Chapter 3 Section The Way Home
On the way back to the cave, Xiaoqiong and Erhei picked some fresh spicy flowers by the way. In fact, there were still a lot of them that were picked a few days ago. However, the spicy flowers are very small and difficult to pick. Xiaoqiong mainly wants to collect more and dry them. In winter, they will be used as seasonings or sent to the mountains.
Xiaoqiong used to pick fruit one by one, but now it is a small string of scissors, and then it is packed in a plastic bag. After lunch, when she is free, she removes the thin poles on the spicy flowers with the you er. Xiaoqiong stood high and cut them off in a string. The��er stood low place and caught it. In his pocket, Erhei ran without a trace, and the old wolf also followed him. Xiaoqiong knew what he had done. Her heart was sweet, like drinking honey. Fortunately, they still left them under the spicy tree and helped her open their pockets.
The sun burned so that people began to sweat. Erhei also came back and took the newly knitted willow hat. This kind of willow branch, Xiaoqiong and Erhei saw it when they came to the mountain forest for the first time. It grew on the edge of the dipping ditch, with dense branches and leaves. Many leaves hung on the branches, hanging from the main pole and fluttering. Yang, flying in the wind, like a dancing light note, makes people feel that the vitality of spring is so vigorous, so soft, so fresh, so fresh.
This kind of hat made from willow branches is very cool, but there are a few green caterpillars attached to the top of the willow leaves. When you pick it, you will be stared and bite if you don't pay attention to it. However, Xiaoqiong is not worried about this. The second black skin is rough and thick, and there is a lot of hair on her body. She is not afraid of these caterpillars staring at it at all, even if she finds the willows. There are caterpillars on the leaves, and he will also take those caterpillars off or directly from the willow leaves, and then weave them into hats for Xiaoqiong to wear.
Xiaoqiong wears a two-black willow hat, and she doesn't feel hot. Her fair skin looks whiter under the willow hat, with a natural and warm smoothness, with a natural and beautiful luster in the sun. Having such beautiful skin is a kind of lotion that Xiaoqiong invented to protect herself when she first entered the mountain for hiking. In addition, the result of her being imprisoned in this cave for more than half a year.
Xiaoqiong picked the spicy flowers and fell on Erhei's back. The same was true. The two beasts ran to a dense forest on the top of the mountain. This dense forest seemed to be formed naturally, but if they wanted to walk in, they didn't know the secrets and organs here. It was impossible to enter. It was nothing more than an airborne landing.
The outermost layer of this tree is some dwarf bushes, which are the kind of red clay plateau species that can be seen everywhere. There are also some green vegetation on the ground. These vegetation is high or low. One foot can cover your feet, which makes people think that there will be some poisonous spiders, lizards or bamboo leaves and greens lurking in it at any time. But when you get closer, you will find that these short shrubs have many thorns, and the most important thing is that it is close to the top of this peak.
At first glance, I thought there was no way. If you look carefully, you will find that there is not much vegetation on its side. It seems that the height of the plant is a little shallow, and there are traces of someone stepping on it, because for a new hand like Xiaoqiong, it is impossible to enter without stepping on the pole of the plant like the old wolf. To the bushes.
When they arrived at the bush, Xiaoqiong and Qi'er stood still. Their eyes looked at the old wolf. It seemed that it was time to appear. The old wolf put down the gourd in his mouth, stepped back a few steps, and suddenly folded back. When he arrived in front of the bush, his back paws stepped on a low shrub pile next to him, with this force. Dao, the front paws jumped lightly, and then the whole body jumped up and jumped into the bushes inside. The movements were sensitive and light enough to make people stunned. The illusory Xiaoqiong seemed to see the scene of the old wolf jumping for the first time, and this expression was like this. After reading too much, he slowly got used to it. Soon the bush A mouth was opened. This mouth was just the distance that people could pass through. Erhei took the lead, and Xiaoqiong and Xiaoer went in.
Entering the bushes, the second pass is some messy forests, which are much taller than the dwarf shrubs behind. However, they look very sparse. The gap between the trees is very large, about five meters wide, and the ground is just a weed, and the bright sunlight penetrates into the tree from the branches. In the forest, wisps quietly bathed in the land in the forest. Squirrels jump happily in the forest. So naughty, there are birds singing happily in the forest, which makes people can't help but want to walk in. Once this idea comes in, they will never think of it, unless someone wants you to come out, but Xiaoqiong every time When you get here, you will dig up a ball of mud or a stone from the ground, pinch it into a ball, and throw it into the woods. The purpose of this is to test where there will be a trap on every piece of the forest. Of course, these traps are like a trap for the old wolf and Erhei. However, Xiaoqiong thinks it is necessary to know it well. You can't rely on two blacks and old wolves every time you go out.
With this idea, every time Xiaoqiong goes out or comes back, she is so tentative. The location is a little different every day. Of course, the purpose is to test where there is a trap and where there is no trap. The old lady of Erhei once inadvertently reminded her not to run around if she has nothing to do. There are organs and traps around here. If you don't pay attention, you will die.
Xiaoqiong always feels that this sounds like a kind reminder, but the words are more or less meaningful, and even makes her think of a kind of threat, as if to control her and Erhei tightly in the palm of her hand. Since she and Erhei's combination, Erhei's old mother will come back here almost every day before dinner. However, the next morning, she never saw her figure. She thought she had returned to her Yiren village. With the woman's intuition and the breath of **, Xiaoqiong judged that the goddess almost didn't live here before. As for the reason, Xiaoqiong still doesn't know.
If you don't want to walk through the woods and climb trees, you can't do it. If you are more careful, you will find these trees. It is a kind of fir pine-like tree on the red soil plateau. There are many pine resins on the bottom pine poles, which seem to be just normal metabolites of ordinary plant tissue or The secretions are stored in the secretion cells of plants or resin catheters. They are amorphous solids. The surface is slightly shiny, and many are semi-solids. It smells like a special aroma. However, if you stick to these pine resins and can't get rid of them as soon as possible, it will wrap you up.
The reason why I know this is that I have the second black mother, the witch's reminder. I witnessed it with my own eyes a few days ago, and then I completely know the experience of this kind of pine resin. It is a monkey-like ape-like animal. Xiaoqiong doesn't know the specific name, but, It is thought that it should be a classification belonging to sloths. Xiaoqiong simply called this animal a lazy beast. For some reason, he touched the tree pole. The movement of this lazy beast was relatively slow. Soon, its front paws were solidified by those semi-solid pine resin, hissqueezing in his mouth, and then scratching with the back claws, It was too late. Soon the back claws were frozen and wrapped up. After a short time, this turpentine began to spread to its whole body.
The lazy beast struggled desperately, and I don't know whether it was because of its small strength or because the loose fingers were too sticky. The lazy beast couldn't get rid of the pine resin. The pine resin surged layer by layer from the tree pole, just like a life-threatening charm to kill it. When the life of the lazy beast was hanging on the line, it was fierce. Reach out to catch the lazy beast.
It was too late for Xiaoqiong to stop it. She only screamed instinctively. Seeing Erhei tearing the lazy beast fiercely and his feet against the tree pole, the tree began to shake. The leaves above began to tremble and make a fierce sound. The tree pole also tilted and tilted again. The soil on the ground roared and was shaken. Swinging up and rolling in the air, Xiaoqiong knew that Erhei's strength was very strong, as if she wanted to fight with this tree.
But Erhei is a human after all. The tree grows out of the soil and the roots are connected to the ground. Over time, Erhei may be folded in by these pine resin. Xiaoqiong secretly thought that if Erhei really has three long and two shorts, it is meaningless to live. As she jumped up, he shouted, "Erhei, why are you so stupid? , it will be killed!" He also hugged Erhei's waist fiercely and struggled out, and then the old wolf and the yanther also joined in, and they also desperately pulled Erhei's clothes to earn out.
The tree began to shake and swing crazily. It seemed that he didn't want to let himself fall. The two forces were consumed like this, and the tree pole was tilting more and more. I didn't know which force would win. At this time, a voice came from behind him: "Don't move!" Xiaoqiong couldn't tell whose voice it was at this time. Fortunately, Erhei and the old wolf stopped and turned their heads to look--, Erhei's mother came out of nowhere.
Xiaoqiong was suddenly stopped by Erhei and others, and almost staggered down. The old wolf put his body on it, and Xiaoqiong stood firm. The goddess slanted at Xiaoqiong strangely and said, "I told you not to run around, move, where to go, say hello in advance, but why didn't you listen? You almost killed Erhei!" Xiaoqiong was speechless by her mother-in-law's words.
The goddess stopped talking, and muttered some incomprehensible languages, like chanting a spell. Then, she lit the torch and used the torch to reach the pine resin of the tree. The pine resin immediately began to melt, making a "sizzling" sound, and then a thick smoke appeared. The thick smoke was black and choking- ----, soon the turpentine melted -----.
It's far from it. Let's see how Erhei and the old wolf enter the woods!
