Uncle Hu stood in the snow, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with gloom, his heart as if tangled in a tangled mess.
He thought to himself, "What bad luck! Why do I run into them again?"
His eyes patrolled the camp vigilantly, and every glance was filled with a hint of annoyance and helplessness.
At this moment, the snow under his feet was creaking as it was trampled by the crowd, as if echoing his inner restlessness.
"Every time we see them, you and I have to hide, as if we are the ones with bad intentions. When will this hiding end?"
Uncle Hu rubbed his hands irritably, and the friction between his rough palms made a slight sound, which seemed to reveal his inner anxiety.
He couldn't help but steal another glance at the young man beside him, and saw that his face was as calm as water, without any ripples in his deep eyes, and his expression was still so calm, as if he would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Uncle Hu admired the young master's calmness, but also felt a little unspeakable grievance.
After a long time, he sighed helplessly, and the sigh sounded like smoke torn away by the wind, gradually dissipating in the air.
"Never mind, it's all because you have your own considerations. As your subordinate, I have no choice but to follow your lead."
Hu Shuqiang suppressed his inner annoyance and unwillingness, straightened his back, and stood quietly beside the young master.
People around were coming and going, and their shouts, conversations and the whistling of the cold wind mixed together to form a noisy wave of sound.
Amidst this clamor, Uncle Hu suppressed his inner uneasiness. Although his gaze still drifted towards Marquis Wenchang from time to time, his actions no longer overstepped the boundaries. He just silently prayed in his heart that this encounter would not cause any greater trouble.
The next morning, the Sujia Village team continued on their journey.
At the end of November, after a long journey, the people of Sujia Village finally set foot in the south.
Since the last heavy snowfall, the sky seemed to be punctured, and it snowed intermittently for several more times.
The dense snowflakes seemed reluctant to let them go, so they drifted down gently, covering the road ahead with a thin layer of silver, delaying their journey a little.
But the villagers supported each other, worked together, and with their tenacious will and longing for a new life, they overcame all difficulties and obstacles along the way and finally arrived in the south safely.
At this time, the warm sun is shining and the breeze is blowing gently, as if welcoming visitors from afar, bringing hope and comfort to the tired people and heralding the beginning of a new life.
As soon as you step into the land of the south, a warm breath hits you in the face. The weather is much warmer than before, as if you have instantly stepped into warm spring from the severe winter.
Looking up, the surrounding greenery is lush and picturesque, forming a sharp contrast with the bleakness of the north.
With Huaiqing Prefecture as the boundary, the east is a world covered with snow, clad in silver, cold and silent; while in the south, even in the middle of winter, the trees are still lush and green, like a unique mark given to this land by nature.
The people of Sujia Village looked curiously at the trees in the south that remained green in the biting cold wind. Some stopped to stare, some admired softly, and the children ran excitedly among the woods, curiously touching the evergreen leaves, chattering about this wonderful sight, as if trying to understand why the green of the south could stand tall and proud in the severe cold.
"It's much warmer in the south, and the trees are still green." Fourth Grandpa leaned on his crutches, squinted his eyes and looked at the lush forest around him, his face full of amazement and joy.
"Yes, yes, I feel a little hot even wearing a cotton jacket." Big Head agreed, unbuttoning the collar of his cotton jacket. Fine beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it away, his eyes revealing the novelty and adaptation to this warm climate.
"The South is really a great place, with green mountains and clear waters everywhere. We won't have to worry about running out of water when we divide the land in the future." A middle-aged man said with longing on his face, his eyes wandering back and forth between the distant mountains and the nearby streams, as if he had already seen the beautiful picture of a future life where they would live and work in peace and contentment on this land.
The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
At noon, the warm sunshine shone on the earth, and the people of Sujia Village rested at the foot of the mountain some distance away from the official road.
There is green grass at the foot of the mountain and dense forests around it.
Uncle Hu sat on a big rock nearby, but his eyes were always fixed on the forest. There seemed to be a flame jumping in his heart, and he couldn't help but be eager to try.
Since he was injured, the young master, out of concern and worry for him, strictly forbade him to use violence easily.
Now that my injury has healed, and I am once again in this mountain forest full of vitality and wildness, my past passion and enthusiasm come flooding back to my heart.
His originally calm eyes now flashed with a fiery light, and his hands subconsciously clenched, as if he had already grasped his beloved weapon.
Looking at the hares running around and birds circling in the woods, he could no longer contain himself. He stood up suddenly and couldn't wait to go into the woods to hunt today.
Along the way, although Uncle Hu was restricted from fighting by the young master due to his injury, his skills and knowledge were not buried.
During his journey, he always paid attention to the young people in Sujia Village. Seeing their somewhat immature methods and reactions when dealing with various situations, he couldn't help but teach them everything he knew, and told them the experience and survival skills he had accumulated over the years.
As time went by, Uncle Hu naturally became familiar with Da Hu, Su Wenjun and others.
They had always admired Uncle Hu's martial arts, and often discussed with him the subtleties of his boxing and kicking skills. Their friendship gradually deepened during their companionship along the way.
At this moment, when they heard that Uncle Hu was going hunting, Da Hu, Da Zhuang and others listened attentively and immediately came over as if attracted by a magnet.
Da Hu's eyes sparkled, and he said with a hint of anticipation and eagerness, "Uncle Hu, we want to go too!"
Da Zhuang also nodded repeatedly, and the other young people also looked at Uncle Hu eagerly, their eyes full of desire and curiosity.
The look was like a group of soldiers waiting for orders to go into battle, looking at their commander.
Uncle Hu looked at this group of energetic young people and felt a warm feeling in his heart. Thinking that they would not be in any danger with him taking care of them, he readily agreed.
Soon, Uncle Hu led more than 20 young and strong men from Sujia Village and headed towards the mountains with high spirits.
Considering that there might be unknown dangers lurking in the depths of the mountains, they cautiously chose to search for prey in the outer areas of the mountains just in case.
The crowd walked quietly along the winding mountain path, their eyes sharp as torches, carefully searching for any movement around them.
