Everyone's backpack was filled with some wild boar meat, and this way of distributing the meat would not have a big impact on the speed of the entire team.
The group packed up their bags and continued on their journey. They stopped and walked from time to time and caught a lot of prey along the way, including hares, pheasants, etc.
Because of the powerful fighting ability Xu Jianguo had shown in dealing with wild boars before, everyone became much more enthusiastic towards him, and Old Man Zhang would ask for his opinion from time to time.
Finally, in the afternoon four days later, the group arrived at their first destination, Laoniugou.
Laoniugou is located in the southeast of the remnant of Beimang Mountain. It is a valley with a drop of dozens of meters. Due to its low terrain, it is shrouded in fog all year round. According to legend, the green ox of Taishang Laojun once practiced here, and later the place name Laoniugou gradually came into being.
But in Xu Jianguo's opinion, this is pure nonsense. If it is true as the legend says, why is this place not called Qingniugou but Laoniugou?
Mr. Zhang brought everyone to a natural cave. According to him, this was a place they used to stay when hunting.
Walking into the cave, Xu Jianguo found that the area here was quite large, and it was more than enough for more than 30 people to live in it.
And when he saw Mr. Zhang and several hunters move a large stone in the cave and take out bundles of firewood and an iron pot from a small cave hidden behind it, he was even more impressed.
The old man continued to assign tasks. Some people went out to collect firewood, which they would store in a small hole for use next time they came. The rest of the people were responsible for fetching water, making fire and cooking. In short, everyone had their own responsibilities.
Xu Jianguo was assigned to collect firewood nearby. He put the backpack in the cave, took a dagger and carried a water bottle, and followed others out of the cave. He ran back and forth several times and brought back a lot of firewood.
Clapping his hands, Xu Jianguo came to the old man and said, "Old man, I want to discuss something with you. I want to take a look around here before it gets dark and see if I can dig some herbs."
If someone else had made such a request, Mr. Zhang would definitely not agree. But Xu Jianguo was different. Everyone had seen his skills. After thinking about it, the old man nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead, but don't go too far. If you have any problems, just shout loudly!"
"Okay, old man, I won't go far." Xu Jianguo said.
"Do you need someone to go with you?"
"No, it's more convenient for me to be alone!"
"Okay, go ahead and be safe!"
Xu Jianguo agreed and left the cave, walking towards the depths of Laoniugou. Soon his figure disappeared in the thick fog.
