59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"You didn't say that!"

Chen Li finally got a chance to play with a spear, so how could she agree so easily?

When Fatty Wang runs, she chases him!

Li Jie, the little follower, chased after him with a laugh.

As long as Chen Li could shoot, she could at least touch it, and maybe even carry a gun on her back.

"Brother, should we continue to move forward?"

Hu Bayi held up a pheasant with a big hole in it caused by a bullet and said that even if the bullet had been charged with most of the powder reduced, a single shot would still destroy most of the chicken's breast, which weighed more than a pound.

The powerful kinetic energy of the bullet creates a cavity effect, which can cause damage the size of a porcelain bowl.

How big is a pheasant?

Apart from Chen Feng and Zhang Haixing, even Fatty Wang couldn't accurately shoot the chicken's head.

All the pheasants we picked up died miserably.

There aren't many good pieces of meat left!

"Go on, forget about these chickens, take them first. There's a small mountain village up ahead, with about seven or eight households. Give them to them!"

Chen Feng walked onto the motorcycle with a smile.

Unlike the plains where a village may have more than a dozen or even hundreds of households, there is a lack of arable land and poor soil in the mountains, which cannot support too many people, so there are often only a dozen or a few households.

These mountain villages are very poor.

In later generations, poverty alleviation efforts mostly targeted mountain villages, where people were often directly relocated down the mountain and villages were transformed into towns.

In his previous life, Chen Feng went to the mountains with his classmates and encountered many abandoned mountain villages with rows of houses and no one in them, like a ghost village.

Some of the villagers' houses were donated and built by famous Hong Kong stars.

But this is a good thing!

The mountain village lacks everything, there is no water, electricity or school. Leaving the mountains and coming to the town, you can work outside to earn money and also enjoy the supporting facilities of the town.

Of course, the price is the loss of freedom and innocence in the mountains.

"Uncle, hello, we are a group from the rural area of ​​Sijiucheng. We came to the mountains to play. On the way, we shot some pheasants. It would be troublesome to bring them back, so we just gave them to you!"

Chen Feng lied effortlessly without even thinking it through.

Just knock on the doors of people on the roadside and give one to each of them.

"what?"

The mountain people who opened the door were all puzzled.

"This, this is so embarrassing."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Look, our car. This chicken is covered in blood. If we put it in, we'll have to wash the car when we get back. It's too much trouble. It's a waste to throw it away, so I'll just give it to you."

There are quite a few people in this family, including two old people, three strong men, five young boys and girls, and a little kid who is lying by the fire and warming himself.

Seeing Chen Feng holding a pheasant in his hand, several children gathered around him.

But soon, their attention was focused on the rifle on Chen Feng's back.

They also had guns, but they were just old-fashioned Hanyang rifles with no rifling, and two-barreled muskets, which could not compare with Chen Feng's new rifle.

And there is still a shortage of bullets!

The commune conducts centralized training every year, and the management of bullets is relatively strict.

70 years later, as the storm swept through, most grassroots cadres were overthrown and replaced, and the commune gun management system stipulated by the Armed Forces Department collapsed. Gun management was in chaos, and semi-automatic rifles fell into the hands of many brave militiamen.

There are even mortars and corresponding shells!

Bulge a crazy!

"Here, little comrade, this is your prey..."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "How about this, uncle? I'll give you the meat, and you give me that broken candlestick. Let's consider it an exchange!"

He had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the toy given to the little one was actually an antique from the Qing Dynasty.

It's not worth much, but if you take it home and use it as a candlestick for the old man, it will look more stylish!

"Really?"

Just take it directly, Shancun feels a little embarrassed.

But he would still be happy to exchange it.

"Really!" Chen Feng smiled and asked Zhou Dinghai to get another pheasant.

He doesn't need the meat, so there's no need to bully these kind mountain people. If it were the old people and young people from the old city, he would do the same.

Humph, our ancestors paid the bill!

There are more than one million Eight Banners, all of them are supported by the Han people!

"Big pot, I'll go to that one!"

Chen Li found it interesting, so she asked Li Jie to take two pheasants and go directly to another house, using the same words to deliver the two pheasants with half of their meat missing.

"Haha, cauldron, they gave me a knife!"

Chen Li happily shouted while holding the dagger she had exchanged for.

Of course she couldn't do business at a loss.

This knife was a small knife with an animal skin sheath, very similar to Chen Feng's small Shenfeng. The little girl took the initiative to act because she saw the knife on the waist of the person who opened the door.

Chen Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say that others had lost a lot of money!

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. How could my sister understand these things?

"Bayi, give this family a hundred rounds of ammunition!"

Giving money is of no use without tickets!

It would be better to give them a hundred bullets and then throw some wild boars, elk, pheasants and the like in the nearby mountains. This would be the best repayment for them.

As always, teaching a man to fish is the best charity!

Giving the poor a pound of food is not as good as giving them a job!

"Okay, big brother!"

One hundred rounds of bullets is a lot of money, enough to buy this well-made knife!

"thanks, thanks!"

Sure enough, when Hu Bayi threw ten boxes over, the family was filled with joy.

What they need is bullets!

A few kids must have enough bullets to shoot a pheasant!

"Uncle, do you have a knife at home?" Chen Hao also came up with an idea. His elder brother and younger sister both had knives, so he couldn't be without one!

"Um, I don't have any at home."

"Okay, I'll go to the next one."

"..."

Chen Hao was joking.

After sending all the pheasants out, we told them that there was a spot for pheasants in the back, and asked them to drive two cars in.

A few grateful families were left behind, and soon after they left, one or two people from each family wore worn wolf skins and wild boar skins and went out to hunt pheasants.

If we don't act now, we will miss this group of prey in the long run.

When they arrived at the scene, they were surprised to find that there were not only dozens of pheasants, but also several wild boars gnawing on bushes and weeds.

There were even two deer, but they were very timid and would immediately run away when they saw people.

Only wild boars that are not afraid of people and pheasants with insufficient intelligence remain in this area.

"Cauldron, I'm hungry!"

Fatty Wang did not miss the car this time and rushed to take the seat. Chen Li was so angry that she stepped on his instep, but the fat guy refused to get off. She had no choice but to get in the same car with Chen Feng.

"Well, we'll find a good spot later and catch a roe deer to eat."

Yellow sheep meat is too tough, wild boar meat is difficult to handle, and venison is too big, so it’s better to change the slogan.

"I want to eat barbecue!"

The barbecue fanatic shouted happily.

After walking a few miles, they indeed "met" a silly roe deer by a stream in a valley.

This thing is actually not stupid. It knows to run when it sees people, but it is too slow and cannot outrun bullets.

Chen Feng raised his hand and shot it dead.

"The wind is light here, so we'll just park here and have a barbecue."

"Fatty, get out of the car and smash the ice!"

The surface of the stream in the valley is frozen, but the ice is actually flowing melted snow water, which is used for daily life and agriculture by many mountain people and is of good purity.

However, Chen Feng still asked everyone to boil the water first, and others who were thirsty could drink the soda they brought with them.

"Okay, big brother!"

Fatty Wang said very enthusiastically that he had wanted to break the ice to fish for a long time!

But now the fish in the old city is so cheap, completely different from that in the northern border.

The price of fish in Xinjiang will skyrocket in winter, mainly due to the high labor cost of breaking the ice.

Now I can finally show my skills.

He opened the trunk of the car, took out a shovel, and shared it with brothers Chen Hao and Zhou Dinghai. The four teenagers happily dug by the stream.

Hu Bayi took Chen Li and Li Jie to look for dry firewood nearby, but of course they couldn't find any.

Under the snow and water, everything was wet and there was no way to ignite it.

"Use the firewood you brought, don't look for it!"

Chen Feng opened the compartment of the three-wheeled motorcycle, revealing the wood inside.

Zhang Haixing was surprised: "You even brought this?"

Chen Feng laughed and said, "You've been to Changbai Mountain, so you know there's no dry firewood in the snowy mountains, right?"

Zhang Haixing certainly wouldn't admit that after returning, she relaxed her mind and wasn't as cautious as she was in Changbai Mountain. She immediately said, "Of course I knew. I just didn't expect you to be so well prepared."

Chen Feng smiled. He had also gone up the mountain last winter and spent a lot of time looking for dry wood.

This time, of course, we have to prepare in advance.

First, he and Zhang Haixing, Hu Bayi, Chen Li, and Li Jie took out the wood and placed it beside the stream in the valley. Chen Feng chose a relatively flat stone edge.

"Big pot, do you want to make a stone platform?" Chen Li moved a big stone with force.

As expected of a girl with extraordinary strength, she actually moved the frozen stone.

Li Jie followed suit, but found that the stone didn't move at all.

The soil beside the stream was moist, and the water mixed with the soil and stones was frozen. Even adults could not move it, let alone Li Jie, although she followed Chen Li and drank many bottles of soda at Chen's house and ate some dried meat raised in the space.

"Lily, you are awesome!"

"Hehe, of course, I'm the best!" Chen Li said while holding the big rock.

Chen Feng thought about it and decided to make a stone stove.

This can improve combustion efficiency and avoid wasting heat.

"Well, bring it here!"

Zhang Haixing happily stopped working. He piled newspapers and chopped firewood at the bottom, put three pieces of firewood on top, and waited for Chen Li to surround the stones.

Chen Feng looked at her with contempt.

This woman exploits child labor like this, and the girl is only 4 years old at that. She really has no moral integrity.

"Ahem, I'm giving Lily a chance to practice."

Chen Li was very quick. There were many rocks in the small valley that had been washed down by the flood and accumulated nearby, so Chen Li quickly moved enough stones to build a simple stone stove by the stream.

Li Jie could do nothing but squat on the side and watch Zhang Haixing ignite the fire.

“It’s so warm!”

There was wind in the valley. Even though they were staying on the edge of a cliff sheltered from the wind, the cold wind was weaker but still blew everywhere.

The little girl waited for the flames to rise and immediately felt much warmer!

"Brother, hurry up, I've already piled up the stones!"

Only Chen Li moved more than a dozen stones without even breathing hard. She even put her hands on her hips and taunted the brothers who were still smashing the ice hard.

"Lily, the ice is too thick, half a meter deep. How can it be so fast?"

“Let me play!”

Chen Li ran over and took Fatty Wang's shovel. The little guy smashed it hard, relying entirely on brute force.

If it were an ordinary person, after a few hits, even if the wrist was not injured, the muscles would soon become sore.

The master in the blacksmith shop and the old farmer in the field all rely on inertia and gravity and would never hit so violently.

"Bang bang bang!"

The hard manganese steel shovel hit the ice hard and soon made a small hole.

Even if several teenagers worked together, they were not as good as the little Loli who had taken the Tibetan Sea Flower Insect Medicine.

This made Chen Feng, who was roasting a fire and peeling skin nearby, think about cooperating with the Zhang family again once or twice. He believed that the Zhang family must have stocks of Cang Hai Hua to complete the insect medicine.

Just like the well water in his hand is endless!

"Tell me, I'll trade you twenty bottles of well water for two insecticides. Would those old immortals in your family be willing to do that?"

Zhang Haixiong was still smiling as she watched Chen Li fooling around, but turned her head away when she heard this.

"Aren't you afraid that our Zhang family will unlock the formula?"

I really don’t believe it!

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head. The old man gave so many health-preserving wines to the Changshengshan lineage and friendly allies, but didn't anyone smart enough to take them for testing?

How can it be!

That's really underestimating Todai!

If the old man didn't have a special status and asked you to contribute the recipe to serve the entire nation, would you dare not take it?

Are you cutting yourself off from the people?

In fact, the old man took the initiative to hand over the formula, but after verification, everyone found that the formula and ingredients were correct, but the efficacy was completely different.

This is something that the researchers can’t figure out!

The formula has been verified and the ingredient testing has been completed, but where does the efficacy come from?

The technological level of the University of Tokyo has not yet reached the microscopic level that can reveal things below the molecular level.

It cannot be done here. The Zhang family may be able to get the most advanced foreign analysis equipment, but it is only at the atomic level, and it is estimated that it will not be able to analyze the well water energy contained in the medicinal wine.

Just like after decades, the West still cannot analyze the composition of insect medicine and has to spend money to hire Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi.

Even decades later, technology will not be able to analyze the ingredients of insecticides or synthesize these substances, let alone more advanced well water.

"It doesn't matter. You study our Chen family's well water, and I study your Zhang family's insect medicine. It's fair!"

Zhang Haixing's smile faded. After a moment's thought, he said, "If the old man promises not to touch Changbai Mountain in the future and lets the nine clans take turns guarding the secret, I think the elders will definitely agree."

"In fact, as long as the old man agrees to this, let alone two, even seven or eight will do."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "The people above already know about the existence of Changbai Mountain. How could they leave it alone?"

"This isn't something my grandfather can stop. No one can stop the powerful and wealthy who are nearing the end of their lives. They are crazy!"

Zhang Haixing smiled bitterly.

There is really no way to deal with this matter. It's because Jude Kao, the foreigner who pursues immortality, has laid waste to everyone before escaping and handed over a large number of membership lists and secrets of the Nine Gates to the authorities.

Zhang Qishan became the director of Bureau 749 largely because of the situation!

If he doesn't do it, someone else will do it. Then all nine sects will be wiped out, and a lot of resources will be wasted!
