0174 Fulfilling the Promise
During this week, the young couple who had left their contact information before, namely the two of Dong Yue's book friends who first came to Zhongpai Township, contacted Zeng Zhi again.
According to Zeng Zhi's suggestion, they visited all the attractions in Zhongpai Township, and still wanted to explore Nanwushan.
After contacting again, Zeng Zhi also learned the name of the young couple. The woman was named Xu Qian and the man was named Xiao Dezhou. Both of them were from the main urban area of Jiangdu, which was also the reason why they were the first to arrive in Zhongpai Township.
Because Zeng Zhi finally did not break his promise, so he decided to take the couple to Nanwu Mountain.
After some preparation, the three of them quickly prepared and set off.
Because today I will not go deep into the depths of Nanwu Mountain, but only walk around the middle of Nanwu Mountain, Zeng Zhi and the others did not bring camping equipment, which can be regarded as a light car.
Zeng Zhi and the other two packed some necessary equipment, food, seasonings on their backs, and brought their home crossbow and a hunting rifle, put on camouflage uniforms and set off.
In the past, almost every household in the village had hunting rifles, and some even had standard weapons. However, in recent years, local governments' gun payment policy has been implemented more and more strictly, and the number of weapons of destruction in the village has dropped sharply.
……………………
The mist in Nanwu Mountain in the early morning was hazy, like a fairyland. Zeng Zhi and the other two went deeper into Nanwu Mountain step by step, accompanied by the crisp sound of birds.
Zeng Zhi and the others did not choose to enter Nanwushan from Zengjiagou, because tourism development has begun in that area, and inspectors are patrolling at any time. Zeng Zhi did not want to deal with those people, so he chose another place called Monkey Gou to enter the mountain.
It is no different from the nearby mountains. Monkey Gou is full of various broad-leaved and coniferous forests, and these areas are all primeval forests, which are not visited all year round. Except for the ancient tea-horse road left by the horse gang and the trails opened by hunters and herb collectors, these primeval forests can no longer find any other way.
Because Nanwu Mountain has sufficient water and suitable climate, and various weeds, trees and vines grow very fast, the original roads are often covered in a short period of time and no trace can be found. Therefore, even local mountain people who are extremely familiar with Nanwu Mountain dare not easily go deep into the depths of Nanwu Mountain alone.
Therefore, even though it has entered the 21st century, this mountain is still a mysterious place for most people.
Zeng Zhi didn't dare to go too far. At most, he would take this young couple to fight hares, pheasants and the like before the middle section of Nanwu Mountain, and it would be fun.
In front of Zeng Zhi and the other two, the Golden Tiger and Golden Retriever who turned into kittens and the Silver Wolf Xiaoyin, who turned into puppy, set off the way, constantly alarming the birds, squirrels and various insects in the forest, which added a bit of lively atmosphere to the original fund's forest.
This young couple is understandable about Zeng Zhi bringing the silver wolf Xiao Yin. After all, this is a big white dog, but Zeng Zhi actually brings a golden cat, which makes the young couple a little confused.
However, as the owner, Zeng Zhi didn't have the nerve to ask.
Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise the golden tiger and golden retriever would definitely vomit blood depressedly. Is it obviously a ferocious golden tiger? Is it related to the golden silk cat?
The silver wolf, Xiaoyin, will definitely not be much better, Big White Dog? It is obviously a powerful wolf king, okay?

Monkey Valley is the outer periphery of Nanwu Mountain, while Nanwu Mountain is the remnant of Wushan Mountain Range, which is affiliated with Wuling Mountains in geography. Nanwu Mountain is the dividing line between the second and third steps in China. The highest altitude is nearly 3,000 meters, and the height difference is 2,000 meters from Zhongpai Township, which is at the foot of the mountain.
The original ecosystem of Nanwu Mountain is very well preserved, and the climate changes in the mountains are abnormal. Especially in the summer and autumn, it rains very much. It often appears in the crowded Zhongpai Township, which is hot and scorching, but it is raining heavily on Nanwu Mountain a few kilometers away.
Zeng Zhi and his group followed the mountain path opened by the herb collectors and left the village and plunged into the mist-covered jungle.
In August, the Jiangdu is still like a stove, but in the early morning of Nanwu Mountain, the temperature has dropped to 14 or 5 degrees. Coupled with the invasion of mist, it makes people feel cool. So the three of them put on autumn clothes, and as for rain gear, it is even more indispensable.
Zeng Zhi took the mountain knife to open the way and slashed the vines, weeds, branches, etc. in front of him. Only then did he find a way forward with difficulty.
The altitude of the foot of Nanwu Mountain is only about 900 meters. Combined with the latitude of this place, it has a very rich subtropical jungle characteristics. Various broad-leaved forests and epiphytic vines grow very fast. While creating a paradise of animals and plants, it also brings certain troubles to Zeng Zhi's travel.
The young couple Xu Qian and Xiao Dezhou obviously have some experience in survival in the wild. They carried crossbows and hunting rifles respectively, observed the surrounding environment vigilantly, and were guarding against the beasts that suddenly appeared in the jungle, with a focused expression.
Although Nanwu Mountain is the most abundant time in summer and autumn, and there are few precedents of starving beasts attacking humans, Zeng Zhi and others dare not be careless at all.
According to the legend of the old man and the scientific investigation survey in recent years, Nanwu Mountain lives in South Wu Mountain, which includes South China tigers, clouded leopards, snow leopards, wild boars, black bears, wild wolves and other beasts, so for ordinary people, Nanwu Mountain is still full of crises.
Especially not long ago, there was news that more than a hundred wild wolves appeared in Nanwu Mountain, and Xu Qian and Xiao Dezhou were even more cautious.
As for Zeng Zhi, who knew the truth, he did not take it lightly. The giant python he encountered last time was afraid of even the two monsters, Golden Retriever and Xiao Yin.
Nanwu Mountain has rich plant resources. Zeng Zhi has discovered precious medicinal materials such as Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum, Dendrobium officinalis, Eucommia ulmoides, Codonopsis pilosula, Codonopsis pilosula and other precious medicinal materials, as well as rare tree species such as Metasequoia and Ginkgo.
But this time he took Xu Qian and Xiao Dezhou to the mountains to have fun, so he naturally ignored these rare plants.
……………………
When Xu Qian saw Zeng Zhi raise his hand to signal An Jing, she realized that she had discovered something ahead.
Xu Qian leaned forward and looked through the sparse branches of the bushes. She found that on the grass by the stream not far away, a group of pheasants were digging for herbs, making "cuckling" sounds from time to time.
When seeing these pheasants, Xu Qian, as a foodie, could not see the girl's reserve at all, and her saliva immediately showed signs of water flooding Jinshan.
