Qin Xiao hid behind the thorns and vines, and felt relieved after he was sure it was a group of hunters.

Just listening to what they said, it seemed that while hunting in the mountains, they encountered great troubles and even suffered casualties. The reason why the sheep boy was crying was because his father was seriously injured.

Uncle Han was obviously quite prestigious among this group of people, and he directed everyone to rescue the sheep baby's father. The injured man was in the most serious condition and could not stop the bleeding.

Qin Xiao naturally knew that these hunters relied on hunting for a living, so they would carry some medicine for injuries just in case.

But after all, they are all poor people, and there is no real precious medicine.

If it could help stop the bleeding, these people would definitely not be stingy with the medicines on them. Since they could not stop the bleeding, it only proves that the medicines on them really have no effect.

Saving people is like putting out a fire. You cannot delay. Once too much blood is lost, you may never wake up again.

Qin Xiao happened to have the golden sore medicine that Hongye had prepared for him. He also knew that such medicine must be extraordinary. Seeing that the injured person was in danger and that he was a poor hunter, he did not hesitate anymore. He stood up from behind the thorns and vines and took out the medicine.

Golden Sore Medicine, walked towards this group of hunters.

He suddenly appeared, and the hunters were a little surprised. Someone already asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"

Uncle Han also stood up, raised his hand and said: "Don't move." He walked forward, looked at it for a few times under the moonlight, and then asked Qin Xiao: "What did you just say?"

"I have medicine to stop bleeding." Qin Xiao handed the medicine over: "Some of you are injured, take it and try it. I'm not sure if it works."

"He's not a bad person." Uncle Han saw that although Qin Xiao was in rags, he was young, his tone was sincere, and he took the initiative to take out the medicine, so he was certainly not a bad person. He stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, kid."

It was important to save people at this time, so Uncle Han was not polite, took the bottle, and went over to apply medicine to the injured.

The other hunters gathered around. Qin Xiao thought of something and stepped forward: "By the way, did you bring wine?"

"You want to drink?" A hunter took off the wine bag from his waist and said, "There is some wine here. It's not good wine, so just make do with it."

"No." Qin Xiao said: "Before applying medicine to the wound, it is best to clean it with wine first, so as to avoid infection."

Uncle Han said: "My son is right, clean the wounds first and bring over any wine you have."

It took several people a moment to apply the golden sore medicine to the injured. Qin Xiao could see clearly from the side that the wound was on the abdomen. A large and deep wound was bloody and shocking, but the wound was obviously not caused by a knife or gun.

It's not like a beast biting me.

The wound was so big that a whole bottle of gold sore medicine was applied on it. Qin Xiao knew that saving lives was important and had no intention of giving up.

Qin Xiao's prediction was indeed correct. The golden sore medicine given by Hongye was really effective. In less than half a stick of incense after applying it, the blood in the wound had already coagulated, so that it could no longer continue to bleed out. The injured person

Wuzi was in a coma, unconscious.

But now that the bleeding has been stopped, there is hope of survival.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Han saw that there was no trace left in the golden sore medicine bottle. He was a little embarrassed and said to Qin Xiao: "My dear, we have used up all the medicine. Tell us how much money you need, and we will give it to you."

"

Qin Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, I picked it up too. It's good if it can save lives." At this time, Yangwa had already walked over. He was in his early twenties and had a strong body from the northwest. He knelt down in front of Qin Xiao.

He said gratefully: "Thank you for saving your life. I'll kowtow to you!" As he was about to kowtow, Qin Xiao hurriedly hugged him and said, "Don't do this." He picked up the sheep baby.

"Everyone, let's have a rest first." Uncle Han ordered: "The sheep's father has just applied medicine on his wound, so he can't move easily. Let's wait until daybreak." He also ordered people to collect firewood and lit a bonfire at the foot of the mountain.

The baby took care of his father, while the others ate dry food around the campfire.

Qin Xiao took out the wound medicine and saved the life of Yangba's father. The hunters did not dislike Qin Xiao for being a wandering beggar. Instead, they took good care of him. They took out dry food for Qin Xiao to eat first, and then cleaned the wound even though it was not used.

Although he had a little wine, he still had some leftover. Qin Xiao was not polite and took two sips, feeling indescribably comfortable all over his body.

"Baby, where are you from?" Uncle Han handed Qin Xiao a scone: "How did you get here?"

Qin Xiao had already prepared his words and said with a smile: "A few years ago, due to the plague, everyone in the village was wiped out. I was the only one left wandering around. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to survive until now."

"A lot of people died that year." Uncle Han sighed: "Last year there was another famine, and more and more people were begging for a living. But everyone had no food left, and it was not easy to beg."

"Uncle Han, did you encounter a wild beast on the mountain?" Qin Xiao took a bite of the sesame seed cake and asked, "Why was it hurt so badly?"

A person next to him said: "This is a good fortune teller. At least you can live. Four people in our village have died on the mountain. Well, no, there are no more six people today, and that bastard named Luo. Six people have died before and after this

."

Qin Xiao was surprised: "Six lives?" He looked at Uncle Han and said, "What on earth is going on?"

"Mandrill." Uncle Han said with a bitter smile: "There is a mandrill in the mountains. It is very ferocious. Look at Yangba's father. He was just kicked by the mandrill and flew far away, scratching his belly. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet him.

Shang Wazi, you have medicine to cure me, otherwise you will die here again."

Qin Xiao was even more surprised: "Is there a mandrill on the mountain?"

"In the past few months, people in the village have gone up the mountain from here to hunt deep in the mountains." Han Bo explained: "The mandrill was first discovered two months ago. There were six people in the group, and two of them fell into the mountains. A month ago,

Another person was killed. Half a month ago, Yangwa's cousin also died in the hands of a mandrill."

Qin Xiao couldn't help but said: "The mandrills are so ferocious. Why do you keep coming to this mountain range if you just change the place to hunt?"

A hunter next to him said angrily: "It's not just for two bear skins. In the past, there were rules for paying taxes. In total, the whole village only needs to pay thirty skins. Among them, two tiger skins are more difficult, but

We can make it together every year if we all work together. But starting from last year, the superiors asked us to hand over two more bear skins. This section of the mountain range is the only one with blind bears. Last year, we finally got a bear skin.

, the whole village still owes one skin, and the higher-ups have issued a message that if we cannot pay three skins this year, not only will our hunting rights be revoked, but the men in the village will also have to work in the mines for three years to deduct taxes."

When he said this, everyone else's faces showed anger, but then someone smiled bitterly and had no choice but to do anything.

Harsh government is fiercer than a bear!

Qin Xiao knew that the increase in taxes was nothing more than an increase in the Zhen family's exploitation of the people.

Two bear skins are worth a lot of money. For hunters who have problems with food and clothing, it is of course impossible to have the money to buy bear skins. The only way is to go hunting in the mountains and find the blind bear to get his skin.

Having hunted for a living all year round, of course he knew the situation on the mountain very well.

I know exactly where to hunt tigers and where to kill bears.

Although it is extremely dangerous to hunt bears in the mountains, compared to paying taxes, hunters can only go up the mountains to fight for their lives.

Uncle Han sighed: "If you can't hunt mandrills, it will be difficult to hunt bears in this mountainous area. To find a bear, it may take two or three months, but it may not be possible. In October, the skin will be turned in. We just have to

You can find a way to kill the mandrill first."

Uncle Han and others may not really want to tell Qin Xiao all the ins and outs of the matter, but in order to pay taxes and bet with their lives, it is inevitable that they will feel resentful and angry. There are another casualty tonight, and the pain in their hearts is nothing more than speaking out to relieve it.

Resentment in my heart.

"Then did you hurt the mandrill?" Qin Xiao asked.

"Bullshit." A hunter complained angrily: "We know that the mandrill is powerful. Walking in the mountains is like walking on flat ground. No matter how many people there are, they may not be able to hurt the mandrill. Let's discuss it and ask the Jianghu Rangers to help us.

I heard that those rangers are all very powerful in martial arts, and no matter how powerful the mandrill is, it is no match for the rangers. As long as we find the ranger and let him lead us to round up the mandrill, the mandrill will not survive."

Qin Xiaoxun thought that if there were really martial arts masters to help, plus a group of hunters, it would be really possible to hunt the mandrill.

"We arrived in the town and asked about rangers with strong martial arts skills. We met a few, but they were too high-minded to look down on us. They also said that their kung fu was not used to deal with livestock." The hunter said angrily: "We have been waiting.

After several days, we finally found a ranger named Luo. He looked strong and mighty, and he carried a big knife. He could lift a 200-pound stone pier with just one hand. We explained the reason and collected twenty taels.

As long as he can help us hunt mandrills, twenty taels of silver will belong to him."

"Of course he agreed." Qin Xiao said.

Uncle Han sighed: "We had high hopes for him. We just thought that if Luo Youxia took action, the mandrill would definitely die. When he arrived in our village, we entertained him with delicious food and drinks for two days. We also paid a deposit of ten taels of silver in advance. Yesterday

At noon, we set out to go up the mountain and went deep into the place where the mandrill appeared. We set up an ambush and waited for the mandrill to appear. It was not until noon today that the mandrill finally appeared. It was originally agreed upon by everyone that when the mandrill appeared, we would shoot with bows and arrows first.

If the ranger takes action again, as long as the mandrill is injured, everyone will swarm up and kill the mandrill with all their lives."

"What happened next?"

"Then?" the hunter on the side spat, "As soon as the mandrill came out, the man named Luo was so frightened that he pissed himself. Not only did he not dare to go up, he turned around and ran away. When the mandrill saw him, he easily caught up with the man surnamed Luo and caught him.

He took off one of his legs and threw him about ten times, beating him to death."

Qin Xiao was shocked, thinking to himself that the mandrill was really ferocious.

"Everyone saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly retreated. The mandrill came after him. The sheep's father used an iron fork to stab it, but it kicked him in the stomach and kicked him away." Uncle Han sighed: "My stomach was hit by a tree branch.

It was scratched, and the sheep kid carried his father and ran away. We shot the mandrill away with bows and arrows, and the mandrill rushed over and caught Liu Zi. Everyone knew that there was no way to rescue them, so they took the opportunity to retreat. Liu Zi fell into the hands of the mandrill, and we just
Chapter completed!
