My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Chapter 13 The ancient skill of Zoushanren, the art of taming birds!
"Zhang Hao."

A clear, sweet, and very soft female voice came from behind.

Zhang Hao trembled all over, turned his head, his pupils dilated uncontrollably, and looked at the extremely familiar figure.

"Si, Siyu..." He forced a smile.

After Li Siyu was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his almond eyes narrowed slightly: "Did you bring food?"

Zhang Hao paused.

Li Siyu is...in order not to embarrass himself too much?
He immediately reacted and said with a smile: "I've brought everything, don't worry."

Then, while helping him tidy his clothes, Li Siyu asked in a low voice, "What are you doing? Didn't you say you want to stay at home?"

Zhang Hao coughed lightly: "I'm going to walk the mountain."

"Take the mountain?" Li Siyu was taken aback, looking up at the man in front of him, a little puzzled.

"Well, I asked you to borrow money before to prepare for the mountain trip." Zhang Hao responded.

Li Siyu thought for a moment, restrained his smile, and nodded.

She had heard from a woman in the village that Zhang Hao went to Aunt Zhao and asked Aunt Zhao to weave a bamboo basket, straw sandals, and a lot of requests, which made Aunt Zhao very distressed.

But Zhang Hao was really generous. He gave Aunt Zhao 300 yuan for just a bamboo basket and straw sandals.

She knew all this, but she hadn't told Zhang Hao about it.

"Then pay attention to safety. If... if it doesn't work, go down the mountain and go home." Li Siyu nodded and simply instructed.

Zhang Hao's heart warmed up, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "Okay, don't worry, I will be fine."

After speaking, he put the red rope on the ground and stepped over it.

Then, under the suspicious eyes of everyone, he put away the red cloth, picked up the red rope, left the incense stand and Lixiang still in place, took out three tribute fruits respectively, and placed them aside carefully.

"Fellow folks, don't touch these incense stands and tribute fruits, and don't touch those with children at home. These are dedicated to the mountain god, and the others are for Uncle Zhao."

Lixiang and Gongguo are enshrined to the mountain god, and they must not be moved for the blessing of the mountain god.

And the tribute fruit that was distributed was also because Uncle Zhao was going to go to the funeral, so he deliberately took it out and put it aside. It was regarded as a tribute fruit for Uncle Zhao, a way to drive away bad luck.

After finishing all this, Zhang Hao picked up his bag and Gu Linglan, and walked along the mountain road in front of him without looking back.

Li Siyu looked at his leaving back, and was in a daze for a while.

Before she knew it, she had lived with Zhang Hao for seven days. During these seven days, Zhang Hao, from the villagers' mouths, was a waste of nothing, idle all day, and had nothing to do. He had turned into a person who completely contradicted his impression.

He cleans up the garbage at home, and borrowed money before to find something for himself to do, although the thing he was looking for was walking.

That is, things like picking mushrooms and herbs in the mountains.

It seems that what he is going to do is a bit unreliable, and it is something that only the older generation will do.

But as long as Zhang Hao no longer drinks and idles like before, that will be the biggest change.

"Siyu, what did Haozi say he was going to do? Go to the mountains?"

At this time, Aunt Zhang stepped forward, first glanced at Zhang Hao who had already gone up the mountain, then at Li Siyu and asked.

The surrounding villagers were also confused, not knowing why.

Li Siyu came back to his senses, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was fleeting: "He said he was going to walk the mountain."

Aunt Zhang nodded thoughtfully: "Zoushan, this job is not easy."

"That's right, it's so dangerous in the mountains, who would do this now." Someone immediately spoke up.

"Who said it wasn't? The old Wangtou at the entrance of the village, he just walked the mountains. He went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and herbs all day long. He didn't make much money a year, and he almost lost his life several times. Later, Didn’t you meet a bear and come back after being blinded in one eye?”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Who is talking nonsense, that old Wangtou %#...&#...￥%# woo woo woo."

Aunt Zhang quickly pulled Li Siyu aside, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to their nonsense, Siyu, although Haozi is a bit lazy, he is still very clever."

This situation is too special now. Zhang Hao and Li Siyu have already had a marriage contract. In the eyes of outsiders, they are not husband and wife, but in the eyes of villagers, the two are already husband and wife. There is only one meal, a so-called ceremony. That's all.

If something happened to Zhang Hao at this time, it would be fine if he died, but if he survived with a half-mutilation, then Li Siyu would really suffer.

Li Siyu nodded slightly: "I'm fine, Aunt Zhang."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head again, her eyes still looking at the mountain, her thoughts flooded.

She still hopes that Zhang Hao can come back safely.

Not only because of the marriage contract, but also because Zhang Hao is no longer that useless person who drinks alcohol all day long and idles around.

……

huh, huh...

huh, huh...

Humid air, sticky, slippery forest path.

The luxuriant branches and leaves shade the sun, only scattered on the weeds and tree trunks.

Zhang Hao was leaning on a cane, breathing heavily and greedily for the fresh air.

It was the first time he walked the mountains, and when he came to the mountains and forests, he deeply felt the difficulty of walking mountains.

Just this small path in the mountain is not something ordinary people can walk. There are weeds everywhere, but there are lush trees of similar heights that can't be seen at a glance.

If you are not careful, you will lose your way, and you will never be able to get out of the mountain.

Leaning on crutches and resting for a while, he drew out the saber pinned to his waist, and the sharp blade rushed down, directly chopping at the small tree beside him.

The blade with a cold light easily sank into the small tree. Zhang Hao raised his hand and broke the small tree with all his strength, and remained casually aside.

This is the basic knowledge that a mountain walker possesses. You need to make some marks on the road along the way to indicate that you have passed this place, which is also the way you came. When you go down the mountain, you can use these marks to recognize the road. Can make timely adjustments.

Along the way, Zhang Hao has already made more than a dozen marks, large and small.

As a mountain walker, you must always be careful and cautious, and you will never make mistakes.

jijiji~
In the quiet, peaceful mountain forest, there are occasional melodious birdsong, echoing in the forest.

Zhang Hao took advantage of the rest time to follow the prestige.

On a tree branch not far in front of him, several black-throated songbirds with dark slate gray body, bright black tail coverts, and milky white belly hung on the branch.

This bird is also commonly known as the nightingale, and its song is very pleasant and melodious.

bird……

Zhang Hao's thoughts then diverged, and he thought of a necessary skill for ancient mountain walkers mentioned in ancient books.

【Bird Training】

As the name suggests, the Bird Taming Art is to domesticate the birds in the mountains, so that the birds can help the hikers find things, check the risks, and find the way.

Generally, it is a skill that can only be mastered by mountain walkers in the south.

There are extremely detailed records of bird taming in ancient books, including detailed explanations of the habits of different birds, as well as domestication methods. As long as the domestication is carried out according to the description in the ancient books, it will not take too long to complete.
