Hercules said: "Would you like to go and have a look?"

Shui Ling glanced sideways, "Do you really want to go?"

"What I mean is that you can find some people to come and settle down, and the monkeys will be protected." Hercules explained.

"Hmm..." Shui Ling nodded. No matter how smart a monkey is, its abilities are limited. It is better to find some people to build a village.

"Okay, let's go." Shui Ling rode Hercules.

Hercules said: "Be careful, I want to walk at night."

Shui Ling thought for a moment, then silently took out her sleeping bag and tied it up. Anyway, she was traveling at night and she would be there after a good sleep.

She huddled into her sleeping bag and Hercules started on his way.

Shui Ling has become accustomed to sleeping on the back of Hercules, and can fall asleep even while rocking around.

On the second day, Shui Ling came out and found that it was already dawn and she was very hungry.

Surrounded by a piece of grass, Hercules was lying on the ground, and a large piece of the grass in front of him was chewed.

Seeing that Shuiling had woken up, it swallowed the green vegetables in its mouth and asked, "It tastes good, want a bite?"

Shui Ling laughed dryly, "No, just use it slowly."

She washed up and asked, "Will there be anyone here?"

Hercules looked ahead and said, "There is a lake over there, which is their drinking ground."

After saying this, Shui Ling understood that some nomadic people like to camp near water sources.

Shui Ling found some food and took a bite, "Let's go and have a look."

Hercules stood up slowly and took another bite of grass. "It's really good, try it?"

Shui Ling, "..." Have you ever seen people eating grass?

She lowered her head and pulled out one. The grass here was different. The round grass stems had white stripes, which were very light.

She couldn't help but lick the broken part, and it turned out to be sweet. She chewed it and it turned out to be sweet, very sweet.

"How can it be sweet? I have never seen grass like this."

Hercules said: "It is probably not a native plant. The nutrition inside is good. If it is used as pasture, it will be better than alfalfa."

"But there is a disadvantage. This kind of grass does not grow very high. You don't know how long it has been growing here. It is already blooming."

Shui Ling then took a serious look at it. The tallest grass in this patch of grass was only forty or fifty centimeters, and many of them had tassels. The tassels were as thick as a finger, with small pink flowers blooming on them, which was very elegant.

Hercules said: "Do you want to dig one up and cultivate it? Raising livestock will require a lot of pasture in the future."

"Okay." Shui Ling felt that what he said made sense, so he dug out a piece of grass that had bloomed and put it in a flower pot, then put it in the empty space first.

After digging the grass, Shui Ling walked forward. In fact, there was no lake visible here. There was a poplar forest in front that he needed to pass through.

Sure enough, when I walked through the woods, I saw amber. I saw that the traces had shrunk a lot, and there was a large area of ​​mud on the shore.

There are several wooden houses in the open space not far from the lake. They are built very solidly. It seems that the people who live here have been settling here for several generations.

At the door of the house was a woman with a blue headscarf on her head. She looked to be in her twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she looked like a cheerful person.

She was stunned for a moment when she saw Shui Ling, and then shouted at the top of her voice: "Girl, where did you come from?"

Shui Ling responded: "I'm from the other side of the mountain. Come and have a look."

The woman's face changed and she asked nervously: "You didn't meet anyone?"

Shui Ling knew that she was talking about bandits, but he pretended not to know and said, "Who are they? I live by the sea and have always wanted to know what is in the mountains. I didn't expect that there are other people there."

The woman quickly came to Shui Ling, looked up and down, her eyes full of doubts, "How did such a delicate girl like you climb over the mountain? Even I can't climb over, not to mention this beast, this road is not easy to walk."

Shui Ling pointed at the strong man behind him and said with a smile: "It brought me here."

Hercules shouted in response.

The woman clicked her tongue and exclaimed, "It's really an eye-opener. I've never seen a cow climb over a mountain."

"By the way, my name is Li Hu, what's your name?"

Shui Ling felt that she had heard wrongly. A woman was actually named Li Hu. What was her name?

But she responded politely, "My name is Shui Ling, and that is Hercules."

"Tsk, tsk, the name is really appropriate for a person's watery appearance. The name of a cow is also good. You can see that he is very energetic." Li Hu said with a smile.

Shui Ling was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to keep the conversation going. He couldn't just come up and inquire about the bandits!

Li Hu continued: "All the men here are looking for food. It is the dry season, so we have to save the fish in the lake and eat it slowly."

Shuiling asked tentatively: "Are you the only ones here? I thought there would be a city or village here."

Li Hu glanced at Shui Ling warily and said jokingly: "We are hunting here, the village is far away."

"That's it." Shui Ling knew that she was guarding against him, fearing that he was a spy for the robbers.

Shui Ling changed the topic, "Is the water in the lake drinkable?"

Li Hu smiled and said: "How do you drink the water? We all have mountain springs, but the amount of water in the mountain springs is small now."

"Come, come into the house with me. There is herbal tea. I will pour you some."

Shui Ling nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, eldest sister."

The two entered the nearest house. The furniture in the house was all made of wood and looked neat.

The wooden table is made of logs split in half and then joined together using mortise and tenon technology. It is very strong.

There are pottery pots and pottery bowls on the table, which are relatively rough and look like they were made by themselves.

Shui Ling asked: "You made all these pottery bowls yourself? Your craftsmanship is pretty good."

Li Hu was a little embarrassed, smiled and put a bowl of water in front of Shui Ling.

"Sit down. I made this clay pot from the sticky clay. It's very rough, but it's very useful."

Shuiling took advantage of the situation and sat down, picked up the bowl and drank all the water.

Li Hu looked at Shui Ling in surprise, "You... aren't you afraid that I will give you medicine? There are so many medicinal herbs in this mountain."

Shui Ling laughed: "Sister, she is a good person at first sight, how could she harm me?"

"Silly girl, this person's heart is in his belly. Don't be so stupid in the future. What if something happens to you?"

Shui Ling shook his head, "It's okay. Besides, my Hercules will protect me."

Li Hu pursed his lips, hesitating again and again but still keeping his words, "We had a few men pass by here a while ago, and they didn't look like good people. They went to the other side of the mountain, didn't you meet them?"

Shuiling thought suddenly and said, "There are indeed some people on the other side of the mountain, but they are all dead."

"Dead? How did he die?" Li Hu asked hurriedly.

Shuiling smiled and said: "There was a group of monkeys farming over there. They went to snatch the monkeys' food and wine, but they were killed by the monkeys."

Li Hu put his hands together and bowed, "God bless, these bandits will not die well."
