Zhao Ming didn't open his mouth to disturb the entanglement of this existence, he had been standing there silently waiting, the existence raised his head and looked at Zhao Ming a few times, and finally seemed to be a little unable to resist Zhao Ming's stubbornness, sighed deeply, his brows also stretched, looked at Zhao Ming and said: "Master come in first, at this time, there is a little old man who slowly speaks......" After speaking, the existence turned around and put the hoe on his back to the wall again, opened the door and walked into the hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhao Ming heard the village chief say this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, walked into the courtyard, and closed the courtyard door casually.

Waiting for Zhao Ming to sit down, the existence took a bowl and poured Zhao Ming a glass of boiled water.

"Don't laugh at the master, the village is too poor, and it is relatively far away from the market town, so there is no tea and other hospitality refreshments to entertain the master, I'm really sorry...... The master will drink some boiled water first...... "After speaking, he put the bowl full of water in his hand in front of Zhao Ming.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming hurriedly folded his hands and said a Buddha name.

"The village chief is looking, the little monk has a request to the village chief, and he is already very pleased to have a night of boiled water reception, so why ask for anything else...... Amitabha Buddha ...... "Zhao Ming picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank all the water in the bowl in one gulp.

Seeing that Zhao Ming was so good, the village chief did not look out at all because of his poor conditions, and his face immediately showed a smile, and he was no longer polite, patted his pants and sat on the chair next to him.

Zhao Ming drank all the water in the bowl, silently put the bowl back on the table, said no more, and quietly waited for the village chief to speak.

The village chief's eyes did not look at Zhao Ming, but looked at the courtyard outside, and only after half a ring did he speak: "Our village has been passed down for almost two hundred years, and our ancestors have lived here, for generations, the conditions here are not very good, and there are not many villages that have camped again, and they are far away from the crowd, and it takes two or three days to go to the nearest Dali town from here, so the villagers in the village will not go out easily......

Speaking of this, the presence paused, was silent for a while, and continued: "This place is close to the old forest, although it is in the outer area, it is not enough for the trees here I don't know how many years to grow, and the roots of the trees in the ground have long been complicated and coiled, which makes us unable to find a good piece of land to grow some food, and even if we plant it, it will not grow, so for generations, our village has relied on hunting in the mountains for a living......"

"But... In this way, casualties are inevitable, and every time the villagers who go into the mountains to hunt and save their hands, the most worrying thing is that someone will never be able to leave the mountain again......" Speaking of this, the old village chief's tone couldn't help but choke a little.

"But this is also unavoidable, after all, if we don't go hunting, then how can we villagers make a living?

Hearing the village chief say this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but think of the hoe that existed on his shoulders before, if this existence can't be planted, then what is the existence going to do with the hoe? But Zhao Mingbi didn't interject, and Zhao Ming himself knew that what the village chief said was not a lie, the trees here are luxuriant, and the roots of the trees underground have taken root for many years, not to mention that the crops can't be planted, even if they are planted, it is impossible to absorb enough fertilizer from the soil, and eventually they can't grow crops.

"Our village chief relies on hunting and selling animal skins into the mountains to maintain the livelihood of the villagers, but I don't know when it began, it has gradually passed down an ancestral motto, that is, the people in the village are not allowed to go deep into the old forest, of course, it is said that a long time ago this ancestral training was not very important, because the prey on the periphery of the old forest is more than enough for us, and the danger is relatively much smaller, after all, many places here have been thoroughly touched by the ancestors for generations, but unfortunately, with the perennial hunting, the prey on the periphery of the mountain gradually decreased, until I became the village chief It is difficult to maintain the livelihood of the villagers...... Eh......" Speaking of this, the old village chief couldn't help but sigh.

"Later, as a last resort, we could only disobey the ancestral teachings and gather the adult hunters in the village to march to the mountains, but ...... The danger in the depths of the old forest is still beyond our expectations, that time in the old forest, I left eleven fresh lives, and eleven families were shattered in that exploration......" At this moment, Zhao Ming could see from the eyes of the old village chief that many emotions such as fear, guilt, and unwillingness were mixed together, and these emotions made the old village chief's body tremble involuntarily.

However, the old village chief quickly calmed down his mood, it was obvious that this was not the first time he had encountered this situation, and he would soon be able to recover.

"After that, I didn't dare to go into the old forest to hunt for half a year...... However, after half a year, the prey in the village could no longer sustain the livelihood of the group, and some people even began to wonder if they should leave this place where they had lived for generations and go out to seek a livelihood......

"As a last resort, I gathered everyone again, and in a voluntary situation, gathered a group of people to march into the mountains...... This time, I had the first experience, followed the old path, avoided a lot of dangers, and finally hunted enough prey for the villagers to save money and eat for half a year...... But even so, there are still three people who have never been able to come back......"

"After that, I made a family rule, you can only enter the mountain once a year, and the men who enter the mountain must have descendants before they are allowed to be recruited into the hunting team, but even so, after so many years, there are still fewer and fewer men in the village, know what you see now......"

Speaking of this, the old village chief couldn't help but smile bitterly......

Hearing what the old village chief said, Zhao Ming thought about it carefully before remembering that he had rarely seen men along the way, mostly women and children, and even the old people were women.

"Now, you should know why they hate someone mentioning the Ten Thousand Realms Mountain so much, because only the birth of the real one who entered the old forest is the outer mountain realm, and their person has never been able to get out of it since he walked in...... Moreover, it is impossible for you to find a hunter who is familiar with the Ten Thousand Worlds Mountain at this moment, except for the women and children in the village at this moment, only an old man like me is still a man, and you can't expect me, an old man, to lead the way for you......"
