We persisted on the branches until dawn, maybe it was dawn very early, just because we couldn't see it in the forest.

There was no one under the tree, and they left. Shunwa and the mysterious old man opened the wolf clamp, and the unlucky man pulled out his bloody legs and limped away.

We slipped down from the tree and saw a ray of sunlight passing through countless leaves shining on the clearings in the forest. We all had a joy of surviving the disaster.

We walked into the depths of the forest.

There are various animals such as wolf, insect, tiger, and leopard deep in the forest, but humans are the most ferocious animals in the world.

We walked in the forest for a long time and saw the sun shining straight above our heads. We knew it was noon. It was calm for so long that they probably had left long ago.

There is a stream in front of me, and the water flows down from the springs on the top of the mountain. Bingliuzi said that as long as you walk down the stream, you can find someone. Because people in the mountains and forests live along the stream. Although Bingliuzi is not much older than me, his experience in the martial arts and life experience is much richer than mine.

I believe in him.

However, we didn't go far, but we met Shunwa and the mysterious old man holding a knife. They also knew that we would walk down the stream, so we waited by the stream.

Everyone is an old world, and no one can deceive anyone.

We found them, and they found us. We turned and ran away, and they chased after us.

Although the mysterious old man is the oldest, he has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time and is extremely agile. He chases Shunwa. We dare not run along the stream, as we will not be caught up by the mysterious old man in a long time. We ran into the forest, hoping to get rid of their pursuit.

We ran aimlessly in the forest, panting, thinking we had gotten rid of them, but when we looked back, they were chasing them from afar. The layers of fallen leaves under the trees exposed our whereabouts. After we ran, the fallen leaves would be kicked into chaos.

Run down a slope, turn a corner, and there is another slope under our feet. We suddenly see a honeycomb as big as a washbasin on the branches of a big tree. Countless golden hornets, like clouds with gold edges, buzzing and flying above our heads. That kind of scene, when you look at it, you will make you scalp

Trepid.

Bingliuzi said: "There is a good idea."

I gasped and asked, "What's the best way?"

Bingliuzi said: "There is a honeycomb on the big tree and a small tree beside the big tree. Bend the small tree and wait until they chase after it and let go of the small tree, and they will hit the hornet's nest of the big tree."

This is a good idea. Big and small trees originally grew with the same roots. The roots of the big trees were exposed on the ground and a small tree was born. When the small trees bend, they would become a bow and arrow full of strength.

I carefully climbed onto the small tree, and the hornets were flying in front of my eyes. I pressed down and the tree body slowly bent down. The ice sliver grabbed the treetops, and we wrapped our heads and faces in clothes, hiding in the grass.

The mysterious old man and Shunwa chased after him. They panted and sweat beads flowed down their faces. As soon as we let go, the little tree suddenly bent over and knocked down the hornet's nest as big as a washbasin on the big tree.

The hornet's nest sound fell to the ground in a dull voice, splashing countless hornets. The hornets were flying over their heads in a dark way, and the sky suddenly darkened. We rolled down the hillside, and heart-wrenching howls came from the top of the slope. Countless hornets regarded the mysterious old man and Shunwa as the targets of venting, and their bodies instantly

Double the increase.

We walked in the forest until afternoon before finally getting out.

There is a village outside the forest. I want to go into the village to ask for some food. Bingliuzi said, "Don't go in easily, maybe this is a bandit village." Bandit village is where bandits live. Such villages are far away from the crowds, and the whole village here is bandits. If you walk into a bandit village, you will fall into the trap.

We observed for a long time and saw that there was no one in the village. I suddenly thought of the village I had been in the circus. The village was full of dead people and chickens, and I almost couldn't get out of that village. The village was plague.

There was no one in the village, and I felt scared.

I said, "Go away now."

Bingliuzi said, "Don't worry, look."

Following his fingers, I saw a chicken walking in front of me. Bingliuzi said, "This chicken is our supper."

I was so excited that when the chicken was far away from the village, it suddenly ran out and cut off its retreat. Then, we went to catch the chicken together. However, the chickens in the mountain village were very smart. They had also trained their agile skills since childhood. They always ran away when they were in a hurry.

We were so tired that we were panting, and the chicken stood in the distance, clattering as if mocking us.

Suddenly, I remembered the past when I was a child when I was a child. We tied the corn kernels with thin threads, placed them at the entrance of the village, and hid them aside. The chicken only saw the corn kernels, but could not see the thin threads. He swallowed the corn kernels in one bite. We pulled the thin threads in the jungle, and the chicken had to follow them. The chickens were always swallowed and could not chew.

However, there is no corn here.

I saw a spider web under the tree and suddenly had an idea. I shook the spider web with a stick and saw a huge black spider hiding on the tree. I used the stick to shoot down the spider and pressed it with a stone. The spider struggled in vain under the stone.

I bit a gap in my clothes, then pulled out thin lines one by one from inside, connected them, tied spiders to one end and held the other in my hand.

I placed the spider on the road at the entrance of the village and hid behind the tree.

I pulled out a few of the spider's legs. It crawled with its remaining incomplete legs, but it couldn't crawl quickly.

This huge black spider attracted the chicken. The chicken ran over briskly and swallowed the spider in an instant. I tightened the thin line, and the chicken followed us and left the village.

Bingliuzi carried the seven matches he regarded as life. That night, we had a fragrant roasted chicken.

We don't know what this place is. We want to ask people, but we are worried that this is a bandit village. In fact, this may be a bandit village, because we stood on the hills and looked into the distance, and we could never see a village again; we waited for a long time, but we didn't see anyone walking out.

Also, in order to avoid bandits, farmers always dug a deep cave on the cliff. Whenever bandits came to loot, the farmers carried their food, climbed up the ladder, fled to the cave on the cliff, and then pulled away the ladder. The bandits had no choice but to do anything about the cliffs around this village.

A cave. Without such a cave, it only means that they don’t need to hide. If they don’t need to hide, they must be bandits.

The bandits were predecessors of farmers, and they also helped the farmer to raise chickens and ducks. Therefore, it was not surprising that a chicken appeared in the bandit village.

We chose to leave.

We walk along the ridge and stand on the ridge to see a further place; if we walk along the valley, we may go around in circles. If we keep going around in circles, we may be exhausted and starved.

The ridges are undulating and the roads are bumpy. Some places are full of gravel, while others have big stones as the road. In fact, there are no roads on the ridges because no one has ever come to these places. Some birds that we have never seen before jump around us, some as big as a bucket, and some as small as a fist.

The sun rose. When we woke up in the morning, we faced the sun, with the east in front, the west in the back, the north in the left, and the south in the right. In the private school, the teacher told us this. When we walked south, we would walk to Baoxing County. We chose to go north, and the farther we were from Baoxing County, the better.

Standing on the ridge, we can clearly look at the forest on the mountainside and the bird nests on the branches. At that time, the leaves had begun to fall and the crowns became sparse. Looking around, as long as we see where the branches are dense and condensed into a cluster, it must be the bird nest. We climbed up the trunk, found the bird eggs from it, and lit them. Going up the trees and plucking the bird nests was a compulsory course for every country child in that era.

Bird eggs and bird eggs have different sizes, and the bird eggs have different tastes. The turtledove eggs are a bit salty, the magpies are a bit sour, and the mountain eggs and quail eggs have the best taste. During those days, we ate all kinds of bird eggs every day, burping, and even the breath they exhaled was smelling of bird droppings.

I remembered that when I escaped from the Dabie Mountains that year, I walked in a valley. Why was I so stupid at that time? I ate scorpion spiders raw? Why didn’t I think I could walk along the ridge. I was so happy to walk along the ridge. Not only was I not afraid of getting lost, but I also had endless bird eggs.

At night, we were worried that wild animals would attack us, so we slept on the tree branches. Looking at the stars in the sky, looking at the Milky Way lying in the sky, telling stories related to the starry sky, such as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Chang'e flying to the moon, and the Bingliuzi's story was boring, and his ears had long heard calluses.

Bingliuzi said, "We wanted to steal that wealthy family, so we sent me into the undercover agent, sit in their small worker, sweep the floor, and feed the horses. The owner thought I didn't understand that, so he asked me to pour a piping pot for his wife every morning. Sometimes, when I poured the piping pot, his thighs were exposed outside the quilt. The thighs were so white, even whiter than lotus roots. Once, I thought she was asleep, so I went up and sneaked up. Unexpectedly, she was awake and smiled at me. I rushed over and said, "No, I can leave a door for me tonight."

I sucked and asked, "You're going tonight?"

Bingliuzi said: "Of course."

I asked, "How does it taste?"

Bingliuzi said: "It tastes great."

I asked, "Didn't you steal that family?"

Bingliuzi said, "How can I not steal? I felt comfortable with that little wife. She said whatever she asked her, and she told me all the money she had hidden in her house. In fact, that's the case for women. As long as she felt comfortable, she would do whatever she asked her to do."

I asked, "What happened later?"

Bingliuzi said: "Later, I came out with that woman, and we brought all the money from her family."

I was so angry that I was so angry that I laughed.

While I was laughing, a howl suddenly sounded under the tree. We looked down and saw a wolf opening his mouth wide in the bright moonlight. We didn't know at all when the wolf came to the tree. The wolf's actions were extremely mysterious. Even in the jungle full of dead leaves, the wolf's footsteps were silent.

I know that the wolf is summoning the pack of wolves, and they want to use us as dinner. Fortunately, we climbed on the tree.

Sure enough, the skill was not great, and more than a dozen black shadows came from afar, and they ran to the tree in a flash. We were so scared that we didn't dare to speak again.

The wolves wandered downwards, but they were helpless. The wolves could not climb trees, and we were unwilling to go down trees. Although they were only a few meters away, these few meters away ensured our safety.

Later, the wolves left. Under the moonlight, I saw them running far and far away. Under the moonlight, there were only the sound of insects that were ringing one after another.

Seeing that there was no movement under the tree, Bingliuzi said, "Let's go, there are wolves here, let's leave here quickly."

I said, "Don't leave, this is the safest place. The wolf is playing tricks for us."

The wolf is indeed making tricks for us. Under the moonlight, I saw a pair of eyes in the grass, looking at us all the time. It was a wolf lying in the dark. Among all animals, wolves belong to the most cunning type. Wolves are not big in size and do not run fast. They are not on the same level as tigers and leopards, but they can survive from ancient times to the present, but have not become extinct, but have become more and more numerous. Its cunning plays a great role.

The village where I lived when I was a child often had wolves. People there knew wolves, just like they knew their own livestock. When the wolves were helpless, they would take the initiative to show weakness or pretend to escape. If you believe it, you would be in trouble. Someone in our village was rushing to the night and encountered a wolf blocking the way. He confronted the wolf for a long time, and then the wolf left. He thought there was no danger, so he continued to rush, but he unexpectedly turned around and attacked behind him, and was bitten by the wolf.

That night, we didn't sleep all night. After dawn, the birds sang and the sun shone, and the wolf ambushed in the grass left reluctantly. I saw it running away with a slash, and it could even see its ribs on its empty belly.

Wolves generally do not attack people on their own initiative, only hungry wolves can do it. When they encounter ferocious animals to attack, escaping is the best choice. A Russian writer named Tolstoy wrote a fable that two friends met a bear in the valley, one climbed a tree and the other lying on the ground to pretend to be dead. The bear smelled it in the ears of the friend who pretended to be dead, and then left. When the friend on the tree came down, he asked, "What did the bear say to you?" The friend who pretended to be dead said, "The bear told me that people who only care about escape are not to be handed over when they encounter danger." This story conveys a wrong message to people: It is wrong for beasts to eat dead people. If someone pretends to be dead, the beast will definitely swallow it in one bite.

After the hungry wolf left, we slid down the tree trunk and continued on our way.

After walking two or three miles, I accidentally looked back and suddenly saw a group of wolves chasing after them on the hill behind me.

I shouted to Bingliuzi, "Run to the high place."

We spread our feet and ran to the opposite hill. I was born in the countryside and knew that I had encountered wolves. I must not run downhill, but only go uphill. Wolves jumped on the flat ground, which is three feet. If they ran downhill, they could reach one meter. However, wolves had short four hooves and were running uphill, which would be difficult, at most one or two feet. People's legs were much longer than wolves, and they would be faster than wolves.

We ran to the middle of the mountain and saw a cave, so we hurriedly got into it. The cave was narrow and could only allow one person to pass. We ran panting while pushing down the rocks on both sides to prevent the wolf from passing.

The cave was not long, only a few dozen feet long. We ran out of the cave and heard the howls of wolves from the cave. The sound was circling around the cave, which seemed dull and terrifying. The exit of the cave was a slope, and we ran down the slope, because we were too fast, and we rolled down the valley.

We got up and saw that the wolves had run out of the cave. They lined up at the entrance of the cave, but did not chase down the mountain. We were still shocked and didn't know why this happened. Suddenly, we looked up and saw a group of people standing on the cliff opposite, and they raised their guns to aim at the wolf pack.

Suddenly, a gunshot sounded and the wolves at the entrance of the cave fled in panic.

We survive in a desperate situation.

The group of people on the cliff opposite were a group of escorts.

During the Ming, Qing and Republic of China, there were two richest provinces in China, one called Shanxi and the other called Anhui. The merchants in Shanxi were called Shanshang and the merchants in Anhui were called Huishang. They were all very famous in the history of Chinese business. At this time, Shanxi was rich. Shanxi merchants went to and from Huguang to do business, and needed escorts from escorts. Moreover, the wars were always in this area, and bandits were like Mao. Therefore, the number of people who took escorts in this area was usually around a hundred.

We followed the escort, crossed the Yellow River, and came to Shanxi.

Bingliuzi and I once wanted to follow the mate. We felt very proud when we watched them dance guns and sticks, but the mates said that we were already over the age of practicing martial arts, and our muscles and bones had already been long and could never be pulled apart. We were not the material for practicing martial arts.

The food and accommodation of the yard masters were provided by the owner, who was a thin middle-aged man. He was in a cloth business and sold foreign cloth from Huguang to Shanxi for sale. At that time, most people in the north wore their own home textile cloth, which was thick and hard, and the quality and texture were not as good as foreign cloth. Therefore, foreign cloth sold very well in the north. Foreign cloth was woven cloth.

The owner is doing big business, but he is very stingy. He can't do anything with us, but he is very dissatisfied with eating and drinking with the mate. He always shook us down, as if we had slept with his wife. Shanxi merchants are all Jiu Mao Jiu, and it is indeed well-founded.

We decided to leave.
