The roads in the Shennongjia forest area follow the mountains.
In ancient times, under the joint action of orogeny and glacier erosion, the landform here was particularly complex.
In terms of geology, the four types of landforms are all here, including dissolution landforms, dissolution and erosion landforms, denudation and erosion landforms, and accumulation landforms.
The road formed by the mountains is naturally rugged and difficult to navigate.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, several provincial roads were built, the traffic conditions were much better than before, and scenic spots were built, but many remote villages can only be reached by the two legs of the mountain people.
Since the He family's hunting ground gradually got out of control ten years ago, the local government had no choice but to abandon the tourism industry under the warning of the He family.
In the past few years, in the entire Shennongjia forest area, except for the local mountain people, outsiders basically did not come.
As for the more than 20,000 mountain households, most of the young people went to work in the city, and the young people who did not go outside to work were also arranged by the He family to marry and buy a house in a big city to settle down.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer mountain people in Shennongjia, and many villages are simply empty.
Most of these empty villages are naturally formed, and people have gone to the city.
There are two uninhabited villages, which are unnatural, and the villagers disappeared overnight.
One of the villages is called Ganhe Village.
At midnight last night, three people lived in Ganhe Village, two men and one woman.
Miao Xueping, Wei Xingshan, Zhou Lingshi.
The village is not big, originally there were only a dozen or so families, if it were normal, these three guests would really have nowhere to live.
Now the place of residence is naturally not a problem, so I can live wherever I want.
Accommodation is not a problem, but food is a problem.
This trip is for the internal affairs of the Hunting Gate, not the formal hunting business of the Strange Creatures Research Society, and there is no supporting logistics support.
Moreover, the incident happened suddenly, and they came in a hurry, and the Su family's old house was not prepared in advance.
Wei Xingshan and Zhou Ren did carry some field rations in their backpacks, but this was for emergency use when they went hunting in the mountains. Now that they are living in the village, eating this is not good, and it is also considered Material waste.
Zhou Lingshi followed Lin Shuo and the others all the way here. At first, he really thought that the master was going to teach him skills, and then he slowly figured out what it was like.
Hey, what about going to the mountains to learn art? To put it bluntly, he came to serve Miao Xueping.
Zhou Lingshi didn't have any idea about this matter, this Miao Xueping was the master's aunt, so she had to serve as she should.
But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. How can she cook without ingredients
If it was normal, the ingredients would not be a problem, it would all be in the mountains, he Zhou Lingshi was a hunter with seven inches of ability, and hunting a roe deer to hunt a pheasant would be the same as playing.
But the master had ordered before that he was not allowed to enter the mountain until he came back.
This is difficult.
Zhou Lingshi and Wei Xingshan walked around the village this morning.
I searched from house to house, and found that there was still some food in the rice tanks of each house.
There are some vegetables in the field at the entrance of the village, and there is no shortage of green onions, ginger and garlic, especially those big white radishes, which grow really well.
It seems that it can barely deal with a meal or two, but it is a pity that it is not meaty.
Right now, Zhou Lingshi is pulling radishes and picking vegetables, while Wei Xingshan is on the sidelines making a satellite phone call.
Seeing that Wei Xingshan had finished talking on the phone, Zhou Lingshi asked, "Brother, do you think our master will remember to bring some meat when he comes back this trip? It's all vegetarian, and it's okay for one or two meals, but according to The appetite of the two of us will not be able to move in the day after tomorrow."
"Who knows." Wei Xingshan shook his head, and then said, "Junior brother, don't just focus on eating. The two days of the peer alliance ceremony at the foot of Kunlun Mountain are very lively. Just now, my wife called me. Hey, guess what?" Guess, which of the nine members of Liemen can go up this time."
"Who else can it be?" Zhou Lingshi said, "Isn't it the original six families, plus the He family and the Jin family, this last family is either Tang or Zhong."
"The first eight are correct, but you really guessed wrong about the last one." Wei Xingshan said with a smile, "The last family should be named Chu."
"Chu? Is it the Chu family from the Andes in South America?" Zhou Lingshi asked.
"You can do it, kid." Wei Xingshan said in surprise, "I know all of this."
"Don't you know, this family is considered strong in the Qicun family." Zhou Lingshi said, "The reputation of the Tang and He families was not as good as before, but if they really compete in the threshold of offense and defense, the Chu family does have a chance. .”
"It's more than just a chance." Wei Xingshan shook his head and said, "The threshold of this year's peer alliance is offensive and defensive, this Chu Hongyi of the Chu family, according to his wife, the road is crushing, and he is the same as the attacker. He Yongchang didn't go through three tricks in her hands."
"Ah?" Zhou Lingshi was surprised, "Then the He family is not nine inches high?"
"Almost didn't make it." Wei Xingshan said, "Fortunately, the threshold offensive and defensive competition system of this year's Peer League Ceremony was a double-elimination system at the beginning. He Yongchang broke out from the loser group, caught the last train, and got the qualification to defend the competition .”
"It's just to defend the qualification? Isn't that still not in?"
"You know how to cook and don't care about the competition system." Wei Xingshan gave Zhou Lingshi a blank look, "The threshold for offense and defense is to first determine the nine teams to defend the competition. The seven teams nominated by our master will be automatically qualified to defend the competition. Two places have to be compared first.
This is how they competed in the past two days, Chu Hongyi and He Yongchang were considered to have won, and together with Shi Niang and Zhang Jin, they became the defenders.
In addition to these two, nine attackers who performed well in previous battles and had no problems with family hunting evaluation and inheritance tasting were awarded the qualification to attack.
On the following day, the nine guardians will represent their families on stage and accept the challenge from the challengers.
If you defend it, you will get the qualification for nine inches. If you can't defend it, you will be able to attack nine inches. "
"It's too complicated." Zhou Lingshi shook his head, "Can you pick up the important ones?"
"Hey, in a word, tomorrow, the threshold attack and defense will officially start." Wei Xingshan said, "I guess no one from Chu Hongyi and He Yongchang will challenge them. After all, they have played a round and know the depth. On the contrary, the others The seven defenders will probably be very busy, especially Miao Xiaoxian and our master's wife, these two are relatively weak."
"Oh." Zhou Lingshi nodded, "The one who called you just now was the master's wife?"
"That's right."
"So does she sound nervous?"
"A little nervous." Wei Xingshan rubbed the back of his head, "Aren't you asking me where Master is going? I guess I want Master to comfort her."
"Then where did our master go?"
"He." Wei Xingshan curled his lips, "He's gone back to his old job."
"Return to the old business?" Zhou Lingshi didn't understand, "Isn't our master a hunter? He came here to hunt. It's fine if he doesn't bring the two of us with him when he goes to work. Aunt Miao has to bring it, why? Leave her here?"
"You don't understand." Wei Xingshan smiled, "Our master was a teacher in a mountain village before. When I first met him, he was teaching in rural areas of Guangxi."
"Oh, that means he left Lord Ma alone and went back to school to teach?" Zhou Lingshi asked.
"That's probably the case." Wei Xingshan nodded.
"Okay, I'm a Sichuanese cook and I've hired a teacher from a mountain village as my master. One of the two mistresses is the leader of an international organization, and the other is a Nordic princess. Our business is quite messy." Zhou Lingshi dusted the radish on the table. soil, sighed.
"Heroes, don't ask where you came from. I was a mercenary before." Wei Xingshan shrugged his shoulders.
"No, master, why does the old man go to teach?" Zhou Lingshi raised his head and asked, "He quit the Shennongjia business?"
"Isn't he doing something?" Wei Xingshan said.
"Why didn't I see it?"
"Nonsense, do we hunters need to collect information before hunting?"
"Of course that's true."
"Then how to collect information?" Wei Xingshan asked again.
"Ask someone." Zhou Lingshi replied.
"But Shennongjia has 20,000 households, dozens of towns, and hundreds of villages, scattered in a mountain area of more than 3,000 square kilometers. If you ask people from door to door, where will you be?" Wei Xingshan asked rhetorically. road.
"then what should we do?"
"So, I have to go to an information center." Wei Xingshan asked, "Stand there and ask slowly."
"Where is the information concentrated?"
"Oh, I don't think you're really suitable for being a hunter, so you can be a cook with peace of mind in the future." Wei Xingshan rolled his eyes, "Isn't there only a school in this mountainous area where people are relatively dense?"
"It seems to be the case."
"The children in the school come from the ten miles and eight villages of Shennongjia. They go to school in the classroom during the day and go home separately at night. Is it equivalent to information points scattered throughout Shennongjia?"
"Yes!"
"So if you want to inquire about news, is the school the best?"
"I understand." Zhou Lingshi nodded, "So our master went to teach at school."
"It can't be an elementary school, otherwise the child is too young to ask questions, so he is going to a middle school this time." Wei Xingshan added, "Of course he didn't really go to teach, just take a few days of class and find out the news I'm back."
"Then when he comes back, will he bring back a few catties of meat?"
"Then who knows where to go."
