Chapter 180 Not so easy

"Niu Niu!" A young woman in her thirties suddenly walked over and shouted from afar. Her voice was filled with care and worry. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Niu Niu was fine. Her name was Cai Jinhui, Niu Niu's mother. Although she was not old, the years left a deep mark on her face, and she looked like a woman in her forties.

"Hello, sister-in-law, I came from Tianhua Country. I want to buy some salt here. I wonder if your family has it? I don't want much, just a small bag." Lu Cheng took out a piece of silver. If it was in the city, this piece of silver would be enough to buy a large bag of salt.

"We have nothing extra." Cai Jinhui pulled Niu Niu to her side, looked at Lu Cheng with caution, and shook her head gently. There are few outsiders in this village, and no strangers like Lu Cheng can see each other a year. If Lu Cheng hadn't looked malicious and was not old, she would have asked others to help.

"Mom, the meat is delicious, you can eat it too." Niu Niu stuffed the remaining little meat into his mother's hands.

"Niu Niu eat." The young woman looked at Niu Niu with a loving look on her face. Seeing Lu Cheng's surprise, she said: "Niu Niu fell from a tree when she was young and had her head injured."

"Niu Niu is very cute." Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"Thank you." Cai Jinhui smiled when she heard Lu Cheng praise Niu Niu. Niu Niu has always been regarded as a fool in the village, but in her mind, Niu Niu is always the smartest and most well-behaved.

"Sister-in-law, can you just get from the other families?" Lu Cheng asked. He naturally understood that she was not lying. None of the families here could meet his requirements. The little salt given by Zhou Zhenyun was basically applied to the roe deer. He didn't want to eat food without salt anymore.

"No, if you want to buy salt, you can go to Dinghe City." Cai Jinhui said that she knew the situation in the village very well. Everyone was living a very hard life. If it was something on the mountain, such as wild game, maybe you could get some of it. But salt needs to be purchased from outside, who can buy so much at home at one time?

"Sister-in-law, how far is this place from Dinghe City?" Lu Cheng asked helplessly.

"If you walk east for a long time, you will see the official road. Follow the official road north. If you walk north for another one and a half days, you will reach Dinghe City." The young woman said. Since she got married here, she has been out again. I am afraid that she will rarely have the opportunity to go out in her life.

"It will take two days to get to Dinghe City?" Lu Cheng said in surprise. This has been too long for him.

But what Cai Jinhui said was not that scary, but Lu Cheng's mind did not turn around for a while. The two days Cai Jinhui said were not the same as what Zhou Zhenyun said.

The two days Cai Jinhui mentioned were the time when the village hunter went to Dinghe City. The half day Zhou Zhenyun said was to know that Lu Cheng was at the early stage of the seventh level of internal strength. In fact, if Lu Cheng had the strength of his feet, it would probably take him less than half a day to arrive at Dinghe City.

"If you don't want to go to Dinghe City, then wait here for two days. The men went to Dinghe City three days ago. They will definitely bring back salt, and they should be able to give it to you evenly." Cai Jinhui felt soft when she saw Lu Cheng's embarrassed look.

"Thank you." Lu Chengzhen didn't want to go back and forth for four days for a little salt. It only took him four days to get here from Tianhua City.

"Thank you, then I'll come again tomorrow. Niu Niu. Can you give this to you?" Lu Cheng squatted down and stuffed the remaining roe deer meat into his hands. Today he had a full meal, and even if he didn't eat again for three or five days, it wouldn't matter.

"Thank you brother." Niu Niu said happily. Looking at such a large piece of roe deer meat, his saliva could not be controlled and he stayed there.

"Brother, this is too expensive." Cai Jinhui hurriedly wanted to return the meat. Although her man is also a good hunter, it is not so easy to make a living in the Cangji Forest. Most of the prey they caught had to be exchanged for food in Dinghe City, and she could only eat more in spring and summer.

"I like Niu Niu, this is for him. My name is Lu Cheng, so sister-in-law doesn't need to be so polite." Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"There is a hot spring on the mountain behind us. If you have no place to sleep at night, you can sleep there." Cai Jinhui suddenly remembered one thing. Since Lu Cheng had to wait, he could not live in the village. He could only live there.

"It turned out that it was water vapor caused by hot springs. I thought it was fog." Lu Cheng said that a hot spring should have been led to the village. He looked from a distance and felt that there was fog everywhere, so it was difficult to see the village clearly.

Since Lu Cheng entered the Cangji Forest, he has never taken a bath. It is indeed a pleasure to be able to soak in a hot spring. In the water, Lu Cheng feels safe. The hot spring flowing down from the mountain is very hot. But behind the village, there are several large and small pools built. Obviously, this is the place where hot springs are soaked in the village.

Lu Cheng didn't soak here. He went upstream and walked a few miles before he saw two springs, constantly emitting hot water. Lu Cheng touched it with his hands and found that the temperature was very high and it was not suitable for bathing. Lu Cheng had never seen such a phenomenon before. He released all his sensitivities and found that there was actually a dark river inside the spring. In the belly of the mountain, there were some stones with very high temperatures. When the water of the dark river flowed through the stones, the water was heated.

Lu Cheng felt incredible. He could sense a distance of fifty feet in the abdomen of the mountain, so he naturally wanted to find the answer. He walked slowly forward along the dark river outside the mountain. He walked around the back of the mountain and found that there was originally a place under the abdomen of the mountain, and the stones seemed to have been melted. The temperature inside was very high. Even Lu Cheng's sensitivities seemed to be unwilling to stay in it for too long, just thinking about quickly returning to Lu Cheng's eyebrows.

But behind the mountain, Lu Cheng found several springs. All the groundwater in this mountain should have turned into hot springs. Lu Cheng did not go back. Most of the villages were women and children. If he soaked in hot springs there, it would be embarrassing if he met the women in the village. There was also a place with suitable temperatures behind, and Lu Cheng was soaking beautifully there.

The spring water with the right temperature made Lu Cheng's 36,000 pores open all his body. How comfortable was the other ones. He didn't want to come up at all, so he simply used the turtle breathing technique, held his breath and concentrated, sank his body and began to practice internal energy.

After Lu Cheng left, Zhou Zhenyun and the other two quickly began to arrange various mechanisms and traps to capture the Fengyan Fox. The Fengyan Fox's fur is very expensive, but if it is damaged, its value will be greatly reduced. Therefore, only mechanisms and traps can be used. Only the most wise hunter can shoot the Fengyan Fox's eyes and retain the entire fur intact.

All three of them were high-level warriors. Under Peng Mingge's personal teaching, they quickly mastered the skills. Within a radius of ten miles, hundreds of mechanisms were arranged. As long as there was really a Fengyan Fox nearby, they would definitely not be able to escape.

"Second Master, Fengyan Foxes are like they only come out to find food in the evening and return to the cave early. Should we leave first?" Peng Mingge and others said after they arranged the mechanism.

"Of course, go out first and come again tomorrow morning." Zhou Zhenyun glanced at the sky. It didn't matter if he spent the night in the woods at night, but he had to give this area to Feng Yanhu tonight.

Their departure is naturally not leaving the Cangji Forest. If they want to walk out of the Cangji Forest, they have to walk for at least half a day. If they go out, it will be midnight. And they have to come back tomorrow, which is useless. They walked nearly twenty miles eastward, crossed a mountain, and found a shelter on the hillside and started camping.

Peng Mingge skillfully laid a tent and set off a fire. Lu Cheng gave them half of the roe deer, so he didn't have to worry about food these two days. After the meat was roasted, Peng Mingge silently went to a tree in the distance to watch.

The next morning, the three of them returned to their original place, but searched all the mechanisms and found no trace of Fengyan Fox. Instead, they found several fresh feces of Fengyan Fox, but seeing the feces again did not make Zhou Zhenyun happy. Instead, he frowned tightly and looked gloomy. However, Peng Mingge suddenly picked a few large leaves and collected Fengyan Fox's feces.

"Peng Mingge, what are you doing?" Wu Ruyan looked at Peng Mingge's behavior and was so disgusting that she almost vomited out all the food she ate last night.

"Second Madam, the reason why Fengyan Fox did not enter the mechanism is probably because these mechanisms appear too abruptly. If you could apply some feces on it, you might have a harvest tonight." Peng Mingge is worthy of being a hunter and soon found a solution.

"This is a good idea." Zhou Zhenyun's brows slowly stretched out and he nodded in contemplation.

If Fengyan Fox can be caught, it doesn't matter if she plays with feces. Of course, Zhou Zhenyun and Wu Ruyan will definitely not do anything. When Peng Mingge is done and has to prepare lunch, Wu Ruyan will not let Peng Mingge do anything. She would rather do it herself than let Peng Mingge touch the food again.

But one night, when the three of them rushed back excitedly and were about to capture the Fengyan Fox, they searched all the mechanisms, and where was the shadow of the Fengyan Fox?

"Peng Mingge, are you okay? If not, I'll say it earlier." Wu Ruyan no longer had patience. Seeing Feng Yan Fox's feces everywhere, but Feng Yan Fox didn't take the bait, she was already resentful towards Peng Mingge.

"Second Madam, if the Fengyan Fox was so easy to capture, it wouldn't be so precious." Peng Mingge said with a wry smile. He was also very depressed, but what else could he do?

How many hunters want to catch the Fengyan Fox, but the best hunter may not be able to catch one in a year. You should know that if a hunter only needs to catch a living Fengyan Fox, and his fur is not damaged, it will be enough for him to live for ten years.
