Chapter 76 Hearing the News

This was Xianlin's promise. The two of them did not dare to be negligent, so they bowed and said respectfully, "Yes!" They were indeed worthy of credit. They both had been hunters. After being ordered by Xianlin, they traveled through mountains and rivers and completed most of the journey. But in front of the old man, the two still looked like they did not dare to take credit.

Xianlin Xiao helped them up. "You two don't have to worry about unloading the goods. It's still early, so I'll walk around with me." After that, he walked towards the river not far away. With his spirits, his steps became much lighter.

The blackface and the big man hurriedly followed.

After walking for a while, the forest kept walking, and after almost surfing the areas near the lower reaches of the left bank, he still wanted to take a raft to the right bank to take a look. But he was old and had a long walk on his face. After many persuasions, the two followed him and he really felt it was difficult to take a step, so he could only go home with their support.

There is only a shed in the new camp for the time being. There are rows of wooden stakes around it, but a piece of colorful and thick cloth on the top. It is hard to hide its pride when he saw it. This is the spoil he harvested after driving away Quan Hao. He has not yet figured out what it is made of, and he can make it impossible to leak. But no matter how novel it is, it has fallen into his hands?

Of course, this only shed was prepared for Xianlin. He didn't have to be polite and walked in directly. It was still empty for the time being, except for a hammock that was both a trick, there were only a few boxes. Xianlin opened one of them and took out a roll of white paper from it. Xianlin had never seen such white and fine paper before, and even the letter paper he had written for the former owner was rougher than it. It stretched slightly and elastic, and there was a faint fragrance when he smelled it. Needless to think, it must be used to write. Unfortunately, it was searched all over the man's camp but couldn't find a brush.

With paper but no pen, the idle forest is filled with excitement but cannot record it. Why don’t he, who claims to be a literati, feel a little regretful? He had to sigh sadly and put the scroll back into its original place with great importance. This dilemma will not last too long, and there is no brush to make it by himself. He is already a big man who calls the wind and rain, or the only cultural person on the island, and he always has to leave referenced words for future generations. Otherwise, a hundred years later, how many people will remember him, this old man?

After returning to the house, Xianlin's excitement gradually calmed down, and he suddenly felt a sense of fatigue. He was old and had been on the raft for most of the day and ran a long way, and his body was in a state of overdrawn. He was so tired that he had to rest. He forced himself to lie down on the hammock, and soon he fell asleep.

When he woke up, the room was pitch black. He wanted to sit up, but he frowned in pain as soon as he moved. The adverse consequences of excessive exercise became more obvious after resting. Xianlin felt that his waist, back, legs and feet were sore everywhere. But he still struggled to get out of the hammock and limped out.

The situation outside surprised him. A bonfire was burning on the river beach not far from the left, but there were only a few figures. The large army that was supposed to arrive did not even have a shadow.

Where is the person? Xianlin suddenly became anxious. It was time for them to come. He asked the black face and the big man to come over and ask, and both of them said they had not received any news.

He was so angry that he cursed: "It's really hard to take a big responsibility for this Li Hu. I've told me how many times I've told him that he would still make trouble for me." After that, he walked anxiously in front of the house. The black-faced man was also helpless and did not dare to leave without instructions, so he could only stand with him and be anxious.

After waiting for half an hour, there was still no news. Xianlin felt a vague premonition in his heart. Just as he wanted to curse the red-haired man who was not good at doing things, the black-faced suddenly reached out and pointed forward. "There is that!"

Following his arm, there were indeed a few light spots flashing in the sky. These dim light spots were very inconspicuous under the starlight in the sky. Only by looking carefully can you tell that it was a fire.

Finally, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. But this relaxation did not last long. When the fire approached, Xianlin changed color again. He didn't even care about the soreness of his body and rushed over to meet the leading red-haired man. "Where are people? Why are these people?" No wonder Xianlin was angry. The team brought by the red-haired man included him and he would only have ten, four adults and six children. Two boys were missing, and no woman was seen.

Li Hu was also speechless. He looked at the bonfire behind Xianlin without giving up, and then he gave up the chance. He asked hesitantly: "They... haven't arrived yet?"

"Nonsense! I'll ask you where you are? Don't tell me it's useless." Xian Lin raised his foot irritably and kicked him hard in the thigh.

Li Hu knew that he had made a big mistake and didn't dare to hide, so he took this kick. After a long time of delay, he replied helplessly: "We... are separated..."

"How did you get separated?" Xianlin didn't give him a chance to breathe, and continued to ask, his beard was so angry that he raised his face.

Li Hu is still confused and replied in a slight manner: "In a blink of an eye, the person will disappear."

"Oh? If the person is gone, don't you tell me to look for it?"

"I've searched, searched all over the mountains and fields. Otherwise, it wouldn't be delayed so late." The red-haired man replied with a bitter face. He secretly observed Xianlin's expression and tried to defend himself: "They are just lost. Maybe they will be found tomorrow. The food is all here. Where can they go?"

Xianlin became even more angry when he heard what he said. "I don't care where they go, in short, don't think about being idle. Get back and find me. Don't come back if you can't find you."

Li Hu still wanted to beg, but Xianlin didn't give him a chance to speak, and shouted loudly: "Get out!" He pointed his finger firmly behind him.

Li Hu had no choice but to turn around in shame and rub it slowly after a few steps.

After the idle forest was blown away, the fire was spread on the other three men who came together. "What do you think you have made a contribution? Why are you still standing stupidly? Let me go back to find it. The same goes for you. If you can't find it, don't come back."

These three men kept standing in a crowd of people with their heads shrank their heads, but they didn't expect to be affected by the fish. Look at me and I look at you, and I know that you can no longer anger Xianlin at this moment. I had to turn around and walk back, and soon caught up with Li Hu.

Until the four of them walked far away, Xianlin was still standing there staring with his eyes. It seemed that he would not stop until he could not see it. Without his instructions, the six boys who came together could only stand in a timid manner, not daring to move. In the end, the big man who came with them twitched the bullet and comforted him. "The elders calm down. The food is right, and they may be really lost."
