002: Observation

Before dawn the next day, Deng Shifeng got up early, skillfully lit a fire and cooked, quickly filled the remaining little half rabbit into his stomach pouch, and counted all the things to be carried.

Deng Shifeng walked through the mountains and forests very quickly, but in the fast, he always disappeared between the bushes and valleys from time to time, and in the process of his travel, he had the stability of an ordinary mountain farmer, as well as the vigilance and concealment of special soldiers. Although more than ten days of wild life is still short, but for Deng Shifeng, who has fully accepted the various mountain life experiences of his ancestors, it is enough to make him change from an urban teenager to a mountain baby who can dig birds from trees and rivers to fish, which is not only due to the memory and experience of various different people in his mind, but more importantly, his body has been good since he was a child, and he maintains a certain amount of physical training after entering junior high school, and during the high school period, he has more than an hour of morning jogging every day to enhance his physiqueOtherwise, even if he has all kinds of skills of wild survival masters in his mind, but he does not have sufficient physical strength and a strong and flexible body to complete various actions, he is blind so many good experiences, and as mentioned earlier, he is quite familiar with the area within three kilometers after exploring in the past ten days, and he clearly knows that the forest is easy to travel quickly, and the ravine is easy to hide his body, which mountain has a wild boar that is not easy to provoke to avoid the territory of these beasts......

All the way to the north, before ten in the morning, Deng Shifeng, who was wearing a simple camouflage uniform, quietly appeared on the ridge where the figures had appeared.

It has been at least thirty-six hours since I saw these people the day before yesterday, and if this time interval were replaced by someone else, there might be no trace of them at all, let alone Deng Shifeng, an ordinary teenager. But Deng Shifeng's failure does not mean that the memory in his mind is not good, in his mind, there are not only ordinary farmers and mountain people who also live in the mountains and villages, but also soldiers who have been specially trained to track and trace, and even criminal policemen who are good at finding clues!

Carefully found the clues left in the grass, Deng Shifeng checked the camouflage layer he hung on his body again, because of this operation Deng Shifeng preferred to be secretly observed from a distance, did not want to expose himself too early, and did not want to frighten the other party rashly to lead to a fight, he did not choose the powerful 92-style pistol and automatic rifle, but pulled out the police revolver, although the revolver is indeed almost powerful, but it is enough for the police to subdue the gangsters, Moreover, the revolver also has one of the best advantages that it can be fired at any time without switching the safety on/off, and the revolver has become the best choice in this situation where he does not want to fight or kill the other party and protect himself.

Along the grass, the bushes and the footprints on the ground, Deng Shifeng patiently moved forward slowly, and every time he walked a certain distance, he would rest and re-observe the surrounding situation for a short time, which was slow but safe.

Slowly moving forward, before he knew it, the time entered five o'clock in the afternoon, and Deng Shifeng at this moment calculated that he was already three kilometers away from the ridge where he found the figures of those people extended almost three kilometers to the north, that is to say, it was eight kilometers away from the temporary residence in a straight line, and eight kilometers on the flat ground, which was about two hours on foot, but it was in the mountainous area...... These eight kilometers often take a day's foot. At this time, the mountain in front of him is no longer a rolling hill, a large valley flat bottom is impressively visible to Deng Shifeng's eyes, and at the foot of the mountain, a continuous field and simple shanty houses declare that there is a world of human civilization here.

Seeing this field and shantytowns made Deng Shifeng quite excited, although these shanties are quite simple and even difficult to guarantee the function of sheltering from the wind and rain, but after all, they are an important residence for human beings to live in groups; At the same time, the fields reclaimed by the nearby water diversion also prove that these people have settled here for some time, and China's farming culture indicates that there are many traditional farmers living here.

Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Deng Shifeng did not rashly go down the mountain to contact these peasants, but quietly approached the ridge to within 500 meters in a straight line, shrunk next to a piece of limestone, and carefully observed the villages at the foot of the mountain with eight times the telescope, and everyone who happened to return to the shantytowns.

After a rough count, the number of shantytowns under the mountain is relatively scattered, but there should be at least fifty or more, but because some shantytowns are built together, it is difficult to estimate the approximate number of shantytowns through the number of shantytowns.

It's just that Deng Shifeng reluctantly gave up this idea after trying to count the people in the village, not that he was lazy, but it was easier to count the adults, men, women, and the elderly and weak groups moved more steadily or slowly, but the children who ran barefoot among the shantytowns, haystacks, and firewood piles could dazzle Deng Shifeng...... And the children were either bare-bottomed, covered in mud or flax, and without more obvious reading characteristics, they could turn around and act as a new human head again......

In desperation, Deng Shifeng only gave up the children and roughly estimated the number of adults, the conservative point of the whole village is estimated to be about 100 adults, and the high estimate of 150 or 60 may be able to reach it, plus more than 200 children running all over the ground is definitely not a problem. However, to Deng Shifeng's surprise, the proportion of female surnames among these adults is significantly greater than that of male surnames, and the proportion of disabled people with weak and broken legs and arms in male surnames is close to half, which means that the village is extremely lacking in mature and young male surnames, and it also means that the village's self-protection and defense capabilities are extremely low.

However, when observing these adults, Deng Shifeng found that the clothes worn by these people were definitely not the common clothes of modern people, old cloth jackets, tattered linen clothes, and even many people simply fell a few pieces of rags in front of their bodies and shivered in the cold wind. Some of the male surnames are wearing more pleasing and uniform cloth jackets, although these cloth jackets have been old and tattered, but judging from its appearance and the small amount of color left, Deng Shifeng found the most suitable answer from a memory in his mind - Ming Dynasty Mandarin Duck Battle Jacket!!

Deng Shifeng, who found this evidence, was not too shocked, because after climbing out of the cave, he had roughly guessed the fact that he had crossed, and for more than half a month, he had gradually learned to control his emotions under the memory of many predecessors. And the memory of a history lover in Deng Shifeng's mind told him that even if he judged that this was the mandarin duck jacket of the Ming Dynasty, the military household policy of the Ming Dynasty made the soldiers miserable...... If you want to judge whether it appeared in the early Ming Dynasty or the middle of the Ming Dynasty or the end of the Ming Dynasty...... I'm very responsible to tell you - dream!!

Of course, the clothing of these people may not say anything, and ordinary people may be disappointed, but for the memory of some professionals in Deng Shifeng's mind, a lot can be analyzed from it: there are so many men wearing military uniforms at the scene, then this is likely to be a military area of the Ming Dynasty, although this person is almost old, weak, sick and disabled, it is not like a guard, and there is no defense facilities of the next level of military fort at the scene, and even these people do not have decent weapons, But if you take these people as a matter of course and are classified as harmless to humans and animals, then your death will be miserable!

In the memory of the history lover in Deng Shifeng's mind, he clearly told Deng Shifeng that Guangxi has been in constant war since the Qin Dynasty was incorporated into the Chinese territory, and this kind of war is not a foreign war, but a constant battle between the local aborigines and the dynasty's political axe, although each time the rebellion of tens of thousands or tens of thousands of people was quickly suppressed, but this kind of fighting has not stopped intermittently. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, due to the Ming Dynasty's more and more sophisticated use of the fetters system, that is, the Tusi system, coupled with the outward expansion of the Tusi power and the increasingly serious exploitation of the poor people in Guangxi by salt and iron, various forces are intertwined, and no matter who the ultimate beneficiary of the struggle for power and interests is, there will always be only one victim - ordinary people!

Later generations of Taizu said well: where there is oppression, there is resistance. The civil uprisings and riots in Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty have been continuous, especially in the Datengxia area and Fujiang area in eastern Guangxi, which were the most oppressed and exploited, where the history of the protests and civil uprisings was almost the same as the historical time of the existence of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this kind of toughness has a two-way surname, and the struggle against the upper has never stopped, but the encroachment and plunder of the weak have never been spared; If it is an ethnic minority in the northwest of Guangxi, because the ethnic disputes and interest disputes here are not as serious as those in the eastern part of the country, the ethnic minorities there have a higher affinity with the outside world; However, the ethnic minorities living in the concentrated areas of the Guidong protest have developed a great distrust of outsiders, especially the Han people, during the long-term oppression and anti-oppression struggle...... In the context of this environment, even the ethnic minorities and natives have learned to turn their faces and not recognize people under the experience of brutal struggle, do you think that these suspected military households under the mountain are still harmless Teletubbies of humans and animals?!

Therefore, Deng Shifeng had no other choice but to continue to observe, and before obtaining more and more accurate information about the geographical location, chronological time and the identity of the person opposite, Deng Shifeng would never dare to rashly show up and make direct contact!
