Then after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone brought enough equipment. Hua Chengtian began to lead people to explore Qinggu Mountain in three directions: east, west, north and west.
In fact, I have gone out before. The longest time I went out was five days and five nights before I came back. I always brought enough things with me when I left. But when I saw a dozen men with weathered faces coming back, it was still heartbreaking, especially the one who took the lead. A few of them were unshaven, their faces full of vicissitudes of life.

Fortunately, they were in good spirits, their eyes were bright, and they also brought back a lot of firewood collected when the prey came back. In short, everyone was not empty-handed. It should be said that they tried their best to bring more firewood. Stuff comes back.

The first thing Hua Chengtian and his two sons did after returning home was to be stuffed into a tent and take a hot medicated bath to get rid of the cold. Then they were given two full bowls of boiling ginger soup, and the others followed. Come alive.

This time they went further. Although they said they were farther, it was actually not as far as they imagined. After all, one day was only four or five hours, and they had to spare one or two hours to find a place to rest at night. Otherwise, even if Even though they were well prepared, they couldn't stay up all night.

As you go further into the mountains, the impact of the flood becomes smaller. The farther you go, the wider the exposed area at the foot of the mountain. Although there is still water, it seems that it is not that deep, and even the snow seems to be much less. The mountains blocked the cold wind and the temperature became visibly warmer.

Hua Chengtian and others couldn't help but feel happy, but they didn't find any suitable place for planting, nor the most important water source.

But Hua Chengtian always believed that such a large mountain must have a water source, otherwise how would the animals in the mountain survive.

Then it was another day of searching, and this time I was lucky, thanks to the help of the five big ones, I made the discovery.

It was halfway up the mountain. A few of them were leading the way and being on guard. Then two of them accidentally got into a place with rich vegetation.

Because of this, they discovered the narrow mountain path about two feet wide that was covered by several huge trees and bushes, and then discovered an area connected by several mountains.

No, to be precise, this should be called a valley.

It was still a valley with a high altitude, no lower than the cave they lived in.

Several connected mountains form a natural barrier. In particular, the mountain on the top of one of the stone mountains extends far into the valley like a mushroom umbrella with a corner missing, blocking most of the wind and cold air. As soon as you enter, you feel like you have entered. It feels like spring, and you can still vaguely see a lot of green.

This has to be exciting, and even more surprises are yet to come. This is a real stone mountain, with almost no vegetation visible. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole mountain is an unshakable stone, and there are even more strange and strange rocks. There are so many caves, large and small, that even if the whole Huajia Village is moved here, one family can still live in them.

The valley is very large, estimated to be the size of a dozen Huajia villages.

The reason why I say I am lucky is because I found a lake in this valley that is about the same size as the grain drying farm in Huajia Village, and at such a low temperature, the lake only has a shallow layer of ice.

There is almost no snow in the entire valley except on the mountain walls. There are trees, weeds and shrubs everywhere, but it is flat and large enough to be tidied up. It is absolutely possible to grow food.

There is water, there is space, and most importantly, a safer stone mountain was discovered. Although no particularly large caves were found, small caves of all sizes are more convenient.

This is a good place for natural seclusion. The most important thing is that it is not far away from the mountain and it is very secret. The group of people are very excited.

According to the straight-line distance, if there is no delay, the non-stop walk back to the mountain where they live will only take about ten hours at most. In fact, it is not that far.

You must know that when they enter the city, they have to walk for several days, which takes much less time than this.

And there are no traces of any large beasts here, and I don’t know if they have all hid in the deepest part of the mountain.This is absolutely good news for them. Otherwise, if it were the territory of a large beast, it would take a lot of effort to expel or eliminate it.

They stayed in the valley for a whole day without taking a break. They used the weapons they carried to clear away a lot of withered weeds and shrubs. They stayed in a nearby cave at night and carried them on their backs early the next morning. Firewood and the prey accumulated during this period rushed home in high spirits.

Time goes by very quickly when we go back. After resting overnight, we arrived home at noon the next day. You can imagine how excited everyone was.

The father and son who came back alive, as well as the five who had been scrubbed with warm water by Hua Jin and Old Man Huang, were sitting around the brazier and eating hungrily.

The young men in the big cave were the same as Hua Chengtian and others. The first thing they did when they got home was to take a bath and then eat. They all devoured their food as if they hadn't eaten for a long time.

Some of the people with shallower eye sockets began to cry and feel sad.

Normally, they would not be able to bear to stay outside for any longer. The men and their children would have frostbite on their feet for days at a time. Can you not feel distressed?
Hua Meng and the others told their families the good news about their trip after dinner, and it soon spread in the cave.

Suddenly, their tent was crowded with people who wanted to confirm the news, and everyone's face showed a little excitement.

When they learned that they had actually found a place where they could plant their crops, and that the environment there was better than what they had here, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

Everyone knows in their hearts that this disaster is so great that it will not be possible to get over it within a few years.

Floods may also cause epidemics. Going down the mountain is not necessarily as safe as going up the mountain, and what's the use of going down the mountain?Their homes are gone

Knowing that we have found a good place and can still plant, the string that weighed on everyone's hearts finally relaxed a little.

Although they are not short of food now, it is always worrying to sit there and eat nothing.

Now I'm really not afraid anymore.

As for whether it was dangerous in the deep mountains, they would have been quite scared before going up the mountain, but now they were really not afraid.

Their village is one of the largest villages around Shanggu Town. There are nearly [-] households, and each family has more than ten people. The number of strong laborers alone is at least a few hundred.

And after hiding in the cave for several months, everyone has not been idle and has been practicing. The force value has not become weaker, but has become stronger and stronger. In the past, more than ten or twenty people could not catch a single prey when they came back. Now, almost every day Everyone can gain something.

With so many of them, even wild animals would scare them away, not to mention the village chief's family has such powerful weapons.

If it hadn't been too cold to walk a long way, everyone would have wanted to move there now.

They said it was as warm as spring inside, so moving here was a good opportunity to clear out the mountainous areas early so that we could plant food when spring comes.
