Hunter of the Forbidden Region Chapter 38: Meet the dragon and the phoenix
In the depths of the Great Xing'an Mountains, the upper reaches of the Wuming River.
Here, the Wuming River gradually divides into small rivers, stuck in the mountains like capillaries, drawing water from the mountains.
For herder Liu Shunfu, these rivers are the fields he harvested.
After autumn, as he passed the village to preside over the Dragon King Festival, those sacrifices would eventually fall into his pocket along these small rivers.
It’s just this year’s harvest, which is much worse than in previous years.
Partly because the Black Water Dragon King was injured, Liu Shunfu had to deliver most of the sacrifices into his mouth so that he could recover as soon as possible.
The other part is that there is little rain this year, and the crops in the mountains cannot be kept alive. The livestock is particularly precious this year.
For villages outside the Xing'an Mountains like Longxinggou, life is better. The situation in the mountains is not so good.
In the middle of the night, Liu Shunfu was holding a canoe and waiting at the mouth of the river.
Junianggou is the most remote village here. After the Dragon King Festival has just been held, according to the rules, sacrifices will be thrown into the river this evening.
The sacrificial offering floated here along the current, about this time.
Liu Shunfu didn't have much hope for the harvest tonight, because he had lived in Jiunianggou for a day.
The situation of Jiunianggou this year is like Mingjing in his heart. If you don't starve to death in winter, that's pretty good.
At this moment, on Liu Shunfu's shoulder, a starling bird whose whole body was wrapped like a zongzi stopped.
Xiao Ba stared at the water without saying a word.
"Lin's Phoenix, don't be afraid. Under the water is my Dragon King." Liu Shunfu whispered, "Speaking of which, he knew some of your ancestors more than a hundred years ago. According to my grandfather, this black dragon and Heifeng, the friendship is pretty good. For you, it's after an old friendship. With this incense, it won't hurt you."
"Old man, you are really funny." Xiao Ba said, "I'll still be afraid of this broken snake? You call it up, see Ba Ye, I won't peck it to make his head bloom."
The surface of the water was surging, and a huge snake head came out of the water, and slowly turned his head in front of the canoe, looking at one person and one bird on the canoe.
The eyes on the snake's head, with the pupils standing up, look incredibly hideous.
With a "poof", a stream of water shot out from the snake's mouth, impartially, drenching Xiao Ba on Liu Shunfu's shoulders soaked, but Liu Shunfu was not touched by the water at all.
Xiao Ba was stunned.
"Hehe." Liu Shunfu smiled, "Although my Dragon King can't speak, he can still understand people's words. If you scold him or praise him, he is very clear in his heart."
After spraying the water, the snake head slowly moved in until it was close to the bow of the canoe, and then stopped.
This huge black water dragon king, whose entire head is the size of a container truck, is almost close to Xiao Ba's face.
Xiao Ba was not afraid at all, and shouted: "Old man, you have the ability to untie the bandage on my body. I will fight this snake for three hundred rounds!"
The Black Water Dragon King tilted his head, tilted his head and looked at Xiaoba for a while, then spit out Snake Xinzi.
Its snake letter is thicker than a bucket, but it spits out of its mouth very slowly.
The giant snake gently licked Xiao Ba's abdominal wound, and then wrapped it in a snake-like shape and sent Xiao Ba to its head.
"It recognizes you and likes you very much." The Dragon King's messenger smiled, "Lin Family Phoenix, reach out and don't hit the smiley person."
Xiao Ba stood on the head of the Black Water Dragon King, was silent for a while, and slowly squatted down, and lightly pecked the head of the Black Water Dragon King with his beak, and said: "Okay, Lord, I'm only reasonable. Bird. Hello, Dragon King."
The two huge eyes of the Black Water Dragon King blinked, and another stream of water came out of his mouth, which fell on the surface of the river in the distance.
Xiao Ba tilted his head, puzzled by the behavior of the Black Water Dragon King.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!" Three more streams of water fell on the surface of the river.
"Are you... are you kidding me?" Xiao Ba understood a little bit.
The giant snake's head moved up and down, as if it was nodding.
"Hey, I'm not a kid!" Xiaoba turned his head in disgust, "Dragon King, you are so naive."
"Puff!"
"It's okay."
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
"Old man, take care of it."
"Puff!"
"Old man, look at the river, your business is coming!"
After Xiao Ba said these words, Liu Shunfu, who was kind-faced, finally looked in the direction of the river.
This estuary is the intersection of the river near Jiunianggou and Wumingjiang.
At this time, in the moonlight, Liu Shunfu vaguely saw a few things floating on the river.
Holding the canoe closer, he finally saw that it was a sacrifice.
Eight pigs, three cows, twelve chickens, twenty ducks, and nine geese.
"Why so many!" Liu Shunfu was stunned, "Send these things out, what will they do for the winter?"
Then he figured it out, with a wry smile on his face: "It seems that Jiunianggou is pinning the hope of the winter on the Dragon King, and then he has taken out the entire stockade. It's over, this The transaction was lost."
After saying this, Liu Shunfu shook his head for a while, and said to the Heishui Dragon King who was playing on the surface of the river: "Fool, you are busy this winter. There are more than 400 people in this village, which is not good. Feed it!"
"Puff!"
Liu Shunfu's body was soaked by the river water.
……
The first night in the outer Xing'an Mountains, Lin Shuo regretted taking Wei Xingshan with him.
This mercenary leader is far more capable of walking in the wild, but even so, Lin Shuo feels that he has slowed the journey to an awful degree.
In one day, Lin Shuo traveled twenty kilometers on the map.
If this continues, it will take at least two days to reach Jiunianggou. This has not yet considered the factors that will cause Wei Xingshan's physical exhaustion and slower speed.
Wei Xingshan collapsed by the bonfire at this moment, breathing like a bellows.
"I was in the army back then. As long as I was training on two legs in the field, I have never been afraid of anyone." Wei Xingshan gasped, "Are you two people?"
Lin Shuo broke off a branch, threw it into the bonfire, and glanced at Wei Xingshan: "Obviously it is his own food, and he blames others."
"Team Wei is actually very good." Anne, sitting across from Lin Shuo with her knees on her knees, said, "Don't look at the map. We only advanced 20 kilometers, but this is a winding mountain road. I estimate For a moment, our actual journey today is close to fifty kilometers."
"So I don't think you two are human." Wei Xingshan complained. "Mr. Lin, I don't know how fast he runs. How did you do it, Miss Anne, I see you on your way today, that You are so familiar with the road! Why, have you been here before?"
"No." Anne smiled.
"Then how did you do it? Today I followed Mr. Lin on the mountain road, and my lungs almost exploded after following Mr. Lin." Wei Xingshan looked puzzled, "You haven't seen people much today, you are all in the wild. Jump, how did you keep up with us."
"The mountain road~IndoMTL.com~ is for the convenience of people walking. Because of the limited terrain, many times I have to stay close and seek far." Lin Shuo said lightly, "Her hand is called'listen to the mountain'. Just put your ear on the foot of the mountain to listen. In a short while, the entire surface structure of the mountain was in her mind. In addition, she was flexible and ignored the obstacles on the mountain, so she was actually easier than us to cross every mountain."
"Listen to the mountain?" Wei Xingshan widened his eyes and looked at Anne, "Miss Anne, are you in the door like Mr. Lin?"
"Yeah." Anne nodded slightly, "but I'm far from Mr. Lin."
"I didn't expect it." Wei Xingshan shook his head, "Mr. Lin was a hermit, I can understand it. Miss Anne, you studied abroad when you were a child, and look like a modern urban woman. It's also in the door."
"The people in the door have to keep up with the times." Anne laughed, "If you don't accept new things, just cling to the old things, you will soon be eliminated by the times."
"Ms. Anne, if you say that about Mr. Lin, I can't listen to my old Wei!" Wei Xingshan smiled, "He is a little conservative, but he can stand it!"
"Captain Wei!" Anne glared at Wei Xingshan, "You know I didn't mean it."
"Old Wei." Lin Shuo shook his head, "You have the energy to do things, so you might as well save your energy and rest. Tomorrow, I won't wait for you on the way."
