Chapter 146: Request for help
Chapter 146 Asking for help
Zhou Hansheng’s thinking was actually similar to Zhao Liya’s. After hearing Zhao Liya’s words, he was a little bit hesitant, and then disappeared, giving Zhong Jing a wink.
Zhong Jing and him had always had a tacit understanding, and now they understood. He only said that he and his party were members of the Escort Bureau, and they came here to look for good wood. After many inquiries, they found out that there was one at Wujianfeng, so they decided to come and see it in person.
The vast area around the Yanluo Mountain range is lush with lush vegetation and forests, especially the trees. Zhong Jing's words sounded reasonable, but Lizhu asked some other questions, and finally went to guard and believed them.
Especially when Zhong Jing politely and sincerely expressed that he wanted to ask them for help and would pay them, Lizhu was even more happy.
He smiled and said: "Then you are lucky, you met my sister and the others, and came to our ancient bead tribe. Don't worry, with our help, you can find any kind of tree you want!"
Zhong Jing smiled and thanked.
That night, Zhao Liya and the others stayed in the ancient bead tribe for the night.
A lot of paddy fields opened up near the days of the Guzhu tribe. Liying proudly told Zhao Liya that their rice crops three times a year, but the output seems to be very low, so their life is not easy.
Belongs to that kind of normal year. You can barely hold your stomach with hard work all year round, but it is difficult to say that you want to eat a lot, a lot of hearty food, and make a few sets of clothes.
They grow their own cotton and sisal, and make their own clothes. They don’t easily go out to buy them because they have no money. Some of them have never touched copper coins in their entire lives, let alone silver.
The only thing that needs to be exchanged with the outside world is salt, which is usually exchanged with chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep.
Because I don't understand the trading situation outside, I will occasionally be tricked by others.
Zhao Liya and his party were accepted as friends by them, and they steamed glutinous rice and slaughtered sheep to entertain them at night.
In the big pot, mutton bones and mutton cut into small pieces are boiled, gurgling and steaming, and it is very fragrant.
Zhao Liya felt sorry again.
Fortunately, I brought a lot of banknotes on this trip. When the time comes, I will take them out to buy more things and leave some banknotes for them.
They don't have sweet potatoes, corn, let alone potatoes, only some soybeans, cowpeas, taro and the like can be used as food supplements.
There is also a kind of yam, not a potato, but a plant with purple-red leaves that looks like a canna. The stem is like a **** block, but several times larger than a **** block. The skin is white, and the tip is a little purple. This stem Pieces can be eaten steamed or buried in the ashes in the stove hole like sweet potatoes.
This yam is particularly oily, and it’s okay to eat a little once in a while, but if you eat it often, your stomach will not be able to stand it. Not only will it not satisfy your hunger, but it will make you feel even hungrier.
Tonight, Li Ying and the others steamed some taro and chestnuts together. Zhao Liya tasted it and thought it tasted good, with a very special fragrance.
She made an agreement with Li Ying to bring some **** seeds when she went back.
Come back next time, bring them some sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, let them grow, it is better than these.
By the way, bring some to the people in Zhongshui Village.
Early the next morning, Lizhu and Liying led a dozen healthy young people to Wujian Peak with them.
With Lizhu and the others leading the way, it was indeed much more convenient.
It took almost a day to finally arrive.
It was dark and Lin Mao was unable to move, so everyone found a suitable place to stay overnight, and planned to go out in batches to look for it tomorrow morning.
Before coming here, Zhao Liya had already drawn several pictures, and described to everyone what the yellow rosewood and small-leaf red sandalwood looked like.
In the depths of Yanluo Mountain, almost no one visits on weekdays. Not only are the trees extraordinarily tall, but there are also a lot of wild animals, more than Zhao Liya and the others went hunting in the mountains when they were in Yancun.
Although everyone brought some food from the ancient Zhu tribe, most of them still had to be obtained on the spot, otherwise what would they eat.
Zhong Jing, Zhao Nan, etc. have high martial arts skills, precise arrow techniques, and never miss their shots. Lizhu, Liying, etc. were amazed and praised again and again, staring at stars, admiring and admiring, and even their attitude towards them was much better.
Sure enough, it is easier for the strong to win people's hearts wherever they are.
Zhao Liya heard their exclamations and cheers, and couldn't help but glanced at Zhou Hansheng and smiled, thinking that Brother Zhou was reserved and didn't take action easily, otherwise, wouldn't it make them worship him somehow.
After everyone settled down, there were wild fruits on the hillside not far away. Liying took Zhao Liya to pick them together, and Hu Ling and Yu Xiaofang also followed.
Then they saw yams on the ground, and the four simply dug them up there.
Zhou Hansheng took a few people to check the terrain nearby, and the others were either setting traps and tripwires near their residences, collecting firewood, or hunting, and the division of labor became busy.
Wujianfeng is not a mountain, but a large area, and there are several big mountains that can be counted.
Even though there are quite a few of them, if they want to find yellow rosewood in this area, it is difficult to say that they will be able to find it tomorrow.
If you can't find it, you still have to come back here to spend the night, but you can't make the place any safer.
Fortunately, Zhong Jing and his men actually hunted down a big wild boar.
They processed the wild boar by the side of the ditch far away from the station, and threw all the internal organs into the water to save the fish in the water, cut the meat into large pieces, cleaned them, and brought them back.
Even after this treatment, the pure meat still weighed 1670 catties, which made everyone very happy.
I can have a full meal of barbecue at night.
Li Ying was very envious: "You are so powerful, the big wild boar is very fierce. We are most afraid of encountering such a big wild boar when we go up the mountain. We dare not provoke them at all. I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
It’s only been a while since I went out, and I came back after hunting such a fat wild boar.
You must know that their tribe is greedy for meat from time to time and also wants to go hunting in the mountains. There are the most wild boars, so they often become their hunting targets.
But they only dared to hunt small wild boars, avoiding big ones.
Where wild boars often appear in groups, few are left alone.
They are even more afraid to do anything when they are in groups.
Otherwise, the consequences would be worse than stabbing a hornet's nest.
Therefore, based on this calculation, in fact, there are not many successful hunts throughout the year.
Everyone in the Guzhu Tribe was as envious as Liying.
Zhong Jing laughed loudly: "What is this? After we get the wood we need, Tete will find two days to take you into the mountains to hunt. We specialize in hunting wild boar nests, and keep them for you to hunt down countless!"
Everyone in the ancient bead tribe was overjoyed, and happily agreed repeatedly, patted their chests and promised that they would get the wood for them soon.
They dare not mess with wild boars, tigers and wolves, but they are familiar with trees!
There is no tree in the mountains that they don't know.
