Chapter 84: Coming out of the mountain
With paper cranes flying in front to guide the way, Jiang Yao climbed over the mountains and ridges. In the blink of an eye, it was already more than an hour later.
The paper crane, which had been flying with its wings spread, burst into flames out of thin air with a 'pop' sound, and turned into ashes.
"Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao..." Waves of shouts followed the wind and reached Jiang Yao's ears.
Slightly stunned, he looked towards the direction of the sound.
On the mountain ridge in the distance, the fires shining from the torches looked like long dragons, which looked so conspicuous in the dark night.
Although the shouting voices were a bit mixed, Jiang Yao could only distinguish them slightly. Jiang Yao could already tell that the owners of the voices were clearly Tong Gang and Bingzai.
"Here, I'm here!" He shouted repeatedly and responded.
Originally, he had a flashlight on his body, but when he was chased by the tiger, he didn't know where he left it. Only the butcher's knife was always held tightly in his hand.
It is for this reason that when he successfully put the tiger into his dream, he wanted to get out of the forest, but ended up getting lost in it.
Jiang Yao's voice had obviously fallen into the ears of those holding torches in the distance. After a slight pause, the firelights were already heading in his direction.
More than ten minutes later, he finally gathered with the people who went into the mountain to look for him.
"Jiang Yao, you're okay, that's great!"
"When we left, we heard the roar of a tiger from behind, which scared us to death."
"We were really worried that something would happen to you. We went to the town police station to report the case as soon as we got out. But they said that the case had not been filed for less than 48 hours. Their attitude..."
As soon as they saw Jiang Yao, Bingzi and Tonggang were filled with joy and rushed over to him immediately.
Facing a beast like a tiger, it is really difficult for ordinary people to maintain a normal mentality. Although they did not actually see a real tiger, the roars of tigers coming from behind made the two of them completely confused at that time. A square inch.
Although Jiang Yao had told them not to worry about anything after leaving the mountain, they could just wait for him to come back.
How could Tong Gang, Bingzi and Tong Gang, who knew that Jiang Yao was facing a life-and-death crisis, really ignore it?
After going to the police station to report the crime but receiving no response, the two had no choice but to ride Jiang Yao's motorcycle back to Liu Chunlai's home.
As soon as he heard about encountering a tiger, Liu Chunlai immediately summoned six or seven men and accompanied Bingzi and Tong Gang up the mountain to look for Jiang Yao.
“I’ve warned you a long time ago, don’t run into the mountains if you have nothing to do.”
“It’s okay if you don’t listen, but you secretly run into the mountains even after dark. Come out."
"The prey in the mountains is not so easy to hunt. Our old hunters often come back empty-handed after going up the mountain."
"That's just you. My purpose is to bring food to the wild animals in the mountains. You are lucky to have escaped with your life this time.”
"Remember to have a better memory in the future. If it weren't for the sake of soldiers, who would care about your life or death."
......
Liu Chunlai walked a few steps with a straight face. When he came to Jiang Yao, he scolded him angrily.
Originally, he had already huddled under the quilt and was about to hand in his homework to his wife.
Bing Zai and Tong Gang suddenly came over and said that they went into the mountains privately in the afternoon and encountered a tiger. One of their companions was stuck deep in the mountains and has not come out yet.
He is Bingzai's uncle, and his wife is Bingzai's aunt. Bingzai Jiang Yao visited their house several afternoons carrying fruits.
After receiving the request for help from Bingzi and Tonggang, no matter how dissatisfied Liu Chunlai was, he had to take care of this matter!
Hearing that there was a tiger out and about, he had to pay favors and find acquaintances nearby to help him climb the mountain together.
Fortunately, the group of people had not gone far into the mountain. Jiang Yao had already appeared in front of them before they entered the mountain.
But facing Jiang Yao at this moment, he still wouldn't show him a good look. "Uncle, this is all my fault. I'm really sorry for bothering you all to go up the mountain to look for me this late at night."
“It’s not yet twelve o’clock, and I don’t know if there are any restaurants in this town where we can have late-night snacks?”
“If there are, I would like to invite everyone to a restaurant. To express my gratitude."
......
After being scolded by Liu Chunlai, Jiang Yao naturally found it difficult to refute.
After walking here under the guidance of Zhihe, he had already left the deep mountain area. If he walked a little further along the mountain road, he could actually get out of the mountain.
Despite this, Liu Chunlai and others had no connection with him. They went into the mountains to look for him at night. This was a good intention. Jiang Yao must accept this favor.
“National Highway 319 passes through the middle of our town, and many restaurants on the roadside are open all night.”
“Invite us to a restaurant, we can’t do it without wine and meat. Okay."
"Jiang Yao? If you really want to invite so many of us, just don't worry about the money later!"
...
Hearing what Jiang Yao said, many of the men who went up the mountain with Liu Chunlai brightened up and their expressions softened a lot.
Although they are leaning against the mountains, they are not Jiang Yao. For ordinary people, even if they see prey, they may disappear into the bushes before they can take action. .
Without the ability to cheat, it is really not that easy for ordinary people to hunt prey from the mountains.
On weekdays, it is difficult to find any other way to make money besides relying on the farmland at home.
Just like Liu Chunlai, didn’t he also have to cut bamboo and make frames to make money during the off-season?
At this time, it may be a little late, but Jiang Yao's proposal to invite them to a restaurant still has a lot of appeal to them.
"What is there to feel bad about? If you are willing to go, you are giving me face."
"I bother you all to run to the mountains so late and entertain you well. This is a must. ”
“As long as everyone eats and drinks well, I feel a little better!”
Shrugging, Jiang Yao chuckled and responded.
“You are so generous, little brother. If you say so, then we won’t be polite!”
“In the restaurant on the side of the national highway, there is not only wine and meat, but also girls. After eating and drinking, I still want to have fun, what should I do?”
“Get out! It would be nice if you can have a good meal. If you still want to find a girl, don’t worry about your wife knowing about it. I’ll punish you by kneeling on the washboard all night long.”
“Am I afraid of this? Let me tell you, I already have experience kneeling on the washboard!”
...
I was called out by Liu Chunlai late at night to go up the mountain to look for people. Many of them were out of favor.
After hearing that Jiang Yao invited them to a restaurant, these rough guys naturally felt much more relaxed. As they talked, their conversations began to become a bit inappropriate.
Jiang Yao's motorcycle was parked in front of Liu Chunlai's house. There was still a little distance from this place to Yangxi Town.
After coming out of the mountain, Jiang Yao and Tong Gang Bingzai whispered a few words and asked them to ride to the town to find a place first. After he chatted and laughed with the others, he set off towards the town.
