After walking a little further, they found a very badly corroded iron gauntlet.

It can be determined that it is not the standard armor of the Han army, they are the Qin army of the southern expedition.

At that time, the Qin army was divided into many routes, and some of them entered the miasma forest.

It's really amazing that they can get here, but it's a pity they didn't get out.

"They were the Qin army that conquered southern Xinjiang back then, and the other Qin troops did it for them."

Zhao Yingqi saluted them, but it was a pity that the bones of these people were too scattered.

It's not easy to clean up, and they don't have that much time to help bury it.

Their gas masks are to be changed regularly, and not much time can be wasted here.

To leave the miasma forest as soon as possible, the bones of these Qin army soldiers can only stay here.

They could only be simply buried with leaves, and the crowd continued south.

They walked along the way and found scattered human and animal bones.

They walked and rested until evening, and they still did not go out of the forest.

They also carried a lot of things with them, and the march was much slower.

They didn't complain, and they were ready to pitch their tents for the night.

Liu Zhang found cooking smoke in the distance and could be sure that he was not hallucinating.

But you can clearly see the smoke in front of you, which means that there is a village nearby.

"Did you see the smoke in front of you? Am I hallucinating? ”

Liu Zhang pointed in the direction of the cooking smoke, if everyone didn't see it.

That can only say that I am hallucinating, and my body may not have recovered.

If everyone sees it, either everyone is not hallucinating, or everyone is affected by flatulence.

"There was indeed cooking smoke up ahead, and I thought I was hallucinating."

Yu Xiang reconfirmed that there was cooking smoke in front of him, and he could vaguely see the house.

"Why don't you send someone over and take a look, and if someone lives, find out what's going on nearby."

Maybe those people are familiar with their surroundings and can be their guides.

Being able to live in a forest filled with miasma means that their bodies are different from ordinary people.

Liu Zhang nodded approvingly, some people may have developed immunity to flatulence.

They don't need to resort to any tools, they can breathe freely.

And Liu Zhang, they can't, flatulence has a lot of harm to them.

"I'll go check on the situation, and you'll wait here for me to come back."

Liu Zhang went over in person, he knew how to greet them.

Try to be as good as possible and make them feel good about him.

"Then you go ahead, you have to be more careful, and if they don't want to help, don't force it."

Li Guang asked Liu Zhang to go over to greet them and learn about the situation in the vicinity.

Try not to clash with the locals as much as possible, the residents here don't help, Liu Zhang and they will leave tomorrow.

Liu Zhang walked towards the village, and the light in the forest was getting darker and darker.

When Liu Zhang came to the front of the village, some people were busy.

Liu Zhang smiled and waved his hand to greet them, and the villagers looked at him warily.

They thought Liu Zhang was a stranger, and they were very familiar with the people in the village.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

A middle-aged man asked Liu Zhang, who held the axe across his chest.

He made a defensive gesture and saw Liu Zhang wearing a strange mask.

"Don't be afraid, I'm from the north, and I want to ask you something."

Liu Zhang's words were as gentle as possible, and it was understandable that they were so vigilant.

After all, no outsiders have been here for so long, and they are afraid of being hurt.

Fortunately, he had a subspace watch to help translate, and the translated meaning was transmitted to him through invisible headphones.

The other party must not understand what he says, I wonder if they can read what he writes?

Let's write a few words for them to see, these people have been isolated from the world for a long time.

The language outside has also changed, and Liu Zhang saw that they had short hair.

They were dressed in sackcloth, white clothes, and they weren't quite sure what ethnicity they were.

"We're going to South Vietnam, and we're going through this forest. We don't know how long it will take to get out? ”

Liu Zhang gestured as he spoke, hoping that they could understand what he meant.

The middle-aged man seemed to understand, and he thought that the other party might be lost.

"You go that way, all the way south. You can get out of the forest, and if you walk, you have to walk for at least three to five days. ”

He turned around and went into the house, Liu Zhang didn't leave immediately, the other party might have entered the house to get something.

After a while, the middle-aged man pulled out a hide.

"Outsiders often get lost here, and it's easy to die here. Luckily, you met us, and you can take this map to see. ”

Through the subspace watch translation, he learns that the other party kindly gave him a map.

Liu Zhang and the others will give each other some food as a thank you, and it will definitely not be of much use to give each other money.

They rarely leave the forest, they make a living by hunting, and they also gather some wild vegetables.

He took the map and returned to Li Guang and them, he wanted to ask what was the other party's name?

How long have they been here? But when I think about it, I don't know each other very well.

If you ask these questions, it is likely to make the other person disgusted and even deeply hostile.

Outsiders were certainly not welcome here, and he had just looked at the village.

There are more than 20 houses, and there must be several villages in the forest.

"I just asked, and one of the villagers told me that we have to walk all the way from here, and we expect to be able to get out of the forest in three to five days."

Liu Zhang pointed to the route on the map, even if there was no such map.

They can also get out of the forest, he has already sent drones to reconnoitre.

This forest is really big, and if it doesn't work normally, it will take ten days and half a month to walk.

Because this area has not been developed, there are few people living here.

The reason why I chose to take this path is that it is relatively safe.

Although you will encounter wild beasts, most of them are easy to deal with.

"I'll send them some food as a thank you. We'll pitch a tent here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow. ”

Liu Zhang proposed to take some food to thank the villagers, if Li Guang did not agree.

That would only be able to quietly deliver something to the villagers at night, after all, they would help show the way and give the map.

That shows that the villagers are still very helpful and give them some food in return.

"That's as it should be, but fortunately we brought enough food this time."

Li Guang agreed to let Liu Zhang send food to them, which was also a modest effort.

Li Guang asked some Han soldiers to carry the grain over, and the carriage could not pass through the forest at all.

They had to take horses, oxen and mules into the forest and let them carry their belongings.

The vehicle could only stay in Linxiang City, and wait until the next county seat to buy a carriage.

The middle-aged man from before saw them again, and was carrying a sack on his back.

"Thank you very much for the map, this food is for you."

Liu Zhang gestured as he spoke, regardless of whether they could understand it or not.

Liu Zhang and Han Jun put down the sacks and opened one of the sacks.

There were soybeans in the sack, and the middle-aged man and other villagers recognized the grain in the sack.

The other party kindly gave them food, perhaps really out of gratitude.

They have no grievances with Liu Zhang and others, and there is no need for the other party to harm them.

"Here's some whole grains, please take them, we won't bother you."

Liu Zhang was ready to leave, not wanting to disturb their quiet life.

"Thank you for the food, I'm just sending you a map."

The middle-aged man thanked Liu Zhang and saw the grain in the sack.

The villagers are all impressed, and they usually make a living by hunting and gathering.

Sometimes they also go to nearby towns to buy food, using non-toxic mushrooms collected from the forest.

There are also the skins of beasts that they don't want to have much interaction with people from the outside world.

Those villagers didn't keep Liu Zhang, since it was their gratitude.

Then take the food, as long as they don't come and disturb the lives of the people in their village.

The villagers never go to live outside, they think the forest is the safest.

Liu Zhang also didn't ask where their ancestors came from? What ethnicity are they?

The villagers were still vigilant and didn't want to communicate too much with the outside world.

Then do as they wish, and don't want to disturb their quiet life.

Liu Zhang: After they put down the grain, they left, and the villagers opened the sacks.

It was full of fresh grain, and they divided it together.

It is not suitable for cultivation in the forest, and these grains will not be eaten for long.

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Zhuang and the others who were far away, and felt that they were very dangerous.

They must not be left as guests, it is not that they are indifferent and ruthless.

It's hard for outsiders to guess, they just want to avoid the strife of the outside world.

If the forest is gone, they will have to move to the mountains.

Liu Zhang: They returned to the camp, and the tents in the camp had already been set up.

"Did you ask them what their identities were?"

Li Guang saw that they came back so soon, and the other party did not retain them as guests.

"I didn't ask, they were still very wary and didn't seem to want to cross paths with us."

Perhaps they have been hiding in the forest for generations because they have been suffering from war.
