The old hunter was in a good mood. After packing up the food, he continued to tell Su Nian and Chu Beichen about his experience in the cedar forest.
It turned out that the old hunter had accidentally killed someone when he was very young. "I was very panicked at the time, and I still can't be sure whether the person was dead or not. Anyway, after I found out about this accident, I ran away as soon as I got there, far away from my hometown!"
The old hunter was very frank and had no intention of hiding anything. This was because in the criminal laws of various countries, there is a statute of limitations. If you live long enough and the statute of limitations has expired for the crime you committed, no one can hold you accountable.
The old hunter was still a young man at that time. He was panicked and wanted to run as far away as possible. Unknowingly, he came to a place where there were few people.
He came to the cedar forest in spring. New buds sprouted on the bare branches, and the cedars grew fresh pine needles. The woods were full of wild flowers, and violets and wild chrysanthemums were competing for beauty.
The old hunter fell in love with this place at once. He had been on the run for a long time and needed a place to calm his restless heart. He felt that this forest was the pure land he was looking for.
The old hunter spread his old blanket on the thick pine needles and spent the first night there.
"At that time, it was not mice but squirrels that came to make trouble. The next morning, I felt something hitting me. When I opened my eyes, I saw two little squirrels standing on the branches above my head, throwing pine cones down non-stop," the old hunter laughed when he said this.
Su Nian had already brewed strong black tea for everyone, with sugar and cream in it. This is the favorite drink for people living in cold areas. It can replenish calories and vitamins.
The old hunter took a sip of black tea, nodded in agreement, and continued to tell his story, "After that night, I first built a simple hut for myself. Later, I found that the hut could not keep out the wind and rain. After a week of heavy rain, I started to build a wooden house."
"This is the wooden house you live in now. It's not made entirely of wood. I put mud between the two layers of wood. This not only increases the adhesion, but also keeps out the cold in winter."
Chu Beichen nodded in agreement. This method was not invented by the old hunter. It was also used to build simple wooden houses in some cold places.
"The days in spring are very long, and every day is sunny and beautiful. By summer, the wooden house has taken shape," the old hunter said as he talked about the past, he was so excited that his eyebrows and eyes were lively.
There are cedar trees in front and behind the cabin, and outside the cedar trees is an endless cedar forest.
There are no roads or human traces in this place, only endless woods and various animals living in the woods.
After a troublesome spring, the old hunter has discovered that the animals in this forest include bears, wild wolves, and big mountain cats with very bad tempers.
After building the wooden house, the old hunter did not bother to carve the house in detail. He headed deeper into the forest and began to explore during the short summer.
At this time, the old hunter had no experience of living in the forest. During the three days, he encountered countless dangers, including attacks by wild beasts and food shortages. Fortunately, after three days, he finally reached the depths of the pine forest and made a miraculous discovery.
