Chapter 101 Going and Returning
"How do you know it is carrying a piece of cooked meat?" Ma Rulong asked Shang Zhen when he followed the little cat to a mountain, while the rest of the border troops, including Qi Pingbo, looked at Shang Zhen curiously.
Shang Zhen smiled before explaining, and when he explained, the border soldiers burst into laughter again.
The little cat is a wild lynx.
People should pay attention to clean food, otherwise what should I do if my stomach is damaged?
But the little cat doesn't.
Just now, Ma Rulong also saw a piece of meat in his mouth.
But they also knew how many meats were piled on the ground, but they were covered with dust and soil. They could only tell that it was just a piece of meat.
Shang Zhen did not see that the little cat was holding a piece of cooked meat, but he was familiar with the little expression of the little cat.
The little cat and Shang Zhen have been together for a long time, so they know that Shang Zhen does not eat raw meat and is extremely disgusted with raw meat.
So if a little cat gets raw meat, such as catching a bird, a mouse, or a rabbit, it will always be eaten in front of Shang Zhen.
But this time it came back, it was guarding against Shang Zhen like a thief. Isn’t that just a piece of cooked meat in its mouth?
Just because in order to practice his agility, Shang Zhen always chopped the cooked meat and then threatened the little cat with a slingshot and acorns to grab the meat and eat it.
The little cat was scolded by Shang Zhen and was reflexive. Then it was eating meat and preventing Shang Zhen from robbing it. How could it not be cooked meat?
But in this wilderness, Qi Pingbo and his group are currently in the wilderness. Their food is dry food but not meat. Where did the little cat get the cooked meat in his mouth?
It can't be baked by that little guy himself. If that's the case, it's not a lynx but a lynx spirit!
So Shang Zhen asked the little cat to lead the way in front, and he and these border troops came to take a look.
In fact, Shang Zhen didn't know where the little cat would take them. He had never specially trained the little cat, so he just pointed at the piece of meat that the little cat was biting and chased the little cat away.
The little cat didn't leave, and Shang Zhen didn't hold a bow, but he was in front of his hand and right behind his hand to make a stance of pulling the bow and shooting "bounce".
The little cat felt guilty, but still didn't move
Oh, you little playboy who deserves a beating, and you are still angry! Shang Zhen said at that time, and then reached out to touch his pocket.
This time it worked. The little cat was afraid that Shang Zhen would beat it with acorns again, so he ran away with the meat he had not finished. Shang Zhen and the others followed.
You said that when Shang Zhen told the border soldiers about his strange way of "cat" training, how could the border soldiers be unhappy?
In essence, Shang Zhen never regarded the little cat as a pet, and he just treated it as a partner.
At this time, the little cat was walking in front. The little cat always walked near the road, and they climbed the mountain.
Shang Zhen and the border troops had no choice but to abandon their horses, and several border troops led their horses to the front of the mountain.
Fortunately, here is just the periphery of Tiewe Mountain, and the mountain is not very high after all.
When Shang Zhen and his team climbed over two hills and entered a valley, Shang Zhen and his team found the embers of the fire and the bones that had been gnawed in the forest space.
It is impossible to say that the fire had just been extinguished. If Shang Zhen and their previous location caught fire here, they would be able to see smoke.
Ma Rulong stepped forward and tried the temperature of the ashes, but the ashes were already cold.
It's morning and the sun is already high. It seems that the bonfire should have risen last night. Shang Zhen and these border troops came from other places in the morning.
However, Ma Rulong did not give up. He began to observe in the forest again, and then he walked forward, and everyone followed naturally.
At this time, Shang Zhen also saw some clues.
There are grass in the forest, and some grass stems have been trampled, and Ma Rulong has followed these subtle traces.
When Shang Zhen and the others climbed to the top of the hill again, Ma Rulong, who was walking in the front, suddenly shouted loudly: "I saw, they are in front!"
After Ma Rulong said this, everyone naturally rushed forward, and then they saw that the terrain in front had changed, and there were very few low hills. In the pasture leading to the horizon, a small group of people were heading for the distance.
"Is it the wedding candy you are looking for?" Ma Rulong asked.
But Shang Zhen widened his eyes and took out his ability to practice his eyesight and stare at the little pebbles, but he couldn't see clearly!
No matter how far a human eye can see clearly, it is regular. Shang Zhen is just better at seeing than ordinary people but is not a terrifying existence.
When people are on the commanding heights, if the sky is clear and there is a flat river in front of them, you can see about ten miles away, but you can only see black spots.
Only when you are closer, such as within a hundred feet, can you see the color of a person's size and clothes, and then within a few dozen feet, you can see the face and expression of a person.
Just now, the distance between Shang Zhen and the team in front was just barely visible to the figure. Now they may not be able to hear it even if they are tugging their necks and shouting.
"I have an arrow piercing the cloud." Ma Rulong suddenly said at this time, and then he looked at Qi Pingbo.
What is the arrow through the cloud? Shang Zhen was just confused for a moment, but he guessed it immediately.
It's just an arrow, it should be used as a signal!
It should be a sound arrow, that is, a firecracker is tied to the arrow, and the medicine of the firecracker is twisted and then shot into the air. It is like a kick. The sound of "duǎng" can be heard from a distance.
But, at this time, use-
Shang Zhen was thinking, but Qi Pingbo was already shook his head.
"We have not separated the enemy and we cannot take the risk of being exposed." Sure enough, Qi Pingbo said.
Ma Rulong hurriedly responded, "Yes, General", and then looked at Shang Zhen apologetically.
Shang Zhen didn't say anything.
This is understandable. Who knows if the team of people who are leaving now is the wedding candy and the others!
There is no cloud-piercing arrow among the people. As long as the cloud-piercing arrow sounds, it is equivalent to self-retaining the identity of the army and then attracting the Hu people from the brigade!
It is okay for a team like them to attack a cavalry, but it is not wise to fight with the Hu team.
Since there was no objection, Shang Zhen and these border soldiers could only watch the team go further and further away.
But at this moment, Shang Zhen noticed that the little cat who had finished eating the meat was lying in front of him, and the wind-catching ears stood up again.
The man was tall and the beast was short, but Shang Zhen noticed that the little playboy had turned his face away and used one of his ears to face the distance.
Hum? Shang Zhen looked into the distance, but he still couldn't see anything.
"Let's go, go down the mountain." Qi Pingbo said at this time.
Seeing that the man was almost gone, what could they do if they didn't go down the mountain?
The border soldiers naturally had to listen to Qi Pingbo. Everyone turned around and walked back, but Shang Zhen stared at the distance and still did not move.
"Shang Zhen, let's go." Ma Rulong said.
He thought Shang Zhen was just regretting that he could not check the identities of those people, but at this time Shang Zhen was already listening.
"Old Ma, listen, I seem to hear something!" Shang Zhen said.
After Shang Zhen said this, Qi Pingbo and the others who had turned around and left also stopped.
After a while, Ma Rulong, who also listened carefully, suddenly said, "There is the sound of horse hooves from a large group."
And then they looked into the distance again and saw that the team that had disappeared from the distance appeared again.
Because they were too far away, they could not see the direction of the team.
However, it has disappeared just now but now it appears again. Isn’t that team of people turning back?
"Look, maybe there's a chance!" Ma Rulong said excitedly.
Chapter completed!
