Chapter 5 Tianmen Mountain

Escorted by two giant wolves, Xiao Lingtian followed the safe path discovered by the goblins, from early morning until it was dark, and finally found a very ideal place to live.

This is a small stone mountain located on the side of a ridge in the Great Khingan Mountains. This mountain is as high as several zhang, covering an area of 20 acres, and the cliffs around the stone mountain are steep and cut, which is daunting and intimidating, and it is impossible to climb at all.

The stone wall around the stone mountain is steep and dangerous, and there is only a narrow and long stone road into the mountain. Xiao Lingtian secretly thought that if an enemy chased and fled here, he could put stones in the stone path and block them, and others would not be able to go up, so he sighed in vain. Although Xiao Ling Tianguan is a small stone mountain, it is majestic, so he named this mountain Tianmen Mountain.

Xiao Lingtian led four wolves and one goblin into the stone road, but saw that the stone road into the mountain was more than 100 steps deep, and the steps were steep. One day the stone gate formed by nature, narrow as a foot, high can be a zhang, the chisel marks on both sides of the door are still there, and the stone hole of the wooden fence still exists.

Xiao Lingtian estimated that there might have been someone entrenched in this mountain, but he didn't know whether it was the people who went into the mountain to escape the scourge of war, or the bandits who occupied the mountain as kings.

Ascending to the top of the door, I saw some cobblestone mortars scattered on both sides, and I also saw chisel marks. The firewood and bamboo on the hill are indiscriminately grown, higher than the human head, and there are nameless strange grasses on the floating soil, all of which are lush and lush. Between the green shades and green shadows, the ruins and broken walls, broken bricks and tiles, I don't know when and who did it.

Under the wild bamboo at the head of the cliff, there is a pond of stagnant water, I don't know when and who chiseled it. The water is clear and clean, and the waves are rippling, which is lovely. This pond water is a clear spring naturally exuded from the mountain wall, and the water potential is not small, it is being sold out, it is estimated that it is enough for thousands of people and animals to drink.

Xiao Lingtian stood on top of the vines at the head of the cliff, bathed in the cool mountain breeze, and was very emotional in his heart. The day before, he was still an otaku in a remote small county, and today, he has become a member of this troubled world, which is really unpredictable.

Today, the two giant wolves in charge of hunting have already hunted two fat hares for Xiao Ling Tianbai, and the goblin was lucky to catch a beautiful pheasant when he was exploring the way.

As he was busy looking for a place to stay, Xiao Lingtian dealt with the seized cans in the morning and at noon. Now that you're settled, you're ready to treat your belly.

Remembering that there were still 85 merit points left, Xiao Lingtian decided to let the Ring of Life create two peasants. Although the peasants were the worst soldiers in the Heroes of Invincible Four, they had a tax stunt that Xiao Lingtian liked very much, and they could provide him with a large ocean of taxes and fees every day.

Xiao Lingtian didn't know what the purchasing power of this piece of the ocean was in the real world, but according to his vague memory, it seemed that the purchasing power of the ocean was very good during this period, and the price level was also very low.

"Make two peasants. The gender is male. Xiao Lingtian thought silently in his heart.

Xiao Lingtian didn't know how the Life Ring created life, as if this Life Ring could create a flesh-and-blood creature in an instant. What he couldn't figure out, Xiao Lingtian had always been too lazy to waste his brainpower. Anyway, he just needs to know that as long as he spends 40 merit points, he can make the Ring of Life create two peasants out of thin air.

After the two peasants came out, they first came to Xiao Lingtian and called out respectfully, "Lord Lord." These two voices instantly made Xiao Lingtian's bones a few taels lighter, since he was a child, he had never been so respectful by others!

looked at the two peasants, they are really similar to the image of the peasants in the Hero Invincible IV, except for some differences in appearance, the clothes on their bodies and the pitchforks in their hands are very similar to the images in the game.

"Okay, you still call me young master in the future!" Xiao Lingtian secretly enjoyed himself and said, "By the way, do you have a name?" ”

"Nope." The two peasants replied respectfully with pitchforks in their hands. Only the front three prongs of this pitchfork are made of iron, and it doesn't have a cutting edge like a normal weapon, just an iron bar with three forks. The pitchfork was not so much a weapon for the peasants to fight as a tool for their work.

"Okay, your name is Zhang Dagou, and your name is Zhang Ergou." Xiao Lingtian randomly chose a name for the two peasants.

Zhang Dagou looks stronger, with a height of about 1.75 meters; Zhang Ergou looks a little more energetic, with a height of about 1.7 meters.

The old man explained to Xiao Lingtian that each of the lives created by this life ring had subtle differences, such as the height of this peasant, his fat and thin were all random. But their potential and strength are basically the same.

In particular, their combat skills and proficiency are identical, as these adult individuals created by force are all made from the Ring of Life according to the established template.

"What will you all do?" Xiao Lingtian didn't plan to let these two peasants fight the Japanese, at least not now. He hoped that these two peasants would take care of Tianmen Mountain for him, reclaim a few acres of thin fields, and plant some grain and other crops.

"We grow crops, collect wild fruits, raise livestock, and we can do all the usual farm work." Zhang Dagou and Zhang Ergou said in unison.

To facilitate communication, all humanoids created by the Ring of Life, including humanoids, are able to speak Mandarin. Non-intelligent creatures, such as wolves, can also communicate with Xiao Lingtian directly through spirits.

"Sure enough, since they are called farmers, farm work should be their forte." Xiao Lingtian thought to himself in his heart.

"Do you know how to peel and cook food?" Xiao Lingtian pointed to two hares and a pheasant and said.

"Yes, just at an average level." Zhang Dagou said.

"Then peel off the skin of the two hares, pluck out the feathers of the pheasants, and make a barbecue of both the chicken and the rabbit." Xiao Lingtian said.

"Well, young master, we don't have a skinning knife, and we don't have the tools to make a fire." Zhang Dagou said with a little hesitation.

"Look at my brain." Xiao Lingtian patted his forehead, took out Nakamura's dagger and the delicate lighter from the storage space, and handed them to Zhang Dagou.

Zhang Dagou and Zhang Ergou worked together to peel off the rabbit's skin very quickly, and they cleaned the pheasant's feathers and collected the pheasant feathers in different categories.

Xiao Lingtian asked them why they collected pheasant feathers separately, and they said that the tail feathers of pheasants could be used to make arrow feathers, and the soft fluff could be used as raw materials for making clothes, quilts, and pillows.

The words of the two peasants made Xiao Lingtian sigh for a long time. It seems that no matter where it is, it is still the peasants who will live the most! They are industrious and thrifty.

However, Zhang Dagou and Zhang Ergou fiddled with each other for a long time, and they didn't know how to use the lighter. Later, it was Xiao Lingtian who taught them to use this gasoline lighter.

The first time he ate the original roast rabbit meat and roast pheasant, Xiao Lingtian's belly was overwhelmed. Although there was no salt or any condiments, the hares and pheasants that grew up in an environment that were not polluted in the slightest bit had a very tender meat, and their own fat and aroma alone conquered Xiao Lingtian's appetite.

After dinner, the two peasants cleared out two more stone rooms for Xiao Lingtian and themselves to rest. Although it was early summer, the weather at night was still a little cool. Xiao Lingtian asked the two peasants to build a few bonfires with the dry firewood they had collected to slow down, and just slept on the floor of the stone room.

The next day, Zhang Dagou took two fresh rabbit skins and two pieces of the ocean produced on the first day, escorted by two giant wolves, went outside to find the nearest settlement, and was ordered to buy some daily necessities, production tools and crop seeds suitable for this season to bring back.

In addition to serving as bodyguards to protect Zhang Dagou's safety, the two giant wolves can also hunt some more valuable and not too large prey for Zhang Dagou to sell in the settlement before entering the settlement.

Accompanying Zhang Dagou was a goblin, who was responsible for exploring the way for Zhang Dagou and acting as Zhang Dagou's bodyguard after leaving the forest. When she doesn't need it, she can hide it in Zhang Dagou's clothes pocket.

Although the goblins are extremely petite, they are extremely fast, and the knives in their hands that are smaller than the table knives are also quite sharp, and in terms of combat ability, they are taller than Zhang Dagou, a man with five big and three thick.

Xiao Lingtian summoned another goblin on the new day and asked her to patrol around Tianmen Mountain. Since he planned to use Tianmen Mountain as a base, he needed to figure out the surrounding situation as soon as possible.

Whether it is the water source, the distribution of plants, or the type of animal, what risk factors need to be removed, etc., all need to be prepared in advance.

Although the Ring of Life is powerful, it needs merit, merit, and money to support it, without which the Ring of Life is difficult for a clever woman to cook.

In general, the life ring creates life, and Xiao Lingtian needs to use meritorious service as the "currency" for payment. And it needs merit points to enter, parse new templates, and construct buildings in the Heroes of Invincible game. The creation of all inanimate things, such as weapons and armor for battle, requires money.

The old man didn't give an explanation as to why the Life Ring needed these things, and Xiao Lingtian didn't bother to think about this painful question. Anyway, such unscientific things happened to him, and he could accept a little more unscientific things.

Xiao Lingtian himself took Zhang Ergou to continue to clean up Tianmen Mountain, striving to create a more comfortable living environment as soon as possible.

Although the surrounding area of Tianmen Mountain is very steep, its top is unusually flat, and the fields that have been cultivated by people who have lived here in the past are still rare and have a little shadow, just because no one has taken care of them for a long time, and the fields have been overgrown with shrubs and weeds, and occasionally there are some tall trees and fruit trees.

It is not known whether these fruit trees are left by their ancestors or are native wild fruits. What made Xiao Lingtian happy was that to the east of Tianmen Mountain, there was a small peach forest. At this moment, the peach trees have already hung fruit, and the small green peaches are hanging all over the branches, which is very cute.

There is a stone cliff two or three zhang high on the north side of Tianmen Mountain, and there is a large stone cave formed naturally at the bottom of the stone cliff. The ancients who lived here in the past processed this cave and built houses one after another.

Since all the dwellings are built with chiseled stone walls on the spot, the stone chambers are very well preserved.

In the stone room, there are all kinds of simple stone tables and chairs carved out by the ancients, and there are also some wooden furniture, but they are all decayed, and some even grow mushrooms and fungus.

Xiao Lingtian also took matters into his own hands, and together with Zhang Ergou, began to clean up these stone chambers, moving out the decayed wooden furniture and things that were not needed. Xiao Lingtian was busy while waiting for Zhang Dagou's return.
