Why is life outside the Great Wall so difficult?
One of the important reasons is that the winter is too long, unlike in the south where crops can be grown for two or even three seasons.
Farmers outside the Great Wall work for half a year and rest for half a year. There are not many opportunities to work and earn money. They have energy but nowhere to use it, so naturally everyone lives a tight life.
The snow on the mountains on the capital's side is a little thicker than that at the foot of the mountains, but the thickest part is only ankle-deep, and it is not waist-deep like outside the Great Wall.
The mountains and forests on the capital's side were like flat ground for Boss Ye, so he quickly got ahead of everyone else.
Seeing this, Mu Zheng could only silently quicken his pace and try to keep up.
Boss Ye is good at bows and arrows, which are long-range attacks, so he needs someone to help him restrain the prey.
If he suddenly encountered a ferocious beast and was unable to maintain distance to shoot his arrows, he would be in great danger.
The team led by Mu Zheng had been traveling quickly in the afternoon, so the distance between them and Luo Jinsheng's team was actually not too far.
The two men were the first to rush to the place where the flares were fired as quickly as possible. They could already smell the strong smell of blood before they got close.
Boss Ye secretly thought that something was wrong. Whether a wild beast was hunted or someone was injured and bleeding, such a strong smell of blood would most likely bring about even greater trouble.
He was about to dive in when Mu Zheng grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, let me explore first."
Boss Ye paused and saw Mu Zheng pick up the spear in his hand and clear away the dry bushes in front of him. The tragic scene that came into their eyes scared both of them.
Six or seven people were lying on the ground, and the snow around them was covered with blood.
Among the people lying on the ground, it can be seen that several have lost their lives.
Luo Jinsheng was grabbing a young man's shoulders and shaking him frantically: "Don't sleep, just hold on, don't give up!"
But no matter how he called out, the young man gradually closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
"Ah——" Luo Jinsheng grabbed his hair and roared madly.
The others also looked sad when they saw this.
The weather is too cold now, and there is a shortage of medical care and medicine. People with heavy hands will find it difficult to survive until dawn.
They had watched two people lose their lives in front of them.
Boss Ye and Mu Zheng looked at each other. They had been walking for such a long time, but these people hadn't noticed them.
Especially Luo Jinsheng, his mental state at this time does not seem to be particularly normal.
Mu Zheng strode over, and the others turned their heads slowly to look over. After discovering Mu Zheng and Boss Ye, their eyes lit up at first, but that little bit of light quickly disappeared, and they returned to a sad and numb look.
Boss Ye had never seen such a situation, but Mu Zheng was quite familiar with it.
Many new recruits who are going to the battlefield for the first time have no experience, so even if they are mentally prepared, they can easily become like this when they are suddenly faced with the tragic death of their comrades.
"What kind of beast did this?" Mu Zheng asked with a frown.
Although they were attacked at night, the people led by Luo Jinsheng were all good fighters, so how could there be such heavy casualties?
Hearing Mu Zheng ask this, several people shuddered.
These people were completely frightened.
Whenever the related topic is mentioned, I will think of the situation just now, which has reached the point of being terrified.
Finally, Luo Jinsheng stopped going crazy, walked over, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's a tiger!"
After hearing this, Mu Zheng and Boss Ye felt even more puzzled.
Although tigers are ferocious, they generally act alone rather than in groups.
Luo Jinsheng brought more than a dozen people with him, so he should have been able to hold out for a while. How could it be so tragic?
But the facts are already like this, and asking these questions again will not help, and may even irritate Luo Jinsheng and other survivors.
Ye Laodao said: "Let's change places quickly, the smell of blood is too strong here.
"Once the tiger goes away, it will definitely attract other wild animals."
After hearing what Boss Ye said, Luo Jinsheng and his hunters remembered this matter.
But looking at the injured and corpses on the ground, Luo Jinsheng frowned and said, "What about them?"
While Boss Ye was speaking, he had already squatted down and started to treat the wounds of the injured.
Now we can’t care whether the technique is correct or not. The most important thing is to stop the bleeding and save his life.
Mu Zheng asked someone to check on the four small branches that were as thick as arms, cut off all the branches, and use ropes and tent cloth to make two simple stretchers, preparing to carry the injured away as soon as possible.
When the rest of the people who were left behind rushed over, Mu Zheng and Boss Ye had already dealt with everything that needed to be dealt with.
"We've been waiting for you to arrive." Mu Zheng said, "Don't ask any more questions. Carry these two people and help them with their luggage. We need to move to another place quickly.
After hearing this, Luo Jinsheng suddenly said pessimistically: "No matter how many places we move, the tiger will still find us."
Before Luo Jinsheng finished speaking, a soldier suddenly dropped the luggage he was carrying, squatted on the spot with his hands on his head, trembling all over, and muttered to himself: "The tiger is coming, the tiger is coming..."
These people have been frightened to death by the tiger.
Don't even think about expecting them to do anything. We're lucky that they don't hold us back.
But no matter what, we can't just leave people here.
While Mu Zheng was calling on the people who followed him to come and help, he was thinking that he should send these people out first tomorrow morning and then report to the court. At that time, the court would send the specially established Tiger Hunting Battalion to deal with it.
