232: C232 Night Excess

C232 Night Excess

If those things came true, then this trip would be extremely dangerous.

But no matter what, Jiang Chen had to go.

… ….

The Xiang River was located on the western edge of the southern part of the city. Aside from the lush trees, there were also the lush trees.

As a result, the vegetation here had not been cut down and the areas that were not used for mining were very large. However, most of the villages had hunters or elderly people who would go up the mountain to gather herbs, food, mushrooms and the like.

Therefore, although humans rarely set foot in this place, it did not mean that there were completely no traces of humans here.

But compared to other tourism development zones, this one was much more peaceful.

"Crash!"

The bushes were pushed aside. Jiang Chen, Fu Shidong, and a hunter with mostly white hair and an old-fashioned hunting rifle on his back carefully stuck his head out.

"Those people should have left already!"

"I don't know, but I'm sure that if they were to enter the forest, they would definitely get lost as well."

Jiang Chen carefully looked around and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to three days ago.

Three days ago, Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong got off the plane and drove straight to a local town called "Qingxi Town".

Most of the people doing business here were residents of the nearby villages. Other than the original residents of the town, the people who sold things to outsiders would all randomly place some things along the street, some even had a very primitive habit of bartering with things.

Some of the wild animals brought by the hunters, or the wild fruits, mushrooms, herbs, etc., were laid out for others to choose from.

Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong walked around in a circle.

However, the two of them did not forget their purpose in coming here. They were here to find the Red Jade Dew Fruit.

Since they had already gathered some information, Fu Shidong and Jiang Chen were wandering around the town while also asking about the news of the nearby village.

If one wanted to enter the deep mountains, one must have a guide. Otherwise, no matter how strong one's sense of direction was, it was very easy to get lost deep in the mountains.

The best guides in the area were the hunters and the villagers who often went up the mountain to gather herbs and mushrooms.

Most villagers do not enter the mountains because they are also afraid of getting lost.

Hunters, on the other hand, had their own unique way of identifying directions, so even if they entered deep into the mountains, they could still ensure that they wouldn't get lost.

"How much are you selling these wild rabbits for?"

Fu Shidong chatted with a hunter on the side of the road.

The hunter glanced at him and said, "Twenty pieces. If you have something, you can exchange it with me. It would be best if it is made of salt or cloth."

In some very primitive villages, salt and cloth were indeed necessities of their daily lives, so they could also be used as currency in their lives.

As for the actual money, it was a bit of a problem for them. After all, this place was very far from the city, so they had to put in a lot of effort to get out.

As for the shops in the town that sold daily necessities, their prices were almost all several times that of the outside world. Therefore, rather than causing trouble, it was better to just exchange them.

Hearing the hunter's words, Fu Shidong glanced at the hare. Its skin was as white as snow.

However, his ambition was not on the hare, but on the hunter.

"I don't have salt or cloth, but I do have some candy. How about this!" I'll pay twenty dollars and buy the hare with a small bag of candy, but you'll have to help me roast it. Besides, my friend and I are new here, so we're not very familiar with the place.1

As Fu Shidong said this, he put 20 yuan and a bag of candies in front of the hunter.

Hunter looked at the candy. He thought that his daughter had been quarreling for the past few days and he had not left the town for a while to buy some for his daughters so he nodded.

"I can roast the rabbit for you, but you have to wait until it gets dark and come home with me before I can roast it for you. Also, if you don't mind, I have an empty house in my house, the two of you … …" The lodging will cost you five yuan a night for a meal. "

The hunter was quite good at business. When he heard that Fu Shidong was looking for a place to stay, he immediately started to promote his family's house.

However, this was not strange. Even though this place was remote, there were still some adventurers who liked to dig their way into this primitive village. Thus, this hunter must have seen other adventurers.

Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong stood beside the Hunter and chatted with him while the sky was still dark.

This hunter belongs to the local minority, and his Han name is Wang Han. He has lived in this nearby village since birth. Other than occasionally going outside to buy supplies, he rarely left the village.

There were two daughters in the family, the eldest was sixteen, and the youngest was only five years old.

As for his wife, she died from childbirth when she was giving birth to her youngest daughter. This remote mountain village's sanitation did not pass, so not long after she gave birth to her youngest daughter, she became seriously ill and died within half a month, leaving behind the three of them.

Usually, Wang Han would hunt for a living, and his parents were also hunters. Thus, this hunting ability was passed down to them, and it was a survival skill that he had always relied on.

The majority of the locals grew very little crops, plus it was close to the primeval forest, many places were nature reserves, which were bound by frames, making it very difficult for them to open wasteland, so the main source of livelihood for the locals was either to go up the mountain and collect some things to sell, or to go up the mountain to hunt like Wang Han.

When he came to Wang Han's house, his two daughters seemed very reserved. Perhaps it was due to the fact that there were not many strangers in his house. Plus, there were two men. It was not hard to understand how shy they were in a girl's house.

Wang Han told the two of them to sit down in the yard. He quickly cleaned up the rabbits and placed them on the bonfire. Then, as promised, he took out some other food in the house to greet the two of them.

Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong enjoyed their dinner. After all, the two of them rarely came to this remote mountain village, so everything was new to the two of them.

Even the simplest roasted bunny felt delicious in his mouth, not to mention there were some other foods.

After the meal, Wang Han gave a few candies to his two daughters and told them to go to the village for a while. Then he boiled a big pot of tea and told Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong to sit by the bonfire.

He obviously saw that Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong came here with a purpose, so he deliberately detected the intentions behind their words while they were talking.

"Brother, you often hunt in the mountains, so you should be familiar with the forests nearby. Have you heard of this place?"

After chatting for a while, Fu Shidong handed a black-and-white photo to Wang Han.

Wang Han took it and looked at it closely under the light from the bonfire. After looking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something: "You guys are looking for this place, this place is extremely dangerous. Even the seasoned hunters don't dare to go there!"
