Chapter 357: The Mysterious Woman
Yangcheng Lake is very close to Suzhou City, so even Hu Ye's hot air balloon, which was pierced by the arrows shot by the Eight Bull Crossbow, still staggered to the top of Yangcheng Lake under the blowing of the strong wind.
The current Yangcheng Lake is different from the Yangcheng Lake that Hu Ye knows, it is a whole, and it is not divided into West Lake, Middle Lake, and East Lake.
And it looks very beautiful, sparkling, although not as big as West Lake, but it has the same taste.
However, Hu Ye doesn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangcheng Lake now, nor does he have time to think about when to go to Yangcheng Lake to catch hairy crabs to eat.
What he had to think about now was how to survive!
The hot air balloon was pierced, and the hot air that had already begun to cool down was almost leaked, and now not only is there no lift, but even when it is a parachute, it is a little reluctant.
So now Hu Ye's falling speed is very fast, although it is not as good as free fall, but it is not much better.
But fortunately, it is not high above the ground now, and there is a tree in front of it, so if you fall on the tree, you should have a better chance of survival.
After all, Yangcheng Lake is not as deep as West Lake, and it is not so big, even if it falls, it should be able to survive.
Just as Hu Ye was thinking, the strong wind just now stopped again, and without the momentum to move forward, the hot air balloon became a burden, and it slowly stopped.
At this moment, the air in the hot air balloon was almost leaking, so Hu Ye fell from the air at a speed of almost free fall.
"Save the suffering and save the Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Buddha who sacrificed his life to feed the eagle......"
When he fell, Hu Ye begged all the immortals he knew, he didn't think it was a shame, people are afraid of death, what is the cowardice of the expression at the critical juncture, anyway, no one here hears it.
Perhaps Hu Ye's prayers played a role, and he landed steadily on a large banyan tree with the hot air balloon. He was also put on top of a large branch, and then a huge pile of silk cloth was pressed down, and he weighed dozens of pounds.
But fortunately, the number that held Hu Ye was strong enough and was not crushed.
But it was bitter for Hu Ye, he was pressed by dozens of pounds of things, and the branches below happened to be stuck in the crotch, and there were bursts of pain under the crotch, which made Hu Ye, who was already hungry, in pain, so he had to use all his strength to get out of the weight of the hot air balloon first. Then think about the problem of the next tree.
"Whew!"
Finally escaped from under the hot air balloon, Hu Ye fell on a bigger number and gasped, he now really wanted to have a hot big pig's trotter, preferably marinated, sprinkled with some chili sauce, put it in his mouth and enjoy it.
Hu Ye suddenly felt that there was something more in his hand, and it felt soft to the touch.
"Could it be that the dream has come true, and God really brought me a pig's trotter?"
Hu Ye was stunned, there won't really be a god, right?
"That's not right. Pig's trotters should be hot, why is this thing cold in the hand? ”
Hu Ye immediately realized that something was wrong, so he raised his arms and opened his eyes. At a glance, I almost didn't drop my soul.
What kind of pig's trotters is this Nima, it is a snake with thick wrists, and its cold body makes Hu Ye's hands cold. The two eyes stared at Hu Ye deadly, as if to warn Hu Ye not to act rashly.
And the letters that came in and out at that time, seemed to say. If you don't let go, Lao Tzu will bite you to death.
Hu Ye was startled by the injured thing, and habitually leaned sideways to touch the flintlock pistol on his waist.
Although using a gun to kill a snake is suspected of using a cannon to hit mosquitoes, that thing is its killer weapon.
But Hu Ye forgot one thing, he was now on the branch, not on the ground, and turned sideways, only to find that he had rolled down the branch.
"It's over, it's over! Now I'm going to fall to my death. ”
Hu Ye looked at the air at a height of more than ten meters, this is not Taihu Lake below, it is a real earth, even if there is a layer of leaves underneath, if you fall down this time, you will have to be crippled if you don't die.
"Damn, it would have been better to fall down with Ruan An if I had known, it's better than now."
When he fell again, Hu Ye regretted that he didn't fall with Ruan An at that time, at least the West Lake was deep and would not be directly killed.
Originally, Hu Ye still wanted to pull the snake to be buried with him, but the snake had already wrapped up in the branch, and his body was very slippery, and Hu Ye couldn't catch it as soon as he fell, so he had already taken it off.
However, it was this time that saved Hu Ye's life, because that time made Hu Ye change direction, but he was able to catch a big hanging root of the banyan tree.
"My good man, fortunately it's a banyan tree, if it's another tree, I guess it won't be saved today."
Holding the big root and slowly sliding down, Hu Ye said with palpitations.
The banyan tree is known as a forest, relying on developed roots and whiskers, which are everywhere, and it is precisely in this way that Hu Ye's life was saved.
"You damn snake! When Lao Tzu is full of food and drink, he will arrest you and drink it! ”
Although Hu Ye didn't drink much, he still said viciously.
But if you look closely, the snake turned out to be pure white, and it also stuck out its tongue at Hu Ye.
"I'll go, won't the legend of the White Lady be true?"
Hu Ye couldn't help but shudder, thinking that this place is not far from West Lake, it can't be the White Lady who ran to Yangcheng Lake to make trouble, right?
Hu Ye still admires his imagination, but he doesn't have time to think about it now.
He only knew that this was near Yangcheng Lake, and he was not familiar with it at all, and he didn't know if there were people nearby.
And it's been a day since the last meal, and as for the steamed porridge in the morning, it has all been spit out in the bamboo basket of the hot air balloon, which means that I haven't eaten it.
So what Hu Ye has to think about now is to fill his stomach.
Looking up at the white snake again, Hu Ye shook his head and dispelled the idea of eating snake soup.
If that thing is really a little weird, it won't be easy to get tangled up with yourself.
So Hu Ye had no choice but to climb up hard and began to look for food in the woods.
It's the middle of summer, and there are a lot of wild fruits in the woods, but Hu Ye is not an expert in wild plants, so he can't tell what fruits are poisonous and what are not.
If you accidentally eat the poisonous fruit and die in this wood, you will be wronged.
Therefore, Hu Ye will only pick and eat the fruit he knows when he sees it.
For example, there is a date tree in the front. It was covered with fingertip-sized dates.
But it's the end of May, and the dates aren't ripe at all.
But Hu Ye couldn't care so much, picked a few dates and sent them to his mouth.
As a result, Hu Ye was tortured a lot, there were no ripe dates, and the sourness directly made Hu Ye's brows furrow, and he immediately threw away the remaining dates.
It's better not to eat this thing.
I had no choice but to continue looking for something to eat.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, Hu Ye searched in the woods for almost an hour, and he was almost faint from hunger. Suddenly a litter of bunnies was found.
"I can finally eat a roast rabbit meal."
Hu Ye suddenly came to his senses, with the stimulation of food, he didn't care about being hungry, so he quickly caught two rabbits that couldn't run, although the meat was a little less, but it was not a problem to fill his stomach.
Seeing that his brother was captured, the rest of the rabbits in the rabbit nest looked at Hu Ye with some fear.
"Look at it, be careful that I eat you too!"
Hu Ye said viciously, and then went to an open place. Tidy up a clean place, put the two rabbits on one side, and go to find firewood.
Soon, a hug of dry firewood has already appeared. Hu Ye took out the fire fold and lit the firewood.
"Fortunately, when I was in the academy, I lit the fire oil and didn't throw away the fire fold, otherwise I would have to eat raw meat today." Look at the firewood that is burning more and more. Hu Ye said with great satisfaction, not noticing that under a big tree not far away, a pair of eyes were staring at him.
"Alright. Now it's time to skin you. ”
Hu Ye took out a knife and looked at the drawings that could not be seen and ran with saliva in his eyes, as if he had seen two delicious roast rabbits.
However, at this moment, Hu Ye felt a figure running towards him.
When he looked up, he found that a big rabbit had appeared in front of him, with two ears erected high, a three-petaled nose exhaling and inhaling, and two eyes staring straight at the little rabbit in Hu Ye's hand.
"I'll go, won't I, these two are your sons?" Hu Ye looked at the big rabbit in a daze, and didn't know what to do for a while.
The big rabbit stepped forward slowly, but it was very vigilant, it was reluctant to give up his child, but it was very afraid of Hu Ye, because the two-legged human was very dangerous, and it remembered that the old mother told it so.
looked at the cautious big rabbit, and then at the two little rabbits that were shrunk into a ball, and for a moment, Hu Ye couldn't do it.
He knew that rabbits were very afraid of people, and as soon as someone appeared, they would have run away several meters away.
But this mother rabbit dared to come to her and ask for a child from herself.
"Is this a mother's love?"
Hu Ye muttered to himself, remembering his former mother, who had not seen each other for several years, and now that he had come to the Ming Dynasty, he would have no chance to meet.
In an instant, Hu Ye put down the knife and put down the rabbit in his hand.
The mother rabbit hurriedly stepped forward and ran back with a rabbit in her mouth.
"Am I doing this on my own?"
Hu Ye looked at the firewood that was already burning, and his heart was entangled, if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long he would be hungry.
The eyes under the big tree in the distance looked at Hu Ye, and suddenly there was a strange light.
Soon, the mother rabbit returned, ready to take the other rabbit back.
However, Hu Ye saw that the mother rabbit had a radish in her mouth and put it in front of Hu Ye.
Then he ran away with another rabbit in his mouth.
Picking up a piece of radish on the ground, Hu Ye smiled bitterly, "Two rabbits for one turnip, I'm really good at business." ”
Just as Hu Ye was about to skewer the radish and roast it to eat, a woman in white came out from under the big tree and said to Hu Ye, "Don't bake it, come with me to eat a bowl of hot rice." (To be continued......)
PS: Haha, guess who this woman is, who appeared before
