After Mo Lin and Xie Zhiyu found nothing happening around them, they took a few people, found a vacant lot, and temporarily settled down there.
Because I didn't know the road conditions and was not clear about what was happening in the current dynasty, and it was already dark, I planned to make other arrangements after dawn tomorrow.
Since they decided to stay here temporarily, everyone put down their backpacks and found some dead branches around to start a fire.
Not long after, Li Dali and Xue Shijin came back and saw that the fire had already started, and several people were gathered around the fire.
Seeing the two people coming back, they greeted each other.
The first thing the two did when they came back was to report.
Li Dali: "There's a village not far down the mountain. It's about a fifteen-minute walk, not very far. There are about forty households in the village, but the exact number of people is unknown."
Mo Lin stared at the fire with dark eyes and nodded. "Early tomorrow morning, Li Dali, you and Xue Shijin will go to the village at the foot of the mountain to gather information. It would be best if we could find out the location of any large town nearby. Then we can rush to that town and make a decision."
Everyone nodded silently: "Okay."
Maybe I didn't expect to stay in the mountains on the first night, so I didn't bring any insect repellent when I came.
Mo Lin arranged four people to take turns to keep watch.
Mo Lin and Xue Shijin guarded the second half of the night, while Li Dali and Xie Zhiyu guarded the first half.
Because the conditions were too simple, Mu Yue was extremely uncomfortable.
Mosquitoes were flying around, and there was a buzzing sound everywhere, which was very frustrating.
In this situation, Wen Qingyu sat next to Mu Yue, holding a fan, and kept fanning Mu Yue in an attempt to drive away mosquitoes.
Seeing this, Mo Lin called out to Xie Zhiyu. The two of them found some herbs around and placed them in a row around the area. The situation then improved.
[Host, why don't you use your spiritual power?] The system was puzzled as to why Mu Yue didn't use her spiritual power to drive away those mosquitoes, but instead allowed them to make trouble and harass her.
"Hmm??? Is that okay?"
[Of course, the host can try it. ]
Okay.
Mu Yue doesn't usually use spiritual power, so she doesn't know about this.
Seeing that the system said so, Mu Yue silently practiced his skills.
After a week, hey, it’s true.
No more bugs.
So, Mu Yue secretly told the news to several men.
As for the others, since they haven't practiced cultivation, there's nothing they can do but use herbs honestly.
Mu Yue did not tell Li Dali and Xue Shijin because she was not sure whether other people knew about it. So Mu Yue did not interrupt and only told Mo Lin about it.
Let Mo Lin decide for himself.
After knowing that practicing can prevent mosquitoes, Mo Lin told the two of them, but he avoided other people.
But Li Dali and Xie Zhiyu were on guard at night, so they would definitely know about this matter by then. Moreover, Xie Zhiyu was also among the candidates for the next spiritual root test, so the matter would be exposed.
In this way, among the eleven people in the group, eight of them practiced quietly without being bothered by mosquitoes, while the other three were bitten from time to time, and many red bumps appeared on their exposed skin.
At night, the forest is silent except for the sound of the wind.
Occasionally, the sounds of insects and birds can be heard.
A rare moment of relaxation.
The night passed quickly, and when the sky brightened, Mo Lin saw that the fire was about to go out, so he found some firewood nearby and lit it.
Then he took out the kettle, boiled some water, and threw the compressed biscuits in.
Then break off two branches from the nearby trees, peel them clean and use them as chopsticks.
By the time everyone got up, the meal was ready.
It was the first time for Mu Yue to eat like this. At first glance, well, she didn’t want to eat it.
There is a kind of beauty that does not care about people's life or death.
Mu Yue decisively refused and walked aside to drink some water and eat some snacks.
It’s a good thing that Mu Yue brought some snacks when she came, otherwise there would be nothing to eat.
Some food was also brought with them, but it was to be used as seeds for exchange and not to be eaten.
Seeing this, Mo Lin had no choice but to whisper a few words to Xie Zhiyu, then turned and went deep into the forest.
When he came back, Mo Lin was covered with prey.
Mu Yue walked closer and saw five rabbits and three pheasants.
Wow, Mu Yue has never eaten pheasant before.
Moreover, in the previous two worlds, pheasants were classified as national second-class protected animals and were not allowed to be eaten.
But in this world, there is no such trouble.
Seeing that Mu Yue was happy, there was also tenderness in Mu Yue's eyes.
Mu Chen walked forward silently and processed the ingredients. Wen Qingyu took over and grilled them all.
Early in the morning, I ate some barbecued meat, which was a bit oily.
Luo Ci went to the mountains with his cousin and Xie Zhiyu, hoping to find some fruit.
When Wen Qingyu finished cooking, a few people just came back.
Luckily I found a bag of fruit.
So, the original biscuit breakfast was replaced by roasted rabbit and roasted pheasant.
However, the porridge made from compressed biscuits was not wasted and was divided up by everyone except Mu Yue.
Not long after the meal, several people split up into several groups.
Xue Shijin and his companions went down the mountain to investigate.
Mu Yue and a few others were wandering around in the mountains, looking for medicinal herbs and such.
We agreed to meet in an hour.
An hour later, everyone was back to where they started.
After investigation, we found that this place belongs to Juzi Town. If we start from here, it will take more than 2 hours by ox cart to reach the city gate.
This era, similar to the Ming Dynasty in a parallel universe, was also a prosperous era.
Xue Shijin made an appointment with the village chief at the foot of the mountain to send a few people to the town later.
When we came here, we had already decided what we wanted to exchange.
The most important thing is the martial arts secrets, but they are not necessarily easy to obtain, so you can only do your best.
Another type is medical books and various cultural relics.
Clothing, jewelry, porcelain and other things.
And all kinds of civilized things.
The rest is up to a few people to do.
These are the tasks of Mo Lin and his group, and have nothing to do with Mu Yue and his group, so what Mu Yue and his group exchange for is entirely up to them.
With the help of the village chief at the foot of the mountain, the group successfully boarded the ox cart and arrived in the town.
Before parting, Mo Lin gave the village chief some silver.
Mu Yue thought about it, called people, and negotiated with the village chief. They would come back the next night. If there were any dry goods that needed to be sold in the village, they could collect some and come to pick them up then.
The village chief was also shocked by this generous gesture. After confirming again and again that it was true, he left happily.
Mu Yue wanted to eat, and Mo Lin didn't stop her, so he just waited on the side.
There is no requirement for Mu Yue to carry a weight of 20kg, but what Mu Yue carries can only be used on herself, so this bug cannot be stuck.
After arriving in the town, the group found an inn and then went their separate ways.
Everyone left with their own mission.
Mu Yue, accompanied by Muchen, strolled around happily.
