Chapter Twelve Beyond the Mountain
Although Liu Fan can no longer enter the ancestral hall at this moment, as things have developed now, any movement in the ancestral hall must be spread to the villagers waiting outside the ancestral hall. After all, the food shortage affects the entire small mountain village.
The villagers are definitely not something that a few clan elders can easily decide, so Liu Fan only needs to stay outside the ancestral hall to know everything that happens in the ancestral hall. The only thing he doesn't like is that the rain at this moment
The situation seems to be getting worse. If Liu Fan stays outside the ancestral hall, he may eventually become a drowned rat.
As soon as several hunters entered the ancestral hall, the village chief stood up anxiously. It was obvious that the village chief and clan elders had been waiting for a long time. Now that they saw several hunters coming back, they naturally hoped to get some news that would benefit them.
, but they were destined to be disappointed, because the news brought by the hunter was exactly what Liu Jinlin expected. One night had passed, and the wolves did not choose to retreat, and even directly regarded it as a new wolf den.
plan, so now, this road into the mountains is completely blocked by the wolves.
After hearing the reports of these people, Liu Fan understood why these people left the ancestral hall at this time. It turned out that after discussing it all night, the village chief and the clan elders in the ancestral hall still failed to reach a final result, so they
It was decided to send some experts from the hunting team to the place where the hunting team was attacked to check again. If the wolves have retreated, then what everyone is discussing here will be completely meaningless. But if the wolves are really like willows,
As Jin Lin said, he was still cruising in the same place, so everyone had to consider Liu Jinlin's concerns.
After learning about the decision of the village chief and clan elder, Liu Fan was a little scornful. Many people know that wolves are vengeful creatures, so yesterday his father successfully tore off one of the Wolf King's ears. So the Wolf King
They will definitely stay for a few days, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge, so now the village chief sends people to check, and of course they will encounter a pack of wolves. How long the pack of wolves will stay in place depends entirely on the amount of food in the area and the amount of food in the area.
The memory of the Wolf King, not to mention those clan elders, even Liu Jinlin and Liu Fan from the future cannot be sure, so it is completely meaningless to check now, and it will play into Liu Jinlin's hands, so next, because
Liu Jinlin's prediction is correct, then Liu Jinlin will gradually have the right to participate in the discussion of major events in the village. I am afraid that Liu Jinlin will gradually replace the village chief.
Of course, Liu Fan believed that Liu Jinlin's ambition would never be so simple. A village chief really couldn't satisfy Liu Jinlin's appetite. If he hadn't experienced such a deception in his previous life, he might have had a chance to be reborn.
I will try my best to obtain enough power and wealth, which is not a waste of my own rebirth.
Therefore, Liu Jinlin is just testing the waters in the village at the moment. When Liu Jinlin has enough power, he will definitely find ways to leave the village and go to larger cities outside to gain greater power. But in
Not only Liu Fan could understand how far the small mountain village was from the big cities outside.
Liu Fan has lived in this quiet mountain village for eight or nine years. He has never heard of the outside world. He doesn’t know whether it’s because the villagers in this village don’t know where the outside world is, or whether it’s because of this mountain village.
There is no outside world at all. Otherwise, how could the small mountain village be so completely isolated from the world?
Liu Fan had thought about this phenomenon before, but he didn't get any answers, so he had to give up in the end. He could only wait until he had a certain ability and could follow the hunting team into the mountains before he could explore it himself.
It's not too late either.
In fact, in the entire small mountain village, if anyone has the strongest hunting ability, everyone will definitely point to Liu Fan’s father Liu Dashan. Moreover, according to other hunters in the hunting team, only Liu Fan in the entire hunting team
Dashan has traveled the farthest place, so it is Liu Dashan who knows the most about the outside world.
That was when Liu Dashan was young. At that time, Liu Dashan had just joined the hunting team. The old hunting team leader was also seriously injured due to a hunting activity, so he could not continue to lead the hunting team into the mountains, so the village
Then a competition for the captain of the hunting team was held, and this competition was also very simple. Each hunter who wanted to participate only needed to go into the mountains to hunt alone, and the final result of the selection would be whose prey was stronger.
Whoever wins will win, and if two people hunt the same kind of prey, then the comparison will be the weight of the prey between the two.
That time, Liu Dashan's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and participated in the captain competition at a young age. The time given in the competition was five days. As long as within five days, the contestants would bring their prey back to the village.
Of course, most people will not use five days. The reason why the conference gives five days is because they are afraid that some accidents will happen and the contestants will be late, so they give such a long time.
time.
Most of the other contestants successfully brought back the prey they had hunted in only about three days, but Liu Dashan never came back. Until the last day of the competition, everyone thought something unexpected happened to Liu Dashan.
At that time, Liu Dashan finally dragged his prey back to the village, and the prey Liu Dashan hunted was an adult tiger. When this happened, everyone was naturally quite surprised, and they kept asking questions around Liu Dashan.
They kept trying to figure out where Liu Dashan went and why he brought a tiger with him when he came back.
Liu Dashan's answer was very simple. He just told everyone that he had gone far enough away from the village, and that the tiger was obtained only by chance.
Although Liu Dashan did not admit his ability to hunt tigers, everyone still directly elected Liu Dashan to be the leader of the new hunting team. When someone asked about the specific location where tigers were found, Liu Dashan always looked around.
He sometimes even directly told others that in the place where he hunted tigers, tigers were in groups like wolves, so in order to avoid people being curious about going there, Liu Dashan was always ready to find the specific location.
of confidentiality.
In fact, when Liu Fan heard this story, he knew that Liu Dashan had lied to everyone, because tigers would never appear in groups. Therefore, Liu Dashan did not tell the specific reason, and no one else knew.
Regarding this matter, Liu Fan also asked Liu Dashan, but the answer he got was a slap on the back of the head. It was also because of this slap that Liu Fan understood that this should
It was Liu Dashan's taboo, so he never asked again.
No matter where the tiger appeared, one thing everyone did admit was that only Liu Dashan had probably been to the farthest place from the village. Therefore, if you want to understand the outside world, no one is more suitable than Liu Dashan.
It's just that Liu Fan is still too young now, so it's not too late for Liu Fan to wait for a while before asking.
Returning my thoughts to this moment, with the proofs of several hunters, more villagers felt that what Liu Jinlin said was reasonable. After it was confirmed that everyone might really be in danger of running out of food, in the ancestral hall,
The people outside began to whisper, and the voices became louder and louder, as if the increasingly fierce rain could not extinguish the fire in everyone's hearts.
Indeed, the rain hitting the body will only make people feel a little uncomfortable, but once there is a food problem, it will affect the whole family. Although everyone has a certain amount of food in their homes at the moment, temporarily stopping hunting will not be harmful to them.
Everyone has had a huge impact, but due to various reasons, some people's food reserves at home are only enough to last for about a month. Once a month passes, then this group of people may really need to go hungry, so these people
First of all, I couldn't help but hope that the village chief and clan elders could find ways to help everyone solve this food problem.
The discussion outside the ancestral hall became more and more intense, and gradually spread to the ancestral hall. After all, the clan elders represent the interests of every branch in the village. If he cannot fight for enough benefits for his juniors,
, then your position as clan elder will no longer be supported by these younger generations, and clan elders without the support of younger generations will also find it difficult to continue to survive in the village. After all, they have lost the ability to work.
, without their young and strong backs, they will be useless.
It is for this reason that some clan elders began to persuade other clan elders around them, hoping that everyone would agree to Liu Jinlin's proposal and take necessary measures immediately so that everyone could prevent the crisis of food shortage in advance.
After these clan elders argued for a while, the village chief finally couldn't help but said, "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Since everyone feels it is necessary to prepare for possible food shortages, does anyone have better suggestions?"
, let me tell you directly now, we came to this ancestral hall to solve the problem, not to argue here, so next, if you don't provide useful suggestions, then just shut up.
"
After the village chief got angry, everyone finally calmed down, because there was no solution in everyone's mind at this moment. They just listened to Liu Jinlin's words before and felt that it was necessary to think of some ways to make everyone persist until they could enter the mountain again.
It was a day of hunting, but everyone was a little confused about how to do it. So at this moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Looking at the people present at this moment, Liu Fan had to sigh that people at this time were really simple enough. They didn't know that this situation was exactly what Liu Jinlin wanted, if there were no accidents.
