Somewhere in the wilderness 600 kilometers north of the G011 base, there is a small cottage located between the Jiuqu Mountains, and the original owner of the small cottage is surnamed Xu, and the cottage has the name Xujiazhai. Xujiazhai covers an area of 2,750 acres, standing on the top of the mountain with the widest field of vision and looking down, the first thing is the row upon row of ancient houses on the small plain surrounded by mountains.

The old house complex is the product of two centuries ago, the houses are all made of yellow mud bricks, the roof is tiled with dovetail eaves, the doors are made of thick wooden boards, the door knockers are made of iron, and the steps at the entrance are made of stone. When you go out, you will find a long stone paved road. Tall houses can reach three or four storeys, and the canopy of verdant trees sandwiched between houses can reach the upper end of the dovetail eaves.

At the southern end of the house complex there is a wide river, which flows from the mountains to the west, flows through the nearby mountains, flows through the plains, and is diverted into the channel of the cottage. The river channel is flanked by very high walls and railings on the river walls. The verdant canopy of trees is reflected in the river, giving the murky river a rich yellow-green color.

The houses occupy ninety percent of the area of the small plain surrounded by mountains, and the end of the mountain range near the cottage houses has been excavated by the former villagers into terraced fields, which are yellow-green in color, the soil is fertile, and the crops grow luxuriantly, giving people a deep sense of security.

At the upper end of the terraces, on the top of the mountain near the cottage side, there is a circle of horizontal artificial fences. A stone pillar was erected every 5 meters on the fence, and a large area of copper metal mesh was hung on the part between the stone pillars, and the copper metal mesh itself had limited blocking power, so the villagers collected a kind of stinger vine that grew in the mountains; The villagers transplanted the stinger vine into the soil on the outside of the copper metal mesh, so that the ready-made stinger vine can grow on the copper metal mesh to form a barrier against the invasion of the cottage.

Surrounded by undeveloped land that spans kilometers and is barren and sparsely populated, the people of Xujiazhai have been isolated for two centuries and living in self-sufficient mountains.

There are still more than 600 people living in this Xujia village, most of whom are descendants of their ancestors, and only a very small number of residents are outsiders who have fled into the remote Xujia village.

Wu Qi, Gao Yuan, and Guo Bobai are the very few outsiders who "fled" into Xujiazhai.

At dusk, the orange-red sun in the west was on the verge of setting. A man wearing a yellow rattan cloak returned from the eastern mountains, dragging the body of an 800-kilogram iron-cracked brown bear in his left hand, and holding a three-foot-long knife in his right hand, the three-foot-long knife had several dried blood marks on its body, faintly exuding a smell of blood.

The man has a handsome face, unlike the mountain village man in the cottage, and his obsidian-like eyes are unusually beautiful. He is none other than Wu Qi.

The carcass of the brown bear that Wu Qi dragged in his hand was his prey this afternoon, and it was also the dinner he had with Guo Baibai and Gao Yuan.

Wu Qi walked to a certain part of the fence, put down the things in his hand, reached out and grabbed the densely entangled vines, lifted them up, and then lifted the copper metal mesh under the vines with his other hand, and got into it with his short body, and dragged the long knife and the corpse of the iron-cracked brown bear in, and lowered the metal mesh.

This is the way to enter the fence only known to the villagers, the whole horizontal artificial fence, only three places inserted non-poisonous vine nets, the villagers sprayed the non-poisonous vine nets mixed with the stinger vine juice, covering up the smell of non-poisonous vines, so that the animals that want to attack the cottage have no way to start.

After entering the range of Xujiazhai, Wu Qi stood at the top of the mountain range, overlooking the entire group of old houses in the cottage. From here, you can see almost all the houses at a glance, as well as the intricate paths between the houses, and there are old, young, young and middle-aged people, and women walking on the paths, or moving a small stool to sit in front of their houses and chat.

White cooking smoke from the chimneys of countless houses curled above one old house after another. Now it's time for families to cook. Half an hour ago, there were still villagers working in the terraces, but now almost all of them have returned home, and there are few people in sight.

An old house on the east side of the house group, closest to the east entrance, is the temporary residence of Wu Qi and others.

Wu Qi dragged his prey down the path between the terraced fields, walked to the bottom of the terraced fields, stepped on the stone bridge across the river at the entrance of the village, and walked to the front of his own yard.

At this time, children in groups of three and three came running from the other end of the path, frolicking as they ran. The children are dressed in plain linen clothes, their skin is healthy pale yellow, they have sufficient nutrients, and their bodies are very energetic.

Several children were playing together, Wu Qi happened to look up at them, and one of the boys saw Wu Qi looking this way, and also showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and waved at him with a smile. The child is waving his whole arm up, which looks a little pompous, but this is exactly how the child shows his affection.

Wu Qi nodded and smiled, and the other children also saw Wu Qi and said hello to him from a distance of more than ten meters.

They were not afraid of the huge corpse of the iron-cracked brown bear that Wu Qi had dragged all the way, nor were they afraid of the blood-stained long knife that Wu Qi held in his hand. In the values of the cottage children, hunters who can kill powerful mutant animals to obtain animal meat to fill the stomachs of a family or even a group of people, and by the way, reduce the threat of mutant animals near the cottage, are all heroes of Xujiazhai.

And that's exactly what happened. Ever since they settled in Xujiazhai, Wu Qi often went out of the scope of the cottage and went alone to hunt powerful mutant animals in the mountains and obtain a large amount of high-quality animal meat. The furniture, food, condiments, clothes and other daily necessities that they lacked were all exchanged by Wu Qi for a large amount of high-quality animal meat and the villagers.

When they were not short of daily consumables, Wu Qi still frequently went out to hunt mutated animals, and they often couldn't finish the meat they hunted, so Wu Qi would cut the meat into several portions and give it to the villagers who often help them, or give it to the children of the neighbors, which is very generous.

This is one of the reasons why children like Wu Qi very much, but more importantly, they like and worship a strong, good-looking, and gentle big brother like Wu Qi.

Maybe there is some "misunderstanding" of information asymmetry in this, but Wu Qi has indeed never shown anger. He was always calm, quietly smiling back when the children greeted him, and continued to lightly drag the half-ton giant game forward, a rattan cloak almost never stained with blood.

After greeting the children, Wu Qi walked to the door of his house, pushed open the door and walked in.
