[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral

After entering the mountain, the villagers left behind have different mentalities.In addition to worrying about their own family members, some people were also worried that Zhang Zirui would be slowing down, while some people felt that at least there was something wrong, and that if they escaped, some people would be at the bottom.

"Oh, this matter in the village is not kind. If one day our family is tricked like this, how can we women and Taoist families live?" I don't know who sighed, and those who had nothing to do with themselves thought One cool.

That's right, letting a weak scholar and an underage child go into the mountains to hunt wolves, isn't it obvious that people will be sent to death?How can someone be so vicious in their always simple Sanshui Village? If one day their own family is also hated, that day will really be impossible.

No, I have to tell the head of the family that such things must be put an end to in the future, otherwise I will not be able to live in peace in the future.The Wen family was still walking, after all, the Wen family was the common surname in the village.Others are a little different. In this village, the old Wen family almost always have the final say, and they have always excluded people with foreign surnames. It seems that they have to be more careful.This incident made the people of other surnames in the village other than Wen's family unexpectedly unite.

In the end, there were only more than 80 people in the team that entered the mountain, most of whom were stout men.In addition to the third uncle, there were seven or eight old hunters in the lead.I don't know how long they will stay in the mountain this time, so they all brought a lot of things with them.Some necessities such as water bags, dry food, weapons, etc.

"Brother, you are not in good health, I'll carry your things." Wen Qiwu said to get Zhang Zirui's things.

"No need, just some dry food and water, not too heavy." Zhang Zirui politely declined Wen Qiwu's kindness. The spiritual energy in the mountains is strong, his body has recovered, and his spiritual energy is fully enough to support this mission.

"You can't even carry this little thing, and you still want to learn how to go into the mountains like others? No one cares about you if you hold us back." Zhang Zirui just finished speaking, and someone answered the words in a strange way.

"You don't know that, he is a scholar with a reputation as a scholar."

"A frail scholar also comes to the mountains to pretend to be a man, so he should go home early and cry with his daughter-in-law."

After speaking, the group of people burst into laughter, the irony was very obvious.Wen Qiwu couldn't see their arrogance, he was clumsy and couldn't speak, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit them.Zhang Zirui held him back, now is not the time to do it.

"What are you doing blindly? Are you full of breakfast? Or are you afraid that the wolves won't know you're coming? Let me tell you, you are also a drag in this mountain. Shut up and drive carefully." A man with a bow and arrow on his back, waist The old hunter with the machete, with a cold face full of wrinkles, glanced coldly at those arrogant young people.The old man had seen blood all year round, and he was full of hostility. Those people seemed to have some scruples about him, and they just kept their heads on their way unwillingly after being told.

The old man, surnamed Zhou, was a well-known old hunter in the village.The old man's daughter-in-law was able to give birth. There are six sons in their family, and they are also top hunters.His sons are all married, and their descendants are prosperous. The whole family is powerful, and few people in the village dare to provoke them.Old man Zhou is the one and only master at home. If anyone offends him, it's enough to cause headaches if his daughters-in-law come to slap on the door.Not to mention that his children and grandchildren would come to the door all day to make troubles, it was really terrible.

Although Sanshui Village is located in the south, due to the severe cold weather recently, the mountain is covered with a thin layer of white snow.Although there were many old hunters in the team, it had been three days since the wolves entered the village. With such a large forest, it was not so easy to find the wolves.They had nothing to gain on the first morning, so they rested for a while at noon and ate some dry food before heading on the road again.

The weather is cold, the mountain roads are difficult, and we have to be careful and fearful.At some point in the afternoon, some people who don't often go into the mountains will be overwhelmed.The third uncle and the few old hunters headed by them looked at the ineffective youngsters, sighed and shook their heads.When they saw Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu who didn't change their faces, they were very surprised.

It seemed that we couldn't continue our journey today, and it was getting late. After discussing, the old hunters took them to a cave in the forest to rest.The cave is big enough to hold them all.

The third uncle led the old hunter to assign tasks to everyone, such as collecting firewood, hunting, cooking, and even the people who were on duty at night.Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu were assigned to collect firewood, while the group of arrogant young people were assigned to hunt.

This day's dinner is the dry food brought by each of them, and there is also soup made from the prey that has just been hunted.Everyone carries a piece of bamboo tube with them. After the soup is cooked, they scoop it into the bamboo tube with a spoon.One tube per person, and then a little bit of meat.Everyone just ate the broth and some dry food.This will not only warm the body, but also fill the stomach.After dinner, everyone gathered around a fire to rest in groups of a dozen or so.

At night, Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu sat by the fire, leaning against the rock wall in the cave, wrapped in the thin quilt they brought from home.There were several fires burning in the cave, though it wasn't too cold.But because there are so many people, the smell is really bad.In this semi-enclosed space, the smell of feet and sweat stimulated Zhang Zirui's sense of smell.

"The younger generation of the Zhang family performed well today." Old man Zhou sat down beside Zhang Zirui and said with a smile.

"Master Zhou, I just try not to hold back." Zhang Zirui didn't know where he fell into the old man's eyes.

At this time, the second, third, and fourth sons of the Zhou family saw that their father had moved, so they also packed up their things and crowded over, insisting on changing places with others.Just kidding, if there is something wrong with his father, there is no need for the eldest brother to fix them after going back.They will not let themselves go, his father has worked so hard to raise them, and they are still waiting to enjoy the blessings.

"That's right, keep it up." After the old man Zhou finished speaking, he wrapped himself in the quilt that his second child had covered him, and fell asleep soundly, his snoring sound was loud.

Zhang Zirui's head was full of black lines, and he couldn't figure out what old man Zhou was going to do.But there is no malice on him, so it should not be to harm him.Not long after, the brothers of the Zhou family also fell asleep, the snoring sound was comparable to that of their father, Zhang Zirui was speechless.Well, I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep today.On the other hand, Wen Qiwu slept soundly, which made Zhang Zirui, who was harassed by snoring, very envious.

Early the next morning, the group packed up their things and set out on the road again.This time they went deeper and deeper into the mountains, and gradually there were traces of beasts.Fortunately, they did not encounter any hunting beasts.

"Oh~~" With a howl of a wolf, everyone's expressions suddenly sank.They are already very close to the target, and they are also close to danger.

Their group's goal was too big, so they divided into several teams, led by several old hunters, and began to set traps around.The third uncle took two experienced old hunters to inquire about the situation.

Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu were dragged into his team by old man Zhou, Shi Shi was very relieved about this.The sons of the Zhou family took the lead in setting traps. Seeing the completion of simple and effective traps, Zhang Zirui couldn't help admiring the wisdom of the working people.Once again, he underestimated these people for himself and silently reviewed them, because he thought that these people were going to confront them head-on.

After the third uncle came back, he brought good news.There are only more than 20 wolves in the wolf pack in total. With so many of them, it is almost four-to-one, and the odds of winning are great.Hearing the news, everyone's faces were filled with joy.

After setting up the trap, they hunted a few hares in the distance and let the blood out to attract the wolves into the trap.This method worked very well, and soon more than a dozen wolves rushed over.They were in groups of two or three, and moved forward vigilantly to the place where the smell of blood came from.

Upon approaching, the wolf did not immediately lay down.Instead, it was spinning around, as if confirming something.Zhang Zirui was lying on the grass not far away, staring closely at the trap not far away.It was also the first time for Wen Qiwu to come into contact with a ferocious beast at such a close distance. He nervously grasped the bow and arrow in his hand, waiting for Master Zhou's order.

☆, Master Zhou is domineering

Several wolves circled around the trap for a long time, and when everyone was about to lose patience, a wolf finally pounced on the rabbit in the trap.But its companion remained silent, looking around warily.

At this time Master Zhou raised his hand, Zhang Zirui quickly set up his bow and shot an arrow. Winter wolves are very vicious, but their fur is thick, which is the best leather material.Zhang Zirui attached spiritual power to his hand, fully drew the bow and shot at the furthest wolf.The arrow flew out, and an arrow shot through the wolf's eyes, and the wolf died immediately.

At this time, other people's arrows were also shot out one after another, but with different strengths and different aim.However, the men of the Zhou family are worthy of being good hunters, with sufficient strength and accuracy.Wen Qiwu's aim was good, but not strong enough.

The wolves fell into an ambush, and their companions died, and immediately burrowed into the grass.The forest was full of trees, and the hunters lost their target in an instant.

"Oh~~" There was another howl of wolves, and the wolves disappeared.

Seeing that no one on his side was injured, he repelled the wolves and shot several wolves.The young people in the team were suddenly full of confidence and felt that they were extremely brave.The young man who was dazzled by the temporary victory, ignored the old hunter's call and rushed forward.Chase the wolves and run into the woods.

"Damn it, a bunch of grandchildren who have done more than succeed in their affairs." Master Zhou took a bite, cursing angrily.There were more than a dozen people in their team, at this time there were only four Zhou family masters, and Zhang Zirui, Wen Qiwu, and the Chen family brothers.

The other old hunters were also very angry, but they couldn't watch those people being carried away by wolves, so they could only bite the bullet and follow.Fortunately, there were still a few calm people around them, otherwise it would be really dangerous.The old hunters scolded those who chased them out in their hearts.

"Father, should we follow?" Zhou Er Er looked at Master Zhou.

"Go, why don't you go? But they have to be bitten by wolves to save them. They are as stupid as pigs, and they deserve to be bitten by wolves." Master Zhou said bitterly, glanced at the few people who were not stupid with satisfaction, and then cursed to the woods.

The three brothers of the Zhou family followed Master Zhou closely, but they did not dare to surround Master Zhou.Mr. Zhou is a very competitive and stubborn old man. If his son dares to make a gesture of protecting him, he will definitely kick him.

"Second brother, follow me closely later, you know?" Zhang Zirui followed the Zhou family masters, and Ah Wu and the Chen family brothers were also accompanying him.

"I see, brother-in-law." Ah Wu nodded, honestly listening to what brother-in-law said was correct.

"Oh~~" There was another wolf howl in the distance, and the human screams echoed the wolf howl.

"Fucking shit, go away, something has happened." Master Zhou cursed angrily and quickened his pace.

Those who rushed out to chase the wolves did not take advantage as expected.Because the forest is large and the trees are luxuriant, when they chased them out, they became a mess, and those wolves under the command of the wolf pack started to counterattack.In an instant, the battle situation was reversed, and those who were alone were surrounded by wolves.Those with a large number of people kept chasing the wolf shadow who was lingering.According to Zhang Zirui, these people are stupid.

Fortunately, the old hunters who came out this time were accompanied by a few calm people, and the rescue was timely.Otherwise, I don't know how many people will die.However, they were still caught in a difficult battle. It was hard to find people who ran away, and if they were found, the injured people also needed to be taken care of.

Zhang Zirui didn't care about that, he followed the steps of Zhou's family, just went all the way, and threw the injured to others to take care of.In the words of Mr. Zhou, who made them so stupid, they wouldn't be able to die for a while, so it's better to kill all the wolves first.

Zhang Zirui took this very seriously, they had already killed several wolves along the way.The Zhou family brothers were covered in blood, but most of them were wolf blood.Having seen them fight fiercely, they are indeed tough, no wonder no one in this family dares to provoke them.

There were a few brothers from the Zhou family charging ahead, but Zhang Zirui and the others didn't have much pressure. There were already more people than wolves, so the situation was very good.Of course, this is only for them, and it's hard to say for others.

After running in the woods for most of the day, everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted.Most were panting and pale.Even Zhang Zirui, who had turned on the cheat, felt exhausted, as expected, he still didn't practice enough.If it wasn't for the abundance of spiritual power in the mountains, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

There is a difference only when there is a comparison. Seeing that the strong men of the Zhou family still move like that, he really feels ashamed.Wen Qiwu was also sweating profusely at this time, with a tired look on his face.

"Wolves are very vengeful. If we don't wipe them out today, they may not dare to go to the village, but people who enter the mountains will be in danger." Master Zhou looked at the sky and sighed.

"Father, it's okay. We brothers and I will go to the mountain together." The third son of the Zhou family didn't worry about this problem at all.

"Help me—"

At this time, the voice of help came, Zhang Zirui squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the call for help, the voice was very familiar.When he saw clearly that the person was Wen Qiquan, he smiled.It's a pity that although Wen Qiquan was chased by wolves, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

Zhang Zirui quietly took out a small stone from his pocket, and flicked it towards Wen Qiquan's ankle.Wen Qiquan only felt a pain in his ankle, staggered and almost fell.Zhang Zirui was very sorry, if he hadn't been exhausted, Wen Qiquan probably wouldn't have been so lucky.

But even so, it affected his speed, and he was bitten on the ass by the wolf behind him.He screamed, a piece of flesh on his buttocks was torn off, and blood flowed out, it was too horrible to look at.

Zhang Zirui felt that maybe Wen Qiquan's buttocks would be divided into yin and yang from now on.

At this time, the Zhou family made a move, shot the wolf through with a bow and arrow, and successfully rescued Wen Qiquan.The Chen brothers stepped forward and poured a lot of hemostatic medicine on Wen Qiquan's wound.

"It's getting dark, go and help him up." Master Zhou looked at Wen Qiquan, who was sweating profusely and pale in pain, with disgust.

Zhang Zirui didn't move, Wen Qiwu kept silent when he saw that his brother-in-law didn't move.The Zhou brothers still have to protect their own father, so they don't have time to take care of the wounded.Only the two brothers of the Chen family looked at it, and saw that no one made a move.The boss of the Chen family had no choice but to step forward and set up Wen Qiquan.

The other people were not idle, they carried the dead wolf body up and followed Mr. Zhou to join others.Considering the danger in the woods after dark, the group took the wolf carcass back to the cave where they had rested before.Worried that the smell of blood would attract other beasts, the old hunters also did some treatments to cover up the smell.

In today's cave, there is no relaxation from yesterday.Painful groans were everywhere, and the cave was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

After the third uncle counted the number of people, he found that there were still two people missing.And when these people were found, seven were seriously injured and 25 were slightly injured.Most also had some scratches or scrapes on their bodies.The third uncle sighed and summoned the old hunters leading the team to discuss matters.

Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu were exhausted that day, they looked around first, and seeing that Uncle Shitou and the others were not seriously injured, they found a corner to sit down and rest.

"Brother, are you injured?" Although Wen Qiwu performed well today, Zhang Zirui still protected him behind him at any time.

"I'm fine, thanks to Uncle Zhou and the others, what about you?" To be honest, if it wasn't for the brothers from the Zhou family, he would have lost his strength a long time ago.After knowing that there are no cultivators in this world, he is a little complacent and too impetuous.

People in this world have been nourished by spiritual energy for a long time, and their physique has improved a lot.Those with a little bit of ability are definitely rough guys who can withstand fights and falls, and are at the Xiaoqiang level.Take those men from the Zhou family as an example.

"I'm fine." Wen Qiwu was just tired.

After a while, several brothers from the Zhou family came over, and even the two brothers from the Chen family also came.So these people got together again.

"You guys are doing well." The second child of the Zhou family smiled generously after sitting down.The third and fourth children nodded in agreement.

"Thank you uncles for taking care of me today." Zhang Zirui felt that Zhou's family was very appetizing to him this week, straightforward and cute, filial, protective, and united.

"It's just a small matter. It's been a long time since I've had such a good time." The second son of the Zhou family waved his hand indifferently.

"Boy, I think your arrow skills are good. The fur of the first wolf you shot was shiny, thick and dense. The most precious thing is that it was not damaged at all." The third child of the Zhou family looked at Zhang Zirui and praised him with a smile. The eyes are the best among the brothers.

Hearing what he said, the Chen brothers and Wen Qiwu looked at Zhang Zirui in surprise.

"Uncle Zhou Zhou saw all of this. You are really good. But no matter how good the fur is, it doesn't necessarily belong to me." Although Zhang Zirui wanted the fur, he was thinking about it when he drew his bow, but he was the one who allocated it. Can't talk.

"That's not necessarily true. The few of us have killed a lot of wolves today, much better than those cowards. If we don't even distinguish the skins, I won't do it." Zhou Laosi said angrily, they are all those idiots, It's just that his father is so old and has been working hard for a day, so they can't take advantage of it.

The Chen brothers nodded approvingly, and they also put in a lot of effort today.Although not as good as Zhou's brothers, they are definitely much better than those idiots.

They are not the only ones who are discussing the spoils, the old hunters who are discussing are also arguing at this time.

"Zhou Tiechui, tomorrow you will take some people to bring back the injured people and those wolf corpses. I and some old guys will take a few people to search in the mountains to see if we can find anyone." The third uncle also felt bad about this. , but the two people who disappeared were the younger generation of the Wen family, and he couldn't ignore them out of emotion and reason.

"Okay, I think those wolves are almost dead. It's just how to divide the wolf carcasses brought back?" But the ugly thing is to say that there are many people and few wolves, and the distribution is also a technical task.

"Wolf skins will be distributed to the person who killed the most wolves, and the family cannot have more than one piece. For wolf meat, more will be distributed to those who are injured." The third uncle was silent for a while before he said.

"Those stupid idiots who did bad things, why should they get more points? I don't like it. If it weren't for those idiots who are so stupid, they wouldn't be like this. If you want me to say that they did it themselves." Proposal blows his beard and stares angrily.

"Zhou Tiechui, calm down, those people came into the mountains to exterminate the wolves. Although they are also at fault, they are still young and inexperienced. They are all injured, and it's okay to give them more meat." The third uncle felt a little headache. Good advice.

But if he was easy to talk to, he wouldn't be Zhou Tiechui anymore.And he is still the kind of scholar who meets soldiers in soldiers.

"I just don't like it. Going into the mountains to exterminate the wolves is not for anyone, but for the whole village. Those bastards don't obey orders, mess with each other, drag their feet, and harm others and themselves. Why do you still take care of them?"

Old man Zhou's voice was so loud that everyone around could hear it.Those who were scolded lowered their heads in shame and indignation, feeling somewhat resentful towards old man Zhou in their hearts.In addition, those who were dragged down felt happy in their hearts, as if they had spoken their hearts that they dared not say.

Several other old hunters saw them arguing and divided into two factions.The Wen family must support Third Uncle, while others support Old Man Zhou.The third uncle is actually not a bad person, and he can also be said to be a good person.But in this day and age, who wouldn't protect their own family, and definitely wouldn't bend their arms outward.

"Those kids bravely rushed to the front, so what if they get hurt a little bit more?" The old man of the Wen family, known as Uncle Nine, was unhappy when he heard what old man Zhou said.

"Your head is not broken, are you, rushing ahead? Who the hell told them to rush? They forgot to take their brains out of the house? Then don't come out to harm others. Who are you old Wen's family? Those who are disobedient and get injured are mostly from your old Wen family, right? The food is really ugly." Old man Zhou roared angrily, not saving face for others at all, and slapped his face. It's crackling.

Zhang Zirui listened to the old man Zhou's angry shout, and the admiration for him in his heart was like a surging river.This old man lived so happily and openly, he sighed and felt ashamed.

"Third brother, fourth brother, it's better for our father to talk happily." Zhou Laoer looked at his father adoringly, and agreed with his words.

"Second brother is right." Zhou Lao San and Zhou Lao Si nodded with concern.

The mountains are not peaceful, and neither is the village.Those Wen family members who died were more or less close to Wen Qiwen's family.I don't know who instigated it. It is said that these disasters were all caused by Wen Qiwenke's father, Kemuke and six relatives. If he was allowed to stay in the village, everyone in the old Wen's family would be killed by him.As a result, many Wen family members gathered to drive Wen Qiwen away.
