545. Camping deep in the mountains(2/3)
It was originally a forest here, but the trees were cut down and placed around them to form a fence. There was a horse-resistance at the door, forming a simple camp.
At this time, some burdens were falling here, and some people in the camp were busy making fires and making meals.
The man was dressed in a weird way, wrapped all over his body in a black gauze dress, wrapped tightly from head to toe.
Seeing them coming, an old man with gray hair and beard came out and bowed, "I wonder where you are from? Are you going to Litan Village?"
Xie Hama was surprised and said, "Oh, we have left Jingchu and entered Shu County?"
Qingfu ran fast!
The old man smiled and said, "It's almost the same. This is the border between the two places, and it can't be said to belong to any other place."
A big man wrapped in black clothes walked up behind him. His voice was hoarse and dull, and he said vigilantly: "Old Zhou, the camp cannot accommodate so many people."
Even if he could hold him, he didn't want Wang Qilin and his group to move in. After all, they had few people and cargo, and there were many people on the other side. Once someone was plotted against, it would be difficult to deal with.
This kind of deep mountains and old forest is the most dangerous. Except for the familiar mountain people, no one else can trust it. Instead, it is better to deal with the mountain people who seem to be arrogant and unreasonable in the outside world.
The reason is very simple. There are few business travelers in the mountains. The salt and cloth that the mountain people need are all brought in by merchants. The animal skins and herbs they collect on weekdays also need to be sold to merchants before they can be exchanged for money.
The old man looked at Wang Qilin and others in embarrassment. The strong men who were burning in the camp stood up and silently surrounded the door in arcs.
He was covered in black clothes, looking deep and gloomy.
Xie Mao looked at them with thoughts.
Chen Yi was upset when he saw this, he grabbed a huge horse and threw it aside with one hand, and said with a grin: "Amitabha, keep people from thousands of miles away?"
Wang Qilin pressed his shoulder and said, "Teat, forget it, this place comes first and then comes. We are indeed crowded, so find a place to camp again."
The old man Zhou looked behind them and saw the old man from the Qingfu clan, so he hesitated again.
He saw that Wang Qilin and his group were not mountain people, but they were not sure where they came from, because they were dressed in the north but brought old women without children, which was really strange.
The strength that Chen Yi showed did not shock the big men, but instead aroused their fighting spirit.
These great men have the cultivation level, stand proudly at the door, with a look of dignity.
Ma Ming asked, "Brothers in the army?"
The big man who had spoken before changed his expression slightly, and he couldn't help but touch his waist.
A hilt carved from an old cow's horn appeared on his waist.
Ma Ming said: "I have worked as a soldier in the mountain forest army. Your standing posture and standing position are obviously the result of military training."
The big man nodded silently and said, "It turns out that they are brothers of Shanlin Mengjun. We have also served as soldiers and are guarding the southwest border under the command of King Huan."
Wang Qilin noticed that when Ma Ming revealed his military identity, the men behind seemed to become particularly alert.
He felt that this group of people must have some problems, and staying with them might not be sure to get into any trouble again.
Now he has two sets of tools to accommodate, one is Mirage Candle and the other is Taoist ship.
Mirage candles cannot be used in these mountains, and there is not enough open space to support the large house.
The Taoist ship is more suitable. They have been walking in the mountains for a day and have seen many pools.
There is a pool next to this camp, which is probably true. Since this hill has been selected as the camp, there must be water sources nearby.
There are large small trees beside the pool, with a fresh fragrance.
Xie Hata said this was called Xiangchang. Hei Dou asked with concern: "Can you eat it?"
"cannot."
Black Bean shook his head in disappointment: "Then it is not as powerful as the banana tree."
Xie Hata was stunned. It was just two kinds of trees. Why is it related to whether it is powerful or not?
Seeing his face blank, Heidou gave him a smile that saw through the truth: "The banana tree can stew meat, but it cannot, it is not powerful."
Xie Hata understood his logic and it turned out that this kid had contacted the plants and trees with food.
So he said happily: "But camphor wood can be used to roast chicken, roast rabbit, grilled fish. It is very fragrant. The roasted one can flow oil. Oh, think about it, wash the chicken and roast it on the heat. At first it is white, gradually turning brown. The chicken oil comes out little by little, sprinkle with some salt..."
Black beans are really greedy and crying.
Xu Da and others rolled up their trousers and went down the pool. There were fish in the pool, and they wanted to fish here.
The white ape entered the forest with a sword. He said he was going to hunt a wild boar and come back to roast it.
It just rained, the air was very humid, there was no wind in the mountains, and it was uncomfortable to stick water vapor to people.
Yang Dayan took the initiative to look for dry firewood with crutches, but Jiuliu turned his head to look at the forest, and then strange steps came. It was Mr. Zhou who had communicated with them in the camp before and two big men.
The two men were also covered in black clothes, and each carrying a large bundle of chopped firewood on their shoulders.
After Mr. Zhou came, he signaled them to put down the firewood, clasped his fists and apologized and said, "My heroes, I'm sorry, the camp at Shangtou is not large. We came a few steps earlier and took it first, which led to you being able to sleep in the edge of the pool now. I'm really sorry."
Wang Qilin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is so polite, this is nothing."
Mr. Zhou was still full of apology: "I can't help you, but I guess you didn't prepare dry firewood. A heavy rain just now made the firewood in the mountains wet, so I'll give you some dry firewood for a while."
Wang Qilin said: "This really solves our urgent needs."
The soldiers put down the firewood and turned around and walked back immediately.
Mr. Zhou apologized politely and then left backwards.
Wang Qilin tilted his head and looked at their departure backs with interest, and asked Xie Hama, "Master Dao, what do you think?"
Xie Hama said, "It's an enemy, not a friend, not a friend, not an enemy, what do you think? The old Taoist viewed on the wall, haha."
Wang Qilin looked at Mutou and asked, "Do you dare to use it?"
He was worried that the other party would be tampering with it.
Xie Hata picked up the wood and stuffed it on Ba Miao and Jiuliu's nose. Ba Miao slapped it away.
Jiuliu sniffed obediently and shook her head to indicate that there was no problem.
Xiang Peihu came over and sniffed it again, and said, "Ordinary elm trees are very resistant to burning."
There is no problem with the firewood. They were carefully cut open with knives and axes, and they were cleaned up neatly one by one.
The green ducks simply surrounded two fire pits with stones, put firewood in, and the flames quickly burned.
Xu Da and others were tossing and not making any fish in the pool. They were very frustrated and said fiercely: "Damn it, I'm going to roast the toad tonight!"
The little green ducks swimming in the pool rushed out one after another.
Wang Qilin cursed: "Your mother! Can you stop scaring them? We are all our own people!"
Xu Da smiled bitterly and said, "They misunderstood the uncle. The uncle didn't want to scare them. The uncle meant to roast the frogs in the mountains and the toads."
Fat May Day said angrily: "That can't be roasted either!"
Wang Qilin shook his head, and when he opened the door, the sword suddenly exploded into the pool.
Several fish suddenly turned white and their belly popped up.
Just as the army in the camp came down to fetch water, he saw that Wang Qilin could control the flying sword, and subconsciously shouted: "Shushan Feijian Immortal?"
Wang Qilin took back the door opening sword and smiled and said, "No."
Everyone looked at Junhan together, dozens of eyes staring at him. He carefully cleaned up the black clothes, never asked anything again, and honestly fetched water and left.
It was impolite to come but not go, Wang Qilin took two fat fish and asked Junhan to take him away.
The pool is clear and surrounded by camphor, which can produce small fruits. The fruits fall into the pool all year round to feed the fish inside. These fish are big in size, have no strong fishy smell, and look quite plump.
After the army left, Wang Qilin continued to fry fish.
Since they were going into the mountains and fields, Sui Sui's wife saw many dry cakes and asked, "Do you want to make a fish soup cake?"
Wang Qilin held her wrist affectionately and said, "You don't have to be busy, just let Mr. Xu go to work. He likes to work."
Xu Da was speechless.
Hei Dou waved his hand and shouted, "No, no, the old man made it not delicious, but the aunt made it delicious. I let my aunt make it."
Madam Sui Sui gave him a giggle and said, "You really love your aunt."
Hei Dou covered her head and grinned, then came up to help Sui Sui's wife blow her fingers: "I don't hurt my aunt."
Sui Sui rolled up her sleeves and went to the edge of the pool. After sitting down, she saw that the pool was calm, so she carefully washed it.
Yang Dayan came up to help cook raw fish and smiled and said, "How can I let my wife get fishy? Come on, my wife will take care of her later."
He is also an expert in using knives. After turning the knife around the fat fish for a few times, each fish will be processed cleanly.
The white ape male did not hunt wild boars but hunted a wild deer, which was even more delicious. When the lady Sui Sui saw that it was a male deer, her eyes lit up.
They laughed and washed the big deer in the stream. This male deer was actually not delicious and had no castration, which led to a fishy smell in the blood of the venison deer. Wang Qilin was forced to drink two bowls of deer blood.
However, the blood of the wild deer was really nourished. He looked at the true essence and saw that the true essence was gently aroused, it became more sticky.
Seeing this, he tasted the sweetness and started drinking it on his own initiative.
Everyone looked at him and he explained: "I just broke through the seventh level recently and needed to consolidate my foundation and cultivate my essence. No, I need to stabilize this cultivation level. This deer blood can increase my true energy, so I have to drink more."
Xu Da patted his shoulder and said, "You don't need to explain, you know what you understand. Drink, no one is allowed to touch the blood of this deer. This is my Qi Master."
