Chapter 40: Into the Mountain
Chapter 40: Entering the Mountain
Only after leaving Chang'an City did I realize how difficult the lives of ordinary people in ancient times were.
Looking around, in Yi Fan's eyes, the whole village was like a beggar.
There is basically no decent piece of clothing on everyone, it is pudding heavy pudding. A piece of clothing is like a piece of fabric of many colors.
In the village, Yi Fan saw the poorest family. The only iron tool in the family was a hoe and a pottery jar was used to cook.
After walking around the village, Yi Fan felt very sad. He picked up two stones next to the river and smashed them into the river very much.
Yi Feng and Yiyun, who were following behind, wondered why his elder brother suddenly became unhappy.
More than a thousand years ago, Guanzhong was filled with jungles, lush water plants, and crisscrossing waterways.
More than a thousand years later, Guanzhong was everywhere, with wind and sand everywhere, and yellow sand was hiding the sun.
For a Guanzhong person who has not eaten a few pounds of yellow sand, you are embarrassed to say that you are from Guanzhong.
…………
Yi Chengfeng came out of the village and found Yi Fan by the river and said to him.
"Brother, the old village chief has helped us find the two best hunters in the village and said that he would let you go back and take a look."
Yi Fan nodded, threw a stone again, and headed towards the village.
"Little benefactor, these two are the best hunters in our village. If they take you into the mountains, I'll feel more at ease with the old man."
Yi Fan looked at the two of them, both of whom were tall and strong men.
Yi Fan said to the two: "We need to enter the mountain for about ten days. These days you just need to ensure that we will not get lost and can walk out of the mountain smoothly.
And some particularly dangerous places need to remind us in advance. The wages are tentatively set to be the same as the regular amount of money every day, and how many days you go there are counting as many days."
The old village chief was shocked when he heard that Yi Guan’s money was a day. Those who dig food from the soil could not earn a few Guan’s money in a year.
"My benefactor, isn't your usual money this day too high?"
The two men were also honest and nodded violently in conjunction with the old village chief's words.
Yi Fan waved his hand and said it didn't matter.
"As long as we can ensure that we can come out of the mountains safely, money is not a problem. You can also go back and prepare, and we will enter the mountains tomorrow."
The next morning, a group of ten people entered Zhongnan Mountain under the eyes of the villagers.
The ten people are Yifan, Yifeng, Yiyun, Yihefeng, Yihefeng, Yihefeng, Yihe breaking the waves, Yihe as the sun, Yizhongtian, Yiyangguo, and two villagers, Wu Daniu, Wu Dazhu. Plus two hunting dogs, Dahuang and Dahei.
Due to his legs, Yi Hawking could only stay in heaven and earth to guard his house.
There is basically no secret to Zhongnan Mountain in a thousand years.
This Zhongnan Mountain was in a wild jungle, and trees that were hugging each other could be seen everywhere. The various birds and insects in the forest were clearly heard.
Wu Daniu led Dahuang to open the way, Yi Fan and the others were in the middle, and Wu Dazhu led Dahei to break the back to prevent anyone from falling behind.
Yi Fan and the others disappeared into the dense forest, and an inconspicuous grass emerged from behind.
All four of them were dressed in hunter dress similar to Wu Daniu and others.
The four of them followed the traces left by Yi Fan and the others along the way.
As soon as the four of them left, another person appeared on the spot. This person was Yi Feng and his martial arts master, Yang Sheng.
In the palace.
Ang Lee quickly entered Liangyi Hall and submitted a secret report to Li Shimin, who was reviewing the memorial.
After reading the secret report, Li Shimin opened the secret report and said, "Go and check this Wujia Village at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain."
"yes."
Zhongnan Mountain.
The four people who followed Yi Fan and the others had fallen in a pool of blood at this time. Yang Sheng was standing next to their bodies, and was wiping the blood on his hands with a silk scribble.
Yang Sheng said to himself: "Hey, as soon as this man got older, his skills have become worse. It took him so long to deal with a few younger boys."
Yang Sheng threw away the blood-stained silk handkerchief and walked towards the direction where Yi Fan and the others disappeared.
After taking two steps, he stopped again and suddenly spoke to the empty forest.
"Hey, I'm old now, and I'm not even as vigilant as before. Do you still plan to continue hiding?"
A sarcastic sound came from the dense tree canopy above Yang Sheng's head.
"Haha... Senior has such a powerful skill. Junior knows that he is not his opponent, so he won't show his shame.
I don’t know if the senior can tell you the name, and it’s better for me to get a job when I go back.”
Yang Sheng walked around the place, as if he was determining the position of the person who was talking.
However, the sound came from all directions, making people unable to tell.
"I am old and have a good memory. If Ang Lee came to ask me, maybe I could still remember it."
After saying that, he picked up a stone with his feet and hit the tree crown. He heard a muffled groan, and then there was no sound again.
Yang Sheng and his friends came to the canopy, leaving a few drops of bright red blood on the trunk, but there was no trace of his figure.
Yang Sheng looked at the bloodstains, looked around again, and chuckled, "Junior, this skill in running away is pretty good."
After saying that, he jumped and disappeared into the dense forest.
In the evening, Yi Fan and his party came to a small wooden house. Wu Daniu skillfully opened the wooden door and walked in.
Driven by curiosity, Yi Fan also followed in. The wooden house was very simple, with a wooden bed and a stove inside.
The wooden house was too small, and both of them couldn't move inside.
Wu Daniu groped under the bed for a long time and found two bows wrapped in animal skin.
Seeing Yi Fan looking at him, Wu Daniu explained: "The government does not allow us civilians to have bows, but how can we hunters not have bows? We had to hide them in the deep mountains and take them again when hunting."
Yi Fan nodded to express his understanding.
With bows and arrows, I naturally had to go hunting. When I heard that I wanted to go hunting, the boys seemed very excited.
With Yi Fan's consent, several people took out the sleeve crossbow hidden under the cuffs and fixed it back outside the arm to facilitate shooting.
Seeing this, Wu Daniu and the others were surprised, but they didn't ask much. It would be better if they knew something but didn't know it.
After checking the equipment, a group of people began to hunt under the leadership of Wu Daniu and others. Since this place is still on the edge of Zhongnan Mountain, there are no large beasts. Just be careful of poisons such as snakes and centipedes.
Since it is a marginal area, there will naturally not be many preys, so you need to go deeper.
Soon after the arrival, Dahuang and Dahei slowly lowered their steps, stretched their necks and lowered their entire body forward, like two leopards ready to go.
Wu Daniu waved his hand to stop everyone from moving forward. He was slow to take down the bow and arrow behind him.
Wu Dazhu also raised his bow and arrow.
Yi Fan guessed that there must be some prey in front of him, but after watching for a long time, he still couldn't see where the prey was.
The boys were excited and nervous, raised their sleeves and crossbows, their eyes widened, and searched around. Obviously, they couldn't find where the prey was.
Yi Fan and his friends were about to search carefully, but they saw the grass moving not far ahead.
At this moment, two bowstrings sounds were heard, and the arrows in Wu Daniu and his two hands had already flew into the grass.
"Puffing Lingling" sounded flapping from the wings, and a group of pheasants flew up from the grass.
Yi Fan quickly raised his arm, and two crossbow arrows flew out. He rubbed past a pheasant, leaving behind a bright feather that slowly fell down.
