Strange World Survival Manual

Afterwards, three figures walked out of the darkness, and their appearances appeared under the light of the bonfire.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing linen clothes. His skin looked a little red in the firelight, but Li Si could still tell that his skin must have been exposed to the sun for a long time and was a little dark.

And so did the other two young men.

"Excuse me, young hero. We are herb collectors nearby. When we saw you had a bonfire, we came over to you." The older, middle-aged man cupped his hands and apologized to Li Si.

Li Si was wearing a smart outfit at this time, so it was understandable that the middle-aged man thought he was a young hero.

"Collecting medicine in the mountains so late at night?" When Li Si saw the middle-aged man saying this, he believed it in his heart, because it matched their skin color. But he still had some doubts in his heart. After all, it always felt impossible for these people to collect medicine in the middle of the night.

After all, there are so many monsters and ghosts in this world. Aren’t you afraid of encountering ghosts while collecting medicine in the middle of the night?

"Oh, it's like this. The herbs near our county have been collected almost, so we often go to the mountains to collect herbs and often sleep in the mountains." The middle-aged man explained.

"Aren't you afraid of meeting ghosts?" Li Si frowned and asked.

"Haha, we believe in the mountain god, so we are naturally not afraid. With the mountain god protecting us, ghosts can't hurt us." The young man on the side couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, he showed the tattoo on his wrist with some pride.

Li Si's eyes narrowed when he saw the tattoo on his wrist. The tattoo turned out to be a tiger drawn in a few strokes.

"Dayuan." The middle-aged man turned back and glared at him, and then said to Li Si: "We have the blessing of the mountain god, so there will be no ghosts in the mountains and forests to harm us."

"Young hero, I wonder if you can let us rest here for the night. We can't find a suitable camp in the middle of the night." The middle-aged man continued.

Li Si thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's convenient for people to go out, so you can sleep here."

After saying that, he walked to the tree before, sat down, closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep.

But in fact, he did not close his eyes completely. There was only a slight slit in his eyelids. Then he took out the Bagua mirror and looked at these people secretly. It turned out that these people looked normal and were not monsters.

Of course, Li Si doesn't really believe in the Bagua Mirror now. After all, it missed it once in Zhang Mansion.

But at least now the possibility that these people are monsters and monsters has been reduced a lot, and he feels more relieved.

"This young hero, we are herb collectors from Mengting County. My name is Tu Feng, his name is Xu Dayuan, and his name is Miao Qing'an." The three herb collectors found a clean spot and sat down, and then the middle-aged man He smiled and began to introduce himself and the two young men at the same time.

The young man who had sneered before was Xu Dayuan, and the young man who had remained silent and looked like a dull gourd was Miao Qing'an.

Li Si, the county seat of Mengting County, had some impression in the memory of the original owner. It was a county seat near Fengmen County, so it was not surprising to meet these three people here.

"My name is Li Si, from Fengmen County." Li Si opened his eyes, glanced at the three of them, and then said.

"Brother Li, can I lend you this bonfire? We didn't eat at night and want to cook some food." The middle-aged man said a little embarrassed.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want. The firewood is over there." Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Li Si nodded in agreement, and then pointed at the pile of firewood neatly piled aside.

"Okay, thank you very much, brother." Tu Feng chuckled, cupped his hands, then stood up and walked towards the pile of firewood.

When he walked to the pile of wood and saw the smooth cuts on the firewood, his expression changed and the pupils in his eyes shrank.

But Tu Feng reacted quickly and immediately pretended not to notice anything. He picked up a pile of firewood and carried it to the campfire as usual.

He picked out two longer pieces of wood from the firewood, and then took out a small knife from the medicine basket.

He first used a knife to dig a groove on the top of the two logs, then picked up a small hoe and dug two pits on both sides of the campfire. He inserted the two logs into the pits, then buried them with soil, and used his feet to Compact the ground.

After burying the sticks, he shook the two pieces of wood with his hands to make sure they were firm.

At this time, Miao Qing'an had walked to the pond to wash vegetables while Tu Feng was working.

Only Xu Dayuan was left yawning in boredom.

"Anzi, are you done washing?" Tu Feng walked up to Miao Qing'an and said to Miao Qing'an who was still washing vegetables.

"Just wait a moment." Miao Qing'an said while washing vegetables. His voice was hoarse, as if his throat was not very good.

Afterwards, Miao Qing'an finished washing the vegetables, holding the pot and walking side by side with Tu Feng.

On the way, he looked at Tu Feng and winked at Li Si.

Tu Feng patted him on the shoulder and shook his head slightly.

Then they walked to the bonfire, picked up the wooden sticks they had prepared, put them through the iron pot, and started cooking.

"Brother Li, why did you come to this mountain?" Tu Feng added firewood to the campfire and asked Li Si.

Li Si frowned slightly, thought for a while and then said: "An old friend of mine died here, and I'm here to collect his body."

When Li Si said this, the three of them paused and exchanged glances with each other.

"Why did your friend die here?" Xu Dayuan asked strangely.

"He was a herb gatherer like everyone else, but he was unlucky and fell off a cliff when he was collecting herbs. He fell to his death. The bones have not been found yet." Li Sixin made nonsense. He knew the tattoo on Xu Dayuan's wrist from before. I feel strange.

In addition, the three of them, Xu Dayuan, said that the mountain gods protected them and other ghosts did not dare to harm them.

Li Si felt that the tiger that killed Cao Qing was probably related to the mountain god, or even the tiger was the mountain god.

Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to directly tell the real cause of Cao Qing's death.

Hearing what Li Si said, the three herb collectors were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions turned a little ugly.

"It is indeed dangerous to collect herbs. Both my father and my grandfather fell from the cliff and died while collecting herbs." When Xu Dayuan heard what Li Si said, he suddenly thought of his future and his past, and suddenly felt a little sad.

"Yeah." Miao Qing'an said very few words, but there was also a complicated expression on his face.

"Hey." Tu Feng sighed and said helplessly: "In today's world, it's good to have enough to eat. This is life!"

"Brother Tu is right, it's good to have a full bowl of rice." Xu Dayuan shook his head and sighed: "At least my family has never been hungry since they started working as herb collectors."

"If I fell to death that day, I would be satisfied." Xu Dayuan said with a smile.

Li Si didn't feel very good after listening to what they said. He had been here for almost half a month, and he knew something about it. He knew that many people's goal was just to eat well and wear warm clothes.

But many people don't get what they want.
