Chapter 754 Leading People into the Mountains (1)
Seeing that several people listened to his advice, Mr. Zou stopped harping on the matter and changed the subject.
"When we go into the mountains tomorrow, Mingxuan and Junhao, you two must listen to Xiaoxue's instructions and don't run around.
The people in the production team are very secretive about the deep mountains. And with the precedent of Zheng Pengcheng, you can't think you are invincible just because you have been training for more than a year.
Don't take it lightly or you'll end up causing trouble."
"Yes, yes, just take a look and come out, don't stay in there too long," said Old Wu.
Zhao Junhao did not accept this suggestion, he quickly shook his head, "How can that be possible? We have been thinking about it for so long, we have to see more of it.
Besides, we are also thinking of getting more prey and making bacon to take back later.
The meat of the prey that Xiaoxue brought back from the deep mountains seemed to be tastier than the meat from the forests outside, so she had to get more.
Also, when Brother Liu the elder and Brother Liu the second return to the army, we must prepare some extra bacon for them to take back, and we must not bring too much.
Besides, Xiaoxue has promised Xia Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing that she will help them get more meat."
Liu Jingxue thought to herself, the meat that you think is delicious was obtained by me from the space, not from the deep mountains.
That meat is full of spiritual energy and tastes much better than other meat.
These pieces of meat are prepared for their own people to eat. It seems that I have to find a way to smuggle some prey out of the space tomorrow and put them on the road they must pass, and treat them as animals in the deep mountains.
As for the bacon promised to Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun, it can only be made from the prey Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao had caught before.
Liu Jingxue thought it through and came to her senses. She heard Grandpa Wu still chattering there, reminding them to be careful.
Knowing that Mr. Wu was worried about his grandson's safety, Liu Jingxue quickly comforted him.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa Wu, they will be fine with me here.
I won't take them to any dangerous places, just take them around the periphery.
It is better to guide than to block. If you don't take them to see it, what if they are driven by curiosity and sneak in on their own? That would be even more dangerous.
Satisfy their curiosity, let them see the danger inside, and they will not dare to mess around anymore."
Zou Lao patted Wu Lao and said, "Okay, don't worry.
Xiaoxue is a frequent visitor there and has already figured out the situation inside. With her leading the way, they will be fine.
They are not reckless children and will not do anything reckless. "
"Then you must listen to Xiaoxue and never act on your own, lest you hurt others and yourself," Old Wu reminded again.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. We won't do anything rash."
Wang Xiulan arranged, "Let's bring the prey we catch tomorrow to us for processing.
It is not convenient for us to go to your place as our place is quite remote. Just like before, we will handle it here.
It just so happens that Jianjun is injured and can't go in, so let him stay at home and do more work, so he doesn't have to eat ready-made food."
The three of them quickly agreed.
Liu Jianjun reminded, "The first batch of bacon is ready, and the second batch needs to be dried for two more days.
You should transport these two batches of bacon back tonight, our cellar is almost full.
Make room for the meat tomorrow."
In the afternoon, none of them went home. Instead, they stayed in the cowshed and played cards.
This was something Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao got from somewhere last year in order to spend the winter there.
It was quite useful during those few months of hibernation.
After all, listening to the radio consumes a lot of electricity, and there aren’t always good programs available.
Playing cards does not consume electricity, and it is a good pastime for the four elders who are used to saving money.
While cooking dinner, Wang Xiulan pulled Liu Jianjun over again to teach him how to cook. Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao also followed.
When Liu Jianjun was called away, he did not forget to look at Liu Jingxue with a resentful look, which made her laugh.
After dark, the four younger generations worked together to transport all of this year's newly made bacon to Liu Jingxue's home, and then slowly transported it to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao's homes.
After making an appointment with Zhou and Zhao to meet on the mountain early tomorrow morning, Liu Jingxue sent the three of them away with some bacon, then closed the door and went into the house.
The next day, before dawn, Liu Jingxue, who had eaten and drunk her fill, put some dry food in her arms to keep it warm, took a pot of water, and went out into the mountains.
This time, since she was bringing two people with her, she couldn't use her spiritual power to go back and forth quickly like she could if she was alone.
Instead, I could only walk there step by step, and I didn't know how long it would take. I could only bring some dry food with me in case I was hungry.
Yesterday she had reminded the other two to prepare their own dry food and water bottles.
Liu Jingxue arrived at the agreed meeting place, where Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were already waiting, dragging their sleds.
Not wanting to waste too much time on the periphery, Liu Jingxue planned to go straight ahead.
She used her spiritual sense to clear a path ahead and drive away the wild animals on the road. The three of them walked very fast, and after an hour and a half, they had reached the deep mountains.
"We are almost entering the deep mountains. We need to slow down to avoid danger," Liu Jingxue reminded.
The two of them couldn't help but get excited. After waiting for so long, they were finally going into the mountains.
Liu Jingxue didn't plan to use her spiritual sense to clear the way anymore, nor did she plan to lead them to avoid the ferocious beasts.
Just as she had said to Grandpa Wu before, if the two men were not made aware of the dangers of the mountains, it would be disastrous if they were bold enough to come in on their own.
"Do you want me to take you to see the tiger that bit off Zheng Pengcheng's wrist?" Liu Jingxue said deliberately.
Zhao Junhao asked curiously, "Xiaoxue, do you know where the tiger is?"
"I have met that tiger face to face.
Later, I ran in the mountains so many times that I occasionally encountered it and knew where it was active. "Liu Jingxue lied.
"It's just that its activity area is some distance away from here."
Zhou Mingxuan shook his head, "It's better not to go out of your way to look for it.
We promised grandpa that we would just walk around the periphery and not go too deep.
I guess they are all waiting at home. If they see us not coming back, they will be worried. "
Zhao Junhao felt a little itchy in his heart, he actually wanted to go and see the tiger.
But he didn't want his elders to worry all the time, so he didn't deny Zhou Mingxuan's proposal.
Liu Jingxue saw through his thoughts, released her spiritual sense, scanned it, and said, "There is also a tiger in the other direction, much closer than that one.
How about I take you to see this one?
There are other animals along the way that serve as our prey.”
After hearing this, the two no longer refused.
Liu Jingxue led the way and took them towards the direction of the tiger that was closer.
When she saw other wild animals along the way, she did not lead the two men to avoid them, but instead deliberately let them see them.
There are many animals in the deep mountains, and the three people will inevitably encounter some prey on the road.
The two were about to start hunting, but were stopped by Liu Jingxue.
“Don’t rush into hunting now. You guys are going in to see the world. If you drag the prey with you, it will be difficult to run away if you spot a wild beast.
There are a lot of prey in the mountains. After you have seen them, we will go back and hunt again.
Otherwise, if you drag the prey along, the bloody smell will attract many carnivores."
The two of them accepted Liu Jingxue's suggestion without thinking.
On the way, they found some herbs that could cover up their body odor. Liu Jingxue asked the two of them to pick them, grind them into juice and smear them on themselves to hide their tracks.
Although she could use her spiritual power to help the two of them form a spiritual shield to prevent the smell from spreading, Liu Jingxue felt that it would be better for them to learn how to survive in the mountains.
After all, it was impossible for her to accompany the two of them into the mountains every time. If she didn't let them learn these things, they would suffer a great loss if they came alone one day.
