Chapter 21 Tao Yuan's Observations I
I don't know when a message began to circulate in the village, saying that in the vast old forest to the north, there were monsters, whether they were hunting or chopping wood, as long as they went too deep, they would be eaten by them.
That said, but no one had ever seen what the monster looked like, and some long-tongued women told a horror story to others, saying that everyone in which village did not believe in evil and wanted to go in to find out, but there were no people together.
Tao Yuan never believed this, although he was not a scholar, he had also read books for two years, and knew that these were some magical events told by fools, and then they could not be explained by common sense, and finally they were all pushed to the ghosts and gods.
His family runs a small cooking cake shop, and he is busy selling baked cakes every day, and he has never taken the rumors to heart.
But half a month ago, an accident caused my father to pass away suddenly, and all the family's savings were not used to do future affairs.
Originally, there was little money for firewood, and in the past, he used to buy and sell directly from his neighbors, but now he had to go up the mountain to cut it himself.
But it was the first time he had done this kind of work, and he was clumsy in his work, and he simply got lost in the woods, and walked for three or four hours without getting the word out, and he didn't know where he was.
While resting under a big tree, he suddenly remembered the rumors in the village, and his body suddenly struck a spirit, and his heart lifted.
People are like this, they are always easy to be nervous in an unfamiliar environment, if they have big nerves, they don't think about anything, but there is nothing to do, but if their minds are complicated, the more unprovoked, guessing, looking left and right, the more likely it is to have incidents.
Tao Yuan was exactly like this, he didn't feel anything when he was concentrating on the road, but when he stopped, the cool breeze blew, and the hot sweat on his body turned into cold sweat, and his heart became cold.
Looking up at the sky, seeing that the sky was about to darken, it was not easy to stay here for a long time, smashed his sore knees, barely stood up with the help of the tree, and staggered and fell.
Suddenly, he stumbled under his feet and fell directly into a grass, and when he got up, he suddenly saw a big black face.
Ahh
He let out a scream and fainted without hesitation.
I don't know how long it took, Tao Yuan woke up and found himself in a small wooden house, with a simple wooden bed lying under him and a hay mat under him.
The room is not very large, and the decoration is very simple, and there are no common living tools, but on the table you see a huge wooden bowl and a tall and large stool.
He sat up slowly, and then he realized that the bed under him was also tall and large.
I looked at myself, and the wounds on my body had been simply bandaged.
In this way, it seems that someone should have saved themselves, but who is it in the deep mountains and forests?
struggled to get out of bed, only to find that this bed was waist high.
Looking back at the tables and chairs, it's like zooming in.
He suddenly felt as if he had shrunk down, as if he had returned to the world he had been five or six years old, and everything around him was so big.
Just as he was stunned, there was a sudden cry behind him, Tao Yuan turned his head violently, and was involuntarily startled.
He let out a scream and tried to run away, but as soon as he took a step back, his body slammed into the bed, and he realized that he had been forced into a corner, and there was nowhere to escape.
I couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in my heart.
It's over, it's over, it's over, there's really something to blame me in this mountain, and I regret not being at the beginning! His brain was as stiff as a stone tower, and he couldn't listen to good advice at all.
If I had been able to put the rumors to heart a little, I am afraid that this would not have ended up like this.
The matter of two copper plates, firewood and the like can be bought, although the family is difficult, but it is not that I can't afford this money, but why did I go into the forest for no reason.
That's it, it's all fate!
Tao Yuan was already desperate, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for death.
But the imaginary blow did not appear, but two big furry hands grabbed him and gently placed him on the bed.
He suddenly opened his eyes, with doubts in his eyes, looking at the black-haired monster in front of him who was more than two meters tall, and suddenly had a guess in his heart, "Yes...... Did you save me? Is this your home? ”
He asked, looking at the monster on the other side.
It looks a little like a monkey, but it is obviously much taller and thicker, the black hair on its body is soft and smooth, and the muscles on its body are layered on top of each other, and it is even more terrifying than the most powerful Hercules.
Although the content is hideous, the small round eyes reveal innocence and agility, and it seems to be able to understand speech.
It also had a coarse cloth tied around its waist, as if to cover its body.
It seemed to understand Tao Yuan's question, grinned and nodded, feeling that he was pointing out the door again.
Tao Yuan was a little puzzled and said, "What are you talking about?" ”
"He's saying it's not just him who saved you, but his companions as well!"
Suddenly an unfamiliar voice came from outside, a tall, richly dressed man walked in with his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face, and although his eyes were flat, he was not angry.
Tao Yuan glanced at it, then sat up in surprise, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "This brother is invited, can you tell me what kind of place this is?" Is this monster your pet? ”
"Did it hurt your brain? I forgot where I was unconscious, of course, this is the orangutan tribe in the mountains, deep in the dense forest. As for it, or don't call it a monster? Beware of him being angry, they are called orangutans, a species of apes. In this deep mountain, it can be regarded as a tyrant! ”
Tao Yuan was surprised: "It turns out that in addition to tigers, leopards and jackals, there are such fierce beasts. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly stunned, he looked left and right sharply, and his body trembled uncontrollably, "Is this wooden house also built by them?" ”
"You've found the point!" The man found a small pipe out of nowhere, put it in his mouth and inhaled it gently, then slowly exhaled a white smoke, and then said, "If you are curious, why don't you come down and visit it yourself." It's better to hear it a thousand times than to see it with your own eyes! ”
"Can I move around as I please?"
The man chuckled and said, "How did you think the rumors of the monsters in the Three got out?" And where are those who have disappeared? ”
"Say, do you say?"
Tao Yuan suddenly couldn't believe the guess in his heart.
The man said no more, a smile appeared on his lips, and he turned away.
The orangutan obviously didn't understand what the two of them were saying, and didn't seem to care much, but just felt a hot kudzu plug for him, and then turned away with a smile.
Tao Yuan was holding a thick kudzu root in his hand, and he didn't know what to say when he had time.
---
My heart was filled with curiosity, where could I still sit, eat a little bit, remember the Tibetan temple for an afternoon, hurriedly jumped off the wide bed, and did not go out.
As soon as he went out, the scenery that greeted him directly made him dumbfounded.
"This ...... What the hell is this? Why is there a village in the deep mountains? ”
The hut he was in now was on a high ground, and in sight there was a valley, the size of three or four of his villages.
And such a large land, the whole code is occupied by all kinds of wooden houses.
Below is a neatly planned village, with rows of houses, traffic and gorillas.
At a glance, there were three or four hundred.
Looking further ahead, there were pieces of farmland, which were also very neat, but the things that were planted, he couldn't understand them, and they didn't produce too tall seedlings.
Looking further to the right, there are rows of terraced rice fields on the mountainside, and many orangutans are busy working back and forth, seemingly serious.
Although they are like monkeys, they do not have the escape of monkeys, and they are also serious and responsible in their work, and even a little more dull.
But even so, there is communication between each other, but they can't speak.
Tao Yuan was almost stunned, this was a sight he had never dreamed of.
He suddenly closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and opened them again, and the village in front of him was still there.
The tense body suddenly relaxed, and it has become a fact, so you have to admit it.
I'm just a village farmer who sells cooking cakes, although I've been studying for two years, I haven't been in contact with the outside world, and how much can I know, maybe the outside world is like this!
He slowly calmed down.
"Huh? It's interesting to accept it so quickly! Boy, what's your name? ”
That somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from the side again.
Tao Yuan turned his head to look, and found that it was the small pipe that the person was holding just now, while lightly puffing out the smoke ring, while looking himself up and down with a little surprise.
Tao Yuan knew that this was a key person, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes and saluted respectfully: "Boy Tao Yuan has seen Mr.!" The kid went into the mountains to chop wood, got lost in the mountains, inadvertently bumped into here, and was rescued by Mr., the kid was grateful! ”
"What is Mr. not Mr., I don't teach, just call me Brother Cheng, you don't need to pay attention to politeness here!"
This person is Cheng Ming.
Although the orangutan has his strong transformation, he has learned some basic skills, such as building a house, cooking, farming, and even some simple weaving skills.
But these orangutans are tall, muscular, and eat as much as rice buckets, and it is difficult to fill their stomachs with the things they have grown.
What's more, eating the same food for a long time can easily cause boredom.
Cheng Ming came over from time to time, and while asking them to expand the planting area, he used the system to exchange most of the kudzu collected into silver taels, and then exchanged them for various grains, and put them in the collective granary in the village, which was counted as the rations of all orangutans.
The exchange system only has a page for food and clothing, and there are a lot fewer things that can be exchanged, but it does help a lot.
And the food business is getting bigger and bigger, and with the continuous expansion of the staff, the branches are also snowballing.
With force in hand, when encountering all kinds of troubles, they will be crushed all the way, and the party looking for trouble will disappear for no reason, and the trouble will naturally not exist.
Such an arrogant platform expansion has naturally attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people.
However, in today's era, land annexation is serious, and the local government is already in chaos, and in the bureaucratic system, nine and a half out of ten are rice buckets, and seven and a half of these nine and a half are greedy for money, and six are desperate for money.
As long as there is a slight show of force, and the other side sends silver taels through channels, officials and businessmen collude and abandon them, and naturally form a peculiar force.
As long as it does not touch the fundamental interests of the big clan, no one will offend Cheng Ming for no reason.
The name of the evil is sometimes much better than the name of the good man.
With the money in hand, and a little bit of means to dig out some experienced shopkeepers, Cheng Ming basically decentralized the business of the grain store.
The people below do whatever they want, only raw materials and force are provided here, as long as the income is guaranteed and can continue to expand, Cheng Ming will not care.
After passing through several worlds, Cheng Ming doesn't care about this kind of thing outside his body.
As soon as the task is completed, pat the ass and leave, no matter how much wealth there is, all the wealth will be returned to others.
So there is no point in struggling to accumulate in Bala.
But there is one thing worth changing, Cheng Ming is a little interested in women.
In addition to the mission, it seems that life should also be enjoyed.
Moreover, the last two tasks, each longer than the other, and there is no specific time limit, as long as Cheng Ming is willing, it seems that it will not hurt to sit for a lifetime.
Why don't you just marry two concubines and enjoy the blessings of Qi people.
At the very least, I want to fulfill the wishes of the landlord when I was a child.
Of course, this is just a small matter of piggybacking, and it can be solved casually.
The main task is to develop the gorilla population.
It is also strange to say, originally nested in a valley deep in the mountains, dozens of miles away from the edge of every dense forest, according to common sense, no one would have walked into such a deep dense forest.
But this is not the case, after working here for a few months, there are more than 100 people who inadvertently break into the orangutan tribe.
It's simply unconscionable.
At first, when someone inadvertently broke in, Cheng Ming didn't care at all, and just let the orangutans detain them.
In fact, it can't be considered a detention, except for not leaving the valley, these people will not stop them from doing whatever they want.
Cheng Ming's original intention was to let these people be able to take root in the orangutan tribe with all their hearts, even if they were only reluctant to compromise, they would use their various crafts.
Orangutans can take advantage of the opportunity to steal from school.
But Cheng Ming forgot that people have relatives, and if a person is lost, there will often be seven or eight people going into the mountains to look for it, and two or three of these seven or eight people will always fall into the orangutan tribe in a daze, and then they will naturally be left behind.
And if these two or three people disappear, there will be as many as twenty or thirty people looking for them.
In this cycle, more and more people are trapped in the orangutan tribe!
