I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 98 Prey by the water
Later, they bought geese, seeds, and two brand-new knives. They walked around and ate, and saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, so they stopped thinking about continuing and carried large and small bags. Things went home quickly.

On the way back, the dark clouds rolled in from the sky became thicker and thicker, and the sky became darker and darker. They thought it was a sign of the coming storm, and pedestrians like them were so scared that they hurried back as fast as they could.

However, as we walked, a cool breeze suddenly blew in the quiet mountain forest, the birds started up, and leaves, dead branches, and wild sand danced in the air.

As soon as the wind blew, without realizing it, the black clouds were blown away by the wind, and the thick dark clouds were completely wiped away. Looking at the tail of the dark clouds that were swept away, Zhou Chenyu suddenly felt a chill coming over him, exposed in the air My neck and arms were so cold that goosebumps appeared.

The weird weather in Nanling is unpredictable, and the transition from summer to autumn only happens in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Chenyu did not expect that in ancient times thousands of years ago, the strange and unpredictable weather would not change at all.

She tightened her thin clothes and her body began to tremble. "When I went out in the morning, it was still summer. As soon as the afternoon came, it was autumn. There was no warning at all."

"This black-hearted God! He is determined to give us a cold before he gives up. He has ruined the good mood of the whole day!" Baoyu was blown into his eyes by the wind and sand. He scolded and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he was not too busy holding them in his arms. The treasure inside.

Li Xiuju looked at the paddy fields in the distance. The sudden coldness caused the men who were repairing the fields to abandon their farm tools and hurried home barefoot to add more clothes. The seedlings that had been damaged by the flood had just been replanted and had not yet grown. From a distance, the crisscrossing paddy fields look like thin mirrors. When the wind blows, ripples rise in all directions.

She sighed, "Yes, the days go by so fast. It's autumn in the blink of an eye."

All things revive in spring and reproduce and grow in summer. It is not advisable to be too murderous. Once the cool climate arrives in autumn, you will start to think about hunting in the mountains.

Although his name was elegant, Zhou Wenbin was a good hunter. With this job, he not only brought up Zhou Wenwu, the white-eyed wolf, but also raised a large family.

Zhou Chenyu heard that a few years ago when he was still alive, he asked Baoyu to follow him into the mountains to teach him, planning to teach Baoyu the hunting skill when he was old.

However, fate is not as good as anyone. Baoyu had just learned a little bit about it when Zhou Wenbin fell ill and had no choice but to leave the mountains early. Unexpectedly, after this trip, he could never return to the hut in the mountains and forests where he had lived for half his life. One glance.

A few nights before leaving, the family gathered around the lampstand. Baoyu put on Li Xiuju's newly made clothes and spun around slowly, "Mom, the cuffs seem a bit big! In the mountains, it is better to wear lighter clothes for easier movement."

"Really? Take it off, mother will change it again." Li Xiuju took off the clothes, measured the size of Baoyu's wrist, and absentmindedly embroidered the cuffs of the new clothes. Suddenly her thumb was pricked by a fine needle, and a drop of blood seeped out.

Zhou Chenyu saw the panic in Li Xiuju's eyes, and Baoyu also panicked: "Mom, are you okay?"

Li Xiuju shook her head and murmured uninterestedly, "In two days, you two, brother and sister, will go into the mountains. We haven't been back to that house for nearly a year. I don't know if the house is good or bad, and whether it can still be inhabited?"

An old treehouse in the mountains.

Undeveloped deep mountains and old forests.

Zhou Chenyu turned the self-defense knife in his hand and lowered his eyes in deep thought.She followed Baoyu to the mountains and relied on him to learn some superficial skills for several months. To be honest, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

It's just that there is a mountain of money, which blocks all their business opportunities, and there is no farm or land at home. They have been relying on buying a few cages and dustpans to earn some money, which can provide them with food and clothing for a short period of time, but once they need money After all, it is not a long-term solution.During this season, wild beasts hiding in the deep mountains and old forests come out to store food for the winter. After a year of hunting cessation, the animals have grown fat.

Regardless of whether they are pheasants, rabbits, foxes, wild boars, wild deer, or goats, especially those caught alive, the price when sold in the market is much higher than that of domestic poultry.

If she and Baoyu can catch a few, this year will be better, and the next year will have a bottom.

On the contrary, even if they are unlucky and cannot encounter wild hunting, they can still make a lot of money by digging up some precious medicinal materials and selling them to drug stores, or collecting rare things that are rarely seen in the city.

Baoyu was a little dazed, but she had brute strength. She couldn't do physical work, but she had a flexible mind. The two of them could work together and give full play to their respective advantages, and they could always make a breakthrough.

She didn't believe that Qian Rushan's hands could reach deep into the mountains.

Starting from Zhoujiacun to the old tree house in the mountains, the one-way trip takes more than a day. First, we walk on the main road for several hours, and then climb the mountain trails for several hours. It takes ten and a half days to go down the mountain. .

The old tree house has been unoccupied for more than a year, and the things that were left there in the past are probably not of much use. Therefore, Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu had to bring a lot when they went to the mountains for the first time, so they made a special A pallet truck.

In addition to clothes and quilts to keep out the cold, they also need to bring pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt needed for daily life, emergency medicine for injuries caused by injuries, knives and crossbows for hunting, hammers, nails and saws for repairing the house, and native dogs to guard the gates. soy.

With everything ready, Li Xiuju specially picked an auspicious day for travel. Before dawn, the family gathered together for a hearty breakfast, loaded everything into the car, tied it up, and set off.

Li Xiuju stood outside the door, waving her hand, "Chen Yu, Baoyu, you must be careful, put yourself first in everything, go early and come back early! Mom is waiting for you at home."

Baoyu dragged the cart and had no time to look back. He only shouted: "Mom, I know!"

Zhou Chenyu turned around with the lantern and gave Li Xiuju a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, we will take care of ourselves, old lady, it's cold, please go back quickly!"

After saying goodbye to Li Xiuju, the two siblings turned and left together. They walked out of the entrance of Rongshu Village and Zhoujiacun gradually disappeared into darkness.

Zhou Chenyu had never walked this road to the old tree house in the mountains before. Except for her and Baoyu, the surroundings were dark and silent. The cold wind kept blowing through the woods on both sides, and it felt cold and eerie on the face, as if Something invisible blew in my ears.

In all the time she has been here, she has never tried walking at night like this.

Zhou Chenyu was lighting the way ahead, holding the lantern in his hand tightly, looking in all directions and listening in all directions, and recited three times:
"Prosperity, democracy, freedom, harmony..."

"Prosperity, democracy, freedom, harmony..."

"Prosperity, democracy, freedom, harmony..."
