In the middle of February of the 58th year of Taijia, Dashishan, Lengshui Town, Jiangxia County, Jingzhou Province, Kyushu Kingdom, was cold in spring.

On weekdays, even ghosts are rare to see on Dashishan, but today more than 300 people gathered at the foot of the mountain, which is particularly lively. Although this group of people was ragged and unkempt, they could still be seen at a glance that they were completely different from the ordinary people in Jingzhou Province, all of them were herdsmen in leather clothes, leather pants and felt hats.

Although the people of the Xiong clan had made full mental preparations, when they actually stood in front of this gray-yellow Xiaotou Mountain, which was only thirty or forty stories high, less than ten miles long and wide, they were still shocked by this bare and barren land.

This big rocky mountain is not so much a stone mountain as a mud and stone mixed earth mountain, the gray is the exposed limestone of different sizes, and the yellow is the clay mixed between the limestones, and the experienced old farmers know that this yellow clay is the most barren, except for the thorns and ferns that can live relatively moist, even other herbaceous plants can not grow, let alone crops with high soil fertilizer requirements.

At the front of the crowd, two low-level officials from Lengshui Town and several people from the southeast line stood in a row, raising their eyes to look at the big stone mountain in front of them.

Standing on the right side of Tugubo is Xiong Kun, who has white eyebrows and white beard, and the old man sighs softly and shakes his head with a bitter face; standing behind the two of them, Xiong Hai, who is as strong as a cow, blushes and scolds loudly: "This mountain where birds don't is worth 100,000 gold coins? Why don't you rob it in Lengshui Town? Don't bring such a bully! Let's go, we won't buy it, go elsewhere!"

"Haizi, shut up for me!" Xiong Kun reprimanded with his head sideways.

Hearing this, Xiong Hai muttered a few words in a low voice, didn't dare to say more, and shut up.

"Hmph!" The middle-aged fat official standing on the left side of Tugubo heard Xiong Hai's complaint clearly, he glanced sideways at Youxiong Hai, and snorted coldly: "What? It's too expensive? Let's talk about it, whether this deal is successful or not, the deposit of 1,000 gold coins will not be refunded! If it weren't for the fact that Mayor Lu and the lady named Youxiong still had a little bit of incense, and if it weren't for the sake of you being relatives of Mrs. Xiong, our Mayor Lu would not have agreed to accept you outsiders! 100,000 gold coins, including this ten-mile radius of the mountain, as well as the nearly 300 acres of woodland at the foot of the west mountain, and the raccoon creek that flows through here, there are mountains, rivers and woodlands, and we Jiangxia County can no longer find such an ownerless feng shui treasure land!"

The more the fat official spoke, the more excited he became, "When you go back, our town civil affairs office has to register the land deeds and the household records of hundreds of people for you, do you know how much work there is in this? I'll tell you the truth, the Honolulu County next door only registers the homeless households, regardless of the old, young, women and children, who charge 50 gold coins per person, and you have more than 300 people here, young and old, according to the price of Honolulu County, you have to spend nearly 2,000 gold coins on the registration alone, but we have waived this fee for you in Lengshui Town, and you are still not satisfied?

Speaking of the fat official later, he was obviously out of anger, he turned his head sideways and said to Tu Gubo: "Mr. Tu Gu, although I am working under Mayor Lu, I am also a person with principles and bottom lines, and I don't have so much spare time to bargain with you foreigners! Buy it or not, you are the one who speaks, you can give me an open word, and I will go back to give Mayor Lu an explanation!"

Tu Gubo listened really well, he nodded to the fat official to show his understanding, after a little thought, he glanced sideways at Youxiong Kun, and the old man said in a low voice: "Under the fence, it is better to have to bow your head than to be a rootless duckweed-like homeless person! Besides, this time with Xiong Tianyin's relationship, she should be honest and not deceive us, I agreed, buy!"

Tugubo nodded to indicate that he had received it, then turned to the fat official and said, "We have decided to buy it!

After paying the money and taking the deed, the Youxiong clan finally bid farewell to the days of exile, and immediately set up camp in Dashishan to discuss the construction of the village.

Early the next morning, the clansmen acted separately according to the division of labor discussed the night before, Tugubo and others went to the town to continue to go through the formalities such as land deeds, and the women were led by Xiong Yunyi and other concubines to buy food and daily necessities in the nearby market, and the male strong laborers were led by Xiong Kun, who was responsible for surveying the terrain and landform, planning the direction and layout of the new village buildings.

A few days later, after the formalities were completed, the tribesmen named the new village "Dashishan Village", deliberately avoiding the word "Youxiong"; the planning and layout of Dashishan Village maintained the original appearance of the original Xushan Youxiong Village to the greatest extent, but a new sacrificial mourning hall was built next to the square in the center of the village, which was specially used to store the urns of the clansmen who died on the way to the southeast line to express the sorrow of the relatives.

The preparatory work for the construction of the village continued until early March, when the building materials such as bricks, sand, cement, lime, timber and thatch were ready, and the civil works of the village were fully rolled out and lasted until late June.

In July, the frogs are singing in the grass, and the cicadas are crying Yangpu.

In the midsummer Banna rainforest, the grass and trees are verdant, the shade covers the sun, the strange pools are steep, and the streams and waterfalls are vertical and horizontal. On a towering tree not far from the south bank of the small rock pool, Tu Gu is hidden in the lush foliage, staring intently at a tidal flat on the southeast bank of the small stone pool, where the terrain is open and flat, and it is a favorite drinking place for the large beasts in the forest.

At noon, the scorching sun hangs in the sky, which is the hottest scene of the day in the Banna rainforest, and all kinds of rare birds and beasts continue to pour out from the forest to drink, play, and enjoy the coolness, just like a natural and harmonious landscape picture.

"Knock-knock-", a small, rhythmic, eerie sound came from deep in the forest.

"It's coming!" Tu Gu glanced at the five six-meter steel spears neatly nailed to the thick trunk of a tree, which he had paid for twenty wild boars from Blacksmith Liu in Coldwater Town. Since Tu Guhun stepped into the "latent realm" in Dashishan Village a month ago, his hearing has become extremely sensitive, and he can detect very subtle sounds in the forest, so that when he hears the strange sound of dong dong, the animals and animals on the edge of the pond are not even aware of it.

"Boom-crackle-", until the sound of the grass and trees in the forest being rubbed, trampled, and broken by some kind of creature came from a distance, and the large and small animals on the edge of the pond heard the sound and scattered in a hurry.

"Knock-knock-", the strange sound got closer and closer, and the earth seemed to tremble with it, and even ordinary people could conclude that it was the heavy footsteps of some kind of large animal.

"Moo roar roar—", a huge roar resounded through the forest, this was the voice of the king, and all beasts avoided it when they heard it.

"Boom-crackle-", I saw a large area of dense trees on the southeast bank of the small stone pond lodging, and then a six-meter-high, long-haired long-toothed mammoth emerged from the forest, and the giant tusks four or five meters long showed that it was the leader of the elephant herd.

"Moo!"

The leader, the mammoth, seemed to feel that there was no danger around the small stone pool, so he turned back to call the elephant herd, and heard a loud and tumbling noise, and a herd of twelve tusked mammoth members finally appeared.

"I'm waiting for you!" Tukuhun held his breath as he gently pulled a steel spear out of the trunk and held it tightly in his hand, patiently waiting for the best time to strike.

It is said that this tusked mammoth was originally an ancient animal, which was originally extinct, and was later resurrected in the laboratory by humans through genetic cloning technology, and then sold to zoos as ornamental animals.

After the outbreak of the "Battle of the Catastrophe", the tusked mammoth took advantage of the chaos to escape from the cage and escaped into the Banna rainforest, after a hundred years of reproduction, it has become one of the top three animal overlords in the Banna rainforest, second only to the Tyrannosaurus rex and the pterodactyl, and the tusked mammoth is known for its large population, large total number, and great harm to human and agricultural production around the Banna forest.
