Chapter 215: Alone Against the Mountain Leopard
Lin Kunlun stood at the entrance of Qinghe Village, facing 25 newly recruited young men, his eyes were firm and full of determination. Some of these young people still looked immature, while others had already revealed a resolute look. They came from different families, but they all had one thing in common - there was extra labor in their families, or they did not have too much family burden.
"Everyone, I know you may have questions in your hearts as to why I chose you to leave your homeland at this time." Lin Kunlun's voice was particularly clear in the morning breeze. "But please believe that I am not acting rashly. I chose you because you have more possibilities and more freedom to pursue your own future."
He paused and continued, "In this chaotic world, each of us longs to have a piece of sky that belongs to us and to have achievements that belong to us. I know that many of you may have never left this mountain village and are full of curiosity and yearning for the outside world. I am the same. But now, the opportunity has come. I will take you out of this land and see the great Kun Dynasty and the beautiful mountains and rivers."
"But please remember, we are not leaving to escape, but for a better life. We will use our own hands to create our own future. We will face challenges and difficulties, but as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward."
The twenty-five young men looked at each other in bewilderment. They were moved by Lin Kunlun's words, and an unprecedented excitement and pride surged in their hearts. They knew that this would be an extraordinary road, but they were willing to follow Lin Kunlun and pursue their dream together.
"Okay! We'll follow you!" a young man shouted first, his voice full of determination and courage.
"Yes! We will follow you!" Others echoed one after another, and their voices echoed in the mountains in the early morning, as if heralding the beginning of a new legend.
When Lin Kunlun came, he rode alone on a horse. When he left, there were so many more people, so of course it would take a few more days.
He could only ride his black electric bike and travel with these people.
"Dad! Your horse is really tall! It's much bigger than those fruit horses in the southwest." Lin Shi looked at the horse with envy!
"This should be produced in the north! The horses in the southwest are relatively short! The most important reason is that there are many mountains in the southwest! Those horses survive in such an environment! They are adapted to finding food under trees! So they are not that tall! However, due to a lot of mountain climbing, these horses have better endurance and are actually very suitable for transporting food and grass!" Lin Kunlun smiled and asked Lin Shi to try to learn to ride.
"Come and give it a try. It will be much more convenient once you learn how to ride a horse!"
Lin Shi looked at Heidian with envy and desire in his eyes. He was eager to try and experience the fun of riding a horse. Seeing this, Lin Kunlun smiled and encouraged him to try. Under Lin Kunlun's patient guidance, Lin Shi clumsily climbed onto the horse's back, holding the saddle tightly with both hands, and his legs trembling as he tried to keep his balance.
At first, Heidian didn't let him go. But Lin Kunlun and Lin Shi took the food and water he took out from the space. Soon, Heidian accepted him and allowed him to sit on his back.
"Relax, don't be nervous. Let the horse feel your trust, and it will become your partner." Lin Kunlun's voice was gentle and powerful, making Lin Shi gradually relax.
As time went by, Lin Shi began to gradually master the skills of riding a horse. He learned how to communicate with the horse and how to control the horse's pace. Whenever he rode on the road on his black electric bike, he would attract envious glances.
Lin Kunlun was very pleased to see the changes in Lin Shi. He knew that these young people would be his important partners in the future. They would face challenges together and create their own legends together.
In this way, a strange team began to move towards the direction of Lengshui County. If Lin Haoyue rode a horse alone, it would take two days to reach this distance. But now they had to walk completely, so it would take at least 4 to 5 days.
Along the way, these people saw empty villages. Or those villagers who had just returned from outside were starving to death. And those who stayed in the village had despair in their eyes. It was obvious that the food that the government promised to distribute to them when they returned to their hometowns was gone.
"Dad! What will happen to these people in the end!" Lin Shi couldn't help but ask Lin Kunlun when he saw these people on the road.
"People decide their own destiny! If we stay in the village, we will starve to death sooner or later! Now we are on the road of resistance! Since these corrupt officials don't treat us as human beings, we have to find a way to show them that we ordinary people are not at their mercy!" Lin Kunlun deliberately spoke loudly so that the 25 people following him could hear.
At this moment! The white fox that Lin Shizheng was carrying on his back in a cloth bag suddenly cried out in anxiety! The white fox squeaked very fiercely. Lin Kunlun knew that the white fox was very smart and would not cry like that. It must have discovered some danger.
"What's wrong with Xiaobai? Is there any danger ahead?" Lin Kunlun took the white fox down from behind Snacks. As soon as the white fox landed on the ground, it screamed desperately towards the front.
"It seems there is danger ahead! It seems there is danger ahead!" Lin Kunlun comforted the white fox. He didn't know what danger was ahead, but such a cry might alert the people or animals ahead.
"Everyone be careful, there may be danger ahead! Let's get our weapons and be prepared!" Lin Kunlun found his horse and took out five or six knives. After all, the journey was not peaceful. He distributed the five or six knives to everyone. Some people already had machetes in their hands. After all, in such a world, you can't go out without something to protect yourself!
At this time, everyone looked ahead vigilantly. There was a forest ahead. The path they were walking on went through the forest. You should know that in the mountains in the southwest, there are not only bandits and the like, but also many wild animals. For example, tigers and leopard cats. Some people have even seen blind bears. In fact, this is also normal. In ancient times, the population ratio was very small. People lived in a very small area, most of which were primitive jungles. Wild animals are naturally much more than now. Sometimes a few tigers entered a village. It is all very normal. In the Dakun Dynasty, there was a long period of time. Local governments issued orders to reward tigers. If you kill a tiger, you can go to the government to receive the reward.
At this time, although everyone didn't know whether the white fox's sensing was accurate, they all looked ahead very nervously. Lin Kunlun also held a machete. Heidian, who was standing next to him, was also crawling on the ground with his hooves. Obviously, he also felt the existence of some danger.
Just when everyone was very nervous! A leopard suddenly rushed out of the woods in front! The leopard looked very fierce. This kind of leopard was smaller than ordinary cheetahs and had sharp claws. It saw that the people around were all humans and immediately pounced on them fiercely. Under normal circumstances, this kind of leopard would not attack humans. But now it is obviously very difficult to find prey and water during the drought. So these wild animals began to approach the gathering of humans. In this way, these meat-eating animals are also likely to conflict with humans.
"Be careful!" Lin Kunlun immediately threw the white fox aside and raised his knife to block the leopard's attack.
The leopard's teeth were very sharp, and the sharp fangs almost bit off his hand. Since he drank the spring water in the space and ate the food grown in it, his body's reaction and strength were far beyond that of ordinary people. So when the leopard bit down, the knife in his hand went directly into the leopard's mouth.
"Roar!" The leopard roared in pain, but it had no way to break free because Lin Kunlun was incredibly strong.
The leopard's struggle became weaker and weaker until it finally stopped. Lin Kunlun held the leopard with one hand. Without any hesitation, Lin Kunlun directly inserted the knife into the leopard's abdomen.
Blood gushed out! The bright red wound instantly dyed the leopard's hair red. The leopard fell to the ground and twitched in pain.
This scene scared everyone around! That was a mountain leopard! He actually killed it. And he killed it with just one knife! Such a huge mountain leopard! Although it is not as big as those tigers and cheetahs, it is a hunter that travels in the mountains or is a specialty of the southwest. This thing is very fast, and it is difficult for ordinary lovers to deal with it.
Lin Shi and others watched all this in shock!
"Brother Kunlun is so awesome!" Only then did the twenty or so villagers who followed him react. Usually when they encountered such a thing, everyone was from the same village, and dozens of people worked together to drive it away. Even if they killed it, they would use traps or something like that. This thing is too flexible. And its ability to jump and climb trees is far superior to that of humans. It can even jump directly over the heads of humans. I didn't expect Lin Kunlun to be so awesome that he killed it with just one knife. In fact, Lin Kunlun was a little scared, although he had experienced several battles. As the main planner of that team, he was more often standing in the back to command. When he was really asked to kill someone, he didn't do it. Although he can now watch the fighting on the battlefield very calmly. But this was the first time he faced such a beast. He was still a little scared.
"Okay, this leopard will be our food tonight! Let's set up camp here and take a rest!" Lin Kunlun saw that the sky was gradually getting dark. He decided to set up camp here. He put his hands behind his back so that no one could see that his hands were shaking constantly. His heart was beating very fast now.
