Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 18: The Dragon Shadow on the River Mian
That night, Lin Shuo and others spent the night on the mountain.
Before, Wang Yong said that he felt being stared at, so in the past two days, Wei Xingshan was very careful and sent people to touch all the nearby hills.
The result did not find anything suspicious. A wild boar was found and shot down by Wang Yong.
This is a big guy weighing more than five hundred catties, just like a small hill, and it took four mercenaries to take it back to the camp.
Everyone is very excited, but also a little worried.
The mercenary squad on this mission were all elites in the army before they were discharged from the army, and none of them were from the cooking squad.
For such a big wild boar, they can kill it, and it's even more trivial to eat it. Only how to deal with it on this barren mountain is nothing.
Of course Lin Shuo would, but he didn't intend to do it, and no one else dared to pretend this matter before him.
In the end, the old professor He Zihong stood up and cooked the wild boar with his disciple Yang Tuo.
The two people are both experts in the biological world. He Zihong is responsible for the gestures, and Yang Tuo is responsible for the hands-on work. In a short while, this small wild boar was skinned, shed, and unloaded.
Don't look at it as two literati and scholars, but those who are engaged in biological research don't take less scalpels. When Yang Tuo went with the knife, he would not touch the bones at all, he was very relaxed.
The pork is almost decomposed, He Zihong walked to Lin Shuo and smiled slightly: "Mr. Lin, I saw you have some seasoning on your body before, can you borrow some?"
Lin Shuo glanced at the biological authority, didn't say anything, took out the bottle of homemade condiment from his bag and handed it over.
He Zihong took the seasoning, but he did not leave. Instead, he sat down next to Lin Shuo and continued to ask: "Mr. Lin, can I go with Xiao Yang on the riverside trip tomorrow?"
"No." Lin Shuo shook his head.
"Can you tell me the reason?" He Zihong was not in a hurry, his expression was kind and his tone was calm.
"Then why are you going?" Lin Shuo asked rhetorically.
"Hehe." He Zihong smiled, "I have a hunch, this time, there is a great possibility that we can see it."
Lin Shuo shook his head and said, "That dragon king messenger used the method of a person in the door to pass this news to me, then this matter is no ordinary thing. Can I see the black water dragon king, I don’t know. .But the danger of the matter is not small. I go alone without any scruples. If you bring the two scholars, it will be inconvenient."
He Zihong looked at Lin Shuo's expression, did not insist anymore, but smiled: "Well, we follow Mr. Lin's arrangement."
When He Zihong walked away with the condiment bottle, Anne walked over again, sat cross-legged beside Lin Shuo, and asked softly:
"Can I go then?"
Lin Shuo didn't say a word.
"Brother Shuo, take her." Myna bird flew back from the forest with a hula and stopped on Lin Shuo's shoulder, "This lady is obedient and won't mess with us."
Lin Shuo glanced at Xiaoba, thought for a moment, and nodded: "All right."
"Thank you Mr. Lin."
……
Early the next morning, in the direction of the village on the other side of the mountain, there was a sound of beating.
Almost the entire village, some carrying sacrifices, some driving animals, and some banging gongs and drums, made their way to the riverside lively and slowly.
Lin Shuo and Anne were standing on the top of the mountain, looking at this group of people.
"Wow, there are so many things." Anne exclaimed.
Lin Shuo looked at the movement under the mountain, feeling a little surprised.
There are indeed many sacrifices for this trip.
There are more than 20 domestic animals like chickens, ducks and geese that have been processed. They are placed on pallets with red cloth strips tied around their necks.
There are three live pigs, and they are handled very cleanly. Each of the six men carries a half fan on their shoulders.
Behind the crowd, there was still a cow driving.
These things are not a big deal in China, but here, these villagers have undoubtedly lost their money.
"The old guy, this time I made a lot of money." Xiao Ba said.
When Lin Shuo had a conversation with the Dragon King’s messenger yesterday, the bird hid in the tree and heard it all.
"He is alone, can he catch it?" Anne asked softly, "There is still a live cow."
"Don't worry about that." Lin Shuo said, "No matter how bad he is, he is also a member of the family. There is always something that ordinary people can't have."
While speaking, Lin Shuo took Anne and Xiao Ba, and began to descend the mountain, trailing behind the villagers.
After trailing for a while, Lin Shuo didn't continue to follow, but turned into a fork in the road.
There are just a few mountain roads here. The villagers walked before, in fact, the one that Lin Shuo and the group of people walked across the chain bridge two days ago.
The place where the villagers gave their sacrifices should be the chain bridge five kilometers away. Lin Shuo doesn't need to follow, he needs to go to a higher place to find a suitable observation position.
Furthermore, this group of people is making a lot of noise, and they can't lose it.
After turning on a side road up the mountain, Lin Shuo quickened his pace a bit.
His acceleration is gradual. While accelerating, he observes whether Anne can keep up.
This woman is unusual, he knows this, but he has been too lazy to delve into it. Since there is a chance to be alone this time, you might as well give her a try.
Lin Shuo grasped the measure, naturally wouldn't go all out, but after slowly accelerating for five or six minutes, the speed at his feet was no longer what ordinary people could keep up.
But Anne, a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament, is not only able to keep up, but she can even do her best.
Different from Lin Shuo's style of striding meteor, Anne's way of going up the mountain is much more fancy.
Where the branches can be broken with your hands, you can borrow some strength; wherever the rocks step on and jump over, you can copy a few meters of shortcuts; where there is no other way, you can only walk the mountain road honestly.
All the details on this mountain seemed to be clear in her mind. After following Lin Shuo for more than ten minutes, her face was not flushed or panting, and the beautiful figure stayed with Lin Shuo at all times.
Lin Shuo knew how Anne went up the mountain.
She really is in the door.
This type of shenzhen is called "Zaishan". There are not many people in this world who know this, and they all have the same surname.
"Didn't you hide well before?" Lin Shuo asked as he walked, "Why can't you help it now?"
"If you don't reveal your identity, I'm afraid you will blame it." Anne leaped slightly and walked side by side with Lin Shuo, and said with a sweet smile.
"No wonder you know where I live in seclusion." Lin Shuo shook his head and said in a light tone, "Since you have crossed the same threshold, why do you hide from me? You always use words to deal with me. . Your tutor is really good."
After Lin Shuo finished speaking, Anne's face faded for a while, and she quickly explained: "Patriarch Lin, don't blame it! Our branch has always been overseas. My parents passed away early. Etiquette, I really don’t understand."
"Why do you suddenly understand the rules now?" Lin Shuo asked.
Anne lowered her head and said: "I just feel that Patriarch Lin is already testing me. If you don't let you know your identity, you may never trust me again."
"Finally, I'm still a bit clever." Lin Shuo glanced at Anne, "Okay, it's all people who have no parents, so just call away from the Patriarch and Patriarch. Remember, if something happens later, don't you Act rashly and listen to my arrangements."
"Hey!" Anne responded.
At this time, Xiao Ba flew to Anne's shoulder, lightly pecked Anne's hair, and said: "Ms. Madame, are you a doorman for a long time?"
"Yes, Baye."
"Hid it deep enough."
"Master, I dare not anymore." Anne stuck out her tongue, but her eyes turned to Lin Shuo.
"Madam, how many generations are you in your family?" Xiao Ba asked again.
"I call you the eighth master. It must be your junior." Anne said, "According to seniority, I should call Mr. Lin uncle."
"No need, just call him elder brother." Xiao Ba said grinningly, "Otherwise, it will be a poor senior, and it will be difficult to develop in the future."
"Then if I'm a peer, should I be called Baye...Mynah?" Anne asked with her eyes narrowed into a crescent, holding back a smile.
"Madam, I'm only twelve years old without you pretending to be as tender as you." Xiaobatou leaned back and flew back to Lin Shuo's shoulder.
The two of them are talking, and they have reached the top of the mountain.
Lin Shuo didn't make a mistake in choosing this mountain. It is the highest mountain in a radius of a hundred miles, with a great view.
Looking down from here, the group of villagers who went to deliver sacrifices were not much bigger than a group of ants. The big river that had blocked Lin Shuo and his party for more than four hours was not far ahead.
The breeze on the top of the mountain slowly brought the smell over there. Lin Shuo twitched his nose twice, but did not smell anything abnormal.
"It's a bit far here." Anne also saw the following scene clearly, and asked softly, "If the Black Water Dragon King appears, can we catch it?"
"Madam, why did you suddenly become stupid." Xiao Ba said, "Heiwater Dragon King is so big, and his home game is in the water again~IndoMTL.com~You really think that our brothers are gods, you can take it for nine days. In the month, can you catch turtles in five oceans?
The root of our hunters is on this ground. Once we get into the water, we lose 80 to 90% of our ability. Fighting that guy by the water, isn't that looking for death? It has to be brought to land! "
"This is so far away, how can I lead it?" Anne asked.
"Isn't there a chasing master!" Xiao Ba jumped onto the giant recurve bow behind Lin Shuo, and pecked the bow. "You think so? Chasing the master."
"Little Eight, stop talking." Lin Shuo stared at Jiang Mian's eyes and suddenly narrowed.
He took a backhand and took the recurve bow from his back:
"There is movement in the water."
Anne heard Lin Shuo's reminder and looked over quickly.
Sure enough, on the surface of the river, a black figure, looming, was swimming slowly underwater.
This river, looking down from the mountain at the moment, seems to be only three feet wide.
But this river Anne has ever seen, the narrowest water area is at least more than 50 meters.
And this black shadow is under the water, like a big river eel swimming in a small ditch.
It's not amazing at first glance, but when you think of Jiang's width, it's scary.
"This is the big guy." Lin Shuo said softly, and took a backhand copy again and took off a bow and arrow with a thick arm.
