Chapter Forty-Eight: The First Entry into the Fierce Mountain

Three days passed in a daze, and the affairs of the family were also dealt with. Brother www.biquge.info sent his mother-in-law Ding and black fungus to Baicaotang and Piaoxianglou respectively, and also agreed with both sides that they would not deliver goods again, and also bought some food in the town.

After breakfast that day, the eldest brother carried the only good bow in the family, arrows and baskets, and the second brother took a machete and led them along the way into the mountain to the back mountain.

Because of the late arrival, the dew on the mountain has dried up, but the road is relatively narrow, Zhang Yue'er was carried by the eldest sister and walked in the middle, the third brother walked at the end, and the eldest brother and the second brother took the lead in clearing the branches and weeds that blocked the road on both sides of the road, so that the eldest sister and the third brother who followed behind could enter.

Along the way, Zhang Yue'er nodded with satisfaction as she watched them skillfully use the camouflage, concealment, tracking, and anti-tracking skills she had taught them. They often go up the mountain, and these are all involved, but there is no system, a complete system, so they learn quickly, almost a little thoroughly, plus a few days ago in the Fallen Leaves Mountain while picking black fungus while practicing on the spot is not in vain.

She received space for the roadblocks and some plants that her eldest brother cut down, anyway, there is a lot of space inside, and the family will always use it, the more the merrier. When the harvest was almost complete, they entered the range of the fierce mountain.

This is the outermost part of the fierce mountain, Zhang Yue'er carefully looked around. The trees here are not tall, with staggered branches and layers, and they do not present a bare winter scene. The humidity inside was heavy and the wind was strong, making it look misty, eerie, and mysterious. The purple mist seen outside also did not appear at this time. Listening closely, the sound of the whirring wind, the rustling of leaves, and the sound of the surrounding wild animals walking and running can be heard, but the familiar hoarse hiss of the deep mountains is silent.

She had read the booklet left by Grandpa Yan that recorded the fierce mountain. It records the characteristics of those strange beasts in the depths, as well as some antidote formulas to restrain the poison of the fierce mountain. Just in case, they all rubbed potions on their bodies before going up the mountain and also took antidote pills, these things were still prepared when Dad was there, and they are just right to use now. The family only has enough for them to enter the mountain twice, and if they need it again in the future, they can only mix and match the herbs according to the recipe by themselves.

Zhang Jiahang took his younger siblings to a place surrounded by shrubs, he pulled a thick branch, picked up the vines growing next to the bushes, and supported the strings of thick lumps hidden inside with branches, and then used a machete to pull out a pile of weeds, and saw a black hole appear in front of him.

Looking at this cave, he recalled: "This cave was discovered by my father when he went into the mountains to look for food, and he once brought me here when he took me up the mountain to hunt before. My father took me in once, and we only stayed at the entrance of the cave, there was no light in it, it was a little clammy and cold, and if there was any danger, you would go into the cave and hide. Remember to cover up when you go in, even when you leave. ”

Zhang Yue'er carefully looked at the cave in front of her, the entrance of the cave was above the stone wall, and it was sandwiched in the crack of the mountain, and the surrounding area was covered with thick moss, and the long and thick moss covered the entire cave entrance, and it was almost impossible to find it from the outside. In addition, it was blocked by the branches of the bushes next to it and the thick vines below, and there were a few big trees next to each other in front of it, and there were weeds that had just been picked up inside, so that if the eldest brother didn't say it, he wouldn't know about it.

"Jiaze, this side is in the outermost area, you and Yue'er are near here, don't go deep, and don't go too far from the entrance of the cave. Your second brother and I will go inside, and if something is wrong, they will call us loudly, and if the situation is too late, remember to go into the cave together. ”

"yes, I see. Big brother and second brother, don't worry. I'm just going to make a few traps on the side, and I'm not going to go inside. I will also take care of the eldest sister and Yue'er, you should also be careful. ”

Zhang Yue'er also nodded, when she was at home, she discussed with the eldest brother and the second brother, but they didn't let her, if she went in with them, she wouldn't agree to her entering the mountain, so she could only follow the eldest sister and the third brother outside.

Zhang Jiahang saw that Jiaze agreed, and then took Jiaxuan inside.

Seeing the eldest brother and second brother leaving, Zhang Yueyao and Zhang Jiaze were busy along the vicinity of the cave. There are usually no people in it, and there are many more black fungus on the dead branches and wild vegetables in the mountains than in the deciduous mountains. Even the common rabbits and pheasants are also in the field of vision, but unfortunately they run too fast to catch them.

Zhang Yue'er was dressed thickly, taking small steps to follow the eldest sister to pick, occasionally looking up to carefully observe the surrounding movements.

"Third brother, third brother, come here." When picking wild vegetables just now, a fat rabbit sprang out and trotted to the tree hole, Zhang Yue'er hurriedly called someone.

Zhang Jiaze, who was continuing to make traps, hurriedly ran over, looked around and said anxiously: "What's the matter, Yue'er?" ”

Zhang Yueyao, who was not far away, also put down the basket and trotted over to hug Zhang Yue'er, touching her little face, "Yue'er, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Zhang Yue'er looked at them in a hurry, and she didn't say anything. Pointing to the tree hole under him, he hurriedly said: "Sister, let me down, I'm fine, it's a rabbit, and the rabbit ran into the tree hole below." I called the third brother to catch the rabbit. "It's a nest, it's a rare opportunity, and it's easier to catch it than to dig a trap.

took a breath, and then said: "Third brother, that rabbit ran into the hole, it should be the old nest, there will definitely be a little rabbit in it." ”

Zhang Yueyao and Zhang Jiaze looked at Yue'er's impatient appearance, and smiled and comforted: "Yue'er, don't worry, we'll catch rabbits now, they will definitely not be able to run." ”

"Well, third brother, the ones who catch them alive can be sold for more money, and we will smoke them out with fire."

"Okay, just smoke it with fire, the third brother will make a few torches now, light the fire, and wait for the eldest sister to smoke it back and forth at the entrance of the cave."

"That Yue'er is guarding by the side, and Jiaze is responsible for catching rabbits."

Zhang Yue'er saw that the eldest sister and the third brother had assigned the task, although the task assigned to her was dispensable, but she was a child, and she had a big heart, so she didn't mind, as long as she could catch the rabbit.

In less than a moment, Zhang Yue'er stood by and watched them smoke the hare. As luck would have it, the hare in the hollow of the tree was served by them. Two big and fat hares, one male and one female, and six small ones, each of the big ones weighed about 5 catties, and the small ones weighed two catties. Watching the third brother tie a nest of rabbits tightly into the basket with rattan, he thought that he could add food to the family again.
