone get the blessing of a bright priest and display stronger combat effectiveness.
Her means of this nature, if she wants to do good, is the help that all practitioners can't wait for, but if she wants to do evil, it is the deadliest threat.
Lin Shuo now has every reason to believe that she has already used her thoughts to tamper with Tang Lingyu, otherwise Tang Lingyu would not be in this situation now.
So the focus of observation tonight is Catherine.
She lured Tang Lingyu out tonight alone. If she really wanted to have an affair with Tang Lingyu, then it would be fine, and Lin Shuo had nothing to do with it.
But if she used Tang Lingyu's spirit refining methods further to lay the groundwork for her own future actions, Lin Shuo must guard against this.
The forest where the two are currently ambush is where Catherine and Tang Lingyu have been waiting and watching before, which means to choose the location of this dewy marriage tonight.
As for what he did tonight, Lin Shuo knew that he would not be able to hide it from his sister-in-law, so he quietly informed her in the afternoon.
The original intention was to persuade her not to turn around and follow up out of curiosity, but it turned out that it was okay not to mention it, but Su Dongdong became excited when she mentioned it, so she must follow.
Since you can't persuade her, let her follow.
Otherwise, if Lin Shuo went out of the camp alone, it would be too conspicuous, and it would be easy to scare the snake away.
Pulling in Su Dongdong is more or less a cover. Others will think that these two people are just like Tang Lingyu and Catherine when they come out.
Not long after Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong hid, a man and a woman were laughing happily from the other side of the forest.
Tang Lingyu and Catherine held hands, and they entered the forest.
