For many people, Yuntai Mountain may just be a tourist area with beautiful scenery, sighing at its strange and mysterious features, or its unpredictable, beautiful and enchanting scenery. But for Zhao Jinyu, it is completely different. He has a special feeling for this mountain, which can give him the warmth of home. Lok Man Novels
For Zhao Jinyu, every trip to Yuntai Mountain is a warm journey that soothes and calms his soul. It makes him feel that he is no longer alone in this other world, as if his family is still there. The sky silently watched him and protected him.
This time when he entered the mountain, Zhao Jinyu did not disturb anyone, including Wang Qiang, who lived in the same house. At three o'clock in the morning the next day, while others were having a good dream, he left quietly alone.
Before leaving, he put the note that he had entered the mountain in a conspicuous place in the living room so that Wang Qiang could know his whereabouts. Then he carried food, water and other necessities on his back and entered Yuntai Mountain through an inaccessible trail.
After entering the mountain, he was not in a hurry to go deep into the dense forest to collect herbs. Instead, he carried his luggage straight to the secret room with a little eagerness.
This secret room cave is located underground in the mountains. In addition to the entrance and exit that he sealed, there are other openings for ventilation. It has not been entered for several months, so the inside is somewhat contaminated with dust.
There are now very few opportunities for Zhao Jinyu to do some trivial matters in daily life. However, every time he comes here, he will clean and organize the entire secret room carefully. Before dawn, I put my backpack on my back and left the secret room, heading towards the depths of Yuntai Mountain.
When he first arrived in another world, his habit made him eager to recover his martial arts. After more than a year of practice, his Tianyi Mind Technique now had a vague premonition of breaking through to the ninth level.
He believes that he has few opponents in this world. Even with the blessing of hot weapons, he believes that he is no less powerful. As a result, he no longer thinks about improvement all the time like when he first came here. This gave him enough self-confidence to feel that he could slow down his mental skills cultivation, allowing himself to live leisurely and leisurely, making him more calm than when he first arrived in another world.
Zhao Jinyu considered that in addition to school courses, she was busy with many other things and it was difficult to leave Kyoto for long periods of time, so she decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to come over and prepare to go deeper into the dense forest than before and pick more herbs. ,in case for need.
After picking the herbs, they need to be processed and dried in time. In the past, it was inconvenient for him to stay in hotels, so he could only pick some herbs that were rare in the market. Now that he has his own place, it is much more convenient.
Zhao Jinyu now has all the food, clothing, housing and transportation he needs, without him having to ask, someone has arranged them for him properly. In this way, Chen Lihui is afraid of wronging him, so he often calls back to check in when he is in the army.
Therefore, knowing that he was going into the mountain earlier, Wang Qiang still wanted to go in with him even if he knew his skills, just for fear that he would make some mistake inside and it would be hard to explain.
Zhao Jinyu also understood this and wanted to walk quietly, so he did not want to wake Wang Qiang and left quietly alone.
If you want to go deep into the virgin forest to collect herbs, you must eat, sleep, and cross mountains. For many people, it must be a very hard and dangerous thing, but for Zhao Jinyu, he does not think so. Of course, it was inevitable to suffer some physical pain, but mentally it made him feel more relaxed than in Kyoto, and he felt like he was on vacation here. This is more due to his previous life, living in a mountain that was almost isolated from the world since he was a child.
Collecting herbs in mountainous areas is not only hard work, but you may also encounter mosquito bites, poisonous snakes, and beasts of attack. What's more, going deep into the inaccessible virgin forest, you will encounter even more dangers. It's just that these are only relative to ordinary people. For Zhao Jinyu, who has lived in Yuntai Mountain for more than ten years and has achieved great success in martial arts, these dangers are nothing.
Zhao Jinyu's self-confidence is not only because of his own martial arts, but also because of the full preparation he makes before entering the mountains every time, so that he is not afraid of these unpredictable dangers.
Just like every time before, this trip into the primeval forest went smoothly. Not only were we able to find two kinds of detoxifying herbs in the hot spring canyon discovered at the end of last year, but we also found many of the more popular medicinal herbs on the market nearby. Rare medicinal materials.
All this was what he expected. After he went deeper into the virgin forest, he not only collected a lot of rare medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, but also accidentally discovered a ginseng plant that was nearly a century old. It can definitely be said to be the largest medicinal collection in this time. surprise.
Centenary-year-old ginseng was rarely seen even in previous lives (of course, officials and masters like theirs would definitely have it in their hands, not to mention that now, century-old wild ginseng is absolutely priceless and unavailable on the market. This It has to be said that it is a lucky thing to meet him for the first time. Even if he is as calm as he is, he can't help but feel happy.
Calculating the time, today is already the fifth day in the mountains. Zhao Jinyu sat on a piece of dry grass, looked at the considerable amount of herbs spread out to dry in front of him, and decided to go out tonight.
Send these herbs to the villa and let Wang Qiang help dry them, and also take the opportunity to go out and clean them. Although there are springs and streams in the mountains, he is not afraid of the severe cold and can even find hot springs, but after all, it is in the wilds of the mountains, so it is not as convenient as outside.
After Zhao Jinyu made the decision, he quickly put away the tents, outdoor cooking utensils, etc. The herbs were put into a large bamboo-backed basket and bag that he had purchased specially for collecting herbs in the mountains. After packing everything up, he found a conspicuous and safe place to put the tents and other items that did not need to be taken out. He would go into the mountains tomorrow, so he would not have to take any effort to take these things out.
Zhao Jinyu looked at the dim sunset through the sparse branches. He raised his hand to straighten the bamboo basket on his back and the bag on it. Thinking that he still had to climb two mountains before going out, he couldn't help but quicken his pace. Just thinking about rushing forward, walking in this primitive forest full of dangers, he should always keep in mind the vigilance he should have.
Precisely because he was always vigilant, even small sounds dozens of meters away could not escape his ears, not to mention the sudden sound of someone speaking in this inaccessible dense forest, which was even more difficult for him to ignore.
Although this is not the dense forest he has gone deep into these days, it is also far away from the tourist attractions that have been developed outside. Even if there are nearby villagers who want to go into the mountains to collect medicine or hunt, for their own safety, generally speaking, it is late at night. There should be very few people staying in the mountains.
On such a cold winter night, and in such a deep mountain and dense forest, Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but feel extremely surprised when he suddenly heard someone talking. However, he was not a nosy person, so when he heard the voice of someone speaking, it was just After a pause, he continued on his way without stopping to listen.
"Help, help!"
Zhao Jinyu was about to continue walking, but suddenly the voice turned into a loud cry for help. Without thinking about it, he immediately changed direction and went in the direction of the sound.
"Xiao Si, in this deep mountain and old forest, there is not a single ghost at night, so don't waste your breath." From the man's voice, he could feel his irritability at this time, and at the same time he seemed a little helpless.
"Brother, how did you know there was no such thing? Someone might have passed by and screamed a few times for free. Oh my, it hurts me to death." After another male voice didn't say a few words, he began to cry out in pain again.
"There's no point in being anxious. Don't call for someone. You've just called the wolf, the bear, the blind man. Okay, have a good night's sleep. You should be better tomorrow. If you really can't do it, you can only see if you can meet other people tomorrow. If you are in trouble, you can only call 110 and call the police, and someone will naturally come to rescue you."
"Tmd, it's so unlucky. I almost went out and fell down. Oh, if I really need someone to save me, don't I have to throw all these away? Damn, isn't my hard work in vain?"
Although poaching is illegal, there is no fear of people hearing in this deep mountain and dense forest, and the two of them have no scruples when talking, and they can say whatever comes to mind.
After waiting for a while, another person spoke, "It is absolutely impossible to lose this leopard. You can exchange it for money immediately if you take it out. If you lose it, won't it be in vain?! After I call the police tomorrow, what will you do with those people?" When the police leave, I will take these away alone. When the time comes, you will get a lot of the money you deserve from the sale."
"Can you do it alone?" the man called Xiaosi asked with some doubt.
"Take as much as you can. If you can't take away, find a place to hide it. I'll come back in a day or two. Otherwise, what can I do? Are you willing to lose it?"
"I've broken my legs for these things, so of course I can't bear to part with them. I just won't be discovered by the police then, right? If you're caught poaching, you'll go to jail!"
…
At first, Zhao Jinyu really didn't expect that the two people calling for help were poachers in the mountains. He looked for the sound and listened to the two brothers discussing how to find someone to ask for help tomorrow and how to deceive the police. He was very excited for a moment. Some hesitated. Through the conversation between these two people, it soon became clear that they had a rich trip. To be honest, he didn't want to rescue such a person.
What he was considering now was whether he should continue on his way as if he didn't know what these two people were doing, or whether he should teach these two people a lesson.
Even though the level of science and technology has greatly improved compared to his previous life, and the living standards of ordinary people have also undergone earth-shaking changes, he still understands that many families have difficult lives, especially in remote mountainous areas in the countryside.
In ancient times, of course, there were no animal protection laws, but this does not mean that the ancients would kill innocent birds and beasts. The hunters at that time would consciously or unconsciously abide by many rules that had been passed down since ancient times.
As far as he knows, ordinary hunters only need to rely on hunting to have food and clothing. They believe that killing too many animals will lead to evil consequences. They will never kill many animals at once. Hunting will also miss the lactation period of animals and encounter cubs. Will definitely let it go.
Even though there is an animal protection law now, Zhao Jinyu feels that he can completely understand why he can go hunting in the mountains to improve his life in autumn when the animals are plump. As long as he avoids some rare animals, Zhao Jinyu feels that indiscriminate killing is a bit excessive.
It is a good thing for modern people to get rid of feudal superstition, but many times it also makes people lose their sense of awe, and there is often a lack of restraint and bottom line in doing things.
Zhao Jinyu stood on the side of the cave where the two were hiding, looking at the burning flames. After thinking for a few minutes, he took out a black pill and threw it into the fire.
After waiting for a few more minutes and knowing that the two people inside were completely unconscious, he pushed aside the stones at the entrance of the cave, crossed the fire, and bent down to enter the cave where the two were hiding. The entrance of the cave is not big, but the space inside is not small. And because it is halfway up the mountain, the inside seems quite dry. It is definitely a good place to rest at night in the deep mountains and old forests where dangers are everywhere.
The two unconscious men lying on the side leaning against the stone wall, several hares and pheasants tied together with ropes, and the piles of furs of various colors, Zhao Jinyu only glanced at these and paid all his attention. Focus on the leopard in the deepest part of the cave.
This was still an underage leopard. The smell of blood on its body showed that the leopard had been seriously injured. Its limbs were tightly tied with ropes and it was lying on the ground.
This leopard was not completely unconscious like the two men. When he saw someone approaching, his whole body was struggling, but his bound limbs made this struggle seem extremely futile.
Zhao Jinyu squatted down, held down the wild leopard hard, and checked it carefully. He found that the left forelimb was broken and there were some injuries on the left abdomen. Fortunately, they were not serious. Lying on the ground so weakly now was probably because he had been drugged just now, and it must have been caused by some kind of drug that was injected.
The wild leopard was vicious and cruel by nature, but it was injured, was under the influence of drugs, and had its limbs tied and thrown to the ground, making its struggle look a bit pitiful. But even so, at this moment, its eyes looked at Zhao Jinyu as if it was about to spit out flames, hoping to burn the person in front of it alive.
Zhao Jinyu gently stroked the back of the underage leopard. Perhaps it was an illusion, but he always felt that there was a kind of prayer hidden deep in the vicious eyes. He couldn't help but sigh, forget it if he didn't meet it. Now that he met it, consider this little leopard lucky, so let's save his life.
It was born in the wild and lives in dense forests in the mountains. Let it return to nature!

Because of meeting the two poaching men, it was already close to eleven o'clock when Zhao Jinyu returned to the villa, more than an hour later than originally expected.
After he entered the house, he found that besides Wang Qiang in the villa, he was a little surprised that there was also He Yuejin, whom he had met a few days ago. But thinking about their relationship, he felt normal.
He Yuejin seemed a little embarrassed when he saw him. When he saw him entering the room, he immediately stood up and said hello, "Master Yu, hello! Well... thank you for sending my mother to the hospital that day, thank you!"
Zhao Jinyu followed Wang Qiang's hand to take off the things on his back, looked at the helpless middle-aged man in front of him, smiled and nodded, "Hello, squad leader He, you are Uncle Wang's old squad leader, just call me by the same name as Uncle Wang. , don’t call me young master!”
Zhao Jinyu noticed that He Yuejin was nervous and uncomfortable, so she smiled and chatted with him for a few words, and went upstairs to take a shower without staying on the first floor.
When he went downstairs again and saw that Wang Qiang was the only one there, he asked, "Why did squad leader He leave so quickly?"
"Jin Yu, come here and have something to eat," Wang Qiang pointed to a cup of hot milk and a basket of steamed dumplings and steamed dumplings on the coffee table. He saw Jin Yu coming back with a lot of herbs on his back and knew that he had just come out of the mountains and might be a little hungry, so he thought about getting something to eat.
After Zhao Jinyu sat down, Wang Qiang answered his question, "The squad leader has gone back. He came here just to thank you in person. What a coincidence. He came here just in time for you to come back tonight. He will be here during the day He was busy doing business and had to take care of his mother, so I asked him to go back and rest early."
Zhao Jinyu took a sip of milk before asking a little strangely, "Where is his wife? Why is he busy alone?"
Wang Qiang hesitated before answering, "His wife has not been back home since she went to work in the south a few years ago. Now the old squad leader lives with his mother and a pair of children." Wang Qiang thought about it for a while before comparing He Yuejin's current situation with Jin. Yu said.
"divorced?"
Wang Qiang shook his head, "In the early years, in rural areas, when a man and a woman got married, they just invited relatives and friends to have a drink. Even if they were officially married, few people went out of their way to get a certificate. Why can't they get a divorce now?"
"Jinyu, there is something I want to discuss with you," Wang Qiang continued after seeing Zhao Jinyu nodding, "I would like to invite Lao He to take care of this villa in the future. What do you think? Lao He He has a good personality and a strong sense of responsibility. In the past few days, I asked someone to check his information after retiring, and I felt that he was trustworthy.
Another thing, which is also a little selfish on my part, is that Lao He has not been living well these past few years, and I thought I could help him in this way.
Jinyu, do you think it’s okay? If possible, I will tell Lao He and ask him to come over and let you see him. "
Zhao Jinyu never paid much attention to such trivial matters, and he had met He Yuejin twice. If he saw it right, this person should be a very honest and honest person. When Wang Qiang said this, he nodded simply, "You The decision is, I don’t need to see you again.”
After drinking a glass of hot milk and eating something, I felt that my stomach was finally not so empty, so I told Wang Qiang what happened a few hours ago, and finally said, "I let go of the most valuable leopard. Do you want me to call the police station to tell you?"
He knew that poaching was against the law and he should call the police if he encountered one. However, he felt that he had ruined the person's "financial path" and felt a little sorry if he let someone into the cell again.
"...," Wang Qiang.
