Chapter 1 The Little Village
Chapter 1 The Little Village
Oh, oh, oh...... In a small mountain village with less than 100 households, there was a burst of rooster crowing in the morning.
It didn't take long for wisps of cooking smoke to begin to float out of the chimneys of every house, and a new day began, and the morning sun slowly shone on the grassy land.
The whole village is revealed in the sunshine, and you can see that rice is planted in front of every house, and a variety of vegetables are planted not far from the rice, and the idyllic scenery can be seen everywhere. Looking further afield, you will see patches of blue, endless mountains.
There are dozens of such villages in this rolling mountain range, large and small. However, each village is far apart, and able-bodied young people have to trek through mountains and rivers for three to five days to reach the nearest neighboring village. The largest village has thousands of households, while Han Village is one of the smallest villages in this mountain range.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the mountains surrounding the village form a huge yin and yang pattern, but none of the people in the village have found it, and even the passers-by who have come to the village have never discovered this secret.
The village is like spring all year round, and there has never been a major wind or rain, let alone a natural disaster. Occasionally, an abnormal wind or natural disaster will set off in the mountains, but when approaching the village, it will strangely bypass the yin-yang pattern, and the pattern will emit a supernatural force to resist the disaster from the yin-yang pattern.
I don't know when the village was preserved. Generations of villagers who have lived here have never noticed this anomaly and think it is a normal thing.
Because there are no high-ranking people to check this situation, the villagers living in the village think that this is a natural normal, and no one thinks it is abnormal. Because there are no disasters to cause disasters, the villagers in this village live peacefully, and the laughter of people can often be heard.
The endless mountains have not suffered any damage, and the mountains are overgrown with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and all kinds of brute beasts grow, and all the people here make a living by going up the mountains to collect medicine and hunt.
Every six months, when the villages are at their busiest day, the merchants of the towns will organize a group of merchants to go to the villages of the mountains to buy medicinal herbs and animal skins, and at the same time, they will also bring their own goods to the mountains to exchange or sell goods. At this time, in addition to selling and buying the collected medicinal materials and animal skins, each household also sells its own agricultural products to the people who come to the village to procure, and at the same time exchanges various daily necessities for their own needs from the procurers.
"Lady, I went up the mountain to collect medicine." A deep male voice came from a two-entry room.
I don't know if this hut is intentional or unintentional, it is just built on the black dots of the yin and yang pattern, and the aura that ordinary people can't see is constantly pouring into the hut, this strange phenomenon, even if ordinary people live here, they will be strong and strong for a long time, and live a long life.
"Well, be careful when you go up the mountain, don't fight hard when you encounter powerful brute beasts, come back early." A delicate voice echoed from the hut.
Then, there was a sound of footsteps from the hut, and a simple and sturdy young man slowly walked out of the hut, only to see the young man's eyes blazing, his steps were powerful, his waist was straight, although his appearance was not handsome, but his facial features were delicate, the water chestnut was distinct, and he was full of heroism, he carried a basket on his back, a long knife hung on his waist, and a delicate little hoe in his hand, and walked out of the door towards the mountain.
The people of the villages in the mountains repeat this life every day. Occasionally, several of the better families would join together to go up the mountain to hunt, and even the whole village would unite with other villages to go deeper into the mountains to hunt more valuable beasts, and dig up medicinal herbs with higher age and greater medicinal effect.
Of course, there will not be many village unions, and if you go farther into the mountains, the greater the danger, and it is easy to suffer casualties, after all, the medical level of each village in the mountains is very backward, and there are no alchemists. Except for the medicines obtained from the commercial group, the others are all homemade healing drugs, and most of the medicines exchanged from the commercial group are low-grade medicines.
Therefore, people in each village spend most of their time alone or in groups of two or three people going up to the mountains to collect medicine or hunt.
Han Xiaoyang is one of the best in the village, whether it is collecting medicine or hunting, the whole village has always been his most rewarding, and others have not been able to surpass him even if they are lucky.
Han Xiaoyang seems to have a special ability to judge the growth environment of medicinal materials, looking at the growth of various plants on the land in the surrounding area, he can judge whether there are medicinal materials growing there, and if so, judge how many years of medicinal materials there are. Moreover, there is also an amazing physical reflex to danger. With these special advantages, Han Xiaoyang is the largest supplier of goods every time a caravan comes to the village to purchase.
Han Xiaoyang's special abilities were not innate, they were accidentally acquired by accident when he went up the mountain to hunt three years ago.
On that day, he carried a longbow and a nine-foot spear in the woods chasing a yellow-horned blood deer, the tips of the horns were golden yellow, the four legs were pure white, and the whole body showed bright red plum blossoms, which was one of the most valuable animals in this mountain range. Deer blood and antlers can be used in medicine, and they are one of the great medicines for strengthening the body and refining the body. Deerskin can be used to make boots and bracers, and venison is a good ingredient for nourishing the body.
It can be said that the yellow-horned blood deer is full of treasures, and every hunter will use all methods to hunt it when it encounters it. However, the Yellow-Horned Blood Deer is very fast and extremely flexible, so it is not so easy for even a first-class hunter to hunt the Yellow-Horned Blood Deer. Moreover, the golden blood deer basically lives in the deep mountains, and it is rarely found on the periphery of the rolling mountains. Occasionally, there will be a head who doesn't know if it's because he got lost and ran to the periphery of the mountains.
"Wow, baby! What a rare baby! Don't run! Stop me! ”
Han Xiaoyang chased the yellow-horned blood deer closely, he picked up the longbow as he ran, pulled out a wolf's tooth arrow in the quiver, and slowly bowed the full moon, "beep", and the arrow flew towards the yellow-horned blood deer like a meteor. The yellow-horned blood deer also seemed to sense the mortal danger, and instantly accelerated.
The fatal crisis was over, but the hind leg was still pierced by the arrow, and the bright red deer blood flowed to the arrow, dripping to the earth. It may be felt that the deadly danger still exists, and the running speed of the yellow-horned blood deer is exerted to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, the run was gone.
Han Xiaoyang followed the bloodstains and quickly pursued. When he chased to the foot of a mountain, the blood was gone. He looked at his surroundings, the mountain was not very high, one side of the mountain was very steep, smooth like a mirror, and the foot of the mountain was covered with wild grasses and mountain flowers and plants as tall as a man.
Han Xiaoyang carefully examined the bloodstains, and found that the bloodstains disappeared in front of a pile of grass at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help muttering: "I don't seem to have been to this mountain, and the surrounding plants have not been trampled by people or animals, maybe there will be a good wave of medicinal herbs."
"Little deer, little deer, if there are medicinal herbs, you must not eat them, it is money. Of course, you're also money, don't go too far! ”
He carefully brushed the grass along the bloodstains, and saw a cave as tall as a man behind the grass. The entrance of the cave is tightly blocked by dense grass and plants, and if you pass through here, you will not find such a cave here if you don't open the grass forest.
Looking through the entrance of the cave, the cave was dark. "There's no big guy in there, right?"
"Probably not, the grass is at the mouth of the cave, and there is no sign of movement at all. Well, there shouldn't be. ”
"There is no discovery here, maybe there are really high-quality medicinal herbs, you have to go in and have a look." Han Xiaoyang's eyes flashed, and he kept emboldening himself.
"It's so dark here, though, you'll have to get a torch. Right! Get a torch and do it! ”
After a while, a large torch was made, and the bright light of the fire drove away the fear in his heart, and he walked towards the cave step by step.
The stone walls of the cave are abrupt, and the cave passage is dry and refreshing, and there is nothing abnormal. Well, it's a natural cave. Upon entering the cave, a conspicuous line of blood trails leads down the passage to the depths of the cave.
