The first thousand five hundred and fifty-four chapters into the mountain
The villagers all know that people like Mr. Ye can find a good job even if they go to the county town.
In their poor and remote country, there was nothing worthy of Mr. Ye's concern.
Food and money? Forget it. If a scholar works as a steward in the city, his cash for a month is equivalent to the income of the whole village.
"Master Ye, come to my house if you have time. My mother-in-law's stewed meat is delicious!
"Mr. Ye, you'd better come to my house. Last year I brewed a bottle of good wine, and I just happened to dig it out this year. Come and have a try at my house!"
"Young Master Ye..." Ye Fan was so excited by the title of Young Master Ye that he quickly waved his hands to reject everyone's kindness.
Father Chen coughed a few times and stepped forward to help Ye Fan, "I must have scared Young Master Ye.
In this case, let’s call Mr. Ye sir.
I heard people in the city call it that!
Ye Fan was overjoyed after hearing this, "Uncle Chen, how far is the nearest city from here?" "Hmm..." Father Chen thought for a while, "Go northeast for about two hundred miles, and you can reach Dazhou in three or four days."
Yu County.
If you want to go to Zhezhou City, I'm afraid you will have to walk for more than ten days."
Ye Fan frowned.
I don’t know the teleportation array in the city that the two brats just talked about. I don’t know if it’s the county town or the Zhezhou city?
It would be easier if it were the county seat. With my current situation, I can get there in a few hours.
If it were Zhezhou City, it would take two or three days to get there.
Forget it, forget it, do the things in front of you first.
In three days, the people in the village were taught the words in the secret book. Even if it was not possible for everyone to learn it, at least one or two people would be able to learn it.
If he goes into the mountains to hunt more prey and comes back, in exchange for money and food, and gives them to Xiaoyu, it will be worth some of the life-saving grace.
As for the great kindness, please repay it when you have the opportunity in the future! "Young master, you want to go to the county town to visit?" "Well, I have something to do and I need to go to the county town!
"Ye Fan nodded and said, "Can you go into the mountains again tomorrow? I want to hunt some prey and come back.
When the time comes, we'll see what we can sell, and you can keep the money you get in exchange."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Father Chen was very happy.
Afterwards, the hunters distributed the prey to the villagers, and each family took a certain amount of food.
The rest will be dried and stored in large cellars in case of urgent need in winter when food is scarce.
In order to thank Ye Fan, Mr. Chen specially shared an extra pheasant and a large piece of wild venison.
The people in the village have no objection to this. It is said that scholars are very mentally demanding and need to eat meat every day to supplement their nutrition.
Besides, Mr. Ye Fan is still recovering from his serious injury and needs to eat more meat!
Ye Fan took it sheepishly and let Xiaoyu, who was extremely happy, take it back first.
Nothing happened all night.
Early the next morning, the hunting team gathered at the training ground in front of the village.
As the saying goes, you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.
In Chentai Village and several nearby villages, the main source of food in winter is prey in the mountains.
After the beginning of spring, ferocious wild beasts begin to wreak havoc, so everyone must hunt enough food before the onset of deep winter to support them until they plant food.
In the depth of winter, most of the large beasts in the mountains are well fed and preparing for the winter. They are very lazy and rarely attack large groups of hunters.
When spring begins, hungry tigers, leopards, and blind bears come out very frequently, and even dare to look for food near the village.
By understanding the characteristics of animals at this time, the hunting team will be able to relax a lot.
After all, no one would provoke those ferocious beasts if nothing happened.
Everyone just wants to hunt some antelopes, wild boars and wild deer. As for those small things such as birds, hunters are not very fond of them now.
Ye Fan carried a big knife and followed the hunter team, bypassing the village gate and climbing away from a small mountain pass in Dayan Ridge.
This was Ye Fan's first time out of Chentai Village. He looked around at the entrance of the village for dozens of seconds before he followed the hunter team.
Dayan Ridge is actually a large mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles.
Chentai Village is located between Dayan Mountains. Although it is connected to several other villages by roads, it is also very difficult to get there.
The altitude of Dayan Ridge is not high, but the forest is very deep.
In the language of the earth, it is a virgin forest!
Dayan Ridge is a forest sea with lush trees and a huge number of birds and beasts, including many ferocious and large beasts, which are very dangerous to ordinary people.
People in the village grow food in spring and summer and hunt in autumn and winter.
I spent almost half the year dealing with Dayan Ridge, so going in and out of the forest was like playing in the backyard of my home.
Of course, this is just the woods outside Dayan Ridge.
Deep in the Dayan Ridge, no one has ever gone in.
Even though some brave people went in, they never came out.
"Sir, are you really a master of martial arts?" Chen Hu smiled naively and came to Ye Fan, "Why do you want to settle in our village?"...Are you investigating me? Ye Fan shook his head.
, “I don’t remember many things.
Now, I know nothing about this place.
Chen Hu, you said I don’t even know where I came from, so how do I know where I’m going?” Chen Hu was confused, “Sir, you are so knowledgeable!
"Ye Fan did not answer, but smiled faintly, "Haha...Chen Hu, I heard that you like girl Xiaoyu?" Chen Hu's expression changed and he shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, sir, you misunderstood.
Everyone watched Xiaoyu grow up and regarded her as a younger sister. You... Mr. came unexpectedly and felt a little uncomfortable... Hehe!
"This guy, the "everyone" he mentioned doesn't exist at all, okay? You were the only one who was jealous at that time... Looking at Chen Hu's hurried explanation, Ye Fan laughed dumbly, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu and I have nothing to do, she is me
Her lifesaver, I have nothing but gratitude to her.
If you have an idea, just go for it and don't pay attention to me."
Chen Hu was stunned, "Really...really?"
"What did I lie to you about?"
Ye Fan laughed.
"Sir, after climbing over this mountain, we will enter the forest.
Although with your skills, no beasts should be able to hurt you, but the forest is too big and it would be bad if you get lost."
Chen Long came over and smiled, while Chen Hu nodded repeatedly.
Now when walking on this mountain road, it has almost become a trail.
The surrounding woods also look very peaceful under the sunlight.
The thorns on the roadside were cut to a few centimeters long. It seemed that hunters like Chen Long and Chen Hu often walked this mountain road!
"Ahem, you go, I'll follow!
"Ye Fan agreed and picked up some pebbles on the ground.
More than twenty men surrounded Ye Fan and continued walking uphill unsteadily.
There are obviously fewer trees on the top of the mountain, but there are a lot of weeds around.
Everyone took the path in the middle and walked down the mountain along the path, not caring if there were any snakes on the side.
"Sir, what do you want these stones for?" Chen Hu felt strange when he saw Ye Fan bending down to pick up stones from time to time. He walked around from behind and walked side by side with Ye Fan.
Chen Long has been hanging out with Father Chen in the mountains since he was a child, so except for a few older middle-aged people in the hunting team, most of them follow his lead.
In normal hunting, experienced middle-aged people only play a guiding role. After all, everyone is in their forties and their physical strength is not as good as that of these young people in their twenties.
In fact, Chen Hu joined the hunter team with less than a year's experience. He could not lead the team or lead the team, so he could only hang around in the team.
Ye Fan is also a rookie, similar to Chen Hu.
The two of them were relatively familiar with each other, so they got together.
"Stones... Well, when I was a kid, I had nothing to do. I liked throwing rocks. I was just playing around, so I learned the unique skill of flying rocks."
Ye Fan chuckled and pointed to a little squirrel on a branch not far away, "Chen Hu, go wait under the tree.
I promised to bring some gadgets back to Xiaoyu. If I couldn’t kill the tiger, I would shoot the squirrel!
"As he said that, a gray shadow flew towards the treetops. Chen Hu didn't even see it clearly, he only heard a scream of "Zhi Zhi Zhi".
"Oh, don't go."
Ye Fan showed some embarrassment on his face, "Ahem, I hit hard, I shot my head directly..." Chen Hu opened his mouth and was speechless.
After walking for about half a day, everyone climbed over the mountain forest and came to a creek. Chen Long ordered everyone to camp beside the creek.
"Mr. Ye Fan, we will camp here tonight.
Haha, let's set up a pot and cook some meat first, and I'll call you when it's ready!
"Chen Long came to Ye Fan respectfully and said, then looked at his brother, "Chen Hu, don't take your husband around. If you miss the meal time, you will be hungry tonight!
"Chen Hu was obviously a person with a criminal record. When he heard this, he immediately trembled, lowered his head and murmured, "I know!
"After an afternoon of communication, Chen Hu admired Ye Fan's knowledge.
The reason is very simple. Ye Fan gave Chen Hu a small start and taught him a small poem.
It is said to be a powerful tool for picking up girls, but I don’t know if it is true. There are four sentences in total, which are catchy and easy to learn, “Guangguang Jujiu, in Hezhizhou.
My fair lady, a gentleman is so brave!
"At this moment, Chen Hu's head is full of "My Fair Lady"!
Ye Fan stood on the edge of the stream, stepping on a few big stones, watching the small fish swimming happily in the water, and suddenly felt a strange artistic conception in his heart.
With a "whoosh", he swung a tall black iron broad-blade knife in his hand and pointed it at a big stone.
Chen Hu laughed naively, "Mr. Ye Fan, what are you scratching on that stone piece?" "Engraving!
"Ye Fan frowned and said two words.
Chen Hu nodded, his eyes suddenly lit up with joy, and he ran over, "Sir, the poem you taught me this afternoon, carve it out and let me see what it looks like!"
""OK!
" Ye Fan, who was bored, agreed and found a bigger stone nearby.
"Click, click" was chopped into a square stone piece the size of a 14-inch computer screen, and sixteen characters were engraved on it.
When Chen Hu saw Ye Fan finish carving, he held it in his arms as if he had found a treasure. Looking at the slate, his eyes turned into lines with laughter, and he kept mumbling the verses he had memorized by rote.
"Chen Hu, you got it backwards."
Ye Fan laughed, and a light suddenly flashed in his mind, slate!
