Chapter 111: Rainforest
The barren grass on the roadside has turned a little yellow, the ancient trees on the mountain are still lush, and birds and apes are heard from time to time in the forest. The sound of the carriage falling into my ears, and I felt the silence of the mountains.
Xiao Yu took the carriage to the gate outside the slang village, and asked Xiao Yucheng to go back first.
Although Xiao Yucheng was unwilling, those slang people listened to Xiao Yu's words and stopped him from the door. He had no choice but to drive back.
Halfway through, there were carriages and horses galloping towards him, and one of the people sitting on the horse was wearing a dark color suit, with a cold face, and it was Zhong Lang.
Xiao Yucheng felt a little strange and let go to the side of the road.
The carriage and horse kicked up smoke and dust, swept up like a storm, and stopped in front of Xiao Yucheng's carriage.
Hua Yue's attendant Ling didn't wait for Xiao Yucheng to speak, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward in a few steps, and asked, "Is Miss Xiao in the carriage?" ”
Most likely Hua Yue and Zhong Lang learned the news of Xiao Yu's search for medicine, and they didn't know what happened when they rushed over?
Xiao Yucheng disagreed with Xiao Yu for looking for medicine for Hua Yue regardless of his safety, and thought that this matter was all because of Hua Yue, so he was extremely dissatisfied with him, so he naturally had no good voice, and immediately responded without saltiness: "Ah Yu went to the slang village, what happened to Yue Gongzi?" ”
"Childe heard that the second girl Xiao was desperate to find medicine, so he specially rushed to dissuade him." In fact, Poria didn't understand why the young master of his family was so attentive to the little girl of the Xiao family, but he felt that Xiao Yu could be so valued by Hua Yue, and the Xiao family should be overjoyed, and there was a little bit in his words.
It sounds like Xiao Yu is bent on going his own way, and he must go up the mountain to find medicine in person, so as to seek retribution for his kindness.
Xiao Yucheng was already unhappy in his heart, and when he heard the meaning of Poria Cocos's words, he said with a cold face: "Ah Yu went into the mountains to find medicine for your master regardless of the danger, it was out of kindness, if the princess Yue is reasonable, she should be grateful for her doctor's benevolence and not let her be in danger." It's just that I came to stop it at this time, is it too late? ”
Hua Yue also heard these words in the car, and felt that Poria was becoming more and more ignorant. He lifted the curtain slightly.
Xiao Gongzi's words are extremely true. Sister Ling detoxified Hua and did her best. Jean was extremely grateful. This time, you can send the people below to do it, and you shouldn't work Sister Ling, so Hua Mou rushed to persuade him when he got the news. I don't know if Sister Ling has already entered the mountain? ”
Xiao Yucheng listened to Hua Yue's words sincerely, although he didn't like him in his heart. Considering Xiao Yu's safety, he still slowed down his tone and said: "She has already entered the slang village, if there is no medicinal herb there that she needs, she will take people directly to the deep mountains, if there is a way to dissuade her, she will rush there as soon as possible!" ”
He still hoped that Hua Yue could stop Xiao Yu.
Hua Yue said a few more polite words to Xiao Yucheng. Turning to Poria and said lightly: "You go back first!" ”
Poria has been by Hua Yue's side for a while, how could she not hear the meaning of her words, she was shocked, and immediately knelt down and said, "Young master, ......"
Hua Yue didn't look at it and lowered the curtain. The group of chariots and horses immediately continued to gallop forward. Xiao Yucheng thought about it for a moment on the side of the road, turned the carriage around, and headed towards Luofeng Mountain.
Xiao Yu was warmly received by the Holy Aunt and Mrs. Xian. However, when she explained her intentions, the great elder said that there was no golden silk snake in the slang village, so she could only go to the mountains to find it.
The three of them were also puzzled that Xiao Yu was obviously afraid of a large number of poisonous snakes, insects and ants in the depths of the rainforest, and planned to go to the mountains to find medicine in person.
The Great Elder was thoughtful.
Xiao Yu asked the holy aunt to help find a few people to take care of her. Most of the adult men in the village often go deep into the mountains to hunt. They all know the way and have some experience, so it's not difficult. The Holy Aunt agreed to come down. In the end, Shenggu chose five slang people to go with her, including his old acquaintances Dongdan and Ateng. The other three people are named Ah Yun, Ning Xing and Ling'er.
Among them, only Ling'er is a little girl who is only fourteen years old. It is said that although she is young, she is very powerful and beautiful.
Xiao Yu thanked the Holy Aunt, Mrs. Xian and the Great Elder, and then left the village and went up the mountain from another road.
Sunlight shines through the gaps in the treetops and casts on the thick fallen leaves.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, but the rainforests in the mountains of southern Xinjiang are still thriving. Dense and verdant. The bones of birds and beasts can occasionally be seen on the ground, and the stale smell is mixed with the smell of new plants and trees and the faint fragrance of flowers, forming a sullen and unique humidity.
Deep in the rainforest, the roars of birds and beasts can be heard clearly. In response to each other, I felt the silence and depth.
Soon, there was no road under their feet, and several tall and sturdy slang men cut through the thorns and thorns in front of them, and the green grass and trees fell one after another, revealing a path that could be passed by one person.
From time to time, there are hares, raccoon cats and other small beasts in the wild grass next to them, and they flee in panic. But a few people didn't care.
Suddenly, Ling'er screamed happily. Before Xiao Yu could see clearly, she had already flashed forward, and with a shot like lightning, she took down a colorful flower snake from the tree next to her.
Xiao Yu looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be a rare and highly poisonous white snake, and Ling'er's jade hand was pinching it seven inches tightly, and the snake was packed into a bamboo tube.
Xiao Yu saw that Ling'er was not very old, but she really had such a ability to catch snakes, and secretly admired, no wonder the Holy Aunt would choose her.
"Sister Ayu, do you want to use this snake?" Ling'er turned her head and said to Xiao Yu in slang with a look of anticipation.
Xiao Yu's trip was mainly to find the golden silk emerald snake, and besides, this white snake was caught by Ling'er, seeing it like this, he immediately smiled and shook his head: "No." ”
Ling'er's pretty eyes were shining, and she diligently put away the bamboo tube: "Then I'll stay!" ”。
Xiao Yu.
However, this snake is indeed rare, and several people in Dongdan showed envy.
Although it is not in the depths of Luofeng Mountain, you can occasionally see some valuable medicinal materials. Once he encountered it, Xiao Yu took it into his pocket.
All the way to the deep mountains, there seemed to be a strange sound behind me, as if someone was coming this way. Several of them stopped alertly and turned to take a closer look.
"Second Miss Xiao!"
was puzzled, but Xiao Yu heard a shout, and the person who came was looking for her, and she was a little familiar, so she immediately answered.
"Miss Xiao, I've found you!" A few teenagers turned around the bushes and appeared in front of them, but they were Hua Yue's attendants Magnolia, Atractylodes and Chang Shan.
Several people also saw Xiao Yu and stepped forward quickly, not hiding the joy on their faces at all.
Xiao Yu was very surprised and was about to ask a question.
But I saw Magnolia suddenly bend down, and when he looked up again, his face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "I stepped on a snake and my foot was bitten!" ”
"What?!" Xiao Yu was taken aback. Cangzhu and Changshan stopped and leaned over to check.
"It's a five-step snake." Ah Teng next to him had already walked over a few steps, first examined Magnolia's injury, and frowned. He tore off the strip of cloth and tied the magnolia calf tightly, then took out a knife, cut the bite of the poisonous snake, squeezed out the poisonous blood, and rinsed it with water.
Xiao Yu also hurriedly stepped forward and took out a small porcelain vase.
Although Magnolia didn't understand the man's slang, seeing him act like this, and the wound was numb and didn't know the pain, he had already guessed that the snake was poisonous, and immediately cooperated to take the detoxifying medicine. (To be continued.) )
