178: Don't talk in the dark
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the moon is shining.
Lin Yao and his group gradually confirmed that the Kerry people would really not appear again.
Only then did they start to get busy looking for places suitable for storing fur.
This is mainly to prevent rainwater.
Don’t think that the fur is not afraid of water, you can get wet in the rain at will. This view is wrong.
Especially their semi-finished furs are very likely to deteriorate and mold in rainwater.
It's just early winter now, and there are no more rain or two.
What's more, they can't be sure when to pick up the fur, it may be in the late winter, the beginning of spring, or even next autumn, and the plan will never keep up with the changes.
So everyone should make the worst plan and extend the protection period of the fur as much as possible.
At Taylor's suggestion, everyone searched everywhere.
Finally, a rocky beach was selected as the place to store the fur.
After a while of busyness, it was almost late at night.
Except for Hawke, who was not working, everyone else was physically and mentally exhausted, cold and hungry.
"Who has something to eat?"
Lin Yao looked at the others, and no one said anything.
The Kerry people came in a hurry and didn't give them much time to prepare, let alone worry about bringing food.
"Or what if we use a hunting rifle to shoot two hares?"
"You're crazy, gunshots will attract the Kerry."
"What should I do? I'm hungry and tired now and I don't have the energy to speak."
Everyone was not in good condition. They ate the last meal in the morning. They had not had enough water and rice for the whole day. When they relaxed, they immediately felt that their stomachs were about to rebel.
"I brought the bow and we can send someone to hunt!"
The cobbler who chose to stay took off a hunting bow from his shoulder.
"Where is the arrow?"
Under the attention of everyone, the cobbler smiled embarrassedly: "It's used up."
All I said is nonsense, if I have a bow or a arrow, would I make an arrow first and then go hunting?
If you have this energy, it is better to go to the river to find beaver. There are not many other things in the reserve, but there are many beaveres. Indians do not eat beaver, and they can catch five or six beaver nests by just finding a beaver nest.
"It's too dangerous to go to the riverside, and you may not be discovered by the Kerry." Gerald suddenly said: "During the day, I found two fruit trees on the hillside, and we might be able to use wild fruits to satisfy our hunger."
"I'll go with you."
Lin Yao stood up and took the initiative to undertake the task.
Gerald glanced at him and thought Lin Yao was too hungry. He didn't expect that he had the courage to be unfavorable to him. He nodded and said, "Others should pay attention to concealment, we will be back soon."
With a shotgun on his back, Gerald led the way in front.
Lin Yao followed behind, and the two walked up the mountain one by one, looking for the fruit tree that Gerald saw.
Half an hour later, they found two fruit trees.
These are two cranberry trees, a common fruit tree in North America and mostly grows in areas with rivers.
They look similar to big cherries, have a sweet taste, a little aphrodisiac, and have certain medicinal value, which can prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Standing in front of the fruit tree, Lin Yao took a simple look.
The fruits are already ripe, but the yield is not large. The two trees are probably only two or three pounds together.
It is definitely unrealistic for six people to eat and eat full, and it is at most used to fill your hunger and replenish water.
"Gerard, you know, we shouldn't be enemies."
Standing in front of the fruit tree, Lin Yao looked at Gerald who was picking the fruit.
Gerald didn't expect him to say this, and showed a sarcastic smile in the moonlight: "You rejected my friendship. You valued the money too seriously. My friend, you can earn at least $500 this time, but you are unwilling to give me $200 in exchange for my friendship. This disappoints me."
Lin Yao smiled, ignored Gerald's narcissism, and did not ask him why he came to him, instead of threatening the same rewarding Grass.
Such a problem is meaningless.
He said nothing, just picked a cranberry, put it in his mouth and chewed it, feeling the sweetness from his taste buds, and said in a very plain way: "The first time I killed someone was in a hunting mission."
"It was a prison escapee, and we dispatched hundreds of people to pursue him."
"At that time, my team leader led me and another auxiliary policeman to search in an abandoned residential building."
"We didn't expect that the fugitive would hide in this residential building. The first time I stepped onto the second floor, my team leader was shot."
"He rolled down the stairs, and the pistol fell at my feet. I thought nothing, picked up the gun and rushed up."
"When I rushed to the second floor, the man was about to jump out of the window to escape."
"I fired two shots behind him, and the inertia of the bullet pushed him out the window and fell into the water outside the road."
"The blood stained the ground red. I was not afraid. Instead, I felt it was very exciting. An indescribable sense of accomplishment surged in my heart, without any adverse reactions from beginners."
"After this incident, the team said that they would give me half a month off and let me adjust it."
"But I think it's never been better. Perhaps, I'm a person born to be suitable for this bowl of rice."
Gerald was confused and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Yao sighed, took two steps and pounced on him, throwing him to the ground before Gerald reacted, and at the same time pulled out a dagger with his right hand and stabbed him into his chest: "You shouldn't mess with me, there is a beast in my heart, you woke it up!"
belch···
Gerald struggled hard and looked into Lin Yao's eyes in disbelief.
Lin Yao also looked at him like that, pressing one hand on his shoulder, pushing the hilt of the knife tightly with the other hand, and coaxing the child: "Shh, don't talk, it's already late at night, and the bad boy who talks will be taken away by the wolf grandmother!"
"Fa...fa...fake!"
Gerald lay on the ground with his eyes open and no sound.
Life is so fragile that a child of seven or eight years old can also kill an adult with a dagger.
If you can bully someone, the premise is that he cannot resist and is a coward.
If he is not, or you guessed it wrong, you have to pay the price for your actions.
Gerald misread him, or just looked at his predecessor correctly, that kid is indeed a coward.
But he is not, he is a time traveler, or a time traveler who kills people.
How could he let a person who threatens himself survive in this protected area of the fittest?
"I didn't expect you to be quite rich!"
Lin Yao found a banknote clip from Gerald, which contained dozens of dollars.
In addition, there was a gold ring, a silver brooch, and the pocket watch he gave to Gerald in order to become a hunter.
Conservatively estimated, these things are worth more than one hundred dollars.
Now, these things are all his. Sure enough, no one can be rich without wealth, and no horse can be fat without night grass.
If you do a casual vote, you will be able to match his earnings of half a month of hard hunting.
"What a pity for this gun!"
Lin Yao picked up Gerald's hunting rifle, and a look of regret flashed across his face.
He couldn't take the gun back, as it would let everyone know that he killed Gerald, which would be detrimental to unity.
Moreover, if he doesn't want to take this life, he should let him leave silently.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yao dragged Gerald into the bushes in the distance.
After doing all this, he leisurely picked the fruits, as if nothing had happened.
"Where is Gerald?"
When Lin Yao rushed back to the rocky beach, everyone expressed their enthusiasm for food and their questions about Gerald's failure to come back.
Lin Yao sat on the ground and spoke indifferently: "Gerard repents. He thought that the goal of going with us was too big. He wanted to go on the road alone, so he picked some wild fruits and left."
Everyone didn't have much thought after hearing this.
Gerald chose to stay to determine where the fur was hiding.
Now that they have hidden their fur, it is no surprise that Gerald will leave, he is a very selfish person, you can't expect him to share the joys and sorrows with you.
"It's good to leave, but he is not comfortable."
Taylor was delighted with Gerald's departure, and several others were equally happy.
Among the five people present, Taylor's uncle and nephew were cobblers. Brill, who chose to stay, was cobblers. Lin Yao was also a cobbler before. Hawke, the only one who was not a cobbler, was also a wounded man.
Once Gerald left, they became the team of cobblers.
If you have anything, you can discuss it. It is better than a hunter captain pointing fingers here.
