As mentioned before, the slopes on both sides of the gravel road were not high, but they were extremely long. Xue Xiang did not expect that he would run with all his strength for half an hour before he reached the foot of the Poison Dragon Slope described by Wang Gang. But what lay in front of him was
It was some kind of earth slope, it was clearly a hill. He even suspected that the two original earth slopes were the remnants of Dulong Mountain.
However, the Dulong Slope in front of us can hardly be called a hill. Because the vegetation on it is withered and the rocks are exposed and towering, it only has the scale of a hill in terms of height. However, the vegetation is sparse, so it can only be called a slope.
.
With the previous experience of being stuck in deep mud, Xue Xiang did not dare to run uphill rashly. Instead, he tested the soil quality at the foot of the slope. It was much harder than the original slope. It was obviously the soil on the Dulong Slope.
Not due to the dense vegetation.
Even so, Xue Xiang did not dare to climb rashly. Instead, he found two broken pieces of wood at the foot of the mountain. He broke them apart with his hands, and then split them into four wide boards. He took the ivy and tied a piece of wood under his feet.
The wide cross increases the cross-section and reduces the pressure when stepping on the soft mud.
Xue Xiang tied up the ivy tightly and moved up the mountain. He looked around and kept shouting, but no one answered.
, in a moment, we were halfway up the mountain, turned around again, and looked down from the mountain. The view was wide open, and everything around us was unobstructed.
With this experience, Xue Laosan no longer just walked and looked and shouted, but ran towards the top. Now that the three minds were united, the speed naturally increased greatly. Dulongpo was just a small hillside after all.
, although there was some weather, it was only more than thirty or forty meters high. Even though the mountain was steep, Xue Laosan went very quickly while immersing himself in hurriedly to avoid the bumps and climb over the ridge.
After another half an hour, Xue Laosan finally reached the top. But he saw that the top of Dulong Slope was a huge open space with extremely flat terrain and dense flowers and trees. It was more than ten times more lush than the slope below. Xue Laosan had just found it.
We found a place with a wide view and waited to look down. Unexpectedly, as soon as we turned around, we heard voices.
"Uncle, are you here to pick mushrooms too?"
Xue Xiangxun looked up and saw a little girl staring at him with wide eyes among the purple peony bushes in the northwest. The girl was only seven or eight years old, and she was as tall as a little guy. She was extremely thin, which made her originally
His melon-shaped face looked even more pointed, and a blue cloth gown hung loosely on his thin shoulders. It actually obscured the little man's trousers. The gown was patched and had numerous holes, showing that it could not be repaired.
There was nothing conspicuous about the little man, except for a pair of extremely bright black eyes, which were staring at Xue Xiang. There was timidity in his eyes, and he hugged the huge basket in his arms tightly, as if he was afraid of this sudden arrival.
Xue Xiang took it away.
When Xue Xiang saw the little man clearly, he was overjoyed and said in surprise: "You are the little flower, right?"
The little person heard Xue Xiang call her name. The little hand was even more shocked, took a step back, and said timidly: "How do you know, but I don't know you."
Xue Xiang was slightly aware of the situation but did not move. He smiled and said, "The second man told me that there is a cashier down below who is paying for mushrooms. He pays two cents per catty. He asked me to tell you to get down quickly."
"Oh, tell Brother Yaozi that I will go down later and collect more and sell more. Then I can buy medicine for my mother." The little man was not cheering for joy, but he was very calm.
In fact, the little man was just wondering if this uncle wanted to trick him into harvesting all the silver needle mushrooms here alone, because no one would pay two cents for a pound of silver needle mushrooms.
It is said that the children of poor people become rich early, but in fact, it is helpless. The suffering of being born taught them too much at an early age, and they also had to learn too much.
Xue Xiang saw that the little man's eyes were rolling with cunning, and he knew that the little man was suspicious. For a moment, he really couldn't think of any words to say, so he couldn't forcefully carry the little man down the mountain.
Xue Xiang was silent here, and the little man suddenly said again: "Uncle, if you also pick silver needle mushrooms, you pick them over there, and I pick them up here. There are many, many, and I will keep the ones you can't fit.
When the basket is full, leave and I’ll give you the rest.”
Hearing what the little man said, Xue Xiang felt a lot of emotions in his heart. Although his little baby was also smart, he was clever at playing and had insight into people's hearts. He could not compare with the little man in front of him.
"I don't pick mushrooms, I just harvest them. I bought Eryazi's mushrooms. I bought all the mushrooms on this mountain. Stop picking them. I bought your mushrooms too." After speaking, Mr. Xue said
San took out a one-dollar bill from his pocket and waved it in the wind.
The red note immediately attracted the little man's attention, "Really?"
"Really!" After speaking, Xue Laosan took the banknote and walked forward. When he got there, he handed the banknote over. Originally, he wanted to find a pocket and stuff it into it, but after searching all over the little man's body, he found that
It's patches, holes, and where there's extra fabric, it's used as trouser pockets.
With a swish, the little man pulled the money over, turned it over in his hand, looked at it for a long time, then held it tightly and handed the basket to Xue Xiang: "Here you go, it should be less than five kilograms. I
I’ll give you the basket as well.”
Xue Xiang was stunned. Only then did he notice the little man's hands. They were just a pair of rotten and smelly steamed buns. The two small hands were red, swollen and covered with hardness.
The scabs on the tiger's mouth of his left hand had festered and pus-filled, and the back of his right hand was covered with dots of acne. Xue Xiang's heart trembled when he took one look at it. Before he knew it, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Uncle, why are you crying?"
Xue Xiang turned around, wiped his eyes, and picked up the little man: "Uncle's eyesight is not good. He sheds tears when he sees the wind. Let's go down the mountain with uncle quickly. Er Yazi, they are still waiting."
The little man nodded, hugged the basket tightly, and asked again: "Uncle, you bought the mushrooms in the mountains. Who can help you pick them? Can you please ask me? I only need a very small amount of money."
The childish words were so heart-wrenching that Xue Xiang felt a pang in his heart, and tears were about to roll out of his eyes. He quickly twitched his nose twice to stop the tears, and gently touched her little hand with his other hand. When he touched the wound, the little man gently
With a slight tremble, Xue Xiang quickly took the small bamboo basket in her hand and said softly: "What disease does your mother have? Is she in the hospital?"
The little man's eyes darkened and he shook his head: "I don't know what the disease is, but I don't like my mother going to the hospital anyway. Every time she goes to the hospital, her face becomes worse and whiter, and she loses all her strength. So,
I want to make money, make a lot of money, and treat my mother's illness."
At this point, Xue Xiang no longer dared to ask any more questions, because every time he heard a sentence, his heart felt like a knife. At this moment, he could not guess what was wrong with Xiaohua's mother. She must have gone to the hospital to sell blood.
, otherwise there is no point in going to the hospital and your health will be worse.
Xue Xiang didn't know what to say. He had never felt so weak and powerless as at this moment. Yes, he had hundreds of millions of wealth in Hong Kong Island, and he had an amazing reputation in Forty-Nine City. In fact, their Xue family was already
It has developed into a huge family. But so what, it can make everyone in the world like
Can children like little flowers afford to go to school? Can every little flower be allowed to sit in a spacious and bright classroom? Can every little flower's mother not be so embarrassed that she has to sell her blood for money... Xue Xiang was full of thoughts and lost his mind
, hugged the little man and hurried forward, but forgot that the danger was gradually approaching.
Because the wind was blowing, it was so strong that the thorns on the mountainside were swaying and dancing wildly, and countless barnyard grasses with withered flowers were swept up into the sky. Xue Laosan completely forgot about being cautious when going up the mountain, and tied up the
He picked up a wooden board to reduce the pressure, but now he was walking with the little person in his arms, and his own weight immediately increased by dozens of kilograms without even realizing it.
With a click, a big hole appeared under Xue Laosan's feet, and the wooden board at the left corner had already sunk in. The mountain wind roared, and a sudden rain came again, making Xue Xiang's long hair fly, and the cold raindrops hit his face, instantly waking him up.
.
Seeing such a situation under his feet, Xue Laosan didn't know that he was in deep danger at this moment. At that moment, he broke his legs, broke the ivy, relaxed the board, and immediately took the horn off the board, just as he was about to put it down.
Xiaohua lowered the weight of her body, and with a loud bang, a huge boulder rolled down from the top of the mountain. The boulder came with great force. It collapsed inch by inch as it passed by, and the rocks all rolled down the slope like a huge tide.
A mudslide broke out!
Xue Laosan was so distraught that he quickly picked up the little bad guy on the ground, threw the small bamboo basket away, and ran towards the mountain in large strides. At this moment, Xue Laosan did the opposite and did what he did because he understood the truth clearly. The mudslide was
A huge natural disaster, human
It is almost impossible to resist, and Xue Laosan has never thought about it. Moreover, the power of the mudslide becomes greater as it goes down the mountain. After all, at the foot of the mountain, the gravitational potential energy has been completely converted into kinetic energy, and the natural momentum is
Shocking.
Besides, Xue Laosan was only about fifty meters away from the top of the mountain at this time. If he went down the mountain, it would be impossible to go faster than the speed of the mudslide. Only going upstream to the top would be a safe place. After all, right now
It was just a small-scale mudslide and did not turn the entire mountain into a landslide.
It was this small-scale mudslide, but the power was still huge. Xue Laosan had not walked a few steps before he was hit by countless flying rocks. The wind was blowing wildly, the rocks burst out, and the soil was as soft as sand. Xue Laosan tried his best to
Shi Wei, every step he took was extremely thick and accurate. Even if he chose to hit a hard rock every time, the foot sink was still ankle-deep. It was laborious to pull it up, but there was no extra strength left to avoid the flying rocks.
Xue Xiang struggled to protect the little man in his arms, bent down and walked slowly diagonally. It took him more than ten minutes to reach the distance of fifty meters.
Xue Shangshang reached the top of the mountain, and the clearing was still solid, but halfway up the mountain there was already mud like rain, and the rocks turned into waves, rolling over and flowing out like rivers. After a few breaths, he heard a loud rumbling, rumbling, and loud sound.
The sound shows a shocking power.
Xue Laosan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly thinking that it was very dangerous, and then he looked at the little man in his arms, his face was red, but he was not at all frightened.
"Are you afraid?" Xue Xiang asked softly.
"I was afraid before, but then I wasn't afraid anymore. My uncle's arms were so warm!" (To be continued) rq!~!
