The endless mountains stretch into the distance.

Xia Jian followed Long Lu and his grandson from midnight until dawn, but what he saw in front of him was still mountains one after another. Xia Jian stood on the top of the mountain, breathing the fresh air, like a bird from a cage.

The little bird that escaped.

Grandpa Long Lu was so tired that he sat down with his back against a big tree. Looking at his gray hair and beads of sweat, Xia Jian felt extremely guilty. This was all the trouble he had brought to others.

It almost caused a catastrophe.

"I wonder if we are safe now?" Xia Jian suddenly asked involuntarily.

The old man closed his eyes and said: "It's absolutely safe. We walked on a mountain road of at least fifty or sixty miles. There should be five or six mountains behind us. They probably won't chase us here. Because we are the only one on this road.

People who gather medicine or hunt know this.”

"Oh! Then you guys rest for a while, and I'll go find something to eat. Let's replenish our energy before we leave." Xia Jian said and put down the backpack on his back.

Only then did he feel relaxed all over. Although it only weighed a few dozen kilograms, it was still quite heavy after carrying it all night. Only then did Xia Jian remember that he was so tired as a man, let alone Long Lu.

.

Long Lu leaned against the tree pole, panting slightly. When she saw Xia Jian coming over, she smiled slightly and said, "What? You want to hunt pheasants again? If you have the ability, you can give us a different taste."

Xia Jian looked at Long Lu's provocative look and suddenly felt that this woman was both beautiful and cute. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay! Since you have this request, I will hunt a wild boar for you, but what?

Eating is your business." Xia Jian casually joked with Long Lu.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Long Lu, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He licked his lips and said, "As long as you can fight back, it's up to you how you want to eat it. But I can tell you, this roasted wild boar is really good."

It's so fragrant. Even if you try to fight one back with your bare hands, that's a fool's dream. I think you shouldn't take the risk. It's better to be safer when hunting pheasants."

The old man said and swallowed. It felt as if the wild boar meat had been eaten into his mouth.

Xia Jian glanced around and said, "Grandpa Long! It seems a bit difficult to light a fire in this place. Should we change places? You guys have a rest after this, and I'll go find something to eat."

"Well! The young man is very discerning, but it's really not possible here. Let's go a little further. If I remember correctly, there will be a cliff with stone slabs underneath. It's the best place to make a fire." The old man said, feeling a little struggling.

He stood up and Xia Jian hurriedly went over to help him.

Under the leadership of Grandpa Long, the three people walked forward again. What the old man said was indeed true. Under the cliff, there was a stone slab of twenty or thirty square meters. What was surprising was that under the cliff, there was

At a glance at the mountain spring, the water was crystal clear. As soon as Xia Jian saw it, he ran over and climbed down to take a sip.

A cold and sweet taste flowed down his throat, and Xia Jian suddenly felt refreshed, but when he turned around, Long Lu and his grandson were already lying on the stone slab, looking as if they were asleep.

They were really tired. After walking dozens of miles of mountain roads, they sat down to rest for the first time. The old man was old, and Long Lu was a woman. It was really not easy.

Xia Jian stretched his muscles, raised his head and looked around, then quickly walked into the forest. There were many trees, wild vines and weeds here, and it felt like no one had ever been here.

Xia Jian took out a steel dart from his waist, whittled several javelins more than one meter long, then put it under his arm and walked gently forward. Based on his experience of going into the mountains many times, like this

In a planting area, wild boars should be the most abundant, but pheasants may not always be found.

But where is this wild boar? The sun is rising higher and higher. Due to the dense vegetation, it seems a bit airtight. So Xia Jian feels extremely hot. In addition, he is holding a wooden javelin and the road is not easy to walk. After a while, he

Just sweating profusely.

What should he do? He can't go back empty-handed! Even if he shoots a bird, he can easily explain it! But there is not a bird chirping in this damn place.

It was so hot that Xia Jian reached out and grabbed a branch and sat on the trunk. As expected, there was just the slightest bit of cool breeze on it. Just when Xia Jian was enjoying this rare coolness, he suddenly noticed the weeds not far from him.

It started to move around. Xia Jian was delighted and stared at it carefully for a while. Hey! What a bunch of wild boars.

The group of wild boars didn't know that there was a man sitting on the tree pole staring at them. So they walked unscrupulously through the weeds and came over. Their sharp teeth bit the weeds and made a terrible sound.

Xia Jian adjusted his sitting posture, put several wooden javelins under his left armpit, and then held one in his right hand and pointed it at the wild boars moving towards his feet. Ten meters, nine meters... Xia Jian estimated the distance.

With a whoosh, the wooden javelin in his hand flew out and went straight to the shoulder of a wild boar walking in front. Hearing a scream, the wild boar suddenly ran forward. The javelin did not penetrate, but

It fell to the ground.

Pigs are pigs. When they found someone attacking in front of them, they did not turn around and run back. Instead, they all rushed over with a roar, as if they were fighting you tooth and nail.

Xia Jian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and threw the javelin in his hand towards the wild boar group. After a burst of screams, Xia Jian was disappointed, feeling that he did not hit a wild boar. I don't know if it was because the wild boar's skin was too thick, or because of his own strength.

No, there might be something wrong with the position. In short, he didn't hit any of them.

After jumping off the tree pole, Xia Jian was thinking about what he should do. His eyes lit up. Not far from the tree, a wild boar was lying on the ground, with the wooden javelin he had just thrown stuck in its back.

The guy kicked its legs a few times and twitched twice. By the time Xia Jian walked over, it had already died. Xia Jian laughed, grabbed one of its hind legs, and dragged it back.

When Long Lu saw Xia Jianzhen dragging a wild boar back, she happily shouted to her grandfather: "There is meat to eat, we have wild boar to eat."

"Hey! You are really a genius. You managed to beat back a wild boar with your bare hands. It's very rare!" The old man laughed and took off a small knife from his waist.

Xia Jian threw the wild boar in front of the old man and said, "It's up to you. I have to take a rest."

"No problem, leave this place to me and Long Lu. You just lie down and have a rest, and just wait to eat the wild boar for a while." The old man said and started to move his hands.

When Long Lu heard this, he said in a low voice: "I don't care, I want to hear how Xia Jian shot this wild boar." As Long Lu said, he actually ran over.

Xia Jian laughed and said, "It's very simple. There's nothing to say. If you see a wild boar, just use a wooden javelin to poke it in."

He also felt extremely sleepy.

Long Lu snorted coldly and ran over to help her grandfather roast the wild boar.

Xia Jian fell asleep. He didn't know how long he had slept. Anyway, he was attracted by a particularly fragrant smell and opened his eyes. He sat up suddenly and saw that the wild boar's skin had been peeled off.

A javelin was inserted from the wild boar's mouth and came out directly from the buttocks.

On both sides of the fire, high stones were piled up, and the two ends of the javelin were placed horizontally on the stones. The fire roasted the wild boar, making a crackling sound, and the aroma came from here.

"Come and eat, let's hurry up after eating, otherwise the smell will attract the wolf," Grandpa Long said to Xia Jian with a big smile.

Long Lu, who had just returned with the kettle, glanced at Xia Jian and said, "Don't be stunned. We have to leave quickly, otherwise we will have to sleep in the mountains again tonight."

Xia Jian nodded, ran over, took out the steel dart, and cut off a piece of the wild boar's butt just like Grandpa Long was eating it. My dear, it's really delicious.

Xia Jian can be regarded as a person who has traveled far and wide and eaten many delicious meals. But this is the first time for Xia Jian to eat such delicious wild boar meat. He couldn’t help but smile and said: "Grandpa Long! You can catch up with the ancient food

"The royal chef"

"I don't dare to take this seriously, but the craftsmanship is quite good. In this way, we will eat so much that we can eat more than we can eat and roast it and eat it on the road. But we have to leave a big piece, otherwise it will be too heavy to carry on our backs.

, If we carry such fragrant meat on our backs, we will really attract wild wolves." Grandpa Long said and glanced at Long Lu.

Long Lu ate with relish and didn't care what her grandfather was saying. Xia Jian understood what the old man meant, he took a deep breath and said: "It's important to have a hurry, it's best to travel light. Save some food and leave the rest.

Don’t regret throwing it all away”

Grandpa Long nodded and began to make preparations while eating.

After eating meat and drinking water, he couldn't eat anymore after a while. Not only Xia Jian, but also Grandpa Long stopped. After the old man packed up the meat he had eaten on the road, he put it into Xia Jian's backpack, and then put the rest

Everything that fell was thrown into the fire.

Long Lu looked at it with a look of pity on his face, but in this situation, it was still important for them to escape. After saying that they had temporarily escaped from the danger zone, they didn't know what the road ahead would be like? No one could tell.

Since everyone rested for a while and replenished energy, they walked much faster. Grandpa Long still walked at the front. Because this road is not often walked by people, it is particularly difficult to walk. Not only do you have to eliminate obstacles on the road

Sometimes you have to identify things to see if you are going the wrong way, so it is difficult to improve your speed.

When the sky was filled with stars, they walked out of the forest. Xia Jian suddenly felt relaxed all over, as if a layer of things covering his head had been removed instantly.

Looking at the lights in front of him, Grandpa Long said: "There is a small village ahead. We can find someone to borrow a dormitory for one night."

"Grandpa! Why don't we go into the village for the time being, because I'm worried that if some group of people is waiting for us here, then we will fall into a trap," Xia Jian said with a little worry.

Grandpa Long thought for a while and said: "You are right. Since we know this place, others can naturally find it. I want to think about whether we can go to the cave behind and spend the night."

"Okay! The cave is quite dry, so sleeping is not a problem. When I came with you the year before last, didn't we stay there for one night?" Long Lu said softly.

Grandpa Long didn't say anything anymore, so he took Xia Jian and Long Lu to find a cave. It was just as their grandfather and grandson said. Although the cave was not big, it was very dry inside. The three of them lay down quietly.
