Go into the mountains, go into the mountains now!
Since we are coming to the wild, of course, the more wild things, the better. A group of people briefly discussed and left Xue Pan's two guards to collect firewood and look after the horses at the mountain pass. The remaining people brought their things and went into the mountain to take a look.
, I didn’t plan to climb to the top of the mountain, I just wanted to wander around and see if I could catch a hare or something to add some food. After all, all the cakes and stuff had been killed...
This is not a scenic spot, there are no steps and railings, only winding and rugged mountain roads. The only good thing is that there seem to be hunters living on this mountain, so they don't have to open their own roads and just walk forward along the paths blazed by their predecessors.
Lao Qiu was leading the way, and behind him was Xiao Han, whose tired legs were shaking. However, although his legs were tired, listening to the chirping of warblers behind him and looking at the picturesque scenery was a unique experience~
In fact, Xiao Han always feels that autumn is the best season for mountain climbing. There is no humidity from spring rain, no harassment from summer insects, and occasionally you can see some wild fruits hanging on the trees. The red, yellow and orange ones are particularly attractive.
The happiest people in the team were none other than Xiaodong and Lengzi. After they entered the mountain, they were like two wild monkeys letting go of the rope. They scurried here to pick two fruits and ran there to dig a bird's nest.
A group of women shouted from time to time, instructing the two over-energetic guys to climb up the big tree and pick the wild fruits they wanted.
Naturally, the beauty has greater reputation than the Marquis, so the two of them were happy to oblige with this trivial request.
No, it didn't take long for their collapsed bamboo baskets to be filled with all kinds of trophies.
He didn't know what kind of wild fruits they were, but when he saw birds pecking at them, Xiao Han knew that they were probably not poisonous.
I picked up a red fruit that looked like a cherry tomato and took a tentative bite. It was sour and a little sweet, and it didn't seem unpalatable.
"Monkey, monkey!!!"
As soon as he swallowed a fruit, someone yelled next to him. Xiao Han was so shocked that he quickly dropped the fruit in his other hand. Didn't I feel sore? As for calling me a monkey?
Dissatisfied, Xiao Han turned around to see who was calling, but he found that everyone was looking at the tree. He followed their gazes and immediately became happy. It turned out that there were really monkeys, and there were more than one.
Only.
Lao Qiu was at the front, squinting at the top of the tree, then carefully took off the bow and arrow from his back, held a carved feather arrow, and prepared to open an account for this mountain trip.
When Xiao Han saw this, he also stared at Lao Qiu with bated breath. He had heard about the name of monkey brain for a long time. In later generations, he did not dare to eat it and had no chance to eat it. However, in the Tang Dynasty, there were not so many taboos.
It is said that this thing has turned the world upside down. He is an out-and-out little overlord on the mountain. He steals things from households, lifts off people's roofs, and even goes down the mountain to harm crops. He does absolutely everything, and killing him is equivalent to eliminating harm for the people!
The bow was drawn, but the arrow was gone. At some point, there were several women in front of Lao Qiu, with their embroidered eyebrows raised up, and their hands on their hips, chirping and decrying why he wanted to hurt these cute little guys...
Lao Qiu, who had never been good at words, was retreating after being talked about. His eyes accidentally turned to the side, only to find that Xiao Han, who had just encouraged him to shoot the next one, had also joined the team to denounce him with an angry look on his face...
After eating the monkey brains, Xiao Han and the women looked like they were winning a battle, holding their faces in their hands and looking at the monkeys on the tree. The women looked at the cuteness of the monkeys. It is not clear what Xiao Han was looking at, but
Brother, you can just wipe the corners of your mouth clean and then look...
I don’t know what species these monkeys on the mountain are, but they are quite good-looking. They are sitting on high branches or hanging upside down on old vines, and they are all looking at them with their round little eyes, but they are also very good-looking.
After only watching it for a short while, I probably felt that these guys walking on two legs were not fun, so I squeaked and crawled from the tree crown into the depths of the mountain forest.
"The monkey ran away..."
Xiao Han saw Xue Pan reluctantly looking away from the distance... But why are you looking at me? I am Lord Marquis, not Grandpa Monkey. Do you want to listen to these great sages...
The undeveloped mountain forest is a natural treasure land. Just now, Xue Pan and the others were depressed because all the monkeys ran away. In the blink of an eye, they saw clusters of small umbrella-like mushrooms growing behind the shade of the trees.
"Ah, mushrooms, there are mushrooms here!"
Xiao Min, who discovered the New World, was like Xiao Han who saw gold. She screamed in surprise and pulled Xue Pan to run over to pick mushrooms. The remaining women ran even faster, even those who had already
Some pregnant women were no exception, and Zhang Qiang was so frightened that he quickly ran there with him.
"There are some here, there are many here! Xiao Han, let's make mushroom soup for lunch today!"
Xiao Min, who was cheering for joy, held up a palm-sized mushroom and shouted at Xiao Han. She didn't take the basket, but simply lifted up Zhang Qiang's skirt to hold the mushroom. No matter when, people always have an inexplicable feeling about harvesting food by themselves.
The feeling of excitement, especially when there is no need to spend money, is extremely strong. Xiao Han still remembers how delicious it was when he stole corn and sweet potatoes when he was a child. When he grew up, he would buy them and cook them, but he still couldn't remember them.
It doesn’t have that taste anymore…
"mushroom soup……"
Xiao Min and the others were extremely excited. Unfortunately, Xiao Han only took one look at the mushrooms on Zhang Qiang's clothes and decided that he would not let these women cook for lunch, not even for the evening!
There were none of the delicious, juicy, ugly-looking good mushrooms. They were colorful and extremely bright at first glance, but there were a lot of bad mushrooms that might not poison them.
And listening to what they said, they even thought of saying that they had never eaten such beautiful mushrooms before. Little did they know that if you had eaten them, you would have been lying quietly under the ground by now, and there would be no need to harm these innocent poisonous people here.
Mushrooms...
There were a lot of mushrooms in the shade of the trees, and there were too many to pick up. After finally waiting for these prodigal women to have enough fun, Xiao Han quickly threw all the mushrooms into the ravine while they were not paying attention, and then put the oyster mushrooms he picked away.
In the basket, he didn't live enough and didn't want to die so early.
There was mud everywhere when picking mushrooms. They didn't bring much water when they went up the mountain, so they couldn't waste it casually. So at Xue Pan's suggestion, the group went to find water.
handwashing.
The fool was very lucky, and he found a small spring very quickly. It was said to be a spring, but in fact it was not a common spring with gurgling water. Instead, it was a small spring like a jade bowl, embedded in a large
On the black stone, the magical thing is that there is no more spring water and no less water, just like a bowl of water.
The fool who discovered the spring circled the big stone twice. When everyone gathered around, he tentatively took a handful of water with his hand.
The jade bowl-like spring was missing half of its water, and water immediately started pouring out from a small black hole at the bottom. When the water was full enough to fill the small bowl and almost flowed down, it stopped automatically, as if there was a switch.
It is very magical, and a group of people watching it are amazed. The magic of nature makes people wonder.
When I walked over, I found that there were many animal footprints on the mud next to the stone. It seemed that this was a water source for the small animals around here, which meant that the water should be drinkable. Xiaodong saw the spring water filling up and was about to
He leaned over to take a sip, and was hit hard on the head by the stupid uncle.
"Idiot, if you drink water like this, let others drink it!"
Xiaodong squatted aside in pain, touching his head with both hands, and thought in dissatisfaction: I didn't bring a cup when I went out, and the water bag I brought obviously couldn't fit into this spring bowl. What should I do? Hold it with your hands and drink?
What's the difference between that and drinking it with your mouth?
However, you can only think about these words, and never dare to say them out, because even if you are right and reasonable, you will inevitably get beaten again later, otherwise you will become angry...
Jiang is so old after all. After knocking Xiaodong, Uncle Lunzi remembered that when he came here, he saw bamboos growing on the roadside. He returned there with a knife, chopped down a moso bamboo several times, and selected a few of moderate size.
With a few cuts of bamboo joints, a bamboo cup appeared in front of Xiao Han and others.
The clear spring water tasted sweet to drink. Not only did the women in the team have never experienced such a life, but even Xiao Han and Zhang Qiang were enjoying it and no longer seemed to blame each other at the beginning.
The spring water was very good, but the water came out a little slowly. I washed my hands sparingly and filled a few more bamboo tubes to drink on the road.
After walking all the way, he felt a little tired. He sat at the spring and leaned against the rocks to rest for a while. Xiao Han, with his eyes half closed, suddenly noticed that the bush in front of him suddenly moved.
At first, Xiao Han thought it was dazzling. He rubbed his eyes and looked over, but suddenly he found a small head sticking out from the bush, curiously looking at the group of monsters occupying their water source.
"Pheasant! There is a pheasant here, Xiaodong, Xiaodong, get the crossbow!" Xiao Han almost jumped up with excitement. If he hadn't been afraid of scaring it away, Xiao Han would have wanted to perform a show of catching a chicken with his bare hands...
"Pheasant? Where?"
Xiaodong, who was just scratching his head, was called by Xiao Han. He suddenly raised his head and saw this very curious pheasant.
Not only is he very curious, but he also seems to be very courageous. He even pointed the crossbow arrows in his hand at it, and he even dared to scream. How can he bear it?
Xiaodong didn't need to urge him, Xiao Han pulled the trigger hard, and the three short arrows went straight towards the pheasant at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye. This pheasant was unlucky. It couldn't be hidden well and had to come out to shoot.
Hey, hey, hey, now he’s at grandma’s house...
Two of the three arrows hit it, and the huge force blasted them out from behind the bushes. The fat body was carried by the huge power of the crossbow arrows and flew directly to the big tree behind!
In this way, the power of the arrow is still there, and the arrowhead made of fine steel is completely submerged into the hard tree trunk. The poor pheasant probably doesn't know how he died before he died!
