Chapter 55: The Lone Wolf
At first, it was nothing, but as the path became more and more secluded, all kinds of birds, insects and small beasts began to appear around. The leaves of the broad-leaved trees in the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info have fallen off, but there are still some thin-leaved plants supporting a touch of green - but it seems that the number of qi is not far away.
Master Mingtu walked vigorously, and after half an hour, he had already walked to a place where there was no way, and pulled out a large firewood knife to "ho ho" a few times, and had opened up a new path.
"Keep your head down. She instructed.
Xue Ying retracted her curious gaze, obediently retracted into the basket, and after another stick of incense or so, Master Mingtu stopped, waved his arms, and the basket landed steadily.
"Dig the herbs first, and when you're done, I'll take you to pick wild fruits." ”
"Hey. Xue Ying took out her own small hoe from the basket and began to dig up a herb with golden veins according to Master Mingjue's instructions. This herb has slender leaves and a rhizome that is a round lump that resembles a daffodil.
Master Mingjue said that the name of the herb was "Princess Disease", but Xue Ying insisted that it was her casual nonsense. However, no matter what the name of the medicine is, in short, this herb is very effective in treating Master Mingtu's severe body pain on rainy days, so Xue Ying automatically asked Ying to follow Master Mingjue to collect medicine a long time ago.
However, this herb is very rare, and this piece is already the last place where Master Mingjue knows that this herb grows, and if you want to pick it again, you will have to wait until after the beginning of spring next year.
Xue Ying counted slightly, and found that there were only seven or eight "princess diseases" growing in this area, and the shape was not very good. When she was digging the pit seriously, Master Mingjue had already climbed into the tree, and his figure was shuttling back and forth in the woods, like a shock.
Master Mingjue is looking for a nest of a gray-feathered bird, and the eggs of that bird are also used to treat Master Mingtu's illness, and it is said that that the bird will only be found in the vicinity of the "princess disease".
Nature is really wonderful, it is two species that are completely unrelated, but they will live in the same area, and what is even more amazing is that these two things can be combined to cure a strange disease.
After she finished digging up the herbs on the ground, Master Mingtu also happened to come back, muttering in frustration: "It's cold, and the birds don't lay eggs anymore." But she quickly picked up her spirits again, "Let's go, I'll take you to pick fruit to eat." ”
In this deep mountain and old forest, Master Mingtu was able to come and go freely, and it didn't take long for Xue Ying to find a fruit forest, with yellow wild fruits hanging on the tall trees, which looked a bit like a pipa. Although the fruit is only the size of a thumb, it is full of aroma, and you can eat the sweet and sweet flesh when you open the skin.
Master Mingtu turned around the treetops several times before picking a handful, half of it was thrown to Xue Ying, and half was kept for himself to eat: "This kind of fruit is delicious and delicious, but it is only ripe for a few days, and it will quickly spoil." And to attract birds and insects, it is rare to find a few good ones. ”
Xue Ying peeled off one and ate it carefully, the haunting enjoyment made her reluctantly reminisce for a while, and finally looked up at Master Mingtu.
"What?"
"Would you like to pick a few more and give them back to eat?" she suggested.
Mingtu scratched his head: "But it's only so much in total, if you eat it for everyone, you won't be able to eat enough." ”
"I'll eat steamed buns," Xue Ying took out the dry food that had been prepared long ago from her arms, "There are two, one for you." ”
"No, I've got dry food with me. Master Mingjue couldn't help it, "Okay, I'll pick some more and share them with everyone." But you don't have to eat when you turn around, so you can't cry. ”
Xue Ying shook her head and replied resolutely, "I don't cry." ”
"Yes, I haven't seen you cry......" Master Mingjue muttered and jumped back up to find the fruit.
There is only the occasional birdsong in the forest, and there is silence beyond that. Xue Ying has a sachet on her body, so she doesn't have to worry about any poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. I stood bored for a while, so I looked around.
Outside, there is already dead grass and fallen leaves, but there is still a little greenery in this deep mountain, which is faintly revealed under the cover of dead grass.
Xue Ying crossed a small bush, used a branch to pull away a few clumps of dead grass, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were wild vegetables underneath - she had eaten too many radish and cabbage during this time, and when she saw this green wild vegetable, she suddenly became greedy. He turned around and took a small medicine hoe and began to pick.
There weren't many wild plants, and many of them were already decaying, but whenever she wanted to give up, she often made new discoveries, and she didn't realize that she was getting closer and closer to the thicker and denser bushes.
And when she pushed away a certain clump of dead grass again, the green eyes that greeted her eyes were full of murderous aura, and the snoring that meant deterrence and preparation for attack also poured into her ears at the same time, making her hair stand up for a moment, and stiffen in place.
Less than half a meter away from each other, behind the dead grass, there was a wolf.
The wolf stared at her, the low echo from the depths of his throat getting denser and the more obvious the intent of the attack. Xue Ying held her breath and slowly leaned back at an extremely slow pace, intending to pull even a little distance.
Her withdrawal seemed to stimulate the other party's desire to attack. "Frightened ......" The wolf suddenly showed its fangs and jumped forward, Xue Ying only felt a flower in front of him, and screamed and stretched out his hand to block the front.
"Whew-"
Instead of waiting for the pain she expected, she heard a wail from the beast.
When I opened my eyes again, the wolf had already been lifted in my hand by Master Mingjue.
"It's just a little wolf, and you have enough medicine hoe in your hand to deal with it. Master Mingjue commented very calmly.
Xue Ying breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, and her chest ached faintly because of the violent beating of her heart: "I...... I was a little freaked. ”
"If you are frightened, you should know how to protect yourself. Master Mingjue crouched down and brought the wolf that was still struggling fiercely towards her, "Stupidity will only lead to faster death." ”
The wolf almost gnawed on her head. Xue Ying was startled, almost fell backwards, and finally suppressed the scream that had reached her throat, and turned over to avoid it in a little panic: "Master Mingjue!"
"Still afraid?" Master Mingjue saw that there was another round. "You're still so young, you know how to be afraid of wolves?"
What kind of theory is this? Not afraid when you are young?
Xue Ying wiped the cold sweat oozing from her forehead, her mouth was still a little dry, and she quickly changed the topic: "Master Mingjue, where is this little wolf?"
Master Mingjue shook off the skinny little wolf, looked up and down, left and right, and looked a few times, and finally came to the conclusion: "It's a lone wolf." ”
"Huh?"
"It looks like I've been hungry for a while, and I'm covered in skin. The mother is dead, she hasn't grown up, and seeing that winter is coming, it seems that it won't live long. ”
"Oh. Although Master Mingjue said that it was a little wolf, in Xue Ying's opinion, the other party was already able to bite off half of her palm, so even if it was restrained by Master Mingjue, she still didn't dare to approach.
"Oh, that's all you say?" Master Mingjue was a little surprised.
Xue Ying wondered, "Then, what else should I say?"
