This village is not large in terms of appearance or actual land occupation, dozens of simple houses of all kinds are built on both sides of the mountain road or on the cliff floor, and it does not seem to be crowded, quite a bit of a hidden village.

Everyone in the team walked forward with Siyou, while listening to her and the team constantly introduce the situation here.

"I don't know how many years these houses have existed here, some people have come here, built the house and lived here, after a long time, some people have reached the top of the mountain or left, the house here is idle, there are new climbers who continue to live here, after a long time, if the house is in disrepair, later people will repair it, over the years, it has formed the appearance you see."

The team nodded.

"Aren't there still a lot of vacancies here?" Meng Ran asked.

"Yes, the number of houses you see now is the one that survived when the number of climbers was at its highest, and in the last few years there have been very few people who have been able to reach the summit, and many have left, and many houses have been left vacant, and if you want to live here, you can find a vacant house at will." Siyou replied.

As everyone spoke, they continued to move towards the house where they were thinking.

However, what made several people feel a little awkward was that they were once again strongly watched by the masses who did not know the truth.

Most of the people who want to worship Shushan are young people, and most of them are men, and at this time, they gather together in twos and threes, watching the team move forward.

However, what made everyone feel quite relieved was that this time the sight was obviously not as full of scrutiny and disdain as the previous onlookers, but there was some curiosity, and there was a little kindness that everyone could feel.

"Why are they so friendly to us?" Meng Ran asked in a low voice.

"Everyone has a common purpose, and there is no specific conflict of interest, which is equivalent to supporting each other to live here, as the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so the atmosphere here has always been good." Siyou replied with a smile.

Suddenly, everyone smiled and returned their kindness to those friendly eyes.

It didn't take long for several people to come to the place where Siyou lived.

This is a small courtyard built in the middle of the mountainside, the geographical location is relatively high, you can see the magnificent scenery under the mountain if you don't come here to climb the mountain, just afraid to visit the mountains and rivers here for a few days, it is also a very suitable place to live.

Whether it is a small courtyard or a house, although it seems that the furnishings are relatively simple, it is extremely clean and tidy by Siyou, if you don't say it, it is really difficult for Qi Zhen to use this place as just a temporary place to stay.

"Come in and sit down." Siyou let the team into the room and said politely.

"It's time for me to cook, too." She continued.

"I'll help you." Meng Ran volunteered.

"How can you let the guests cook?" Siyou was anxious to refuse.

"It's okay, I'm cooking well." Meng Ran said.

"Speaking of cooking, what do you do with your daily food and clothing?" Qi Zhen asked.

"There is a town at the foot of the mountain, so there is naturally no shortage of clothes on weekdays, and in addition to daily cultivation on the mountain, most people will also grow some vegetables and fruits, and go to the town to sell or exchange for other things."

"Siyou, do you also grow vegetables?" Meng Ran was surprised.

"I'm not a big lady who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, naturally I also have my own vegetable garden, just behind the house, do you want to come and see?" Siyou proposed.

"Yes, yes!" Meng Ran didn't know where the excitement came from, and nodded again and again.

Qi Zhen felt a little funny in his heart, whether it was ancient or modern, even in the game, the Chinese people are really still a people who love the land.

Siyou was going out, and everyone in the team was naturally embarrassed to stay at someone's house, which was not like words.

So a few people began to find work for themselves.

Li Qiang was responsible for chopping firewood, Yu Liang was responsible for lighting the fire, Qi Zhen asked where the water source was, and carried two wooden barrels up the mountain to fetch water, but Jiang Yan looked the most idle, and she was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a chicken coop in the yard.

Then other people who came and went in the yard saw Jiang Yan release all the chickens in the chicken coop and began to feed the chickens in the yard.

When people are busy, time always flies, and when everyone packs up the work at hand, Siyou and Meng Ran are ready to cook, twilight has already fallen in the mountains.

Dinner is actually quite simple.

After the rice is simmered until it is nine years old, cut the air-dried sausages prepared by Siyou in advance into small pieces, pick a few handfuls of green vegetables from the vegetable garden at the back of the small courtyard and blanch them, and spread them on the cooked rice, add a little honey and coarse salt collected from the mountain, until the rice is all cooked out of the pot, and then beat a raw egg on each bowl of rice.

Finally, the lard bought from the town under the mountain is piping hot on the pot, and it is full? A spoonful is poured on top of the hot eggs and meals, and with the sound of the lala, the eggs are instantly scalded by the hot oil, revealing a beautiful yellow and white color, and at the same time, the mouth-watering taste is also instantly popped up.

This bowl of Meng Ran's elaborate simple meal can be regarded as a complete finish.

Not to mention Siyou, it was the first time that everyone in the team had tasted this kind of food.

Not to mention that a few people in the team have never eaten anything good, from the time they entered Dabie Mountain to the present, everyone has not eaten a decent meal at all, and every time they are hungry, they let Yu Liang take out the dry food prepared in advance from the seed bag to deal with the matter.

I don't dare to say it with my chest against my back, anyway, several people are hungry, and at this time, my eyes are looking at my nose and smelling, who can withstand this?

As a result, this vigorous disc action was implemented by everyone in the team very well.

It can almost be described as a tornado.

If it weren't for Siyou's kind-heartedness, he might have arranged these friends in his heart like hungry friends who hadn't eaten for several days.

Everyone in the team used their own strength to interpret what it means to eat for two hours and eat for five minutes.

In the end, the few people were a little uncomfortable, and they kept stuffing rice into their mouths, especially Yu Liang, who muttered while eating: "It's so fragrant." ”

Qi Zhen was quite puzzled, and asked him if his body was not a divine tree now, and he was still hungry?

Yu Liang put down the bowl and smacked his lips, saying Qi Zhen, you don't understand, whether you are hungry or not, do I know?

Qi Zhen said that you know, you know, then you don't know if you're hungry, do you know if you're full?

Yu Liang touched his belly, which was already slightly bulging, and said I still know this.

Qi Zhen said that if you know that you are full, don't eat it, no, leave some for me, I don't eat as fast as you.

Yu Liang said, why didn't you say this to the captain?

Qi Zhen said that the captain is a human, you are not, you are a vegetative person.

Yu Liang said you get out, then picked up the bowl and lowered his head and began to pick up the rice.

The meal was eaten quickly, but the atmosphere was extremely relaxed and joyful.

After eating, everyone sat around and decided to rest here today and leave early tomorrow morning.

This arrangement is a tacit understanding between the two captains, Qi Zhen and Li Qiang.

The things that Dabie Mountain has experienced, for the team, whether it is physical or mental, the consumption is too great, and if it comes, it will be safe, as the so-called relaxation is moderate, the team needs to rest here for a day now, and don't think about anything, so as to face the next problems and levels.

Unexpectedly, before the team left, Siyou really said his request to everyone.

It turns out that the reason why Siyou has been able to persist here until now is not because of her amazing perseverance, nor because she doesn't want to be in her hometown, but because she came here this time with her senior brother in the dart game.

Speaking of this, Siyou's face even showed a touch of shame.

Everyone in the squad is not stupid, and naturally their own brains make up the classic scenes in romance dramas.

It's just that her senior brother broke through to the fourth layer a year ago, and when she reached the fourth layer, she didn't see any trace of her senior brother, and she was worried about her senior brother's safety, so she naturally thought about whether her senior brother had successfully reached the top and was defeated under the Shushan Gate.

Therefore, if the team members go up the mountain to see her senior brother, they can explain to him the meaning of Siyou's longing, and ask the team to tell each other that Siyou is still working hard and will soon reach the fifth layer.

Qi Zhen naturally agreed.

The moonlight is hazy, the mountain scenery is beautiful, and most importantly, the climate is pleasant, and a few people strolled through this place called the Prodigal Cliff, looking at the lights under the mountain, and their hearts were at peace.

"I used to think that if one day I retired and would find a place to rest in peace, what a wonderful thing it would be." Qi Zhen said softly.

"Who wouldn't?" Yu Liang replied to him.

"If you had to choose, what do you think you want most besides what is essential for survival?" Qi Zhen asked suddenly.

"You'd better give me a vegetable garden and a pond." Meng Ran replied with a smile.

"I didn't think about it, if you want to give me a library?" Jiang Yan said.

"I want a wife......" Yu Liang looked at Jiang Yan and said aggrievedly.

Even Jiang Yan was happy.

"If I say, I might have to be in good health." Li Qiang said slowly.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Qi Zhen, ready to see how he wanted to answer.

"I want to be free." Qi Zhen said softly.

The crowd was silent.

"Of course, there is no absolute freedom, but in the current state of the game, I really ...... It's too much to bear. Qi Zhen's tone was a little low.

Li Qiang patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he could understand his thoughts.

Immediately, the team found two adjacent huts, one for three men and one for two girls, and rested separately.

Even here, the team did not dare to completely unguard and still arranged the order of the vigil.

There was nothing to say all night, and as soon as the sky was bright on the second day, everyone gathered together and prepared to march to the peak of Shu Mountain.
