After identifying the direction, everyone walked forward. Gradually, the vegetation became more and more lush, with more and more entangled vines, and the trees became more diverse and tall and lush. From time to time, gullies and water could be seen flowing, so that in the forest,
The moisture is getting heavier and heavier.
The scenery is getting quieter and quieter, and the various flowers, plants, trees and rocks are particularly beautiful.
But no one has the intention to appreciate it. Everyone knows that the further you go, the better the scenery will be, but it will also be full of dangers.
Entering such a mountain, they didn't dare to take any chances or take it lightly.
Everyone was thankful that it was winter and not spring or summer, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome. Poisonous snakes, insects and ants were no joke.
The people Zhong Jing brought were all good players. At first, he looked down on Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Yu Xiaofang, always feeling that they would hold him back.
Especially Zhao Liya, a little girl's family, why are you joining in such a fuss? This is not something that this girl's family is meddling in!
Unexpectedly, when they were on their way, Zhao Liya was steady and full of energy, not holding back at all, and so were Hu Ling and Yu Xiaofang.
The medicine given by Yu Xiaofang is very effective. Several people were accidentally bitten by poisonous spiders and ants, and scratched by poisonous thorns. After using the medicine given by Yu Xiaofang, the swelling and itching were reduced quickly, and even the red and hard bumps were reduced.
All disappeared quickly.
Only then did everyone change their prejudices and start to admire him.
Don’t be too late when traveling in the mountains. The changing light and shadow in the mountains and forests are the most confusing. Once the light dims, 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 easier to find rock caves where you can stay overnight.
It's just that there were a lot of them, so not all of them could enter the cave. They could only circle around the outside of the cave.
Yu Xiaofang asked someone to sprinkle some unknown medicinal powder on the outside. They moved some big rocks, cut down thorn bushes, and chopped a lot of wooden stakes. They formed a circle around the cave and lit a bonfire. They planned to take turns to keep vigil at night.
, spend the night here.
Finding food in the mountains was not a problem. Everyone hunted a lot of birds, dug yams, and even picked some wild fruits that were lucky enough to be left on the trees, and had a good meal.
I simply set up baited traps and nooses at the water source and in the distant jungle. Early the next morning, someone went to walk around where the bait was set. Sure enough, I found something, which was just right for making
breakfast.
In this way, you don't have to waste time looking for food early in the morning, which saves a lot of time.
When setting off again, Zhou Hansheng quietly asked Zhao Liya: "Are you tired? Can you still hold on? If you can't walk anymore, remember to tell me."
Zhao Liya smiled and couldn't help but joke half-seriously: "If I really can't walk, 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 that Zhou Hansheng's straight ball caught her off guard. She had wanted to tease someone, but her attitude suddenly changed and she became the one being teased - but Brother Zhou clearly cared about her and did not tease her.
the meaning of.
Zhao Liya secretly cursed herself: Did you speak back without restraint? Did you speak back quickly? Let’s see how you got off the stage!
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, I'm not tired, I'm not tired! I, I'm just making assumptions, just making assumptions. I'm not tired after such a short journey, really."
"But--"
"We're going to fall behind. Uh, well, let's go quickly. Brother Zhou, you are such a good person!"
You can never go wrong by handing out good guy cards. Zhao Liya's eyes dodge and her eyes roll around. She doesn't even dare to look at Zhou Hansheng again and quickly speeds up her pace.
Zhou Hansheng smiled and quickly chased after her for fear that she would fall, "Aya, slow down!"
Don't worry, anyway, with him here, you will be a few steps behind at most. It is impossible to fall behind. He can easily reach the first place at any time. He can also carry her on his back.
Zhong Jing, who was not far ahead, kept pretending not to hear anything, but in fact he listened carefully with his ears raised.
Hearing Zhou Hansheng take the initiative to express his intention to carry Zhao Liya, he raised his eyebrows and shook his head in his mind, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
Are you reluctant to give up? No, he has no other intention, he just wants to be happy for his brother!
When he heard Zhao Liya praising Brother Zhou as a good person again, he couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth: Good person? Haha! He is only a good person to sister Xiaoya. If it were another girl, even if he rolled down this mountain, he would
I would never rescue him personally. At most, I would send a subordinate to help out of the mentality of a normal bystander.
So sister Xiaoya is still too naive.
Seeing people is a bit one-sided and incomplete.
By the way, should he remind me?
Because the teasing failed and she had to find a joke on her own, Zhao Liya did not dare to take a frank look at Zhou Hansheng for a long time. She felt guilty for no reason.
Zhou Hansheng, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He still followed Zhao Liya and carefully protected her, reminding her to be careful about where she steps from time to time, or reaching out to block branches that stuck out to get in the way.
After a while, Zhao Liya gradually returned to normal. Brother Zhou didn't have any special reaction. What was she guilty of? Doesn't this clearly mean that she has evil intentions? This is not okay.
She covets him, but she must not let him notice. Doesn't she want to lose face?
At noon that day, everyone stopped to rest and have lunch in a valley with clean water.
For lunch, we had a few pheasants and hares that we had hunted along the way for half a day, as well as a fat mountain otter weighing about twenty kilograms, as well as a few yams that we dug up and some wild fruits that we picked.
The sergeants brought by Zhong Jing were skillfully digging holes, collecting firewood, making fires, processing ingredients, and inspecting the surrounding terrain. Zhao Liya couldn't help but was busy. She saw the wild flowers blooming not far away, and walked over while talking to 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 small groups, their eyes glaring and alert.
Zhong Jing glanced around and noticed it instantly. He stared coldly in one direction and shouted sternly: "What are you doing sneaking around? Get out! Don't blame us for being rude if you don't get out!"
"No, no!" The other four people hurriedly appeared, and the leader was actually a girl of about eighteen or nineteen. The four of them were all wearing indigo homespun clothes, with the same color cloth wrapped around their hair, and wearing leggings.
It is very easy to hide in deep mountains and old forests where the light is not very good.
