Chapter 143: Traveling in the mountains
Chapter 143 Marching in the mountains
After identifying the direction, everyone buried their heads and walked forward. Gradually, the vegetation became more and more lush, there were more and more tangled vines, and the trees became more and more diverse and tall and verdant. Humidity is also getting heavier.
The scenery is getting quieter and quieter, and all kinds of flowers, trees, mountains and rocks are very beautiful.
But everyone has no intention of admiring it. Everyone knows that the further you go, the scenery will be better, but at the same time, it must be full of various dangers.
Entering such a mountain, they dare not have any luck and take it lightly.
Everyone is thankful that it is winter and not spring and summer, otherwise it will be even more troublesome. Poisonous snakes, insects and ants are no joke.
The people brought by Zhong Jing are all good players. At first, they looked down on Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Yu Xiaofang, and always felt that they would hold back.
Especially Zhao Liya, a little girl's family, what are you doing to join in the fun! Isn't this something that the girl's family should meddle in!
Unexpectedly, when they were on their way, Zhao Liya was steady and full of energy, and she didn't hold back at all, as did Hu Ling and Yu Xiaofang.
The medicine given by Yu Xiaofang is also very effective. Several people were accidentally bitten by poisonous spiders, poisonous ants, or scratched by poisonous thorns. After using the medicine given by Yu Xiaofang, the swelling and itching quickly disappeared, and even the red and swollen hard bumps It all disappeared quickly.
The crowd changed their prejudices and turned to admiration.
It is not advisable to drive too late in the mountains. The light and shadow changes in the mountains and forests are the most confusing. Once the light is dark, it is easy to get lost.
When the sun was about to set, they stopped.
The biggest advantage of the mountains in Lingnan is that it is relatively easy to find rock caves for overnight stays.
It's just that there are too many of them, and they can't all enter the cave, they can only circle around the outside of the cave.
Yu Xiaofang asked someone to sprinkle some medicinal powder that he didn't know how to mix on the outside, and they moved some big rocks, cut down thorn bushes, cut down a lot of wooden stakes, surrounded the cave with the center, lit a bonfire, and planned to take turns to keep watch at night , stay overnight.
Finding food in the mountains was not a problem. They hunted a lot of birds, dug up yams, and even picked some wild fruits left on the trees by chance, and had a good meal.
They simply set up a trap lasso with bait at the water source and in the dense forest farther away. Early the next morning, someone went to the place where the bait was set and walked around. breakfast.
In this way, there is no need to waste time looking for food early in the morning, which saves a lot of time virtually.
When setting off again, Zhou Hansheng quietly asked Zhao Liya: "Are you tired? Can you still hold on? If you can't walk, remember to tell me."
Zhao Liya smiled "puchi", and couldn't help joking half-truth: "If I really can't walk anymore, can Brother Zhou still help me?"
Zhou Hansheng immediately looked at her with concern: "Are you tired? How about I carry you?"
Zhao Liya never expected Zhou Hansheng's straight ball to catch her off guard. She, who wanted to make fun of others, suddenly lost her position and became the one being molested—but Brother Zhou obviously cared about her and didn't make fun of her. mean.
Zhao Liya scolded herself secretly: Didn't you stop talking? Hurry up? Let's see how you come down!
Even if you can’t get off the stage, you have to get off, otherwise it will be too embarrassing!
"Cough cough cough cough! No, no, not tired, not tired! I, I just assume, just assume, I will not be tired after such a short journey, really."
"But-"
"We're about to fall behind, uh, that, let's, let's go quickly. Brother Zhou, you are such a good person!"
You can never go wrong with issuing a good person card. Zhao Liya's eyes dodged, her eyes rolled wildly, and she didn't even dare to look at Zhou Hansheng again, so she quickly quickened her pace.
Zhou Hansheng smiled, fearing that she would fall, he quickly ran after her, "Aya, slow down!"
Don’t worry, anyway, with him here, you’ll be a few steps behind at most, and it’s impossible to fall behind. He can easily walk to the first place at any time. You can also carry her on your back.
Zhong Jing, who was not far ahead, kept pretending that he didn't hear anything, but he listened carefully with his ears up.
Hearing that Zhou Hansheng offered to carry Zhao Liya on his back, he raised his eyebrows and said "tsk tsk tsk" in his heart, Brother Zhou really cares. That's right, who would not care about such a good little sister Xiaoya who would lead them to make a fortune together? Ah no, he didn't mean anything else, just to be happy for his brother!
Hearing Zhao Liya praise Brother Zhou as a good man again, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth: Good man? hehe! He is also a good person to sister Xiaoya. If it were another girl, even if she rolled down this mountain, he would never go to rescue her personally. Go down and help.
So sister Xiaoya is still too naive.
Seeing people is a bit one-sided and incomplete.
By the way, should he remind me?
Because a molestation failed and she had to make a joke about going down the steps by herself, so much so that Zhao Liya didn't dare to take a frank look at Zhou Hansheng for a long time. Just inexplicably guilty.
Zhou Hansheng acted as if nothing had happened, and still followed Zhao Liya carefully to protect her, reminding her to be careful on her feet from time to time, or stretching out her hand to block the sticking out branches.
After a while, Zhao Liya gradually returned to normal. Brother Zhou didn't have any special reaction, why is she guilty? Doesn't this clearly mean that she has a ulterior motive? this can't work
She covets him and returns to him, but she must not let him notice, is she shameless?
At noon this day, everyone stopped for lunch in a valley with clean water.
Lunch consisted of a few pheasants and hares that were hunted along the way during the half-day, a fat mountain otter weighing about 20 kilograms, a few yams dug by chance, and some wild fruits picked.
The sergeants brought by Zhong Jing were busy digging pits, collecting firewood, lighting fires, handling ingredients, and inspecting the surrounding terrain skillfully. Zhao Liya couldn't intervene. Seeing the wild flowers blooming not far away, she walked over while talking with Zhou Hansheng.
Suddenly Zhou Hansheng pulled her hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Who is it? Come out!"
In an instant, everyone gathered in groups of three or four, their eyes burning and alert.
Zhong Jing glanced around and noticed it instantly. He stared coldly in one direction and shouted sharply: "What are you doing sneakily? Get out! If you don't get out again, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Don't, don't!" The other four people hurriedly appeared, and the leader was a girl of about eighteen or nineteen. All four of them were wearing indigo homemade clothes, their hair was wrapped in cloth scarves of the same color, and they were wearing leggings. The light is not too good and it is very easy to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.
