Chapter 125 Murong Yi Arrives at Yunwu Village
There were endless mountain products to be picked in the fairyland-like forest, and soon a dozen people had filled more than twenty backpacks.
Leader Qin and his companions looked at the fresh mountain products in the backpacks and couldn't stop smiling.
"Murong Li, let's send a batch down first and then come up to pick them." Su Yue said when she saw that the backpack was full.
"Let's catch some game before we go down."
Murong Li planned to use a rope to lower the game directly down the mountain, believing that there must be someone guarding it at the foot of the mountain.
He also shared his ideas with everyone.
Leader Qin said, "Fourth Master, this idea is good. We can climb down the cliff with our backpacks on our backs, and then we can just use the rope to lower the prey down."
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "That hemp rope definitely won't work. It'll break after just a few rubs against the rock. I'd better use mine."
Murong Li knew she was talking about using a steel wire rope, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then Yue'er will stay here and watch over these, we'll be back soon."
Su Yue nodded. After they all left, she stayed on the ground, using her mental power to pay attention to their safety while also using her mental power to collect things.
On the surface, she only picked a basket, but in fact, there was no idea how much there was in the space. It had only been a day or two, and many mushrooms and ripe wild fruits had grown in the forest.
Sixty to seventy percent of the mushrooms collected in the mountains this time were mushrooms, mainly because there were so many of them and they were so fresh.
People can eat it directly.
It is delicious if stewed with game.
However, the next batch will still be some things that are easy to store, such as root vegetables like yam, which can be stored in winter without worrying about spoiling, while mushrooms will rot in two or three days.
The temperature on this mountain is moderate, and the mushrooms you pick are just like they were just picked. It won’t be a problem to keep them for ten days or half a month.
It’s not possible at the foot of the mountain, and there is heavy snow in winter, so many things cannot be kept for long.
Taking this opportunity, Su Yue took out all the steel ropes in the space, found a few big trees, and tied them tightly.
When Murong Li and his companions came back, they were all covered with wild rabbits, and carrying wild boars and musk deer on their shoulders. They were all in high spirits.
They gained a lot on this trip, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile, no, it was a smile of greed.
When Su Yue saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched and she looked speechless. They had never been without meat, so were they really so greedy?
"You've worked hard, huh? I'll make you a delicious meal as a reward when I get home."
"Okay, okay."
The eleven people responded with a smile. They had been eating dry food these days, and they were almost eating food. They hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, and they were already ravenous after seeing these.
The chicken stewed with mushrooms, the rabbit stewed with mushrooms, and the wild boar stewed with cabbage, just thinking about the taste, the eleven people wanted to cook with local ingredients, but when they thought of the many people waiting for these things to save their lives at the foot of the mountain, they gave up thinking about it for the time being and decided to eat as much as they could when they got back.
Seeing so many preys, Su Yue's original method no longer worked. She collected the wire ropes and connected them all. Thirteen people worked together to tie the preys to the wire ropes and prepared to drop them directly down the mountain.
They tied up their prey like gourd strings, and all they needed was a single steel wire rope to tie up all the prey.
All ten ropes were connected together. After Su Yue checked to make sure there was no problem, she asked Murong Li to fix one end of the wire rope on a big tree. Then a dozen people held the wire rope and slowly lowered it.
Another person was sent down along the wire rope to clear the blocked area.
Fortunately, the place they chose had few trees and basically no obstacles.
Just as Su Yue and the others were lowering the rope on the mountain, a group of people from the foot of the mountain entered the village.
This group of people was Murong Yi. They should have arrived long ago. When they arrived in Yunwu County, Murong Yi learned a lot about the situation from County Magistrate Huang before rushing over.
When I entered the village, I happened to see a large group of villagers gathered at the foot of the mountain. The villagers kept looking up at the top of the mountain. Some looked anxious, and some were talking.
Murong Yi wondered why they were looking at the cliff.
Murong Yi asked fifty elite soldiers to find a secluded place outside the village to rest first. The villagers had never seen elite soldiers before and were afraid of causing trouble, so he only brought the guards from Prince Yi's Mansion and Su He into the village.
When they got off the carriage not far from the crowd, they stood behind the crowd and listened.
"It's been so many days, why is there still no movement? Could they have been eaten by wild animals in the mountains?" someone said with great concern.
"Why rush? They've only been up there for a few days and still need to collect things. How can they come down so soon? Just wait."
"How can I say I'm not in a hurry? My stomach is waiting."
"Then there's no point in worrying. Why don't you go up the mountain and pick it yourself?"
"I have that ability, do you need me to tell you..."
…
Listening to the villagers chattering, Murong Yi roughly understood that someone was climbing to the top of the mountain to pick something, and they were waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Murong Yi then looked up at the top of the mountain, but he could not see the top of the mountain at all. The top of the mountain was hidden in the clouds.
Look at that mountain, it’s so high and steep, you can’t climb up without some skills.
The slope is not exactly 90 degrees vertical, but at least 70 degrees, and there are bare rocks in many places.
Murong Yi was wondering what kind of person could go up there. Could Murong Li do it?
Is he the one who went up?
Considering that he has kung fu skills, it should be him, right?
Only then did Murong Yi notice that there were quite a few people halfway up the mountain, and the shadows were everywhere.
At this time, the villagers waiting halfway up the mountain saw something slowly coming down the mountain. They looked up and saw a lot of prey tied to a rope, slowly coming down the mountain.
"Here it comes, prey is coming..."
A villager suddenly shouted excitedly.
When the people at the foot of the mountain heard their shouts, they also waved excitedly, and some immediately climbed up the mountain.
"Hurry up and help, don't let anything get in the way."
When Village Chief Niu saw so many prey coming down, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He wiped his eyes and directed the villagers to help.
The villagers spontaneously climbed up a little and quickly kicked away some obstacles, allowing the rope to flow smoothly down the mountain.
When everyone could touch the prey on the rope, the village chief shouted, "Quickly untie the thing on the rope."
Judging from the looks of it, it was clearly Murong Li and his men who lowered the prey manually. Once the prey was released, the burden on them who were holding the rope above them was reduced.
"Here I come."
The villagers rushed forward excitedly, ran towards the wire rope, and untied the tied prey.
Su Yue and the others tied the prey very tightly, but some of the ropes had been worn off when they went down the mountain and were almost falling apart. They could not withstand the strong pulling of the big men, and the prey on the wire rope was torn to pieces in a few pulls.
At this time, the wire rope also stopped sliding.
The officer who had followed him also arrived, with a few small prey hanging on his body.
