Chapter 87 A group of Mohe barbarians came from the other side of the mountain!
(Thanks to kurara for casting a monthly vote.)
Li Shiyang was the first to stand up and support Li Shiyue's words. Then, before Li Youfu could say anything, Li Wangshui, Ma Zi, and Wei Zi also stood up and said that Li Shiyue made sense.
Li Youfu naturally knew that Li Shiyue was right; any benefits that couldn't be obtained without seeing soldiers were just empty promises.
"October, what you said makes sense, so what do you mean?"
"Grandpa Fu, we need to stay vigilant and keep the exploration team going!"
We absolutely cannot stop before this heavy snow falls!
Since the barbarians benefited and gained an advantage the first time, how could they possibly not come back for what Grandpa Liu was talking about?
"And I see there's a lot of hardwood on this mountain. If we have time, we could cut down a couple, sharpen them into points, and use them as guns."
Li Shiyue's words were eventually taken to heart by everyone. Each family sent people, and they also invited people from Wangjia Village to join them. They split into two groups and patrolled around the Black Mountain behind Liujia Village.
However, Daheishan Mountain is still too big, and from morning to night, one can only patrol around Liujiatun once.
Others weren't idle either; some went into town to buy grain, others negotiated with people about whether to buy or rent houses, and still others, short of money, wanted to go to town to find work.
Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian represented the Li family and the Zheng family respectively in the exploration team, and were the only two women in the team.
The two of them were truly strong and capable during their escape from famine, so the men, young and old, didn't find it bad.
After all, a woman who can truly kill with a knife and cut off a head in one stroke is more manly than a man, so who cares if she is a woman?
The strength is real, the ability to kill is real, and gender is completely irrelevant at this point.
Having stayed in Liujiatun for more than half a month, Li Shiyue now carried a basket on her back and had a wood-chopping knife at her waist, walking in the mountains, quite content.
Since practicing the "Sunflower Manual," her speed has indeed increased considerably, and she finally found an excuse to ask Li's mother for a embroidery needle.
The needle is now stuck in the top of the bag on her head.
But actually, the "embroidery needle from Dongfang Bubai" that was bought from the system was also inserted into the bag's head.
If it is used in the future, there must be a reason. Just say that the needle was obtained from Li's mother and was thrown out in a moment of panic.
It's not the two buns on the left and right sides of a girl's hairstyle, but rather a bun inserted on top of the head.
Yes, Li Shiyue is still dressed as a man at this moment.
Li Shiyue also took out the gold ingots he had previously obtained from the refugees. He gave some to his mother to buy a house, some to buy a donkey and a cart, and used the rest to buy grain.
Looking at the several sacks of grain filling the room, Li Shiyue finally dared to eat to her heart's content. Although she didn't eat until she was stuffed, she was able to eat until she was about 70-80% full at each meal.
Li's mother said that Li Shiyue seemed to have grown quite a bit taller in the past two weeks, as she had eaten enough.
Although she wasn't as tall as a man, she was still a rare tall woman.
Therefore, it doesn't seem out of place to see him dressed as a man from behind.
It's unclear whether it's the power of the "Sunflower Manual" that makes Li Shiyue so thin, no matter how much she eats.
However, she was quite strong; she could now lift the large stone block in Old Liu's yard, which weighed at least several hundred kilograms.
It had gotten cold that day, and just as the constable had said, it was likely that it would snow in another ten days or so.
During the patrol, Li Shiyue, being strong and fast, took the lead and climbed towards the top of the mountain. The rest of her team dispersed halfway up the mountain. Li Qiutian, however, was worried about leaving her alone, so she stayed behind her.
However, Li Qiutian walked slowly, unlike Li Shiyue who climbed the mountain quickly and easily.
These past few days, whenever it was Li Shiyue's turn to patrol the mountain, she would run to the top of the mountain and look towards the shady side of Daheishan Mountain.
In other words, she was relying on her five senses, which had been improved by the Vitality Water.
Yes, the effects of the revitalizing water have gradually become apparent these days!
Li Shiyue, whose strength and senses had already been enhanced by the Fertility Pill, has, with the added benefit of the Vitality Water, truly evolved—it's no exaggeration to say she has.
Yes, it has evolved!
She can see objects a hundred paces away, and she can hear voices ten feet away!
At this moment, she straightened up and looked towards the shady side of Daheishan Mountain, where she could vaguely see a large expanse of withered yellow grassland.
Every time Li Shiyue sees such a vast grassland, she feels a little itchy to go there.
Who doesn't dream of galloping on horseback?
As usual, Li Shiyue gradually narrowed her gaze and walked back when she suddenly saw several small black dots moving quickly toward the mountain.
She immediately climbed up a nearby tree, and from the higher vantage point, she could see the view in that direction more clearly.
Where are those little black dots?
As they got closer, Li Shiyue saw another group of about seven or eight people running towards the foot of the mountain behind those black dots!
It's getting closer!
When they were still a short distance from the foot of the mountain, Li Shiyue could see more clearly!
They're barbarians!
They are Mohe barbarians!
Han Chinese people do not have that kind of hairstyle; only foreign ethnic groups would have this kind of braid hanging down the back of their heads!
Han Chinese, regardless of gender, all tie their hair up; only young children with their hair hanging down do not tie it up!
Li Shiyue's heart was pounding, and her fingers turned white from gripping the tree trunk so tightly with her emotions.
Thanks to his exceptional eyesight, Li Shiyue saw that there were about twelve to fourteen Mohe barbarians riding horses down to the foot of the shady side of Dahei Mountain.
After observing for two more breaths, Li Shiyue decisively jumped down from the tree.
She turned around and saw Li Qiutian, who had just climbed up. The situation was urgent, and there was no time for Li Qiutian to catch her breath. Li Shiyue said to the panting Li Qiutian with a tense face, "Sister, the barbarians are here!"
After saying this, Li Shiyue blew the emergency whistle.
Ma Zi, who was halfway up the mountain, was a little stunned when he heard the whistle. It wasn't until Li Shiyue blew it a second time that he realized what was happening!
"It was the whistle that was blown in October!"
She's on the mountaintop!
She must have seen something!
“Pockmarked guy, hurry back to the village and report this. I’m going up to check.”
After giving this instruction, Li Wangshui drew the knife from his waist, gripped it in his hand, and turned to head up the mountain.
When Ma Zi saw Li Wangshui heading up the mountain without saying a word, he realized what was happening. He first blew his whistle to let the people patrolling nearby know that the situation was urgent, and then he ran down the mountain as fast as he could. He knew that he had to tell Li Youfu and the others the news as soon as possible!
Before Li Wangshui reached the top of the mountain, he encountered Li Shiyue, who was carrying Li Qiutian and running down the mountain.
"Uncle Wangshui, hurry back! The barbarians are coming!"
The two made contact. Li Wangshui was a quick-thinking person. As soon as he turned his foot, he followed Li Shiyue down the mountain.
While running, Li Shiyue said to Li Wangshui, "I saw a group of about ten people coming this way from the top of the mountain!"
They were all riding horses, so I didn't dare wait there any longer and just blew my whistle.
Let's go back to the village first, talk to Grandpa Fu and Brother Shiyang, and then make some plans.
I estimate they'll be able to cross the mountain by tomorrow morning or early tomorrow morning, so we have time to prepare!
