I rely on talismans to seek longevity

Two months passed in a blink of an eye. The weather was getting colder. Every year before winter, Luojia Village would organize a team to go into the mountains to hunt. They needed to store a lot of food to survive the winter. Otherwise, when winter came, there would be a shortage of food, and the harvest from hunting in the mountains would be very small, and it would become more and more dangerous.

Early in the morning, the village chief gathered the strong villagers to prepare to go into the mountains for hunting. Luo Ling was young, so he would definitely go. There were 20 people going into the mountains this time, young and old, the youngest was younger than Luo Ling, and the oldest was about 50 years old. After everyone prepared their equipment, they set off. The 20 people were divided into two groups, 10 people in each group. Luo Ling was in Uncle Dashan's group. Uncle Dashan was a middle-aged man with a beard on his face. He looked rough, but he was a very kind person. After Luo Ling's parents left, he often took care of Luo Ling until Luo Ling could be self-reliant.

There are about a hundred people in Luojia Village, but everyone has a good relationship with each other. This is mainly due to the pressure of life. In addition, everyone has a similar living standard, so there are not many gaps and conflicts between the rich and the poor.

Luo Ling: "Uncle Dashan, which route are we taking today?"

Luo Xiaofeng: "Yes, Uncle Dashan, how should we arrange this time?"

Uncle Dashan: "You two are too impatient, just follow my instructions."

The two guys of similar age immediately shut up. Dashan looked at everyone and said, "We are going to the south today. Everyone check the equipment, fire, packages, etc. to see if there is anything missing."

After a while, I only heard everyone respond: "No", "All", "I brought them all".

Uncle Dashan checked again and confirmed that no one had forgotten anything, then he led everyone to set off. Walking from the south of the village, in less than half an hour, everyone walked into the mountain. This is the outskirts of Luoshen Mountain, and generally there are small things. Usually everyone hunts here. This time it is for winter storage, so we need to go a little further. After walking for almost a day, we saw a house in the valley ahead from a distance, which was built entirely of wood. At this time, Luo Niu next to Uncle Dashan shouted: "Look, our camping site is in front, let's go quickly." Uncle Dashan: "Yes, I haven't been here for a year, and I don't know if the house has been destroyed by wild animals."

A quarter of an hour later, we walked to the wooden house. Its exterior showed a deep wooden tone, with a kind of amber smell of years. Uncle Dashan opened the wooden house, and we walked into the wooden house, and a long-forgotten smell came to us. The furnishings in the house were simple, and the wooden furniture was covered with dust. The house was quite big, and it was quite spacious for 10 people to live in.

At this time, Uncle Dashan said, "Everyone, clean up quickly and check if there are any snakes or insects. Then two of you go and prepare dinner."

Luo Ling and Luo Xiaofeng immediately cleaned up the dust and also cleaned up the bed they slept on at night. Although it was a bed, it was actually very simple, just a bunch of wood together. "You two boys, be careful, don't sleep at night, it will be troublesome if something runs into the nest." Luo Niu said to Luo Ling and Luo Xiaofeng, and smiled at them.

Luo Ling: "Brother Niu, just stop it, this is not my first time here. I was here last year."

Luo Xiaofeng: "Brother Ling, Brother Niu is like this. Haha"

With everyone's cheerful voices, the house was soon cleaned up, and the person who cooked dinner also prepared dinner. Everyone ate while chatting about various strange things. Only a few older uncles were a little worried. They were probably worried about whether they could catch enough prey, and also worried about whether someone would get hurt.

After everyone finished dinner and arranged for good people to keep watch, they prepared to rest, after all, hunting would begin tomorrow.

Luo Ling and Luo Xiaofeng were relatively young, so they were assigned to the first half of the night. They were supposed to be on night watch, but they didn't need to pay any special attention. The main thing was to have a house and close the door. Luo Xiaofeng and Luo Ling were by the fire, watching the fire and making sure it didn't go out, while keeping watch to prevent any unexpected accidents.

The two young men were chatting by the fire. Luo Xiaofeng: "Brother Ling, I heard that you used all the money for marrying a wife in order to save Uncle Fu." Luo Ling smiled but did not answer, which meant that it was indeed the case.

Luo Xiaofeng: "Uncle Fu is a very good person. Now there are more people in our village who can read and write, so it will be much easier to find a job in town in the future. Brother Ling, do you have a crush on someone? When are you planning to get married? My mother said she will find one for me after the Chinese New Year."

Luo Ling looked at Luo Xiaofeng, not knowing what to say. It seemed that she really had nothing to say in this regard. Villagers usually asked matchmakers to go to other villages to see if there was anyone they liked when they were about to reach the age of marriage. Then, once both parties agreed and agreed on the betrothal gift, that was all that was needed.

Luo Xiaofeng looked at Luo Ling and didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions. Just like that, before they knew it, it was midnight. The other two took over the night duty and they went to sleep. The night in the mountains was particularly cold, and everyone huddled together. It would be even more uncomfortable if there was no fire. Luo Ling's thoughts were in a mess, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He fell asleep while thinking.
