Chapter 316: The Path Not Traveled Often
Tea map?
Lu Yu's heart moved, this is the second time that Song Ziyu has mentioned this matter after talking about the "tea map" on the train!
And she also knows when the tea map appeared!
It seems that Song Ziyu must know more about the tea map than he imagined!
Seeing that Lu Yu's face was different, Song Ziyu also felt that he might have "said the wrong thing", so he couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly, and changed the topic: "Then you mean, don't let the people in the village know our identity now?"
Seeing this, Lu Yu frowned and said with a wry smile: "Little sister, can we not change the topic as soon as we talk about the main point?"
Song Ziyu pretended to be at a loss: "Ah, the point, what is the point?"
Lu Yu said helplessly: "Don't pretend to be stupid, the key is the tea map!"
Song Ziyu smiled slyly: "Oh, you said this! I said, as long as I find tea, I will tell you, as for now, it's not the time!"
Lu Yu: "......"
At this moment, Uncle Da, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly waved his hand violently and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk, everyone, I found prey!"
Brush!
Suddenly, everyone, including Lu Yu and Song Ziyu, fell silent, and the young hunters also drew their weapons, set up their bows and arrows, and raised their shotguns! Under the command of Uncle Da, the first hunt in the mountains began.
β¦β¦
The young people in the village are all natural hunters, and Uncle Da is the most outstanding hunter in the village today.
For the winter food storage, everyone went all out, and at the end of the day, a lot of prey was harvested quickly.
And because most of these prey were small beasts that were not aggressive, Lu Yu and Song Ziyu didn't help much.
But the two of them also watched with relish, shouting and shouting together behind the hunters, and they were very busy.
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone gradually went deep into the mountains.
Uncle Da and they have their own mature rules for hunting in the mountains, as long as the sun sets, then no matter how many prey there are around, they will stop hunting.
One reason is that the environment in the mountains is very complex, and in the case of obstructed vision, this can effectively avoid unnecessary dangers.
Second, this is also the respect of hunters for the mountain, and hunting at night will disturb the rest of the mountain god, which is a great disrespect to the mountain god.
Once a sheltered place was chosen as a temporary camp, the hunters got busy.
Some set traps around to defend against wild beasts, and some started to make fires for cooking.
There is a lot of food in the mountains, and the hunters also carry dry food with them.
Because today's harvest was good, Uncle Da signaled to take out two pheasants to roast and eat them as a reward for everyone.
When hunters heard that there was game to enjoy, they were excited.
You must know that even if they go up to the mountains to hunt, they must not eat their prey casually. All the prey was given to the village by the mountain god and belonged to all the villagers.
The two deflated pheasants were quickly sprinkled with seasoning and grilled on a rack.
Uncle Da took out a leather wine bag from his waist and came to Lu Yu and Song Ziyu and sat down.
"Drinking?"
Song Ziyu shook his head with a smile, but Lu Yu nodded: "Come on!"
Uncle Da didn't say much, and directly poured Lu Yu a glass of wine, and then he picked up the wine bag and took a big sip.
"Generally speaking, if it wasn't the tea picking season, I wouldn't have taken them on this road. β
Uncle Da's eyes did not look at Lu Yu, but Lu Yu instantly understood the meaning of Uncle Da's words. If it's not the season to pick tea, don't take this road, which means that this road must lead to the place where Uncle Da used to pick tea for Uncle Da!
In other words, Uncle Da took this road in order to tell Lu Yu and Song Ziyu where those tea trees were!
Lu Yu smiled slightly and said sincerely: "Thank you, Uncle Da." β
Uncle Da pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Don't thank me, this is what Uncle Grandpa meant, and maybe it is also the will of the mountain god." β
Mountain God ......
Lu Yu followed Uncle Da's gaze and looked at the dark mountains in the distance, these simple villagers blamed everything on the gifts of the mountain gods, although this idea seems a little ridiculous and even some people feel ignorant.
But Lu Yu knows the power of faith, when people have a firm belief in their hearts, then this person will also burst out with potential power that even he can't imagine!
The two drank silently without much verbal exchange, listening to the laughter of the hunters and the crackling of firewood in the fire.
After Lu Yu drank the glass of wine in his hand, Uncle Da suddenly stood up and said, "Remember to keep your weapons by your side when you rest at night, there is another reason why I usually don't want to take this road, there are often wolves on this road." β
"Wolves?" Lu Yu was stunned.
Not far away, a young hunter happened to walk by, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Da is talking about the wolves again?" Brother Ayu, don't worry, I have followed the mountain up the mountain for more than two years, and I have walked back and forth on this road no less than ten times, and I have never seen wolves at all. β
Uncle Da glared at the young hunter and said, "How many times have you only been up the mountain, and you know everything......?"
"Don't panic, make sure the wolves know that we are not afraid of them, and if we show fear, they will pounce! We all know Uncle Da! Don't worry!" Several young hunters replied with a smile.
Some young hunters even said, "It would be nice if I really met the wolves!" Then I could buy a few more wolf skin jackets in the stockade, hahahaha......
Uncle Da frowned and said no more, he had indeed said these words many times, and it was impossible for these young hunters to listen to them if they continued to say more.
Seeing this, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Da, don't worry, we will be careful!"
Uncle Da sighed and said, "I hope the mountain god will bless us and let us go home safely this time...... Hey, is the pheasant roasted? Eat!"
β¦β¦
Two pheasants were only enough for a dozen strong hunters.
However, these hunters were already very satisfied, and they were able to eat game for two days in a row, which was like a happy New Year for them.
Lu Yu and Song Ziyu saw that the hunters were still unsatisfied, and they were also embarrassed to eat more, so after eating a piece of chicken casually, they deduced that they were full, and left the remaining meat for the hunters to eat.
And just when everyone was full of food and water, and was preparing to rest in shifts......
"Whewββ!"
A terrible howl suddenly sounded in the quiet mountain forest!
Uncle Da, who was sitting under a big tree wiping his hunting knife, trembled all over, then stood up suddenly and roared, "Wolf!"
Wolf?!
The left and right people are stunned!
But before they could react to what was going on, the same howl suddenly rang out again in all directions!
This time everyone gasped, the wolves were really coming!
