Chapter 41: Into the Ten Mile Mountains (2)
Although hungry, Xia Solstice did not sit on the stone all the time to rest. She thought that there was still some time for the sun to set in the west, and instead of sitting still, it was better to use this time to walk in the ten-mile mountains, and she couldn't get out anyway, maybe there would be an unexpected gain.
Xia Zhi took a wooden root in his hand, although it was late autumn, and everywhere was yellow, and the lush weeds had already withered and exposed the yellow earth. But the summer solstice is still afraid of snakes, and the summer solstice, who has grown up in the mountains since childhood, understands that anything can be in the mountains, especially in ancient times when this animal was overflowing, it is better to have a weapon in hand, although it is just a wooden stick.
This time the summer solstice learned wisely, and used stones to mark and mark the trees he walked on, so that he would not get lost. And she is based on the stone she is sitting on as the origin, only looking for it within a few miles of this, and she will return to the original point without going out of the summer solstice once, although it is a little troublesome, but it is very practical.
After several searches, Xia Zhi found that there are really a lot of good things on the Ten Mile Mountain, but unfortunately there are many things that are out of season, only bare trees remain, and after this time, it is estimated that there is no chance to enter the Ten Mile Mountain.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhi thought of his own father and said, "Xia Solstice, how many times have I said that I am not allowed to go to the fish pond alone", and he looked angry and ruined, and smiled unconsciously and squinted. Xia Zhi considered whether to let Daddy and Uncle go up the mountain to dig some saplings back next year, so that it would be better to have some fruit to eat, but at the moment it is still important to find ginseng.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and the summer solstice was not gaining anything, she searched almost inch by inch within a radius of several miles, not to mention ginseng, and did not even see the shadow of other herbs.
Xia Zhi had no choice but to give up, judged the direction of the south according to the sun, and walked back. If you don't go back, it is estimated that you will not be able to walk out of Shili Mountain before dark. Originally, the summer solstice should have gone back when the sun was just setting in the west, but there was still a little place left to find at that time, and the summer solstice was unwilling to go back so empty-handed, so he kept finding it now. At this time, it was about the middle of the Shen time, and now the hour when it was dark was about the middle of the unitary time, and there was an hour when she could walk out of the Ten Mile Mountain.
It's just that Ji Lu can't catch up with the changes, the summer solstice can't find a specific road in this ten-mile mountain at all, can only go forward according to the direction, meet the ditch over the ditch, meet the soil slope over the soil slope, meet the ditch around the ditch and continue to walk, so down to see that the sun is about to go down, the journey has not gone halfway, suddenly the summer solstice is anxious, this autumn mountain is cold not to say, the summer solstice has only drunk some gruel in the morning so far, at this time is tired and hungry.
The anxious summer solstice had no choice, so he had to speed up himself, and sometimes the ground was flat and even ran, which was much more effective than before. However, although the effect is obvious, Xia Zhi is even more anxious, because the sky sun has disappeared, which means that the night is coming, and Xia Solstice can only run quickly, hoping to get out of the mountain before dark.
"Hu ......" struggled to climb over the hillside, and Xia Zhi really had no strength to continue to move forward, so he could only stop and rest. At this time, Xia Zhi was a little discouraged, and he couldn't estimate the situation clearly, so he caused such a thing, but he had lived on the side of the mountain for more than ten years, and he made such a mistake.
After a while, Xia Zhi struggled to get up and continue to walk, but after all, she was only five years old, and she walked for a day without food, and only picked some fruits on the way to quench her thirst, and her whole body was very weak, and she couldn't lift her feet.
This is not just tripped by the stake under his feet, seeing that he was about to fall on the stump in front of him, Xia Solstice frightened his feet and rolled to the right side of the soil slope, but he didn't expect that the right side was a steep soil slope two or three meters deep, Xia Solstice rolled down directly, not to mention the clothes that were hung up, and the body was scratched a lot, the feet were twisted, and the head was broken, the only thing that was fortunate was that there was no heavy bleeding, otherwise how could she stop bleeding in this mountain.
Xia Zhi stood up with the big tree next to him, first checked the injuries on his body, and wiped the blood stains on his head with clean clothes, and then began to look at the environment he was in, and found that there were many trees here, and there was almost no sky, and the ground could only be seen clearly from the light spots exposed between the cracks in the trees, but Xia Solstice was terrible, and there was a ginseng growing under this tree.
Xia Zhi was suddenly overjoyed, and ran forward regardless of the pain. She just felt that she hadn't fallen in vain. Thinking that the uncle was saved, he cried with joy, and then he cried loudly, and in this quiet mountain forest, he only felt that the summer solstice crying was very sour. Xia Zhi couldn't tell what he was crying for, maybe he was happy, maybe he was sad, maybe he was wronged, in short, the moment he saw the ginseng, there was an emotional urgency in his heart that needed to be vented.
After crying, Xia Solstice also calmed down and began to dig ginseng. I just saw ginseng and I was happy and crying, but I didn't see it clearly, there was a piece of ginseng under this tree, and it was estimated that there were more than ten or twenty of them that could be dug up. It can be clearly seen that the middle one is the ginseng king, and the rest of the ginseng is growing around this ginseng king.
This is gratifying to the summer solstice, she suddenly felt that this wrestling was too worthwhile, even if she fell to death. It seems that this king is the person who does not move on the summer solstice for hundreds of years, and her children and grandchildren are at least a few decades old, as for those who are only a few years old, the summer solstice automatically ignores, she doesn't plan to kill the children and grandchildren of other people, if you leave a line in the future, it will be good to meet.
For the summer solstice, who does not have any tools and does not know how to dig ginseng, digging ginseng is to pull ginseng with both hands, fortunately, the soil here is very loose, and it is not effortless to pull it out on the summer solstice, but if Dr. Xu is here, he must be the dog who scolds her, because she is too violent. Fortunately, when the summer solstice was pulled, he also knew that the road was digging and digging the soil, otherwise it would be really a tyrannical thing, and it was necessary to know that the ginseng of the king of the king of the mountain was also very valuable in this northern land.
happily put the twenty-five ginseng dug out in his pocket, and Xia Zhi began to think about how to go back. Although the slope is steep, there are trees on both sides, and the summer solstice is estimated to be able to climb up with the trees on both sides, which is a little hard, and it is not a problem at all for the summer solstice, which is now full of strength and twisting feet.
On this day, he and the other two brothers of the Tian family not only begged and begged in front of the medical center in Niangniang Town, but also found many rich and noble people under the guidance of Dr. Xu, but they all had no gain. At this time, Tian Lao Er and Tian Lao San were still staying in Niangniang Town to find a way and take care of Tian Laoda, and his family came to talk to Daddy and Auntie about the situation.
It's just that when he said this, the Tian family fell into even more despair. Wang's strong body almost fell down again, Lin's heart was even more unhappy, Lao Luo's head was lowered more ruthlessly, Li's crying was even more serious, Zheng's was busier, the children were more scared, Tian Laosi was also very weak, so he could only go to the town tomorrow to think of a way.
When everyone dispersed, Tian Laosi found that there was no summer solstice among the children sitting on the kang, he thought that Xia Solstice was going to see fish again, so he didn't ask, and went out of the house directly, but when he came to the fish pond, he didn't think that Xia Solstice was in the kitchen, so he went home and went into the kitchen, and found that there was no. When he saw Zheng cooking, he asked, "Child, what about the summer solstice?" ”
"Is it with Lichun and them, or by the fish pond, that's all she does!" Zheng said without stopping his hand and without looking back.
"The fish pond is not there, and it is not with Lichun and them!"
"Ahh If she doesn't go back, where can she go! Zheng turned his head in surprise and asked.
"I know the way, I know the way, the sixth sister, I haven't come back since I went out in the morning!" Tian Liqiu, who had just entered the kitchen, said.
"What!" The two of them were surprised.
Tian Laosi walked up to Tian Liqiu quickly, squatted down and asked, "You mean, your sixth sister hasn't come back since she went out in the morning?" Tian Laosi was anxious, but he was afraid of scaring Tian Liqiu, so he slowed down his tone as much as possible, but with a little eagerness.
"Well, I watched the sixth sister run over there, and she asked me to come home first, saying that there was something!" Tian Liqiu pointed in the direction of the north of the village with a look of admiration, for the three-year-old her, the sixth sister is a great person.
Boss Tian didn't care about this, he got up and ran out of the door, and turned his head once in the middle, and saw that Zheng was still stunned, and suddenly roared, "What are you doing stupidly, the child doesn't know how to go if he doesn't come back for a day, and he hasn't gone out to look for it!" ”
Zheng had grievances in her heart, but at this time, she didn't have any time to be wronged, so it was important to find the child quickly. And when Tian Laosi and Zheng ran out to find the summer solstice, the Tian family also knew about the loss of the summer solstice because of Tian Laosi's shouting.
Except for Wang, who was still lying on the bed, and Liu, who was with a child, everyone else ran out in a panic to look for it. The last thing is that the Liu family also handed over Xiao Bailu to the Wang family, and also went out to find someone. The Wang family also wanted to go, but was dissuaded by the Liu family, after all, Boss Tian didn't know what happened to the road, and this child must be saved.
The family asked door to door, but no one knew the road, and the last one was Tian Laosi who asked the north of the village, saying that it was like seeing a child enter Shili Mountain. This time, the Tian family was cool in their hearts, but someone in this ten mile mountain never came out, the summer solstice has not come back until now, the possibility of being more auspicious is too great, Zheng directly knelt on the ground with weak legs, and burst into tears.
"I don't believe it, my daughter will be fine! Life to see people, death to see corpses! Tian Laosi hurriedly reddened and said, "Auntie, Daddy, you take someone back, I'm going to go into the mountains to find the summer solstice, my child, I will definitely go and find her back!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed into Shili Mountain, and Li didn't even shout.
Zheng saw Tian Laosi running in, got up and wanted to run in, but was dragged by Lin, Tian Laosi she couldn't stop it, Zheng she stopped it, this ten-mile mountain is not for anyone to enter, the family held Zheng or she went in, and dragged her back to Tian's house, but at this time she was not in the mood to cook, so she only sat on the kang and wiped her tears. But the naïve Tian Liqiu seemed to know that his sixth sister had been lost, and he cried with the Zheng family vigorously, and the environment of the Tian family became even more depressing.
Xia Zhi finally climbed the dirt slope with great effort, and continued to walk along the previous route, at this time the sky was already dark, and the whole forest was very dark, but although Xia Zhi's whole body hurt and limped away, Xia Zhi's whole body was full of joy. Xia Zhi thought that Uncle Tian could wake up, so he felt that the trip was worthwhile, although he suffered a little.
Finally, before dark, Xia Zhi faintly saw Tianjia Village under the mountain, but he was startled by the figure that suddenly came out. It is said that Tian Laosi ran all the way, and saw a small figure limping in the distance, and when his head was empty, he rushed forward. When he rushed to the front of him, he found that it was the summer solstice, and he picked her up, and "pop" was two slaps, these two slaps were not like before, they were beaten by Tian Laosi with all his strength, and you can imagine how painful it was.
Xia Zhi had just come out of the fright, and before he was happy to see his father, he was beaten and grinned. However, she didn't make a sound, but laughed twice and took out the ginseng in her arms, "Daddy, look, I found ginseng!" It's just that Xia Zhi, who was beaten by his own father before, didn't cry, but at this time he said this sentence with a crying tone.
Tian Laosi looked at the ginseng held by his daughter with a broken head and a small flower face, and suddenly understood that his daughter entered the mountain to find ginseng, and his voice choked up, and he actually shed tears. At this time, he regretted that he had grown up with his daughter. It was only when I saw that my daughter was shocked, frightened, happy, and angry that I unconsciously moved.
At this time, he was speechless, only silently hugged his daughter, rubbed Xia Zhi, and the two went home in silence all the way.
