Druid's Country Retirement

The next day.

The rooster had just finished crowing, and bursts of noise rang out from all over the village.

Today is the day to go into the mountains.

Primitive forest, picking wild fruits.

For city people living in steel and concrete, it has an inexplicable attraction.

It was originally scheduled to gather at 8 o'clock, but just after 7 o'clock, tourists gathered in the small square with backpacks from all directions.

The old hunters also came to the square in advance and dressed up at Fang Wanda's suggestion in order to enhance their image as hunters.

Washed old camouflage uniforms, straps on the legs, a backpack made of fertilizer bags diagonally across the body, old-fashioned kettles and hatchets hanging on the waist, and a forked wooden stick in each hand. Unfortunately, they cannot bring muskets, otherwise there will be more The smell of a hunter in the woods.

Twenty old hunters stood apart, with a temporary wooden board erected in front of them, with the words A, B, C and D written on it.

When the tourists saw the old hunter, they all shouted excitedly and took out their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures.

"Tourists who arrive early, please follow the number plate to find the tour leader!" Jianjun reminded with a loudspeaker.

"I am Team A, where is Team A?"

"I'm on the second team, big brother, I'm on the same team as you."

"Who has seen Bingwu? Where is Bingwu?"

For a time, the small square turned into a noisy and noisy market, with tourists holding numbers and wandering around like headless flies.

Fang Wanda, who was maintaining order, saw the scene becoming chaotic and quickly jumped onto the stage and picked up the microphone.

"Don't make any noise. Now I'm going to call the team leader. This team is going to assemble at the front!"

"Are the first group of tourists here?"

The sound spread throughout the square through the loudspeaker, and someone immediately raised their hands in response.

"Come, come, I'm Jiayi."

"Brother, thank you, I'm from Team A."

"Me too, let's go together!"

Soon, all the tourists belonging to Team A arrived. After counting the numbers, the old hunter led them out of the village. There were many things to pay attention to before entering the mountain.

The second team.

Team A[-].

Team Ding.

Ding San team.

Teams entering the mountain left one after another. When the number of tourists in the small square gradually dwindled, the villagers who participated in the escort, Brother Dalang, and Hou San came to the stage.

"Wanda, where is Uncle Hongbing?" Lao Gen had a sickle stuck in his waist, stretched his neck and scanned around, but did not see the shadow of Li Hongbing.

"Yeah, why haven't you come yet? I guess I worked overtime last night!" Li Sanqing, Wang Dalai and the others snickered, but their joke did not arouse the laughter of other villagers, but instead earned them disgusted eyes.

The unlucky foursome even rolled up their sleeves, ready to show these guys a bit of color.

Let them remember for a long time, not everyone can make jokes.

at this time.

Bursts of dog barking came from the direction of the village road.

Followed by.

The big flower dog took the lead and rushed out, followed by Erhei, Sanhui, Xiaobai, and then a group of dogs led by an ear, mixed with some local dogs, and followed a group of budgies above the dog group. .

This battle stunned the villagers.

The dogs ran into the square and sat on the ground in an orderly queue, looking straight ahead, like soldiers undergoing review, without making any noise or making any fuss.

"The dog has become a sperm!"

Uncle Lao Liang's eyes widened, Uncle Yandian even forgot about the pot in his mouth, and other villagers opened their mouths, knowing that Uncle Hongbing was very good at raising animals.

Tigers, bears, parrots, and wild boars were as obedient as humans in his hands.

It is possible to teach dozens of dogs into the same mold, but most people cannot do it.

"Dahua, where is Brother Hongbing?" Hongqi asked closer.

Woohoo!

Dahua looked towards the village road.

Li Hongbing, wearing a straw hat and bending down with his hands behind his back, walked out as leisurely as an old farmer, looking at everyone with a smile.

"Hey, you guys got up so early, it's not even 8 o'clock yet?"

Fang Wanda smiled bitterly, "It's not early, the tourists have all divided into groups and left the village."

What!
I deliberately went out half an hour early. Those tourists were more active and probably went crazy in the city!

Li Hongbing stopped talking and clapped his hands, "Then let's quickly divide into teams. How many teams are there in total?"

"Twenty people, basically a team of 45 people, Dakui and Uncle Chang Shan's team arranged 10 more people." Jianjun, who was in charge of registration, quickly introduced.

Li Hongbing made a mental calculation, nodded and said.

"Then arrange a team with one villager, two dogs, and 10 budgies. Let's start with the red flag."

Hongqi walked out of the crowd, Li Hongbing looked at the dogs,

"One Ear, take a brother with him to protect the tourists on the road and prevent them from being in danger."

Wang Wang!

One ear turned and barked at the group of dogs, and a Doberman came out.

"Hongqi, you go to the Dakui team." Li Hongbingan lined up the team to follow Hongqi and waved to the budgies squatting on the persimmon tree. Ten parrots flew out of the parrot group and landed on the dog's back. "If there is danger, they will Remind you, if something happens that cannot be solved, tell them and they will find me."

Oh!
Looking at the two big dogs and the budgerigar, Hongqi asked carefully, "Brother, can I take Li Hongniu with me?"

Li Hongniu!
It was the Bull Terrier that Li Hongqi deceived into bringing home from the dog kennel, and almost sent Fu Sheng to meet his ancestors.

"Whatever you want, be careful on the road." Li Hongbing waved his hand angrily, then looked at the scholar, "Same for you, two dogs, ten parrots."

"Brother, I want to lead Luo to win the battle." When the scholar saw Hongqi and brought the dog with him, he was naturally thinking about the big baby at home.

Li Hongbing saw the bright-eyed Jianjun and Shengli, as well as the villagers who had dogs at home, and simply waved his hand. Anyway, there were fighting dogs in the team, and ordinary local dogs really couldn't make trouble.

"If you have a dog at home, bring it with you if you want, but don't bring one that bites and barks!"

One after another, villagers led dogs and parrots out of the small square.

At the end of the division, only Brother Dalang, Hou San and the wolf dogs were left in the square. Li Hongbing shrugged.

"Let's go, let's go into the mountains alone!"

Brother Dalang was already scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously, "We've been waiting for a long time, hurry up, don't let the good ones in front of you wipe out all the good things!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait and strode outside the village with Hou San.

Li Hongbing shook his head helplessly. If he hadn't promised Brother Dalang, he wouldn't have gone to the mountains today. Myolie was making pickles at home, and she was busy alone.

Woohoo!Dahua and the wolfhounds stood up and whined excitedly.

"Let's go!"

Under the leadership of the hunter guide, one team after another headed into the mountain in several directions. Caogou Village seemed to be empty, and the usually noisy village became silent.

Li Hongbing, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, led Dalang Ge and Hou San on the mountain road. The originally thatched mountain road felt like a straight road after being stepped on.

Brother Dalang jumped angrily.

I obviously went into the mountains to pick fruits, but I had no sense of experience. I finally found a fruit tree on the roadside. Not to mention the wild fruits, even the leaves were picked up by the group of tourists in front of me. They were more bandits than bandits.

"Brother, think of a way. If you follow the team and eat ashes, you won't even get a hair. How about we change the way?"

Li Hongbing thought about it and felt that if he continued, he would gain nothing.

“There is a road that I walked on when I was a kid, but I don’t know if it’s still there.”

Brother Dalang looked overjoyed, "Then leave quickly, if that doesn't work, let's come back for something more exciting."

"It's absolutely exciting. I'll take you to Rentou Mountain. There are more wild fruits and medicinal materials there, and you can also catch a lot of mountain crabs!"

Immediately, Li Hongbing led two people and four wolf dogs away from the mountain road and walked into the dense woods.

the other side.

The old hunter led the group of tourists into the mountains and along the winding mountain roads. The trees on both sides had been put on colorful new clothes.

Tourists in the city are full of curiosity about the forest. At the beginning, they still remember the words of the hunter guide. But as time goes by, the neat team becomes sparse, just like herding ducks, if you are not careful, you will fall behind.

The old hunter and the villagers were worried about this, and stopped from time to time. Just as they retrieved the stragglers from behind, the tourists in front took their time and ran to other places. Even the guard dogs were tired and shuttled in the team.

The scenery along the way is beautiful, but climbing is very tiring, especially on the twists and turns of the Yangchang Mountain Trail.

After the excitement passed, all that was left was to climb mountains and wade in rivers. The team led by Da Kui walked for more than an hour and only climbed one mountain. The tourists were tired and complained. Some people even sat on the roadside and took off their shoes.

Helpless, Hongqi shouted loudly with a hoarse throat.

"Everyone, stop running around. There is a wild persimmon forest ahead. Let's take a rest and pick wild persimmons to eat. It's sweet and delicious."

Hongqi is usually responsible for the security of the village, and he hangs out in the village when he has nothing to do. The tourists are familiar with him, so they are not polite and start complaining directly.

"Red flag! Don't fool us. We just said there are wild peaches halfway up the mountain. Where are the peaches?"

"It's just that you don't have a word of truth in your mouth."

"It's useless for me to introduce my niece to you, you brat is so bad!"

"Hongqi, tell the truth to your brother. How far do you have to go? If you really can't do it, I'll go back the way I came. It's okay if you don't have to pay the registration fee!"

Facing the torrent of accusations, Hongqi humbly smiled and said with cupped hands.

"Really, look at the big pine tree in front of you. Under the tree is a wild persimmon forest. I used to go there often when I was a child. In autumn, half of the hillside is covered with red persimmons. You don't need to eat them, just sip them with your mouth. It's so sweet. In the pit of my heart!”

When tourists listen to the description of the red flag, they can't help but think about it, as if they had just eaten a wild persimmon.

Looking up at the big pine tree pointed by the red flag, it seemed that it was not far from me.

He immediately stood up energetically.

"Let's go and eat some persimmons!"

"It looks like the distance is quite close. Let's go on the road. I can hold on a little longer."

"Hongqi, I believe you for the last time, don't lie to me!"

The tourists carried their bags and walked towards the big tree. Behind them, Hong Qi had a wry smile on his face. These city people were really in poor health. They were exhausted after just walking on the mountain road for a while. They were also addicted to fun. Haven’t they heard that Wang? There is a saying that a mountain can run fast and a horse can die.

It would take at least half an hour to walk to the big pine tree.

Similarly, other teams entering the mountain also encountered this problem.

In the eyes of old hunters and villagers, it is good to have a flat road in the mountains. Any villager can walk dozens of miles on this kind of road.

But in the eyes of tourists, the flat road is the kind of flat and straight road, and it is really difficult to walk on the twists and turns of the mountain road.

Digging into the grass, hanging on branches, one hilltop after another, one ridge after another, the wild boar can't stand it!
The old hunter and the guarding villagers led the way, shaking their heads all the way.

No wonder Village Chief Li paid such a high price. For these old men who get tired after walking around for a while, whoever takes care of them gets a headache and can’t complain. It’s more tiring than serving the mother-in-law at home.

Li Hongbing took Dalang Ge and Hou San up the stream through the woods, carefully moving on the moss-covered stones, and came to a cliff with a height difference of more than ten meters and an angle of nearly 90 degrees.

"Brother, you don't know how to climb a mountain! How do you go up?" Brother Dalang looked up at the cliff. There was no way to go, only vines and vines.

Li Hongbing grabbed a tree vine hanging in front of him and pulled hard. It was quite firm.

"Great, you can climb up by dragging the vines!"

Pull this thing! !
Brother Dalang looked confused. Why was the road condition different from the last time he went into the mountains to rescue people?

"Doctor, I'm afraid of heights, how about I go back first!" Hou San looked at the 90-degree vertical cliff, his legs trembled, and he swallowed and whispered.

"Go back, okay! Then you can go on your own!" Li Hongbing was not used to them. He didn't find it exciting enough to take the main road at first, but now he was afraid of switching to a more exciting route.

play me too!
After saying that, he squatted down and waved to the sentry wolf dogs, "Dahua, enter the bamboo basket!"

Woohoo!

Da Hua Dian Dian jumped into the basket on his back, and Li Hongbing stood up, grabbed the tree vines with both hands, and with the help of the tree vines, stepped on the convex points of the cliff and climbed up the cliff step by step.

Putting down the big flower, Li Hongbing slid along the tree vines to the bottom of the cliff. Repeatedly, he sent the remaining three wolf dogs to the cliff.

Hou San turned around and looked at the silent woods. Everything looked the same in all directions. Without Li Hongbing to lead the way, the chance of getting out alive on his own would be lower than winning the lottery.

How to do?
He looked at Brother Dalang with frustration.

And Brother Dalang also looked confused.

"Have you thought about it? Can you go up?" Li Hongbing asked jokingly.

"Be cruel, I'll do it!" Brother Dalang gritted his teeth angrily, grabbed a vine in front of him, and glared at Li Hongbing, "Come here and help!"

Hey!

Li Hongbing walked forward with a smile, dragging Brother Dalang beside him, and climbed to the top of the cliff little by little.

Hou San was afraid of heights and it was difficult to climb on his own. Li Hongbing made a lasso out of tree vines, tied his waist and worked together with Brother Dalang to pull him up.

I climbed to the top of the cliff and walked for more than half an hour. In front of me was a ridge like a knife peak, only a few tens of centimeters wide, so I had to crawl up it.

Hou San looked around and saw the cliff dozens of meters high. His head was dizzy for a moment, his face was pale and bloodless, his heart was beating in a panic, his legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground.

"Doctor, help, I can't feel my legs!!"

Li Hongbing stepped forward, reached out and pressed Hou San's Laogong and Zhongchong points for a few minutes, and said comfortingly.

"This is a psychological effect. You can reduce your reaction by gradually adapting to your fear. Trust me, try more."

After acupoint massage and listening to what Li Hongbing said, Hou San's fear and nervousness gradually eased. He smiled bitterly and said, "This is a family genetic disease. I am not afraid of jokes. I have grown so big that the cabin has to be completely closed when flying."

"Don't worry, I promise to cure your disease today!" Li Hongbing patted Hou San on the shoulder, picked up a rattan from the ground, wrapped one end around his own waist, and the other around Hou San's waist, "You don't have to believe it. Brother Dalang, you should trust me, I will guarantee that nothing will happen to you."

Brother Da Lang rolled his eyes helplessly.

Who do I provoke?
Does this have anything to do with me? ?
