Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 495 Exploration (Subscription and monthly ticket required)
After returning, Qingyan told Chouchou and the others about her thoughts, "Have you noticed that after eating this fish, your body will feel warm. Although it is not particularly obvious, you can still feel it if you feel it carefully.

I just feel that this fish carries some kind of energy, like spiritual energy, and it would be good for people if eaten.

Since there are so many fish, why don’t we get some into our space and see if we can raise them there. If we can, we can build a pond for them or put them directly in the stream where the spiritual spring flows out.”

The reason why we don't say it's raised in a lake is that although this fish comes from an underground river, it obviously likes to live in this kind of flowing water and may not be able to survive in a lake.

Another thing is that she was afraid that once she entered the space, it would stink when she left. What if it polluted the fish in the lake?
I tried it first in the stream flowing out of the spiritual spring pond, thinking that since it was spiritual spring water after all, these fish could not adapt to the outside environment, but perhaps they could survive in an environment surrounded by spiritual energy.

To be honest, after staying here for a night and a half, they could all feel that the spiritual energy in Huanshan Town was denser than that outside.

It's not much denser. It can't be compared with the Jinyang Space, or even Qingyan's Space. The spiritual energy in her space is all emitted by the spiritual stones and the spiritual spring water brought in. If she didn't frequently change the spiritual spring water from the Jinyang Space, the spiritual energy would probably be gone soon.

The spiritual energy here is only slightly stronger than outside. The longer you stay here, the more comfortable your body and mind will be.

And they had felt the water in the river before. The water was very ordinary and there was no spiritual energy in it. This meant that the spiritual energy in the air did not come from the river water.

In other words, it did not come out from the underground river. Chouchou planned to explore the surrounding mountains and forests as well as the underground of Huanshan Town to see if there was anything to discover.

But that also takes time. After all, it cannot explore all these places at once. It has to explore one direction at a time.

They will be staying here for a few days anyway, so they have plenty of time.

You asked Qingyan why they didn't investigate separately? Of course they would investigate, but their spiritual sense was not as good as Chouchou's, and they could only see the surface. Even if they investigated, Chouchou would have to take a look at it, lest there was something they overlooked.

Because the Yang family had limited rooms, Qingyan and Qingzhu still had one room, Chouchou and Huangjin had another, Daxiong and the Yang family's horses were in the barn in the backyard, and the carriage was parked in the front yard.

They went into the space to discuss and took a shower as they didn't have time to take a shower yesterday. Qingyan had a good lunch today and was sweating all over, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

Of course, they came in only after they were sure that all the Yang family members had gone for a nap and were asleep.

After taking a shower, Qingyan gathered with Chouchou and the others in the yard to chat. While chatting, her hands were not idle. The furniture in her bamboo house was not finished yet, like the tables, chairs and benches in other rooms.

He asked Qingzhu to move over the half-finished product he had just completed, as well as some materials that needed to be processed, and they all worked together to complete it.

Although it can be done normally, it is inconvenient when traveling. When I get here, I want to have some fun with it. Now that everyone is in the space, there is strength in numbers, so I might as well just finish it.

Fortunately, they were all taught by Qingzhu, and their skills have improved significantly. Even if they cannot complete the task independently, they can still help out, process materials, and complete semi-finished products.

Huang Jin and Jin Yang, who were not very good at their job, were responsible for processing the materials, such as splitting the bamboo, bending it, and making it into strips.

Huang Jin was responsible for splitting the bamboo into strips, while Jin Yang was responsible for bending the bamboo for the table legs and frames, and smoothing out the burrs on them.

It has its own flame and there is no need to release the real fire of the sun. Just add a little high temperature to your hands and you can bend the bamboo. It is very simple and it will not be smoked black like burning on fire. It will be more beautiful after it is bent.

Qingyan and Chouchou are more skilled and can help weave the panel partitions above.

At this time, Yuanbao and Zhaocai also came over when they sensed them coming in. Of course, Yuanbao was accompanied by the little tiger who was inseparable from him.

The two big tigers didn't come. I don't know where they went.

Zhaocai surrounded them and chattered about what he had done recently, mostly about making trouble with monkeys and being hit by the monkeys with fruit cores.

Qingyan listened with a smile, without stopping her hands, until she finished the work in her hands, then she picked up the two furry creatures that were rubbing against her feet.

That’s right, Yuanbao was also in the beast torture state. He directly held the two little ones in his arms and rubbed them. It had been a while since I rubbed the furry fur. I missed it a lot. Well, the feel was still as good as before.

As soon as the two cats' fur was stroked, they lay down on the ground, making purring sounds from their throats and exposing their bellies.

Yuanbao felt comfortable with his fur being stroked, so he turned over and let her stroke his other side, asking, "Where are you guys now? Is there anything fun? Can we go out and play?"

Qingyan thought about it and decided that they could go out, but they had to go to the forest and not in the town, otherwise they would be discovered. Although with Yuanbao's fighting power, there was no need to worry about the two of them getting hurt, it would still be a problem if they were discovered.

If a tiger appeared in the town, there would definitely be a commotion, so he said directly: "We are now in a place called Huanshan Town, which is on a mountain on the way to Wanzai County. We could have taken a ferry, which would have taken less time and we could have arrived directly, but we wanted to come here to have some fun, so we came to this town.

This town is in the middle of the mountain and is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is very secluded. Not only is the scenery particularly beautiful, but the spiritual energy is also more abundant than outside.

You can go out and play in the forest, but be careful and hide when you see people. It’s best not to go near roads.”

Upon hearing this, Yuanbao and Little Tiger turned over, and one of them stood on one of Qingyan's legs and nodded vigorously.

Qingyan touched their heads. The little tiger has become smart now, although it can't speak. It can understand what they say and respond, which makes it even cuter.

Yuan Bao replied: "I understand. I will take good care of Hu Bei and stay away from people when I see them."

Qingyan was stunned for a moment before she asked, "Why did you change its name again?" Yuanbao shook his head and said, "I think this name sounds better. My name is Yuanbao and its name is Hubei. Baby, baby, it sounds more like brothers, so I changed it."

Qingyan shook her head helplessly, "Okay, whatever you guys say, it doesn't matter what you call it."

When she talked about it with Chouchou and the others, she usually called it the little tiger, and it seemed that she had never called it by its name.

Afterwards, when they went out, they took the two little guys with them. Of course, they did not bring them back to the Yang family. Instead, Jin Yang sent them directly to the forest.

They had also looked around and found that there were roads in and out of the town only on the west and north sides. As for the east and south sides, there was a very high mountain on one side and a cliff on the other, so there were no roads.

So the only way to get out is to go around, that is, either go to the west, and from the west you can get to the main road they came from before, or go out from the north, there is also a road there, and after going out you can just go south or east. It's just a slight detour, but not very far.

Jin Yang took them directly to the high mountain in the south. In addition to Yuanbao, the little tiger and Zhaocai, he let them play there first. After they had enough fun, he sent them to the cliff in the east for a walk.

Basically no one would go to these two places. Even the people in this town would go to the two mountains with roads when they go hunting. It's the same prey anyway, so if you really catch any, you'd be lucky.

Moreover, the two mountains to the west and north are not as steep and the risk factor is much lower.

They had looked around before and knew that there were indeed no ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests here, only wild boars and the like at most, so as long as enough people went up the mountain, there would be no danger to their lives.

Another thing is that Qingyan discovered that their place is different from other places. If there were so many mountains and forests in other places, there would definitely be some traps set or snares dug. In this way, they just need to go up and take a look every day or every two days, and bring back the harvest if they have any.

Here, people go directly to the mountains to hunt. Half of the village goes with them. Very few people go up the mountain alone. There is no trap on the mountain.

Qingyan thought that she could ask about this indirectly later, as she was still quite curious.

When all the members of the Yang family got up, they pretended to wake up and left the house.

Because they had just returned, even after cleaning for half a day, there were still many corners that were not cleaned up, so Yang Pingan and his wife had to continue cleaning in the afternoon.

The couple asked Yang Qiaoer and Yang Zhenxing to take them out to play.

Qingyan and the others wanted to stay and help, but were rejected by Yang Ping'an and his wife. After taking a look, they found that they were indeed some trivial jobs, such as cleaning some corners, so they did not insist and went out with Yang Qiaoer and her brother.

In fact, they felt a little embarrassed. After all, if they were not around, their two children would have been able to help out a little. But now they had to take them out to play, leaving the couple alone to do the work.

Qingyan thought about it and decided that since she couldn't help with the work, she might as well go get some food, hunt in the mountains, or catch some fish in the river.

There is no need to worry about food. Yang Ping'an and his companions had brought back a few bags of food on their carriage before, and they also pretended to have food in the box at the back, and they unloaded a bag yesterday.

Yang Ping'an and his wife tried to stop them, but Qingyan and the others persuaded them to accept it. They were so many people, and they couldn't eat and drink for free if they were staying here for a few days. Besides, it was called a bag, but it was only 50 kilograms of rice. For big-bellied people like them, they would need 50 to 6 kilograms of rice a day, so 50 kilograms of rice was not much.

The main reason is that I'm afraid that if I take out too much at once, the Yang family won't accept it. Otherwise, I would have wanted to get two bags, but I've been refusing for a long time.

Since the people they brought were unwilling to accept it, they would just use local materials and make it here. The other party would not be able to say anything else.

I did it as soon as I thought of it. I talked to Yang Qiaoer and her brother and asked them whether they wanted to go fishing or hunting.

The brother and sister chose to go hunting in the mountains without hesitation. Their parents had never taken them into the mountains, so between going hunting in the mountains and fishing in the river, the brother and sister chose to go hunting in the mountains without hesitation.

Yang Ping'an doesn't know how to hunt at all. Besides, he is the only one in his family who lives in the town. For safety reasons, he can't take the children up the mountain. What if something unexpected happens?

And they don't rely on this for a living. Their family has a shop in the town center, which they have been renting out. The money from renting the shop, plus the food and vegetables they grow themselves, is enough to cover their daily expenses.

The shop was bought for Yang Ping'an by his two brothers. He has two older sisters, an older brother and a younger brother.

The elder sister married and moved to the county, bringing her elder brother and younger brother with her to develop their careers. After they had established themselves in the county and made some money, they used their money to buy a shop for their brother who stayed at home.

That’s right, they stayed at home, their ancestral graves are here, and their ancestral home is also here.

The courtyard of Yang Ping'an's family is not their ancestral home. It was built by themselves after the family split up. The ancestral home is in the center of the town. His eldest brother specially hired someone to help take care of it. During the holidays, the two brothers would bring their families back here to reunite with Yang Ping'an's family.

As for the ancestral grave, you cannot hire someone else to take care of it. It must be taken care of regularly by the younger generations of the family. They should burn paper and burn incense at the four festivals and the graves can be cleaned at other times. No grass should be allowed to grow on or around the graves.

This time I will be away for a few months, and I have entrusted the task of occasionally visiting the graves and clearing the weeds to Yang Wu. They have the same great-grandfather, and their ancestral graves are together.

It’s just that generally everyone takes care of their own elders, and they only worship their ancestors together during major festivals. So when you go to the ancestral graves, you can tell at a glance which family has no descendants and which family still has a large population.

The shop that Yang Ping'an's brother bought was completely equivalent to the cost of paying him for looking after and maintaining the ancestral tombs and houses at home. However, it was not convenient for brothers to pay each other regularly every month or year, so they simply bought him a shop and let him collect rent, so that he had another source of income.

To be honest, the prices in the shops in the town are not very high. After all, it is such a remote place and the things sold are only bought by the town's own people. There are very few people from outside, so the business is just so-so, just enough to make a living.
