Han Peacock heard the sound coming from the bear, which seemed to be the direction Huangshan told Chen Ling and the others to look for food. Huangshan was worried about the safety of Chen Ling and others, so he said to Han Peacock: "I'll go take a look! Didn't Li An say that this place was originally a bear?"
His lair? Maybe it is still nearby, and Chen Ling and the others would be in danger if they ran into it."
Han Peacock was also worried about the safety of Chen Ling and the others, so he hurriedly followed. At this time, Han Peacock had forgotten the feeling of hunger and wanted to save people.
Humans encountered a bear. Without firearms, the probability of survival was too low. At this time, they could only pray that Chen Ling and the others could deal with it tactfully. After all, the chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with a bear was too small.
When Han Kongque and Huang Shan arrived at the place where the bear roared, they immediately found Chen Ling, Qi Qian and Zheng Qi squatting in a jungle. They were carefully observing the bear's movements.
Relieved, Han Kongque and Huang Shanye lowered their bodies and slowly approached the location where Chen Ling and others were.
Seeing that nothing happened to Chen Ling and the others, the two of them felt relieved. Huangshan asked in a low voice: "Chen Ling, you didn't have any conflict with this bear, did you?"
At this time, both Han Kongque and Huangshan discovered the bear. At this time, on a small river a hundred meters away, a bear with white fur was fishing.
It's autumn now, and bears are about to hibernate. They need to store as much fat as possible every day to survive the long and cold winter. Therefore, bears at this time will not let go of any food they come across.
Seeing this white bear, Han Peacock was still very curious. White bear, as the name suggests, is a bear with white fur. It is often understood as a polar bear. In fact, white bear is another name for polar bear.
And this is not the North Pole. Why are there white bears?
In confusion, Lao Hu lowered his voice and said: "This is an albino bear. According to current biologists' inferences, there are two types. One is that white bears are the product of black bears albino, and the other is that in ancient times, polar bears stayed here.
The product formed, so they don’t hibernate. I think the second one is more reliable. After all, you see, this bear has nothing in common with a black bear!”
Through Lao Hu's explanation, Han Kongque and others understood the extraordinary nature of this bear. Seeing that the white bear seemed to have gained nothing, the angry white bear couldn't help but roar a few times, then went ashore and found some young leaves to chew on.
"Uh, are bears still vegetarian?" Han Peacock and Huangshan were both surprised.
"So this white bear and black bear have nothing in common! White bears are omnivores, while black bears are completely carnivores." Lao Hu has been in the mountains more than once, and he seems to know the white bears very well.
Seeing the white bear coming ashore, everyone was relieved. Chen Ling, who retreated, whispered: "When Zheng Qi and I were catching fish in this river, we found traces of the white bear, so we hid.
Fortunately, I caught two.
But now that there is a bear here, let’s just eat it raw! Let’s replenish our strength first and then leave immediately. The hungry white bear is still quite dangerous to us.”
After Chen Ling finished speaking, she proudly showed off two fishes.
"Come on! It was Zheng Qi who got in." Qi Qian opened her mouth to hit Chen Ling and said.
Han Kongque and others all glanced at Zheng Qi. They really didn't expect this delicate little girl to have such ability.
After one glance, Han Kongque knew that this was the result of a simple harpoon made of branches. She must have practiced using branches to insert fish into the river, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to catch the fish like this.
.
Carrying two fish, the three women walked in front, and the group returned to the cave. After covering up the bonfire, they slaughtered the live fish directly outside. Han Peacock took the fresh fish and cut the fish with an exquisite silver knife.
Cut it into slices and have it as sashimi.
When eating this fish raw, Han Peacock felt that it tasted quite good. Not to mention that the water quality here was good. The fish meat when eaten raw did not have too much fishy smell, but it exuded a sweet taste.
"You guys should try it too, this fish tastes good." Han Peacock smiled and helped them, and also handled the other fish.
After several people finished eating the river fish, they immediately packed up and left the cave to avoid conflict with the white bears looking for food.
Considering that the precious animals here cannot be harmed, Han Peacock and others prepared to leave as soon as possible. This is why Han Peacock did not confront the white bear head-on.
If they were just ordinary beasts, they would be beaten to death, but for some rare animals, Han Peacock really couldn't take action. After all, this was not his own, let alone others. If Han Peacock and the others killed the white bear, here would be
Those students and professors will not let them go.
Although Han Peacock is not afraid of those people, he is afraid of trouble. There are countless dangerous beasts in the mountains, so how can he be afraid of white bears? He just follows the local customs and tries not to conflict with these rare animals, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Far away from the place where the white bears were, the escort led by Qian Ming slowed down. Li An shouted to the people behind him: "It should be safe here. Let's take a rest. I'll go see what food is available nearby."
."
Walking here, it seems to be a different scene. The temperature is lower in the place where the white bears hang out. In the morning, the grass and trees were covered with a coat of snow. After arriving at this place, the trees are much taller.
"This is where the surrounding rivers converge, and there is a small canyon over there. This is the main campsite for us to stay for a month. Everyone's horses are all placed inside, and there are always guards here to protect us."
At this time, Lao Hu opened his mouth and said.
During this period, Han Kongque and Huangshan's horses were all given to Qian Mingyuan to take care of. Every time they camped, there were escort personnel to place everyone's horses in a relatively closed environment and take care of them.
In this mountain, without horses, humans can't carry anything out of the mountain. After all, this is a plateau area, and most people can't breathe even walking by themselves, let alone carrying heavy things on their backs.
Han Kongque and Huangshan were fine, so they got together with the guards and wanted to know something about the situation.
Lao Hu was also there. When he saw Han Kongque and Huangshan coming, Lao Hu said: "This is a place where rivers meet. Look at the mountains around. Every mountain here may produce jade, so this river
There must be jade inside, but the terrain here is complicated, so it is still very troublesome to find which river is the source of jade."
Han Peacock had already made a preliminary observation of the surrounding terrain. This was in the mountains. Every two mountains, or the concave surface of a mountain, might form a stream. At this time, the rainy season had passed, and there were not many streams in the mountains.
Lots of water.
But there is water in every creek, but the water is not deep, and it is crystal clear, so the pebbles under the creek can be seen clearly.
Han Peacock was a little dumbfounded at just a cursory glance. Under every stream here, there were densely packed stones of various sizes. These stones were all washed slippery by the river water, and even the colors were not much different.
Han Kongque would not be so naive as to think that many of the stones here are jade, so finding raw jade stones in such an environment is really difficult. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Is there jade in this river?" Huangshan asked a little surprised.
Lao Hu smiled and said lightly: "It is said that someone found top-quality white jade here."
Han Peacock was speechless, and Lao Hu used legend to express it, so if there is jade here, it may really be a legend.
But this is normal. If it can be confirmed that there is jade here and it is easy to find, then Lao Hu will definitely not stop so many people from coming to look for it.
Knowing Lao Hu's plan, Han Kongque stopped asking any more questions, thinking that no matter how much he asked, he would definitely not be able to find out anything of value.
Lao Hu is still very satisfied with Han Kongque's performance. He is a young man who knows how to behave, so he doesn't mind saying a few more words.
"Every river here is worth exploring, otherwise I wouldn't have led you here. You know, when there are floods in summer, the rocks are washed away, so no one knows where the rocks in the river came from.
Where did it come from? Therefore, there is indeed jade here, but it is not easy to find the main origin.
So we have to take this place as the center and follow every river to explore a large area. I think that if we work hard like this, we will always be rewarded." Old Hu looked at the streams in the distance, a little lost.
road.
At this time, everyone who had put down their luggage gathered here, wanting to hear what Lao Hu thought.
Lao Hu's idea is very simple. Everyone goes out to look for rough stones that may yield jade. If they find them, they bring them back here to unlock them. In this way, there will always be something to gain by unlocking a large number of stones.
As for how to break the stone in the mountains, Lao Hu had already prepared it, so when he talked about it, he looked at the guards under him.
They are talking here, while the guards are still busy.
They unloaded the horse bags from the horses one by one and were sorting them. Someone took off the horses' reins and drove the horses into a small canyon, while more people were unpacking the horse bags and sorting the contents inside.
thing.
At this time, Han Peacock discovered why Lao Hu followed him to eat. It was because there were not many living supplies in their luggage. Therefore, without Han Peacock, they would have had to look for food on their own along the way.
At this time, the escorts opened their horse bags, and Han Kongque realized that the luggage they carried, in addition to tents, was some things like fan blades. After a little assembly, Han Kongque realized that these were small wind turbines.
Then, small cutting machines were assembled one after another, and then the outline of a large cutting machine was also assembled, which made everyone who saw it stunned.
None of them expected that Lao Hu would actually bring so many cutting machines into the mountain. It seems that Lao Hu has really made up his mind and will not give up until he finds the jade. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and updated novels.
