In the team surrounding Mount Lu, the hunting dogs led the way in front, while the people followed behind with guns equipped with scopes. In addition to the hot air balloons driven by skilled pilots, there were also Shui Yun's family of thirteen eagles.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan coaxed Pan 'er and her sister to sleep, then brought Xiao Bei and the other slightly older kids to join the search.
Just as Shui Yun wanted to raise her children, they also wanted to raise their younger siblings. Xiao Bei and the others were already old enough, so other than swimming, they should participate in more physical training programs.
Zhang Xiaobao even wanted to do wilderness survival training for his younger siblings like he did in the past. The children in Thailand could already practice Taijiquan at this age. The speed of their punches was not slower than an ordinary adult's, and their resistance to attacks was stronger than that of a middle school student.
If they were older, in a small country that had never stopped fighting, they would be able to use guns to kill people. It was normal for an eleven or twelve-year-old child to carry a rocket launcher.
Xiao Bei's nine children were also sensible. After the elder brother and elder sister talked about physical strength and endurance, each of them carried their own military backpacks, controlled their breathing, adjusted their pace, and remained silent. They followed behind their elder brother and elder sister without saying a word.
They had seen the training of their family's guards, especially the guards that were specially trained for them. Those who did not follow the instructions at the beginning would not be able to last until the end. Only a small number of people were truly physically strong. From the beginning to the end of the training, they maintained a relaxed appearance and even had the mood to joke.
This group of people would be singled out to undergo more rigorous training programs.
"Never relax until the critical moment of life and death. Never waste your physical strength. That is disrespectful to life. Even if it's not for yourself, you have to do it for the people who care about you."
Zhang Xiaobao coordinated with his younger siblings' speed, appearing very leisurely as he talked to his younger siblings while walking.
Wang Juan also taught, "Don't be too nervous. That will increase the consumption of your physical strength. It's not good to deliberately relax. You still don't know how to maintain your mental state. When your body is constantly being hinted at to relax, your mental state will also follow suit. When you need to be nervous, you will realize that you can no longer be nervous.
Don't treat the backpack as a burden. When you walk, learn to feel the weight of the backpack and adapt to the rhythm. When you see a small pit in front of you, you are not allowed to jump. Take two more steps to go around it. The action of jumping up will consume several times your physical strength. "
The nine children listened but did not ask. They had strongly requested to come along. Before they came, they had agreed that it was not time to rest. Other than the sound of their breathing, they were not allowed to say a single word. Otherwise, they would not play with them next time.
Of course, they didn't carry guns, bullets, or grenades in their backpacks. Instead, they carried their clothes and all kinds of food.
The other tools were carried by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The two of them did not carry too many things. Each of them only carried a gun, 50 rounds of bullets, and the best single-edged sawtooth knife made by Tang Dynasty's technology.
These were the only weapons they had. The rest were a tent that could be assembled, a few pots and pans, as well as spices and rice. The two of them did not intend to let their younger brother and sister live like orphans who were abandoned in the wild.
It was not that they could not train to eat raw food, but it could not be done in Mount Lu. Who could guarantee that there were no parasites or powerful bacteria in the food they randomly found?
The two of them usually cooked raw food for their younger siblings to eat, such as sashimi, raw beef, raw venison, oysters, grasshoppers, maggots that had been specially bred after several generations, as well as green worms that had not yet turned into cocoons.
Zhang Xiaobao would ask the people in the medical school to help take a look. With the current technology, when there were no problems, they would feed their younger siblings with various supplementary seasonings.
Wang Juan also cooperated with Zhang Xiaobao and set an example for their younger siblings. The two of them fed their younger siblings while telling them stories. After all, children were children. They could not be too cruel.
When Wang Juan was undergoing training, no one told her any stories. She ate for the sake of strength. Needless to say, Zhang Xiaobao also had no one to tell him a story. He ate for the sake of living.
Just like that, from dawn until noon, Xiaobei and the others did not have time to rest at all. They walked for four hours.
If it were an ordinary adult, they would have been tired by now. However, the nine children still had strength.
This was also why Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan worked hard to train themselves when they were young. Children's bodies recovered very quickly. Even if they slowed down for a while, a child's recovery speed was several times faster than an adult's.
"Rest here." Zhang Xiaobao was afraid that his younger siblings would get dehydrated. Seeing that there was no fog above them and the sun was shining directly from above, he said to his younger siblings.
The nine children stopped and looked at their brother and sister. No one sat down, and no one complained. Instead, they were very excited.
They followed their brother and sister to a place where a small river flowed. They found a big tree and put down their backpacks. When they stood there and looked around curiously, Xiaobei said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Brother, can you teach me how to catch snakes?"
She saw that along the way, whenever her brother found a snake, he would catch one at a time. Up until now, he had caught a total of six snakes. The longest one was 1.5 meters. It looked very scary. Many snakes were also sent flying by her brother's spear.
This was the first time she saw her brother catch snakes personally. Although she had already determined that there was nothing that her brother and sister could not do, she still felt that it was strange.
"Okay, when we go back, I'll find some snakes for you to catch." Zhang Xiaobao agreed very quickly. He took out the folding multi-purpose bucket and stretched it to the river to get water.
"What if it gets bitten?" Wang Juan took the snake and began to clean it up. She could not stand Zhang Xiaobao's pampering.
Zhang Xiaobao did not think much of it and put the bucket in the water. Weiwei moved and filled half the bucket with water. He said, "We're not asking them to catch pythons. They're just ordinary grass snakes. Just pull out the teeth and catch them casually. There's no need to be afraid of poison or bitten."
"It's fishy and sticky. We're forcing them to learn this." Wang Juan was still dissatisfied.
"What's wrong with learning this? It's not against reason and there's no danger. Have you seen children catch scorpions in Hebei Province? In the countryside of Hebei Province, children of five or six years old can catch scorpions and small geckos with their hands. They put the scorpions in a cloth bag and give it to the older children to sell in the pharmacy. The money they earn in a day is enough to buy a set of clothes from the street stall. This is the harvest after being exploited several times. "
Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan. He had seen children catch scorpions very dexterously. It was not that the children did not have food and clothes. It was a tradition that had been passed down for many years. After the children came back from kindergarten, they would go out to play after eating. When they saw other older children catching scorpions, they would follow suit.
The adults did not care. Sometimes they would be accidentally stung, but it was not fatal at all. It was not much different from being stung by a bee. It was just a big swelling. They would cry and go home. They would be slapped and scolded. The next time they could not help but catch them again.
Wang Juan seemed to know this kind of thing. When she thought about it, she could not help but smile. She threw the cleaned snake to Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "How do you eat it? You catch the snake and you cook it. Who eats the snake gall? "
"Me ~." The nine children shouted together. Even Xiaohai was the same. Although he usually did not like to talk, it depended on who he was with. When he was with his brothers and sisters, he immediately became like other children. There was no silence and depth at all. It was because he always compared others with his brothers and sisters that he usually looked down on others.
Zhang Xiaobao saw that there were only six snakes and six gallbladders. He didn't see any of them with two gallbladders. He quickly said, "All of them, all of them. I'll make snake gallbladder wine for you. Each of you will have a small cup and divide it into eleven portions, okay?"
"Okay ~!" The nine children replied in a dragged voice.
"Brother, is the snake meat roasted?" Xiaobei licked her lips and asked. She usually did not lack food, but now the environment in the wild was different.
"I don't feel at ease if it is stewed or roasted. There are bacteria in it. When we go back, I will give you injections. I will shoot a rabbit for you. Watch carefully." As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he put down the other things, picked up the gun, and moved quickly horizontally. Suddenly, he stopped and aimed at the side of a tree on the mountain. With a bang, he fired a bullet.
"Ah ~ ~ ~!" A scream gave a response to the gunshot.
The nine children were preparing to see something strange. When they heard the movement, they were stunned and almost shouted at the same time. Then, they hugged their heads and lay on the ground.
At this time, Wang Juan also picked up the gun. She squatted on the ground and did not move.
"Oh, I missed again. Brother, come out. Tell me, are you a rabbit? Don't think that I can't hit you behind the tree. I will count to three. If you don't say it, I will throw a grenade. "
Zhang Xiaobao did not deliberately aim at the place where he just shot. He said in a relaxed tone, "One, two …"
"I am a rabbit. Don't shoot. I am a rabbit." A voice came from the place where he was shot. Following the voice, a person raised one hand and covered his leg with the other. He grinned and showed himself.
Wang Juan was amused. "Xiao Bao, you are such a bully. How can you let someone pretend to be a rabbit? Hey, rabbit, let me ask you. Where are you hiding? There are still a few people in your nest. Don't think blindly. You think that the two of us and a group of children can't take care of you? Where are the other two rabbits? Come out. Don't make me shoot. "
With two bangs, Zhang Xiaobao fired again. After he was done, he said to Wang Juan, "This time, I really missed. One of them is probably going to die. The other one is okay. His shoulder is injured, so he can't shoot the crossbow. If he dares to try to shoot with one hand, I will blow his head off."
Hearing the two of them and hearing the gunshots, the first person who turned into a rabbit turned his head and looked 20 meters away. He sighed helplessly and shouted in that direction, "Come out. They are Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Don't expect to escape."
"Yo ~ ~! We met a smart person. When did you confirm it? " When Wang Juan said "you guys", she had already expressed clearly that they were not alone.
"When you guys were talking and shooting, I didn't think about the identities of two people who are not even 20 years old and brought a group of children. When you guys were talking, I was already suspicious. When I fired, everything was clear. I am a rabbit."
This person was considered a man. He was the kind that was very straightforward. Even though he was caught, he still maintained a relatively calm state. When he spoke, his voice did not tremble. His psychological quality was good.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person appeared at the spot where Zhang Xiaobao had just finished off two shots. One of his arms was hanging down, and one of his hands was grabbing a person by the collar. He dragged the person who had already lost his life out of the crowd.
With resentment and fear in his eyes, he looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Then, he shifted his gaze to the nine children lying on the ground.
"Don't have any ideas about the children. Otherwise, I will kill you right now. Raise your hands and bite the clothes of the dead person with your teeth. Come here."
When Zhang Xiaobao saw that the other person was looking at his younger siblings, his tone was indifferent.
That person suddenly trembled. He immediately did as Zhang Xiaobao said. He raised one hand and the other arm as high as he could. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not raise it to the right position. He bit the clothes of the dead person with his teeth and slowly walked over while wading through the grass.
Of the three people, one was dead and two were injured. They did not have any conspicuous weapons on them. When they came to a place about ten meters away from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.
After the sudden incident just now, the nine children waited for a while. When they knew that they were safe, they got up one after another and patted the dust off their bodies. One by one, they took out small pistols from their arms and pointed them at the two people who were still alive.
"Let me tell you two rabbits, don't think that just because we are small, you can have any ideas about us. If I shoot a few more times, I will still kill you. Tell me, what kind of rabbits are you? Where are you hiding? "
Xiao Bei held her small pistol with both hands and pointed at one of the people opposite her.
The other eight also pointed their guns at each other, looking as if they could pull the trigger at any time. They had this confidence. Although their guns had little recoil and could not kill people if they did not hit a fatal position, they were still not worried.
They were very confident in their accuracy. It was just shooting. Without talent or experience? No matter how stupid a person was, after practicing with a few thousand bullets, their accuracy would be improved, not to mention a pistol with little recoil.
They were confident that if the two people did not use other long-range weapons, they would be able to kill each other when they rushed in front of them.
"Don't shoot." The first person was scared. He could calmly face Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but he could not face the nine children with the same calmness. This was because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan basically would not kill him immediately. However, the children were not necessarily so. What if they were happy and opened fire?
"I am a gray rabbit, he is a white rabbit. The one who died is a mixed rabbit. Our nest is in the mountains." The man helplessly and sadly answered Xiao Bei's question.
