Chapter 736 The Land of Prosperity

After scolding, Han Li carefully observed the surrounding situation and then slowly retreated. This time he retreated to the back of a hill. There are no human footprints here, and at the same time, it is far away from our patrol route. Belongs to a relatively safe zone.

After Han Li retreated here, he still made a temporary underground cellar for himself to rest. However, this underground cellar was relatively hidden, without the usual unhidden look, and then he used his mental strength to start. Look around for signs of owls.

If there are many ordinary birds in this mountain forest, it is a bit difficult to specifically find animals like owls.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. In order to cross the river safely, Han Li could only choose to cross the river at night.

But most birds will become blind at night, so Han Li would have to cross the river two days later to catch an owl. If he couldn't catch it, he would rather go back the same way than risk his own life. adventure.

However, Han Li's luck was quite good. Not long after he walked, he found two petite owls in a tree hole.

Their body color is tan, with a flat head and fine white spots. They have light eyebrow lines and wide white moustache lines, which make their two big eyes look particularly big. Their backs are brown with white spots, and their abdomens are gray with brown vertical lines. Pattern.

These are two vertically striped little owls, also known as: Ciguai, Little Owl, Little Owl, Little Oriental Owl. Their body length is only about 20 centimeters, making them the smallest among the owl family.

Although the distance between the tree hole and the tree hole is within the range of spiritual power, if you want to control the opponent with "Elementary Beast Control Technique", you still need to hold it in your hands.

After Han Li found his target, he didn't hesitate and climbed up the big tree in a few seconds. He stretched out his hand to catch these two little guys who were screaming in fear. Unexpectedly, these two little guys were quite fierce. He actually wanted to peck him with his mouth. The tree hole was so small that there was no way to avoid it.

Upon seeing this, Han Li quickly retracted his hand and used decomposition to enlarge the tree hole to create room for maneuver. Only then did he successfully catch the two little guys, and then arranged the basic beast control skills. .

Before Han Li even came down from the tree, these two little guys began to fly around him. Maybe it was because they were small and a bit stupid, or maybe it was the bonus after being controlled by the elementary beast control skills. In short, Han Li I think they look quite cute.

When Han Li took them back to his temporary resting place, he first took out some animal viscera and decomposed them into small pieces for them to eat. Then he let them go around to investigate the situation, while Han Li stayed behind. The ground began to strengthen the raft that had been completed.

Because Han Li had just seen the situation of the Amazar River, a tributary of the Heijiang River, and visually estimated that it should be four to five hundred meters wide. Although there must be places where the river surface is relatively narrow, he did not have time to search for it bit by bit.

Combined with the inspection personnel of both sides, as well as the width of the river surface, the mixing of ice and water on it, etc., the original two-layer raft is not very suitable.

Therefore, Han Li had to turn the original two-story raft into a three-story raft. In addition, he also had to add a short wooden wall at the front and rear of the raft to prevent himself from being shot by the patrolmen on the opposite side.

Will the raft become too heavy? No matter how heavy Han Li was, he would directly retract and release it into the decomposition space. He didn't have to carry it himself, so why was he worried about its weight?

However, Han Li had Goldfinger's help, so it would not be too difficult to retrofit the original rafts.

Han Li finished the raft and put it all into the decomposition space. When he sat on the ground and stared at the white clouds in the blue sky, two little owls landed silently next to him.

After communicating with each other, Han Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. After leaving the Mo River, he headed north rashly. On the way, he complained that there were not many people here, but the fact is that there are not only villages here, but also many military and military expansion farms. The east side is not very good. In the distance is the famous Rouge Valley in history. The personnel in these places are all the kind with real guns and live ammunition.

At this time, Han Li also remembered the notice he had read from Aunt Liu about the punishment of "Xiong Xianjin", an educated youth from Shanghe Village. He was originally caught panning for gold near Yanzhigou.

At this moment, Han Li didn't know that he had been very lucky these days. It wasn't that there were no people around him on the way, but that he had perfectly avoided these inhabited places. Think about it if he was as reckless as Yan Zhi. The consequences of ditching the alert range.

Han Li stood up and added another layer of disguise to the tunnel he had just made to see if there were any flaws. After checking that it was still early in the day, he walked in with two little owls in his arms.

After Di Xiangzi closed the door, he couldn't see anything inside. Han Li quickly took out the lantern from the decomposition space and lit it.

In this situation, you cannot burn wood to make a fire. If the smoke attracts people around you, it will not be described as troublesome, and it will cause big problems.

Fortunately, Han Li still had some charcoal in his decomposition space. Although the quantity was not large, it was enough for him to boil water, cook, and keep warm.

After Han Li lit charcoal to boil water for himself, he continued to communicate with the two little owls.

At this time, Han Li felt as if his luck had been exhausted on the way here, because across the Amazar River, there were only three or four small villages in a large area. Although it was impossible to start from two small villages, The owls got detailed figures here, but according to the impression in their minds, the number of people in these villages was quite pitiful. As for whether there were large towns further away, they didn't know.

The village is small, the population is small, and there is no town. This means that Han Li cannot carry out large-scale transactions like the last time he went to Zakaliski District. Even if there is a store in the village, there probably won’t be much good stuff, let alone finding it. The right Yangma expands his mental power.

Han Li was depressed for a while and then began to comfort himself. Since he was already here, he had to go and take a look. Besides, there were no benefits on the other side of the river.

At least the forest here is dense and there are many wild animals. The key is that you don't have to be polite to put these things away by yourself, and let the little owl continue to explore after crossing the river. Maybe you can discover the existence of the town after flying for a while.

After Han Li waited for the water to boil, he made himself a cup of tea. He took out the sesame cakes and red sausages he bought from the decomposition space and took a simple bite. Next, he checked the guns, magazines, long, medium and short javelins. Everything is ready, just waiting for night time.

After night falls, many animals here begin to emerge and look for food, and the sounds of various nocturnal animals are constantly heard.

Han Li also let the two little owls out to observe the situation, while he lay down by the fire pond and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

The time will soon reach two o'clock in the morning. This is the time when people are most likely to feel sleepy and slack off. It is also the time that Han Li specially selected to cross the river.

Han Li cleaned up everything in the cellar, gathered up his energy and walked out. After turning around and restoring the place as much as possible to its original state, he called on the two little owls to lead the way towards the Amazar River. Walk away.

After arriving at the river, Han Li asked a small owl to keep watch nearby, while another flew to the other side of the river to observe.

After receiving the news that there was no situation, Han Li slowly lowered the raft from the decomposition space to the river. During this process, apart from layers of ripples on the water, no sound was made.

Han Li gently jumped onto the raft, took out two oars and started rowing towards the other side. There was a small owl in front of him to guide him. He relied on his own mental power in the near distance. When encountering ice that could not be paddled, he used the raft to alternate. Way forward.

After reaching the other side, Han Li quickly put away the raft and, led by two little owls, disappeared into the jungle like a vigorous leopard.

It was already getting slightly brighter when Han Li stopped again, and he had completely entered the forest.

There are still sparse houses on both sides of the river, but it seems that no one has been here. The mountains and fields are full of towering trees of all kinds, including larch, red pine, spruce, fir, and Scotch pine. , oak trees, birch trees, ash trees, etc.

Although the ground was currently covered with white snow, Han Li could still feel the rich layer of rot under the snow when he stepped on it, not to mention the wild animals he disturbed along the way.

All these circumstances prove that the resources here are rich. Han Li expresses his contempt for Lao Maozi's waste from the bottom of his heart. However, it is still very close to the border guard station by the river and it is not suitable to help them collect some of the resources here. .

After Han Li caught his breath, he continued to head deeper into the forest, but this time his pace slowed down a lot, and he no longer felt like he was in a hurry.

When Han Li set off again this time, he had already taken out two short javelins in his hand. As long as he saw pheasants, hares, foxes and other animals on the way, he would catch them all. He would not chase the ones that ran away.

By nearly noon, Han Li had already harvested five pheasants and three hares. Although the distance was not too far, these living trees could not be removed, but the dead trees and fallen tree trunks on the road were all taken care of by Han Li. .

There were also pine nuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and pecans that didn't know how to survive the winter. Han Li also took possession of them.

In addition, Han Li also accidentally discovered a Siberian flying squirrel that he had never seen before, also known as the E-Ross flying squirrel, which is the most popular species in the mouse family.

Han Li was startled when this little thing flew over his head. He strained his nerves and discovered that this little guy could glide between trees. Although it had big watery eyes and a furry look, it was very cute.

But two little owls went to explore the way ahead. Han Li had a very, very hard time keeping the little owls alive, so he let this cute little mouse go.

At this time, Han Li, who had been rushing nervously since early morning, was already hungry, so he found a hilltop with a relatively wide view, found a leeward place, and built a fire pit behind a rock that could prevent predators from attacking. He started cooking.

The pheasants caught on the road were decomposed and two were boiled in a pot. The hares were decomposed and two were roasted next to the fire pit. All the internal organs were left for the two little owls to come back and eat.

The pheasant was very tender and cooked in just two tumbles. Han Li took down the pot, boiled the water, turned the hare over, and then started eating.

After he had eaten the two pheasants, including the soup and meat, only the outer layer of meat of the hare next to them was cooked.

Han Li simply took out his knife, peeled off the baked layer on the outside, sprinkled it with seasonings, and started eating. The two hares took turns peeling and eating, and drank a cup of tea in between. The speed of the barbecue was barely enough for him to eat.

Before Han Li had finished eating the hare, the two little owls that went to investigate the situation flew back. The news they brought was that there was a railway behind the five hills to the north, and there was a relatively flat mountain valley behind the seven hills to the west. , there are some houses and people inside.

The railway is probably the Siberian Railway. This railway can become something that runs through the Outer Xing'an Mountains. If I have enough time, I can use it as a landmark, but now it depends on the situation.

As for the residents in the col, Han Li was not interested, mainly because there were few people. According to Little Owl's description, there were only a dozen houses there. Not only would he have to bear certain risks if he went in by himself, but he wouldn't be able to buy anything there, so Han Li I don’t plan to go immediately.

However, based on the route he had been walking north, Han Li had almost figured out his current location, which should be at the junction of A Mur State and H Baikal Territory.

Not to mention this place now, in later generations it will be an inaccessible wilderness. If you want to find a decent town, you have to travel at least two to three hundred kilometers through these mountains.

If he wanted to go to a bigger town, the only way to go to Han Li was to take the train.

go? Still not going? In the end, Han Li decided to go after eating the roasted hare. If he couldn't buy something here and go back, then he would not have risked crossing the border in vain.

After making up his mind, Han Li packed up his things, released some soil from the decomposition space to put out the fire in front of him, and called on the two little owls to lead the way towards the railway to the north.

However, Han Li did not give up hunting and collecting resources along the way. He would hunt the prey whenever he encountered it, and forget about it if he did not find it.

But these old towering trees are good things. In the future, whether you use them for heating, decorating your house, making furniture, or converting them into money when the time is right, it will be a good thing.

Although these are all from the outer Xing'an Mountains, Han Li did not kill them all. He collected them one by one, leaving enough space for other trees to grow.

However, Han Li's behavior was very draining of his mental energy, and it wasn't long before he felt the symptoms of dizziness, headache, and nausea again that he had not experienced for a long time.

Han Li immediately calmed down. Although it was still early, if he couldn't use his mental alertness, who knew whether a tiger would suddenly appear from behind the trees, beside the rocks, or in the bushes and rush towards him.

A gentleman will not be as brave as a man without a dangerous wall. What's more, Han Li feels that he still has a lot of good life to enjoy in the future, so he will not put himself in danger.

So Han Li quickly used his remaining mental energy to make a temporary shelter for himself to stay overnight. He then piled a fire pit with stones, took out a thick and dry log and made it into an Athena torch, lit it, and spread the animal skins. I didn't even bother to eat before lying down and sleeping, because only when I fell asleep would the uncomfortable feeling be reduced.

While Han Li was sleeping, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guan, who were far away in Sijiu City, sat together again. After playing two games of chess, Mr. Guan took the initiative to speak.

"Old Liu, when will Han Li come back?"

"Han Li? You seem to have only met him twice, right?"
