Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 7 Yao Village Girl
When Fang Wei woke up in the morning and saw no notifications, he knew there had been no harvest on the mountain. Since there was no shortage of firewood at home, he went to fetch water and watered his plot first.

The team didn't assign him any work today, so after returning home, he took two vegetable dumplings and a bamboo tube of water, and went up the mountain with his hunting rifle on his back.

He didn't bring the gun for hunting. He planned to go for a walk deep in the mountains. He brought the hunting rifle and hatchet just for self-defense.

As soon as he stepped onto the mountain path, he met Zheng Hu and his group.

Five young men, holding axes and ropes, but no hunting rifles, seemed to be going out to collect firewood or to get wild game.

"Third Brother Fang, are you going up the mountain to hunt?"

Several of them were about the same age as Fang Wei, but after Fang Wei won against three opponents that day, his prestige among his peers increased significantly.

What's more, he was the only junior high school student among these people, and he was in a crushing position in both civil and military affairs, so except for Zheng Hu, the others all greeted Fang Wei with a smile.

In fact, they were not Zheng Hu's close friends. For example, that day, after Zheng Hu was kicked down by Fang Weiyi, the other two guys didn't dare to move.

Of course, one of the reasons is that he is afraid of Fang Wei, but it also shows that Zheng Hu simply does not have the charm to make others work for him.

"Yes, I'm going to the mountains to shoot some sparrows. I'm going now. I'll come back inside and sit down. We can talk later."

Don't hit a smiling person. He is not as stubborn as his original self, so he naturally knows the importance of uniting the majority.

So, Fang Wei greeted the few people with a smile, then quickened his pace and went up the mountain first.

Zheng Hu curled his lips, feeling very dissatisfied.

However, when he saw that the other party was carrying a hunting rifle, he did not dare to make trouble and followed behind with a few friends.

Of course he didn't believe Fang Wei's words. In fact, everyone knew that those words were lies.

Seeing Fang Wei walking faster and faster, and the distance between them widening, Zheng Hu rolled his eyes and said:

"We must get some game today, and let's follow Fang Lao San to the mountains to have a look."

"Huzi, it's very dangerous in the mountains. If my father knew about this, he would definitely break my legs."

"Yes, when I came out, my mother told me not to carve in the mountains."

The little friends were a little timid and didn't want to follow Zheng Hu into the mountains.

"Don't be so useless, okay? Fang Lao San dared to go hunting in the mountains alone, so why are we afraid of him with so many people? I'll go first, you follow me, and those who don't dare to go can go down the mountain now."

Zheng Hu became furious, spat on the ground, and strode forward.

The friends were too embarrassed to back out. It would be too embarrassing to go down the mountain now. They would definitely be laughed at. With no other choice, they hurried to follow.

Fang Wei walked faster and faster, and Zheng Hu and others soon lost sight of his back.

He still looked a little frail, but his physical condition was quite good. It was just that his daily meals were not good, otherwise he would be able to walk on this mountain road just as easily as on a flat road.

Fang Wei first went to the place where the trap was set and took a look. There were some new traces around, but they all avoided the trap perfectly.
So, he removed all the traps, recovered everything that could be recovered and cancelled the “temporarily designated” forests.

This area is not suitable for hunting at the moment, we will have to choose another place.

Afterwards, Fang Wei walked towards the depths of the mountains.

"It should be in this direction, there's no mistake."

Fang Wei didn't come out for hunting today. Last year, he went to the mountains with others and discovered a valley surrounded by mountains.

The scenery there is very beautiful. There is a large pool of water in the valley, and a trickle of stream flows out of a cave day and night.

He didn't care much about it at the time, but now he thinks that the source of the pool is probably an underground river.

However, the deep mountains are sparsely populated, and the path I walked last year has long been covered by half-human-high weeds.

Fortunately, he could still find the direction even in the mountains. According to his memory, after taking several detours, he finally found the right road.

Walking in the mountains is a strenuous task. Not only do you have to use a hatchet and a stick to clear a path from time to time, but you also have to be careful to guard against poisonous insects and snakes.

It is not easy to encounter large wild animals, and if you do encounter one, it is most likely a wild boar.

As for the small number of South China tigers and leopards, and their habit of appearing early in the morning and at dusk, there's no need to worry too much. Fang Wei was navigating the densely forested grass and shrubs, often having to take detours. It would be easy to return, but now it was very troublesome to open a path.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped.

The tree in front looked ordinary, but he saw a green snake wrapped around the branch closest to the ground.

"Bamboo leaves green!"

Fang Wei knew this kind of snake, it was called "Bamboo Leaf Green Snake" and was a kind of poisonous snake.

He habitually prepared to catch the snake with his bare hands. There were only a few people in the team who could catch snakes, and it required courage, carefulness, quick eyes and hands.

However, he immediately restrained this impulse, slowly approached, and then used the long wooden stick in his hand to pick up the bamboo leaf green snake and fly it away.

This kind of snake has less than two taels of flesh on its body, is no more than half a meter long, and is so slender that he was too lazy to catch it.

If this was a vegetable snake, he would definitely catch it and stew it at home.

The rest of the journey was smooth. Fang Wei crossed two ridges and arrived at the small valley in his memory.

The valley looked very narrow, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Its altitude was much higher than Murakami's. According to his estimation, it was about halfway up the mountain.

The pool is under the cliff in the southeast direction. From a distance, the water surface emits golden light under the sunlight.

Fang Wei became excited and ran out of the woods.

"Hey! Don't come over here yet, someone is taking a shower."

Suddenly, a voice came, scaring Fang Weiyi.

The voice was obviously a female one. He stopped in a hurry and saw a figure standing by the pond in the distance.

Fang Wei didn't have the idea of "feasting his eyes". It was not like he had never seen women before, so he didn't have any bad thoughts.

So he leaned against a tree and thought about his own things.

There is a water source in the valley, but generally no one comes here. I originally wanted to plant some sweet potatoes here, but now it seems I need to reconsider.

"Who are you?"

After a while, Fang Wei heard some noise and looked over, only to see a woman walking towards him from the other side of the pond.

He quickly stood up and walked towards the man. The man was wearing gorgeous clothes and the crown on his head was also very gorgeous. He immediately confirmed the man's identity.

There is no doubt that she is a girl from the Yao village in the mountains.

When I got closer and took a look, I found that this girl from the Yao village was very beautiful and about the same age as me.

The other person had a knife on his waist and a hunting rifle on his back.

"My name is Fang Wei. I'm from the Xiatang Brigade. I'm going into the mountains to look for something."

"Haha, you're not being honest. You said you were hunting, but you insisted on saying you were looking for something. My name is Pan Lianhua, from the Jiufengshan Brigade. We're from the same commune as you."

The girl from the Yao village was outspoken and looked at Fang Wei with a bit of contempt.

People in the village hate liars the most. The young man in front of them looks handsome, but his character is not good.

"I'm not lying to you. I'm telling the truth. The team is short of water and the food production has decreased, so I thought of this place. I want to plant some sweet potatoes near the pond to avoid going hungry in the future.

If farming is not allowed here, forget it."

Fang Wei shrugged helplessly and told the truth.

If he could meet this Yao village girl here once, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't meet her a second time.

Unless he gives up the idea of growing sweet potatoes, his secret will be known to others sooner or later.
