Pet King

Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577-barren village

?

If it wasn’t for Fati’s help with the Wolf Pack, which was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, the tree would not have fallen so easily. Zhang Zian did not dare to approach a half-fallen tree rashly. It was like setting off fireworks. The fuse had clearly burned out, but the firecrackers were still quiet. At this time, it was risky to go forward to check or leave it alone.

The cat elves could help, but the cats were too light. Even with fina, it would not be enough ...

“What are your eyes looking at?”

Fina noticed his gaze and immediately asked in a cold voice.

“Meow meow meow! This servant will help Your Majesty dig out his pair of thieving eyes!” Snowy Lionet clamored and bared its fangs.

Zhang Zian immediately explained,”I wanted to tell you to get on the car. No, get on the bridge!”

Although the tree had fallen, he didn’t dare to go directly onto the bridge until he was sure that it was stable. He was still carrying large and small bags, which made it difficult to balance. If he walked on the bridge and the bridge suddenly rolled sideways, he would fall into the water with his bag, and he couldn’t count on the elves to save him.

The other Elfins crossed the bridge safely one by one. Richard even flew a few rounds on the river to show off his wings, so he did not need to cross the bridge.

He pushed from the side and felt that it was quite stable. He first threw the hiking stick to the other side of the river and carefully crossed the bridge. He stretched out his arms as if he was walking on a tightrope to help maintain his balance. He tried not to pay attention to the rapid current of the river and finally crossed the river safely.

As for the herd of deer that was following them from a distance, crossing the river was not a problem for them. Whether they walked over a tree bridge, jumped over it directly, or even swam across the river, it was not a problem. After all, deer had a strong jumping ability, and they were not afraid of getting their bodies and backpacks wet like Zhang Zian.

After crossing the river, there were no more obstacles in front.

After walking for about an hour, the sky in the forest turned dark early, and it became dark before evening.

There was no water source in the surroundings, and the deers did not dare to come close due to the presence of the wolves, so he could not count on the deers to help him find water again.

It was absolutely impossible to not have water. If they still could not find a water source by the time the sky turned completely dark, they would have a very difficult night.

Zhang Zian was hesitating. Should he turn back downstream for a while, or should he continue forward and try his luck to find a water source?

“By the way, Fati, other than the river we just passed, where is the nearest water source?” He remembered that he should be able to ask the Wolf Pack about the situation, so he asked.

Fati called back the pack of wolves running in front of him and asked them with a low growl.

Zhang Zian quietly waited for the result of the communication between it and the Wolf Pack, and took a breath.

After a while, Fati said in surprise,””There’s no water source, but I heard from them that there’s a village not far ahead. ”

“Ah? A village?”

Zhang Zian was shocked. The fact that there was a village in the primeval forest was no less of an impact to him than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

“Didn’t you say that the only human settlement nearby is where Peter Lee and his team are?” He asked.

“Yes, I am.” Fati nodded calmly.”Because this village has been abandoned for a long time. The wolves found it when they came here before. At that time, there was no one in the village, but it’s not quite accurate to call it a village because there were only a few houses.”

“I see ...”

Zhang Zian looked at the sky. If they couldn’t find a water source, they might as well spend the night in the abandoned village instead of camping in the wild.

In addition, he considered that since there were people living here, perhaps the villagers had a way to solve the water problem. They couldn’t carry a load to the river to get water every day, right?

“Alright, let’s ask the Wolf Pack to lead us there.” He said.

Fati growled a few more times, and the pack of wolves that received the order turned in another direction.

Zhang Zian and the Elfins followed behind.

After walking for a while, they found a path that looked like a pedestrian path in the forest. Although it was covered with weeds, they found a vague road sign on the side of the road.

After following the arrow for a few more minutes, a mini village appeared in front of them.

Just as Fati had said, the so-called village only had a dozen houses scattered around. Some were made of stone, some were made of wood, and some were half-stone and half-wood. The windows were all dark, and it looked ghostly.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be shocked when they suddenly saw these houses while walking in the forest. They might even think that it was a haunted house. However, Zhang Zian was not very afraid. The ghostly atmosphere was just a psychological effect. Compared to ghosts, humans were more terrifying existences.

“Is it the residence of the hunters in the forest?” Old time tea asked.

Zhang Zian shook his head.”No, hunting has been banned here for a long time, unless you have a hunting license or you don’t care about the law.”

Even if there were hunters in the forest, they could just build a small wooden house to rest, just like the old soldier Mike. These houses were obviously used as long-term residences.

Outside the houses, there were tables, chairs, and carts for people to cool off. Some houses even had old swings behind them. There was even a red Chevrolet from the 1960s. The paint had peeled off and was covered in pine leaves and leaves.

Some of the houses had their doors wide open, while others had their doors and windows tightly shut. However, from many signs, the owners of the houses did not seem to be in a hurry when they left.

“Look over there.”

Zhang Zian pointed to the side and said,”it’s the stables and beehives. I understand now, this used to be the residence of beekeepers and Wrangler. ”

Next to a house, there were many wooden boxes arranged in an orderly manner, and a wooden canopy was set up on top to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Further away, a long row of stables blocked a house like a wall, and the food trough in the stables was also covered with dead leaves.

The beekeepers and Wrangler were like wild Geese, moving between places periodically. They moved to where flowers bloomed and where the aquatic plants were abundant. When the flowering period came and the aquatic plants were withered, they would move to other places.

This place used to be one of their fixed migration locations, but no one knew when it started. Perhaps it was because of the continuous commercialization of California, the traditional industry had declined, and beeking and horse herding were no longer enough to fill their stomachs. The owners of the houses gradually stopped visiting this place, and it became an abandoned village.

If he was not wrong, the beekeepers and Wrangler who used to live here might have been Native Americans.

The history of the Native Americans in the United States was a coffee table filled with cups.

After solving the problem of why the village was abandoned, everyone was at ease. Otherwise, they would have been thinking about this problem for the entire night.

In any case, they finally didn’t have to stay in a tent tonight.
