Chapter 216 Entering the Swamp
216
At dawn, the little bones have got up, cleaned up their tents and went to cook and dine in the villager's humble wooden house, packed some luggage and carried packages to this dangerous swamp.
"Can such a group of delicate young ladies cross this swamp?"
In the wooden house, a strong, thin and dark-skinned man looked at the little bones who were not persuaded and marched towards the swamp, shaking his head very unseemly.
A dark-skinned woman wrapped in flower cloth shook her head and said, "Father, look at how generous these young ladies are. These high-headed horses will be sent. You can follow them in the afternoon and escort them through this 'death swamp'. If you really can't do it, save them back!"
"But they said they didn't need us to lead the way!" The thin man looked at the extraordinary horses tied outside the humble wooden house and said with joy: "With these horses, we will rush to the town to sell a few horses and keep one to ride by ourselves, and we will have no worries about food and clothing in the future! Never mind, just listen to you, and then we will keep up with them!"
The thin man with a gray cloth bag head casually took off a machete with a scabbard on the wall and ran around the swamp.
"His father, you haven't eaten yet, and you don't have a hurry to chase people!"
"I'm going to prepare the herbs. I have to fix it in the afternoon to prevent those guys from being poisoned by biogas."
......
When they first entered the swamp, they didn't feel anything. After running for a few hours, their eyebrows frowned more and more tightly, and the eyebrows on both sides were about to twist to one place.
Yin Jill looked at the wetland under his feet with a headache and muttered, "It's really a ghost. There is no water in the desert, but there is a large water stain here, which has filled my cowhide boots with water!"
Xue Yueer said with a bad face, "I feel that my soles are almost wet!"
Xiaoguding's light skills are better, and he doesn't feel good. He pointed to a big tree and said, "Sister Shan, you go to the tree to rest first, and I'll get you a pair of rattan shoes."
Rock Lion laughed and said, "Don't bother so much. I've already prepared for you!"
Unpacking the big package behind him, the rock lion grabbed a few pairs of cow tendons and hemp shoes and threw them at the three of them. He put the beauty on his shoulder, took out a pair for her, and began to change his shoes.
Xiaoguding took the hemp shoes with a happy face and praised, "Uncle Jiuchi is still thoughtful, otherwise we will be miserable."
The hemp boots are full of dense holes, which are about the same size as their original leather boots, which is suitable for three people to wear.
Yin Jill looked at her hair and muttered over and over again, "Can this thing be worn? What should I do if I accidentally get stabbed by the spike under my foot?
Rock Lion laughed and scolded, "Bad boy, do you think my head is as useless as yours? The hole is folded alternately, and the thorn can't penetrate directly into the soles of your feet unless you jump up desperately. Of course, if you are afraid of wearing that thing and don't think it's too hot, I still have a few pairs of sealed cowhide boots here, which don't get water, but if you accidentally puncture it, there won't be a second pair! I'll throw it to you now. I don't want to carry it for you anymore.
The rock lion had a big hand, and three pairs of boots flew towards them. The boot mouth was as high as the knee, and it was indeed sealed.
Looking at Yin Jill and changing her sealed boots without thinking about it, she laughed, "by the way, I remind you again that I only brought a pair of boots. Don't blame me for being punctured! Also, when you wear these sealed boots and accidentally step into the mud, it will be much more difficult to lift your feet!"
Yinjir said, "I will be very careful!" Anyway, I'm scared when I look at the perforated boots.
On the road again, Xue Yueer, like Xiao Guding, also wore the kind of boots with holes. With one foot down, the sewage did not pass through the instep and also penetrated into the shoes. It felt cold. When I raised my feet, the water ticked back to the grass moss.
The feeling is quite novel.
After galloping for a few hours, Xiaoguding frowned and said, "Uncle Jiuzhi, do you have to walk on such a wet grass in the future? I'm afraid we won't get used to it, and the soles of our feet will be white and wrinkled.
Rock Lion asked strangely, "You boy, how do you even know this?"
Xiaoguding recalled leisurely, "Because when I was very young, when I was caught stealing things from the rich man's house, I was locked in a water cage with my grandfather for several days and narrowly escaped. Naturally, I knew the consequences of soaking in water all day."
Xue Yueer looked at her feet worriedly, "The whiter and wrinkled?" Will it become ugly and uncomfortable?
Rock Lion said, "It's a little ugly, but it won't be a big deal. Just take a few days off! However, this road will not be full of this kind of grassland, and there will be a little dryness, and there will also be mud!"
Yin Jill said with a sad face, "Wrapped in these shoes, I really feel so hot and become like being roasted by the scorching sun in the desert, and there is no coolness at all! There is still that terrible mud behind. Let's go back and take a detour to the snowy mountains.
Xiao Guding sneered and looked at him contemptuously: "I have long expected that a straw bag like you would be difficult to get down for a moment!"
Yin Jill got angry and pointed to the nose of the little bone and said, "From this side, I'm still afraid that I will be chased by some terrible crocodiles. Don't be scared to cry!"
The swamp under their feet, except for one or two raised hard ground, is full of watery wetlands, and even under the green grass moss, there will accumulate water in an instant. At first, I felt fresh. After walking for a long time, it was difficult to walk, and I didn't feel very good.
The scorching sun above their heads was high, and Xiaoguding also began to camp for a barbecue and prepare for today's lunch. After a while, a faint smoke rose in the small woods.
"Wow! They are so fast that they can catch up with my day's journey! It seems that I have to add fuel to catch up with them.
The thin man who had just packed the package looked at the wisp of green smoke in the distance, shook his head, spread his feet, and ran to the foot of the mountain to the green swamp.
On a vigorous fire, some wild geese along the way are baked, as well as some new and tender wild vegetable mushroom soup. With the delicate Mia on the same road, the rock lion deliberately carried a small pot out. He has eaten in his mouth recently, and he doesn't want to go back to the days when he looked at fresh barbecue and drooled.
The rock lion chewed a large piece of fresh meat comfortably and pointed to a small sparse forest above his head and said, "This afternoon, we can walk out of this cool forest swamp. There is a grass depression in front of us, and we have to walk in the scorching sun."
Xue Yueer shrugged her head, looked up at her little hand, which was different from Bai Xi Shengxue, and muttered, "Sun it, sun it. Anyway, Miss Ben is about to tan into black charcoal, and she looks the same as her local black people!"
The rock lion laughed happily: "It's better to get tanned, lest you little girls look at them and look like miserable patients."
Xue Yueer asked Xiaoguding uneastively, "Gu Di, do you think I used to be better-looking?" Or is it more beautiful?"
"In the past, she was a fat, white and tender, delicate and weak daughter of a rich family, but now she has become a vigorous and heroic female chivalrous woman!"
Xue Yueer pouted, "Weak and powerless, have I been so miserable before? Didn't you catch up with the cunning you on the street! No, you haven't answered me yet!"
"Bang!"
Xiaoguding slapped a mosquito and said, "I didn't think it was on the way just now. I found that there were so many mosquitoes here. It's really annoying."
Xue Yueer and others waved away the mosquitoes and flies that turned around from time to time: "It's really popular!"
Rock lion smiled and said, "It's just a barbecue meal. Just drive it away and put up with it. Don't waste the medicine I worked hard to get."
The rock lion cleaned up the exquisite pot, and everyone began to march towards the hinterland of the swamp again.
Gradually, the forest overhead became more and more sparse, and the grass depression became wider and wider until there was no forest, and the little bones were closer to the hinterland of the swamp.
The rock lion carried Mia on his back and didn't feel tired. He was roasted by the scorching sun, and the hot sweat on his body came out.
Mia gently wiped his sweat until she felt that she had become wet all over, as sultry and uncomfortable as sweating in the desert. Above the desert is dry and hot, and here is hot and humid. It feels a little different, but the uncomfortable is the same.
I really don't want to watch the rock lion suffer, Mia persuaded me again: "Nine feet, put me down!" I'll walk slowly by myself!"
Carrying a package and carrying people on their back, the temperature of the two people close to each other did not disperse, and it felt more uncomfortable than in the desert. The rock lion gradually couldn't hold on. He let go of his big hand and let Mia down.
At this time, even if Mia gritted her teeth, Xiaoguding's speed still had to slow down, stopped from time to time, and then simply walked slowly.
Mia looked at it and lowered her head in shame and said, "Mia is really sorry for dragging you down the way!"
Gil said with a smile, "It's too late for me to be happy to see the beauty and me on my way together. How can I dislike it!"
Rock Lion laughed and scolded, "No wonder your boy fell behind slowly. I thought you were as hot and uncomfortable, and you didn't get used to it!"
Yinjil immediately cried and said, "Don't mention it, my legs are burning like fire now, which is uncomfortable. If it weren't for the beauty to see, I wouldn't want to move!"
The rock lion scolded, "Look at your promising appearance. Don't call yourself an old man's apprentice in the future!"
Yangil muttered, "This formal teacher worship ceremony is all right. How can you not recognize it?"
The rock lion stared back and roared, "If I say no, I can't! Unless you are as good as that little murderer, don't mention that I'm your master outside! Ask me to drive you back!"
