Chapter 379: The Happy Life of a Hunter
When Mu Qianmei and the others saw the hunters, those hunters also saw Mu Qianmei and his party coming out of the Nine Star Forest.
They were even more surprised than Mu Qianmei, because they saw that Mu Qianmei and the others actually came out of the Nine Star Forest, and they were only a few children, the eldest was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger one was only six or seven years old, so they stopped, and one of the older middle-aged people said to the Tiger King:
"This little brother, how can you go to the Nine Star Forest? It's very dangerous, and it's said that some of the animals in it have already cultivated into demons, and they'll eat humans. ”
The Tiger King didn't know how to answer this for a while, so Mu Qianmei naturally walked up a few steps forward and said to the hunter:
"Thank you uncle for the reminder, we also got lost for a while and walked in, and found that it was indeed quite dangerous inside, so we quickly walked out, may I ask uncle, what is this place?"
As she spoke, she looked at the other party without a trace, and found that they were all ordinary hunters, there were six of them, the younger one was in his twenties, and the older one was only in his forties, which was the strongest age among human beings.
As soon as Mu Qianmei spoke, those few people looked at her together, and when they saw that this little girl was actually wearing the bride's wedding dress, they were a little puzzled for a while, but the middle-aged hunter replied:
"This is the periphery of the Nine Star Forest, and further away there is a valley called Listening to the Wind Valley, and outside the Listening Wind Valley is our tribe, called the Cangmu Tribe, we belong to the Cold Mountain Alliance, where are you from, how can you not understand the situation here?"
Mu Qianmei said:
"We come from a distant tribe, called the Huaxia tribe, because we encountered a storm at sea, we were blown here by the wind and waves, we went around here and got lost, so we went inside, is there any town around here? It was getting dark and we were looking for an inn to stay in. ”
The middle-aged man frowned and said:
"The Huaxia tribe? How come I haven't heard of it? What alliance do you belong to? ”
Mu Qianmei replied:
"We don't belong to any alliance, just a small tribe on an island, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it, because we rarely come to the outside world."
The middle-aged man asked with a little surprise:
"Look at the girl is still wearing a wedding dress, is this a storm on the day of marriage?"
Mu Qianmei then remembered that she was still wearing a red wedding dress, and she was busy with other things in the past few days, so she didn't care about it, and when she heard the hunter's question, she said casually:
"Yes, on the day of marriage, I encountered a storm at sea and was washed away here, it seems that the day was not well chosen!"
There was a deep sadness in her tone, which was not fake, because she remembered Liu Tingfeng again.
The hunter looked sad at her, and immediately said sympathetically:
"Hey, it's really pitiful, the big day actually encountered such a storm, and was scattered into this remote mountain wilderness, there is no town nearby, there is no inn, this is too close to the Nine Star Forest, there are often wild beasts infested, how can anyone come to find this? We have also settled here for generations by hunting. ”
"Seeing that it's not early, why don't you go back to our Cangmu tribe with us for one night, and then leave tomorrow!"
Mu Qianmei thought about it for a while, and without refusing, she thanked her:
"Thank you uncle for taking me in, then I'll bother you!"
The middle-aged man said enthusiastically as he walked:
"In a rural place like ours, it is rare to see a few outsiders come here all year round, and occasionally some disciples of big gangs go to the Nine Star Forest to practice, and they also come and go like electricity, and almost none of them stay around here, so our Cangmu tribe has not had guests for a long time, and it is also a kind of fate to meet a few little friends today. There is nothing to disturb this, but the conditions of the rural people are relatively simple, and I have to grieve you. ”
Mu Qianmei also replied as she walked:
"When people are in the rivers and lakes, it is good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and when you encounter a shop that does not stick to the village before and after the village, it is also common to sleep in the wilderness."
The middle-aged man couldn't help but say with admiration:
"It seems that a few are not ordinary children, they must also be cultivators, there is also a child with good talent in our village, and he accidentally got a passing old Taoist guidance, and now he has a good achievement, and he is just going to the alliance headquarters to participate in the big competition, if you also want to go to see it, you can just go together!"
Along the way, everyone else followed silently, and the middle-aged man and Mu Qianmei talked while walking.
When it was dark, they just returned to the Cangmu tribe, according to the middle-aged man, the Cangmu tribe has a total of seventy-two villages, each village has dozens of households to two or three hundred households, because they all live in the mountains and forests, so each village is named after a tree or flower, such as poplar village, cedar village, ginkgo village and the like, their village because there is a big locust tree in the village, so it is called locust tree village.
When it was dark, every house lit their oil lamps, and they followed the middle-aged hunter through the village until he walked to the back of the village, where his house was at the back of the village, near the back hill.
Along the way, someone kept greeting him, and at first glance he was a very popular person, and the rest of the hunters left one after another on the way, and when they left, they politely invited Mu Qianmei and them to be guests at home, but Mu Qianmei politely declined.
In the middle, I also passed the big locust tree in the village, and there was a sense of ancient vicissitudes at a glance, and it was estimated that it was seven or eight hundred years old.
The people in the mountains and forests, every household is a wooden building, some are old, some are still brand new, some are relatively simple, that is, they can barely shelter from the wind and rain, and some are repaired more beautifully, and even painted with red paint, which looks a little exquisite.
They came to the middle-aged Orion's house, their family is considered to be an upper-medium family, and the wooden building is still seven or eight percent new, although it is not painted, but it is clean and bright, which makes people feel very comfortable.
They are a family of four, and the couple has a son and a daughter, which can be regarded as a warm and harmonious small family.
The eldest son is sixteen or seventeen years old, the youngest daughter is thirteen or fourteen years old, the son has the simplicity of a country boy, and the daughter has a kind of village girl's beauty.
The hunter's lady was a virtuous man, and after warmly beckoning the guests to sit down, she poured tea for them herself, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner busily, and let the hunter talk to the guests, and asked her two children to help her.
The middle-aged hunter is a more talkative person, and according to his own words, he was also young
I went out of the door, went out, I wanted to worship a famous teacher, after learning martial arts, I wandered the rivers and lakes, but unfortunately the famous teacher did not meet, but I lived on the street, and then met the current lady who was street with her grandfather, at that time her grandfather died in a foreign land because of her age, and she also became an orphan, so the hunter helped her bury her grandfather, and then took her back to her hometown, married and lived together, and since then she has been at ease at home farming and hunting, male farming and female weaving, but also lived a happy life.
After chatting for a while, the hunter's wife had already prepared the meal, because the hunter had been talking with Mu Qianmei, and the atmosphere at home had gradually become much more harmonious, and the hunter's children slowly let go of a little, and they were not so restrained when they brought the food to the table.
Meat dishes are the prey that hunters bring back, vegetarian dishes are vegetables grown at home, and seven or eight dishes are placed on the table, but they are also decent, and they look quite hearty.
For rural people, this is indeed very rich, usually only during the New Year and the festival will eat so well, if it is not for the guests at home, they will not eat so many delicious things at once, so you have to save and eat slowly.
This is the first relatively normal home-cooked meal that Mu Qianmei has eaten since coming to this world, in the snake king, it is meat and fruits, no rice, no vegetables, no normal atmosphere of a family, under the warm greeting of the hunter and his wife, everyone began to eat, Mu Qianmei couldn't help but sigh:
"Uncle, I really envy you for living such a happy life, Auntie's craftsmanship is so good, I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time!"
The hunter smiled happily and said:
"If you like to eat, eat more, uncle saw a group of you children walking in the mountains and forests, just like seeing his own children, so he asked out loud, I didn't expect to be scattered and scattered here after encountering a storm at sea, you are so young to wander outside, our children have not even gone out of the Cold Mountain Alliance, you see, they are about the same age as you, but they don't even dare to speak, they haven't seen the world is different!"
Mu Qianmei replied:
"The rivers and lakes are sinister, it's best not to step into it if you don't step in, how good it is to live a plain and happy life at home, to have parents to love, to be able to eat and dress warmly, isn't it better than being displaced on the rivers and lakes? More importantly, peace is a blessing, and being able to be by your parents' side and live a peaceful life is the greatest blessing. ”
The hunter nodded and said:
"That's right, when I was young, I was full of hope to explore the rivers and lakes, only to find out after going out, the outside world is not as wonderful as imagined, when I was living on the streets, I thought, if I can't return to my hometown in this life, I will never return to my hometown, fortunately I met my wife, under her persuasion, I came back hard, and the people in the village did laugh at me for a while, but, with the joint efforts of the two of us, the days are getting better and better, slowly exceeding the level of ordinary people, and the new house has been built, No one has ever mentioned my unbearable past. ”
Mu Qianmei said thoughtfully:
"I think that happiness is in the distance, but in fact, I look back and find that the real happiness is in front of me, live an ordinary day, do every little thing in front of you, it is a happy life. However, when the uncle went out, it can't be said that he can't look back, at least he met his aunt and married a beautiful and virtuous lady, which is the biggest gain! ”
The hunter laughed again:
"Hahaha...... It makes sense, it makes sense, that's the biggest takeaway from my outing! ”
