After signing a contract with the five beasts, they developed a sense of spiritual connection with Yun Shu and were able to communicate with each other in consciousness.
Of course, this is one-sided, the initiative is in Yun Shu's hands, the master-servant contract, and even the life and death of the other party are under her control.
Finally able to "communicate", Yun Shu also knew the situation of the five beasts. The reason why they could sense the spiritual energy first was because they themselves were the overlords of Sifang Mountain.
Xishan is the territory of the big mountain rat and the fat python. Because the body of the fat python determines that the mountain rat can't even fill the gap between its teeth, so the snakes and rats, which were originally at the upper and lower levels of the food chain, can actually coexist peacefully.
The two caves occupied by Yun Shu are usually the nests of mountain rats. When it snows in winter, the hot spring caves are occupied by fat pythons, which corresponds to the word - a nest of snakes and rats.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Ganoderma lucidum under the oak tree was brought by the mountain rat under the guidance of the fat python. Yun Shu shamelessly pretended not to know, but in his heart he valued these two beasts more.
The fox, weasel and sika deer dominate the Dongshan, Nanshan and Beishan mountains respectively. Except for the solitary fat python, there are many other clan animals.
Among them, foxes and weasels have lived for more than 200 years and are more spiritual than the 500-year-old fat python. Due to their species, they are also very popular in the surrounding human villages.
If he hadn't met Yun Shu, in another hundred or two hundred years, he might actually become a "charming fairy".
As for the sika deer, as a herbivore, it was able to break through the siege and carve out a territory in the mountain, but there was another reason - there is also a hot spring hidden in the deepest part of Beishan, which is only different from the spring in the cave in the West. It is an open-air hot spring.
Because of the hot springs, a small valley that feels like spring all year round has been formed between Beishan and a peak. Perhaps because it is inaccessible, sticks are everywhere there. Not to mention the spirit gathering array, because of the stimulation of spiritual power, it can be transformed from the mountain in one night. There are many ginsengs whose fifth-grade leaves metamorphose into sixth-grade leaves, and even the legendary seventh-grade leaves.
The reason why the sika deer was unwilling to give in to Yun Shu was not because he was greedy for ginseng, but because he was pretentious. After all, the boss was not as wealthy as him.
After secretly knowing the sika deer's psychology, Yun Shu almost couldn't hold back the magic stick's "loving all things" expression.
But this also made Yun Shu know that people become better with age and things become strange with age. Moreover, Lian Yunshu had managed to accumulate some wealth during his fifty years in the underworld, let alone this weirdo who had lived for hundreds of years. How could he not be a rich man?
Yun Shu subconsciously touched his chin and showed a "kind" smile to the five men.
"You want to live in my treasured land, absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, and collect the essence of the sun and the moon, right?"
"The so-called blood brothers have settled the accounts. Come on, let's talk about the rent issue!"
"Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, gold and silver, jewelry, food, use...as long as I think it is useful, you can use it as rent, starting from one month. Okay, now you can go back and prepare. In three days, I will be here Waiting for you. Well, Fat Python and Mountain Rat can be exempted from one month’s rent.”
After taking the fox, weasel and sika deer away, Yun Shu explored the entire cave under the guidance of the mountain rat. The cave was larger and deeper than Yun Shu imagined. The exit was at the foot of the West Mountain, separated by a small river. Facing Beishan.
At this time, the sun was already high above the head, and the ten roast chickens eaten earlier had long been digested into grains and reincarnation.
However, Yun Shu thought about her promise that Da Zhuang would be home before evening, so she didn't dare to delay any longer. She directly took some food from the mall and asked the fat python and mountain rat to guard the door while she hurried down the mountain.
Arriving halfway up the mountain where the rabbits were roasted, Yun Shu looked at the traps she had set earlier. Because the places where she had placed traps were densely populated by roe deer and badgers, and they were the only way to pass by, more than a hundred traps were actually caught. There were two roe deer, three badgers, and a dozen pheasants and rabbits. It was a fruitful harvest.
Yun Shu dug a hole in the ice again, and big fish jumped out without using a fishing net.
After putting the game away in the space, changing her clothes, and putting away her watch, Yun Shu began to go down the mountain at full speed. Before it got dark, she had already reached the foot of the mountain, and she could see her door in the distance.
In front of the gate, a large figure was moving with trembling hands and feet while looking at each other. When he saw Yun Shu, who had already taken out the prey and hung it all over his body, he showed a smile brighter than the summer sun. , running over and shouting: "Sister!"
Yun Shu unconsciously quickened his pace. When Da Zhuang arrived, he saw the cold blush on his brother's face and didn't know how long he had been waiting outside.
Yun Shu was angry and worried at the same time, "Didn't I say I would definitely come back this evening? If I freeze you, why don't you make trouble for me? Is there anything going on at home? Where is Xiaozhuang?"
Listening to his sister crackling like a firecracker, Da Zhuang was not angry, but looked at her with a smile and took the two pheasants from her hand.
"There was nothing going on at home and no one came. I fed Xiaozhuang milk powder at noon and sent him to Fusheng's sister-in-law's place to play with Dabao. I only said that my sister and I were going to collect firewood. I wasn't always outside. I just came out. I saw my sister."
Da Zhuang saw that Yun Shu's body was covered with prey, and said very flatteringly: "Sister, I think you are more capable than Brother Xikten."
It's a pity that his sister said that she went to live with her great-grandfather and suddenly became extremely powerful. She couldn't learn this kind of skill.
Yun Shu looked at Da Zhuang's little face that would turn red from the cold in no time, and didn't bother to expose his white lie.
"Hurry into the house. Today, I will stew roe deer meat for you, and tomorrow you will eat rice with badger oil."
Yun Shu thought about the three badgers. Each one was very fat. The fat they boiled was enough for their family to eat all winter, and there was still some leftover.
Moreover, badger oil is the best medicinal oil for treating burns and frostbite. It is also very decent as a gift.
After entering the house, the two siblings gathered their prey together, and Da Zhuang pestered Yun Shu to tell him about their trip to the mountains.
Yun Shu also wanted to teach his younger brother a lesson, so he told him many things he should pay attention to when hunting.
For example, looking for a cave to stay at night or a wind-blown stone nest, or how to observe animal droppings and footprints.
Among them, these animal footprints are of great significance. Some old hunters can guess what kind of animal it is, how many there are, and how much it weighs by looking at the animal's footprints.
During this period, Yun Shu also took out the fox he borrowed from Da Zhuang, "When the skin is tanned, I will make you a fox fur coat."
Da Zhuang was only two years old at the time, but he still remembered the allusion of "Fox Fur Jacket". He looked at the three foxes with no wounds, and said nothing for a long time.
Seeing that he had made his brother sad, Yun Shu quickly made amends and talked about how he "accidentally saved a white fox and the white fox repaid his kindness".
It was nothing more than a routine where the white fox cried, and then Yun Shu couldn't bear to let it go, and then the white fox repaid the favor by giving him ginseng.
Yun Shu also took out a few ginseng plants to show to his younger brother, but Da Zhuang completely forgot about the fox fur coat and only chased Yun Shu to ask if the white fox was a fox fairy.
Yun Shu naturally used his deception skills to vaccinate his younger brother in advance, fearing that one day the five beasts would really come to his door and scare him.
As Yun Shu spoke, the sharp hunting knife in his hand was not idle. He picked a roe deer that had not been dead for a long time and had not yet been frozen. He first cut off the horns on the head of the male roe deer, and then cut it directly from the lower jaw. The skin is broken open all the way to the lower abdomen, and then the skin and flesh are separated along this opening.
With Yun Shu's current control of strength, he could peel off the entire roe deer skin without any damage. After scraping off the oil, he could tan the skin directly.
But now, eating is more important.
