Han Li stood in the snow, repairing his bigfoot snowshoes while waiting for the battle between the two lynx to end.

After the lynx triumphed, it dragged the wild wolf to Han Li's side, and a whining sound came out of its mouth.

The wolf's fur was almost rotten, so you can imagine how aggrieved it was to die in the end.

Han Li squatted down and rubbed their heads, looking at the blood stains on their bodies, but fortunately the blood stains were not their own.

Standing up and whistling to the sparrow to continue leading the way, Han Li once again set foot on his way home.

Due to the several changes of route on the way, Han Li no longer knew the road he was taking, and it could be said that there was no road at all, but he knew that the hope of getting home today had become smaller after a delay.

However, this afternoon, Han Li actually picked up several pheasants and wild birds that had been frozen to death in the forest, and they were all frozen to the ground.

This cold and snowy land was like a natural large cold storage, the carcasses of these animals were not broken, even if they didn't eat it, they could give the dogs and lynx food, so Han Li happily put it away.

This discovery made Han Li breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, this situation showed that there were no wild beasts nearby, otherwise these pheasants and wild birds would have been eaten long ago.

At the same time, I confirmed the feeling of not being able to return home today, because if it was close to the village, these frozen pheasants and wild birds would have been picked up a long time ago.

Towards evening, Han Li found a nest of bees in a crevice in a cliff as he climbed over a mountain.

This cute, hard-working little creature is naturally as good as possible, and the queen bee was subdued by Han Li, but the hive did not move for the time being.

In addition, Han Li also strengthened the hive around it, so that ordinary animals could not easily harm the hive, and in the end, only the queen bee left an order to collect linden honey in the spring and left.

Since it was already getting dark, Han Li still planned to set up camp halfway up the leeward mountain today.

However, when he walked halfway up the mountain, he found a large shack that had collapsed, and from above, this big shack was six meters wide and eight meters long, and the usable area inside was at least more than 40 square meters, and there must have been a lot of people living here at the beginning.

Han Li stretched out his spiritual power and walked towards the inside of the shack, the four corners of this large shack were made of thick wood with the mouth of the bowl as the main body, and the two ends were made of wood to build a herringbone frame, and the two herringbones were set up with a horizontal ridge of wooden beams, and at intervals a rafter would be inlaid with a rafter, and the rafters were horizontally tied to pieces of foil made of tree strips, and the foil was coated with thick yellow mud, and the outermost layer was thatch.

The walls were covered with mud after being enclosed by tree trunks, and the whole large shack had only one door and two windows on the south side.

Although it was the first time Han Li had seen such a large shack in the mountains, he had already heard the villagers talk about it countless times.

In the past, the "beards" either lived in caves or woodcarved flutes in the mountains, and this kind of large shacks that are not resistant to cold are generally built by ginseng pickers.

They generally dig sticks and mallets in the summer, and once they find a good place, they will choose to build a big shack to live in, and they call this "stick mallet shack" or "press robber".

If you look at the mountain scenery well, you must lead the participants to choose a place to "press and rob", that is, to build a residence.

Where the robber presses, where is the home, the mountain catchers eat, sleep, shelter from the rain, and rest in the "pressing" robbers.

The snow in the open space directly in front of the big shack was full of dead grass, and the first place to enter was the kitchen, but the situation at the scene was very strange, the ground was bird droppings, bird feathers, animal feces, and weeds.

There are also iron pots, kitchen knives, large bowls and other items on the stove, although the iron pot has rusted and can no longer be used, but an iron pot has meant a lot of money in the past and now, and it is not normal for people to abandon it here.

Unless this group of people all encountered an accident, but according to the area of this big shack, there can be at least more than 20 people living here, and what will be the situation where more than 20 people can't come back?

Han Li then walked inside, where the partition was made of tiny branches, and there was a rusty lantern and an oil pot on a simple table in the room.

There is also a table on the back wall, on which are placed two wine jars and a wooden box, and a small shrine is set up in the middle.

Han Li swept it with his spiritual power and found that there was a magnificent red cloth inside the wooden box, which was wrapped in deer bone sticks, mallet halters, mallet axes, mallet scissors, mallet knives, and so on, as well as something made of sheepskin.

Except for sheepskins, Han Li had seen other things in the villagers' homes, and they were a full set of tools for digging ginseng.

The shrine in the middle must be dedicated to the mountain god, because the mountain pickers, whether they are the head or the ordinary team members, believe in the mountain god very much.

After the two wine jars were opened, you could still smell the wine, but unfortunately the wine could not withstand the evaporation of the world for a long time, and there were only circles of seals left in the wine jar, as well as an unknown layer of black substance at the bottom of the altar.

Han Li thought for a moment and put away all the wine jars and small boxes, as for the shrine, it was better to leave it here, but he took two sea bowls from the kitchen outside, wiped them clean, and poured the bowls full of Kitakura wine with his own decomposition space.

Turning his head to look at the kang, the cover on it had weathered and turned into a black and hard lump inside, and a few rats that had been startled by Han Li came out of it.

Han Li circled around the three rooms, and only then did he realize that there were a few things missing here, that is, every mountain chaser had a mountain axe and a mountain chapel stick, and even a musket.

Because it is a very dangerous job to dig ginseng in the mountains, the bites of fierce beasts and poisonous mosquitoes are only pediatrics, and these are not too big a problem as long as there are enough people in the mountains.

Although not everyone has a musket, the axe and the stick are essential and indispensable for them.

Muskets and axes can ward off wild beasts, and dry tobacco pouches can ward off small bites of poisonous mosquitoes.

The mountain stick can not only beat the grass and scare the snake, pull the grass to find the ginseng, the most important thing is to determine each other's orientation by beating the tree trunk to prevent everyone from getting separated from each other.

Because getting lost in the deep mountains and old forests is the most fatal, even the old leader who has driven the mountains all his life does not dare to guarantee that he can find his way home smoothly every time.

In particular, digging ginseng in the mountains is mostly in summer and autumn, and the most important thing in the mountains at this time is all kinds of climate change.

Cloudy, foggy, and rainy are the norm, and sometimes it can change several times a day.

Sometimes the sun shines and scorchs people, sometimes the wind blows, the black clouds roll, the lightning and thunder, and the rain pours.

This kind of weather change causes fog the most, and once the fog is raised, the mountain chaser in the hand of the mountain catcher can confirm the location of his companion becomes their most important life-saving tool.

Judging from the current situation, the group of mountain chasers who originally lived here may have had an accident when they went out to look for ginseng with their guys.

But the specific situation is difficult to say, they may have dug up the "big goods", and happened to meet their peers who wanted to make money, and wiped out all these people.

Maybe they lost their way after encountering the fog, and as a result, they all went in different directions, and finally all died in the depths of the forest due to various accidents?

Han Li shuddered at the thought of this, fortunately he had a sparrow to guide him, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost.

However, in either case, he didn't plan to spend the night here, mainly because it was too crowded.

Han Li kept walking towards the foot of the mountain, and here he found a small river ditch hidden by heavy snow, which might be the place where the group of mountain chasers took water every day.

Han Li walked to the side for a while, until the sparrow couldn't see the road and couldn't give him any more directions, so he could only set the location for today's overnight stay at a large dirt slope next to it, this place used the golden finger to save effort.

Han Li had done this kind of temporary resting place many times along the way, so it took him a short time to get this overnight pit in order.

After closing the door, lighting the fire, and boiling the water were completed, Han Li was sitting on the edge of the fire and waiting for the water to boil, when he suddenly remembered the animal skin he had just found in the small box.

I don't know what is written on it?
