Chapter 579: Alpine Village
The village at the foot of the mountain is called Takayama Village.
The village has little farmland, and the villagers basically make a living by hunting and selling mountain goods.
This year's drought has caused all the crops to die of drought and not a single harvest.
However, in recent days, there have been blind tigers and bears on this mountain, and several people in the village have been injured when they go up the mountain to hunt, and everyone does not dare to go up the mountain easily.
If this continues, the family will have to run out of food.
Zhou Tian and they walked to the entrance of the village, met three or two villagers, and saw that their faces were full of gloom.
Gan Ruixue stepped forward and asked, "Why are the two old brothers frowning, but what happened to the village?" ”
When the two villagers saw so many of them entering the village, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, and asked very defensively, "Who are you?" What are you doing in our village? ”
"Don't get me wrong, brother, we are from Chenqiao Town next door, and we want to come to the neighborhood to inquire if there is any wood for sale." Gan Ruixue said with a smile: "Don't worry, the two elder brothers, the price given is guaranteed to be fair." ”
"Buying lumber?" One of them was surprised: "I've never heard of anyone coming to collect timber before." ”
Gan Ruixue said: "During this time, I have been walking around the village near Chenqiao Town, and I came to Mutang Town today for something, so I came to inquire nearby." Your village lives at the foot of the mountain, and I thought there would be timber, so I thought I'd come and ask. ”
Gan Ruixue often went out to buy timber during this time, and chatted a lot with the villagers, and dispelled their doubts in a few sentences.
One of them said to Gan Ruixue: "Every family has saved a lot of wood, and if you keep it for building a house or making furniture for your children, you can't sell it." ”
Gan Ruixue pointed to the high mountain not far away and said, "You live at the foot of this mountain, and you often go up the mountain, and good wood is not difficult for you to find." Sell what you have saved, and then go up the mountain to find it! ”
The man smiled bitterly and said, "If it was before, it would be convenient to go up the mountain." But now it can't be done, this mountain is very dangerous, and there are tigers and bears blind, and they have injured several people in the village, and everyone is afraid to go up the mountain. This year, there was another great drought, and all the crops planted died of drought, and this day could not be lived. This thief doesn't want to give us a way to live! ”
Got a tiger? And the bear blind?
I don't know why, when Zhou Cunzhe heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Otherwise, let's go hunting tigers in the mountains!"
Last time on the mountain near Zhangshu Village, didn't you easily drive away the beasts? I even killed a tiger by the way!
When the two villagers heard Zhou Cunzhe's words, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with fine skin and tender meat, dressed luxuriously, and at first glance, he was a pampered rich young master.
"This boy, the tiger and the bear blind man are very fierce, not a joke. Our village makes a living from hunting, and some people have hunted wild boars, roe deer or something, and the powerful hunters have also hunted tigers, but this time the injured one happened to be the old hunter who had hunted tigers. Even he can't deal with those fierce beasts, so we don't dare to go, if we don't have a life to go, we won't have a life to return. ”
Zhou Cunzhe raised his chin and said, "We also hunted a tiger a few days ago, and we also hunted wolves, and it is not as dangerous as you said. If you are lucky enough to meet the blind bear, you can cut the bear's paw and bring it back, which is a good treasure. ”
Zhou Cunzhe's subordinates were anxious when they heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Young master, don't go up the mountain, it's too dangerous." ”
Zhou Cunzhe didn't care about them, he only turned his head to look at Zhou Tian, "Brother Tian, what do you think?" ”
