The hunting team was walking through the distant mountains, and the dense forest blocked the view ahead. The rapid and slightly chaotic footsteps alarmed a bird and flew towards the distance. A young man was talking about his past experiences during hunting, and he spoke vividly and touchingly, as if he was immersive, and the listener became excited. The older one just smiled and suddenly a man laughed loudly and asked, "Boy, is that you? It seems that it is your father." The young man who spoke immediately rose

He blushed and stuttered, "I...I didn't say...I didn't say it was me." A group of young people burst into laughter, and another young man sighed, "Uncle San is so amazing! He killed a elk alone." Someone corrected, "Who said he was alone? I was still there at that time!" It seemed like he was deliberately making a fuss, and a few people also shouted, "I'm still there!" "I'm here too!" The young man stretched out his tongue and made a face, and hid in the team again.

But someone said, "If you want to be awesome, who can compare with Mr. Zhu? His archery skills are extremely accurate!" Several people echoed at that time, "No, Mr. Zhu is the most powerful!" "Hey! Where has Mr. Zhu gone?" Suddenly someone found that Old Man Zhu disappeared. "He said he would go to Xiaojie and he would follow him in a while." Liu Rulong, who led the team, replied.

Someone made fun of it: "It takes so long to soak the urination, and it's enough to water the fields." Another burst of laughter. Although it was a joke, it reminded Liu Rulong that he felt something was wrong. Old Man Zhu had indeed left for a long time. Everything could happen in this wilderness. He didn't want to encounter any bad things before he got off. Besides, Old Man Zhu is not an ordinary person, he is the soul of the hunting team. He turned around and said to Liu Rufeng who was following behind, "Go and take a look."

The one who was talking just now was Liu Rufeng. When he saw Liu Rulong's eyes, he immediately understood and left the team and headed towards the position when Old Man Zhu left.

Old Man Zhu was standing on a hill with a cliff below, and you could clearly see everything in the valley below. A petite figure was crossing the valley, and seeing that the situation was coming to this side. Old Man Zhu was happy and jumped down the cliff. He stood steadily on a cloud pine that had grown three feet below. He jumped and fell on a convex rock two feet below. The convex rock was only enough to fall one foot, and he saw Old Man Zhu's body suddenly slipping down. Two feet below his body had already landed on a bluestone standing in the lower left. The bluestone was only more than one feet high, and the bottom of the valley was below.

A boy of eleven or twelve years old across the valley, with his sword-like eyebrows and eye sockets like a canyon. His bright eyes are like two stars embedded in the canyon. His tall nose bridge sets off his sexy lips, and his young age already has a faint masculine look. He is wearing a coarse gray long suit and trousers, with a black belt around his waist, walking like the wind, walking freely in the woods like an agile cheetah.

After a while, the woods had already come out and came to the almost dry riverbed in the valley. The rugged rocks were like the scraps of honeycombs, dense and regular, which was formed by rain. The flowing water faintly appeared under the stones, and only the rustling sounds made when stepping on the stones will prove their existence.

Seeing the smile on the face of the old man Zhu who was coming, a happy expression roaming in his eyes. "Xiaozhuer, it's late today." Old man Zhu was afraid that the boy wouldn't hear it, so he waved from afar. Although he was blaming, he still had a smile on his face. Zhu Zhu grinned and said, "The water in the pool is getting less and less, and it takes a lot of effort to soak the whole body. I'm leaving now, I'll soak it for a while."

As they spoke, the two were already close. A piece of fine sand was exposed in the middle of the riverbed. The gravel mixed in the sand emitted a scattered light, like a colorful gem. The boy suddenly shouted, "Oh, there is a pit here!" His feet suddenly fell into the sand, and there were patches of water spilling around him, gurgling and bubbling. The boy's face was not panicked, and his eyes were looking at his feet calmly, motionless. Old Man Zhu took a few steps and suddenly slowed down. When the boy fell to his knees, he stopped sinking. He frowned, revealing a look of extreme disappointment, and said, "So it's so shallow!"

Old Man Zhu had already arrived in front of him, and looked at the young man's fair feet pulling out of the soft sand, and said, "Your shoes!" The young man patted his head and suddenly woke up, "Oh! I forgot in the cave, I'll go and get it now." The young man was about to turn around when he heard Old Man Zhu shout, "Don't go. After leaving here, I'll buy you a new pair."

"Oh!" The boy showed a look of disappointment than before, and looked at Old Man Zhu blankly. Looking at the boy's ignorant and tender face, Old Man Zhu began to feel a sense of separation again, and whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, we will come back in the future." The boy smiled.

"Old Zhu, why are you going where you are? It turns out that Xiaozhu is here too." Liu Rufeng's voice came from afar. His voice was very loud, but it became faintly vaguely when the wind blew. Liu Rufeng came all the way and walked to the hills. He saw Old Man Zhu and Zhu. Old Man Zhu frowned. Liu Rufeng's appearance was still a bit unexpected. He reminded Zhu Zhu a few times, and then turned around. This was the bottom of the valley, and the sound was small. Liu Rufeng, who was standing on the pretty cliff, could not hear it.

"Brother Rufeng, Zhu Zhu secretly ran away. You go first, I'll take him back and chase you after you go back." Old Man Zhu said loudly. He couldn't hear clearly on the cliff. Liu Rufeng stood up for a moment before saying, "It's not far away that the second valley is. When will you rush back if you go back? Why don't you take Zhu Zhu to catch some prey in the second valley? Don't go into the mountain belly." Liu Rufeng knew in his heart that without Old Man Zhu, let alone hunting in the mountain belly, he couldn't guarantee that he would be in the second valley.

We can catch prey like elk. In addition to having skillful hunting skills, we must also have superhuman perception. If we cannot know where the prey is, no matter how skilled the prey is, it is useless. Although hunting large prey is nothing for them, it is an extremely rare opportunity for young hunters to experience. But now he has to consider Zhu Zhu's safety. After all, Zhu Zhu is the only seedling of old man Zhu, and no one can bear any mistakes.

"No. I must send Xiaozhuer back anyway, it's too dangerous here." Old Man Zhu didn't agree, and his expression was very firm. Of course, Liu Rufeng couldn't see clearly, but he just felt something from his voice. Liu Rufeng was so worldly, so how could he not think of Old Man Zhu's mood? After he heard Old Man Zhu's words, he said, "This is the case! I'll send Xiaozhuer back, and you and Brother Rulong and others will join in to hunt. None of them will be delayed."

Old Man Zhu was frozen there and didn't know how to answer. He didn't expect such a situation to happen before. If he refused again, Liu Rufeng might be suspicious, and he knew what it meant after he flatly refused. He didn't want to break with the Liu family in Bailu Village when he left. After all, these are simple and kind people who once gave him a place to live. If he did what Liu Rufeng said, his plan would be ruined, and the next hunting would be one month later. It is even hard to say whether he could implement his own plan at that time.

Looking at the beautiful cliff in the distance, Old Man Zhu knew that he had no way out, so he could only continue to implement his plan. "Brother Rufeng, I just saw Xiaozhuer here, and in a hurry, I fell off the beautiful cliff. Although I was injured, it was not in trouble. Go and find a rope to pull us up." Liu Rufeng was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. He said he had sent Xiaozhuer back, but he didn't expect this. Seeing that there was no rope except the longbow and hunting fork on his body, he shouted: "You guys wait, I'll go now."

Seeing Liu Rufeng's figure disappear from behind the cliff, Old Man Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled at the boy, saying, "Let's go!" They did not leave the valley, but followed the riverbed toward the upstream.
