Chapter 3201 Fire Alarm in the Middle of the Night
Zhao Hai, who is over 2.5 meters tall and has strong muscles, stands in front of this group of people who are generally no more than 180 in height. He is still very intimidating. Those people are a little bit Looking at Zhao Hai in horror, they also quickly gathered together, each with a wary look on their face.
At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd, he bowed to Zhao Hai and said: "Dear Sir, this is Miantang Mountain, and we are all villagers of Shenjia'ao in Miantang Mountain. "
Zhao Hai nodded and said to that The old man smiled and said: "Hello, old man, I am a planter. This time I came out for a trial. I have been wandering in the mountains for a long time, so I don't know where this is. I just heard that there is something here. The sound of a wild boar, come and see if you can Let me go to your village to provide some supplies?"
When the old man heard what Zhao Hai said, he immediately said: "Welcome, I can provide you with it. Help is the pride of us Shenjiao people." Planters have been suppressed to a certain extent in Tiger Soul Country, but that is only relative to the higher-ups. For ordinary people, planters are still existences that they must respect. For them, whether they are planters They are still craftsmen, they are all adults, and they are all nobles.
When Zhao Hai heard what the old man said, he also smiled and said: "Thank you, old man. Old man, these two wild boars have not been killed yet, they were just knocked unconscious by me. You can deal with them."
Then. As soon as the old man heard what Zhao Hai said, he knew that Zhao Hai was going to kill these two wild boars. Give it to them. You must know that there are rules in the wild. Whoever catches the prey belongs to whom, and others cannot steal it. Therefore, although Zhao Hai used their net, the two wild boars were indeed knocked down by Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai didn't give them the two wild boars, they couldn't say anything.
The old man said to Zhao Hai: "Thank you, sir, for your invitation." Zhao Hai nodded and followed the old man forward. The old man called someone over at the same time and told him to go and take care of him. Deal with those two wild boars.
In addition to the three large wild boars, these people also took care of the small wild boars. They did not kill the small wild boars, but planned to bring them back to the village to raise them for a while until they killed them. I'll kill them when I get older.
This time they returned from hunting with a full harvest, but the old man didn't care so much. He kept leading Zhao Hai forward, while Zhao Hai was talking to the old man while paying attention to the surroundings. plant.
From the old man, Zhao Hai knew that Mian Tang Mountain was a very ordinary mountain among the 100,000 mountains, and Shenjia'ao was in a small col at the foot of Mian Tang Mountain. It could be said to be isolated from the world. From their place to the nearest In the city, it takes about five days to climb over three mountains and walk to the official road, and it takes about three days to walk from the official road to the city.
In other words, it would take at least eight days for them to walk from their village to the outside city, which would take more than half a month.
But now Zhao Hai has entered Shiwanda Mountain. The situation here is like this. There are more mountains and less flat land. There are many roadless places and few roads. This is what other The reason why people cannot invade the Tiger Soul Kingdom is because there are too few roads in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and there are too many mountains. If the Tiger Soul Kingdom is invaded by foreign enemies, they can destroy the mountain roads in the shortest time. Then attack the enemy from the woods.
Because the people here in Huhun Country have lived here for most of their adult life, and it is common for them to cross mountains and ridges, so they have the most powerful attack power in mountain battles.
Shenjiaao was not very far from where they were hunting. After walking for only more than an hour, they came out of the woods. Not far outside the woods, there was a mountain col. The area is not very big, a small one The village is located in the mountain col. This small village has only a few dozen households at most. They are all made of wood and are scattered scattered in the mountain col. Food is also grown on some gentle slopes of the mountain col. Everything that can be grown in the mountain col is grown. Food is grown on all the flat land in the east and west.
Looking at this small mountain village located in the mountains, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh. This person's ability to survive is really very strong. A place like this is really not suitable for people to survive. There is very little land that can be cultivated. , the transportation is also very inconvenient. In such a place, even if people are busy all year round, they can only get enough food and clothing at most.
Zhao Hai entered Shenjia'ao under the leadership of the old man. When the people in Shenjia'ao saw a stranger coming back with the hunting team, they were all very curious. When they saw Zhao Hai's He was so frightened that the women and children even hid in the house and did not dare to come out.
Zhao Hai has nothing to do about this situation. His body is not the same as before. With his current height and muscles, to ordinary people, he looks like He is a giant, as scary as a monster, so it is normal to avoid him.
But the old man looked at Zhao Hai with some worry. He was really afraid that Zhao Hai would be unhappy. When he saw that Zhao Hai didn't look unhappy, he felt relieved. He was deeply concerned about Zhao Hai. He said in a voice: "Sir, please come with me. Your Excellency will be with us today." How about resting at home?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." The old man led Zhao Hai forward, and soon they came to a large wooden house. There are three wooden houses in total, and they look very grand.
As soon as the old man walked to the wooden house, an old woman walked out of the wooden house. The old woman was also shocked when she saw Zhao Hai. She turned to look at the old man. The old man looked at him and said in a deep voice. : "This master planter was on trial in the mountains and happened to pass by us. He was going to rest here for a night and prepare food for you." The old woman responded, turned around and left.
Zhao Hai turned to look at the old man and said: "Old man, I have been chatting with you for so long, but I still don't know your surname?"
The old man smiled and said: "Sir You're so polite, little old man, my surname is Shen, and our entire Shenjia'ao All the people here have the surname Shen. Please sit in the room." Zhao Hai nodded and followed the old man into the room. Once inside, this room was a small living room. In fact, it was not considered a living room. It was just a place for decoration. I bought an Eight Immortals table, nothing special about it. The old man asked Zhao Hai to sit down and poured tea for Zhao Hai himself. In a place like this, it is impossible to have tea at home. Tea is definitely a luxury product for them, so Zhao Hai can only drink plain water.
But Zhao Haidao was not used to anything. When he was in the wild these days, all he drank was plain water, so he didn't care at all.
After drinking a bowl of water, Zhao Hai looked at Mr. Shen and said, "Mr. Shen, are you and your aunt the only ones in your house? The child is not at home?"
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "I won't hide it from you, sir. He said, little old man, when I was young, I worked as a steward in a caravan in the city outside the mountains. Later, when I got older, I returned to Shenjia'ao. However, my boss took a fancy to me and let my two sons join his caravan. Now both children are serving as stewards in the caravan."
Zhao Hai ordered. He nodded and said: "So that's it, then I have to congratulate you, Mr. Shen." Mr. Shen smiled and didn't even dare to say, but he looked very proud.
Looking at Mr. Shen’s appearance, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile, but he didn’t pay attention and chatted with Mr. Shen casually. After a while, Aunt Shen had already prepared the food. Although there is nothing good in the mountains, because they are all hunters, there is still a lot of meat, but here they mostly have bacon and very little fresh meat.
Although the hunting team came back from hunting today, the prey has not been divided yet, so there is no fresh meat to eat. Zhao Hai didn't care. He didn't have much to eat, although he collected a lot. Animals entered the space, but he also ate wild game along the way. Now he had bacon with a unique flavor, which was very appetizing.
After dinner, the old man cleaned up Zhao Hai's room and asked Zhao Hai to rest. Zhao Hai really wanted to have a good sleep, so he thanked Mr. Shen and went to sleep in the room given to him. .
He slept until dark, and Zhao Hai didn't get up. As soon as he came out of the room, he saw Mr. Shen processing a piece of meat. This piece of meat was fresh pork. It seemed that it had been beaten today. Wild boar meat.
Seeing Zhao Hai come out, Mr. Shen quickly stood up and said: "Sir, you are awake. Please drink some water. Dinner will be ready soon."
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "You're welcome, Mr. Shen. You're busy. By the way, I want to ask, is there anything in the village that needs my help? Especially about plants?"
After Shen Laoyi heard what Zhao Hai said, he thought for a while and said: "This is really not the case. There are very few crops in our village, and there are no diseases. It's just that the output is not high because of land problems. This It’s not about plants and things, it’s because most of the land in the village is mountainous, so the yield cannot be high, and there is nothing else.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "This is best. If there is anything in the village that needs my help, please speak up. I am very embarrassed to disturb the village this time. If I can do something to help the village, I will too." Very happy.”
Mr. Shen quickly thanked him. Soon, dinner was ready. Zhao Hai went to rest after dinner. He originally wanted to buy some salt in the village. Although he still had some salt, there was not much left. It could only be used for a month at most. But once he saw the situation in the village, Zhao Hai was embarrassed to buy salt in the village.
Shenjiaao is too far away from the city. It is too laborious for them to go out to buy things. If he buys things from the village, the village will have to go to the city to buy salt. It takes half a month to go back and forth, which is really troublesome, so Zhao Hai did not mention buying salt, but just planned to rest for one night and leave Shenjia'ao tomorrow.
Zhao Hai has been in the mountains for a long time. Although there are animals watching for him when sleeping in the mountains, it is not every day that he can find a good place to sleep. Today he finally arrived in the village, although that The bed was a bit small, but Zhao Hai still felt very comfortable, so he went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Hai was suddenly awakened because a few bugs he released sent him a signal saying that there was a fire in the village.
Zhao Hai jumped up from the bed, opened the window and looked outside, and found that the entire village had been plunged into a sea of fire. Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Hai's heart couldn't help but sink.
