After coming out of the apartment, cross the road and walk southeast for a while, you can see the sparse hilly terrain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info A little further inside will soon lead you into the mountains. It was in this place that Zhang Wei was attacked by wild boars and died.

When Ding Chen first arrived here and lurked to observe the situation of the apartment, he had lived in this hilly area for a while, so he was familiar with the terrain in this area.

Since he came out to relax, he didn't set any goals for himself, basically where he went. In his plan, he was going to walk for three or four hours, try his luck, settle lunch in the woods and start returning, so that when he got back to the apartment, he could catch dinner.

Carlo's sister-in-law was very interesting to him, and converted the amount of work he did in the water system into a contribution to the apartment. With these contribution points, Ding Chen can live a worry-free life.

This is also a management method used here to motivate people to participate in collective work.

Ding Chen is not a hypocritical person, since it is rare to live an easier life, he naturally will not put too much pressure on himself.

Soon after entering the mountain, he shot a pheasant, plucked it while it was hot, and after removing the internal organs, he carried the pheasant on his back and continued to walk towards the mountain.

In many people's minds, the so-called mountainous areas are always combined with dense forests. But in reality, unless it is in the primeval forest, there are not many mountainous areas where the trees are so dense that it is difficult to walk.

Ding Chen had no intention of exploring the depths of the mountains and forests for the time being, so he consciously moved along the edge of the mountains.

If his route of movement is marked on the map, it can be seen that the path he is moving at this time is very similar to the road in front of the apartment, and the final goal will lead to the old city where Xu Shuidong is located.

Although Ding Chen has never figured out why the layout of this old city is not the same as the city in his impression, he will not give up easily, and will definitely go over to check it out for himself. Considering that he had managed to pull the hatred of the Ground Snake before he even started his action, it was obviously necessary to familiarize himself with the terrain in this vicinity in advance, and observe the retreat route by the way.

While observing the nearby terrain features, Ding Chen counted in his mind and converted it into the distance he had traveled. By the time it was almost noon, he was approaching the city.

Instead of a hidden bush, he pulled out a small pair of binoculars from his backpack, held them up in front of his eyes, and looked at the outline of the city that appeared in the distance and observed it silently.

Ding Chen had seen a city recovered by nature more than once, but it was obvious that the power of time was not evident in the city in front of him. The city that appears in the telescope is full of buildings that are still tall.

This surprised Ding Chen, and it was obvious that the city had not been abandoned for a long time.

In the eyepiece, you can vaguely see the crowd moving on the edge of the city, which makes Ding Chen feel a little curious. He wanted to get closer and take a look, but he didn't know if there was anyone on the other side who was secretly watching.

It was determined that this kind of thing would take a long and boring process, and Ding Chen was not going to do it today, so he watched it for a while and prepared to leave. At this time, he suddenly heard a rustling of footsteps nearby, and someone was approaching him quickly.

Ding Chen's heart froze, he didn't expect the security here to be so tight, he just stayed far away for a while, and he had already attracted attention.

Unless necessary, Ding Chen is not willing to clash with the locals. So he put away his binoculars and prepared to leave. But then he heard the sound of a conversation.

"Hasn't Xu Shuidong agreed to trade with their pistols yet?" A woman's voice came first. The woman said, "Could he be bluffing?" ”

"You're saying he doesn't actually have a lot of weapon-making technology?" A man's voice came, "Cheng Bin also thought of this possibility, but he said that he had to test it again." ”

"I don't like Xu Shuidong." The woman said, "He's too greedy. ”

"That's when you have a preconceived notion." The man said: "Although he betrayed Ye Shuangfei, that is understandable. ”

"When there are enough betrayals, it becomes habitual." The woman said coldly: "I don't like this place, let's go to the apartment next time." ”

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Cheng Bin thinks it would be better for them to form a competitive relationship." ”

The woman snorted, and after a while, she said, "He didn't think about it, if the two sides turned their faces, there might be one less supply point when we came over next time?" ”

As the footsteps approached, two figures, a man and a woman, turned out of the woods. Ding Chen crouched in the grass, looking at the two people without blinking, feeling a hint of danger.

This feeling of danger came from the man, who was more than one hundred and seventy centimeters tall and had a well-proportioned build. Bald without a hat, he wore a well-fitting hunting outfit and a pair of high-top leather boots on his feet. In his left hand he carried the carcass of a small beast, and in his right hand he carried an automatic rifle.

The woman walking beside him was tall and tall, wearing a tight black leather jacket and leather pants, outlining a beautiful figure. On his feet are high-top leather boots that are not often found in men. With her left hand and her right hand holding an automatic rifle around her neck with a tactical sling, she said as she walked: "You always don't understand, we are merchants, not warmongers, and if everyone dies, there will be no one to do business with us." ”

The man was visibly speechless by the accusation, and he walked silently beside the woman, while watching the movements around him warily. When he passed by Ding Chen's hiding place, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Who's where?" As he spoke, he had already raised his rifle.

Ding Chen sighed, knowing that he had been exposed. I can't blame him for it. The grass was not lush, and although he hid it well, it was impossible to really blend in. The wind had just blown by, and I thought the man had noticed something wrong with the amplitude of the grass where he was hiding dancing in the wind.

He slowly rose from the grass and raised his hands to show that he was unarmed. But instead of raising his hands above his head, he was shoulder-high. This allows him to conveniently pull out the pistol in the holster under his arm. The only problem was that he didn't expect to be in danger, so the pistol wasn't loaded.

The three of them stared at each other for a while before the woman spoke: "Are you from Xu Shuidong?" ”

Ding Chen remembered the conversation between the two people just now, his heart moved, and he shook his head and said, "I was sent by my father." ”

He looked at the two of them and said, "We already prepared the room for you yesterday, so Daddy wants to know when you will be able to arrive." ”

The woman hiccuped, frowned at him for a moment, and then said, "I haven't seen you." She turned to the man and said, "Have you seen him?" ”

"I just arrived at the apartment this year." Ding Chen said: "Two months ago. ”

The woman thought for a while, but didn't find any flaws in Ding Chen, and then said: "Then you go back and tell Dad, thank him for his enthusiasm, but I'm afraid we won't be able to go in a few days, and we won't stay in the apartment." ”

"That's a shame." Ding Chen said: "Carlo has prepared a lot of fruit wine, and this year's corn harvest has been harvested. ”

The woman hesitated, looked at him and said, "Are you the only one coming?" She seemed suspicious, "What about Hoss and Zhu Yu?" ”

"The waterwheel broke down the other day, and they've been getting new ones." Ding Chen didn't even blink his eyes when he told a lie, "Dad asked me to come over just to see when you appeared, and didn't let me come forward to contact." ”

The woman nodded, thought thoughtfully, and asked Ding Chen, "What is hanging on your backpack?" ”

"Pheasant." Ding Chen said: "I plan to use it for lunch." ”

"That's right." The woman said, "We didn't have lunch either." Well, let's have lunch together, and then I'll go to the apartment with you to see Daddy, what do you think? ”

Ding Chen smiled, "Of course it's good." He said, "I guess Daddy will be happy." ”

The woman looked at him deeply and said meaningfully, "Of course, I think he will be happy." ”
