When Mr. Mi said this, his eyes became wary: "Think about it, a soul abandoned by the mountain god means that he was abandoned by the mountain god, and in the process of being reincarnated as an adult, he took the life of a baby. Such a dead soul will once again How can people not mind being born?”
Song Siyuan explained: "Old man, is that the reason for the albino's skin color?"
Mr. Mi nodded: "Indeed, the mountain god banished the erring soul from the mountain in order to make the soul suffer from birth, old age, illness, death, poverty and loneliness, in order to achieve the purpose of educating him. Making the child's whole body turn white is also part of suffering from illness. , suffer until adulthood, and then be taken back again by the mountain god after entering the sacred mountain."
"Such an albino boy, also called a mountain god boy, or a farmer's god boy. Before adulthood, because of his skin color, he is easily abandoned as a monster. He will never survive to adulthood. By the time he does survive to adulthood, he has probably experienced all kinds of hardships in the world. The mountain god will personally call them back."
"Calling them back in person?" Yue Guanchao became curious.
"Yes." Mr. Mi nodded to the people around him: "Albino is a mountain god boy. Once he becomes an adult, as long as he enters Shennongjia, he will probably never come out again. The old people say that Albino has suffered atonement for his sins and was picked up by the mountain god. Go back and continue to be the messenger."
"Then, do you know of such a person? Or, have any albino children been born in the past few decades?"
Song Siyuan and the others already knew in advance that Albino was actually a Guifang person with pure blood. The purpose of asking was just to find out the news about Albino nearby. Maybe there was news about Ban Shu's life experience.
"hiss!"
Mr. Mi frowned: "This, this era is a long time ago, and we have to go forward a few thirty or forty years. At that time, such a person did appear in the Farm God Village."
Thirty or forty years ago... Ban Shu was already thirty-five years old. If you calculate it this way, the albino who appeared that year was probably related to him. Song Siyuan knew that there were some stories in it, and immediately said anxiously: "This person, Can we meet him?"
After listening to her words, Mr. Mi shook his head helplessly: "Then we can't see any of us. We have disappeared, or according to the old man's words, we were picked up by the mountain god."
He coughed a few times and played with walnuts and said: "Back then, this incident was quite a big deal... At that time, Farm God Village was still a burial village."
Decades ago, in addition to collecting corpses, the Burial Death Village also gathered many hunters who came to hunt near Shennongjia. At that time, many hunters set up camp directly in the Burial Death Village for the convenience of hunting. The Mi family was also in the Burial Death Village back then. People who live in peace and build homes.
Hunters in the village come and go, but there is no fixed household. Mi Laoshuan has completely forgotten many of them. Even if you stand in front of him, he may not know you, but there is one family he will never forget - Burial Death. At the far east end of the village, there was an Orion family named Zheng. He remembered it so clearly because this family took in an albino!
Albino, not to mention the Burial Village, or even the villages, towns and cities around Yannongjia, they are all unlucky symbols. Ordinary people can't hide, so how can they make do with it?
But this family just held an umbrella on a sunny day and did not take the usual route.
This situation is possible only because this albino once saved Orion's life.
That year, it was already snowing in the middle of winter. When the Zheng family moved in late autumn, they didn't even have a house. By the time they built a house in the wild forest at the east end, winter was already approaching.
In a remote and remote place like Burial Village, there is not even a slightly flat field. They all rely on growing food in the mountains. Otherwise, they can only go hunting in the mountains to exchange for money and buy winter grains.
Since this family had just moved here and built a new house, they were as poor as they could be. In order to have food for the winter, the hunter named Zheng decided to go into the mountains to catch up with the winter famine. He would hunt dozens more prey and replace them first. Money, grains, grains, and charcoal can help the whole family have a peaceful New Year.
Why drive away the winter famine?
Late autumn is over, and the depth of winter is coming. Hunters who rely on the mountains for food rush into the mountains to hunt again before animals hibernate. This is called chasing the winter famine.
Whether in the northeast, grassland, or northwest, any hunter who relies on the mountains to make a living has experienced the winter famine.
Of course, if you can prepare the money, food, meat, and charcoal for the winter before winter, you don't need to rush into the winter famine. Anyone who wants to go into the mountains in winter either hasn't prepared anything, or is anxious to use the money. Go hunting in the mountains during winter.
No matter what the reason is, catching up with the winter famine is not an easy task!
There is a saying that winter comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides. Autumn is a good time for farmers to have a good harvest and animals to fatten up. Hunters are in pursuit of autumn. As long as they are a veteran who is not lazy, they will definitely return with a full load. When late autumn is over, if you want to go again Hunting is difficult.
When hunting, you should also pay attention to following the trend. In winter, not many animals come out to move around. When winter comes, animals either hibernate or have to hide from the cold and make dens. They hide in their dens and cannot come out.
When hunting at this time, it is no longer useful to just rely on your legs and feet to be diligent, it all depends on your own luck and experience.
Experienced hunters know where animals like to make their nests, and they also know how to find animal nests by following the traces of defecation. They can also find a lot of good things by relying on this.
Just one thing to note is that when you find an animal's nest, although you can get prey, it is equivalent to irritating the animal. Once noticed by the animal, the small animals are not a threat. Big animals such as tigers, wolves, antlers, deer and foxes, but Will fight with people desperately.
Orion Lao Zheng is an extremely experienced hunter. If he were placed in other wild forests, he would be destined to return with a full harvest. Unfortunately, he ran into Shennongjia.
Shennongjia itself was a huge maze, and it was the middle of winter, with snow falling everywhere and the vastness making it difficult for animals to get out. He was in a hurry to buy money, food, meat and charcoal. It was impossible to turn back, so he had to bite the bullet and continue on his way in. , and at the same time, he also had his own thoughts.
In his opinion, shooting a few pheasants and rabbits and taking them to the market to exchange for money is not enough to survive the winter. If he wants to save effort, he has to work hard on valuable animals.
What is the most valuable thing in today’s market? Of course it's tiger skin, wolf skin, fox skin, deer skin.
Orion hunter Lao Zheng decided to give up the hares and pheasants and try his best to attack these animals. The hard work paid off, and he actually asked him to use the meat of pheasants and rabbits to squat down a female wolf.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the female wolf came to the bait smelling the scent of the hare. Lao Zheng sprinkled musk powder on the hare. As soon as the wild wolf came to bite the prey, he could rely on the smell of the musk powder to find the wild wolf. 's nest.
After biting the hook, the female wolf carefully looked around to make sure no one was found. She pulled the hare and started running towards the wolf den. Lao Zheng relied on the scent left by the musk powder to follow the female wolf to the wolf den. son.
With just one gunshot, the female wolf who was about to enter the den was shot in the head and died outside the wolf den.
Seeing that the female wolf had died, Lao Zheng ran to the wolf den and dug up weeds. In the wolf den, there were six or seven wolf cubs waiting to be fed. Each of them was as big as a newly weaned puppy, even with eye masks. Not opened yet.
These wolf cubs are rare among hunters. As long as they are kept by their side from a young age, they will become more loyal and obedient than dogs when they grow up. In addition, they are wolves and are good hunters. When hunting in autumn, their eyes are still poisonous. It can run fast and is more useful than a Tibetan Mastiff hound. Even if it is not a hunter, it is bought by a nearby squire and raised as a dog. If it sneaks out, it is more majestic than any other dog.
Especially this kind of wolf cub that has not yet been weaned, its eyes have not yet opened, and it has no relationship with the mother wolf at all. Whoever opens the eyes of the wolf cub is its master, and it will not change in this life.
The hunter counted and found that these seven or eight wolf cubs alone could be sold for nearly ten taels of silver. Together with such a large female wolf skin, the base price would be twenty taels of silver. This amount of money would be enough for their family to enjoy themselves in the winter. hot.
Now, Orion is in trouble!
According to the rule of hunters not to dig out the nests of the family, when hunting, when encountering an animal den, at least the cubs should be left behind. They should not take everything back in a swarm, so as not to break the rules of the forest. It also shows that the hunters only hunt to survive and not to kill the family. evil things.
Originally, he just wanted to take the she-wolf skin back, but now that his family had no rice to eat, was cold, and poor, he relaxed the rules in his heart a little. With the she-wolf skin and a litter of cubs, the whole family After half a year's livelihood was secured, he no longer had to run into the mountains and forests.
After making up his mind, the hunter filled his pockets with animal hair and straw from the wolf's den, and put all the wolf cubs in his pockets. At the same time, he also put the body of the female wolf on horseback, packed it up, and prepared to go home.
On the way back, he kept feeling a cold feeling behind him, as if something was staring at him. When he turned back, he found that there was nothing, only the white snow on the ground.
Until evening, when he looked back again, he saw bright green eyes beginning to appear in the dark woods, like fireflies, flickering in and out of the dark environment.
Needless to say, he knew that these must be the eyes of the wolves. Upon noticing this, the Orion Old Zheng's heart sank, it was the wolves coming to seek revenge.
The wild wolf is either easy to fight, or because the wolf pack is very vindictive. The only reason is that he was too greedy. Even if he beat the mother wolf to death, he also took the wolf cubs away. The wolves are the most protective of the calves. He followed him all the way during the day, and only waited until night when his vision was limited to take action.
At this moment, Lao Zheng could only put down the wolf cub and the mother wolf, signaling that he would admit defeat and hope that the wolves would let him go.
By this time, it was already too late. The wolves howled and dispersed. Old Zheng was so frightened that he rode his horse and ran away. In his panic, he had forgotten the route out of the mountain. Unknowingly, he ended up in the barren mountains. The horse's hoof slipped under his feet. , fell directly down the mountain.
How can one walk by the river without getting his shoes wet? The Orion Old Zheng was greedy this time, and finally broke the rules and received retribution in this world. If he really waited for the wolves to come down, he wouldn't even be able to save his whole body. At the moment, he just felt greedy. Eyes and heart were cold.
This fall hurt him badly. When he was unconscious, he saw green wolf eyes, one by one, sticking their heads out from the hillside, gradually climbing down in his direction, gradually surrounded by fangs and green eyes. .
