Chapter 10 Fully equipped, the taboo of mountain walkers

In the morning, the warm sun shines on the earth.

Porridge, steamed buns, and two delicious appetizers were placed on the table as usual.

The two sat opposite each other, each holding a bowl of porridge, sometimes eating a mouthful of vegetables, sometimes eating a mouthful of steamed buns, and finally drinking the white porridge in the bowl.

Just eat breakfast.

"I'm going to help Aunt Li today. I may not come back for lunch. I've prepared a meal for you. Just warm it up at noon."

Li Siyu changed into more plain clothes and picked up the vegetable basket.

Zhang Hao nodded: "Go, don't be tired."

"Okay." Li Siyu nodded and left the courtyard.

Zhang Hao got up from the dining table, packed up the dishes, came to the courtyard, and looked at his achievements yesterday.

The garbage in the grass has disappeared, and the bad smell has completely dissipated.Yesterday, he had almost cleaned up the room and the yard.

And that piece of grass, due to his previous "destruction", still needs a period of time to grow before it can return to its original state.

The same is true of the peach trees in the courtyard.

Nothing happened today, so he continued to practice according to the body tempering method in the ancient book while the dew was still there.

Near noon, Zhang Hao simply reheated the meal that Li Siyu had left for him.

After eating, I continued to practice. During the period, I found time to review the content of the ancient books, and continued to prepare for the mountain walk.

……

Time passed quickly, and immediately, 4 days passed.

After breakfast, Li Siyu picked up the farm tools and went to the field.

Zhang Hao finished packing the dishes and came to the courtyard.

After a few days of practice, he obviously felt that his body had recovered a little, and he was no longer as weak as before.

Although compared with a healthy person, he is still a little worse, but he is still much stronger than when he was just reborn.

He didn't start practicing right away, but simply made some moves, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard.

Because according to the agreement between him and Aunt Zhao, it was time to pick up Gu Linglan and straw sandals today.

As long as he has these two "treasures", he can officially start walking.

……

Along the muddy road in the village, avoiding the small water inlet that has now dried up, I came to the familiar half-open wooden door.

Zhang Hao gently pushed it away, stepped over the threshold, and shouted as he walked, "Aunt Zhao, are the bamboo baskets and straw sandals I want ready?"

The voice just fell.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the house, Aunt Zhao's figure pushed the door and came out, holding a gradient color bamboo basket and a pair of gradient color straw sandals in her hand.

Zhang Hao saw at a glance that it was Gu Linglan and straw sandals.

After all, he is also a child who grew up in the countryside, and he can distinguish various bamboos and straws.

"You boy, you can really find a job for me. It took me so much effort just to find these things for you, alas." Muttering, Aunt Zhao handed over the bamboo basket and straw sandals in her hand: " Take a look and see if it was edited according to your request."

Zhang Hao took the bamboo basket and straw sandals, and looked at them carefully, for fear of making any mistakes.

After all, this is a guy who walks mountains and eats. If something goes wrong, it will run counter to the records in the ancient books, and it may have the opposite effect.

There are so many dangers in the mountains, and it is easy to die if you are not careful, so you can't be sloppy in this kind of thing.

After careful inspection, Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

"Ms. Zhao, it has to be you. Look at how beautifully the bamboo basket and straw sandals are made!" Zhang Hao complimented without hesitation.

Aunt Zhao's stern face relaxed, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she scolded: "You boy, you are so smooth-tongued, how about it, you are still satisfied, Auntie made everything according to your requirements, and you dare not be sloppy at all."

"That's right. Ma'am, I'm absolutely assured of your work. In the whole Zhaojia Village, there is no third person who is as responsible as you." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

Aunt Zhao was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Then who is the first person in charge?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Hao blurted out, "That must be Siyu."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao's eyes flashed regret, and her smile gradually subsided: "Haozi, Madam, say something you don't like to hear, Siyu is a good girl, you...you can't treat Siyu badly."

"If you let me know that you have treated Siyu badly, I will be the first one to say no!"

Zhang Hao put away his smile and nodded solemnly: "Aunt Zhao, don't worry, this time, I will never let Siyu down."

"Come on, ma'am, here's the money for weaving bamboo baskets and straw sandals for you, 300, I'll go first." Zhang Hao took out three hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, and handed them to Aunt Zhao, Turn around and leave.

Aunt Zhao stood there blankly, looking at his leaving figure, and muttered, "What do you mean, boy? What do you mean he won't fail Siyu this time, as if he has failed Siyu before."

Without thinking too much, Aunt Zhao looked down at the three hundred-yuan bills in her hand, with the corners of her mouth upturned, her eyes squinted, and undisguised joy appeared on her face.

……

Back home with Gu Linglan and straw sandals.

Zhang Hao carefully put these two things away, sat at the dining table in his room, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

Putting down the cup, he let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

Now everything is ready, the only thing I owe is Dong... Bah, no, it's time to go to the mountains.

In the eyes of Zoushan people, the word Dongfeng is not good.

The original text is [Walking the mountain without talking about the wind, I am afraid that the east wind will be sent. 】

【Walking on the mountain and talking about the wind, entering the mountain and getting confused, trapped in the mountain, you will become the leader of the mountain】

The book explains that when walking in the mountains, once the wind blows in the mountains, it is a bad omen, which means that today's mountain walking will not be smooth, and you may lose your way in the mountains, becoming another kind of wind. A formal "mountain walker".

There are many taboos like this, such as what is called the mountain but not the person, and the non-blood relatives cannot go together, etc., and when walking on the mountain, you must not speak of mountain gods, ghosts, loud shouts, or certain fixed words .

The most important thing is not to throw garbage, food, and everything brought into the mountains from the outside world.

This is the sentence recorded in the ancient book, [Do not keep things outside the mountain, fear the mountain spirits, and provoke mountain ghosts.Those who walk the mountain will return empty-handed, but if they are serious, they will be the spirit of the mountain. 】

The explanation in the ancient books is that everything in the mountains has spirits. If because of the appearance of mountain walkers, things from the outside world are brought in and not taken away, the spirits of all things in the mountains will be destroyed, and the mountain gods and spirits in the mountains will be dissatisfied.

Then the next time you go up the mountain, if you don’t find anything when you go up the mountain, the spirits in the mountain will avoid you and leave, and the person who walks the mountain will return empty-handed.

I have to say that there are indeed many customs, customs, rules, etc. about walking in the mountains, and they are all recorded in ancient books.

Zhang Hao couldn't remember it all, so he had to pick it up and review it again from time to time.

In his opinion, if he has made up his mind to be a mountain walker, the various customs, customs, and rules handed down by the older generation must also be followed.

After all, those are the older generation of mountain hikers. With their lives, countless times of being in dangerous situations, and countless times of mountain walking experiences, they summed up one experience after another, and there is always a reason for it.

Thinking of this, he picked up the [Zoushan Travel Notes] again, and patiently began to review it immersed in it.

He wanted to get a better understanding of the knowledge and experience summed up by these seniors before officially leaving the mountain.
