The next day, Zhang Fan and Xue'er got up early, had dinner, and each carried a large package to the south.

The morning of the Beast Forest is no different from the other mountains and forests of the 100,000 Great Mountains. The emerald green peaks are undulating on the vast land, layers of mist are shrouded in the mountains, the breeze blows, and the continuous peaks appear and disappear from time to time, like a shy girl, with layers of white gauze scarves on her head. The sunlight shines through the forest, gradually dispelling the thick fog, and the dew drops on the flowers and leaves reflect the light from time to time. The rat brothers and sisters who had been busy all night gradually hid in their own holes, eating delicious dried fruits, while basking in the sun, the newly awakened birds chirping and flying in the forest, the insects that were stuck to the leaves with dew quickly turned over and got up to avoid those ruthless predators, the bison were already happily eating the delicious and juicy fresh grass on the green grass, and the tiger family was still sleeping in bed because of the last meal. Seeing that the sky was already dawning, except for the nightcrawlers who were accustomed to working underground and the animal families who had been preparing for the next few days, the other members of the Beast Forest, whether animals or plants, were preparing for a new day.

Zhang Fan and the two hurriedly walked on the ground of the mountain forest covered with dead leaves and soaked in dew, tall or short trees, beautiful or ugly flowers, and slow birds quickly passed by the two of them. Not long after, a canyon surrounded by huge bare rocks and with a waterfall flowing from top to bottom appeared in front of Zhang Fan's eyes. The waterfall falls in a parabolic shape from above over the rock surface and directly to the bottom of the canyon, creating a huge, clear pool of water several meters deep. The waterfall crashes into the pool with a rumbling sound and splashes all over the sky, forming a rainbow across the canyon in the light of the morning sun. The overflowing pool flows to the low ground, rushing down the ravines below that have been washed by the stream countless times, and finally disappears into the thousands of ravines. Peach trees full of red and green peaches form a forest around the stream, trying to absorb the nutrients and water brought by the stream, absorbing the sunlight that enters the canyon, and at the same time greedily breathing in the moist air around them. A group of monkeys that had just gotten up scurried around the peach forest, startling the birds that had just come to steal the peaches. However, this qiē was disturbed by the two young girls who were carrying huge packages and walking towards the canyon while talking.

As the two walked towards the canyon, bursts of laughter became clearer and clearer from far to near.

"Childe, there is water and peaches here, let's live here for a while, right?" One is carrying a small package, about one meter five, convex and backward, wearing a green skirt, combing cloud sideburns, skin like clotted fat, melon seed face, willow eyebrows, fox eyes, Qiong Yao nose, cherry red

The girl with the lips walked while pulling the young man's arm and said coquettishly.

The boy next to the girl also has an extraordinary temperament. A huge package with a length of one meter seven or eight behind a wide white shirt hung on the young man's one meter five or six high, and the back of his emaciated body fluttered slightly with his brisk steps. A smile on his fair face, along with the shaved brow, star-bright pupils, thin lips and white jade-like front teeth, added to his charming temperament. This young man is Zhang Fan, who has just broken through the fog and entered the deep mountains.

Hearing the praise of his little maid, Zhang Fan, who had already seen the entire canyon in his eyes, smiled and looked at the location of her gaze, and replied with satisfaction: "Well, this is really a quiet place made in heaven. Let's choose a leeward cave here as a temporary homestay. Then the two entered the peach forest.

When Zhang Fan and the two passed through the peach forest, a two-meter-high, water-fronted, sunny and leeward, spacious and bright, dry and clean cave appeared in front of Zhang Fan and the two. Zhang Fan took Xue'er and walked quickly into the spacious stone cave that was more than half a meter high from the water, found a raised stone bed and put all the packages on it, and then sat on the side and meditated cross-legged, silently recovering.

After a while, as a white gas slowly spit out from Zhang Fan's mouth, Xue'er also stood up, looked at her son-in-law, and asked, "Childe, are we going to pick medicine today?"

"Don't worry, we'll walk around the valley today and pack up our accommodation by the way. Zhang Fan saw Xue'er ask him, and said confidently, "In addition, there is a peach forest nearby, we can pick some to taste." ”

In the depths of the peach forest, the monkeys found that their orchard had been invaded by strangers, and they jumped to the branches and shouted, trying to drive away the outsiders but were a little afraid to come forward, so they had to shout and protest on the side.

After Zhang Fan and the two inspected the surroundings of the canyon, they came to the peach forest, each holding a blue cloth bag and constantly shuttling between the peach forests to pick those ripe and intact peaches, and after a while, the two picked two large bags, and then returned to the cave where the luggage was placed.

In the cave, as the peach pits flew one by one, a third of the blue bags around Zhang Fan had become empty again. Xue'er, who was sitting on the side, also left layers of peach juice stains on her mouth. After Zhang Fan found that he could no longer eat the next peach, he stood up, came to the side of the package, picked up the black sword, and wandered around the cave, constantly cutting off the rocks. In a short time, three stone houses, several stone beds, stone tables and chairs, several stone pots and pans, and a huge stone door just enough to block the entrance to the cave appeared.

Seeing that Childe had tidied up the stone cave, Xue'er said, "Childe, let's go find some hay and branches to decorate the cave, right?"

"Oh, thanks to Cher's reminder, otherwise I might not have remembered until I went to bed at night. Zhang Fan listened to Xue'er's words and said with a little embarrassment, "Since we plan to use this place as a temporary home, we naturally need to prepare some more things." Then the two men walked out of the cave.

After a while, Zhang Fan and Xue'er came to the cave with some hay and a few big trees. They used fine iron swords to cut the wood, made some common wooden furniture, and put a fence in front of the cave door. At this point, the prototype of a small family was formed.

Zhang Fan and the others arranged the cave house, and spread the hay they brought and the bedding they brought from home this time, and a new home no less than the old house appeared in this valley.

After a qiē was over, Zhang Fan said: "Xue'er, I found a group of monkeys in this canyon, maybe there are good herbs, let's go and have a look?" "Okay, I'm idle and have nothing to do." Xue'er smiled, "But Childe, we have to put on leather armor to avoid being attacked by monkeys." Zhang Fan smiled: "Well, that's good." We brought our swords with us, and a couple of containers for things. Then Zhang Fan took the black sword on his back and took Xue'er out of the cave and went to the peach forest.

After a while, Zhang Fan and Xue'er came to the peach forest. In the red and green peach forest, the fragrance of peaches wafts from time to time, and dozens of monkeys are jumping down the mountain, picking and eating peaches.

When the monkeys saw that the robbers who had just occupied their peach orchard had returned, they all sent warning signals to their companions. Zhang Fan and the two approached, and several slightly stronger monkeys bared their teeth at the two young men and women, expressing their protest, but they did not dare to rush forward. Zhang Fan saw that most of these monkeys were first-grade brute beasts, and only the three leaders were second-grade brute beasts, so he said to Xue'er: "Xue'er, you go and deal with those first-grade gray monkeys, and I will clean up these second-grade black monkeys." Let's do it together. Then the two of them pulled out the three-grade fine iron sword and killed the monkeys.

Zhang Fan saw the three black monkeys baring their teeth and roaring at him, and he didn't back down a step, so he quickly rushed to the side of a black queen in the early stage of the second grade, inserted a sword into the heart of the black monkey, and then quickly pulled it out. The black monkey obviously didn't expect Zhang Fan to suddenly kill him, but he was killed by Zhang Fan with a sword. Seeing this, the other two black monkeys next to him saw that the third brother was killed, and they actually put down their timidity and rushed towards Zhang Fan together. However, just as Zhang Fan attacked the black monkey, two black tails more than one meter long also hit the black sword and leather armor on Zhang Fan's body at the same time, shaking Zhang Fan's chest. Zhang Fan found that he was beaten by two black monkeys, and his face was suddenly full of hideousness, and he slashed at the gray monkey in the late second grade with his sword, and the gray monkey was immediately divided into two from the middle. The mid-second grade black monkey next to him was anxious to see that the two brothers were killed by Zhang Fan in the blink of an eye, and a touch of fear flashed in its eyes, but then its eyes were full of blood, and it actually dragged its injured body, jumped up from the ground, and rushed towards Zhang Fan desperately. Seeing this, Zhang Fan hurriedly dodged and jumped to the side, and then slashed at the monkey's neck with a sword, and suddenly the monkey's head flew over, blood gushed out, splashing Zhang Fan's whole body. From Zhang Fan's attack on the black monkey to the killing of the three black monkeys, it only took a few minutes. Zhang Fan saw that the black monkey was dead, so he turned to look at Xue'er. At this time, Xue'er was fighting with the two gray monkeys, Zhang Fan saw this and walked quickly towards Xue'er, and split a gray monkey beside Xue'er in half with a sword.

At this time, the gray monkeys found that the leader had been killed by the enemy, and immediately dispersed. Seeing this, Zhang Fan killed a few slow gray monkeys and didn't chase them. When he returned to Cher again, Cher had already stabbed the gray monkey she was fighting with and was lying on the ground. In the end, she used all her strength to stab the gray monkey in the abdomen, and the gray monkey, who was already lying on the ground, finally swallowed his last breath, but his bloodshot eyes were still staring at the girl who killed him, full of unwillingness.

However, when Xue'er saw her son come back, she actually dropped her blood-stained iron sword and ran into Zhang Fan's arms and cried. Zhang Fan saw that Xue'er was covered in mud and her hair was scattered, although she was not injured, she was made very wolf by the gray monkey, and hurriedly comforted: "Xue'er, be good." Slowly you get used to it, in fact, killing a brute beast is almost the same as killing a chicken, but practice makes perfect. Xue'er's face was covered with blood and mud, and she cried and said, "Childe, I just wanted to keep the gray monkeys from harassing you, but I didn't know that they were screaming and throwing those branches and peach pits at you." I couldn't get angry, so I fought with the gray monkey, woo ""Hehe, just fight, no need to cry." Zhang Fan said helplessly. Xue'er cried: "Childe, I'm just a little scared"

Zhang Fandao couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed the topic and said, "Let's go, let's go to the monkey cave and see if there are any good things." ”

Zhang Fan and the two walked in the direction where the monkeys came, and finally came to a grotto. He walked around the monkey cave a few times, and saw that the monkey cave was empty, full of gravel and dirt, and there were no herbs, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

However, when Zhang Fan passed by a small stone cave blocked by a big stone, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of wine, so he happily shouted to Xue'er not far away: "Xue'er, come here, there are good things here." ”

Zhang Fan and the others moved away from the stone and entered the cave. It was found that there were dozens of boulders in the small hole, and there was a small stone pool on each stone, and hundreds of red and fragrant peaches were piled up at the bottom of the water, and there were rich wine fragrances wafting out from time to time in the pool water.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan said: "Xue'er, this is the legendary monkey brew." It has a huge effect on the cultivation of internal breath, and it can quickly replenish the body, so let's pack it up. Xue'er said with surprise on her face: "Childe, is this true? It's just that a brute beast is not a human, how can it make wine?" "Hehe, it's normal for you to think this thing is strange." ”

Zhang Fan smiled, "Monkeys like to collect all kinds of delicious fruits and pile them together. The ripe fruit does not rot when it is not broken, but ferments on its own, and over time, the flesh of countless fermented fruits falls off and mixes together to form a delicious fruit wine. It's just that this wine is made by monkeys, and the monkeys gradually like to drink this fruit wine, and over time, people call this natural wine monkey brewing. Then the two chatted and packed up the monkey brew, and finally got dozens of monkey brews that were several years to twenty or thirty years old.

Zhang Fan and the two received the monkey brew, got out of the monkey cave, and after a while, they came to the peach forest. Zhang Fan said: "Xue'er, you take the monkey stuff, I'll take these monkey corpses, and you can eat monkey meat at night." Then Zhang Fan and the two returned to the cave with the monkey corpse and the monkey brew. Zhang Fan and the others first skinned the monkey, then discarded the parts of the monkey's internal organs that were not easy to clean up, and finally roasted the monkey meat into jerky and stored it as dry food for the next few days.

In the evening, Zhang Fan and Xue'er had a sumptuous all-monkey feast. After the meal, the two of them each picked up a gourd monkey brew and drank it while cultivating. It's a pity that Xue'er can't drink enough, and she fell asleep after drinking half a catty.
