Chapter 34 The First Whistle
The peaks on the northernmost side of Qianxia Ridge originally had no names.
But because there are several martial arts schools in Cangshui County, every autumn hunting time, they will each choose a mountain as the path to Qianxia Ridge.
Ten years ago, Su Chaodong proposed to name these mountains and erect stone monuments as evidence.
So, there are Qiuzhi Peak of Songhe Martial Arts School, Lei Shengpo of Lei Family, Tunxiang Peak of Huang Family, Fei Wang Peak of Fei Wang Martial Arts School and Tianqin Peak of Liu Family.
Then this group of people classified other hills in Qianxia Ridge into these five ranks according to the terrain.
For example, the peaks directly south of Qiuzhi Peak are called Qiuzhi Second Peak and Third Peak.
People who practice martial arts are so pragmatic and only occasionally become elegant.
When the sun rose, the people from Songhe Martial Arts Hall had already entered Qiuzhi Peak.
If we follow the old rules, in order to improve hunting efficiency, the disciples sent by each martial arts school will be divided into groups of five and search in all directions.
However, there are only twenty-four people in Songhe Martial Arts School. After discussion, it was decided to work in groups of four and divide them into six groups.
The other three people in Su Hanshan's group are Luo Ping, Zuo Xiangyun, and a senior brother, Chen Yingjie.
Chen Yingjie has a slender figure and a strong waist. His long hair is rolled into a ball on the top of his head and tied with a cloth. There is no stray hair on his forehead. He looks very energetic.
It’s just that he has a lot of stubble on his chin and wrinkles between his eyebrows, which makes him look a little more melancholy.
After grouping into groups, he walked at the front, holding a long sword and sweeping away the weeds and thorns blocking the way.
Luo Ping held his long stick slung behind his back, pushing Su Hanshan's wheelchair, not so much pushing, but holding it, holding the back of the chair with both hands, and the wheels basically did not touch the ground, avoiding bumps.
Zuo Xiangyun was walking on the left side of Su Hanshan, with a long bow and quiver crossed on his back, and a long knife on his waist.
Among girls of the same age, she is definitely one of the tallest. She is about the same height as Su Hanshan. Carrying so many weapons does not seem cumbersome, but makes her more capable.
“After climbing the first peak, the search range of each disciple will expand, and people from different martial arts schools will have a greater chance of meeting and competing.”
Chen Yingjie’s voice came over, "In the past few years, our martial arts school has adhered to one principle when participating in hunting, which is to try not to have disputes with other martial arts schools and avoid them if we can."
"So only the first peak of Qiuzhi Peak is where we can search for prey. We must be careful and never let go of any beast of average size or above."
Su Hanshan and the three of them, this year It was their first time to participate in autumn hunting, and Chen Yingjie was the most experienced among the twenty-four of them.
The four people were put together after careful consideration.
“But I heard that the first peak is the place with the fewest large prey.”
Luo Ping said, “And Senior Brother Tian said that last year, the people in our martial arts hall were basically the same. Just staring at the first peak and searching back and forth, are there really any medium-sized beasts here? ”
Chen Yingjie turned sideways and explained: "There are countless wild beasts deep in the Fulong Mountains. Every year, many wild beasts flock to Qianxia Ridge. We organize autumn hunting every year with the purpose of preventing these wild beasts from continuing to hunt. The scope of activities expands outwards, harassing the people."
< br>"So, no matter how clean we hunted the beasts on the first peak last year, there will always be other beasts who realize that this is a no-owner's land and come to occupy the territory."
After all, martial arts hunting , squirrels, roe deer, rabbits and the like are not counted in the score.
On the outskirts of Qianxia Ridge, these small wild animals have not been hunted extensively. They are good granaries for the large beasts deep in the mountains.
Zuo Xiangyun raised his head at this time, Qiong Bai's nose twitched, took off the long bow, drew the arrow in his hand, and ran towards the woods on the side.
She was wearing a brown outfit, cowhide wristbands, and leather boots with slightly raised toes. When she ran, she looked like a running elk, but she was more agile than a deer. The obstacles in the jungle could not hinder her at all. action.
In the blink of an eye, she ran ten feet away, jumped onto the horizontal branch of the big tree, squatted down, and shot an arrow.
About thirty feet away, a wild boar howled, and the sound suddenly stopped.
When Chen Yingjie and others arrived there, they saw a piece of mud behind the bushes. There was a big wild boar with stiff limbs lying there. There was an arrow stuck in the pig's body.
Wild boars have thick skin and like to roll in the mud. They often have a thick layer of mud on their bodies. Many hunters use bows and arrows to deal with wild boars, but the effect is not good.
Because if the bow and arrow are weak, they will not be able to hurt the wild boar at all, but if a strong person is asked to fully draw the strong bow, it is possible to shoot an arrow directly through the wild boar's body. Even if a large beast like a wild boar is shot, it will not lose its ability to move immediately. Instead, it will become more ferocious, run wildly, and be very harmful.
Zuo Xiangyun’s arrow must have hit the vital point, so that the wild boar could be killed on the spot, its muscles would lose control, and the body would become rigor mortis.
"Okay, you will get something as soon as you enter the mountain."
Chen Yingjie took out a whistle and blew it.
This is a whistle uniformly issued by the government. No matter which martial arts hall or which group of people has harvested something, as long as this whistle is blown, the hunters scattered nearby will rush over, transport the large prey away, and go back to record it. On the books.
The whistle just blew, and soon the sound of eagles came over them.
The falcon domesticated by the county government is hovering above. It can not only point out the direction for the agents to whom the falcon belongs, but also inform the agents in other directions that someone has already taken care of it here.
Su Hanshan glanced at the falcon, turned around and asked, "How do you know there is a wild boar here?"
The wild boar didn't make any big noise before, and after another three Even though he was ten feet away and as skilled as Su Hanshan, he didn't hear anything strange.
Even an experienced person like Chen Yingjie could not detect any clues in advance.
“I smell the stink of wild boar.”
Zuo Xiangyun only replied and kept silent. However, when he saw Su Hanshan still looking at him, he thought about it and then added.
"My dad likes to let me smell the smell of various goods he transports, so I can distinguish the smell of many wild animals when I was a child."
Su Hanshan thought to himself: Smelling the scent of a wild boar thirty feet away must be a gift. Normal people would never be able to do it even if they had practiced since childhood.
He was about to speak, but when he saw Zuo Xiangyun's reticent appearance, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Su Chaodong and Zuo Longsheng have a good relationship. Su Hanshan and Zuo Xiangyun have also known each other since they were children.
However, because everyone liked to praise Su Hanshan at that time, Zuo Xiangyun disliked him.
Later, Su Hanshan was paralyzed and Zuo Xiangyun went to visit him. When Su Hanshan was in a bad mood, he got angry over some trivial things and scolded Zuo Xiangyun. The two had no contact with each other. .
But Su Hanshan still remembers that this girl used to have a very lively temperament.
What has happened in the past few years has not only changed Su Hanshan, but has also caused harm to those who are disabled.
It should be said that it was a heavy blow to everyone related to Songhe Martial Arts School.
Su Hanshan looked at Chen Yingjie, and the relatively thin impression in his mind became clear unconsciously.
Senior Brother Chen, who used to hang out with a large group of senior brothers and sisters to play with him and give him small gifts, is definitely not the frowning person he is now.
Su Hanshan has been immersed in his own affairs in the past few years, and only has a summary understanding of the plight of the martial arts school.
Until now, the joy of his legs recovering was completely dispelled by the heaviness.
In the past five years, many little things around him that he didn't care to think about came to his mind one after another, making him truly feel another kind of discomfort.
Several agents have arrived to transport the wild boar away.
Chen Yingjie came over and said something to them. Su Hanshan hummed, but actually didn't remember that sentence in his mind.
But when a voice that did not belong to the same sect sounded, it suddenly brought him back to reality.
"Haha, not bad!"
Huang Qianli walked out of the woods, "The first whistle was blown so quickly."
"Is it true that our great genius reappeared? Did it bring you some good luck to Songhe Martial Arts School?”
