After eating some wild fruits, I rested overnight in the jungle.

The next morning, they embarked on the return journey.

Speaking of which, the weather was still a little cold. There was a fog in the middle of the night. The fog did not dissipate in the morning, and the visibility was not high.

But no one complained, but was very happy.

The fog and low visibility mean that they are also less likely to be discovered by the Kerry people.

As for the severe cold, it will have little impact on everyone.

Who are they? The hunters and cobblers of the fur company, they will not be able to wear anything.

Lin Yao was wearing a leather jacket made of bearskin, which was done by the camp craftsmen. The needlework may not be as good as the tailor in the town, and it is enough to keep warm.

The same goes for others. Uncle Taylor and nephew were wearing deerskin coats, and Hawk even had a wolf-skin cloak.

The worst-case unknown cobblers all have a thick beaver coat, and it is not easy to freeze them to death.

"Stop, there is smoke in front of you!"

After walking for a morning, the fog dissipated at noon.

Lin Yao and his group stood on the mountain, looking at the smoke from the distance, because the distance was too far, they couldn't see clearly.

It can be roughly judged that the smoke is located more than ten miles away.

Of course, if you look at the mountains, you will die. It is surrounded by mountains. The mountain road of more than ten miles can make you walk for a short time.

"It should be the Kerry people, and only they dare to make a blatant fire!" Taylor stood beside him and said, then said: "Following the Kerry people's location, Grass and the others should be in front of us. We are about 20 miles a mountain road, which is 6 hours away!"

Compared to the second tier behind, Glas and the first tier members were faster because of the Kerry chasing.

The Kerry people were more than ten miles away from them, and Glas and the others would add a few more miles to this distance.

The two sides probably did not meet today, at least Lin Yao and his group did not hear the gunshots.

Without fog, gunfire could be heard in the quiet mountains and forests for at least ten miles.

"We have to change directions and can't follow them anymore."

Lin Yao looked at the smoke from the distance and said to Hawk, who was sitting on a stretcher and carried by Taylor's nephew, "Haoke, help us choose a route, it's easier to walk on."

Hawke didn't speak, and took the map and thought seriously.

After a while, he pointed to the hill in the north and the peak in the east: "We go east in the mountain in front. If nothing unexpected happens, it is our way in. My father and others did not choose to take this road, they should have planned to give this road to us."

All roads lead to Rome, and as long as the direction is good, you can walk out of the reserve.

The difference is that it is easier to walk or be more twists and turns.

Grass and his group crossed mountains and ridges, taking the most dangerous route, but they did not follow the Kerry people behind them, so they could take a safer route.

"We'll also take a break and go find something to eat separately."

Lin Yao signaled everyone to stop first, and he took his bow and arrow out to hunt.

Their bows already had arrows, which were cut by old cobblers on the road with branches, enough to deal with small and medium-sized prey such as rabbits and elks.

As for the wolves and black bears, they are not too worried.

Carnivorous animals within a radius of hundreds of kilometers were almost hunted by them, and those who did not die became frightened birds.

Compared to wild beasts, they should be more careful about the Kree who turned back.

Behind Glas and the others, more than a hundred Kree warriors, plus several Kree warriors.

No one is sure whether they will keep chasing.

If they chase halfway and some people choose to return, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who are following behind will be in danger. This is also the reason why Lin Yao hopes to change the route.

"The harvest is good. I hunted a pheasant. I didn't know there were pheasants here!"

Half an hour later, Lin Yao returned to the temporary camp: "What have you found?"

"Some wild mushrooms, there are a lot of this thing in the woods," Taylor replied.

"I found some wild vegetables. If I could make a fire, it would be great. Stewed mushrooms on pheasants and sprinkle some wild vegetables on them. It is a unique place in the world." William said boredly.

"Don't think about it. The thick smoke will attract the Kerry people. I don't want to be chased."

Lin Yao denied William's fantasy, and he also wanted to eat pheasant stewed mushrooms, but it was unrealistic.

The thick smoke attracts the Kerry people, so they have no choice, whether it is a pheasant or a mushroom, they have to eat raw.

Fortunately, they are wilderness hunters, and eating raw meat is their essential skill.

If it is replaced by waste green in the city, you will not have to eat as much as you vomit.

"This pheasant is very fat, and with mushrooms and wild vegetables, it won't be enough for everyone to eat, but I'm probably going to be able to eat 70% full."

Lin Yao threw the pheasant to William for treatment, and he sat on the stone and wiped the rifle, muttering: "I want to eat roasted potatoes. Just make a fire and throw the potatoes inside. After the exam, peel off the skin, and the fragrance will make people drool!"

"gentlemen?"

"Um?"

Lin Yao looked up and found that the person who called him was Hawk, so he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Captain Gerrard is really joining the boss and the others?" Hawke stood aside and looked at him with a crutch.

Lin Yao's face remained unchanged and asked, "Of course, what about that?"

Hawke didn't ask again, but he always felt that Lin Yao's statement was a bit perfunctory.

If you change to a normal person, you will know that there are Kerry people in front of you. If you want to meet with the first echelon, you have to cross the Kerry people's defense line, which is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

How could Gerald do this? As the captain of the hunting team, he knew very well how powerful the Kerry was.

The Kerry not only had bows and arrows and spears, but also muskets and hunting rifles as weapons.

Not to mention whether you can catch up with the first echelon, the Kerry level alone makes people feel bad. How could a smart person like Gerald take risks?

"Don't think about it all the time. You have to rest more and try to get better early. We can't keep carrying you away."

Lin Yao didn't let Hawke continue thinking. Instead of thinking about this, it would be better to think about what to do next.

They cannot always live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, so they must get rid of the Kerry people as soon as possible and return to a civilized society with flames and camps.

After an hour of rest, the team set off again in the afternoon.

It was evening when they stopped. They took an afternoon to walk nearly ten miles of mountain road.

After all, I can walk about fifty miles a day.

Some people may think that this number is not high. For example, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, our army marched about 140-160 miles a day, and it can even reach 200 miles a day when forcing it.

But that is the speed of the land marching and there is a road, so it will definitely be much slower if it is a mountain.

They had no ready-made roads, and with the disabled, the fifty-mile mountain road was their limit.

Lin Yao is quite satisfied with the current speed. According to his own estimate, it will take about 15 to 17 days to get out of the reserve.

Unfortunately, just when Lin Yao felt that everything was developing in a good direction, the first challenger came.

That night, it started to rain and snow in the mountains.

This is the first sleet in early winter, and it may be the last one.

No matter what, this sleet is coming at a bad time.

Lin Yao and his group curled up under a big tree, clanging together as much as possible to keep warm.

But this is useless. The leaves in autumn have fallen out and the bare trunks cannot stop the rain and snow.

There was no other way, they could only hide in their coats and hide them like insect cocoons.

Even so, it can't stop the rain from pouring back, and this night was really tormenting.

In the second half of the night, Lin Yao, who was not sleepy for a long time, tightened his bear fur coat.

He had a bear-skin coat to keep warm, and he felt that this night was hard to bear.

Others don't have the conditions like him, so they probably feel even colder.

I don’t know how the old cobbler is doing?

He only has one beaver leather jacket, which is enough to keep warm in normal times, but probably not enough at this time.

To be honest, they were still not considerate and forgot to wear a few sluts on them before leaving.
