This time, the mountain barbarian horse team traveled for five days. Lorist picked a lot of white thatch while on the road, and when he was resting at night, he made a pair of straw sandals for himself, and asked the male mountain barbarian attendant to take the one he had built at night. I cut two small pieces of animal skin and put them in the straw sandals to make insoles, which finally solved the problem of walking barefoot.
The mountain barbarian man looked fierce, but he was actually not very old, probably around fifteen or sixteen, but he was quite tall. I was very curious when I saw Lorist playing straw sandals that day, so I squatted beside him and watched for a long time. Lorist learned the skill of making straw sandals when he was a mercenary, and the pattern of weaving borrowed from the style of cloth shoes in his previous life, with left and right feet, which is different from the straw sandals worn by the poor in Galintia.
The woven straw sandals were taken by the barbarian follower to look at them for a long time, and he was amazed, but he didn't take the straw sandals as his own, and after looking at them for a long time, he returned them to Lorist. Straw sandals. Lorist was very happy with this, and chatted with him while teaching.
The mountain barbarian attendant said that the snow white mountain lord and the golden crown girl mountain barbarian saved Lorist because he was worried that he would be tormented to death by those wolf-like mountain barbarians, so that she would not be able to bring Lorist to her father to show off. After all, Lorist was also the only flatlander captive she had captured who wore a gold badge and had an identity.
This statement made Lorist understand why the Golden Crown Mountain barbarian rescued him from those mountain barbarians but kept ignoring him. Lorist took the opportunity to ask this young mountain barbarian follower, did he find anyone beside him when he was found seriously injured and unconscious? Lorist wanted to know Reddy's whereabouts very much.
The man from the mountain nodded his head, saying that there was another fool with great strength, and even two Ules from the sixth ring couldn't hold him down. But this fool has nothing but strength, after he was caught, he was thrown in the rear and let him take care of the pack horses.
Ule is a word created by the mountain barbarians, which means a warrior. The six rings indicate the level of power. The mountain barbarians believe that fighting spirit is the power of the mountain spirit bestowed by the mountain god. They divide the power of the mountain spirit into twelve rings. The higher the number of rings, the greater the power. Iron three-star position.
Lorist was very excited. Reddy was gone, but he didn't understand why the mountain barbarian said that Reddy was a fool
Shan Mannan's attendant said that that fool was still dumb. When he saw him just now, he was naked and full of scars, and killed a wolf with his teeth, but he was honest, as long as he was given food, he was very obedient. Let him do whatever he wants. Nothing but strength.
Lorist felt that it was not Reddy who was talking about it. If it was Reddy, something must have happened, but now he is in danger, and he is restricted from following the activities of the Golden Crown Girl Mountain Man, so he cannot go to the back team Let's see if the idiot mentioned by the mountain barbarian is Reddy. We can only wait for the opportunity first.
Perhaps it was because of teaching the young barbarian man to weave straw sandals, the dinner was much richer. The barbarian man brought Lorist a hind leg bone with a lot of meat, although half of it was burnt, but After all, it was meat, which made Lorist, who had been eating dark pancakes for several days, very happy.
When sleeping in the open at night, Lorist half leaned on the debris unloaded from the horse's back, covered with the animal skin, and seemed to be sleeping, but actually sat cross-legged and slowly moved Xiao Zhoutian to recover his internal strength. The current situation can't run the big week. Lorist is worried that some mountain barbarian will come and kick him when he forgets himself. At that time, going crazy will be considered mild, and if it is serious, it will cause hemiplegia, and everything will be over.
A volcano in the shape of Mount Fuji appeared in the distance, and all the mountain barbarians cheered, their settlement was coming soon.
After walking for a long time, the volcano was within sight. However, this mountain barbarian team did not go to the volcano, but turned a corner and walked to a shorter mountain next to it.
There is a huge stone cliff on the hillside of the mountain. Under the stone cliff is a stockade with a wooden fence as the wall. The gate of the stockade has already been opened. Amid the cheers of all the mountain barbarians, young and old, this mountain barbarian team is proud He walked in angrily.
After entering this simple village, Lorist discovered that there was a huge cave under the rocky cliff in front of the village, and the team was heading towards this cave. It's just that Lorist was led out when he was approaching the cave, and he heard from the barbarian follower that as a slave, Lorist could not set foot in this sacred cave.
So Lorist could only stay by the entrance of the cave, watching the team slowly enter the cave. This was the first time Lorist saw the whole picture of this mountain barbarian team of hundreds of people. He had been at the front of the team all along. He only knew that this mountain barbarian team had hundreds of people and nearly a thousand pack horses. He didn't know what the Man team was going to Man Yuan for. Now I understand that this mountain barbarian team went to the barbarian plains to hunt and prepare meat for the winter nest. Just look at the huge animal skin packages filled with dried monster meat on the backs of the pack horses.
Oh, these beasts can enter the cave, but I can't. Lorist squatted by the entrance of the cave and complained silently. He was really curious about what the inside of this huge cave looked like. Just then, he saw Reddy.
Reddy was filthy and naked except for a hide around his waist, barefoot, and disheveled hair. Except for the tattoos of the mountain barbarians on the face and body, they are almost the same as those ordinary mountain barbarians. But at this time, Reddy looked like the fool that the mountain barbarian follower said, a little dumbfounded, and often the people in front scolded, and Reddy would move accordingly.
Lorist jumped up, "Raddy, Reddy" shouted and ran over, hugging Reddy...
A strong force came from the dog chain around Lorist's neck collar, which directly pulled Lorist to the ground and threw him to the ground. A mountain barbarian man with a leather whip cursed and beat him as soon as he swung the whip. Lorist could only protect his head with his hands and endure the burning pain.
The mountain barbarian had just whipped four or five times, and suddenly Lei Di, who was standing beside him stupidly, let out a low growl from his throat, and threw the mountain barbarian to the ground, opening his mouth and baring his teeth, wanting to bite him. Throat. The mountain barbarian was taken aback, but he had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stuffed the handle of the whip into Lei Di's mouth, and he heard the "creak" sound of the whip handle being bitten by Lei Di.
Several mountain barbarians rushed over from the side, pulling Reddy away from the mountain barbarian. The mountain barbarian got up from the ground, his face flushed as if he was also angry, he pointed at Reddy and yelled at him, telling the mountain barbarians who were holding Lei Di to let him go, and he wanted to teach Lei Di a lesson.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, after those mountain barbarians let go of Reddy, Reddy didn't rush at the mountain barbarian man, but rushed to Lorist's side, lay down on the ground, and put his head on Lorist's body Arching, arching, like a puppy acting like a coquettish owner, it almost sticks out its tongue to add face...
Everyone was dumbfounded, only then did the mountain barbarian realize that Reddy attacked him for this flat earth slave. Lorist sat up and hugged Reddy, his heart sank and tears came down. Reddy's appearance is clearly due to severe brain damage, and he can't seem to remember anything other than the attachment in his eyes...
"What happened here? Why is the way into the cave blocked?" The barbarian girl from Golden Crown Mountain came with a large group of followers.
The mountain barbarian hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Mountain lord, that dumb fool seems to know your flatlander slave. Just now that flatlander slave rushed over and hugged his name, Redy, blocking the way of our cavalry. I want to beat you He, but that dumb dumb pounced on me and wanted to bite me..."
The Golden Crown Mountain barbarian waved her hand, signaling that she knew, looked at the two hugging people on the ground with great interest, and asked Lorist, "Hey, who is he to you?"
Lorist raised his tear-stained face: "He is my student and my attendant. If he hadn't saved me, I would have been killed by my enemy a long time ago. But I didn't expect us to separate after falling into the water. He Turned into a fool, can't speak..."
The Golden Crown Mountain barbarian nodded: "Since it is your attendant, I will allow you to take him to the side, so as not to block our way into the cave. You are my first slave from the plains with status, so you You can bring your attendants, this is the proof of identity."
Lorist didn't care if he was a well-known flatlander slave with attendants, and it was the greatest surprise to be reunited with Reddy. He hastily rolled and crawled and led Reddy back to the cave, and gave way to the cave. I wondered how to check Reddy to see where he hurt his head
When it was getting dark, the mountain barbarian horse team all entered the big cave. At this time, the young mountain barbarian came over and took Lorist and Reddy to a dilapidated wooden house in the village, and called out A hunchbacked mountain man came out of the dilapidated wooden house. The mountain man's entourage stepped forward and said a few words to the hunchbacked old mountain man. The old man nodded and led them to a small shack not far from the dilapidated wooden house. He pointed to the shack and let Loris Te and Reddy go in.
The young man from the mountains stopped Lorist and said seriously: "You will spend the whole winter in this hut, if you can't make it through, you will die. So while there is still some time in winter, let's go Gather some dry grass to keep warm, tell me if you need anything, I will try my best to help you. By the way, my name is Ashu, you can ask the guard at the entrance of the cave to give me a message."
After the mountain barbarian entourage left, the hunchbacked mountain barbarian old man looked at Lorist and sneered, "A flat earth slave who has status and attendants, hahaha, it's ridiculous. I've never seen such a ridiculous thing. But It doesn't matter, anyway, you will be dead after winter, and the mountain master won't care about two hard corpses."
After finishing speaking, the hunchbacked mountain barbarian old man signaled Lorist to go with him, and when he returned to the dilapidated wooden house, the old man went in and took out a worn animal skin bag and threw it to Lorist: "Here, this is one of you." Monthly food, I hope you can survive this month, haha, go back to your shack now."
The old animal skin pocket contained kudzu root, a potato-like plant with a high starch content and a somewhat bitter taste. It was the fruit of a climbing vine. It is the best alternative ration when there is a lack of food for outdoor adventures. This bag of kudzu roots weighs about forty to fifty catties. Now Lorist understood what the black pancakes he had been eating were made of. It is these kudzu roots that are ground into powder, added with minced meat and wild vegetables, and then baked on the slate, which becomes dry food for long journeys.
The shack is very small, less than four or five square meters inside. The shack was dug about one meter deep into the ground. Fortunately, it was halfway up the mountain and the terrain was very high. Otherwise, when it rained, the rainwater would pour into it and it would have turned into a puddle. The top of the shack is a roof and a wall about 1.5 meters above the ground built by messy branches of various sizes. Not only does it leak the wind, but you can also see the stars in the sky through the holes in the ceiling. There is still a pile of weeds in the shack, which exudes a rotten smell. The ground was also dusty and muddy, and there were a few piles of excrement in the corners. I don't know which wicked person used this shack as a public toilet.
The shack didn't even have a door, only half a piece of rotten animal skin that smelled a little hanging on the entrance door, swaying in the wind. Lorist thought of the words of the young mountain barbarian attendant named Ashu, as well as the sneer of the hunchbacked mountain barbarian old man. Indeed, they were right, if they tried to survive the cold winter in such a shack, they would surely turn into two hard corpses.
But Lorist didn't take this shack seriously at all. Who would spend the winter in such a shack, that's simply a sick mind. What I care about is that no one is watching now, and I can finally let myself recover my internal energy and practice without interruption. As soon as my internal strength recovers, I will take Reddy back to the family territory. Who would be willing to stay here as a slave...
Although the night was a bit cold, it was better to sleep in the open with a piece of animal skin covered to keep out the wind than to stay in a smelly shack. Lorist found a broken earthen jar, went to the other side of the cliff to scoop some water into a pool below, washed some kudzu roots and Reddy ate them raw, and Lorist ate two of them. , but Reddy ate five in one go...
In the dead of night, Lorist quietly hid in the hut, endured the disgusting smell and began to practice and run the big week...
When the sky was about to dawn, Lorist walked out of the shack with a heavy expression on his face, and sat down next to the sleeping Reddy. Things were not as simple as Lorist imagined. First of all, he only operated one big week in one night, and his internal energy did not recover as quickly as he thought. On the contrary, he found that the meridians inside his body were very dry, and there were still many broken places that had not been repaired. It was very difficult when he was exercising and moving Qi, and there was still some pain in his internal organs.
After barely running a big week in one night, the recovered internal energy is only about one percent of what it was before. One night before the injury, he could run three big cycles, and even if he exhausted his internal energy, he could recover at least half of it. Now it is almost back to the time when I just practiced Jinshui Jue, and I need to dredge the meridians again and repair the damage. Lorist estimated that it would take him two months to recuperate his body and return to its original state.
If the internal force is quantified, one percent of the internal force recovered tonight is equivalent to one hundred strands. No wonder Lorist performed a small cycle a few days ago and recovered only a few strands of internal force. He was only doing it for himself. I was so excited to be able to regain my internal strength, I didn't even think about the reason for the slow recovery, now I finally understand, it's really a night before liberation.
Lorist sighed deeply, hugged Reddy's upper body and leaned against him. Reddy opened his eyes, and looked at Lorist innocently. Lorist softly told him not to move, put his right palm against his back, and luckily lost all his internal strength to explore the internal situation of his body.
Reddy's body is also very bad. The Calinan great swordsman hit Reddy's back with both palms before he died on the cliff, destroying several nodes of the hexagram's blood circulation in his body, so Reddy couldn't run the battle qi. . Moreover, Reddy fell from a cliff as high as 20 meters, and his head rolled down the cliff without the protection of fighting spirit. After continuous collisions and falling into the water, he suffered several heavy blows, which caused blood congestion in his brain Got a few blood clots. Lorist guessed that these blood clots suppressed Reddy's brain nerves and caused him to lose his memory. It was a fluke to remember Lorist.
There are only two ways to cure Reddy, the best way is to restore the blood flow of his battle qi, to impact the blood clot in the brain to make it disappear. But Reddy has already lost his memory, even if his body is cured, it is still a big problem whether he can remember to use Dou Qi. The second method is that Lorist uses his own internal force to impact the blood clot in Reddy's brain to wake Reddy up first, but the problem is that this method takes a long time, and the effect is a bit slow.
Maybe, I and Reddy really have to spend the winter in this shack. Lorist looked at the dilapidated shack beside him and began to think.
