Chapter 2 A man's forest
Chapter 2 One person's forest
The end of the rope ladder is more than two meters high from the ground, but that's nothing. Yun Duo grabbed the rope in his hand, stepped on the trunk with his feet, and walked up the trunk step by step along the trunk.
When he reached the bottom end of the rope ladder, he adjusted the rope, moved his feet to the last horizontal staircase of the rope ladder, and then he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He loosened the flying claws in his left hand, held the rope ladder, and began to climb upwards.
This is Yunduo’s secret hiding place, and here, it is about one day away from Yunduo’s home to Jieyang Town.
Of course, this day is calculated based on the short legs of Yunduo. If an adult comes to this road, he will arrive in at most half a day - the straight line distance is only about twenty kilometers.
The jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts is dangerous. An adult dares not walk alone in the dense jungle. Yun Duo, a ten-year-old doll, can actually go deep into this. It is impossible to say that this is an extremely dangerous behavior, but there is no way. In order to survive, Yun Duo has to do so.
If the small town on the edge of the forest is a town that can be given up at any time on the Xiyue Continent, the small town of Jieyang, which is about ten kilometers deep in the forest, is even more abandoned among the abandoned land.
When the beast tide comes, this kind of town cannot even serve as an early warning, because even if the beast tide does not occur, it will be attacked by wild animals at any time. Therefore, even tax collectors in the town are unwilling to come here.
The only reason why this kind of town exists is to provide logistical supplies to hunting teams that go deep into the forest.
Each time the beast tide breaks out, there are at least two hundred and forty years. Therefore, some ordinary humans often survive for generations of remittance sites such as Jieyang Town, because such towns often have lighter taxes and even no taxes. As long as the people in the town are braver, they can pick some flowers and plants in the forest, and the money they exchange for can make themselves rich.
If the people in the town can understand some cultivation skills and provide some immortal services to the hunting teams that go deep into the jungle, their lives are usually more comfortable than other marginal cities.
Therefore, ordinary humans in small towns often reproduce in such forest villages for generations. Then, if you smell the wind wrong, you will accumulate over generations and escape from coastal cities. This way of survival is also one of the daily ecology of those who cannot survive in the Xiyue Continent.
Yunduo's family is an ordinary resident in Jieyang Town.
But this family is very capable of giving birth. Yunduo's grandfather Yun Taichong married four wives, and now the fourth wife is alive. These four wives left eleven children for the Yun family, and Yunduo's father Yun Laosan was born by the second wife. In addition, the second wife also left Yun Duo's father, Yun Laosan, and Yun Er Gu, the sister and sister.
Let’s not talk about Yunduo’s uncle and second uncle. Yun Lao San married Yun Qin and gave birth to six children in total. Yun Duo had three sisters on top, a younger sister and a younger brother at the bottom, and the youngest younger brother was called Yun Shiqi... Listen to Yun Shiqi. When women do not participate in the ranking, only men and only Yun Lao San’s youngest son were ranked Yun Shiqi. You can imagine how the descendants of this family were prosperous.
Logically speaking, such a family should have a very strong influence in the town. Under such low productivity, the large number of people seems to mean the wealth created. However, how much water a bucket can hold is not determined by the longest wooden board in the bucket, but by the shortest wooden board.
This family, four mothers and children, naturally formed a clique to become four gangs, and one mother born cannot guarantee that they can be friendly and help each other, and it can be imagined how chaotic this family should be.
As the second child born to the second wife of Yun Taichong, Yun Laosan, although he was a male, when Yun Laosan was born, Yun Laosan had already become strong and married and had children. Although his mother passed away, his mother was the original wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife's wife'
When Yun Laosan's mother gave birth to Yun Ergu, she died of blood dysfunction, Yun Taichong quickly married his third wife in order to take care of her infant child.
This third wife is relatively strong and has a high rate of fertility. She gave birth to three sons and one daughter in a row. At this time, Yun Lao Er, the eldest son in front of him, had grown up and had married and had children. In order to snatch the limited resources of the family for his children, this "miss third grandmother" did not dare to target Yun Lao Er, Yun Lao Er, so Yun Lao San became a natural object of exclusion.
Unfortunately, this third grandma didn't live long. During a sudden attack of monsters, Yunduo's third grandma was unfortunately killed... Yunduo immediately had a fourth grandma.
The old man loved his young wife. After having his fourth grandmother, the child born by the third grandmother also stood aside. Now the Yun family is the remaining children of the fourth grandmother.
However, when the third grandmother was alive, she wisely betrothed her only daughter to a wealthy family in a county town outside the forest as a wife. In contrast, Yun Lao San’s sister and sister were not ideally married. For villagers in the forest, relatives outside the forest were urgently resigned and bridged with the outside world, and needed to be particularly flattered and pleased.
Therefore, no matter what, Yun Taichong dares not overestimate the three uncles left by the third grandmother.
Based on the above considerations, Yun Laosan, who was used to being bullied, became a little transparent person who was naturally treated with the oppression.
It just so happened that the first three children born to this family, all of whom did not record the family tree, so the oppression in all aspects became even worse. Until Yun Duo was born, the survival status of the third family of Yun Laos did not improve much.
There is no way. Everyone has become accustomed to the way they get along with each other, and they don’t think there is anything wrong with this way of getting along with each other.
Although there are many opportunities to make extra money in a small town in the jungle of thousands of beasts, such towns are extremely poor in food, and it is almost impossible to make a living by hunting, because the animals you face may be a monster, and monsters are irresistible to human body. If you are not careful, hunters will be eaten by prey by hunting.
In this way, even adults dare not enter this dangerous jungle as a single adult. How could Yun Duo go deep into the jungle so far?
Because-survival!
Yunduo's predecessor should have starved to death.
Five years ago, when Yun Duo woke up, the first feeling that the world gave him was the burning pain in his stomach.
It is difficult for people who have never experienced hunger to experience the feeling of being extremely hungry.
When the limbs are weak and the senses are dull, the stomach feels all over the body. Under the stimulation of stomach acid, the burning pain in the stomach seems to be pulled out by someone, put it in his hands, and rubbed it in every way, resulting in severe pain of tearing the liver and gallbladder.
At that time, if there was no kind-hearted person who gave Yun Duo a bowl of hot porridge, perhaps Yun Duo's consciousness would have disappeared again as soon as it emerged in this world.
A bowl of hot porridge can't last long.
After waking up, Yunduo quickly understood his condition. Although he was the eldest son in the family, his unpopular father and soft buns' mother could not change his condition.
The family was always in a state of hunger, and Yun Duo was because his mother fainted from hunger not long ago. She endured her last bite of food and secretly asked her mother to share it with her sisters, but she starved to death.
Hunger is the norm for this family.
Yunduo only took a few days to understand this situation. As for why the family had starved to death this time, Yunduo never found out the reason.
After figuring out this situation, once again, when their family was punished by their grandfather and step-grandmother for some inexplicable reasons, Yun Duo said nothing and walked straight to the forest.
He was surprised. How could a person starve to death by guarding such a big mountain?
There should be extremely abundant food in the mountains. As for the risks in the forest... Starving to death is a way to die, and being eaten by wild animals is also a way to die.
It’s better to have a fight if you are all dead.
Yun Duo, who first entered the monster jungle, was only in his early five years old. With such a small body, his strength and speed were almost negligible. At that time, Yun Duo had already known the horror of the monster jungle, but he had no way out.
Because it has the memory of another world, Yun Duo has the wisdom of an adult in his small body.
After entering the jungle, he first walked along the path that people stepped out. When there was no road on all sides, he began to carefully dig traps on both sides of the road.
He can't afford to offend a large beast, but small animals should be fine, right?
The traps set by the clouds were very shallow and simple.
During the first hunting, although he dug four small traps, he did not catch any prey for three days. During these three days, the clouds survived by gnawing on tree bark, eating grass roots, and even catching insects. However, he was not idle during these three days. He squatted on a big tree, carefully observing the rules of animals, and then he began to improve his trap.
From then on, targeted animal bait was found in the trap. As a result, on the fourth day, the clouds, who were almost fainting from hunger, caught a snow rabbit.
Holding the snow rabbit, thinking of the sisters and sisters at home, Yun Duo was dull because of hunger, so Yun Duo only ate the two rabbit legs and the remaining meat. Yun Duo hurriedly took it back.
Let’s not talk about how Yun Lao San was overjoyed with the eldest son who had lost it, but the final result of this incident was... Yun Duo’s family did not eat a trace of meat. Instead, because Yun Duo was beaten by his grandfather because he lacked two rabbit legs. Because the step-grandmother was punishing Yun Lao San’s family at that time, it was said that because Yun Qinshi used too much force to wash clothes, she washed one of Grandma Yun’s favorite gowns.
Since "not allowed to eat" is a punishment measure, even if there is food in front of you, the third family of Yun is not allowed to eat - this is the rule, the Yun family's rule.
Yun Duo never fell twice in one place.
This lesson was enough. Yun Duo, who was beaten, turned around and returned to the jungle. From then on, he only asked his brothers and sisters from home to the forest outside the town and had a full meal quietly, but he would never take a little bit of prey and return to the Yun family compound.
What's amazing is that this secret meal-raising operation has been concealed to this day.
