Chapter 287, On the West Road - Six-legged Deer and Hunter Campfire Empty
The next day, after Kiel packed up all the things he wanted to bring out, he pushed his trolley out.
He first bought a batch of freshly baked bread in the bakery on the street, and then went to the table corner tavern to bring a batch of frozen meat. Now the temperature outside is low to below freezing point, so Kiel is not
I am also worried about whether the food I carry will be damaged when going out.
It wasn't OK to have meat and bread alone. He came to the grocery store in the city gate square and bought a small pot and a can of dried mushrooms.
He greeted several guards at the city gate and chatted for a few words.
Learning that Kiel is also going to the west of Kendall City to find the culprit of the mysterious things that have been torn up recently, several city guards advised Kiel to be careful. If you encounter something unusual, you must escape first and survive.
It's the most important.
Thanks to the reminder of several guards, Kiel tightly held the wolf-haired cloak and pushed the car to set off.
He first went down the gentle slope outside the city gate, and then followed the road outside the city wall to the north.
On the baron's field not far away, some old sheds were already seen from afar. The militias from various villages who came from the distance of the county have begun to gather gradually recently.
Those who have not arrived yet are probably already on the way. I heard that the militias from each village will conduct regular training here for more than ten days, and then set out south to clear the forests where bandits appear near Bingxun Pass
.
Of course, the militia of the brigade would not enter the depths of the mountains, but would only go back and forth on the east and west sides of Bingxun Pass and in the southern area.
Experienced bandit gangs risked being attacked by various monsters deep in the mountains early in winter to go into the mountains to avoid militias. After all, compared with the large number of people, the well-organized militias, the brainless monsters can still be better.
Deal with a little.
Keel walked along the road outside the city wall. After walking around to the north side of Kendall City, he saw a strange mechanical lifting platform on the north wall.
On the outer space of the dungeon of this lifting platform, there are a large number of tree trunks piled up.
Kiel immediately guessed that this was the source of firewood and fuel for everyone in the city who usually cooked fire and cooked. After walking for a while, Kiel indeed saw a canal built manually on the road.
The canal divides the road and the fields to the north into two, extending all the way to the Kendall River. At this time, he saw that there was a thick trunk floating on these canals, standing on the trunk.
Under the guidance of people, he gradually approached Kendall City along the canal.
As the temperature reached freezing point, there were already some scattered freezing on the surface of the canal divided from the Kendall River. A young child was wearing warm clothes and was squatting in front of the trunks that were advancing along the canal, with his hands on his hands
A long wooden pole hit the crumbs in front of him.
Two people on the trunk saw Kiel passing by the road. They greeted each other with friendly greetings, and Kiel also replied with friendly greetings. It is probably because they do this job and rarely see people, especially in winter.
When they saw Kiel's friendly response, they asked loudly from afar: "Hey! Where are you going?"
Kiel also yelled in fun: "Go to the west."
Hearing Kiel's answer, the two men were silent for a while, and then responded loudly again: "Don't go! Many people died on the way to the west!"
The child sitting in front of the thick tree trunk refuted his companion: "It's not dead! It's missing! It's missing!"
The two argued: "Isn't it just dead after missing for so many days?"
"No, I can come back if I disappear, but I can't come back if I die."
"Hehe, the longer you disappear, can you know if you are still the one you are back?"
"Why are you doing this? Don't say these terrible things."
Kiel was funny and responded loudly to them: "Look! I have this thing on my hand, and I am not afraid of things in the wilderness." Kiel said, pulling out the long sword from his waist, signaling to the two of them, and then
Insert into the scabbard.
Then he took out the two-handed axe placed on the trolley and raised it with one hand, so that the two people not far away could see the strange color of his axe face.
It seemed that Kiel's actions seemed to bring confidence to the two men who transported thick tree trunks along the canal: "Can it work?" They asked Kiel loudly.
Kiel laughed and shouted to them, "No problem! Leave it to me!"
Kiel pushed his cart through the wooden bridge where the road and the canal meet, waved his hand, and said goodbye to the chamber of commerce who was accidentally supplied with firewood throughout the city.
The village to the west of Kendall City is not very far from Kendall City. After all, Kendall County is a region with a long north and narrow east and west. Moreover, Kendall City itself is located in a large river near the south and west of the county and impacting the plains.
superior.
So after leaving Kendall City, you can reach the westernmost village of the county - Yinlulin Village, just about two days' walk away.
Why is this village called? He once asked Todd curiously, but Todd didn't know much. So he asked Jamesa again. Jamesa had been to various villages in the county and knew why this village was so called someone so much.
An uneasy name.
The reason is very simple, because the north and south of the gloomy forest village are filled with large forests and mountains, and their entire village is located in a small plain caught by two forests from Kendall City to the west.
Zhao Ji went west along the road. There was no fork on this road, because after walking west from Kendall City for a short time, his originally wide view was eroded by large forests on both sides of the north and south.
The cultivated farmland that could be seen everywhere gradually turned into shrubs with leaves and tall yellow weeds.
The more we move forward, the more Zhao Ji felt that it would be normal for anything to jump out of the forest on both sides of the road. No one was attacked for so long before, but now it is a strange thing.
matter.
Unlike the forests in the south of Dolarlin Village, there is an excessive forest there. There is no transition on both sides of the road here, and you will directly enter the dark forest with tall trees from the less open weeds.
No wonder this village is called Yinlulin Village.
Looking at the forest that still looks dark after the leaves fall, Zhao Ji felt that if the people who have been looking at these forests all year round just feel gloomy, that is already the feeling that only the most optimistic person can get.
Unlike outside Kendall City, Keel did not feel the wind blowing around him on this westward road. On the plains near Kendall City, the wind was quite strong there, and he had to tightly sway it.
Tie the cloak so that the cloak will not be blown away.
And here, it is quiet around it. The birds have already flown south after winter, and the insects hide themselves deeply in the depths of the ground, quietly waiting for the heavy rain in the spring next year.
Some large beasts probably have hibernated in the caves they dug out of themselves, preparing to live through the cold winter of another year by relying on a long sleep.
At this time, only those small and small animals that were still making noises in the forest were left.
Zhao Ji heard the movement carefully. He stopped the squeaking trolley, and carefully took out the bows and arrows outside the supplies of the vehicle without making any sound.
Hang the arrow pouch on the belt, Zhao Ji put a solid bow string on one end of the short bow, and then stood the bow body on the ground. His arm exerted force to bending the bow body with the weight of his body, and then quickly put the other end of the bow string.
On the bow.
After pulling the bow string twice, Zhao Ji felt that the low temperature had not affected the bow body of the simple bow. He pulled out an arrow and placed it on the bow string, staring at the bush not far away that kept making noises.
‘I heard the sound, I’m not a big guy. I probably wouldn’t have encountered the culprit of the missing incident just after I arrived on this road, right?’ Zhao Ji thought to himself.
Experience told him that it should be impossible. But Zhao Ji was still prepared for the battle.
Something seemed to be moving in the bushes in the distance. When the other party's body met a shrub that was taller, it caused a rustling sound at the top of the bushes.
Zhao Ji saw the approximate position, raised his hand and pulled the string until it was full, and then loosened his fingers.
With a whoosh, the feather arrow drew an arc and plunged into the place where Zhao Ji aimed. This simple bow and arrow was quite good for him, but the force was a bit too small.
"Why!" A small animal's howl came.
Immediately afterwards, a gray and yellow figure rushed out from behind the bush and stumbled out.
But before the thing could run two steps, Zhao Ji released another arrow and shot it on the animal's hind legs. The animal couldn't jump up at once, fell to the ground and started to wail.
Zhao Ji leaned over without care. He still pushed the cart forward on the road, guarding against something coming to ambush him in the bushes.
The little animal that fell in the distance struggled to stand up and wanted to run away. Zhao Ji let go of the car, raised his bow, pulled the arrow, and pulled the bow and let it go.
Because he narrowed the distance, Zhao Ji hit the animal's stomach with this arrow.
I don’t know if I have no strength, but after another arrow, the little animal lies on the ground peacefully, just wailing, but no longer runs away.
Seeing that the animal stopped running, Zhao Ji slowly pushed the cart closer to the small animal. When he walked forward, he reached the place closest to the road. Zhao Ji put down his bow and arrow, pulled out a bundle of strong thin ropes from his waist, tied a slip knot,
But go, stand on the road and put the rope around the erect neck of the little animal.
After pulling it a few times, the slip knots tightened, and the little animal had to stand up and pull it toward Zhao Ji.
It turned out to be a deer.
However, unlike Zhao Ji's impression, the deer actually has six legs and its body looks longer. Its mouth is wide and it contains molars that chew plants. There is only one corner on its head and a single corner.
There is dirt on the top of it, and there is dirt on its mouth.
It seems that this guy was digging the roots of the shrub before. I don’t know if he wanted to eat the roots of the shrub, so he shook the shrub and let Zhao Ji discover it.
The deer was dirty. The bow and arrow that Zhao Ji shot on it seemed to have hit three times, but after Zhao Ji pulled out the arrow, he found that this guy was not injured. It was probably because he was killed by Zhao.
Ji attacked, and was so scared that he couldn't run away, so he could only stay on the ground and be captured by him.
The deer with six legs was tied to Zhao Ji and placed on a trolley. He planned to wait until the evening before trying to find a way to eat the little animal he captured.
It was cold and cold. I heard that wild deer that can nourish the body is also very good.
I just don't know if something will attack him at night.
The arrow wound on the six-legged deer quickly stopped bleeding. Although it was tied up by Zhao Ji, she was constantly trying to get out of trouble. Unfortunately, it had no hands and could not untie the rope that tied it, so it soon
Quiet and no longer trying to break free from the ropes.
