CHAPTER XVII
"Sister Ge'er, you originally planned to take us there, right?" Yu Yang asked, pointing to the smoking hill and twitching at the corner of his mouth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meng Mao held Meng Ge's hand tightly, with a hint of yearning on his face, but soon, his eyes crossed with loss.
Meng Ge's face darkened, looking at the mountain that seemed to be thousands of miles away in disbelief, and replied: "Yes, if we had successfully gone there, maybe we would have found the way down the mountain now." ”
Yu Yang heard the sense of loss in Meng Ge's words, so he persuaded: "Sister Ge'er, don't worry. Let's fix up for a while, add some food, and then go over there. After that, I led the way, and I was very accurate. ”
How else could Meng Ge answer, he could only nod his head. But the most important thing for now is to solve the food problem as soon as possible.
The little air-dried prey they had stored before had been almost consumed these days.
"Don't worry about eating. I see the footprints of many pheasants and hares in this vicinity, and I will start hunting some for you tomorrow to come back and try them. Meng Ge patted Meng Mao's little head and said.
On this day, Meng Ge found a more suitable place to live in the cave and renovated it, and arranged it more comfortably.
Then he was satisfied, and in the evening, he went out to lay a trap with ropes, broadswords, and bows and arrows.
The arrows, on the day they were retrieved, were all pulled out of the snowdrift by Mongo.
Winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, Meng Ge has been in the mountains for almost two years. If we count from the time they fled the famine, they have been away from home for two years and three months.
For the past two years, Menggo and the others have been walking towards the smoking hill. However, it was more than a year before they were about to reach the periphery of that mountain.
"Sister Ge'er, we've finally found the right place. Twelve-year-old Yu Yang stood on the windward boulder, pointed to the mountain in front of him, and said excitedly.
Meng Mao also stood happily on the stone, smiling silently at the mountain.
Meng Ge sat on the big shelf, panting slightly: "Don't get excited too early, maybe it's the same as the previous two times, and you found the wrong place." ”
These words successfully hit the excited two little ones.
At first, they spent a spring, half a summer, and went to the mountain they saw in the cave, and found that it was just the most ordinary mountain standing in the depths of the mountain.
After walking for so long, they found that they were in the wrong direction, which made them all hug each other and cry with great expectations.
Those who have not experienced the difficulties along the way cannot understand it.
They had encountered a hungry tiger, and to this day, the tiger skin and a large bag of tiger bones are still lying on the big shelf beside Meng Ge.
They also encountered a grizzly bear that had just woken up from hibernation. Of course, there are no bear paws and bear bile. Because they can't afford to mess with the grizzly bear.
In order to kill the tiger, Meng Ge's left leg was fractured. If she hadn't had the ability to straighten her bones, she would definitely be a proper cripple.
After experiencing all kinds of hardships and dangers, and all three of them were injured to varying degrees, they reached the second hill.
However, this time they were even more disappointed. Because, that small hill, it was obviously a lot farther away from the place they were looking for.
At that time, it was time for heavy snow to close the mountain. So, they had to spend the winter on that mountain.
After that, they were back on the road when the snow had melted. This time, instead of moving towards a specific goal, they walked up a section and determined their direction.
Finally, from spring to autumn, they came to the mountain. But this time, all three had little hope.
"Sister Ge'er, we're all about to become savages. If we don't go out of the mountains, we will live in the mountains in the future. Yu Yang looked at the various furs spliced together on the three of them, and couldn't laugh or cry.
Meng Ge also knew that they were very ridiculous. But she'd rather wear this nondescript fur than the cold.
"Alright, we have to find our way out of the mountain. Look at the little spears, they have become the brothers of the monkeys. If we don't go out of the mountain, I'm afraid we'll all have monkey hair on our bodies. Meng Ge stopped Meng Mao, who wanted to climb a big camphor tree, grabbed the rope, pulled the shelf and continued on his way.
In the past two years, Meng Ge intends to train Yu Yang and Meng Mao to adapt them to life in the mountains.
Therefore, the current Yu Yang and Meng Mao have more or less some skills. It's just Meng Mao, a little kid, going out alone to hunt a hare pheasant or something, it's not a problem at all.
Yu Yang's skills are a little more powerful than Meng Mao. The main reason is that Yu Yang is ruthless enough to himself and is willing to endure any hardship.
Therefore, instead of competing with fierce beasts for food, Yu Yang can also hunt a deer, wild boar or something alone.
However, Meng Mao has one more advantage than Yu Yang. That's dexterity.
Meng Mao is not comparable to Meng Ge in terms of climbing trees and running.
"Sister Ge'er, I think this time, we must have found the right place. I looked at the mountains on that side, and I felt so familiar. Yu Yang pointed to a mountain road.
"Yes? That's what you said last time. Meng Ge didn't take it seriously at all, and pulled his head forward.
If it weren't for inheriting Wan Qi's brute strength, Meng Ge really didn't dare to say that he could take care of Meng Mao.
Today, the shelves of Mongosore are twice as large as the original climbing plow. In addition to the hard and torn quilts, and some of Mongo's old clothes, there was a lot of fur on it.
Only a small part of the fur has been treated and cooked. But most of it just dried.
Then there are tiger bones and deer antler velvet and the like. By the way, there are also several jars of wild royal jelly.
Those are all good things, and if you get them outside, they may be worth a lot. Not to mention some of the precious herbs that Meng Ge collected.
Meng Mao jumped forward for a while, turned his head again, and pointed at Meng Ge before looking at Meng Ge expectantly.
Meng Ge glanced at Meng Mao with a headache, and then nodded with difficulty: "Cheng, the little spear will go and wash it." It's cold, don't be greedy and get sick. ”
Meng Mao had just come back to tell Meng Ge that he had seen a water source and was going to take a bath.
In early autumn, the weather in the north is already very cold. But once Meng Mao had a high fever because of a cold, Meng Mao forced him and Yu Yang to adapt to the cold in the mountains, and let them bathe in cold water.
"Sister Ge'er, I'll go wash it too, you wait for us here. I haven't taken a shower for three days, and I feel weird and uncomfortable. As soon as Yu Yang heard that there was water, he excitedly dropped the rope and followed behind Meng Mao.
Gotcha, they're all gone. Meng Ge sat down, smelled the strong sour smell on his body, and was so depressed that he couldn't do it.
She also wanted to wash, but she didn't dare to wash so insolently in the wild. Besides, she's thirteen years old, and maybe when menarche comes.
In order to avoid the pain for decades to come, Meng Ge now insists on taking warm baths.
After cleaning, Yu Yang and Meng Mao were refreshed, and they walked with fluttering, and Meng Ge's hands were itching.
"Let's go, let's find a place to spend the night. Glaring at the two of them dissatisfied, Meng Ge pulled the shelf and continued to hurry.
