Chapter 49: There's a Birdman There (Page 1/1)

Everyone walked in the mountains for another day, and finally saw a faint figure of a house not far away.

Bai Jinxiu pointed there and said, "That's where our sect is located." ”

After Ji Biao put his hand on the pergola and looked there, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is it finally here?" After walking for a few days, I'm really tired, which is more tiring than I have fought a few battles. ”

Xiaowen smiled and said, "It's still far away." Haven't you heard of Wangshan running a dead horse? If we want to return to the sect from here, we will have to walk for at least half a day. ”

Ji Biao looked depressed when he heard this.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "That's the truth." Walking in the mountains, it is often close to the road, but far away, after all, the mountain road is rugged and winding, and the height is uneven, which cannot be judged by the experience on the flat ground. The Loess Plateau on the other side of Shaanzhou, with ravines and ravines, often people from two villages can chat and sing across a ditch, but if you want to go to the opposite village, it takes at least half a day, sometimes even a day or two. ”

A few people continued to walk on.

However, the road is much easier than before. Most of the trail is on the ridge, and although it is winding and rugged, there is no need to drill through various holes.

Along the way, I saw many figures. Some are hunters, hunting in the mountains with long-legged and thin-waisted hounds.

The hunters were all in good shape, skilled and precise in their bows, and they worked well with the hounds.

A hunter aimed his bow and arrow at an elk grazing in the distance, but after a moment he suddenly lowered his bow and arrows and looked elsewhere.

Ji Biao asked strangely, "Why didn't the hunter suddenly shoot it?" ”

Bai Jinxiu said: "These hunters are all outer disciples of the sect, and their main business on weekdays is hunting and farming. He let the elk go, and eighty percent saw that the elk was pregnant. There is a rule in the sect that if you encounter a young beast or a pregnant female beast or a female beast with a small beast while hunting, you must release it and cannot shoot it, otherwise you will be punished. ”

Ji Biao asked curiously: "Then you can't shoot this, you can't shoot that, wouldn't it be difficult to shoot the prey?" ”

Xiaowen pursed her lips, looked at him with disdain, and said, "It's really stupid." There are many birds and beasts in this mountain, and even if you let some go, you won't be left hunted. The suzerain said, if it is not against the agricultural time, the grain cannot be eaten; The number of dogs does not enter the pond, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten; The axe catty enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber is not usable. You don't understand such a simple truth, it's really a big deal. ”

Ji Biao was despised, scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "Childe, what does she mean by this, I can't understand a word." ”

Jiang Chuan smiled: "Let you read more on weekdays, now you are despised." Xiaowen's words are from "Mencius", which is the words of Yasheng Mencius to advise King Hui of Liang. The general meaning is that if the agricultural production season is not delayed, the grain will not be eaten. If the net does not go down to the pond, fish and turtles and other aquatic products will not be eaten. If you go into the mountains to cut wood in a certain season, you will not run out of wood.

This hunting is the same reason, not killing the baby beast and the pregnant mother beast, so that the baby beast has a chance to grow, so that it can provide a steady stream of prey. If you dry up and fish, you will soon have nothing to hunt. To put it simply, it is to implement a sustainable development strategy. ”

After listening to Jiang Chuan's explanation, Ji Biao suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Childe is really knowledgeable. I understand it all. ”

Xiaowen gave him a roll of the eyes.

Bai Jinxiu's eyes lit up, and she praised softly: "Brother Chuan, the sustainable development strategy you said is really interesting, it sounds fresh, but it has a deep meaning when you think about it." If the master knew about it, he would definitely praise it. ”

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that a casual sentence from his previous life would win such a high evaluation, and his old face was slightly red.

The group continued to walk forward and saw that there was a lot of farmland in the flat part of the mountain. Some are on flat land, while others are terraced on hillsides.

These fields are full of people working in them, wearing hats and short hats, typical of farmers.

Jiang Chuan watched their movements carefully, these people were holding farm tools, and there seemed to be a peculiar charm in every move.

After looking at it for a long time, I felt that they didn't look like they were working, but rather used to practice.

Ploughing the ground, in your hands? The head flew up and down, and the dirt flew up, fast and flat.

The weeds in the field flew backwards with the hoe, the height was the same, and they all landed in the same place, which was very accurate.

There are also people who carry bamboo baskets in their hands, and twist the beans from the basket with their hands, and with a slight flick of their fingers, the beans fall into the small pit that has been planed in advance.

After watching it for a while, Jiang Chuan was a little fascinated, and felt that these people didn't look like they were farming, but like they were performing an art.

Ji Biao was also dumbfounded, and muttered, "I didn't expect to plant crops like this." ”

Bai Jinxiu looked at the expressions of the two of them and said with a smile: "These are also outer disciples, and they belong to the peasant sect. Although their main business is farming, they can also practice martial arts. This is actually their daily way of practicing martial arts, integrating martial arts into their work, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Further up, I saw a craftsman chiseling stones in the mountains, carrying a basket full of stone slabs on his back.

I saw a woodcutter cutting trees in the forest, and the big axe was flying, and soon a big tree fell to the ground. The woodcutter carried a large tree as thick as a man, and came to a wooden frame, and moved quickly with the saw, and in a short time the big tree became a flat plank.

As I walked on, I saw swarms of bees flying in a valley full of rape flowers, and not far away there were wooden boxes in which countless bees flew in and out, and beekeepers wore masks and coats to collect honey.

"These are all outer disciples, stonemasons quarrying stones, some roads, stone houses and even stone tables and chairs in the sect are all paved and built by them. The woodcutter is a woodcutter and also a carpenter, making all kinds of furniture utensils. The beekeeper raises bees, and the bees collected are used to make beeswax in addition to eating. Bai Jinxiu looked at Jiang Chuan and the two of them with fascination, and introduced with a smile.

Jiang Chuan sighed in his heart, along the way, he saw all the things of the White Cloud Sect, and he was completely self-sufficient.

He originally thought that the Baiyun Sect had Dong Xiangchun's income to support, and the disciples in the sect used it to practice martial arts or learn the skills of other organs every day, so there was no need to work so hard at all.

But at the moment, many situations are different from what I imagined.

"Childe, look, there's a birdman there!" Ji Biao suddenly pointed to the air and shouted.

Jiang Chuan looked up and saw a huge "birdman" swooping down from the top of a mountain, two wings made of unknown materials flashing rapidly.

But the birdman was still falling rapidly, and the weak upward force of the flickering wings could not stop the birdman from falling, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the rapidly falling birdman.

Xiaowen suddenly shouted: "Miss, the sect master has started flying again." ”
