Li Anran followed the team deeper into the mountains and only arrived at the hunter's cabin when it was almost noon.
Although it was called a small house, it wasn't small at all. It was no problem for all the people who entered the mountain to stay there. Moreover, they were all built with local materials and logs. The safety factor was also very high. Even if they met a blind bear, they did not have to worry about being broken in.
"Yingzi, this place is not bad." After Li Anran got off the horse, he carried Yingzi down.
"Of course." Yingzi smiled smugly." This is what we have accumulated from nothing for three generations of hunters. In the beginning, this place wasn't so good and wasn't so big. It was just an ordinary small house.”
While the two of them were talking, everyone got busy. Some started a fire, some boiled water, and when the fire was lit, everyone took out the dry food they had brought and prepared to eat.
No one paid attention to it when they were out, but they basically took out a large amount of dough cakes. They were thick, hard, and very solid.
Hunting was hard work, so the family would bring the best rations for the men of each family.
Not only did the steamed buns taste bad, but they also didn't make people hungry. They were far less practical than this kind of white flatbread.
Li Anran had also prepared a bag of things before she left. After everyone was seated, she took out two bottles of Erguotou from her bag.
"Second Uncle, is it okay to drink some?”
"What's the problem? Drinking some wine can warm your body.”Ge Erpao was amused," But this is good wine, isn't it painful to split it like this?”
"What's there to be sad about? Isn't this wine for people to drink?" Li Anran generously threw a bottle to the other party. She opened the bottle in her hand and took two gulps. Then, she stuffed the bottle into the hunter's hand beside her.
Such a forthright behavior naturally won everyone's smiles and closeness. However, there was indeed not much wine. Fortunately, there were not many people here this time. Otherwise, these two bottles of wine would not be enough for everyone to drink.
After distributing the wine, Li Anran took out a small ceramic jar from the bag he brought.
"Brother Anran, did you bring another bar?”Yingzi was speechless.
She didn't mind everyone drinking, but the problem was that she was still young and couldn't drink even if she wanted to.
"Don't worry, this isn't wine." Li Anran smiled and then opened the seal of the earthen jar.
Good heavens, the moment the seal was opened, an extremely rich sauce fragrance, meat fragrance, and spicy fragrance spread out.
"What is this?" Yingzi quickly drew closer and took a few deep breaths. Immediately, she felt her mouth salivate and she was craving for it!
She was not the only one who was hungry. Everyone in the room was hungry too.
"This is the spicy mixed meat sauce I brought.”As Li Anran spoke, she took out a spoon and scooped out a spoonful from the jar. She placed it directly into the bowl in front of Yingzi." Try it. It tastes good."”
This so-called spicy mixed meat sauce was actually a new product that he had tried to process in the game world. The main ingredients were all kinds of meat, including wild boar, crocodile, antelope, and other wild beasts. There were also rockback monsters, rocknose beasts, and other wild monsters.
Anyway, the meat was edible, and the quality of the meat was quite good. In order to prevent others from eating it, Li Anran simply chopped it all together. Then, he stir-fried and boiled it with big oil, big sauce, chili, black beans, and other seasonings to make a big pot of this mixed meat sauce.
As the meat and oil were used a lot, coupled with a lot of ingredients, it would be a wonder if it was not fragrant!
Yingzi didn't stand on ceremony. She broke off some flatbread and dipped it into the meat sauce. Her beautiful eyes instantly widened.
"How is it?" Li Anran smiled.
"It's a little spicy, but it's very fragrant and delicious!”Yingzi's eyes instantly curved into crescents, looking extremely adorable.
Ge Erpao and the other hunters in the village smiled knowingly when they saw this scene.
Especially those who were more gossipy. They really felt that although Yingzi was a little young, she was indeed a good match for Li Anran.
As for the age gap, even in big cities, it was already early to get married, let alone in a remote village like Ganggangying, where many old customs still remained. It was not rare for a 15-year-old girl to get married.
He had no choice, he was poor!
It wasn't easy to raise her until she was fifteen or sixteen years old, so she should hurry up and get married.
This way, he could reduce the burden of his family's life and even get a betrothal gift. How good would that be?
However, Li Anran had never thought of it that way. He did not reject marriage. As long as there was a suitable candidate, he would get married immediately.
But Yingzi was really too young. Even if he could tell that she would definitely be a beauty when she grew up, he couldn't bring himself to do it!
Li Anran wasn't stingy. After digging a big spoonful of meat sauce for himself and Ge Erpao, he shared the jar with them.
Everyone baked the flatbread by the fire, broke off a piece, dipped it in meat sauce, and put it into their mouths. It was beautiful!
Li Anran was forthright and generous. The men in the village were not stingy either. They took out the things they had brought.
In fact, it was definitely not enough to just eat flatbread in the mountains. Every household had brought salted vegetables. Some of the better families even brought cooked bacon, sausages, and so on. When everyone gathered together, their appetite for lunch was greatly increased.
After lunch, everyone rested for a while and distributed their work.
Li Anran naturally followed Ge Erpao and Yingzi, but he didn't have a hunting rifle. He originally planned to scout the area first. Unexpectedly, Ge Erpao went to the next room and came back with a set of bows and arrows.
Li Anran only took a glance and knew that this set of bows and arrows was not made in a crude manner. It was obvious that it had some history.
Most importantly, although this thing did not look new, it could definitely be used normally. Someone must have taken care of it frequently.
"Ever since the shotgun was invented, few people use it anymore.”Ge Erpao's tone was a little complicated. Clearly, there was a story behind this set of bows and arrows." Anran, didn't you say that you were good at using bows and arrows? Try it out while you can't. If it's suitable, I'll give it to you."”
Li Anran did not stand on ceremony and directly took the bow and arrow to test it.
"The bow is not bad, just a little light."
" Uh..." Ge Erpao was stunned. Was this hunting bow light?
However, after thinking about it, he realized that with Li Anran's exaggerated strength, this bow was indeed too light.
"Second Uncle, I want to find some suitable wood in the mountains this time and make my own hunting bow. Is that okay?”Li Anran put down the bow in his hand and asked.
"Of course. If you need anything, you can tell us. We'll help you find it.”Ge Erpao nodded.
"Let's see if there are any suitable materials first.”Li Anran smiled." It's not easy to make a good bow. It takes time. The quality of this bow is not bad. Let's use it first.”
"That's right." Ge Erpao nodded. He was an old hunter. Even though he used a hunting rifle, he was still very familiar with traditional hunting." Later, you can bring Yingzi and walk around with me."”
"Deal!" Li Anran was not in a hurry. Even if the Guandong Army and the general's tomb were still there, they would not run away.
After resting, the group began to move separately.
This time, apart from people, he also brought a lot of hounds.
The local hunting dogs were also called mountain dogs. They were thin and long, so they were also called fine dogs.
This kind of hound had long legs and could maintain a certain speed even in places with deep snow.
Their powerful bite force made them very aggressive, but they were also very smart. Even if they encountered wild boars, a few hounds could successfully hunt them down with their cooperation.
However, Li Anran did not envy these hounds. There was already Frost Wolf in the game world. As long as he released it at the right time, it was definitely not something these hounds could compare to.
Hunting in winter was much more difficult than in autumn. The heavy snow two days ago had directly covered Old Lin in a thick layer of snow.
At first, Li Anran thought that this snow scene was really beautiful, but after looking at it for a long time, it was just that.
Not to mention Yingzi and the others who had seen her grow up. The so-called silver makeup and extraordinary charm were nothing more than ordinary in their eyes.
If they had the right to choose, Yingzi and the rest would definitely not want to see heavy snow again.
However, the sky did not go as one wished. Not long after everyone separated, the snow in the sky became heavier and heavier.
At the same time, the Ivory Tun's stick terriers also sneaked out of the village. They brought some tools and rations with them and followed the team that was driving the Winter Wilderness into the mountains.
However, the snow was getting heavier and heavier on the way, and the wind was getting colder and colder. The traces of the desolation team on the ground also disappeared very quickly. They could only walk by feeling.
This was the first time he had come here. Although he was also tempted by the matter of the golden vein, he still felt that it was important to be careful.
However, they were already here. If they wanted to go back at this time, they had to get the approval of the two old educated youths.
However, what the four of them did not know was that because of the heavy wind and snow, they had lost their direction. Unknowingly, they had actually headed for the Savage Valley with its strange legends!
