Chapter 731: The Land of Plenty
Scolding and scolding, Han Li observed the surrounding situation very carefully and slowly retreated, this retreat retreated to the back of a mountain, there were no human footprints here, and at the same time, it was far away from our patrol route, it belonged to a relatively safe area.
After Han Li retreated here, he still made himself a temporary resting manhole, but this manhole was relatively hidden, and it didn't have the usual unconcealed appearance, and then he stretched out his spiritual power and began to look for traces of owls around.
If there are many ordinary birds in this mountain forest, it is a bit difficult to find an animal like an owl.
However, there was no way to do it, in order for Han Li to cross the river safely, he could only choose to cross the river at night.
However, most of the birds would become blind by night, so Han Li could catch an owl two days later, and if he couldn't, he would rather go back the way he came than risk his own life.
However, Han Li's luck was quite good, he didn't go far before he found two petite owls in a tree hole.
They are tan in color, with a flat top of the head with fine white spots, light eyebrow lines, a wide white mustache that makes the two large eyes appear particularly large, a brown back with white spots, and a gray belly with brown longitudinal stripes.
These are two small owls with longitudinal bellied bellied owls, also known as: the little owl, the little owl, and the little oriental owl, their body length is only about 20 centimeters, which is the smallest one in the owl family.
Although the distance of the tree hole is within the range of spiritual power, if you want to use the "Elementary Beast Technique" to control the other party, you still need to grasp it in your hands.
After Han Li found the target, he didn't ink, he climbed the big tree in three or two clicks, and reached out to catch the two scared little guys, but he didn't expect these two little guys to be quite fierce, and they actually wanted to peck him with their mouths, but the hole in the tree was so small that there was no way to dodge.
Seeing this, Han Li hurriedly retracted his hand, and used the decomposition to expand the tree hole to have some room for maneuvering, and only then did he successfully catch the two little guys, and then arranged the primary beast control technique.
Before Han Li could get down from the tree, these two little guys began to fly around him, maybe because they were small and a little stupid, or maybe it was a bonus after being controlled by the primary beast control technique, in short, Han Li felt that their appearance was quite cute.
When Han Li took them back to the manhole where he was temporarily resting, he first took out some small pieces of animal internal organs to decompose for them to eat, and then asked them to go around to investigate the situation, while Han Li stayed where he was and began to strengthen the raft that had been made.
Because Han Li had just seen the situation of the Amazar River, a tributary of the Black River, it should be four or five hundred meters wide, although there would definitely be places where the river was relatively narrow, but he didn't have time to look for it a little bit.
Combined with the respective inspectors of both sides, as well as the width of the river and the mixing of ice and water on it, the original two-story raft is a little less compatible.
Therefore, Han Li wanted to turn the original two-story raft into three layers, and he also had to add a low wooden wall to the front and back of the raft to prevent himself from being spotted by the opposing patrol personnel from shooting bullets.
Will the raft become too heavy in this way? No matter how heavy Han Li is, he can directly collect and release the decomposition space, so he doesn't have to carry it himself, and he is afraid that it will be heavy?
However, with the help of the Golden Finger, it was not too difficult to retrofit those rafts from the original.
Han Li had finished the raft and put it all into the decomposition space, and when he sat on the ground and looked at the white clouds in the blue sky in a daze, two little owls landed beside him silently.
After communicating, Han Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and after he got out of the Mo River, he went straight north recklessly, complaining that there were not many people here, but the fact was that there were not only villages here, but also many troops. Tuo Farm, not too far to the east is the famous Rouge Ditch in history, and the personnel in these places are all real guns.
At this time, Han Li also remembered the notice he had seen at Aunt Liu's side about punishing the educated youth "Xiong Xianxin" in Shanghe Village, who had been arrested in the first place when he was panning for gold near Rouge Gully.
Han Li didn't know at the moment that he had been lucky in the past few days, it wasn't that there were no people on his way, but that these populated places had been perfectly avoided by himself, thinking about the consequences if he was reckless enough to reach the warning range of Rouge Gully.
Han Li got up and added another layer of camouflage to the manhole he had just made, to see if there were no flaws, and then to see that it was still early, before he walked in with the two little owls in his arms.
After the door was closed, there were no fingers inside, and Han Li hurriedly took out the horse lantern from the decomposition space and lit it.
In this situation, you can't burn firewood to make a fire, and if the smoke comes out and attracts the people around you, it is not a matter of trouble, and if you don't get it right, it will be a big problem.
Fortunately, there was still some charcoal in Han Li's decomposition space, although the amount was not much, it was enough for him to boil water, cook, and heat his current life.
After lighting the charcoal and boiling water for himself, Han Li continued to communicate with the two little owls.
At this time, Han Li felt as if his luck had run out on the way he came, because there were only three or four small villages in a large area around the other side of the Amazar River, although he couldn't get a detailed number from the two little owls, but according to the impression in their minds, there were quite few people in these villages, and as for whether there were big towns in the farther places, I didn't know.
The small village, the small number of people, and the lack of towns meant that Han Li had no way to conduct large-scale transactions like he had done in Zakalsky District last time, and even if there were shops in the village, it was estimated that there would be no good things, let alone find a suitable Yanma to expand his spiritual power.
Han Li was depressed for a while and began to comfort himself, since he had already arrived here, he had to go over and take a look at anything, and besides, the other side of the river was not without any benefit.
At the very least, there are dense forests and wild animals here, and the key is that these things are completely unkind to put away by themselves, and after crossing the river, let the little owls continue to explore, and you can also fly for a while to discover the existence of the town.
Han Li waited for the water to boil and then made himself a cup of tea, took out the baked cakes and red sausages he bought from the decomposition space and dealt with them simply, and then checked the guns, magazines, long, medium, and short javelins, everything was ready and just waited for the night.
When night falls, many animals here also begin to emerge to feed, and the sounds of various nocturnal animals continue to hear.
Han Li also let the two little owls out to observe the situation, while he continued to lay on the edge of the fire and continued to close his eyes.
The time was soon approaching two o'clock in the morning, this was the time when people were most likely to be sleepy and slack, and it was also the time that Han Li had specially chosen to cross the river.
Han Li cleaned up all the things in the manhole, braced up his mental strength and walked out, and after turning around and restoring the place as it was to its original state, he beckoned the two little owls to lead the way towards the Amazar River. Walk by the river.
Once at the river, Han Li had one little owl stand guard nearby while the other flew to the other side of the river to observe.
After getting the news that there was no situation, Han Li slowly lowered the raft from the decomposition space to the surface of the river, and this process did not make the slightest sound except for the layers of ripples on the water surface.
Han Li lightly jumped onto the raft, took out two oars and began to row towards the opposite shore, with a little owl in front of him to guide the way, relying on his spiritual power in the near distance, he used the raft alternately to move forward when he encountered the ice that could not be rowed.
Han Li quickly put away the raft after reaching the opposite bank, and disappeared into the jungle like a sturdy leopard led by two little owls.
When Han Li stopped again, it was already slightly dark, and he had completely entered the forest at this time.
There are still sparse houses on both sides of the river, but it seems that no one has ever visited here, and the mountains are full of all kinds of towering trees, such as larch, red pine, spruce, fir, pine sylvestris, oak, birch, ash and so on.
Although the ground was covered in snow right now, Han Li could still feel the rich layer of decay under the snow when he stepped on it, not to mention the wild animals he had disturbed along the way.
All kinds of circumstances showed that there were abundant resources here, and Han Li expressed contempt for Lao Maozi's wasteful situation from the bottom of his heart, but now it was still very close to the border guard station by the river, so it was not suitable to help them collect some of the resources here.
After Han Li took a breath, he continued to set off towards the depths of the forest, but at this time, his pace slowed down a lot, and he didn't have the mood to rush away.
When Han Li set off again this time, he had already taken out two short javelins in his hands, and as long as he saw on the road, he would take down all the pheasants, hares, foxes, and other animals that he could take, and he would not chase after those who ran away.
By almost noon, Han Li had already harvested five pheasants and three hares, although the distance was not too far, and there was no way to get rid of these living trees, but those dead trees on the road, as well as the fallen tree trunks, Han Li had all been rounded.
There were also pine nuts, hazelnuts, pine seeds, and pecans, which didn't know how to survive the winter, and Han Li also pocketed them.
In addition, Han Li had stumbled upon a Siberian flying squirrel that he had not seen before, also known as the Eross flying squirrel, which was the most popular one in the mouse family.
This little thing startled him when it flew over Han Li's head, and he used his mental power to find that this little guy who could glide between the trees, its big watery eyes and furry appearance, although it was very cute.
But the two little owls had gone ahead to explore the way, and Han Li himself wanted to live it, and it was very, very big, so he let go of this cute little mouse that could fly.
At this time, Han Li, who had been nervously hurrying since the early hours of the morning, was already hungry, so he found a mountain with a relatively wide view, found a leeward rock, and built a fire pit behind a stone that could prevent the beasts from sneaking up and began to cook.
The pheasants caught on the road were decomposed and blanched, the hares were decomposed and roasted next to the fire, and all the internal organs were left for the two little owls to come back and eat.
The pheasant was very tender and cooked in two clicks, Han Li brought the pot down, boiled the water, turned the hare over, and then began to eat.
After he had eaten all the two pheasants, including the soup and meat, the hare next to him was roasted only with the outer layer of meat.
Han Li simply took out a knife and cut off the layer that had been roasted on the outside, sprinkled it with ingredients and started eating, the two hares took turns to cut and eat, and drank a cup of tea in the middle, the speed of the roast could barely be enough for him to eat.
Before Han Li's hare was finished, the two little owls that had gone to reconnoiter the situation flew back, and the news they brought was that there was a railway behind the five hills to the north, and a large area of relatively flat col behind the seven hills to the west, where there were some houses and people.
The railway is estimated to be the Siberian Railway, this railway can become something that runs through the Outer Khingan Mountains, and if you have enough time, you can use it as a landmark, but now it depends on the situation.
As for the residents in the mountain col, Han Li was not interested, mainly because there were few people, according to the description of the little owl, there were only more than ten houses there, and if he went in by himself, not only would he have to take a certain amount of risk, but he would not be able to exchange anything there, so Han Li did not plan to go.
However, according to the route he had been walking north, Han Li had almost figured out where he was now, which should be at the junction of Amur Oblast and H Baikal Krai.
This place is not to say that it is now, and in later generations it belongs to the kind of deserted wilderness, and if you want to find a decent town, you have to travel at least two or three hundred kilometers through these mountains.
If you wanted to go to a bigger town, there was only one way left in front of Han Li.
Go? Or not going? In the end, Han Li decided to go after eating the roasted hare, if he couldn't go back here to exchange something, then he didn't venture across the border in vain.
After Han Li made up his mind, he packed up his things, directly released some dirt from the decomposition space to extinguish the fire in front of him, and beckoned the two little owls to lead the way towards the railway due north.
However, Han Li did not give up hunting and gathering resources along the way, and if he encountered the prey, he would fight it, and even if he couldn't meet it.
But these old trees are good things, and in the future, whether you use them for heating, decorating houses, furniture, or exchanging them for money when the time is right.
Although these were all things from the Outer Khing'an Mountains, Han Li didn't rush to kill them all, he collected them one by one, leaving enough room for the other trees to grow.
However, Han Li's behavior was very mentally draining, and it didn't take long for him to feel the precursors of symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and nausea that he hadn't experienced for a long time.
This time, Han immediately became honest, although it was still early now, but if he couldn't use his mental power to warn, who knew if a tiger would suddenly come out from behind the trees, next to the rocks, and among the bushes, and pounced on him.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, a good man does not become a brave man, not to mention that Han Li feels that he still has a lot of good life to enjoy in the future, so he will not put himself in danger.
So Han Li hurriedly used his remaining spiritual power to get himself a temporary overnight manhole and came out, built a fire pit with stones, took out a thick and dry log to make an Athena torch and lit it, and lay down and slept without even bothering to eat the animal skin, because only when he fell asleep would the uncomfortable feeling be weakened.
While Han Li was sleeping here, Liu Lao and Guan Lao, who were far away in Sijiu City, sat down together again, and after playing two games of chess, Guan Lao took the initiative to speak.
"Old Liu, when will that Han Li come back?"
"Han Li? You think you've only seen him twice, right?"
