At night, the strange cries in the woods under the moonlight sounded like birds and people, like the cry of a baby, but in fact they were the cries of nocturnal beasts or birds, perhaps foraging for food, courage, or calling friends. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Let's talk nonsense, and call friends, have you heard a lot of anecdotes and are thinking nonsense?"

"It's not like I'm thinking, I know no, in this area of Da Yuling, it is said that there is a monster called the Gan giant..."

"Gan giant? Don't talk nonsense, now we are near the Great Yuling, in case we say that we will come... ”

"Ouch, you're smaller than me... What are you afraid of, there are so many people in the camp, and we are on the watchtower again, if the Gan giant really comes, what can we do? ”

Wu Zhichen military camp, two sentries on the watchtower are chatting, they are responsible for the night so they can't sleep, the long night is very boring, so they start chatting to relieve boredom, by the way to strengthen courage.

Outside the camp is a dense forest, dark and oppressive at night, and the strange sounds from time to time make them feel creepy, as if in the woods, there are demons and monsters staring at them, ready to be taken to the deep mountains and old forests to eat.

As the soldiers brought by the metropolitan governor Wang Meng from Jiankang, they have been away from home and come to this Lingnan land for several years, although their families also came to Donghengzhou to settle down, but this is not their hometown after all, and they always feel uncomfortable to live.

The customs of Lingnan are very different from those of Sanwu, and it is said that there are many spirits in the lofty mountains and mountains, and when they are bored, the soldiers from Jiankang often listen to the local soldiers in half-baked Chinese, and talk about all kinds of strange things.

Gan giant, is a terrible monster, it is said to live in the deep mountains of Nankang County at the junction of Jiangzhou and Lingnan, this kind of monster is tall, with a long human face and long arms, a black body with hair, and a reverse heel.

This monster is called "Shandu" by the locals, it is very walking, and likes to laugh loudly, and the female Gan giant will make a kind of medicinal juice, and once people are sprinkled, they will get sick.

There are a lot of anecdotes about the Gan giant, anyway, this monster is described as a demon in the mountains, who likes to catch people alive and eat their hearts and livers, and likes to catch women to go back to reproduce their offspring, which makes people smell and change.

The night breeze blew, the screams of the forest monsters gradually thinned out, the snoring in the camp came and went, and the sentinels on the watchtowers also began to nap, just then a dark shadow crossed the night sky and landed on the top of a watchtower.

The two sentinels, who were more and more afraid because of the discussion of the Gan giant, soon noticed that something had fallen on the roof of the building, and when they were thinking about knocking on the ceiling with a stick, they suddenly heard a cry of "Ji Ji" from above.

The sudden strange scream was particularly terrifying in the relative silence of the surroundings, and the sentry was frightened out of a white sweat, and a tremor almost fell to the ground with a long stick in his hand.

A dark shadow flashed across the ceiling and flew towards the woods to the side, looking like a night bird.

"It turned out to be a night owl, but it scared me..."

"What is a night owl?"

"It's an owl, it comes out at night, and its call is infiltrating, so it's called a night owl."

Seeing that owls are said to be unlucky, the sentry couldn't help but be depressed: "Bad luck! I actually saw an owl. ”

Tightening his cold clothes, he looked out of the camp, trying to see anything different in the black woods, but he couldn't see the reason for a moment.

"Don't look at it, in order to prevent someone from stealing the camp, the trees within a hundred steps of the camp have been cut down, and if the Beiyu really touches here to sneak attack, they must walk through the open space outside."

"Want to be close to the camp? There is moonlight tonight, and we are not blindfolded! ”

。。。。。。

In the woods, an owl fell from above, Tian Liuhu stretched out his left arm with leather gloves, let it stand firmly, and took out a piece of fresh meat from the leather bag to satisfy the cravings of his pet.

"How? Is there any movement over there? Tian Yilong on the side asked.

"No, there are no secret posts outside the camp, it seems that they are very relieved."

Tian Liuhu laughed softly after speaking, and motioned to his entourage to bring the birdcage and let the owl get into it to rest.

Tian Yilong took out his pocket watch, and without the help of any lighting firelight, he looked at the hands on the white-background dial with the moonlight spilling from the canopy, and determined that there were still four hours before the agreed time, that is, two hours.

Put away the pocket watch, Tian Yilong signaled left and right to pass the order: "Let everyone sleep again, recuperate your spirits, and start work at dawn." ”

"Tian Dong's workshop is really different, what kind of work is it, it's hunting."

Facing the ridicule of his friends, Tian Yilong did not refute, his family did open a lot of workshops, so he is also used to using a pocket watch to see the time, but the other party is also used to using a pocket watch to see the time, because everyone is "Tian Dong's family".

"You don't take a nap?"

"No, I'm not used to sleeping before hunting."

Tian Yilong didn't speak, didn't take off the armor on his body, and slept on the ground wrapped in a piece of cloth, the ground was full of fallen leaves, and it was not very smooth, but it was not a problem for him, there was a large area of black pressure around him, and Zhou Bing was so rested.

No, to be exact, at least half of them were volunteers who assisted the officers and troops in pacifying Lingnan.

The volunteers, of course, are the nicknames of the Huangzhou slave catchers, anyway, plundering the raw mouth is a common thing everywhere for hundreds of years, and they are attacking the mountain fortress, which does not endanger the people under the rule of the government, so the government is happy to 'buy' from the leaders of the volunteers.

The king of Xiyang is very generous and very trustworthy, everyone performs well so the income is also very good, and the goods such as salt and iron that were in short supply in the past can be transported into the cottage, and the equipment of the volunteers has also changed dramatically.

Steel knives, arrows made of iron arrows, strong bows, ring lock armor, durable clothes, shoes, and all kinds of non-staple foods such as ham, shredded meat, salted eggs, etc., the soldiers under the owners of the village have become more and more powerful.

They were already good at crossing mountains and mountains, but now they are well-equipped and carry food to ensure nutrition, so the time and scope of activities in the mountains are becoming more and more extensive, and more and more village owners join the slave hunting team.

Not only the Beibie Mountains in Jiangnan, but also the stretching mountains in the south of Ezhou in the south of the Yangtze River are also the "business scope" of the slave catching team.

This is the original words of the King of Xiyang, which is said to mean "dead whole family" in the Lingnan dialect, and Tian Liuhu deeply agrees with this and is also the most faithful executor.

After the cottage was breached, the disobedient men were killed, and the old people were also killed, leaving the young and strong to be sold as slaves, the women were distributed to the outstanding soldiers, and the children were captured and returned as slaves in the village.

Over the past few years, the population of each cottage has increased significantly, and more babies have been born in one year than in the past ten years, and more money and salt, iron and rice have been earned in one year than in the past 50 years.

Everyone has an annex in Xiyang City, one is convenient to contact the "business", and the other is convenient for family members and relatives to come to the city to enjoy happiness.

The main thing is that there are good doctors in the city, which is what the mountain people need the most, especially the stable woman, a save can save two lives, and live in the city openly, which is the dream of all mountain people.

The king of Xiyang is the "Marshal of the Lingnan Road March", and if he wants to fight in Lingnan, thousands of miles away, then these minions must be with him.

Everyone is a good citizen, so to serve the court, the king of Xiyang rewards and punishments are clear, after making great contributions, maybe you can get the court reward, what to do "male" and what "mother", and you can also glorify the family in the future.

Thinking of this, Tian Liuhu took out his pocket watch from his arms and looked that the time to do it was getting closer and closer, and it was time for them to prepare.

A team of thousands of people, led by Mai Zhuangshi, who knew the path well, quietly detoured over the mountains and mountains, and lurked quietly near the side wind of the Wujichen military camp, but the other party did not know it.

The reason why it is a crosswind direction is because the Zhou army came from the northeast, and now it is a northeast wind, if the wind direction is lurking in the camp, the smell of the wind down is easy for Chen Jun to detect.

Is there such a person in Chen Jun? I don't know, but Tian Liuhu, as a hunter, has to take all the details into account, and he doesn't want to alarm the cunning prey, so he carefully chooses the ambush location.

Yawned, this was the most sleepy time before dawn, Tian Liuhu put away his pocket watch and stabbed his sleeping friend with his hand.

Tian Yilong drew his sword, like a tiger about to fight hard: "Someone is coming? ”

"No, we're going to get there."

Tian Liuhu took out a small jar and wiped it on his face with his hand, looking a little hideous.

"It is said that there are monsters in the mountains of Nankang County, Jiangzhou, called Gan giants, and after a while, we will let them know what a monster in the mountains is!"
