There was no time in the mountains. Four to five days passed quickly. They ate in the wind and slept in the open, and they lived under the stars and the moon.
On this day, the group led their horses through the forest, passing through the dense forest of the Black Wind Mouth behind them, and climbed up a hill.
From the top of the slope, the mountains on both sides were gentle. The entire valley was north-south. There were mountains on both sides of the east and west, belonging to the remnants of the Great Xing 'an Mountains. The middle part of the valley received very little sunlight all year round, making it seem gloomy. There were no living things moving around, and the valley was filled with withered leaves and weeds, layer by layer.
They were already close to the border of China and Mongolia. Two hundred miles ahead was the vast Outer Mongolia Prairie.
It was already dusk, and the blood-red sun hung in the sky. Looking into the distance, one could see that the red sun was about to set. The sky was filled with large patches of burning clouds, and the entire sky seemed to be dyed with thick oil paint. The forest was covered, and the mountains stretched out. In his field of vision was a blurry and boundless prairie. It was really like the mountains were like the sea, and the setting sun was like blood.
This should be the legendary Savage Valley. The forbidden land was shockingly beautiful at this moment.
"Ahhh!"
Jun Zi saw this great scene and his mood surged. He could not help but shout into the distance.
"Junzi, what are you shouting for? Be careful not to attract the female bear!”Li Xun smiled and patted his head.
Junzi was unhappy." What stinky black bear? What stinky female bear? Junzi, I'll teach it a lesson if it comes!"”
"Come on, Brother Junzi! Two days ago, someone was peeing in the forest and ran away without even wearing his pants when he saw a wild boar! In the end, it was Brother Ye who killed it for dinner, and you still drooled so much. How shameless!”Qiao 'er couldn't help but interject after tying up the horse.
" Yo-" Jun Zi flung his hair back and chuckled." You little girl, when Jun Zi was in the village, you were only squatting so high and even peed on my hands. Look at you now." You're even teaching your brother a lesson!"
"Go to hell, I'm not talking to you!”Qiao 'er's face turned slightly red, and she snorted as she turned her head away. " Hahaha…" Everyone laughed loudly, causing the valley to echo.
Along the way, everyone looked at Qiao 'er. Although she didn't like to talk much and had a bad temper, she was still a little girl and was really cute.
Ye Yuan looked at the beautiful scenery of the setting sun and was also very happy. He thought that this trip was indeed worth it. Even the beautiful scenery in front of him was rare for ordinary people to see in their lifetime. It was a pity that he did not bring a camera and felt a little regretful.
The north wind blew over the forest. Everyone rested for a moment and watched as the sky gradually darkened. The sun gradually sank into the western horizon, and the great forest was about to be swallowed by the shadows.
"The sky is getting dark." Qiao 'er reminded.
"Let's go, let's go down and take a look at the legendary Savage Valley. What does it look like?" Ye Yuan called out to everyone.
"Junzi, pack your things. It's getting dark. Go down and pick up some firewood. Let's roast some deer meat!”Everyone led their horses down the ditch, with the three mastiffs and hounds leading the way.
Ye Yuanlong walked forward like a tiger. These few days of living outside had given him an extraordinary keen sense. His control of his own strength was also perfect. Within a radius of more than ten meters, nothing could escape his eyes.
"Everyone, be careful of your feet!"
Everyone carefully probed forward. There were dead branches and rotten leaves everywhere in the Savage Ravine. Every step forward, they had to stab their wooden sticks into the ground in front of them to see if there were any big smoke bubbles. If they fell, no one could save them.
Fortunately.
The journey was uneventful, and they did not encounter the big smoky swamp formed by the rotten leaves soaked in the rain.
There weren't any animals in the surroundings. There were some short forests scattered all around, and occasionally, one could hear the chirping of birds. He heard from the old man that there was often a white wind blowing in Savage Valley in winter. The forest was filled with miasma, and the birds and beasts were unwilling to stay there for long.…,
After entering the ditch, they could not see the sky outside clearly. The surroundings became dark and they could only look at the messy forest around them. They could not find the edge and had no sense of direction. Even an experienced old hunter could get lost if they were not careful, let alone outsiders and grave robbers.
Li Xun's group was also fortunate to have Qiao 'er as their guide, otherwise they wouldn't have known how to enter.
After walking for about ten minutes, the big guy finally found a slightly empty and flat land on a slope near the bottom of the valley.
Qiao 'er tied the pony to a tree nearby, fed it some grass, and placed the dog on guard.
Li Xun and Ye Yuan were also busy setting up their tents under a big tree on the hillside. Jun Zi found some dry firewood and branches around and made a pile of firewood, preparing to light a bonfire to barbecue and eat.
Tonight's game was the two wild deer that Ye Yuan had caught in the afternoon. Their necks had been broken and they were packed in a luggage bag. Qiao 'er said that ever since she had Ye Yuan, her dog had no use. Better than a dog? Ye Yuan was speechless for a while. Wasn't she using all sorts of methods to scold him?
Originally, he was still laughing at Jun Zi, but now, the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth were twitching endlessly because of this little girl's black-bellied thoughts.
After a few rounds of packing…
After working for half an hour, the sky was completely dark, and the curved moon quietly flew over the hill.
The fire was burning bright red. The four of them gathered together and roasted the two skinned deer with wooden sticks. They were skewered and turned over the fire. Soon, they were roasted until golden oil dripped down, and the fragrance spread.
Jun Zi was already drooling from waiting and could not help but call out,""Qiao 'er, this meat is almost ready, can we eat it?”
"It's almost done, Brother Jun." Qiao 'er's voice was crisp and clear as she reached out to Jun Zi." Bring a knife and bowl over."”
Jun Zi had already prepared it, so he turned around and took it.
Qiao 'er turned the wooden stick a few times and skillfully sprinkled the seasoning.
Sizzle…
The moment the meat came into contact with the seasoning. Suddenly, a soft sound was heard. It was like frying dumplings in a pot of oil at home, attracting people's attention.
Qiao 'er used a small knife to cut them off piece by piece, then placed them in a bowl and handed it over to Junzi.
"Don't burn yourself. Slow down." Seeing how anxious he was, Li Xun could not help but remind him.
Jun Zi took it and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He picked up the meat slice with a knife and fork and dipped it in a little homemade mushroom seasoning. Only then did he chew slowly and enjoy the delicious food with an intoxicated expression on his face.
Ye Yuan and Li Xun's appetites were also aroused when they smelled the fragrance. They went forward and cut off a few pieces of meat each, placed them into a bowl, and enjoyed them carefully. The fragrance of the meat mixed with the fragrance of the natural grass mushroom seasoning was just right. The meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fragrance was pressing and exceptionally refreshing.,…,
The journey during the day was extremely tiring, but this was the most comfortable moment.
"Smells so good!" Jun Zishen gave him a thumbs-up." Old Li, you should have some wine at this time, don't you think?!"”
"Your grandpa!" Li Xun reached out and knocked on him. She said," That wine is for treating wounds. I only brought this much. It's used to save lives. How can I let you waste it?!"”
"Alright, alright…I'll eat my meat.”Jun Zi pursed his lips.
Everyone ate for a while.
Jun Zi's mouth was full of meat when he suddenly remembered something. He asked vaguely,""You guys say…we've also gone through a lot of hardships to reach Savage Valley, but this place is so big, where are we going to find this…Japanese fortress?”
Qiao 'er replied," I don't know anyway. It was you who wanted to come." The old village chief and Uncle Yanzi instructed me to bring you in and out safely. I'll do as they say. I don't care about anything else.”
"Then…why is this place called Savage Valley? Could it be that there are really savages?”Jun Zi asked casually.
"This used to be called Tuoyue Valley. Legend has it that it was the graveyard of the nobles of the Great Jin Kingdom. Later on, the Mongolian army defeated the Jin soldiers at Heifeng. The corpses of their soldiers were thrown into this ditch. It was called…Savage ditch. Later on, it seemed that some savages had appeared at some point in time. As word spread, the name of Tuoyue ditch was replaced by Savage ditch!”Qiao 'er swallowed a piece of meat and said slowly.
