Chapter 111: Into the Mountain (2)
"Ah, no, no, I'm just curious about your air rifle, there is nothing else, you don't necessarily have to have one. Sheng Qiwu hurriedly waved his hand, he was just curious, and he didn't mean anything else, mainly because this air rifle was very different from the gun he used to shoot targets in the army, so he took a few more looks.
Because the mountain was at the end of the village, Sheng Qiwu parked the car to the orchard. Bypassing the orchard, crossing the flowing stream, and then following the mountain trail that the villagers had walked and stepped on for many years, Uncle Chen took Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu to the halfway up the mountainside.
Looking down from here, you can see the entire orchard and the river, and the entire Qingshui Village can be seen in the distance, the lake and mountains, plus the pastoral scenery, it is really a beautiful scene.
Before Luo Tong could express too much emotion about the mountain village style, Sheng Qiwu had already shouted that Luo Tong came to a dark green bush. In Luo Tong's surprised eyes, Sheng Qiwu tore off a handful of young leaves, rubbed them in his hands for a while, and then smeared the pale cyan juice on his clothes.
"Brother Sheng, what are you doing here?" Luo Tong asked a little strangely. She saw that Uncle Chen next to her was also doing the same, but Uncle Chen was smearing the pale cyan juice on the bare skin on his face and hands.
Uncle Chen wiped these, and said with a smile: "This is Qili incense, which can prevent mosquitoes, although it is spring now, and mosquitoes have not come out much, but it is better to wipe this Qili incense than not to wipe it, Xiao Sheng is an expert, even know this." ”
For Uncle Chen's praise, Sheng Qiwu waved his hand, "Uncle Chen, what kind of expert am I, I only learned it after others." Tongtong, come here!"
Luo Tong walked up to Sheng Qiwu as he said, and Sheng Qiwu smeared the juice on Luo Tong's collar, cuffs and trouser legs to prevent mosquitoes from getting in. Because both of them wore helmets and gloves, they should not apply tanchile incense on their hands and faces.
Luo Tong inhaled his nose, and a fishy smell rushed straight to his nostrils, but then it turned into a faint fragrance of plants and trees, which was very surprising. Luo Tong thought that after his house was built in the future, he must plant some Qili incense around his house.
After packing up. Uncle Chen took Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu to shuttle between the mountains and forests. Uncle Chen knew the periphery of the mountain well, and he took Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu along the trails that were not roads at all. Suddenly in the forest, there is a stream, suddenly a valley, and suddenly a mountaintop, which is very flexible.
Don't look at Uncle Chen's fifty or sixty-year-old people, but walking up the mountain road is like walking on the ground. Luo Tong thought that his physique was good, and he could only ensure that he would not lag behind, while Sheng Qiwu followed Uncle Chen unhurriedly, and pulled Luo Tong from time to time. Looking at it this way, it was the easiest for him.
I have lived in the metropolis since I was a child, and I am used to concrete pouring roads, and I have never seen such a steep road. So every step I took was so nervous that I didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, cautiously for fear of stepping into the air in one step, and then I said goodbye to this world of flowers.
In contrast, Uncle Chen's performance made Luo Tong a little embarrassed, he walked lightly, without any sense of stagnation, and stopped from time to time, using the scythe he brought to cut off the branches that grew on the path.
"Uncle Chen, what are you doing here?" Sheng Qiwu couldn't help but be curious when he saw Uncle Chen stop cutting branches.
"The plants in this jungle grow very fast, and if we don't cut down these branches, it won't be long before the road will be blocked, and it will take more manpower to clean it up. Uncle Chen explained to them as he brandished his scythe.
Only then did Luo Tong understand that this is also a primitive and spontaneous road maintenance, and it seems that this concept has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of people walking in the mountains.
After walking for half an hour, the three of them walked to a small stream, and Uncle Chen stopped and rested. Luo Tong saw that the stream was extremely clear, and sat on the rocks by the stream to rest.
The creek, which was only a meter or two wide, stretched out of the valley in a zigzag way, and was covered with smooth pebbles and other patterns. Luo Tong couldn't help but play, she put her hand into the stream, and the coldness of her hand directly made her shiver.
Sheng Qiwu was next to her, and hurriedly took her hand, "It's so cold, how can you reach straight in, it's only spring now." After speaking, Sheng Qiwu warmed Luo Tong's hands, Luo Tong was embarrassed to withdraw his hand, and Uncle Chen was still beside him, so it was not good for others to see it.
Sheng Qiwu strained slightly, and didn't let go of Luo Tong's hand until he confirmed that it was warm. He squatted by the stream and looked back at Luo Tong, "Which piece do you like?" I'll fish it out for you." ”
Luo Tong stretched out his hand and pointed to a place, "That one has a red leaf pattern on it!"
Sheng Qiwu fished out the pebble from her finger and put it in her hand. "Do you want more?"
"Don't. Luo Tong took the stone and waved her hand, she knew that the stream was still very cold, Sheng Qiwu felt sorry for her, and she didn't let her touch the cold water, and she was reluctant to let Sheng Qiwu go to get the stones for her.
The stone was about half the size of her palm, and it was grayish-black, but there were some red patterns on it, and it looked like a maple leaf. The surface of the stone is smooth, probably because it has been washed by the stream for many years.
The surface of the stone was slightly cool, and after Luo Tong looked at it a few times, he put the pebbles into the pocket of his camouflage uniform. As soon as he entered the mountain, Luo Tong felt refreshed, and the whole person was like a fish entering the ocean.
She worked on her abilities a little, and it felt like it was just a moment, and the abilities she had consumed in the morning were now full again. It seems that she will come here more in the future, it is really her treasure.
From time to time, there were bursts of birdsong in the nearby mountains and forests, and Luo Tong could only hear sparrows chirping. But Uncle Chen knows it well, and the sound of the chickadee is relatively clear and urgent, and the voice of the turtledove is not loud, but the penetration is good...... Wait a minute.
All kinds of knowledge made Luo Tong understand that such a seemingly ordinary bird call in the mountains and forests can have such a great knowledge. Luo Tong took advantage of Sheng Qiwu's inattention, and secretly put his finger into the water, Sheng Qiwu saw it, but he didn't break it, he felt that Luo Tong's sneaky little action was quite cute, so he didn't expose her.
Besides, Luo Tong only stretched out a finger, and he just closed his eyes as if he didn't see it. Luo Tong put his finger into the water, and suddenly on a whim, a pearl-sized ability bead was condensed on the tip of his finger.
Luo Tong found that the speed of condensing the ability bead in the water seemed to be faster, what was the reason for this? Just as Luo Tong was distracted, the tips of her fingers were suddenly hit by something, and Luo Tong, who was distracted, looked over and suddenly opened his eyes.
