Chapter Ninety-Nine: Into the Mountain
The weather did not seem to be as expected, and after reaching an agreement with Zhu Xishi, it snowed lightly for two days in a row near Taiyin Mountain, which invisibly shelved the plan to enter the mountain.
The sudden change, Sheng Zijun endured it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and his mood was naturally irritable with the unpredictable weather. When comparing with Zhu Xi, who was a little idle from him from time to time, she was still calm and at ease, and played the role of an assistant by Sheng Zijun's side in an orderly manner, but it seemed that he was a little childish.
Eight days later, the god finally gave them face and showed a hint of a smile. Taking advantage of the good weather, early in the morning, Zhu Xishi, Sheng Zijun, Uncle Niu and Tiezhu set off towards Bilongtan in Taiyin Mountain.
Although the weather was clear, the rugged mountain road was made particularly difficult to walk due to the initial light snow, and the journey was naturally much slower than usual. In less than two hours, Sheng Zijun, who was feverish, already felt a little tight, and his tone became inexplicably anxious between his dry mouth and dry mouth.
"Uncle Niu, we've been gone for a while, why haven't we arrived yet?"
Uncle Niu, who was holding a firewood knife to open the way in front, chopped the low bushes that blocked the way, and answered Sheng Zijun's question at the same time.
"According to our current footsteps, there is still an hour before we reach Bilong Pond."
"What?! It's going to take another hour!! It's really going to break my leg. ”
Suddenly, Sheng Zijun's grievances turned into complaints in his mouth, and Uncle Niu, who obviously answered, was a little embarrassed.
"Doctor Sheng, forgive me, we didn't take this mountain road to enter Bilongtan, but didn't it snow a few days ago? When the snow first melts, the dangerous road that opens on the mountain wall must be slippery; For the sake of safety, we had to take a detour, so it took a bit more time. ”
These apologetic words were like a loud slap in Sheng Zijun's face, and he was immediately speechless. Although time is precious, it is more precious than human life, and Sheng Zijun also understood the shame from Uncle Niu's answer.
In the middle of the loss, Sheng Zijun turned to look at Zhu Xishi, who was following closely behind him, and was constantly wiping the hot sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, and it could be seen that she was also nervous at this time. But in contrast, she didn't even frown, she still gritted her teeth and walked without complaining, and suddenly Sheng Zijun's shame became a little heavier.
A big man complains, not even as a weak woman, it's really embarrassing to lose face!
However, although Sheng Zijun's personality is a little more delicate, he is not unreasonable, since he made a mistake, he also apologized to Uncle Niu quite honestly.
"Uncle Niu, Zijun is a little impatient, so there is no seriousness between the words. I hope you have a lot of seas. ”
"Doctor Sheng, aren't you tormenting my big cow by saying this? Our family would like to thank you for bothering about Xiaomei before and after the saddle. The simplicity of the people in the mountains and wilderness, with a smile as bright as the sun in this valley, hurriedly untied the water hyacinth on his waist and handed it to Sheng Zijun: "Doctor Sheng, why don't we stop and rest our feet first, and drink saliva to relieve fatigue?!" ”
"Uncle Niu doesn't need it." took the water hyacinth handed over by Uncle Niu kindly, but his footsteps did not stop, and he didn't seem to want people to underestimate him: "Hold on, I'm afraid that this day may change again, let's talk about it when we go to Bilongtan." ”
Uncle Niu, who relies on the mountains and eats the mountains, is usually used to going around in the mountains for a long time, and this bit of footsteps is not difficult for him. Although he wanted to take care of Sheng Zijun and Zhu Xishi, he couldn't find anything wrong with Sheng Zijun's rejection, after all, the climate change in the mountains is complicated, and maybe this sunny day will change his face in a while; Uncle Niu was also inconvenient to be more stubborn, nodded happily, and continued to open the way ahead.
Boiling the mouth of the water hyacinth, Sheng Zijun hurriedly poured a breath of cool mountain spring water, and suddenly a cold slam swept all over his body, like a rooster shaking its feathers. However, this cold silence came well, and Sheng Zijun's whole person regained a lot of spirit. During the debugging room, Sheng Zijun paid attention to Zhu Xishi behind him, presumably she was also dry at this time.
Without hesitation, Sheng Zijun handed the water hyacinth in his hand to Zhu Xishi.
"You've been walking for a long time, you're thirsty, drink some water."
Zhu Xi didn't twist much, and hurriedly took the water hyacinth handed by Sheng Zijun, and poured a breath of mountain spring water as Sheng Zijun did before, and the fatigue on his face was also relieved a lot.
Zhu Xishi, who quenched his thirst, wiped the water stains at the corners of his mouth, handed the sealed water hyacinth back to Sheng Zijun, and politely thanked him: "Thank you." ”
"Everyone is all the way, what is there to be polite about Miss Zhu."
Suddenly someone is willing to talk to you, and naturally the long journey becomes less boring. Sheng Zijun waited for Zhu Xishi for a few steps, then walked side by side with her and began his journey of asking more questions.
"By the way, Miss Zhu, your guanzi has been sold long enough, can you talk about it now?"
"Say what?" Zhu Xishi, who was in a hurry, glanced at Sheng Zijun slightly from the corner of his eye.
"What else could it be, naturally how you catch snow clams!"
His complaining emphasis, now is not playing petty, it is this Zhu Xi who has hung his Sheng Zijun's appetite high! Since the two of them high-fived and swore an oath, Zhu Xishi didn't say a word about how to catch snow clams, so he was very tight! only explained that he had raised the snow clam he caught, and the rest of the rest was completely cut off.
In the few days before setting off into the mountain, Sheng Zijun used all the means of soft, hard, grinding, and Lai, such as eighteen martial arts, but he couldn't pry open the sealed iron mouth of Zhu Xishi. Curiosity is like this, if you don't say it, the more mysterious it is, the more curious people will be, and the more they will ask questions.
"What are you anxious about, won't you know in a while? Why should I bother to explain it to you at this time? ”
"But I'm just curious! Miss Zhu, you have hung my appetite for several days, and it is time to reveal some mysteries, don't always eat alone and enjoy it alone! It's better to be alone than to be happy, right? ”
"Do you think this is a portion of the baked cake, do you have a share of it?! Doctor Sheng, I've survived so many days, and it's not too late; When it's time to reveal, it will naturally be revealed. ”
Although Zhu Xishi's mouth was clean, there was a hint of joy in her cold eyes before, and now looking at Sheng Zijun's anxious appearance, it seems that she is deeply satisfied with the previous plan to drop the big fish in the long run.
"You woman is really small-bellied, not upright at all, is the old hanger have an interesting appetite?! You're looking for a happy master."
It's a person who is in a hurry, and Zhu Xishi, who still keeps his mouth shut, finally forced Sheng Zijun to be anxious again! His feet jumped straight and roared in Zhu Xishi's ears.
The pleasant color on his face became more and more obvious, Zhu Xishi turned his head to look at Sheng Zijun with a calm expression, a pair of slightly thick eyebrows shook like flying feathers, and returned to him with great amusement: "Don't say it, it's really interesting." Who told you to believe me? ”
Put snow clams, fish Sheng Zijun, and the hook is still biting the ground! Looking at Sheng Zijun's helpless little fool, I was afraid that if I sold him, I would have to count the money for myself, and the wishful thinking in Zhu Xishi's heart was really a seed.
