The afternoon sun raised the temperature to more than 20 degrees Celsius. Li Longji's team set off to return to Li Family Zhuangzi. They didn't want to stay in Drunken Immortal House any longer.
The people of Xiao Luonan Village sent them out for five miles. They only returned after being persuaded three times.
Thirty miles wasn't far. They arrived at Zhuangzi in less than two hours.
The people next to Zhuangzi ran to the roadside and bowed. They looked up and peeked. It was just a carriage. They couldn't see the key people.
People came and went on the twenty-five miles road from Li Family Zhuangzi to Luoyang Palace. The Li Family Zhuangzi needed supplies, and others came to sell them.
From Li Family Zhuangzi's mountain to the west, to the martyrs' cemetery and pear garden, there were projects under construction. The people went there to watch the fun.
There were also many monks and Taoists rushing there. They had to decorate the scene.
In addition, the hunters who were further away and delayed on the road would participate in the meeting tomorrow.
The hunting dogs were very quiet. They didn't bark at people and didn't need to be tied up.
They even had to talk to their owners before going to the toilet. The owners helped arrange the seats.
If the hunting dogs urinated and peed on the mountain, it would bring death to themselves and their owners. Other large animals would follow the smell and find them.
Fang Tao volunteered to stand outside to receive his colleagues.
His white-haired dog sat next to him. It looked at its colleagues and helped to receive them.
"Xiao Fang, this is … white-haired? Why does it look different? I haven't seen it for a month. Its body has grown normal, but its eyes … "
A hunter suddenly noticed the change in white-haired when he was talking with Fang Tao. His four dogs could make a fuss with white-haired dog. Why were they so obedient now?
"Blind Shi is here." Fang Tao mentioned a name.
"We know he's here. He's with you … your white-haired dog is now …"
The hunter reacted. He took two steps forward and squatted down to look at white-haired dog carefully.
After more than a minute, he got up. "Blind Jing Zhao Shi is really worthy of his reputation! Tell me how he trained it! "
The hunter looked at white-haired dog with envy. Then he looked at his four dogs. His eyes were full of expectation.
'Blind Shi' and 'Chuang Shan' came here. I happened to be here … "
Fang Tao was happily talking about the process of white-haired dog's transformation and how the mad dog was taught a lesson.
"So that's how it is. You owe me a big favor! It's just that this method doesn't work well. If I let my dog face it, it's likely that it won't even be able to be a hunting dog. "
The hunter realized that there was a problem. White Hair almost resisted the mountain guard dog's pressure.
His dog had come once, and it was over.
"It's not like Blind Shi only has one way. Let's go and take a look. What if there's a way?" Fang Tao was not in a position to say anything else.
"Alright, let's go meet him." The hunter sighed and called for his four dogs to follow.
The hunters who came all knew Fang Taozheng. News of him saving people was spreading.
Seeing the huge change in his white hair, he thought that it was a reward from God for saving people.
The commoners couldn't tell that the dogs were guarding the mountain. They passed by to look and see which dog was a good dog.
The dog was big, and its eyes were full of spirit. It did not make a fuss.
Why can't I raise a dog like this at home? Where did the hunter find it?
The hunters didn't know what the others were thinking. They went in to find a place to settle down. First, they settled down the dogs, then they settled down.
After finishing his work, he went to the carpentry and blacksmith workshop. The craftsmen in Zhuangzi were working hard, making things for the future hunter's hut.
The hunters provided the ideas, and the craftsmen completed it.
The hunters could actually make it themselves. Simple iron tools and tools were no problem. They were good at making traps.
However, compared to the craftsmen, the hunters' craftsmanship was far worse.
The craftsmen made things strong, durable, and beautiful.
The hunters' huts were placed on the branches of trees, on the rocks, and beside the stream.
The original hunters' huts were made with branches, leather, and grass curtains.
Now, they were all made of wood. They could be assembled and strong. There were even many small windows that could be opened at any time.
In case they were surrounded by wolves, they could hide in the hut and find a place to open a small window to shoot arrows.
If they encountered bears and wild boars, the normal hunters' huts wouldn't be able to withstand it.
There was no problem with the current hut. They could just hit it. It was guaranteed that it wouldn't be damaged.
"I've made a spear head for you. The hut is filled with waxwood poles of different lengths and thicknesses.
Hoes, sickles, kitchen knives, and saws have all been prepared for you.
When the time comes, there will be a batch of medicine put in. It will be dried and maintained with lime.
The hunters' huts in the capital government were made this way. The woodcutters would go in to collect firewood sometimes to rest.
After eating the food inside, you don't have to hunt immediately to make up for it. There are many things inside. When you go down the mountain, you can go to the government and tell them. "
The leader of the craftsmen, Zheng Shenlin, and the group of hunters who had gathered around to watch said that the people in the capital government were safe.
The people who lived at the foot of the mountain were always worried that wild beasts would come down the mountain to eat them.
With a good hut, the hunters could control a large area without wild beasts that could harm the people.
The hunters would take the initiative to maintain the ecological balance, but they didn't need to do so in places where people lived.
The more hunters' huts were built, the farther the hunters could go into the mountain.
Old man Shi was going to be an official. He said, "The hunters' huts in the capital government are comfortable. There are maps inside.
The locations of the hunters' huts are marked on the map. After hunting and resting, you don't have to rush to make up for it immediately.
If the situation is urgent, go down the mountain first and report to the government. You can use money to make up for it and spend more money.
When the other hunters enter the mountain, they will go to the government first. They will be responsible for bringing up the missing items and will be paid extra. "
In the past, the rules of the hunters' huts were that they would immediately make up for it after they went in because there were few supplies.
Now that there were more, it wasn't a problem to live in the huts for three to five months. For example, if they were injured and couldn't contact anyone, they could just recuperate inside.
Or they could ask their dogs to go down the mountain and report back home. The more powerful the dogs and the more there were, the safer it would be.
The hunters in Henan nodded. They had heard about the hunters' huts in the capital government long ago. Some of them had even been there.
There was cooked and dried rice inside, which could be drunk by soaking it in water.
Those who didn't like to eat rice could eat steamed buns, dried steamed buns on the stove, or black bread.
There were also pickled vegetables, salt, dried green onions, cabbage, cowpeas, and so on.
The people in the capital government didn't go up the mountain to steal from the hunters' huts. First, they didn't lack those things. Second, if they stole once, they would definitely steal a second time, a third time …
Once the number of times increased, the hunters would be vigilant. Hunters had good dogs.
Not long after discovering that something in a hunter's hut had been stolen, the hunter would stop hunting and bring his dog to look for the thief.
The crime of stealing depended on the situation. Stealing from a hunter's hut was considered harming others.
If caught by the government, the sentence would be heavy. It wasn't worth it.
It was far away from the mountain. Running over there to steal was not worth the loss.
The distance was close, and the hunters lived at the foot of the mountain. If they stole meat and the villagers saw them …
They couldn't just run over the mountains for dozens of miles and come back with two catties of meat, right?
If they had to carry big and small packages, the target would be obvious. Would the children at home eat it? Would they accidentally say something when playing with the other children?
If they were discovered, the patriarch of the same clan wouldn't beat them to death. It would be even worse if they weren't from the same clan. Most of the villagers had the surname Yang. It was already good enough for a person with the surname Huang to live there. How could they steal?
