Chapter 234 Picnic in the Mountains
Around noon, the group finally arrived at the small village hidden deep in the mountains.
According to the guide, this place is called Liujia Village, and almost everyone in the village is related to each other.
And they have lived here for a very long time.
Upon arriving in the village, Cheng Feng and his companions attracted the attention of the villagers.
Several young men were secretly watching Ah Xiang and Yang Xueli and the other girls, but they only glanced at them when the girls weren't looking at them.
The older ones are more unrestrained, and they stare wide-eyed at everything they see.
Ah Xiang was not used to this ostentatious display and subconsciously moved closer to Cheng Feng.
"Boss, the area around the village is relatively safe. If you're just here for sightseeing, don't go too far."
There are wolves and wild boars in the mountains.
Cheng Feng nodded in agreement and thanked him.
At the village entrance, the guide said goodbye to Cheng Feng, as he was only responsible for bringing Cheng Feng and the others here.
The rest of the journey is none of his business.
"Old Cheng, should we find a hunter familiar with the mountains and forests to be our guide?"
Chen Wenjin looked at the distant mountains and forests and asked Cheng Feng beside him.
Cheng Feng shook his head.
"No need. I've basically figured out the direction now that we're here. We can go by ourselves."
While the two were talking, Huo Ling was also giving instructions to Ah Xiang.
Tell her to be confident and outgoing, and not to be timid when there are many people around.
"To avoid trouble, let's not stay overnight in the village and continue into the mountains!"
Huo Ling glanced at the surrounding villagers and nodded in deep agreement.
After what happened in Zhelongzhai, she and Chen Wenjin were not very comfortable with mountain villages like this.
This place is far from the reach of the central government, which can easily lead to negative thoughts, since if something really happens, outsiders can't do anything about it.
"Let's go. Wenjin and I caused quite a bit of trouble back then."
We have four beautiful women with us this time; if we stay here too long, someone might cause trouble again.
Huo Ling's words piqued the curiosity of both Yang Xueli and A Xiang.
So as they walked, the two women asked Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin what had happened earlier.
Under the watchful eyes of the villagers, Cheng Feng and his group passed through their village and entered the old forest behind the mountain.
Some people marveled, saying that there are all sorts of birds in a big forest.
It's unbelievable that someone would travel all the way into the woods to feed the wolves; it's just a pity for several beautiful girls.
Some people remained silent, but their eyes darted around, and who knows what wicked ideas they were plotting.
There are bad apples everywhere, especially when the temptation is great, they can't help but show their fangs.
On the other side, the road became difficult to travel once they entered the old forest.
Cheng Feng had no choice but to walk in front, using his machete to clear a path for the women behind him.
He swung his knife and cut down several vines blocking his path, then looked up at the sun and said:
"Let's find a flat spot to set up camp. We'll have barbecue tonight."
"Okay, we'll help you find a suitable place."
Chen Wenjin responded.
After walking a while longer, Cheng Feng found a small, flat area.
After putting down his backpack, Cheng Feng said:
"You guys gather some dry branches. Ah Xiang, stay close to your sisters-in-law and don't wander off on your own."
"I know, brother!"
Ah Xiang agreed and then followed the three women to collect tree branches from the surrounding area.
Cheng Feng snapped his fingers, and a small tornado began to spin on the ground.
It quickly swept up most of the fallen leaves and carried them into the forest before suddenly dissipating.
"The more skills you have, the easier life will be!"
After a sigh, Cheng Feng turned around and started collecting tree branches and dead wood together.
As darkness fell, the group had collected enough branches and dead wood to burn.
Cheng Feng had Huo Ling pile the branches together, then flicked his finger.
A wisp of red flame landed on a branch and instantly ignited a campfire.
Once it was completely dark, Cheng Feng took out the tent he had set up beforehand and placed it on the prepared open ground.
The oven and charcoal were prepared in advance, along with some vegetables and mutton.
After lighting the charcoal, Cheng Feng transformed into a barbecue chef and began grilling meat for his wife's younger sister in the deep mountains and wilderness.
The four women sat around the fire, each holding a small plate.
Inside were slices of meat that Cheng Feng had grilled.
After taking a bite, Huo Ling exclaimed that it was delicious, and the other three women also praised it repeatedly.
"Honey, you should have a bite too!"
Huo Ling scurried over to Cheng Feng and handed him the piece of meat she had already taken a bite of.
Cheng Feng, naturally not wanting to spoil the fun, ate it in one bite and said:
"My Xiaoling is the best; she knows how to cherish her man."
Huo Ling, who had received praise, returned to the campfire with a smile, but also received two pairs of eye rolls in return.
While the family was enjoying their camping trip, a group of six people, armed with large flashlights, nimbly made their way into the woods.
"Sixth Brother, I heard from that simpleton that the man is a boss. If we tie him up, we can definitely get a lot of money."
Another person continued:
"That bastard is really enviable. I heard from Hanzi that three of those four women are his wives."
This capitalist's behavior—if it were a few years ago, I would have shot him dead back in the village.
The man called Sixth Brother wasn't actually that old, only about twenty-five or twenty-six.
Because his family was poor and the village was too remote, Zhijin couldn't get married.
After learning about Cheng Feng's situation, the little flame in her heart couldn't be contained. As the saying goes...
He was not worried about scarcity but about inequality. Once his temper flared up, he became anxious about the younger brothers he usually hung out with.
He chased after them that very night, carrying the hunting rifle his father had left behind.
"Damn it, so what if he's the boss? Even if the government officials come to our village, he won't have the face to back it up."
A village can't be all bad people, but a village made up of one large surname...
Even if the villagers are wrong, they will still choose to support them; this has been the way of survival for ordinary people for thousands of years.
It was precisely because they were confident that they dared to choose to get things done first.
Then they can cry to their elders and say that as one of the few able-bodied people in the village, the village will not abandon them.
"Everyone, walk quietly, we shouldn't be far!"
Sixth Brother whispered a few words, then followed the trail left by Cheng Feng.
At this moment, Cheng Feng and his companions, having eaten and drunk their fill, were sitting in the tent playing cards.
The chirping of insects around them was like a symphony, which greatly excited them.
Cheng Feng glanced seemingly unintentionally in the direction he had come from.
He then continued playing with the girls with great enthusiasm.
The four people who were originally following Cheng Feng's footsteps gradually deviated from the route.
They walked resolutely towards the old forest on the other side.
In their eyes, their route had not changed at all, and they could already see the firelight in the distance.
Soon they heard a woman's voice.
In the other tent, Huo Ling listened to the distant wolf howls and sighed:
"There really are wolves in these mountains!"
"Yes, hopefully they won't howl for too long tonight, or it will disturb our rest."
What Ah Xiang didn't know was that she had hit the nail on the head.
The wolf pack caught enough prey tonight, and after eating and drinking their fill, they went to sleep.
