Chapter 6: Falling into the Cave

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and this day is the day when the village puts grain, and every year the mountain village will distribute the income of people's hard work in this year according to the work of each family before the agricultural slack.

Tian Xiuyun was sent out by her family to chop firewood early in the morning, these days are getting colder and colder, and it seems that winter is coming, and there will be no work in the village, basically when it is idle to enter the farm. While the weather is still good and the snow has not started, the firewood at home must also be stocked up.

In the past, the family would let Tian Xiuyun go out to chop firewood after breakfast, but today is the day of grain distribution, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get the food I want if I go too late, so early in the morning, the family will carry the grain frame and sack to the village to gather and queue up. Since no one cooks breakfast, it will naturally not let Tian Xiuyun be idle, so she will send people to the mountains to chop firewood early, completely ignoring the fact that the sky is not very bright in the early morning because it is almost winter.

Tian Xiuyun did not resist this arrangement, although the sky was not very bright, but she could see the road clearly, it was cold, and it was better to move than to stay at home, at least she was free outside.

Tian Xiuyun did not hesitate to pick up the firewood knife and hemp rope and walked out of the house, because she had bumped into the village chief and Widow Zhao before, so when she went up the mountain later, Tian Xiuyun would take a detour to the back mountain, passing by the house in the village that was transformed from an exhaust cowshed, and there was a path that could enter the mountain.

This time it is not unexpected, Tian Xiuyun still plans to enter the mountain from the path to chop wood, because she has a firewood knife in her hand and a soul in her forties, so even if the sky is not very bright, she is not afraid.

When she came to the periphery of the mountain, Tian Xiuyun looked at the surrounding trees, there was no obvious firewood that could be used, during this time, because it was almost winter, every household was stocking firewood, and almost all the branches and rotten trees on the periphery were picked up, and if you wanted more firewood, you could only go deep into the mountains.

Just after thinking about it for a while, Tian Xiuyun decided to continue walking into the mountains, not because she was worried that she would go back and be scolded because she was worried that she would have too little firewood on her back, but she simply didn't want to go back too early, not to mention that she was a little hungry when she went out early in the morning, Tian Xiuyun wanted to try her luck and go into the mountains and forests to find something to satisfy her hunger.

After walking for about ten minutes, the trees in the mountains were thick, Tian Xiuyun struggled to distinguish the road ahead, and even then she almost fell several times, but fortunately, she continued to walk for a while and came to a slightly empty place, through the dense woods, some light faintly shone in.

At this moment, Tian Xiuyun heard a faint snoring sound peculiar to wild boars, in order to prevent accidents, Tian Xiuyun hurriedly blocked the firewood knife in front of her, and cautiously walked in the direction of the sound.

The closer she got, the clearer she could hear the howl of the wild boar, the sound was sharp but very weak, Tian Xiuyun thought about it for a while, and still walked into the depths with courage. Through this faint sound, it is easy to judge that the wild boar's state at the moment is mostly weak.

However, it is precisely because of this judgment that Tian Xiuyun was a little hesitant, after all, it can make a wild boar weak, so the reason for it is also very dangerous. just turned around and went back, obviously not Tian Xiuyun's style, plus there was a firewood knife in his hand, but he continued to walk carefully in the direction of the wild boar in fear.

"Oh my God!" walked to the source of the sound, Tian Xiuyun couldn't help but exclaim, there was a pit more than one meter deep in front of her, and an adult wild boar was deep in the pit, because the wild boar was large and the pit was narrow, looking down from above, the wild boar was stuck in the pit and couldn't jump out, at this time the breath was already weak, if it weren't for Tian Xiuyun's ears, she would really miss the angry wail of the wild boar when she was dying.

Although the current situation is not dangerous, but such a big wild boar Tian Xiuyun is also quite a headache, not to mention how to get it, it is to be whole, she can't carry it out alone, unless she goes out to call someone, but now the people in the village are fighting the field to distribute food, even if you call someone, I don't know if there will be other beasts coming over this time, and someone must be able to believe her little girl's words.

In recent years, the mountain villages will also go into the mountains to hunt during the slack every year, but most of them do not go deep into the mountains, and there are almost no large games such as wild boars, most of which are hares, pheasants or roe deer. She went back so rashly and said that she saw a wild boar, and no one necessarily believed it.

Tian Xiuyun thought about it and decided to observe the environment around first, whether there was any danger, and then wait for the wild boar to completely lose its breath. But I still wonder how there is a pit in a good place, it doesn't look like a trap dug by man, if it is a trap, it is usually buried in the pit with wooden thorns and other mechanisms, this wild boar has already bled to death, and will not die of hunger like this.

Although she was strange in her heart, Tian Xiuyun still planned to explore the surroundings first according to the plan. Holding the firewood knife in his hand for a moment, he didn't dare to relax for a moment, his eyes stared at the surroundings, and he didn't pay too much attention to his feet.

Tian Xiuyun closed her eyes in fear during the fall, and at the same time blamed herself for being too careless, this feeling of falling only lasted a few seconds before stopping, but the expected pain was not too great, Tian Xiuyun felt that her body had stopped falling, so she opened her eyes carefully.

"Hiss~" Because I wanted to raise my hand to brush away the hair that covered my vision, I found that my arm didn't know when it was cut by a firewood knife A not shallow wound, I was a little speechless for a while, I was not injured, but I was accidentally injured by my own firewood knife.

Tian Xiuyun endured the pain of the wound and stood up with a firewood knife, looked down and understood why she fell from a height and was not injured much, it turned out that she fell to the grass nest, and she knew that this was a beast's nest by looking at the shape of the grass nest.

Seeing this, Tian Xiuyun's nerves suddenly tensed, she held the firewood knife in her hand even tighter, looked around carefully, and found that this hole was completely impossible to climb up from the bottom, it was too high from the ground, and the hole was very narrow, and the reason why she fell down was probably because the hole was too narrow and was blocked by the surrounding bushes. And this is the back mountain that people in the village don't often visit, and this will not expect someone to save her, thinking of this, my heart is also desperate, and I blame myself for being too self-righteous, and the adults in the village have to go together in the mountains, but I think that I have an adult soul is so bold, this is good, if I stay here all the time, even if I am not bitten to death by wild beasts, I will be starved to death.

Tian Xiuyun saw that it was impossible to climb up from the original road, so she turned her eyes elsewhere, even if the current situation was very unfavorable, she had to try her best to fight for a chance to survive.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, Tian Xiuyun found an inconspicuous hole in a mountain wall on the right side of the cave, cleaned up the grass and trees at the entrance of the cave, and probably made a gesture, barely passing. Looking into the cave again, there was a faint light, but it was not obvious, and I knew that this was a passage that was not deep. So Tian Xiuyun didn't think much about it, and directly bent down and shrunk her body and carefully crawled from the entrance of the cave to the other side.

After crawling for a while, Tian Xiuyun crawled out of the passage, and the giant python that caught her eye directly frightened Tian Xiuyun's legs weakly. The good guy has been doing it for a long time, this is a giant python's nest, Tian Xiuyun once again lamented her luck, no wonder this passage is so strange, it is obviously the only way for the python to go to and from the snake's nest, but he fell into the snake's nest without saying anything, and he sent himself to the python.
