The endless mountains stretch into the distance.

Xia Jian followed Long Lu's grandfather and grandson from midnight to dawn, but what was in front of him was still a big mountain one after another. Xia Jian stood on the top of the mountain, breathing in the fresh air, like a bird that had escaped from a cage.

Grandpa Long Lu was too tired to do anything, so he sat down with his back against a big tree. Looking at his gray hair and beads of sweat, Xia Jian felt extremely guilty in his heart. This is all the trouble he brought to others, and it almost caused a catastrophe.

"I wonder if we're safe now?" Xia Jian suddenly asked involuntarily.

The old man closed his eyes and said, "It's absolutely safe, we have walked fifty or sixty miles of mountain roads, and there should be five or six mountains behind us, and they shouldn't have chased here." Because this is the road that only we who gather medicine or hunt knows."

"Oh! Then you rest for a while, I'll go find something to eat, let's replenish our energy before leaving," Xia Jian said, and put down the basket on his back.

That's when he felt relaxed. Although it weighs only a few dozen catties, it is still quite heavy after carrying it overnight. Xia Jian only remembered at this time that he felt so tired as a man, let alone Long Lu.

Long Lu leaned her back against the tree pole, panting slightly, as soon as she saw Xia Jian coming over, she smiled and said, "What?" Want to hunt pheasants again? Have the ability to change our taste."

Xia Jian looked at Long Lu's provocative appearance, and suddenly felt that this woman was both beautiful and cute. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes! Since you have this request, I will go and hunt a wild boar for you to come back, but how to eat it is your business" Xia Jian casually made a joke with Long Lu.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Long Lu, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, he licked his lips and said: "As long as you can fight back, you can see how you eat it, but I can tell you, this roasted wild boar is really fragrant, just because you want to fight one back with your bare hands, that's a fool's dream, I think you don't take this risk, or fight pheasants to be safe."

The old man said, swallowing his saliva. It felt as if the wild boar had eaten into his mouth.

Xia Jian glanced around and said, "Grandpa Long!" It seems a bit bad to make a fire in this place, should we change places? After you rest, I'll go look for something to eat."

"Hmmm! The young man has a lot of vision, but it's really not good here. Let's go some distance further, if I'm not mistaken, there will be a cliff, and there will be stone slabs underneath, where is the best place to make a fire" The old man said, and stood up with a little difficulty, Xia Jian hurriedly went over to help him.

Under the leadership of Grandpa Long, the three of them walked forward again. The old man was right, under the cliff, there was a stone slab of twenty or thirty square meters. What is surprising is that under the cliff, there is also a mountain spring, the spring water is crystal clear, as soon as Xia Jian saw it, he ran over and climbed down to take a sip.

A cold sweetness flowed down his throat, and Xia Jian suddenly felt refreshed, but when he turned around, Long Lu's grandfather and grandson were already lying on the stone slab, looking as if they were asleep.

It's really exhausting. After walking dozens of miles of mountain roads, they sat down for the first time to rest. The old man's parents are old, and Long Lu is a woman, it's really not easy.

Xia Jian moved his muscles, looked up and looked around, and quickly walked into the mountain forest. It's full of trees and vines, and it feels like no one has ever been there.

Xia Jian took out a steel dart from his waist, sharpened a few javelins more than a meter long, and then clamped it under his armpit, and walked gently forward, with his experience of entering the mountains many times, in a place like this, wild boars should be the most, and pheasants really don't necessarily have them.

But where is this boar? The sun rises higher and higher, and it is a bit impermeable due to the dense vegetation. So Xia Jian felt extremely hot. In addition, he was holding a wooden javelin, and the road was not easy to walk, and he was sweating profusely after a while.

What can I do? He can't go back empty-handed. Even if it's a bird, he's so easy to confess! But not a single bird could be heard in this hellish place.

In the heat, Xia Jian reached out and grabbed a branch and sat on the trunk, and sure enough, there was a cool breeze on it. Just as Xia Jian was enjoying this rare coolness, he suddenly noticed that the weeds not far from him were moving. Xia Jian was happy, stared carefully for a while, hey! It's really a pack of wild boars.

Unbeknownst to the herd, a man sitting on a tree pole was staring at them. So he walked out of the weeds unscrupulously and arched over. Their sharp teeth grit at the weeds and make terrible noises.

Xia Jian adjusted his sitting posture, clamped several wooden javelins under his left armpit, and then held one in his right hand and aimed it at the wild boar herd moving towards his feet. Ten meters, nine meters... Xia Jian estimated the distance.

With a whoosh, the wooden javelin in his hand flew out and ran straight to the shoulder of a wild boar walking in front. With a scream, the boar suddenly ran forward, and instead of inserting the javelin, it fell to the ground.

Pigs are pigs, and when they found someone attacking in front of them, they didn't turn around and run back, but rushed over with a hula, looking like they were desperate with you.

Xia Jian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the javelin in his hand threw it towards the wild boar herd. After a burst of screams, Xia Jian was disappointed, feeling that he had not inserted a wild boar. I don't know if the boar's skin is too thick, or if its own strength is not good, or if there is a problem with its orientation. In short, he didn't hit one.

Jumping off the tree pole, Xia Jian was thinking about what he should do? His eyes lit up, and not far from the tree, a wild boar lay on the ground, with the wooden javelin he had just thrown in its back.

This guy kicked his leg a few times, his body twitched twice, and by the time Xia Jian walked over, it had already swallowed its breath. Xia Jian smiled, grabbed one of its hind legs, and dragged it back.

Long Lu saw that Xia Jianzhen had dragged a wild boar back, and she shouted happily to her grandfather: "There is meat to eat, we have wild boar to eat."

"Hey! You kid is really a god, and you even beat back a wild boar with your bare hands and bare fists, which is very rare! The old man laughed and untied a knife from his waist.

Xia Jian threw the wild boar in front of the old man and said, "Look at you, I have to take a rest."

"No problem, I'll leave it to me and Long Lu here, you lie down and rest for a while, just wait to eat the wild boar for a while," the old man said, and began to move his hands.

When Long Lu heard this, he whispered: "I don't care, I want to hear how Xia Jian hit this wild boar" Long Lu said, and really ran over.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "It's very simple, there's nothing to say, if you see a wild boar, just stick a wooden javelin into it" Xia Jian said, and lay down on the stone slab. A sense of sleepiness suddenly hit his heart, and he also felt extremely sleepy.

Long Lu snorted coldly, and ran over to help her grandfather roast the wild boar.

Xia Jian, who fell asleep upside down, didn't know how long he had been asleep, anyway, he was lured by a special smell to open his eyes. He sat up sharply, and saw that the boar's skin had been peeled off, and which javelin had been inserted through the boar's mouth and straight through its buttocks.

On either side of a fire, high stones were piled up, and the ends of the javelins were placed horizontally on the stones. The fire roasted the wild boar meat with a crackling sound, and the smell came from here.

"Come and eat, let's hurry up after eating, otherwise this fragrance will attract wolves" Grandpa Long laughed and said to Xia Jian.

Long Lu, who had just come back with a kettle, glanced at Xia Jian and said, "Don't be stunned, the roaders have to hurry up, otherwise they will sleep in this mountain again tonight."

Xia Jian nodded, then ran over, took out a steel dart, and cut off a piece of the wild boar's butt as Grandpa Long ate. My goodness, it's really delicious.

Xia Jian can also be regarded as a person who has traveled from south to north and has eaten a lot of big meals. But such a delicious wild boar, Xia Jian really ate it for the first time. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Grandpa Long! Your old man can catch up with the ancient imperial chefs."

"I don't dare to take this seriously, but the craftsmanship is still pretty good. In this way, let's eat it well, and take all the baked food that can't be eaten with us on the road. But we have to leave a large piece down, otherwise it will be too heavy to carry, besides, if we carry such fragrant meat on our backs, it will really attract wild wolves" Grandpa Long said, glancing at Long Lu.

Long Lu ate with relish, and didn't care what her grandfather was talking about. Xia Jian understood what the old man meant, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's important to hurry, it's best to travel lightly." Save some food and don't throw away the rest."

Grandpa Long nodded, and while eating, he began to prepare.

Eat meat and drink water, and after a while you can't eat anymore. Not only Xia Jian, but even Grandpa Long stopped. After the old man packed up the meat he had eaten on the road, he put it in Xia Jian's back basket, and then threw the rest into the fire.

Long Lu looked at it with a pity on her face, but in this case, it was important for them to flee for their lives. As soon as they ran out of the danger zone, they didn't know what the road ahead would be? No one can tell.

Because everyone rested for a while and replenished their energy, they walked a lot faster. Grandpa Long is still at the forefront. Because this road is not often walked, it is particularly difficult to walk, not only to remove obstacles on the road, but also to identify and see if you are going wrong, so it is difficult to increase speed.

When the sky was full of stars, they walked out of the big forest. Xia Jian suddenly felt relaxed, as if he had removed a layer of things on his head in an instant.

Looking at the lights in front of him, Grandpa Long said, "There is a small village in front, we can find someone to borrow the dormitory for one night."

"Grandpa! Why don't we go into the village for the time being, because I'm worried that if a group of people wait for us here, then we won't be caught in the net," Xia Jian said a little worriedly.

Grandpa Long thought for a moment and said, "You're right, since we know about this place, others can naturally find it." I wonder if I'm going to make do with the cave in the back for a night."

"Yes! The cave is quite dry, sleeping is not a problem, when I came with you the year before last, didn't we stay there for one night? Long Lu said softly.

Grandpa Long didn't speak again, so he took Xia Jian and Long Lu to find a cave. As their grandchildren said, this cave is not big, but it is very dry inside. The three of them lay down silently, and after a while they began to snore.
