Chapter 005 Crisis Approaching

Meng Xiang and Yan Shi have been in the mountains for three days, and their hearts have been hanging a little. Perhaps the people from other places are really confused by their various means, and they have never found them.

Yan Shi saw a strong sika deer walking by not far away in front of them, speaking with resentment in his voice: "Those people are really not things! If it weren't for them, we would have gained a lot this time."

It is no wonder Yan Shi was angry. In order to prevent being caught up by the group of outsiders and affecting the speed of escape, even if they saw good prey, they could only watch them slip away from their eyelids. The prey they encountered in these three days was particularly rich. For a hunter, it is not a pleasant thing to only see but not move.

Meng Xiang patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Stone, if you hold on, the prey will not disappear. As long as the group of outsiders leave, we will not let ourselves do whatever we want."

Yan Shi just vented his dissatisfaction, and it would be fine if he said it, he wasn't really angry at all. After hearing Meng Xiang's words, he nodded: "Brother Meng, I'm fine, I'm just venting."

As he said that, a look of flattering expression appeared on his face: "Brother Meng, we haven't seen those people for so long, are we..." As he said that, he stared at Meng Xiang with anticipation.

"Stone, what do you want to say?" Meng Xiang asked without raising his head, holding a small branch and drawing something on the ground.

"Brother Meng, can we eat meat? These days we eat steamed buns every time, and the steamed buns have long lost their taste, and the steamed buns have changed. If we can't eat some good food and replenish our energy, we won't have the strength to hide if we meet those outsiders."

"That's it. Please let me think about it again." Meng Xiang raised his head and showed a embarrassed look.

"Brother Meng, what else do you think? We have been circling around these days. If we hadn't been familiar with the terrain, we would have been lost long ago. Those people are authentic foreigners, so they are not as familiar with the terrain as we are. Maybe they have been lost in the mountains and forests now. Besides, it rained heavily last night. Even if they hired hunting dogs from fellow villagers, it would be impossible to find our traces. Brother Meng, what are you afraid of?"

"Okay." Meng Xiang thought for a while and said, "I allow you to bake something. But you have to remember that this is only once, and you won't be the case."

"Brother Meng, I understand. I'll just listen to you." Yan Shi jumped up from the ground, walked and ran to the distance. While running, he said, "Brother Meng, you are waiting here. I'll go and fight two pheasants and rabbits back."

Meng Xiang looked at Yan Shi's back as he quickly moved away, shook his head: Shi Tou, this greedy problem, I can't change it when I see him.

Meng Xiang had just picked up the branches and prepared the seasonings. Yan Shi ran over from a distance, holding two pheasants and two fat rabbits in his hand.

After washing and peeling prey in a stream not far away, Meng Xiang dug a small hole by the river and buried the fur and internal organs of the pheasant and rabbit. On the other side, he had already set up a grill and roasted it. When he walked back, the prey had already emitted an attractive fragrance.

Looking at Yan Shi's focused and meticulous look, Meng Xiang shook his head gently: No wonder the old man often said that only when a person is interested in one thing can he devote himself to it.

Not long after, Yan Shi took a roast rabbit off the grill. Regardless of its scalding, he divided it into two halves and handed one of the larger ones to Meng Xiang, indicating that he would eat it soon.

The roasted rabbit is just right, with a crispy outside and tender inside, smooth flesh, and a fragrant lips and teeth. It is a delicious food on earth with a strict and specially configured seasoning. Even in his previous life, he has never eaten such a good barbecue several times.

He couldn't help but nodded: "Shitou, your barbecue skills are really good. I'm afraid that even the chef of Piaoxianglou, the largest restaurant in Guyang City, is not as good as you."

Yan Shi smiled silently, without saying a word, lowered his head and chewed on the fat and tender rabbit legs, his mouth and hands full of oil, and his expression was very pleasant.

The two of them hadn't eaten wild game for a long time when they were in Longzhao Beach. In addition, they had been gnawing on steamed buns that had changed for three days in the mountains. When they saw such delicious food, their appetite suddenly became wide.

The two pheasants and two rabbits weighed more than ten pounds even if they were removed. However, the two ate them cleanly, and Yan Shi even chewed some smaller bones and swallowed them.

After eating and drinking, they simply dealt with the scene. The two of them were originally going to leave immediately, but perhaps because they were too tired, they just changed the location, arranged some simple alarm devices, and took a nap with them against the big tree.

In a daze, I don’t know how long I had been sleeping, Meng Xiang suddenly woke up with a tremor. He seemed to hear the sound after the alarm device was triggered in a trance.

Meng Xiang did not get up immediately, but stayed there, pulled open the weeds and leaves, and looked in the direction of the sound. It didn't matter when he saw it, which immediately frowned.

What he saw was the situation he least wanted to see: not far from the alarm device he set up, a big man in black uniform was looking around vigilantly, and it seemed that he had found something wrong.

Meng Xiang calmed down his mind, gently shook Yan Shi, and covered his mouth before he made a sound, then pointed his finger at the position where the black man was. After seeing the situation clearly, Yan Shi was also a little at a loss.

Meng Xiang handed him a comforting look and began to turn his brains, thinking about ways to get out without being discovered, but what happened next made him feel heavier.

The man who touched the alarm device suddenly inserted his finger into his mouth, and then he made a crisp bird song, which was very similar to the sound of a bird called a coo in the mountains. Even people like Meng Xiang who often hears the cooing birds are difficult to tell the truth. If you have to say anything different between the two, there is only a slight difference in the rhythm.

The bird cries of the man in black had just stopped for a while when a figure flashed. Six men in the same clothes seemed to emerge from the ground and suddenly appeared beside him, with no sound. Then, with his hand, the six people were centered on him, like a blooming flower, spreading in all directions, and still no sound was made.

Seeing this situation, Meng Xiang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he knew that he had met a powerful opponent. Although Yan Shi did not see more things, he obviously noticed something was wrong. Looking at Meng Xiang, his eyes were full of anxiety.

Meng Xiang shook his head gently at him, letting him restlessly, then untied a small cloth bag from his belt, poured out a bamboo tube half a foot long and wrist-thick, opened the lid, and poured out a big mouse from it.

He pinched the mouse's neck to prevent it from making a sound. His other hand woven a hat with branches at an extremely fast speed, put it on his head, slowly raised his head, and looked around. Suddenly, he shook his wrist and threw the big mouse away from them. I don't know what method Meng Xiang used, but it didn't make a sound until the mouse fell to the ground.

The sound of the mouse being fleeing immediately attracted the attention of the seven great men. Under the command of the man who appeared in front, the seven people surrounded the target in a fan shape, quickly and silently.

Meng Xiang saw the seven big men walking far enough, waved to Yan Shi, picked up the things they put next to him and ran out quickly. Both of them ran very fast, and they knew that the mouse could only confuse those people for a short time, and they would soon find something wrong.

Sure enough, they ran out less than a hundred feet away, and the two felt abnormal. Although the sounds made by the seven people were very light, they still learned from various signs that they had chased after them.

After running for a while, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi found that they had not escaped tracking at all, and the distance between the two was still tending to be closer. They couldn't help but feel nervous and their heartbeat accelerated.

After about a cup of tea, the sound of running water suddenly came from their ears. Meng Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around and turned towards the direction where the sound of water came.

After a while, a stream about ten and a half feet wide appeared in front of the two. Since it was summer, the water volume was quite abundant.

The two looked at each other, and a hint of joy appeared in their eyes: moving in the water can eliminate the traces they left, leaving the big men unable to track them. Almost at the same time, they jumped into the stream together and lay on the water surface.

Since they lived by the Nulong River since childhood, they are familiar with water. With the help of water flow and some swimming skills, they are moving faster in the stream than in the mountains and forests.

The two of them walked along the stream for a while, and the feeling of being on their backs finally disappeared. Their mood slowly relaxed, knowing that they had temporarily thrown away the seven big men.

At the same time, there was a saying in their minds that the old man often said: Be careful when doing anything, because accidents often occur when people think that it is the most unlikely.

After swimming with the stream for about half an hour, the two felt that the enemy was unlikely to catch up with them, so they decided to go ashore. But when they slid along the water flow and were about to find a place with a gentle terrain, an accident happened.

A big net was blocked in the turbulent stream, but this was not the most surprising thing about Meng Xiang and Yan Shi. What surprised them the most was the people on the shore. Yan Shi didn't know them, but Meng Xiang knew them. They were the group of outsiders who suddenly appeared in Longzhao Beach.

What surprised Meng Xiang even more was that looking at the state of the group of people, they seemed to have been waiting on the shore for a long time.

How did they know where Yan Shi and I were? Meng Xiang's mind was moving, and he finally decided to wait and see. After secretly giving Yan Shi a wink, he took the lead in standing up from the stream, walked towards the shore, looked at the people with a curious look, and then looked like nothing happened and walked into the mountains and forests next to the stream.
