South Island is the collective name of the Tana people for the southern border. There are the most luxuriant jungles, the most majestic mountains, and the most steep peaks. Starting from Tana City on the North Island, you can reach it through the small town of exiled slaves. here.
There are few people here, and occasionally hunters go into the mountains to hunt, or go up to the mountains to collect herbs, but when it comes to living in it, probably no one wants to live there, not for anything else, just because of the countless beasts and endless ways in this jungle. People who enter the forest are not people, but pieces of food to walk on. People who gather medicine and hunt all go together. Few of them are like the leader, who doesn't even know martial arts, so he puts a room in the middle of the jungle. It is a miracle that the small hut was not eaten by the tiger.
Qiao Zheng brought Zhu'er back from picking medicine in the forest, picked some edible mushrooms by the way, and then went into the kitchen.
Ever since Qiao Zheng joined the team, the work of the chef was handed over from Adal to Qiao Zheng.
Adal expressed strong dissatisfaction with this. He is a person who likes to cook very much. For him, cooking is more interesting than murder and arson. King of Chefs, but ever since the leader ate a meal made by Qiao Zheng, he never ate him again. He was deeply hit, and has been full of resentment towards this little boy ever since.
Qiao Zheng took the picked mushrooms and wild vegetables to the backyard to clean, and happened to run into A'dal who had just finished an important conversation.
Qiao Zheng greeted happily.
Adal: "Hmph!"
In the front yard, Wang Shu and Zhu'er squatted on the ground playing marbles. My brother went to make a trap and didn't play with her.
Jing Yun was very touched yesterday, and it was not the first time he had experienced danger. From the time he could remember, it seemed that his life was far less peaceful than that of other children. He was already very calm, but he had never seen such a A powerful carriage that can knock people down with just a few switches.
If his cage had that mechanism, he wouldn't have to worry about catching prey.
He wouldn't admit that he was eating wolf meat, it was too hard, too tasteless, too unpalatable!
Jing Yun went to the kitchen to find Qiao Zheng: "Grandpa."
Qiao Zheng is cutting up the wolf's leg. This is the last piece of wolf meat. Today, he must make it beautifully: "What's the matter, Jing Yun?"
Jing Yun said: "Grandpa, do you have a knife? I want to use it."
"Wait, I'll look for it." Qiao Zheng searched the kitchen for a while, but couldn't find it, so he went back to his room, took a self-defense dagger from his medicine box, and handed it to Jing Yun.
A'dal looked contemptuous: "Is it really okay to play with knives for children?" How do you act like an adult? !
Jing Yun walked towards A'dal: "Grandpa A'dal, do you have any poison? I want to use it."
Adal took out a bottle from his arms without hesitation: "Here."
The leader who just came from the bamboo forest saw this scene, and couldn't be more contemptuous, heh, is there anyone who leads a bad child like you
Qiao Zheng, Adal: If you are capable, the spear in your hand is not for Jing Yun!
Jing Yun ran over huffing and puffing: "Uncle, will you be my spear?"
…
Jing Yun took the dagger, poison and spear, and went with Dabai to the place where he made the trap. Dabai was carrying a small backpack that was extremely inconsistent with his body. Without Qiao Wei, he could catch voles as much as he wanted, not to mention how comfortable it was up.
Jing Yun found his own trap. It was an ordinary small cage with a little bait inside. When hares and pheasants came in to look for food, they would knock off the sticks against the cage cover. When the cover fell, the prey would be trapped in the trap. inside.
This is the method Jing Yun learned from his mother, but it is not easy to use in the Yin Clan. The hares here are so smart, they actually know how to kick over the cage and let the bait roll out by itself.
His younger sister had already killed a wolf, but he didn't even catch a rabbit. This challenged his little man's self-esteem.
He decided that no matter what today, he must hunt back a... beast!
He took a knife and poison, sharpened a few branches, coated the tip with poison, and made a few simple poison arrows. Then he inserted the poison arrows into the cage and used the branches and leaves as a cover. He pulled a long, transparent fishing line, crossed it three inches above the ground, and tied it to the big tree opposite. He pulled several, and it looked like a small transparent fishing line. After a while, as long as there is a prey attracted by the fragrance in the cage, no matter whether it eats the food in the cage or not, as long as it touches the formation he made, it will trigger the mechanism, and seven or eight arrows will be shot at the same time. There is nowhere for the prey to escape.
In order to prevent other beasts from picking up the leak, Jing Yun also installed a small bell on the cage, so that he could hear the movement here immediately.
After doing this, Jing Yun was in a good mood, clapped his hands, and went back to the small hut with Dabai.
In another part of the jungle, Hazuo and 20 of his subordinates carefully searched for the way. The frontmost one was Fei Jia, who was leading the hunting dog. Fei Jia was the guard who reported to Ha Zuo that they had found the trace of the three.
In fact, he was not Ha Zuo's confidant, but the last errand guard under Ha Zuo's men. He didn't have many important tasks for him on weekdays, training dogs, doing odd jobs, and his days were almost over. This time it was due to lack of manpower, so he was thrown out by throwing nets indiscriminately. Others didn't take it seriously, but he saw it as an opportunity to show his strengths, and the results paid off. found the person.
Fei Jia looked at the obviously excited hound, and said respectfully to Ha Zuo: "Master Ha Zuo, we are very close to the target, please pay attention to your own safety."
Ha Zuo snorted disdainfully: "Last time I was careless about his way, this time I came prepared, he won't have any chance to fight, you just lead the way!"
"Yes, Lord Hazo." Thinking of something, Fei Jia asked again, "But Lord Hazo, are we going to catch him alive or not?"
Ha Zuo said: "Of course it is to catch them alive, it is still useful to keep them, but... if you really can't catch them, you all follow my orders!"
This means that it is not for my use or anyone else's use. Everyone understood and agreed in unison.
Fei Jia continued to lead the way, and the hound wagged its tail, getting more and more excited as it went forward, as if... Seeing a long-lost prey, Fei Jia gradually couldn't hold the rope: "Binu, slow down! Don't run!"
Instead of hearing his order, the hound called Binu barked and rushed out!
Fei Jia had no choice but to run along.
"Wow! Wow!"
The hound yelled, kicked its hind legs, jumped up, broke free from the rope, and rushed to the cage under the cover of the tree branch.
It jumped over the transparent fishing lines and didn't touch the switch, but unfortunately, although it didn't touch it, Figa who was anxious to catch it back did, and saw the arrows in the cage like It flew out like lightning!
With a scream, Fei Jia was shot, the hound bit out the meat in the cage, and ran away barking.
The copper bell on the cage made a pleasant sound.
Ha Zuo quickly drew out the scimitar: "There is an ambush ahead! Stop!"
"A prey has been hooked!" Jing Yun's eyes lit up, his buttocks were still warm, there was a prey, today's luck couldn't be better, "Dabai!"
Dabai happily jumped over, one big one and one small one ran into the jungle, but to Jing Yun's disappointment, what he hunted was not a ferocious beast, but a person.
"Wow woof woof woof!"
The hound that finished eating the jerky finally remembered its owner and came back to look for him. It smelled Jing Yun's breath as soon as it sniffed, and opened its mouth to bite Jing Yun. Before it could bite a hair of Jing Yun, He was sent flying by Dabai's paw!
Seeing the situation, Jing Yun said, "Dabai, let's go!"
Dabai ran towards Jing Yun.
Jing Yun ran in the direction of the hut, turned back after a few steps, found a money bag on the man, and then ran back to the hut with short legs.
"I'll go catch him and have a look!" A'dal turned around and went into the forest, and caught him back. Fei Jia was only shot in the calf, and the injury was not serious, but the arrow was poisonous, half of his leg was swollen up.
Adal's stick rested on his neck: "Who are you? How many of you have come here? What do you want to do? I've said it, I won't kill you, if I don't say it, I will beat you to death now!"
Figa refused to speak.
A'dal swung his stick and beat him violently, but he still refused to speak.
The leader smiled sinisterly: "It seems that it is impossible to let him suffer a little bit, Adal, cut off his fingers! If you ask him once and don't say anything, then cut off one. Ask the last seven or eight times. gone."
Adal persuaded: "Master, you can't do this."
Qiao Zheng nodded again and again, yes, yes, the two children are still there, and the ground is covered with blood, which will scare the children.
A'dal said: "It hurts too much, he will scream, it's not good to attract people, it's better to make him dumb before cutting him."
Qiao Zheng: "..."
The leader thought this method was very good, but he didn't have any poison with relevant effects on him, so he looked at Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zheng frowned: "Why are you looking at me? I'm a doctor! I'm not a killer! My hands are for curing people! My medicine is for practicing medicine! It's not for you to do this kind of thing!" He took out a paper bag from his arms, "Half a bag at a time!"
After saying that, he turned and entered the house.
A'dal grabbed Fei Jia's throat, shook his hand, and poured down the whole bag.
Fei Jia instantly felt that his throat had lost all feeling. He pinched his throat with his hands and howled a few words, but he could no longer make any sound.
The leader was very satisfied: "A'dal, ask him something."
A'dal always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong all of a sudden. He kicked Fei Jia's shoulder and said with a serious face, "Who are you? How many of you are there? What is your purpose?" Say it or not? If you don’t say it, I will chop you up. You can’t scream now, even if you are chopped into meat paste, no one will find out. If you don’t want to suffer, just say it!”
Fei Jia was roaring in his heart, he was dumbfounded by poison, what should I say? how to say...
Adal: "The leader won't say anything."
Lord leader: "Chop it up."
Figa is about to collapse!
On the other side, the spies sent by Hazuo came back and reported respectfully: "Lord Hazuo, the subordinates have already investigated clearly. There is only one ambush ahead, which has been cleaned up. Fei Jia is gone, and the hound is injured. From the bloodstains From the looks of it, they should have brought Figa back to their turf."
Ha Zuo squeezed his fist dangerously: "How many of them are there?"
The subordinate said: "There will be no more than seven."
Ha Zuo smiled coldly: "You are so small, you can't resist the warriors of my Biluo family! Brothers, go!"
A group of nineteen people, wielding big knives, rode their horses towards the small hut.
The sound of horseshoes, shouts, and majesty came, and Fei Jia, who was about to be chopped off, retrieved a finger. Adal kicked Fei Jia away, listened intently for a while, and said to the leader: "Total The nineteen people are all masters, and the odds of winning in a hand-to-hand match are slim."
The masters that Adal spoke of were no ordinary Lianjiazi, they were the most elite forces of the Yin clan, and in real fights, even Kyushu Law might not be effective.
Together, the two decided to divide the troops into two groups. He led Qiao Zheng away on horseback, and A'dal took the two children in a carriage and left by the other way.
The children obediently jumped into the carriage, and the two white and pearl also jumped on.
A'dal waved his whip, and with a bang, the carriage drove away!
Ha Zuo's men were about to arrive, and the leader, without knowing where the strength was, grabbed the people around him and put them on the horse's back.
He sat in front, waved his horsewhip, and left the west path like lightning.
The leader raised the speed to the extreme, and the people behind him were lying on the saddle, vomiting bile.
The leader felt flustered, so he freed his hand and handed him a handkerchief.
He reached out to take it.
The leader glanced at his hand from the corner of his eye: "When did you change your clothes?"
After the words fell, I realized something was wrong, and when I looked back, Nima, it wasn't Qiao Zheng, it was Fei Jia!
Qiao Zheng's heart was also extremely broken. He just collected some medicinal materials in the house and ran out, and the horse and the car were gone. The whole yard was empty, and even the half-dead hostage was gone.
What about running away together? !
Is it too disrespectful? !
"Hey! Where are you guys?!"
Hatzo's army galloped into the jungle.
Qiao Zheng was so frightened that he fumbled around in the baggage for a long time and finally found the dagger. He pulled out the scabbard, held the dagger tightly with both hands, and watched the guards running towards him vigilantly and tremblingly.
Ha Zuo tightened the reins and raised his hand. Everyone stopped. Ha Zuo took out a bow and arrow from the saddle and aimed at Qiao Zheng: "Tell me, where did that man and the two children go?"
Qiao Zheng didn't say anything.
Ha Zuo fully loaded his bow and arrow, and sneered: "It's fine if you don't say anything, do you really think we can't find it?"
After saying that, he let go of his finger, and the arrow left the string, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air. Seeing that it was about to hit Qiao Zheng, suddenly another faster arrow caught up behind him. It smashed it into pieces with a bang!
Hazuo's eyebrows twitched, and he turned around. At almost the same moment, another arrow came towards him. Hazuo swung his scimitar to block it. The arrow was so powerful that it pierced through its scimitar. went over and shot him in the shoulder.
Although the injury was not serious, but the opponent only shot an arrow, Ha Zuo felt vigilance and fear in his heart.
The fear of the unknown is the most terrifying. Hazuo was inexplicably shot with an arrow without even seeing the opponent's shadow. This made Hazuo dare not fight head-on. Dahl and the leader chased after him in the direction they left!
Qiao Zheng stared at the lush jungle: "Who is it?"
Ji Mingxiu led the horse and came over: "Father, it's me."
Qiao Zheng was overjoyed: "Son-in-law! You are finally here! Go find Jing Yun and Wang Shu quickly! That group of people went after them just now! Even... Even I don't know which way to get Jing Yun and the others... "
Ji Mingxiu nodded and said, "Yan Feijue and Ji Wushuang have already gone, don't worry if you can find them."
As early as the moment Jing Yun and Wang Shu fled in the carriage, the wind-chasing bird also changed its course and chased after him. Ji Mingxiu came to have a look after hearing Qiao Zheng's voice.
Ji Mingxiu took Qiao Zheng out of the city in the direction he came from, and Ha Zuo's two teams were busy chasing Jing Yun and the leader, but they didn't know that the leader had already abandoned the horse, and the horse was carrying Fei who was tied up by five flowers. Jia, and Jing Yun had already joined Yan Feijue Ji Wushuang.
What Ji Wushuang and Yan Feijue learned was that someone pretended to be Ji Mingxiu and took the two children away. The moment they saw A'dal, they fought A'dal without saying a word.
After the fight, he happily took A'dal to join Ji Mingxiu.
"Daddy!"
When the two little buns saw Ji Mingxiu, they jumped out of the carriage and threw themselves into their father's arms!
Ji Mingxiu squatted down, one in each hand, and hugged the two little guys tightly. He was not thin, but seemed to be fat. His heart that had been hanging for a day was finally relieved, and he rubbed the two little guys. Head: "Who brought you here?"
Wang Shujian said bluntly: "It's Uncle Shuai and Grandpa A'dal!"
"Uncle? Grandpa?" A trace of confusion flashed across Ji Mingxiu's eyes, and he looked in the direction of the carriage, but there was no sign of anyone on the carriage.
Yan Feijue looked around: "Eh? No, it was here just now! Adal! Adal!"
"Grandpa Adal!"
"Grandpa Adal!"
Adal didn't respond.
He and the leader stood on a high hillside, quietly looking at the direction of the foot of the mountain.
On the trail at the foot of the mountain, two little buns had already boarded the carriage, but they still opened the curtains, and stuck their little heads out of the window to look around.
Adal's nose was inexplicably sour: "Are you looking for us?"
The leader had a cold expression on his face: "You are so ugly, who is looking for you? If you are looking for it, you are looking for me."
Ji Mingxiu was riding on a horse, and the steed was walking leisurely. He always felt that someone was watching him, but when he turned around, he only saw endless mountains.
The heavy rain fell and wet the skirt of the clothes, the leader put on the cloak indifferently, turned around and fell into the rain.
