Chapter 499: Building a Temporary Foothold

So everyone expressed their agreement and began to go up the mountain in an orderly manner.

People riding donkeys and mules walked at the front of the procession, while those pushing carts followed closely behind.

Along the way, the burning torches illuminated the road up the mountain in a bright red, like a winding fire dragon extending into the depths of the mountains.

In the early morning, the sun had not yet risen completely, the sky was just turning pale, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

Gu Yan and his sister Gu Qingzhi each rode a horse and rushed to the front of the team.

Following closely behind was Gu Da, who was also riding a tall horse, looking very heroic.

Gu Ren and several of his cousins ​​followed slowly at the end of the team, responsible for covering the rear.

When the morning light was just breaking, this team composed of young and strong men from the prosperous Tang Dynasty had already arrived at the edge of the mountains.

The lush, rolling mountains before them were like a huge green barrier, stretching across the room.

One step further, you will reach the deep mountains and old forests in the true sense.

Gu Yan raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop here for a while.

After the horse stopped, he jumped off the horse lightly, looked around carefully to observe the terrain, then waved to Gu Da behind him and pointed to a relatively flat and open place. Then, he turned to him and said, "Brother Da, the terrain here is flat, and there is a clear stream not far away. In my opinion, it is very suitable for building a temporary camp."

Hearing this, Gu Da looked around and nodded in agreement, then walked aside with Gu Yan to discuss the specific planning layout in a low voice.

Soon, the two seemed to have reached a consensus. Gu Da turned around and faced the people who had been waiting for a long time, and began to assign tasks to everyone in an orderly manner.

A few people were assigned to cut down trees for building tents, while other people were ordered to collect hay and stones for laying bedding.

Everyone obeyed Gu Da's orders, and it was obvious that this was not the first time this had happened.

Gu Qingzhi sat quietly on the horse, watching his brother giving orders to everyone with ease, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that his brother is indeed quite prestigious in the village, and he handles things in an orderly manner.

Just then, there was a noise coming from behind. It turned out that the second group of people who came on foot finally arrived here.

However, to their surprise, the first group of people who arrived earlier had completed the initial construction of the temporary camp quickly and efficiently.

Simple yet stable tents are scattered in an orderly manner on this open space, giving people a sense of order at a glance.

All the materials needed to build the camp were collected locally.

They walked into the dense bamboo forest without hesitation, swinging their sharp axes in their hands, and cut down the thick bamboos one by one.

After careful selection and processing, these bamboos were cleverly used and became the key material for building the main structure of the house.

In a short while, a row of neatly arranged houses rose from the ground.

However, houses built solely with bamboo are far from perfect.

So everyone collected nearby thatch and leaves and covered the roof with them, thus effectively blocking the invasion of wind and rain.

Although it is the hot season of May and June, the air is extremely stuffy and hot during the day, but it still feels a little cool at night.

Therefore, it is really great to have a house in these mountains that can shelter you from wind, rain and cold dew.

On the other side, Gu Qingzhi was also not idle.

I saw her carefully searching around the camp for various herbs that could repel mosquitoes and ants.

Hard work pays off, and before long, she found many precious herbs.

Afterwards, she directed everyone to gather the herbs together, burn them, and make them into small and exquisite medicine bags, which were hung around the house.

In this way, those annoying mosquitoes and ants will not dare to approach easily.

Seeing Gu Qingzhi busy all the time, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that she would exhaust herself.

So he quickly walked to Gu Qingzhi and took the initiative to help process the herbs.

After all, there are countless mosquitoes in the mountains and forests in summer. If we don’t take adequate preventive measures, I’m afraid everyone will be disturbed by them.

When all matters in the temporary camp were dealt with, Gu Yan made a prompt decision and led everyone into the mountains.

Considering the safety issue, he deliberately left several strong men to guard the camp.

Just now, on the way up the mountain, they captured some prey along the way.

Therefore, the few people who stayed behind not only shouldered the responsibility of guarding the camp, but also had to properly deal with the prey first.

Gu Yan led everyone forward steadily along a predetermined route.

It turned out that during the previous exploration, he had keenly noticed the traces of a nest of wild boars.

Judging from the footprints left on the ground, there were probably seven or eight wild boars in the group.

In that case, let’s just make this nest of wild boars the primary target of this hunting operation!

In this way, under Gu Yan's leadership, everyone stayed on the mountain for six days...

Every evening, when the sun is about to set, the road down the mountain becomes lively.

Carts filled with all kinds of prey, baskets carried by mules, and large nets carried by everyone working together slowly came down the mountain.

Among these prey were huge wild boars, nimble wild goats, graceful wild deer, powerful bison, as well as large numbers of hares and pheasants. They were simply too numerous to count.

This spectacular scene attracted the villagers of Shengtang to flock to the foot of the mountain. They gathered together and watched this rare and lively scene with great interest.

Seeing huge prey being transported down continuously, people's eyes were filled with envy and a hint of pride.

What I envy is that even if I spend my whole life trying, I probably won’t be able to catch so many preys of such huge size.

What makes them proud is that all these amazing achievements are from the hands of their young men in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and belong to the glory of their prosperous Tang Dynasty.

And soon, these big and delicious things will become delicious dishes on their table. Thinking of this, everyone's heart is filled with anticipation and excitement.
