"Alas!" The man called Old Guang by Fang Taozheng sighed. He spoke to the young man he brought and the other young men at the same time.
"If there are more hunters, there will be more hounds, and the beasts will stay away. At that time, what's the use of having a base camp?
A good place will waste a lot of manpower and resources. It will be a waste.
Moreover, once people are greedy for stability and enjoyment, they will be less vigilant and easily die in the mountains. "
Fang Taozheng said from the side, "Hunters hunting in the mountains is almost like fighting a war. If you put a bed for yourself, you will sleep like a log. If you really encounter a situation, you won't be able to react."
"Can't we put a bed here?" Another young hunter pointed to the spacious interior of the cave.
"Put straw mats and barricades in the cave. Before people come in, shout or throw stones.
After they come in, put the barricades straight to prevent leopards and other agile carnivorous beasts from coming up.
Owls and other animals that can fly are not afraid. They don't eat people. "
Although Old Man Shi was angry, he still had to talk about relevant matters to teach the young people.
Some people in the team carried tools on their backs and made them on the spot. After that, they would leave a set of tools in the hunter's hut in the cave.
The iron tools were marked with the serial number of the Li Family Zhuangzi craftsmen.
It was not to pursue the responsibility of the craftsmen if the tools were broken one day, but to prevent others from secretly taking them home.
Hunters would not take them. What if someone was bored and went to the hunter's hut to play and took them away?
There was no need to worry about the things in the hunter's hut. Anyone could eat and use them, including the woodcutter who went up the mountain to cut firewood.
There was only one requirement. What was used and what was eaten must be reported to the government according to the serial number of the hut after going down the mountain so that everyone could replenish it.
Otherwise, if you ate it all and didn't say anything, others would find nothing when they hid in the hut at a critical moment. That would be terrible!
After dealing with the cave, the group continued to go to the location of the hunter's hut that they had discussed.
The young man who wanted to enjoy himself in the cave just now followed at the back. It was impossible to let him leave. He would die in the mountain alone.
After another place was set up, the sky darkened. Everyone ate something and rushed back with torches.
The newbies who were brought to learn by their master couldn't bear it. They were tired for a day and didn't rest at night?
They thought they would be able to eat barbecue, but they only ate dried rice soaked in boiling water and glutinous rice.
Oh, there were also hard, sun-dried pickled vegetable lumps. This wasn't the treatment they received when they first arrived.
"Let's hurry up and get to the hunter's cabin tomorrow morning. We can drink some hot water there."
Old man Shi acted as if he didn't know what the young man was thinking. The moment he opened his mouth, he told him to wait until the next morning.
"The village at the foot of the mountain is just a short walk from the hunter's hut," someone muttered.
"That works too! We can rest in the village. "Old man Shi readily agreed.
The other youngsters glared at this youngster. You talk too much.
Fortunately, there was no rain at night, but the sky was very cloudy, and the stars and moon could not be seen.
The weather in Luoyang was no longer warm. When the wind blew, the people who were sobbing unconsciously shivered.
The other hunters did not have much of a reaction. They knew that Blind Shi was purposely trying to train the youngsters and teach them a lesson.
He didn't do this when he came because he was afraid that the youngsters wouldn't be able to hold on.
If they persisted on the return journey, they would arrive at the Li Family Zhuangzi in twenty hours at most.
Even if he fell sick from exhaustion during the journey, the Li Family Zhuangzi would be able to treat him.
The apprentices should feel the state of their bodies when they were continuously running or chasing prey. Don't think that you can relax just because you have a hunter's hut.
The hunter's hut was used for resting, not to make you give up on chasing prey.
Hunters went up the mountain to hunt and earn money to support their families.
At this time, there were many people and dogs, so there was no need to worry about danger. Any large animals that came out could only avoid people.
Was the tiger's sense of territory strong? If they encountered them, they would choose to endure. Don't worry, they will leave soon. They don't dare to stay in my territory for long.
At dawn, everyone finally saw the hunter's hut. Then, they passed through the door of their 'home' and went to the village more than ten li away.
There were villagers in the group. They were woodcutters, hunters, and farmers.
There were a total of three families, and two people from each family went up the mountain.
Usually, they would collect firewood in the winter and transport it to Luoyang to sell to the people in the city.
If they did not sell it in the village, wouldn't the other villagers get some firewood from the mountain?
"Old Guan, are you still selling firewood this year?"
Old Guang asked the oldest third of the village who was a hunter.
"Of course! With more coal, the firewood is more valuable. With more people coming from outside, the firewood will sell well this year. "
A smile appeared on Old Guan's wrinkled face. With the money from selling firewood, the village bought six more cows.
Burning coal required both soft and hard firewood. They couldn't just use a fire sickle to light the coal, right?
In winter, more firewood was burned to keep warm. After dinner, it was safer to burn firewood to keep the kang warm.
Last year, the firewood sold well. Everyone liked the kang, which was warm.
People who did not cook usually did not light fires, but in winter, they needed a fire.
However, there was less firewood for the greenhouse, so it was more cost-effective for them to burn coal.
With the money they earned from selling things to Luoyang, the villagers discussed and gathered the money to buy six more cows.
This winter, many villagers went up the mountain to find firewood. The good trees nearby could not be cut down. After cutting them down, there would be mudslides or landslides.
With the hunter's hut, it was convenient for the people to keep warm in the winter. They brought their own things up the mountain and did not eat the food in the hut.
Old Guan was happy that the days were good.
"My father always said that Henan was the best Henan this winter because His Majesty and Li Dongzhu were there."
Old Guan's son, Zhong Guan, spoke. He mentioned His Majesty and Li Yi.
He could not be Xiao Guan, because he had a son.
"His Majesty's breakfast must be golden, right?" Another young man in the village guessed.
Old Shi looked at him and said, "You guessed right. His Majesty might have millet porridge in the morning."
"What? His Majesty eats millet porridge? "The young man was a little confused.
"Of course. Let's go to your village and see what kind of porridge they have. "Old Shi smiled.
…
"This morning, he had millet porridge and pie. What about you, Xiao Yi?"
In the Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Yi did not sleep much. He got up occasionally to check on the situation.
He went to bed at four in the morning and got up to eat.
At four in the morning, the snow stopped in Fan Fan's village and the wind became weak. Everyone was relieved.
"I'll have some soup, spicy soup with more dry ingredients. I won't eat anything else. I'll go back to sleep after a bowl of soup."
Li Yi only washed his face and brushed his teeth. He did not take a shower because he was sleepy.
"I'll eat the same thing as Brother Yi. One bowl is the same, two bowls are the same."
Li Longji did not drink the porridge as Old Shi said, but he took an extra meat bun.
"En!" Princess Yongmu nodded, expressing the same.
Xiao Lan grabbed a robot in front of her and said, "Contact the canteen and make half a pot of spicy soup with more dry ingredients."
"Okay!" The robot replied.
