One day at noon, the small Dragon Claw Beach suddenly became lively. About 30 outsiders rushed into the village along the road leading to the outside world. The black suit was also strong and tough, and you could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

The most eye-catching thing among the crowd was a young man, wearing a colorful clothes, leaning obliquely on a large bed, and there were two petite and beautiful maids serving him next to him. The bed was carried by eight burly men, and there was also a large yellow umbrella cover on the top of the bed to protect the sun and shelter from the rain.

There were so many outsiders in the village all at once, and Meng Xiang was naturally alarmed. However, he just took a look from a distance and quietly retreated, turned around and rushed to Yan Shi's home.

After Meng Xiang rescued Yan Shi that day, he encountered a beast on the road and explained the deaths of Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan and Yan Shi's injuries, which eliminated the suspicion of the villagers.

Dragon Claw Beach is located in a remote place. Although few beasts break into the village directly, beasts such as tigers and leopards can often be seen in the surrounding mountains and forests, and people are often attacked by them.

The villagers felt very sympathetic about Yan Shi's experience, but no matter what happened, as long as people live for a day, they will continue. The time is not long, and except Yan Shi, the villagers forgot about this matter.

In fact, in addition to Yan Shi, Meng Xiang is also paying attention to the subsequent development of the matter. Although in his previous life, after Yan Shi's family of three was killed, he received a report that the city lord of Guyang City, the closest to Longzhao Beach, sent someone to investigate and nothing happened again, but this time the three murderers were killed, and he might not say whether there would be any other twists and turns.

This time, when he saw the thirty or so outsiders, he suddenly felt a sudden sensation. His intuition told him that their arrival was likely to be related to the death of the three murderers. In addition to the similar clothes they wore to the three murderers, the temperament they revealed was also very similar.

When he saw Yan Shi, he looked at his face that looked particularly haggard because of his parents' death, and sighed secretly, but he still said straight to the point: "Stone, there are many foreigners coming to the village. I think they are likely to have something to do with the three people who killed the uncle and aunt. If my guess is correct, they are likely to come to you. What are you going to do?"

After hearing Meng Xiang's words, Yan Shi was slightly shocked and woke up from the grief of losing his parents. He looked at Meng Xiang, stunned for a moment, and said seriously: "Brother Meng, you understand, you are stupid, how can you do it? Brother Meng, just say what you have if you have any ideas. I'll just listen to you."

Speaking of this, Yan Shi showed a guilty look on his face: "Brother Meng, it's all my fault. If it weren't for my greed, none of this would have happened, I..."

"Okay." Meng Xiang waved his hand, "Shitou, don't say anything, everything is over. The most urgent task now is how to deal with these outsiders."

"Well, Brother Meng, do you have any good ideas?"

"The good idea is too bad. I don't think we can meet them directly. If they really have something to do with the three murderers who killed the uncle and aunt, we may be in trouble and may also affect the villagers. So we cannot arouse their suspicion, that is, we must find a reason to avoid them."

"Reason? What reason? I can't think of it." Yan Shi scratched his scalp and showed a distressed expression.

Meng Xiang shook his head slightly and said lightly: "Actually, the reason is easy to find. We just need to go into the mountains to hunt."

"It is indeed a good reason to go into the mountains to hunt." Yan Shi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Shitou, you have packed up some things. Well, remember to bring more seasonings. We may have to stay in the mountains and forests for a while. I will go back and pack up my things now and come to you right away. If you are in trouble before I come back, just wait for me in the old place, and I will meet you."

Meng Xiang quickly returned to his home, took off a long knife, a bow and arrow from the wall and a quiver filled with twenty sharp arrows. After thinking about it, he took out the octagonal box from the iron box under the bed. Before leaving the door, he put a bundle of sharp arrows that had exceeded fifty on his back.

When Meng Xiang came to Yan Shi's house again, Yan Shi was already waiting at the door with an anxious look on his face. In addition to bringing a machete and a bow and arrow, he also placed a half-person-high cloth bag at his feet, which was bulging inside, and I don't know what it was filled with.

Neither of them spoke, but just looked at each other and walked quickly outside the village. However, when they passed by Uncle Wang's house next to Yan Shi, Meng Xiang suddenly stopped, thought for a while, walked to the door, and knocked gently. Yan Shi seemed to be a little confused about his actions, but he didn't say anything.

Soon the door opened, and a face carved out by time was exposed. Seeing Meng Xiang and Yan Shi's outfit, she smiled and said, "Brother Meng, Xiao Shitou, are you going to hunt?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang. You know the situation between Shi Tou and me. We are going to go into the mountains in the current good season and hunt some prey to Guyang City to exchange for some food. If there is no reserve, life will be difficult in winter."

Uncle Wang sighed: "Poor child. Hunting is a good thing, but you are still young, so you must pay attention to safety."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry. Don't look at Shi Tou and I are young, we are all veterans of hunting. This time we are planning to stay in the mountains for a longer time. I want to ask you to help me take care of my Shi Tou's house. When we exchange things for something from Guyang City, we will definitely invite you to have a good wine."

"Haha... Brother Meng, you'll see you. Everyone is from the villagers, so it's time to help each other. Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of your house."

"Then thank you Mr. Wang."

Uncle Wang seemed to have heard something and asked, "Brother Meng, Xiao Shitou, where are you going to hunt? How long are you going to stay in the mountains?"

Meng Xiang was not surprised by Mr. Wang's problem. The villagers in Longzhaotan usually tell their acquaintances the scope of hunting and the time to come back to prevent accidents, so that the villagers can search and rescue them.

"Well, we are planning to stay in the mountains for a longer time, about seven days, and the longest is no more than ten days. As for the location, our brothers are going to go to Wild Wolf Valley to try their luck. I heard that during this period, the wolf skin in Guyang City is more popular."

"Wild Wolf Valley?" Uncle Wang showed a worried expression, "Brother Meng, Xiao Shitou, I think you should go to another place to hunt. Wild Wolf Valley is really too dangerous."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry. We brothers will definitely be careful."

Seeing what Uncle Wang was going to say, Meng Xiang winked at Yan Shi, said goodbye to him together, and left quickly.

The two of them entered the mountains and forests in a familiar way and soon disappeared. Although they carried a lot of things, they were all people who had suffered hardships since childhood, and these burdens could not help them.

After walking about six or seven miles, Meng Xiang suddenly stopped, looked around, and quickly walked towards a relatively secret fork. While walking, he turned around and said to Yan Shi: "Stone, be careful when walking, don't leave any traces."

Yan Shi nodded, followed Meng Xiang carefully, and asked in confusion: "Brother Meng, aren't we going to Wild Wolf Valley? This road is not the direction to Wild Wolf Valley."

Meng Xiang did not answer Yan Shi's question immediately, but asked him to continue moving forward. He himself stayed until the fork in the road was completely restored to its original state. Even the old hunter could not find the abnormality, and then chased Yan Shi.

But after walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something again. He took out a pocket of animal skin the size of a palm from his arms, poured out a small pinch of dark brown powder, carefully dispersed not far from the fork in the road, and nodded all over the place.

"Brother Meng, you haven't told me why we changed the hunting location? If an accident occurs, wouldn't anyone come to rescue us?" Seeing Meng Xiang walking up quickly, Yan Shi couldn't help asking again.

Meng Xiang patted Yan Shi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Shitou, why can't you turn around? Do you really think that we entered the mountains to kill wild wolves?"

"Isn't it a wild wolf?" Yan Shi frowned, and soon he remembered something, "Oh, I remembered that this time we were trying to avoid that group of people from other places. If they wanted to know our whereabouts, they would ask Mr. Wang. When they knew from Mr. Wang that we were going to the Wild Wolf Valley, they would definitely rush over, but we went to another place, they would not be able to find us. Also, as long as we entered the deep mountains, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, and they were not as familiar with the terrain as we were, they would be even more unlikely to find us."

Meng Xiang shook his head: "Shitou, you are actually very smart many times, but you are not willing to use your brain."

"Hehe..." Yan Shi showed a silly smile, "Isn't this you, Brother Meng? You have thought about everything, why do I need that brain to do?"

As he said that, Yan Shi's expression suddenly sank and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Meng, do you say they can't find our traces. Will they borrow hunting dogs from the villagers? You must know that the hunting dogs in the village are all familiar with our smell."

"Don't worry about this. I had already dispersed tiger feces at the fork in the road. Even if the hunting dogs in the village smelled our scent, they would not dare to chase after us..."

As he said that, Meng Xiang's expression suddenly changed. He looked at the way he came, made a gesture to Yan Shi, and ran quickly along the path. Although Yan Shi didn't know the reason, he also knew that now was not a good time to ask.

The two of them ran nearly ten miles in one breath before sitting down on a flat slope to rest. On the way, Meng Xiang made several more maze formations. If it weren't for the experienced tracking master, it would be difficult to see through.

Yan Shi picked the water hyacinth and handed it to Meng Xiang. He asked with some breath, "Brother Meng, why did we run away just now?"

Meng Xiang took the kettle, took two big sips, and wiped the water marks at the corner of his mouth with his sleeve: "Those outsiders have already chased him. If we delay a little longer, they might be locked up."

"They are chasing me? Brother Meng, why didn't I find it?"

"As soon as we entered the forest, we made simple disguise, and the disturbances of birds and animals was very small, especially the birds on the trees on the roadside were basically not shocked. But not long ago, I found that a large number of birds suddenly flew up, and the location was on the road we were walking. From this, I decided that someone must have chased them, and there were quite a few. At this time, the people who would enter the forest must be the group of outsiders."

Yan Shi cast an admiring look: "Brother Meng, you have such a good eye. You have discovered such a small flaw."

There was no joy on Meng Xiang's face, but on the contrary, it seemed a little heavy: "Shitou, I want to tell you some bad news."

“What bad news?”
