Chapter 22 Want to be rich.

Chen Jiu was not worried about finding prey at all.

Of course, hunting is not an easy thing, but that is for the indigenous people.

——

No, hunting is not easy even for players.

Because they do not have the authority of the research institute, they cannot access Shuanghe's life monitoring system.

But, I have the authority!

Under F-level authority, all life in this forest of caves is like a bright treasure box. As long as there is time, you can go directly to harvest it.

There are even many large animals that players have not seen yet - musk ox, velvet deer, brown bear and so on.

The meat they provide is enough for players and victims to survive the ice wave.

You know, in the real world, when guns and hunting were not allowed, a good hunter in Changbai Mountain could catch enough prey in one winter to last for more than half a year.

Although the player's hunting level is not that high, the advantage is that he is not afraid of death or injury, and he is tireless.

Danger of hunting?

In the eyes of players, does this kind of thing really exist?

Ten days.

According to Chen Jiu's estimate, it would only take ten days for this sweep operation organized by four players to be over.

And when that time comes, you will have enough resources in your hands to trade them to players, who will then use them to trade with the victims.

The nights in Chichi are long, but the day will always come.

This day is the day when Xiahe Village opens the Ten Thousand Cave Forest.

Or to put it more bluntly, this day is the day when the villagers who won the lottery will go up the mountain.

The sun had just risen, and the doors of each house were already opened. A sparse flow of people came out of the village and gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village.

At this time, their eyes were full of confusion, because even though they were old, they had never experienced such a thing.

After all, the last ice wave was more than 20 years ago, and the scale of that ice wave was not large, and the power of the divine furnace did not weaken, so everyone could barely survive.

But it's different now.

The heat of the divine furnace was not as good as before, and it was no longer possible for crops to grow during the ice tide. They had no way out.

The only hope can only be in the front, in the forest full of dangers.

But even if we go there, how can we survive?

They don't even have a bow and arrow in their hands!

Hunting, fucking hunting!

Among the crowd, Lin Wen had a mocking smile on his face and looked back towards the village.

In the direction of his own home, the thick wooden door was not closed.

He had a vague hallucination, as if there was a pair of eyes appearing in the crack of the door, also looking in the direction where he was.

He looked at the crack in the door longingly, and many memories flashed through his mind.

He has had children.

It was the eighth year after the ice wave passed when I gave birth to my first son. At that time, the climate on the Red Earth was unprecedentedly good, crops were harvested every year, and there were so many prey in the woods that they were overrun.

Sometimes even I, who don't know how to hunt at all, can just go up the mountain with a javelin and kill several snow velvet rabbits.

Life was really good at that time. My family could eat meat every few days, my wife had enough milk, and she fed my eldest son until he was as fat as a piglet.

I even feel that the hard days on Red Earth are coming to an end. If I try harder in the future, I will carve out more land, grow more buckwheat, and fill up the granary. Even if the red tide comes, there is nothing I can do about it.

My wife thought the same thing, so in the next three years, she gave birth to two children one after another.

At that time, the village chief said that there would be at least ten years until the next red tide, so he was not worried at all.

——

After all, ten years were enough for him to stock up on enough food to survive the red tide and the difficult year after it.

As long as the red tide passes, crops in the fields will grow rapidly and prey in the wild will reproduce on a large scale. It will not be too difficult to survive.

Unfortunately, what the village chief said was wrong.

Less than three months after giving birth to her last child, red tide came unexpectedly.

No one can prepare for it.

Not just food, they lacked everything.

There was a lack of water, a lack of fuel, a lack of cellars deep enough to hide from the sun, and even a lack of breathable air.

Fires spread all over the mountains and fields, and every breath was on the verge of suffocation.

The red tide lasted for four months, but his wife died in the fourth month.

He still remembered that woman's face, which was supposed to be a very beautiful face.

On ordinary days, there is always a smile on that face.

Even if she made a mistake, she never scolded herself like other women.

He still remembered that one time, he went hunting in the mountains with the hunters in the village. Because of his lack of experience, he was chased by a black bear and rolled down the snow slope. The only cotton coat she had finally knitted was completely torn to pieces.

But after returning home, she didn't blame herself at all.

Later that whole winter, I wore her cotton clothes when I went out, while she wore thin Gebu clothes.

She was such a gentle woman, but her face before she died was extremely ferocious.

Her body was almost dried out by the high temperature, but she was unwilling to drink the last pot of water.

That's what she wants to leave to her children.

The child was not saved either.

They all followed their mothers.

And now, after eleven years of surviving, he is finally going to reunite with them.

Lin Wen let out a deep breath and walked out of the crowd with firm steps, heading towards the forest that everyone feared.

Some people followed his footsteps, while others were still hesitating.

He found it a little funny.

Now that we’ve come this far, what else is there to be afraid of?

After all, the fate of people like myself was actually determined before the lottery started.

Entering Ten Thousand Caves Forest is just to make those living people live a better life.

——

Just like my wife, when she knew she couldn't make it through, she desperately wanted to crawl out of the cellar and let herself die outside.

It's as if she wouldn't blame herself if she died outside.

Just thinking like this, Lin Wen's steps were surprisingly brisk.

He stepped through the snow and climbed to the heights of the mountain step by step.

What will you encounter?

A tiger looking for food? A crazy wild boar? Or those bandits hiding in the Ten Thousand Cave Forest that the villagers mentioned before?

Well, no matter what happens, the ending is always the same——

However, he never expected that he would meet an acquaintance.

That's Lin Shuang.

A girl who luckily survived the red tide and has grown up.

She should be the only woman in Xiahe Village who often violates the ban and sneaks into Wanku Forest to collect things. Logically speaking, her appearance here is not a big surprise.

However, what she was doing now made Lin Wen a little confused.

Even though I was determined to die, I still couldn't help but want to see what the woman standing on a high place shouting with a wooden stick and an iron plate in her hand was saying.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace, and when he got within a hundred meters, he finally heard clearly what Lin Shuang was shouting.

I saw her banging the iron plate to make a loud noise, and shouting to the foot of the mountain:

“Moving bricks and cutting down trees in exchange for food!”

"If you want to be rich, cut down a tree first. One tree will be exchanged for a pound of dried meat. First come, first served. If you want to buy, hurry up!"
