mage in the late qing dynasty

chapter 18

Laoyinggou is a forbidden place among the villagers of Lugangling Village.

There are deep forests and lush leaves, and the terrain is complex.

Even old hunters who often run in the mountains usually don't go there.Only an eagle soaring into the sky with a knife-like gaze dares to hover there.

In addition, tigers, leopards and bears often appear in the deep mountains and old forests. This is not a later age. Humans have forced large wild carnivores to lose their habitat.

"If you lose it, you lose it. Why are you crying?" Zhao Chuanxin said indifferently.

Originally, the snot baby was just crying.Hearing what Zhao Chuanxin said, tears were about to fall out.

He choked up and said, "If the sheep is lost, there will be no new clothes for the New Year, no candied haws, and no caramel."

Shit, Zhao Chuanxin is used to living a life without tomorrow.Never leave overnight money in your pocket.

There are two eldest sons, and the clothes will vibrate.

It's not that I like to enjoy myself. Most of them buy some tools and materials to practice and play, or spend money to learn new things.Either pretending to be coercive, or on the way to pretending to be coercive.

So I don't have much empathy with these people who are used to living a life.

"Okay, okay, why are you crying? The sheep is lost, what are your adults going to do?"

The snot-nosed baby wiped his eyes with the back of his dirty hand: "I don't know, my father asked someone to help me find it, and everyone didn't dare to go when they heard that they were always in Laoyinggou."

Zhao Chuanxin got up, took off his coat from the wood at the door, put it on, and said, "What a big deal. You all remember that Bo is loyal. If you are in trouble, Bo will definitely help. Go, go to your house , I'll help you find it."

Zhao Chuanxin is probably the number one person who can talk about loyalty with a group of snot-nosed children.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head and went to pull out the bright lantern flower in front of the door from the soil.

He muttered something in his mouth and muttered a strange sentence that no one could understand.

The snot baby was surprised to find that the fleshy flower suddenly flickered.

Then, Zhao Chuanxin looked at the silly dog ​​cooking on the ground, and picked it up as well.

Zhao Hongzhi watched Zhao Chuanxin walk away with the snot-nosed baby, and said to Telford: "Uncle is really loyal."

"Humph!"

Defu refuses to accept, Xindao is just an invitation to buy people's hearts, who wouldn't.

Zhao Hongzhi said again: "My uncle is gone, what are we doing? Or, let's go play tricks?"

Defu rolled his eyes: "You know how to play tricks?"

"I learned from Li Laosan, the hunter in the village."

"go!"

……

Zhao Chuanxin was willing to help go up the mountain to find sheep, which was unexpected by no one.

"This person is righteous!"

"That's Laoyinggou. The old Han's couple went in to pick mushrooms, but never came out again. I heard that they only found some blood, not even bones left."

"Anyway, I dare not go."

The villagers talked a lot.

If a sheep is lost, it is lost, it is better than life.

Yu Dakun took Zhao Chuanxin up the mountain, sighing along the way.

"The folks in the village are not willing to help. It has to be you, Xiao Zhao."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't like to listen to this kind of nagging, so he hugged the rice, panting and didn't answer.

Yu Dakun looked at the thin-skinned and tender Zhao Chuanxin, who was still holding a puppy, and felt unreliable.

When we got close to Laoyinggou, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Let's look for it separately. You go up the road and don't get lost. I have a good sense of direction and I'm not afraid of getting lost. Isn't there a dog here? can be found."

Yu Dakun: "..."

You have never been to Laoyinggou once, how can you tell me a good sense of direction?
He hesitated to speak, but saw that Zhao Chuanxin had already crawled into the woods with the puppy in his arms.

Hey, don't lose people too.

Zhao Chuanxin put down the rice.

When Ganfan came to the new environment, he was not afraid, but a little excited.

It barked twice in a childish voice: "Wow..."

Zhao Chuanxin patted the dog's head: "Smell it again, does it smell like sheep?"

In fact, along the way, he had let Ganfan smell it many times.It can be said that it was found along the way.

The separation from Yu Dakun is also for convenience.Because talking to a dog looks like a madman no matter what.

The reason why he is not afraid of getting lost is because he has a bright lantern in his hand.

The mantra of the lantern flower has two main functions.The first is positioning. After setting a location, the light emitted by the flowers at night will guide you to find your way back. This is exactly what the guiding lights mean.The second is the switch, the light can be on or off.

After a period of training, Gan Fan is still naughty and unreliable, but at least he can listen to some words.

It's just that it's not easy to concentrate. It smells good, but a passing bug can attract it and deviate it from the track.

Zhao Chuanxin had to carry it back and continue looking for it.

Although the efficiency is not that high, but after going around, I really didn't leave any clues.

The smell of mutton may not be smelled by humans, but it is quite strong for dogs.

It was already afternoon, and with the addition of going up the mountain, the sky darkened after a while, and it was even darker in the old forest than outside.

Taking out the dry food and pickles prepared by Yu Dakun for him, Zhao Chuanxin took out the small wooden bowl prepared for dry rice, divided some of it, soaked it in some water and mashed it.

Cooking rice: "Wow, woof, woof..."

"Fuck, I'll let you get used to it. If it doesn't taste good, you have to eat it. I don't have any food. What else do you want?"

This kind of rough-faced steamed bun is dark, and Zhao Chuanxin doesn't like it too much.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Okay, you can eat as much as you can first, and I will cook something delicious for you when you get home. Eat quickly, and go to work after eating."

After one person and one dog finished eating, he said, "Wow, woof, woof..."

"Grass, a lazy dog ​​grinds a lot of shit and urine!"

After Ganfan solved his physical problems, they continued to set off.

Zhao Chuanxin chanted a spell, and the lantern flower in his hand slowly lit up, emitting a soft light.

There are many mosquitoes in the old forest, and Zhao Chuanxin was bitten by mosquitoes just now.

Strange to say, when the lights of the bright lanterns came on, the buzzing of mosquitoes suddenly disappeared.

When the lights are bright, all the insects will retreat!

This surprised Zhao Chuanxin.

He knew that some lights were particularly attractive to mosquitoes, such as black lights.

But I have never heard of any light that can repel insects.

I remember that in the diary, the forest elves used lantern flowers to attract a certain type of moth. Could it be that this kind of light can disperse other mosquitoes, but it is only effective for that kind of moth?

It's not impossible.

The small body is too good for cooking, so Zhao Chuanxin will hold it for a while after running for a while.

At this moment, it began to run wildly in the woods again.

Zhao Chuanxin hastened to catch up.

Suddenly, outside the light of the bright lanterns, the dry rice in front let out a wail.

Zhao Chuanxin's heart tightened.

This little thing has been with him day and night, and he has also eaten fungal technology. One person and one dog have to "talk" every day, and they already have feelings.

Hearing the wailing of Ganfan, Zhao Chuanxin's heart ached.

Without saying a word, he rushed over and threw the devil vine from his waist.

To say that this time it was a big deal, a leopard with a length of two meters including its tail was lying in ambush on a tree.

Seeing the rice, he suddenly jumped down.

Although Ganfan is playful, he ran and ran, just like a child who suddenly found out that his parents had disappeared while playing, and suddenly started running back.

This caused the timing of the leopard's pounce to be a little bit off.

Ganfan noticed movement behind him, and when he turned his head, he screamed in fright.

After jumping off the tree, the leopard steadied itself, just about to continue its attack.

A dark shadow flew over, and a cheerful tone resounded in the woods...

Well, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help shaking his legs every time he played the Divine Comedy.

Before the leopard understood the situation, it was suddenly entangled. It was taken aback, and it immediately backed away.

But it was already too late, the devil vine was faster than a poisonous snake, it wrapped itself around in an instant, and the other side hit the tree.

This is a Far Eastern leopard, which will be extinct in future generations, but now there are many figures of them in the forest.

This thing is also a hazard in the local area. It is a basic practice to cull cats and dogs. If someone's cattle are killed by it, it will not be six.In short, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and cattle and sheep are harmed, and together they are the basic principles.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Ganfan who was paralyzed on the ground in fright, and then looked at the leopard who was so invincible just now, but now he was hung up by the waist and kept bending over and struggling, trying to tear the devil vine with his claws, and became angry .

In the past, Maozi slapped a brown bear with his bare hands for a dog, but now I, Zhao Chuanxin, slaughtered a leopard angrily with a carving knife for cooking!

The leopard was hanging and struggling constantly, causing it to keep turning in circles.

Its claws are extremely sharp, and they protrude with a cold light, which is a bit scary.Those who show their teeth are sharper.

Well, Zhao Chuanxin is a little timid and dare not be tough.I had to wait for the leopard to turn around, and suddenly rushed up with the elf carving knife, and stabbed the leopard's head.

Speaking of the past, let alone killing a leopard, he would not even dare to kill a chicken.

I remember that my mother once asked him to carry the chicken wings, and my mother wiped the neck of the chicken with a knife.

But since he experienced a fight that night, after he personally killed two vicious gangsters, he, Zhao Chuanxin, has sublimated.

I, Zhao Chuanxin, have been out of vulgar interests since then... cough cough...

Devil vines are a bit like cold-blooded animals, they will not be hungry for a long time after a full meal.So, this time I only sucked a little blood and stopped.

The elf carving knife was too sharp, and it pierced through the leopard's skull directly, destroying the brain tissue, and walked peacefully.
