Chapter 1587 haunted in the middle of the night
The wilderness of the east, the virgin forest.
...
"rustle……"
I walked in the dense forest, still wearing a white robe, holding a flamed rabbit killed by a stone in my hand. This rabbit is quick to move and has a strong attack power. Once it runs wildly, it will enter a burning state and can kill a bison in an instant, but the taste is also excellent. It tastes spicy and delicious. The soup and barbecue are quite good.
Walk out of the jungle, bury two stumps under a maple tree, and set up a rabbit to start roasting.
For me, the practice of traveling around the world may not necessarily have to fight, but a mentality of being at ease, integrating yourself into this world, and the power of the Ascension Realm is constantly consolidated with everything I do, and finally gaining the Ascension Realm strength that truly matches me. At least, the strength of this Ascension Realm is not enough at present!
...
Soon after, the scent of the flamed rabbit was filled with the fragrance, so he used the Thunder Blade to tear off a rabbit leg, chewed it in big mouthfuls, took a few bites, and then poured a mouthful of the fine wine that was given by the wind, which was very satisfying for a moment.
As I was eating, suddenly a rumbling sound came from behind me, as if a giant was running.
"Young man!"
An old man's voice came from behind: "Be careful, a wild bison is heading for you!"
I turned around quickly, and sure enough, a bison with three or five arrows stuck to my neck was running wildly. It seemed that due to the injury, it was fierce and with its head lowered, and a pair of horns hit it.
"ah!"
Behind the old man, a little girl in an animal fur robe screamed in fear and didn't dare to look at it.
“…”
I was speechless. I could still meet people in this kind of place, and it seemed that I was a hunter.
When will you not pretend now?
So he suddenly pretended to be panic and moved away, barely avoiding the buffalo's impact, and even his clothes were brought by the horns. He staggered, and his fingertips gently hit the buffalo's right leg, which changed the buffalo's rapid course. With a "pan" sound, he hit a raised stalagmites, and his head suddenly blossomed, red and white. At this time, it would be better to have a Haidilao, and brain flowers are the most delicious.
Suddenly, I miss Lin Xi again...
I stood there blankly, thinking in my mind about the scene of Lin Xi snuggling beside me and shabu-shabu together. Will there be such a chance in my life?
...
"Young man, are you okay?"
The old hunter came over for this matter. His hair was gray and he looked about sixty years old. He was wearing an old cotton jacket, carrying a hunter longbow behind him, and several hares tied around his waist, as well as some cotton thread and wire for hare lasso. It seemed that he was also an experienced old hunter, otherwise he would not have severely damaged a bison.
"fine!"
I dusted the dust on the white cloak and smiled and said, "Old man, thank you for reminding me, it scared me so much... This bison is really a murderer. I will definitely die when I hit it."
"We're also blamed."
The old man smiled and said, "If I hadn't shot this bison, I'm afraid it wouldn't have bumped into him just by seeing anyone. We have implicated you, Young Hero."
"It's okay, am I okay?"
“Ha~~~”
The old man smiled and said, "Where is the young hero? It doesn't sound like this accent. How could the young hero be here alone in this wilderness?"
I smiled awkwardly and said, "I am a practitioner. My master told me to wander around the world. As I walked, I entered this old forest. I felt like I was lost after walking."
"oh?"
The old man laughed: "Moe Lu'er, come here quickly, this young man is like you~~~"
The little girl didn't look big, but she ran very fast. She came to me in an instant, looking as cute as a porcelain doll. After wiping her nose, she showed a smile that she thought was very bright and said, "Hello, brother, my name is Miluer. Because I like Miluer and often get lost in the woods, everyone in the village calls me Miluer~~~"
On the side, the old man touched her head dotingly and said, "She is my granddaughter. This child has a miserable life. When he was very young, his parents encountered a ferocious beast while hunting in the mountains and died together. The old man, I, had no other skills, only know how to hunt and raise her little by little with animal milk and skin. Now the old and the young depend on each other in the village."
"Oh, that's it..."
I nodded, pointed to the corpse of the bison and said, "This cow should be enough to eat for a long time, right? Is your village far away? Maybe I can exchange this cow for some money to subsidize life or something."
"Disaster."
The old man shook his head: "We have walked too deep this time, at least twenty miles away from the village. It is definitely impossible to move such a big bison back with such a long distance. We can only cut some meat that can be sold, and it will be as much as we can sell."
"What a pity!"
I frowned and said, "If you use branches to make a raft, you can drag the whole cow back. Old man, you go to cut branches to make a raft. How about I help you drag it? I can't do anything else, I still have the strength to do it?"
"real?"
The old man was a little moved and said, "Have you asked the young hero's name yet?"
"My name is Lu Li, don't call me Young Hero, just call me Lu Li. I am a ranger and a cultivator."
"oh!"
The old man nodded: "If this is the case, thank you Lu Li. Don't worry, after returning to the village, we will split the money sold by half, you will be half, and we will be half, and we will be half, and grandfather and grandson. How about it?"
"That's fine!"
I didn't give in too much to avoid doubt.
"good!"
...
Not long after, a simple raft was made. The old man had very clever skills and extraordinary weaving methods. He used smooth branches as the base of the raft. The friction force would be greatly reduced when dragging with the ground. I pretended to be "struggle", and joined hands with the old man to move the bison's corpse onto the raft, and then dragged the raft forward hard.
In fact, with a body in the Ascension Realm, I can run like lightning even if I carry a buffalo in one hand. It is too hard for me to pretend, but I can't do it. How can I enter the world in an Ascension Realm? Just like before, if I showed the means of Ascension Realm from the beginning, I would probably not have as many things as I had involved later.
It was not until the sun set that we finally dragged the bison into a village near the mountains. It was obvious that it was a village with piles of hunters, with wooden houses sporadic. Just as we entered the village, a young man holding a war bow and wearing soft armor came over and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang, did you get a good harvest today, what is this guy?"
"Oh, I met in the mountains and helped me a lot. He is a ranger."
"oh?"
The young man in armor smiled and said, "I haven't been passing by our village for many years, but you must be careful after nightfall. It's not advisable to go out recently."
"What's wrong recently?" I was surprised.
The young man in armor frowned and said, "You are a foreigner, and you don't know that recently this old forest is always haunted. Many children have disappeared for no reason in the surrounding villages. I heard that there are evil ghosts who specialize in eating children walking among the mountains. Just this afternoon, the leader of the tribe also sent an order to make us militias cheer up and be more vigilant at night."
"That's how..."
I nodded and smiled, "I understand, we just won't leave the village tonight."
"Uh-huh!"
...
As I walked into the village, I could see it clearly. The defense of the village was a stretched fence wall. This defense was basically equal to 0. Not to mention evil spirits, I was afraid that even bandits could not stop it. As for those militia, the militia in the entire village could count with one hand, which really felt like I was fishing.
At night, I lived in the home of the old man Zhang. The old man boiled water and peeled the bison to get the meat. In the busy space, he took out the beef heart and passed it through the water. Then he cooked a plate of fragrant green pepper stir-fried beef hearts, and then stewed a pot of fragrant beef. Then he borrowed some steamed buns from his neighbor's house to heat it up, so as to entertain me, a foreigner who has done a lot. Suddenly, the elk danced happily, and it seemed that he hadn't eaten such a delicious food for a long time.
After eating and drinking, the old man continues to be busy.
There were only two beds in the cabin, the big bed was the old man's and the small bed was the elk. At this time, under the cold moonlight, the elk was already sleeping in the animal skin quilt. It was a quiet and innocent age.
I didn't sleep, but just watched the old man busy and dismembering a huge bison was a complicated and tiring process. The old man almost didn't want to sleep that night.
"Uncle Zhang!"
A village woman carrying a basket of wild vegetables walked by and looked at me with her head tilted her head and said, "This guy is so handsome. I have never seen him before. Could it be that you recruited a grandson-in-law for the Moe Luer?
The old man suddenly smiled angrily and said, "His name is Lu Li, he is a raid passing by the village. He said that he was a grandson-in-law. Miluer is only seven years old. If you talk nonsense again, I will fight you with this old bone!"
The village woman laughed: "Let's go, Brother Lu Li, don't walk around at night. In recent years, ferocious beasts and evil ghosts are rampant. There are fewer and fewer males in the village, and there are more and more widows. Be careful not to be pulled into the house by any pretty widow, then you may not be able to bear it~~"
I couldn't help laughing and didn't say anything, but the folk customs were very simple.
...
Soon after, a gust of wind blew across the wilderness village.
The old man frowned and immediately asked me to move all the beef into the house. At this time, three militiamen passed by with longbows and short swords. One of them knocked on the gong and shouted: "The wind is blowing, and every household is closed. No one can knock on the door and no one can agree to it if someone calls!"
I was slightly stunned: "What's wrong?"
"Those evil things are coming again!"
The old man immediately closed the doors and windows, lit another oil lamp, and said, "Lu Li, be careful."
"Um."
...
Not long after, late at night, the wind stopped.
But something seemed to have entered the village, and there were the crying of a baby in the distance, and there was a faint sigh. Then, something seemed to be lying outside the door of the cottage, making a squeaking sound on the door, just like a fingernail pulling, and then a woman was crying outside the door, and she started to grab the door and talk.
"Open the door and let me in. I want to eat people, and then leave."
...
"grandfather……"
The elk woke up at some point and hid in his grandfather's arms, scared to tears.
Chapter completed!
