"Then what are you talking about? Isn't it a waste of time and a waste of time?" Zhang Xuli was a little unhappy, a waste of energy.
"No," Feng Ziying said: "When looking for someone in the mountains, you can only take it step by step."
"Okay, okay, okay," Zhang Xuli nodded vigorously, "I listen to you and search slowly. When you get tired of searching, you have to treat me to dinner when you get back."
"Uh," Feng Ziying spread her hands and said faintly, "How can I have money?"
Zhang Xuli glanced at Feng Ziying, felt that it made sense, and said: "That's right, you have no money, so in this way, you owe it first and pay it back slowly later."
"I think you are a money-worshiper, thinking about how to deduct other people's money all day long." Luo Feng said with a helpless smile.
"That's right, if you don't have money, try it." Zhang Xuli asked.
"If you don't talk about this, let's find the drunkard first." Luo Feng changed the subject.
Feng Ziying thought for a while and said: "Then we can only walk through this wasteland and walk slowly along the foot of the mountain. If we see a stream, it is very likely that Jiu Zuizi's thatched cottage is nearby."
"It's possible again," Zhang Xuli said helplessly: "Can you be sure?"
"You can only be sure if you find it." Feng Ziying said.
"Okay, I'm convinced." Zhang Xuli could not refute.
At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the slopes are connected one after another, forming countless mountain depressions, some deep and some shallow, in the form of steps connected with Nanshan Mountain.
The top of the mountain col is covered with rocks and trees, and the ground is covered with weeds, making walking very inconvenient.
Luo Feng walked through several high slopes under the leadership of Feng Ziying, but did not find the shadow of the thatched cottage.
Zhang Xuli felt like he couldn't walk anymore and gasped: "Ziying, can you let me go and lead us to find him quickly, otherwise I will die from exhaustion here and you have to pay for the coffin."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay for it." Feng Ziying said, her eyes constantly checking the surrounding situation.
"Xuli, don't make any noise." Luo Feng looked around and said, "It's really hard to find at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Ziying, it's up to you."
"Well," Feng Ziying nodded slightly, carefully checked the terrain, pointed to two high slopes in the distance based on the route and line of sight just taken, and said, "We can try to walk near those two high slopes."
"Why that?" Zhang Xuli asked.
Feng Ziying pointed to the route he just walked and said: "We walked those roads just now. This area is all under our sight. I didn't find any streams or other traces. And under the two high slopes, we can't see the situation. If There is a stream, and you should be able to find it soon by walking up the stream."
Zhang Xuli had no other choice but to nod and say: "Okay, I'll trust you again. If it doesn't work this time, you won't be allowed to use the title Mountain Hunter next time."
"Ziying, you lead the way, we will follow you." Luo Feng said.
"Okay," Feng Ziying responded, and then said to Zhang Xuli: "I have the title of mountain hunter, are you envious of it?"
"It's not that I'm envious, but it's still nice to have a title, and it's also very domineering."
Luo Feng listened and said with a smile: "Xuli, don't you have the title of being a freeloader?"
Well, Zhang Xuli was embarrassed for a while, and said with a naive smile: "Haha, that one doesn't count, let's change it."
The three of them were walking and talking. Feng Ziying suddenly stopped and listened carefully.
Luo Feng and Zhang Xuli also stopped and followed Feng Ziying to listen carefully.
"The sound of water flowing," Luo Feng said.
"Yes," Feng Ziying slowly smiled, "The stream at the foot of Nanshan Mountain is nearby. Let's go and look for it."
A few people felt that they had hope, so they walked much faster, and soon ran to two high slopes. A three-meter-wide stream lay calmly under the high slopes.
Looking up along the stream, it slowly extends up the high slope to the south mountain and disappears into the stone side of the mountain.
"Okay." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Now as long as you walk along the stream, you won't need to walk for too long. You can definitely find Jiu Zuizi's thatched cottage."
"I didn't expect you to have two skills." Zhang Xuli praised Feng Ziying.
"Then walk quickly, pay attention to both sides, don't miss the thatched house." Luo Feng said as he walked.
Feng Ziying followed and added: "The main thing is to see, as long as the line of sight is no more than one kilometer away from here, if there is an obstruction within one kilometer, we still have to go and have a look to avoid the thatched cottage being blocked."
"What if it's two kilometers away?" Zhang Xuli asked.
"Of course this happens, but generally in mountains or at the foot of mountains, when building a house, you won't be too far away from the water source. Otherwise, wouldn't you be causing trouble for yourself?"
Zhang Xuli was right after thinking about it, "It makes sense, let's leave first."
Along the stream, I walked up from the foot of Nanshan Mountain for about three kilometers. Between a mountain wall and a few trees, there was a piece of withered yellow straw. If I looked closer, I saw that it was a roof. Under the roof, there were An earth-yellow mud wall.
"Look at the house." Feng Ziying pointed at the thatched cottage and said.
Luo Feng was overjoyed. He finally found this drunkard. Luo Feng was full of curiosity about this drunken man. The first, second, and third time they met were all in a hurry, but they seemed to be arranged in advance. It was such a coincidence that we would see each other again this time. , be sure to ask clearly.
"Let's go quickly." Luo Feng walked quickly to the bottom of the thatched house.
An old wooden door was half-opened in the middle of a cracked yellow wall. There were two windows on both sides of the wooden door, which were tightly closed.
Before he could reach the wooden door, a clear and loud voice came from inside, "Here we come, come in quickly."
Hearing someone talking inside, Luo Feng didn't need to worry about whether there was anyone inside. He walked quickly to the wooden door, pushed it gently with his hand, opened it, and stepped in immediately.
Behind the wooden door is a living room. There is nothing else in the living room except a table, a chair, and a pen and paper.
But there was another person in the corner, holding a kettle, walking out of the side door, and continued: "Sit down quickly."
After saying the word "sit", Mr. Tuoba, a drunkard, suddenly felt embarrassed and said: "I'm really sorry, no one visits our house all year round, so there are no stools, let alone chairs. Otherwise, we can just sit on a few plants outside the house. Sit under the tree?"
Sitting on the floor, it was quite pleasant, Luo Feng said: "Okay, let's go, I really have too many questions and I want to ask for advice."
"Haha," Tuoba Xiangchang chuckled and led Luo Feng and others out of the house, walked to a few big trees in front of the thatched house, and sat cross-legged.
Zhang Xuli poked his head and stared at Tuoba Xiangchang, and said with a smile: "Brother Tuoba, you are so bad at it. If you hadn't saved us, I wouldn't even bother to talk to you."
"Oh, haha," Mr. Tuoba laughed a few times and asked, "What should I do?"
"This?" Zhang Xuli couldn't answer for a while, "Anyway, that, well, forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you."
"Haha," Tuoba laughed loudly: "Now that I live on the Central Continent, I can still have enough to eat, but soon I may not even have anything to eat."
