Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 81
"Too difficult?" Thinking of Miss Qiu's move, I said thoughtfully.

Yazai was disemboweling the rabbit, and when he heard my words, he pointed at me with his blood-soaked fingers, smiled for a long time before saying, "No matter how hard it is, there is always someone who is smart, because she can't find someone as heartless as you." My son's apprentice, just wait, I don't know if you will learn the flying knife or not, but you must have learned the escape technique very quickly."

When she said that, I felt a little thumping in my heart, but running away is not my style, so I don't mind saying that it is good to learn the skills of escape.

The boy was very happy, and he didn't persuade me, he hummed a little song and cleaned up the rabbit all the time, it was obvious that he was gloating!
With rabbits and pheasants, the food at night can be said to have been upgraded several grades. What surprised me was that Kumbu was proficient in super-high barbecue skills. After flipping the two wild game in his hand, the aroma came out after a while, and hooked My greedy worm went straight out.

Finally, he took out a small bottle of white salt-like substance from his arms and sprinkled it on the roasted rabbit and roasted chicken, indicating that we could eat it.

Lao Yan smiled and tore a rabbit leg for Yazai and me, and I stuffed it into my mouth when I got it, grinning so hot that I didn't care about it.

Although this rabbit leg is only salted, it is very delicious. In addition, I haven't eaten a decent meal for several days. Now it tastes better than the old Beijing boiled lamb that Yazai brought me to eat!
At first, I thought that one rabbit would be enough for us to eat, but my son and I ate more than half of the rabbit, and finally stopped for the sake of the pheasant, and ate the pheasant instead.

Lao Yan saw oil coming out of the corners of our mouths while we were eating, and said with a smirk, "You are not afraid of kombu being poisoned."

Yazai and I choked and looked at Kumbu's expressionless face. For a moment, I couldn't tell whether Lao Yan was telling the truth or a lie, because they really didn't eat meat, and they just looked at us two silly people all the time. Ah.

The boy swallowed the chicken in his mouth: "No, it's not really poisonous, is it?"

"Idiot." Kumbu cursed, and calmly tore off a piece of chicken and chewed it in his mouth. I was relieved, but Yazai looked like he was about to cry, saying that chewing is useless, you man Invulnerable to all poisons.

Lao Yan helplessly slapped Yazai on the head: "You have a brain, believe what you say, look at Chang'an's performance, it is called calm!"

I scratched my head and stuffed the chicken in my hand into my mouth without saying a word.

Eat well, drink well, just as I was about to lie down and rest for a while, Miss Qiu pulled me up: "Practice first before it gets dark."

"Ah?" I was a little dazed. I just finished eating and it happened to be sleepy, but she acted like she couldn't refuse.

I had no choice but to follow her and ask her how to practice. She looked at me with a smile and pointed to a tree not far away for me to stand there.

I stood up as I said, and saw her aiming at me with a few small knives taken out of her bag, and I hurriedly shouted: "Sister Qiu, sister Qiu, don't you want to practice flying knives? How can I be a target?" gone."

"Oh." She said lightly, and before I could react, a knife flew over. My pupils instantly shrank into needlepoints, and I stared at the knife without daring to move.

Ding!
The knife sank into the tree trunk next to my head, and a drop of cold sweat ran down my forehead. Then Miss Qiu explained slowly: "If you want to practice throwing knives, you must first not be afraid of them."

I was silent and didn't speak, I always felt that she was being unreasonable, but looking at her serious face, it didn't seem like she was lying to me.

In this way, I leaned against the big tree and waited for her to fly all the throwing knives in her hand before I was freed. She patted my shoulder with satisfaction: "That's right, it's much better than the one who wet his pants before."

I managed to laugh a few words, but in fact my legs were also weak. If I hadn't gone through the life and death test in Lop Nur, I guess it would not be much better than peeing my pants.

"Continue." Miss Qiu pulled out all the throwing knives on the tree trunk, and then said two words.

I looked at the sky and said bitterly, "Sister Qiu, it's getting dark..."

"The enemy is still trying to trouble you during the day?" Her eyes widened, and I was speechless again.

Fortunately, this time she didn't let me be a target, but drew a few thumb-thick horizontal bars at intervals on the tree trunk, and asked me to stand two meters away to practice throwing knives.

Although these horizontal bars look quite thick, but standing two meters away and the sky is already dark, I can't see them at all.

Miss Qiu picked up the flying knives one by one and put them back in my hand: "Come again."

I squinted my eyes and tried to see the sign on the trunk, but failed. I was a little dissatisfied and said that I couldn't see it, how could I throw it?
"You can't see the enemy either." Miss Qiu suddenly turned cold.

I glanced at her, then gripped the throwing knife tightly, and flew out again. This time I didn't throw it randomly, but threw the knife to the designated place from memory.

I just saw her engraving, so I have a general impression of where those signs are.

Miss Qiu nodded slightly, and then went to pick up the flying knife again, saying that although it missed, it finally opened up.

"Then I'll practice again?" I rubbed my hands excitedly.

But Ms. Qiu put away the throwing knife, and walked back first after saying something that haste makes waste. I wondered in my heart, Lao Yan and the others were exaggerating too much, her teaching was quite normal.

Back in the tent, Yazai immediately pulled me to ask about the training situation. I told the process, and he laughed and said, "It seems that sister Qiu is quite satisfied with you, but you have to be careful in the future."

"What do you mean?" I lay in my sleeping bag and asked puzzled.

Yazai rolled to the side, saying that the more Sister Qiu is satisfied with someone, the harder she will train him, so I will be mentally prepared.

I didn't take it seriously either. Watching tonight's training, I always felt that I was exaggerating!

I walked almost all day today, and I practiced knife throwing for a while at night, so I slept very soundly, so when I was woken up by a burst of crying, I just felt irritable.

"Baby, don't cry." I yelled, and then I realized it first, not to mention whether a person as big as Yazai would cry for no reason, just say that the voice is not like it at all.

What penetrated into my ears was clearly the sound of a child crying... Judging by the sound, it must not be more than three years old.

I was irritated by the noise, but I knew something was wrong. How could there be children crying in this deep mountain and old forest?
And this cry is also different from the sound of the red scorpion wagging its tail in Lop Nur, it seems much more real than the former.

I walked out of the tent with my gun in hand, and Kumbu and Miss Qiu were keeping watch, and the latter asked me what I was doing.

"Did you hear the crying?" I asked.

Miss Qiu nodded, and said indifferently: "There are many animals in the mountains, and some things just make this sound, just like a cat growling."

"Is that so?" I listened sideways, and always felt that the voice was a bit weird, but seeing if the two of them responded at all, I also felt that I was too suspicious, so I went back into the tent without saying anything.

After lying down again, the crying stopped slowly, and I fell asleep quickly.

I just slept for a while and I suddenly felt a wind blowing in: the tent is not closed properly?
I muttered in my heart, wanting to get up and take a look, but for some reason, my eyelids were very heavy, and I failed to open them for a long time.

Suddenly, a tingling sensation came from my arm, as if someone was scratching me.

"Baby, is that you?" I yelled, but got no response, and then I felt something was wrong, because the force of this thing's scratching on me increased, from numbness at the beginning to pain.

When I opened my eyes suddenly, I saw a thing with black hair and long arms scratching my arm with its claws. I could feel that the claws of this thing had been embedded in the flesh. Can bring a bloodstain!
I lifted my foot and kicked it vigorously. Who knew that the flesh on this savage-like thing was very strong. Not only did I not move after being kicked by me like this, but it pulled my leg up and turned me over, and its claws were on me. I scratched my back, and I grinned in pain.

"Baby!" I yelled violently, he sat up nervously, rubbed his eyes and asked me what's the matter as if he didn't wake up?
I roared speechlessly: "I'm almost on the verge of leaving here, why don't you hurry up and help!"
