Chapter 6 The inheritance of mountain walkers
I can’t sleep anyway, so why not just read a book.
He stood up and turned on the light to dispel the darkness in the room. Zhang Hao sat on a chair at the dining table, poured himself a glass of water, and took out his mobile phone.
Then, he opened the cover of the ancient book that was full of simplicity, looked at the regular script with dragons and phoenixes on the first page, picked up his phone, and took a photo.
Then, open the mobile translation software, input the image into the software, and click [Start Translation].
It has to be said that technology changes life.
If this had happened ten years ago, he might have taken a book and knocked on the door of an old man in the village, asking a literate old man to translate for him.
As his thoughts flashed, the phone screen glowed brightly, and the translation results appeared on the phone screen.
【Mountain Travel Notes】
【Xu Xiake·Editor·Revision】
Walking in the mountains?
Xu Xiake, editor, revision?
When he first saw these words, Zhang Hao was confused, didn't know why, and was completely confused.
Mr. Xu is actually the editor and corrector of this travelogue.
No wonder this book seems to be the type of travelogue related to mountains.
It turned out that Mr. Xu was also involved.
Focusing on the cover of the book and the title, Zhang Hao's thoughts further diverged.
Because Zhaojia Village is close to a big mountain, he has listened to some mysterious stories told by the elders in the village since he was a child.
It was like a weasel asking for a seal, a fox getting married, or even a Yin soldier borrowing a passage, etc. After hearing this, the other children were so frightened that they went home crying to find their mother.
Only Zhang Hao became more and more excited as he listened.
Gathering his thoughts, he looked at [Mountain Travel Notes].
He would like to see the difference between this travelogue written by the originator of geography and another travelogue.
Randomly opening the first page of [Mountain Travel Record], he picked up his mobile phone to take pictures and translate them.
After a while, the translation results appeared on the screen.
[Mountain Walker: Walk among hundreds of mountains, set foot in mountains and forests, search for treasures in the mountains, explore the secrets of the valley...]
Zhang Hao watched so absorbedly that he forgot the passage of time for a moment.
After more than ten minutes, he suddenly raised his head with enlightenment, his pupils dilated, he nodded thoughtfully, and muttered: "Mountain walkers... looking for treasures in the mountains and exploring mysteries in the valleys, this is quite interesting. The best way to relieve boredom.”
Zhang Hao gradually became excited and immersed in it.
It has to be said that after reading this first page, he became very interested in the profession of mountain walker.
The reason is very simple. Just from the opening chapter, it is very interesting to see the mountain walkers walking in the mountains and forests, exploring the mountains and exploring the mysteries.
Moreover, in this [Illustrated Record of Mountain Walking Travels], he also saw many descriptions of mountain spirits and wild monsters, and saw many anecdotes that he could not normally hear or see.
It is hard to imagine that in today's era of communication and mobile phones, "monsters" still exist.
But it’s normal when you think about it.
Who can tell whether there are ghosts or not in the real world?
If not, why have folklore stories been circulated all the time? But if there are, no one can confirm it.
Of course, he was just interested now, and he didn't fully believe that mountain spirits and wild monsters, as well as those so-called "monsters", really existed.
Now, it's as if he has played a game that he finds fun and decides to continue playing it.
After browsing the contents of the first page again, Zhang Hao turned to the second page and continued to take photos, translate and browse with his mobile phone.
……
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
The bright moonlight shines on the earth, and the dark clouds in the sky have dispersed. It will definitely be a sunny and good day at dawn.
Zhang Hao rubbed his sore eyes, which were slightly bloodshot, but bright, with various emotions flowing in them.
He had forgotten how long he had been reading and how many pages he had read.
He has always been immersed in the story of this "Mountain Travel Notes".
In this book, he really saw anecdotes such as a fox marrying a wife and a weasel asking for a title.
We also saw ginseng that could run, ancient trees that could talk, and various mountain treasures that we had never heard of before.
It also records some folk customs in detail, such as what kind of ceremony should be performed when walking in the mountains, when there is a funeral, and before walking in the mountains, you need to purify yourself, burn incense, worship the mountain god, worship the mountain ancestors, etc.
If you encounter a treasure in the mountains, you need to use a specific method to obtain it.
It can be said that this is not a travel diary, nor is it an ancient book recording anecdotes in the mountains and forests. Rather, it is an ancient book that allows people to understand the mysterious profession of [mountain walker] and enrich their lives.
After all, the "monsters" described in this ancient book are so lifelike, as if... they really exist. It even gave Zhang Hao a slight sense of reality. He couldn't help but believe that these "monsters" existed in the mountains. As long as he goes into the mountains, he will definitely encounter these "monsters".
Moreover, he was surprised to find that the previous generation of mountain walkers was none other than Xu Xiake, Mr. Xu.
This ancient book also contains many experiences, annotations, etc. left by Mr. Xu.
It can be said that this ancient book is a treasure left by the walkers of all generations to future generations of walkers, a real treasure!
It was from this book that he learned the secret of the mountain walker.
Searching for treasures in the mountains and exploring the secrets of the valleys is by no means an empty talk.
In an instant.
Zhang Hao slowly closed his eyes and let all the divergent thoughts gather in his mind, all gathered in one place.
He seemed to be immersed in the book, and as if he was the protagonist of the book, searching the mountains in the world, setting foot in the mountains and forests, looking for treasures in the mountains, and fulfilling the lifelong wish of a mountain walker.
This feeling was wonderful, and it made him feel satisfied, an unprecedented experience.
At this moment, he completely regarded himself as a mountain walker, taking part in it and experiencing the joy, excitement, and excitement from the heart.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again.
His eyes were clear and clean, as calm as a lake.
He turned his head slightly and looked through the window at the back at the dark mountain forest that seemed far away but yet seemed to be right in front of him. An outrageous idea suddenly came to his mind.
He wanted to be a real mountain walker.
Zhang Hao was startled by his own thoughts, his mouth opened slightly and his pupils shrank slightly.
But after hesitating for a few seconds, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a smile.
Becoming a mountain walker... doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
In fact, he has been thinking about a question since he returned from rebirth.
That's what he wants to do after being reborn.
Before his rebirth, he had no goals, no motivation, and no pressure. Li Siyu was taking care of him in every aspect, and it was Li Siyu who helped him take care of everything.
Until he finally repented and wanted to do something, Li Siyu completely left him.
At this point, he became decadent again and felt that life was hopeless, but he ended up living a miserable life.
But he couldn't live a new life, and he didn't want to live in such a muddle-headed way.
Even if it was for Li Siyu, he had to do something.
And thanks to Li Siyu's careful care over the years, he was completely raised into a real waste.
Even when doing some farm work, he didn't know how to wield a hoe.
With the advantage of rebirth, don’t even think about investing in high-quality projects in advance.
First, he had no start-up capital.
Second...
Forget it, the first one restricted him to death.
Mountain walker...mountain walker.
With the village backed by mountains, he was reborn before marrying Li Siyu.
Good location, good people.
He occupied both.
This is the time...
Why, there are so many days to occupy.
Since I haven't figured out what to do now, this mountain walker can give it a try.
Anyway, he has this [Mountain Travel Illustrated Record] in his hand. As long as he follows the instructions in this ancient book, at least he will not die of hunger.
If he could find some of the mountain treasures recorded in the book, he would immediately make a fortune.
Li Siyu won't have to work so hard then.
Looking at the dark mountain that seemed to contain many treasures, Zhang Hao smiled calmly.
Let’s start with this mountaineer.
