33. Go to Huya Ridge

"Queue up!"

Although Chu He is young, he is very majestic in the village protection team, and when he gives an order, the fourteen teams are immediately arranged into fourteen lines, and each of them reports the number.

After reporting the numbers, Wu Shizhu said loudly: "Chu He, all the one hundred and forty members of our village protection team have arrived. ”

This kind of scene is a little different from the army training imagined by Chu He, but there is no way, the quality of the wilderness mountain people is like this.

Lacking discipline since childhood, the mountain people who are savage by nature are not bad enough to be able to train to this point in just ten days.

Wu Shizhu is the deputy captain of the Township Protection Team, the second leader of the Township Protection Team, and the captain of the first team.

People are forced out, the current Wu Shizhu is obviously different from the previous arrogant Wu Shizhu, the most obvious change, he is basically straight face now, and he looks like no one is allowed to enter.

It is estimated that he felt that this could show the majesty and momentum of his captaincy.

For this reason, Wu Meier has complained to Chu He many times, saying that her father doesn't care for her anymore.

Chu Zhiwu was on the side of the hunting team, and he held the position of deputy captain, which Jiang Wei insisted on.

Chu He knew Jiang Wei's thoughts.

He can trust Jiang Wei, but his trustworthiness does not mean that the entire Qinghe Village can trust Jiang Wei, a person with a foreign surname.

Moreover, Chu Zhiwu, the second uncle, is in the township protection team, and it is not easy to manage, so he can't ask Chu He to keep a straight face, and teach his second uncle the same as teaching other team members, so he simply let him go to the hunting team.

Chu He glanced at the members of the township protection team, and stood quite formally, and the ten-day intensive military posture training had some effect.

"The old rule, an hour's military posture, and then a hundred pounds of weight running, running ten laps around Qinghe Village. ”

Chu He thought for a moment, and then added: "In the afternoon, practice chopping and stabbing two thousand times each. If everyone can complete the task, they will rest for a day tomorrow and go to Huya Ridge for actual combat hunting the day after tomorrow. ”

When the members of the township protection team heard this, their faces were all happy, but they didn't dare to shout out, they had been severely punished by Chu He several times before because of this.

Wu Shizhu said in a deep voice with a straight face: "We have one hundred and forty members of the Township Protection Team, and we are guaranteed to complete the training task!"

Chu He said: "Uncle Wu, you don't have to train with the team, wait until you go to the hunting team and call the eldest brother over." Also, let him arrange the training of the hunting team for today. ”

Wu Shizhu was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Got it." I'll go over it. ”

He temporarily appointed a young man from his team who had performed well as the temporary team leader, and then headed for the hunting party.

Since Chu He decided to take the team to lead the actual combat training over there in Huyaling, he naturally had to find out the situation over there in advance.

After all, he hadn't even been to Huya Ridge, so how could he command actual combat training.

If you want to go to Huya Ridge, you need a hunter who is familiar with the situation to lead the way, and Wu Shizhu is up to the task.

Jiang Wei, needless to say, is used as a backing for force.

Chu He knows his own situation, he has more than enough self-protection and insufficient attack, and it is not a big problem to go to Huyaling alone, but it is difficult to say if he brings Wu Shizhu, and with Jiang Wei with him, it can be regarded as an extra layer of insurance.

Wu Shizhu soon brought Jiang Wei over.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

Chu He smiled slightly: "I plan to take a trip to Huya Ridge, and the eldest brother and Uncle Wu will go with me." ”

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "It just so happens that I also have this plan, to touch the situation in Huyaling." ”

Then he frowned and continued: "On Huyaling Mountain, there are demon beasts infested. The demon beasts are strong, and the most ordinary demon beasts are quite strong bone warriors, and those powerful demon beasts can even easily kill the Blood Condensation Realm martial artists. ”

"Once I encounter a demon beast, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to deal with it, second brother, it's better not to go there for the time being. ”

Chu He said with a smile: "I just plan to feel the situation under Huya Ridge, even if I really want to enter Huya Ridge, it is impossible to go deep into the mountains and forests, with the eldest brother and Uncle Wu here, there will be no problems." ”

Then, Chu He looked at the members of the village protection team with a smile: "You have all trained me, don't think that I can be lazy if I am not there." ”

"If you let me know that you didn't complete the mission, not only will you not have a rest tomorrow, but you will have to double the amount of training!"

Huyaling is actually not far from Qinghe Village, and after crossing the small river, it is about 20 miles away.

This small river is regarded as a natural barrier in Qinghe Village, although it is only forty or fifty meters wide, it also blocks most of the beasts of Huyaling on the opposite bank.

Children in Qinghe Village are never allowed to go to the other side of the river.

Despite this, the evil beasts of Huyaling also crossed the river from time to time to attack the villagers of Qinghe Village, which was also one of the reasons why Chu He set up a village protection team to be supported by the villagers.

For the villagers of Qinghe Village, guarding against the threat of wild beasts is much more realistic and urgent than preventing bandits from attacking Qinghe Village.

The eighteen villages of Changding Township, and even the entire Datong County, are rumored to have very powerful demon beasts on Huya Ridge, and the hunters who go up the mountain have also really encountered the attack of demon beasts.

But I don't know what the reason is, there have never been demon beasts going down to Huya Ridge, and all that came down were ordinary beasts, or evil beasts that contained a little demon beast blood.

Chu He went to Huyaling this time, and he was fully armed, a weighted steel sword, a steel shield, and a steel bow.

Jiang Wei also brought the Crazy Dragon Breaking Tiger Spear and the Steel Bow.

On the contrary, it was Wu Shizhu, who only brought the Mo knife, and the steel shield was not carried.

With Jiang Wei and Chu He here, if the evil beasts of Huya Ridge can threaten Wu Shizhu, it is useless to bring a steel shield, it is better to only bring a Mo knife to reduce the weight and facilitate escape.

Xiaohe did not have a bridge, firstly, to prevent the evil beasts from entering Qinghe Village through the bridge, and secondly, there was no such level of construction.

Don't look at the creek is only forty or fifty meters wide, but according to the measurements of the villagers, the depth is quite amazing.

The riverbed of the small river is V-shaped, it is the overlapping of the mountains of Huyaling Mountain Range and Qinghe Village, the middle position of the river, the villagers of Qinghe Village tied the stone with hemp rope to measure, and the hemp rope of 30 zhang long is put away, and it cannot reach the bottom.

The Chu River and other rivers can only be crossed by wooden boats.

Someone in the village made wooden boats to ferry on this side of the river, and transported the hunters to hunt in Huyaling, and one person needed two yuan at a time, but the two old men who ferried saw Chu He, and refused to accept the money, so Chu He had to give up.

The two old men had been ferrying here for several years, and the boat was quite steady, and in a short time the boat was on the other side.

When he went ashore, Chu He quietly put a handful of copper coins on the boat.

Don't look at the cost of crossing the river is not low, one person costs two dollars at a time, and the number of people who come and go to Huyaling in Qinghe Village every day can reach about 30 people. The two old ferrymen earn about 60 yuan a day, and more than 1,000 yuan a month.

But this ferry work is extremely risky, there are also vicious beasts and big fish in the river, those three or four meters long big fish, the strength is amazing, even the wooden boat can be knocked over.

In the past, the villagers who ferried only seven years at the longest, not retired from old age, but were hit by big fish and died in the small river.

Now Chu Zhiquan organized people to drive boats or go into the water to fish, basically in the flat places of the riverbed outside the village, and also brought wooden guns and bamboo guns with steel spear heads, just for fear of encountering evil beasts and big fish in the river.

For the sake of the update of the cool water in the middle of the night, the collection is recommended to take one!
