"Roar!--Roar!"

The wind was howling, the yellow sand was everywhere, and the rough sand was hitting the face, which hurt like a knife. In addition, the weather was cold and the skin was dry, and bloody holes soon appeared!

There is also the sound of a strong wind blowing through the sand dunes, like a giant beast roaring, making the world look like it!

Even so, the team of the White Sand Castle was still trekking towards Hongshi Mountain in the strong wind and cold. After about an hour of traveling, they finally arrived near the foot of the mountain!

Blocked by hills and woods, the wind and sand here are much smaller and the air is more humid!

Xue Yu asked everyone to sit down and rest, recover their strength, and he carefully observed the terrain!

Hongshi Mountain stretches for dozens of miles east and west, and is magnificent. The mountains are steep and covered with red stones. It is very beautiful under the sunlight. Looking from a distance, it looks like a mountain of gold!

There is a long canyon in the middle, dividing the mountains into two parts: east and west!

The east is lush with trees and the mountains are relatively slow. There is a small path leading to the mountains. It was trampled by woodcutters and herbs in the past. Although no one has walked for many years and is covered with thorns and weeds, it can still be identified!

The mountains in the west are steep, with sparse trees and no roads to pass!

By comparing the two, it is easier to cut trees in the east!

However, Xue Yu thought a little, but ordered the team to walk westward and issued several orders at the same time:

"Everyone listened, and after a while, he arrived at the foot of the mountain. Grandpa Tartar took six people and left the guard vehicles, and the others went up the mountain to cut down trees!

No one is allowed to make noise when walking, and he should raise his legs high and gently drop his feet to avoid the gravel in the mountains and try not to make noise!

Also, no one is allowed to act alone. Five people are in a group and follow each other. Once something happens, shout to the police immediately!

Silently, you have a golden bell cover and an iron cloth shirt. When you go up the mountain, you will be responsible for opening the road in front and I will follow you. If an accident happens, others will run down the mountain immediately, and you and I will be responsible for cutting the back!"

...

Xue Yu doesn’t believe the saying of monsters and hungry ghosts!

It is somewhat possible to say that there are some kind of beast lurking in the mountains, and beasts often like to live in places with high mountains and dense forests and water sources!

Therefore, although the east is densely covered with trees and there are trails to walk on, it is not as safe as the west!

Regarding such a decision, the old military households looked at each other and nodded slightly!

At the beginning, they thought Xue Yu was a young man with passion and ignorant fearlessness, so they had to break into Red Stone Mountain and act as the leader!

But if you really want to enter the mountain, you have to be confused. At that time, you have to rely on these old guys to take the helm!

Unexpectedly, this young man not only has courage, but also has enough wisdom, a calm and calm mind, and his command is quite organized, which makes people convinced!

Judging from this, let alone a small team of dozens of people, even a large army of thousands or tens of thousands of people can command flexibly like an arm and finger!

Such a person can be described in four words: born handsome!

A talent can be cultivated after all!

He is handsome, only natural!

In this way, the team turned west and took another meal time to finally arrive at the foot of the mountain. Grandpa Tartars took six people to stay behind, and the rest began to climb the mountain and soon found a forest!

When cutting trees up the mountain, it is not just a random thing. As a fuel for heating, pine trees with high oiliness and cypress trees are the first choice. And if you have to die, don’t live trees!

Live trees are tough and it takes too much effort to cut them down. The moisture in the stalks is large, making it difficult to ignite them. Even if they are burned, they will emit black smoke, which will make the human brain hurt!

On the contrary, dead trees are dry and brittle, easy to cut down. When they are fired and do not emit black smoke, they are the best materials for indoor heating!

Everyone searched around and soon found a pine tree, about eight or nine feet tall, and the thickness of each person hugged each other. The tree body had completely died, and the needles had fallen clean, leaving only bare branches!

"It's it, do it!"

"Okay!"

With Xue Yu's order, everyone started to act. Half of them held weapons and formed a cordon to monitor the surrounding situation, while the other half began to cut down trees.

The monkey carried a roll of rope and quickly climbed onto the tree, tied the trunk firmly, and then slipped out. Several old military households stepped forward and grabbed the rope tightly. Hu Dachui and another strong man sat cross-legged under the roots of the tree. Using a sharp saw, he quickly sawed the tree pole back and forth, making a crisp sound!

Tie the tree trunk with a rope to prevent the trees from collapsing and hitting the people around them after being sawed off!

In addition, letting the trees fall slowly can avoid making too loud noises, which will alarm the terrifying existence in the Red Stone Mountain!

Hu Dahui and his two worked very well, and soon sawed the pine tree down. Then everyone rushed forward, repaired the branches with an axe, cut the trunk into several sections, carried it to the foot of the mountain, and loaded it onto the ox cart!

A big pine tree filled a ox cart, then returned to the mountain, continued to search for the dead tree, and soon found another one!

...

At the same time, the people in charge of the alert were not idle and began to collect nearby mountain goods!

It is best to collect mountain goods in August and September. At that time, the autumn wind is bleak, and the golden colors are all over the mountains, wild vegetables, wild fruits, mushrooms, medicinal materials... whatever you want!

It is early winter now, and the best collection period has passed, but if you look carefully, you can still find a lot of good things!

Under the tree, there are falling pine nuts!

On the treetops, there are half-dried wild fruits!

In the warm and humid tree holes or under the grass nest, you can also find fat mushrooms and fungus!

The white sand castle is now firewood and food is short of food. Now, collecting more mountain goods can save many lives by returning. Therefore, everyone is working very hard and quickly collecting several bags!

Among them, Xue Yu collected the most, not only fat mushrooms and fungus, but also a lot of dried mushrooms and fungus under the roots of the tree!

During the whole process, no changes occurred around him. Just a hare, two pheasants, and a half-large wild boar were all taken down by everyone.

In the afternoon, the three ox carts were filled with cut down trees, and the mountain goods also collected more than a dozen bags, but Hongshi Mountain was closed for many years and there were too many good things inside!

The military households wanted to go deeper and collect more mountain goods, but were stopped by Xue Yu.

"Brother Xue, let's walk inside, there are still many good things!"

"Yes, there is a large pine forest in front of it, and the pine nuts are all over the ground. If you pick it up, it will be enough for everyone to eat for a while!"

...

"No, follow my orders and go down the mountain immediately. Who dares not obey the orders? Don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

This time, entering Hongshi Mountain is just a test of sexual behavior. Before the situation is clear, it is not advisable to go too far to avoid danger!

In addition, people's greed is endless. There are good things in front and better things in front. If you are so reluctant to leave, it will definitely waste time. Once it is dark, it will be troublesome.

Don’t forget that many large beasts come out to hunt at night!

The old military households wanted to argue a few more words, but when they met Xue Yu's cold gaze, they swallowed the words back into their stomachs and turned around and went down the mountain obediently.

This little guy is not old, but he has a temperament of being arrogant without anger, which makes people involuntarily obey his orders!

In this way, the group began to go down the mountain. Grandpa Baihu was clearing the way in front, and Xue Yu was silently responsible for breaking the back, moving forward carefully, and did not dare to leave the weapon for a moment.

"Dada!--Crazy!"

There are no roads in the mountains, and there are thorns and countless gravels. Everyone is carrying heavy wood and mountain goods, so they can only walk carefully!

While Zhi was walking, Dahei was unable to settle down and suddenly fell down the hillside. Fortunately, Wu Yan quickly grabbed him with a quick hand and grabbed him.

"Big Hei, how about it?"

"Boss, I'm fine, I'm just falling down!"

"It's fine. Everyone should be careful and go down the mountain slowly!"

Xue Yu hurriedly stepped forward to check and confirmed that Dahei was not seriously injured. He just scratched his skin a little, and then he felt relieved!

Nazhi found something interesting while his eyes turned.

It turned out that when Dahei fell, a large area of ​​sand fell, and a few dark red stones were exposed underneath, with dark spots on it. From the surface, these stones were no different from the red rocks all over the mountains, and even a little ugly!

Xue Yu picked it up, observed it carefully, and looked at the surrounding terrain. He seemed to have found something. His handsome little face showed a complex expression of surprise and joy!

"Boss, is there something wrong with it?"

"Nothing, I just smelled a little!"

"Taste, what's the taste?"

"Haha, a sweet smell!"

Xue Yu didn't explain too much, but just picked up a small piece of stone, put it in his arms, and patted it a few times, as if he had picked up a treasure.
Chapter completed!
