Chapter 36

Early in the morning, boar hole.

Nord slept a little deep. He studied the map late last night and got a lot of harvest. So he was a little excited. He couldn't sleep for a while and a half. He thought about what his strategy of developing the mountain would be like. Lehman's earth shaking snore rang in his ear. Nord didn't know when he fell asleep. When he got up, he was left in the cave.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the rock hanging down like a sword at the top of the cave. Nord was startled and sleepless. He hurried out of the bed. He didn't find it before. It was too scary. He stood up and found that the rock at the top was very solid, but it looked very dangerous when he lay down. He thought he would order someone to get rid of it later, Otherwise, who can stand to see this thing when getting up every day? He is not Gou Jian, the king of Yue. He sleeps on firewood and tastes gall all day and works hard.

Out of the cave, the hunters have finished training and are busy with other things, such as fetching water. Many people have to stay in the wild boar cave these days. They really need to prepare a lot of things. As for fetching water, they must go to the small river in the west of the wild boar cave and put it in the big wooden bucket at the base of the wild boar cave for people to use.

Nord, who got up too late, began his day's training without blushing and jumping. When Nord finished his training, he saw the three Lehman men coming back from the gate of the stronghold, with a few pheasants and rabbits in their hands.

"Lord Nord, you're up. We just went out for a walk. We're lucky to catch some small prey today. We'll comfort you later."

"You came back just in time. I had a little inference yesterday. I'll tell you later."

Eating the roast rabbit meat in his hand, Nord couldn't help but make complaints about it. It was worse than Abel's exquisite craftsmanship, looking at the eyes of old Moore and Harry. Nord told them what they had said last night.

"Really, Lord Nord, how sure you are, let's start now."

As soon as Nord finished speaking, Harry was a little impatient. Although Harry was nearly thirty, he was still as anxious as a dozen young people. I don't know whether it was isolation or personal reasons. Lehman, a few years older than him, seemed unusually calm.

Although old Moore was very worried, he gave Harry a look and motioned him to finish his meal first.

"Lord Nord, Harry grew up in the mountains and forests. He doesn't know etiquette. Don't take it to heart."

Nord quickly ate the rabbit meat in his hand and didn't take Harry's offense to heart. Nord was not an arrogant aristocrat in this era and thought he was born superior. Besides, Harry didn't mean to offend, and old Moore had blamed him. Nord pushed the boat with the current and sang a red face.

"It doesn't matter. Harry is also worried. It's not a serious mistake, but if other nobles had cut off your tongue."

Finally, Nord intimidated Harry. Sure enough, Harry was jumped, turned pale and subconsciously covered his mouth. Nord just said it casually, but Lehman and old Moore knew that offending a noble was very serious, and Viscount Ollie collison tortured the civilians who offended him.

Old Moore taught Harry seriously. When Lehman arranged the affairs of the stronghold, Nord and others set out again.

For more than half a month in the future, Nord will stay in the mountains every day, explore the mountains during the day and come back at night to end the harvest. With the continuous deepening, it will take longer and longer.

Now it will take two or three days to go out. It should be to prepare food and water. Nord and others can't stay in the mountains all the time. They must return to the boar cave to replenish. They also have to ease their mood, especially the latter is more important.

Staying in the mountains and forests for a long time, the repeated and constant environment around and the futility of every day will be bound up with everyone's psychology. Nord understands this truth. Therefore, Nord's work every day includes comforting everyone's mentality, summarizing the harvest every day, and fully learning the experience and lessons of last time, so we can't lose confidence and hope.

This time, Nord and others have been in the mountains for three days. It's not that Nord and others haven't gone back, but now they have entered the depths of the mountains. The previous journey has been two days.

There is no road in the mountains and forests, so it is very difficult not to take a step. It is good to walk 20 or 30 kilometers a day.

However, it is not without harvest. After more than half a month's efforts, the map on the animal skin has extended from the boar cave to the north, and the road back and forth is gradually familiar. Without the fear of staying in strange mountains and forests, I will be more secure in my heart.

This time, he went very far to find his way into the mountain. In addition, he had been on the road for three days. Before dark, Lehman decided to find a place to spend the night. Therefore, everyone skillfully raised a bonfire, cut firewood and boil water, which was heartbreaking.

After dark, people always sit around the campfire. Even if Nord fills them with chicken soup every day, the atmosphere at this time is inevitably a little low. Especially after the dark, people's hearts will be more fragile, just like some people will cry because of loneliness at night.

Nord took a mouthful of roasted yam, drank the soup boiled with wild vegetables, and began to stabilize his military spirit and daily summary.

"Until today, we have gone very far. I believe that the remote mountain stronghold may be close in front of us. There is a saying in my hometown that people who travel a hundred miles are half and 90, which means..."

"Be careful!"

Lehman, who was listening to Nord's speech, suddenly had a violent drink, pulled up half the wood burned in the campfire and threw it into the dark.

Nord and others were shocked by Lehman and looked in the direction Lehman pointed out.

The stick on the burning side drew a gorgeous track in the air, and only a sad howl came from the darkness.

"Meow ~ woo ~"

As soon as they stared, a dark shadow flashed by. In the dark jungle, a pair of green eyes were staring at them. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the darkness.

"Black Mountain cat!"

"It's a black mountain cat!"

Old Moore and Harry said in unison. The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Nord and others were puzzled. Is the black Bobcat an animal just in the dark? What's so happy about that?

"What animal is the black Bobcat? I haven't seen it in the mountain forest. It walks quietly. I almost didn't find it."

Lehman's face was puzzled. He had never been to such a deep place in the mountains for so many years. This was the first time Lehman saw this animal. The smile on old Moore's face has not disappeared until now.

"That thing is called Heishan cat. I haven't seen it for more than 20 years. This kind of animal haunts every night and silently catches prey. It especially likes the fire light at night. When there are few people in Yuanshan stronghold, they dare not expose the fire light at night. They are afraid that Heishan cat will touch their home. The adults of the stronghold use Heishan cat to scare children. If they don't obey, Heishan cat will be killed at night Eat! "

Nord's face also showed a happy smile and understood the implication of old Moore.

"You mean..."
