Chapter Twenty-Five: Thrilling in the Wild
The air quality in ancient times was so good that there was nothing to say, there was no industrial pollution, no car exhaust, no human destruction, how kind nature was, comfortable people, breezy and pleasant.
More than a thousand years ago in ancient times, the traffic was very backward, fortunately Xiangyue had a very good footwork, the speed was not slow, but it was a long run, the physical exertion was quite large, and she was tired enough.
All the way to the southeast, at first you can still see a lot of tic-tac-toe fields, as well as covered melon and fruit fields, and smoke curling in the small village.
After running for dozens of miles, it gradually became desolate, there were no decent roads, and when I encountered a river, I sometimes walked along the river bank for more than ten miles without seeing a bridge to cross the river.
The hillside is full of woods, the wild grass is half a man high, and the big rivers and rivers are like roadblocks.
At a glance, there were only distant mountains and green forests, and there were no people in the villages, and she complained in her heart, is this still the prosperous Jiangnan? How can it be like the mountainous areas in the northwest, is it because the earth's crust has changed greatly?
In fact, it is not that the earth's crust has changed greatly, but that science and technology and social civilization have made great progress, with a difference of more than 1,000 years, and backwardness and progress are clear at a glance.
And she only knew to go in one direction, and unconsciously deviated from the gallop road and walked into the wilderness, naturally it was difficult to meet pedestrians, and the road under her feet would not be easy to walk.
Compared with other places, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is still relatively rich, you must know that the good place in the south of the Yangtze River, an inch of land is an inch of gold, with the changes of the times, social progress, more than a thousand years later, here is a forest of high-rise buildings, busy traffic, land is so expensive that the common people tighten their belts, maybe they can't afford it for a lifetime.
Until dark, she did not see a village, a wilderness and a forest, and it was dark, but now she was so deaf and clear that she could not stumble on her feet, and she could see the ground clearly by the light of the night sky.
"My legs are so sore, let's find a clean place to sleep overnight. ”
Xiang Yue reluctantly knocked on his sore legs, looking at the mountain not far in front of him, and he should be able to find a clean big stone to lie down and rest.
"Whew!"
I don't know what kind of small animal, scurrying in front of her, into the grass, she is not too afraid, walking for nearly a day, I don't know how many spider webs are stained on her body, and how many flying insects of different sizes are in close contact, she is lightly brushed away.
In addition to the sound of insects chirping in the grass, there is also the sound of crawlers "all know the rope", I don't know how many kinds of insects are crawling, if you look closely, there are spiders, centipedes, and toads......
Sure enough, it is in response to the idiom of "art is bold", although this "art high" is like a small thing compared to a real master, but compared with the previous life, it is indeed too bold.
"Woo...... Oh...... Woo......"
In the distance, there were many wild beasts howling, and from far and near, the sound of many footprints stepping on the dead branches of the grass could be heard.
"It can't be a wolf, is it?"
Xiang Yue's heart was shocked, she is not afraid of small animals and small insects, does it mean that she is not afraid of big beasts like wolves?
In the secluded Taoist temple, although it is in the deep mountains and old forests, there have been no wolves and other fierce beasts, the roars of those beasts are far away, there is no danger, I can't imagine that outside, it should be a densely populated place for human beings, but it is so desolate, and there are fierce beasts infested, this ancient time is too primitive.
Ignoring her sore legs, she quickly took out her strength and ran up the mountain.
She forgot that Xiaobi is not small, she can swallow an adult in one bite, and the ferocity is no less than that of wolves and other fierce beasts, because she is intimate with Xiaobi, she will naturally not be included in the ranks of murderous beasts, and it is also because of her relationship with snakes that she is not afraid of those small animals and small insects.
"Moo...... Moo......"
Out of the grass came an animal as strong as the elephant in the zoo, with two horns on its head, listening to the cry should be a bison, running wildly on all fours, followed by several wolves with blue eyes and blue eyes, and a vigorous body, the movements were more agile and fast than the bison, and the bison was knocked down at once, and the white fangs of the forest were bitten one after another, and several wolves pounced.
In the blink of an eye, a large bison was overwhelmed by a pack of vicious wolves.
The bison only screamed twice, then it was silent, and Xiang Yue turned his head to glance, and he could vaguely distinguish the black shadows of the bison and the wolf, as well as the chewing sound of tearing meat and gnawing bones, which was more brutal and bloody than being chased and killed by more than 100 people, and she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat all over her body.
This scene is alive and well in an animal world where the weak eat the strong.
She didn't dare to turn back, and she ran at full speed, startling the birds and animals resting in the weeds all the way, and it was noisy.
After a few breaths, a bison was eaten by the wolves, but fortunately, the frightened birds and beasts attracted the attention of the wolves, and they pounced on the food, but did not pay attention to the moon.
Xiang Yue ran up the mountainside in one breath and hid in the gap between two big stones, panting for breath, it was really scared to death of the baby.
What she didn't know was that tigers and wolves were only fierce beasts, and the Orion family lived by capturing and hunting them, as long as they didn't encounter hordes of beasts, ordinary martial arts could easily deal with them.
The really ferocious beasts are the fierce beasts, and most of them are reduced to their belly food.
Jiangnan has been a good place for outstanding people since ancient times, and it is impossible for fierce beasts to haunt this area.
For the sake of safety, she whistled lightly in her mouth and called the snake guards, and in the "hiss" sound, there were a lot of small snakes, but Xiao Bi was missing, could it be that this big guy ate and held on?
I don't know which one is more powerful when the snakes and wolves fight? Xiang Yue was so tired that she fell asleep in a daze.
"Crackling" A burst of branches breaking, the huge sound of trees falling, woke up Xiang Yue, opened his eyes only to see the fire on the top of the mountain flickering, in the dark night, very eye-catching, faintly there are human voices.
"Is there anyone on the top of the mountain?" Xiang Yue rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the small snakes around him were swimming slowly, guarding them very dutifully.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the top of the mountain, and in the sound of broken branches, a mass of something rolled straight down the hillside, "thumped" into the root of a thick tree, and with a muffled snort, it stopped moving, and collapsed on the ground as a figure.
Xiang Yue stood up from the crack in the stone, approached the past, the ground was dotted with blood, and he couldn't help but reach out to probe the man's snort.
"It's angry, it's not dead. ”
Xiang Yue sighed, carefully helped the person to lie down, checked the injury, and there was no major problem, it should have been a little skin injury, and he fainted, so he pinched the "human acupoint" a few times to wake the person up.
"Uncle, are you alright?"
"You ......" It was a middle-aged man, who slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Xiang Yue, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Little girl, did you save me?" thank you. ”
"Uncle's injury is fine, I didn't do anything. ”
"Oh, little girl, why are you here alone, and there are no adults around?" the man touched the wounds on his forehead and arm, and looked around, but there was no one else.
"I went to Sisin-gun, Si Shin to join my relatives. Xiang Yue casually took it and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing on the top of the mountain?"
"Ahh The man hurriedly got up, "Little girl, this is a long way to go, if you trust me, follow me up the mountain first, and when my young master catches the big finch, I beg my young master to let me send you over, you little girl is so bold, you dare to run around alone." ”
"Thank you, uncle. Xiang Yue was overjoyed and followed the man up the mountain.
