After the camp collapsed, everyone suddenly lost their sense of security and couldn't help but speed up their pace, as if they were as far away from the collapsed place as possible.
As a result, the group of people walked out of the forest half an hour faster than expected.
After leaving the mountain forest, there is a pass in front of you. On the east side of the pass, there is a winding mountain ridge, which is a bit like a wandering python. The pass is like the python's wide mouth, and the hanging bamboo shoots are
The rocks are like the fangs in the mouth of a giant python.
Due to its shape, the locals call this pass Longkou.
Although it is difficult to call it Longkou, dragons are more majestic than pythons or snakes after all, not to mention that the legendary dragons originally evolved from snakes.
When they came to the pass, the guide, Lao Wang and others pulled out a slender bamboo pole.
When Ning Xiaofan saw the actions of the guide, Lao Wang and others, he became extra cautious and used bamboo poles to open the way. Needless to say, there must be snakes entrenched in the pass.
Sure enough, the guide who was ahead turned around and said loudly: "You all must be careful, there are many snakes in the dragon's mouth, most of them are venomous. Don't get bitten."
Everyone heard clearly, and everyone hurriedly looked around for dead bamboo branches, which could be used to drive away snakes.
Ning Xiaofan didn't dare to neglect and went looking for something he could find. Fortunately, there were a lot of dead bamboo branches in the vast mountains. Soon, he found a dead bamboo pole more than two meters long.
After a while, everyone had a snake-repelling tool of different lengths, and even Aunt Xiang picked a long branch somewhere.
As for the little fairy, she seemed to be extremely afraid of snakes. When the guide told her that there were many snakes in the snake's mouth, her pretty face turned pale with fear and her legs seemed to be weakening.
At this time, under the leadership of Guide Liu, Lao Wang and others, everyone began to move towards the pass, and Ning Xiaofan also followed the team towards the pass.
At this time, the little goblin could not move. She looked pitifully at Aunt Xiang and said, "Aunt Xiang, I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, let's follow quickly..." Aunt Xiang, although she is not as scared as the little goblin, her face is not good-looking, and her voice is slightly trembling. After all, snakes are the natural enemy of most women.
"I, I can't walk..." the little goblin said, and her delicate body leaned softly on Aunt Xiang. It seemed that her legs were weak and she was really unsteady.
"Can't walk?" Aunt Xiang had a headache. She raised her eyes and saw that Ning Xiaofan had walked about ten meters away, and quickly shouted: "Xiaofan, wait a moment."
Ning Xiaofan heard Aunt Xiang's shout and looked back, and saw Aunt Xiang waving towards her: "Xiaofan, come here quickly and help me support Miss Lin."
Help the little goblin?
Ning Xiaofan was slightly startled, feeling that the boss was unwilling, but Aunt Xiang opened her mouth and he couldn't refuse, so he walked over.
Ning Xiaofan walked closer and saw the little goblin's pretty face turned pale, her delicate body leaning softly against Aunt Xiang, looking sick, and couldn't help but ask: "Director Lan, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?
?”
The little goblin's lips moved, but he didn't say a word.
Aunt Xiang answered for her: "Miss Lin is afraid of snakes. She has been afraid since she was a child. She heard that there are many snakes in Longkou, so she dare not go in."
Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but sweat: "No matter how scared you are, you have to go in. If you don't go in, won't you be able to turn around?"
Aunt Xiang was also embarrassed for the little goblin, and said with a blushing look on her face: "Xiao Fan, Miss Lin is really scared, you have to help me..."
When Ning Xiaofan saw the little goblin's pitiful look, he felt a little funny and a little gloating about his misfortune. This stinky girl was also afraid. Isn't this retribution in this world? It would be better to be bitten by a snake.
Cursing in his heart, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but reveal a hint of gloating on his face. Coincidentally, this expression was seen by the little goblin.
The little goblin was a ghost, so he didn't know the evil in his heart. He immediately got angry and said, "I don't want your help."
Yeah, if you talk back and don't help me, it will save you trouble.
Ning Xiaofan looked indifferent, touched his nose and said: "Aunt Xiang, it's not my fault, she doesn't want me to help..."
As soon as Ning Xiaofan finished speaking, the little fairy said: "I don't want you to help me, you have to carry me."
Well?
Ning Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this.
Seeing his stunned look, the little goblin felt relieved. There was a cunning look in his eyes: "Yes, I can't walk anymore. You have to carry me across this dragon's mouth..."
"Hey, why should I carry you?"
"Since I am your boss and you are my assistant, my boss has limited legs and feet, so naturally you have to carry it..."
The little goblin still looked half pitiful at this moment, but instead had a look of pride on his face.
Your sister doesn't trip people up like that.
Ning Xiaofan was a little annoyed: "I said you were unreasonable and that you were afraid of snakes. I helped you and carried you. Don't you think it's too much? Your legs and feet are inconvenient? Is your foot inconvenient? Is it twisted?
Or is it sprained?"
"It's inconvenient for me. Do you want to check it? Huh, do you want to carry it? No, it's okay. Don't go into Longkou. Just go home. Humph, since you don't listen to me, then I'll keep you here.
Are you in the team?"
Seeing that the little goblin was talking more and more outrageously, Aunt Xiang hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, don't be willful. The road inside Longkou is very difficult. It's better to let Xiaofan help you."
"I don't, I want him to carry me." The little goblin put on a stubborn posture.
I, Ning Xiaofan, eyes wide open with anger
In anger, I wanted to turn around and leave, so I just returned. In a word, I don't want to serve you anymore.
Ning Xiaofan's thought disappeared just as quickly as it came. Then he thought, wouldn't all the hardships of the past two days be in vain if he left? There was still half a day's journey to the mining area. Only when he arrived at the mining area would he have the opportunity to go there.
Looking for gems. I tried hard, but in the end it was all in vain. I am not willing to accept it.
Ning Xiaofan quickly became discouraged as his thoughts flashed through his mind.
You are cruel
Ning Xiaofan's heart was filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and walked to the little goblin.
When the little goblin saw him walking over with a ferocious look on his face, he felt a little scared: "You, what are you going to do?"
Ning Xiaofan glanced at her angrily, turned around, bent down, and said in a low voice: "Come up..."
Ning Xiaofan turned around and bent down, which was considered a compromise.
The little fairy felt relieved. She breathed in the fragrance, spit out her little tongue, and finally winked at Aunt Xiang proudly.
Aunt Xiang was originally worried that Ning Xiaofan would be unfavorable to the little goblin in anger. Seeing him compromise, she felt relieved. Now when she saw the little goblin blinking proudly at her, she felt angry and funny, but she couldn't bear to lecture her.
What.
At this time, the little goblin had already supported Ning Xiaofan's shoulders, said "Hey", and lay on his back with a very light move.
It's really strange. Previously, the little goblin's feet were soft and his hands were weak. Now that he had grasped Ning Xiaofan's weak spot, his hands were no longer weak and his feet were strong. He felt comfortable and energetic all over his body.
Not only that, the little goblin stretched out her hand to hold Ning Xiaofan's ear with narrow eyes, put her soft lips close to his ear, exhaled Ruolan and said: "Get up, let's go...
A trace of hot breath filled her ears, which was crisp and itchy. Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but shrink his neck, but his heart was full of resentment. He bent the bamboo pole away from her legs, got up and strode towards the pass.
"Hey, be gentle, the bamboo pole hurts me so much." The little goblin cooed.
"Be patient, the bamboo pole is used to kill snakes. If I throw the bamboo pole away, I won't care if a snake comes out..."
"Don't you come here? Give me the bamboo pole and I'll hold it for you."
Several black lines appeared on Ning Xiaofan's forehead. Hey, I can't even think of a small revenge. This stinky girl is born in the year of the monkey. She is a ghost.
After a delay, Fatty and the others, as well as the experts, had already entered the pass and were far away. Ning Xiaofan did not dare to stay any longer, so he called Aunt Xiang and walked towards the pass with the little goblin on his back.
It rained non-stop, and the ground was slippery and muddy. One foot was deep and the other was shallow, making it very difficult to walk.
Ning Xiaofan was carrying the little goblin on his back and thought it would be difficult to walk. However, the goblin on his back was not heavy and was light. And she was lying on his back without causing any trouble. She gently wrapped her arms around his neck.
, behaved very quietly.
There is a small trail in Longkou. I don’t know how it was formed. It is just suitable for people to walk. On both sides of the trail, there is a bush with tangled branches and some unknown weeds. Occasionally, you can see bright wild flowers among them.
And some verdant herbs.
Shennongjia is rich in all kinds of herbal medicines, especially in a deserted place like Longkou. There are many varieties of herbal medicines, many of which are rare.
The most famous ones with unique curative effects are the four herbs unique to Shennongjia.
The names of these four herbal medicines are quite strange, and they are named after four "ones", namely: a flower with seven leaves, a bowl of water by the river, a pen by King Wen, and a bead on the top of the head.
Among them, the herbal medicine "A Pearl on the Head", also known as Trillium, is currently an endangered species and is a national third-level protected plant. The country has banned harvesting.
Ning Xiaofan used to serve in the army or work for China Railway, and he often worked in the wilderness in the barren mountains. He had rich experience and could recognize many varieties of medicinal herbs. When he walked along, he recognized some of the precious ones.
When buying herbs, I can’t help but want to pick some. These herbs can be exchanged for a lot of money.
Of course, this idea can only be thought of. His purpose is to go to the mining area to find more valuable gems. Naturally, he cannot do this kind of thing. What's more, even if he picks precious herbs, he can't preserve them.
Come down.
Herbal medicines can be seen everywhere in Longkou, with almost no damage. Obviously, this place is not a kind place, otherwise, it would not be possible to retain so many rich varieties and precious herbs.
According to the guide, there are many snakes entrenched in Longkou. The group of people walked on the narrow path with caution, and from time to time used the snake repelling tools in their hands to sweep away the bushes and weeds.
Maybe it was because of the rain. I walked all the way and found no trace of snakes.
It was naturally a good thing that no snakes appeared, and the speed of everyone's march gradually increased.
