Chapter 162 Are there really people living in this mountain?
After two busy hours.
Zhang Hao and Li Siyu picked as many fruits as possible from the nearby tung trees.
Even at the end of the picking, all the bags the two brought were used, and finally they were all placed on the back of the mountain god deer.
After looking at the mountain god deer's eyes full of resentment and displeasure, Zhang Hao naturally did not treat it badly. He found some herbs and some mountain food nearby, and fed them all to the mountain god deer and Xiao Bai.
Zhang Hao and Li Siyu also took this time to find an open space and sit on the ground. Li Siyu took out the meals prepared in advance from the basket.
In the morning, she prepared food for today's hike, which included some cold dishes and some more portable and convenient meals.
According to Li Siyu, today's meal at noon would be a decent meal, but according to Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao ate it very quickly and it was delicious, so he had no chance to express his opinion.
Of course, Li Siyu still did not give up shooting the video, and also took the scene of the meal at the same time, but she was very careful not to take Zhang Hao into the shot, and always kept in mind some of the rules of the mountain walker that Zhang Hao told her.
As the two of them ate up all the food in front of them.
Time has gradually come to the afternoon, when the Yang Qi is at its strongest and gradually weakens, and the Yin Qi gradually increases during this period.
After simply clearing away the dishes, Li Siyu got on the deer's back with Zhang Hao's help, and then Zhang Hao also turned over and got on the deer's back.
The two of them rode deer and continued towards the dense forest.
Next, they will look for the bark of a century-old tree and some things Li Siyu needs to use.
Li Siyu needs these things to make another ancient traditional object.
Many things from ancient Kyushu have now been lost, and she has already made plans to reproduce these lost things into a series.
In this way, she doesn't have to worry about the next video material, but every video will not be too easy.
After all, what she learned was that the production processes of those things that best reflected the ancient cultural heritage of Kyushu were extremely cumbersome and complex. This was not at all a luxury product or a purely handmade thing.
It is extremely difficult to reproduce.
Li Siyu had learned before that just for the rice paper used by the royal family in ancient times, the overall process would require more than 50 steps together, and the time span would even span as long as half a year.
It can be said that if you want to shoot a video, it will not be until half a year later that the video can be put to use and can be truly edited and provided to the audience for viewing and commenting.
Fortunately, the Tong Yan Hui Mo she chose first does not require such a long span and can be used as an appetizer. During this period, she will also start another series and shoot another video.
Just thinking about it made her feel tired and excited at the same time.
But now that she has Zhang Hao and the mountain deer, she doesn't feel too tired. Anyway, there is a mountain deer carrying her wherever she goes. Even if she wants to pick something, there is also Zhang Hao.
It is hard to imagine that without Zhang Hao, she would not have been able to obtain so many tung tree fruits in such a short period of time. Maybe she still hasn't found where the tung tree is.
Thinking of this, she lay silently on the mountain god deer's generous back, feeling the whistling of the wind in her ears, and feeling that Zhang Hao was behind her, always protecting her and preventing herself from falling.
The corners of her mouth gradually curved upward into a smile, and a look of joy flashed across her brows.
……
The Mountain God Deer was not slow. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived at the real depths of the forest from the tung forest just on the edge of the depths of the jungle.
The trees are densely packed, and there is no end as far as the eye can see. It is all green, all gray, and these two colors are intertwined.
Being here, anyone who comes in for the first time can't help but feel a little scared. The reason is very simple. There is less sunlight here than there in the Tonglin Forest. The huge tree crowns are layered, intersecting with each other in the sky, and even The whole sky was obscured.
Furthermore, no sunlight can shine in, making this dense forest even more gloomy. Looking up into the distance, there is only a gray area, still that misty gray, as if there is something hidden in it, and it will break through the shackles at any time. to the world.
Li Siyu stood there, stunned, when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.
She couldn't help but shuddered, turned her head suddenly, and looked at Zhang Hao with a smile and doubts on his face.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Hao asked.
Li Siyu shook his head: "I just looked over there, a little, a little..."
"Are you scared?" Zhang Hao looked at the misty darkness in the distance.
Li Siyu nodded: "It doesn't really count, I'm just thinking wildly."
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Well, as long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Woof!" Xiaobai also shouted, angrily flushing his sense of presence.
Li Siyu burst out laughing, rolled her eyes at Zhang Hao, and then looked around: "Are there any century-old trees here?"
Zhang Hao nodded, then casually scanned it with his naked eyes, and finally focused on a tree that was not too thick but had dark gray bark. He raised his hand and pointed: "Here, that's a tree that's a hundred years old. ”
Li Siyu looked at the trees and nodded confusedly.
Since Zhang Hao said that it was a century-old tree, she believed that it was a century-old tree. The reason was that Zhang Hao was a mountain walker. It was basically a necessary skill to know how old the tree in the mountain was.
Even if it is impossible to accurately tell the true age of this tree, it will not be too different.
Just as Li Siyu thought, Zhang Hao does have the ability to tell the approximate age of the tree just with the naked eye. This is a skill in [Guanzi Jue] that is essential for mountain walkers. In [Guanshan] There are also corresponding records in the decision. Therefore, things like this are too simple for Zhang Hao, and there is no difficulty at all.
When Li Siyu reacted, she saw that Zhang Hao had already pulled out the knife from his waist and walked towards the tree.
"How much bark do you want?" Zhang Hao asked while picking up the invasion knife in his hand.
Li Siyu thought for a while and said: "Ah, I probably need the bark of a tree..."
Centennial tree:? ? ?
Zhang Hao paused and didn't think much. He picked up the knife in his hand and cut off a piece of bark that had become warped on the surface.
Then, he focused on another tree.
It was absolutely impossible for him to peel off the bark of a tree.
It is difficult for a century-old tree to grow. If all the bark is peeled off, the tree will die.
Although a hundred-year-old tree is not a spiritual mountain spirit in the mountains, it cannot wait for its seniority. What's more, plucking a hundred-year-old tree to death is not in line with the purpose of mountain walkers.
The final solution is to take a little bit from each tree and finally collect the required bark.
As long as each tree takes a little bit, it will put no burden on the tree at all, and it is impossible to cause the death of the tree, and the bark will slowly grow back in the future.
It can also be used as a marker.
When walking in the mountains, hikers will leave imprints that they can understand or that their companions can understand from time to time, so that they will not get lost in the mountains. Once they lose their way, they can return home based on the imprints they left. Go far away and find your way home.
Li Siyu, dressed in Hanfu, stood aside, holding the mountain god deer in one hand and holding a basket in the other. Her red lips were slightly opened, her eyes flashed, and a curious look flashed across her handsome oval face.
She just watched Zhang Hao peeling off the bark of the tree skillfully, and looked at Zhang Hao walking around the trees.
From a distance, the two of them seemed to be from two different worlds. Li Siyu was from ancient times and Zhang Hao was from modern times.
And just after Zhang Hao peeled off some bark, put the invasion knife back into his waist, and stood in front of Li Siyu with the bark, the two worlds merged together again.
"Look, are these barks enough?" Zhang Hao came closer holding several pieces of bark.
Li Siyu hurriedly took it, nodded heavily and said: "That's enough, these are definitely enough."
Then, they temporarily put the bark and the tung tree fruits together in the cloth bags on both sides of the back of the mountain god deer.
At this time, Zhang Hao raised his head, squinted at the sky covered by the huge tree crown, and simply calculated the time.
"It's already 3 o'clock in the afternoon." Zhang Hao muttered to himself.
Time always passes quickly in the mountains, and I don't even feel the passage of time. Time passes easily.
The two of them went into the mountain in the morning and found tung tree fruits and century-old bark. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. They should be able to collect everything Li Siyu needs today.
However, if this was the case, Zhang Hao still felt a little regretful.
After all, he went into the mountain this time to find some spiritual seeds to plant in the spiritual soil. But now, after wandering around for a day, he still found no trace of the spiritual seeds. It seems that it is unlikely to be found today.
If this is the case, Zhang Hao will not be too disappointed. The most important thing is that when he went into the mountain today, he still found no traces of the thing that was suspected to be a mountain treasure.
You must know that the main purpose of his trip to the mountain this time is to find traces of the mountain treasure, so as to find out what the mountain treasure is, and then seize the mountain treasure.
But now it seems that this hope has come to nothing. Not to mention the trace of Shan Bao, he has not seen even a trace.
Eighty percent of the time, that mountain treasure was already hiding, maybe even temporarily, just to avoid him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao let out a sigh of relief, but quickly put this emotion behind him.
In any case, whether a mountain walker can encounter a mountain treasure is a matter of probability, or a matter of luck.
Even if you walk in the mountains many times, it is normal to not encounter mountain treasures. The first few times you go into the mountains, you can find mountain treasures. That is because Zhang Hao is extremely lucky and his luck is very good every time.
And since I had so much luck in the early stage, it doesn't matter if I'm almost unlucky these few times.
While my thoughts are wandering.
"Zhang, Zhang Hao...are there really people living in this mountain?"
Suddenly, Li Siyu said something without thinking.
Zhang Hao was stunned and looked at her subconsciously. He immediately realized that her eyes were straight and she was looking straight ahead. There was something wrong with her expression.
It's like... being in some kind of fog, or being controlled by something?
Zhang Hao immediately became alert and took out the small wooden hammer from the Guling Basket.
But in the next second, he looked where Li Siyu's eyes were looking, and his expression was stunned.
