Chapter 12 The most unprovoked existence
It was almost ten o'clock. If he wanted to return to the village before the sun set, Li Xiao had to speed up. If the trip was delayed, Li Xiao would have to spend the night in the mountains.
Ning Village is surrounded by primeval forests, and even the best hunters would not dare to spend the night in the mountains.
Everyone in the village knows that night in the mountains is a hundred times more dangerous than daytime. Because many animals that are fatal to humans come and go at night, and spend the night in the mountains, which is no different from suicide.
At the beginning, Li Xiao didn't pay much attention to it. This area is close to the village, and villagers often pick wild vegetables here, and there is not much danger.
After walking for about an hour, some low shrubs disappeared, replaced by big trees surrounded by several people. Little gaps were left, and through the gaps, the sunlight sprinkled in the forest, reflecting beams of light, and the scenery was very beautiful.
But Li Xiao didn't have any intoxicated expression on his face, instead he looked cautious.
Only the villagers know the danger here.
This place is already in the depths of the forest, Li Xiao has already activated the perspective ability, and the scene ahead appears in his mind clearly.
Holding a sharp thick-backed machete, he cut off the branches and thorns beside the road, and Li Xiao cut a way forward with difficulty.
After walking for a while, a faint mist rose from the ground. Li Xiao knew that this was the miasma formed by the dead leaves and rotting corpses on the ground. People may even be life-threatening.
Li Xiao took out a small pill and put it in front of his nose, the strong smell made Li Xiao frowned.
This is a kind of pill prepared by his grandfather Li Laojiu. It is light and easy to carry. It is a good medicine to deal with these miasmas, although the taste is a bit unpleasant.
But to be honest, although his grandfather is usually unreliable, his medical skills are not bad. At least in this village of Ning, the villagers have headaches, and they are all seen by Li Laojiu, and often only need a pair of The decoction can cure the disease in a few days.
When Li Xiao was twelve years old, Li Laojiu didn't know whether he disappeared or died, in short, he just disappeared.
With the help of perspective ability, Li Xiao moved forward quickly. Suddenly, his body stopped suddenly, and a terrified expression appeared on his face. His body began to retreat slowly, and after retreating for about a hundred meters, Li Xiao wiped the sweat from his head and let out a long sigh of relief.
With the help of the supernatural ability just now, Li Xiao saw a dark red bulge on the ground not far from him. The height of the bulge is about tens of centimeters, and the range is only a few square meters in size.
However, when Li Xiao saw the bulge, he was frightened.
This dark red bulge is slowly wriggling. If you observe carefully, you will find that it is not a bulge at all. The bulge is made up of densely packed red ants. The bodies of these ants are dark red, about the size of a child's finger belly.
These red ants gathered together, forming clusters one by one, and finally condensed into a raised bulge.
And the swelling that Li Xiao saw just now was wriggling was the result of these ants crawling.
If people with trypophobia see this scene, they will be scared to pee immediately!
Although he didn't know the specific name of this kind of ant, Li Xiao knew that in this forest, this kind of ant colony was the least to be provoked.
Back then, someone accidentally stepped into the bulge, and after three seconds, his body was gnawed into a bone by countless ants, which was very terrifying.
Li Xiao didn't expect that his luck would be so good that he would meet a colony of ants here.
At this moment, Li Xiao was a little thankful that he had supernatural powers, otherwise, once he stepped into the range of the group of ants, the consequences would be disastrous.
With the ant nest in front of him blocking the way, Li Xiao turned to another direction without any hesitation. Perhaps because of the experience just now, Li Xiao became more cautious.
After walking for about a kilometer, Li Xiao finally came to an open field.
Suddenly, Li Xiao stopped, looked at the things in front of him, and smiled all over his face.
For unknown reasons, most of the trees in this open area have withered, and some trees are even cut in two from the middle. It is a completely different world from the surrounding dense and dense forest.
Li Xiao stared at the dead wood in front of him with bright eyes. No, it should be the things growing on these dead wood. The corner of his mouth grinned, and he couldn't help laughing. He was really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow.
Li Xiao never dreamed that he would encounter good things just after entering the forest.
On the surface of these dead trees, dark brown colloids are blooming like flowers. These are wild black fungus.
Li Xiao and his grandfather had studied some traditional Chinese medicine, so they naturally knew the usefulness of wild black fungus.
In terms of food, wild black fungus has thick and delicate meat, tough but not hard, soft but not rotten, smooth and refreshing. It is an extremely precious mountain delicacy. It is even more precious in terms of medicine. It not only has nutritional effects, but also It also has the functions of nourishing qi and strengthening the body, nourishing the kidney and nourishing the stomach, and promoting blood circulation. It can be described as a good medicine that cannot be won.
The most important thing is that these wild black fungus are expensive.
Li Xiao clearly remembered that a few years ago a peddler went to Ningcun Village to collect black fungus, and at that time he gave the price 50 yuan per kilogram. At that time, the price caused a sensation in the village.
Isn't it wild black fungus?
Who hasn't seen anyone living in Ning Village?
As a result, when the villagers rushed into the forest to search, they found that things were not that simple. The wild black fungus is too harsh on the growth conditions. The villagers almost searched the surrounding forests, but unfortunately they did not find much.
Later, someone took the risk and entered the depths of the forest to search, but never came back. It is estimated that he died in the deep mountains and old forests.
This incident also calmed down the villagers. Money is important, but life is their own. If life is gone, what is the use of asking for money? Gradually, the villagers' enthusiasm for wild black fungus cooled down.
Li Xiao knows very well that wild black fungus is very expensive, especially those dried wild fungus, the price is ridiculously expensive. He looked around, the area of the air is very large, and there are thousands of dead trees, perhaps because the conditions here are suitable for the growth of fungus, there are many black fungus growing on each dead tree, clusters and clusters clustered.
"Damn, it's time to send it!" Li Xiao was very excited.
