Chapter 13: Into the Mountain

Hongdou scared him and held up a cloth bag containing a woodcutter: "Self-defense." ”

Mi Houjun teased: "This self-defense weapon is good, but it is really heavy." ”

Hongdou nodded: "It's time to take advantage of it." ”

Mi Houjun's waist was hung with a short knife with a black leather sheath.

Although Hongdou was born at the foot of Linglong Mountain, she has never really entered the mountains since she was a child.

The farthest is the high hillside where she climbed up to dig wild vegetables the year before last and almost fell to her death.

It's good to die, Mi Houjun just walked towards the hill upright.

Suddenly, the back of the one in front of him walking through the withered yellow mountain grass and green shrubs.

gradually turned into He Caixiu wearing a red silk shoulder lock and a green thick skirt.

"Red Bean, look at it, there are a lot of bitter herbs here, I didn't lie to you, right?"

"Red beans, there's a big bitter herb there, I can't reach it, come and help me."

Immediately afterward, a man's vicious voice seemed to echo all over the mountains: "Go down and die!" ”

In an instant, the red bean was wrapped in these terrible sounds, and he didn't know where he was.

Mi Houjun climbed up the hill and suddenly found that the red beans seemed to be missing behind him.

Looking around, the branches of the mountain grass and trees swayed, and there was no small figure of red beans.

In a panic, he hurriedly looked back.

The downhill is fast, and the even walk takes out the slip.

I saw Hongdou standing on the slope of the mountain.

Just now, he just cared about climbing up, how could he have thought that the red beans were delayed here?

"Red Bean, what's wrong?"

Suddenly seeing Hongdou's face pale and tears in his eyes, Mi Houjun was startled.

Ran to the red bean in a few steps, squatted down and pulled the red bean skirt is a mess.

Red Bean suddenly came to his senses.

Anxious: "What are you doing?" ”

Seeing that the pants under the red beans were well tied, Mi Houjun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Scared the hell out of me, I thought you had been bitten by something."

Red Bean muttered, "No ......"

Calm down, said to Mi Houjun: "Walk well, what are you doing when you run down?" ”

Mi Houjun stretched out his hand to her: "Come, Hongdou, I'll pull you." ”

Red Bean shook his head: "No need to ......"

The two of them quickly climbed over the hillside, which looked very steep, but where only a few bitter herbs and weeds grew and low shrubs.

The real Linglong Mountain gradually spread out in front of you.

Along the barely walkable mountain road, I walked through two or three mountain nests with a few families.

Gradually, the two climbed a hillside overgrown with tall bamboos.

Although it is close to the winter moon, those tall bamboos like cloud covers are still green and eye-catching.

The faint mountain roads trampled out by the hunters are covered with countless thick and wide bamboo shoot leaves.

These large bamboo shoot leaves that can be picked up at hand also bring great convenience to the people at the foot of Linglong Mountain.

The hillside is smooth and long.

The bamboo forest was full of chirping and chirping wild birds, and many small beasts scurried by.

They met a hunter in the bamboo grove who was laying a clamp.

Almost all the hunters on the nearby mountains recognized Mi Houjun, and saw this Mi Shaodong suddenly go up the mountain.

This Orion's name is Jin Laojiu.

Jin Laojiu was surprised, so he had to take Mi Shaodong's house.

They said that their new wild wine in autumn has not yet been opened, so they just invite guests to try it.

Mi Houjun took a lot of time and promised to turn back, but Jin Laojiu was willing to let them go.

According to Jin Laojiu's instructions, Hongdou and Mi Houjun walked for most of the day before they walked out of this dark bamboo forest.

Turning over the bamboo forest, the mountain road becomes more and more difficult to walk.

In some places, there are no roads at all.

It was easy to climb over a dangerous cliff, and the two suddenly saw it.

On the mountain in front of me, there are many tall and short trees, and the leaves on the branches are about to fall away.

Looking at the ground again, my heaven is full of open chestnut buds that fall down after the fruit is ripe.

Hongdou couldn't believe his eyes, and blurted out, "So many hairy chestnuts? ”

Mi Houjun exclaimed: "There are indeed treasures everywhere in the mountains. ”

"There are so many hairy chestnuts, the people on the mountain don't take it seriously, and they don't want to carry it."

"There are few people under the mountain, and they can't come up."

Hongdou muttered: "There are so many hairy chestnuts, it's good to pick them up and use them as rations." ”

"If you land here, in addition to giving squirrels, foxes, wild badgers to eat, you can only rot here in vain."

As he spoke, he picked up a few shiny chestnuts and gnawed them open with his teeth and ate them.

Mi Houjun also picked up a few and nibbled on them: "Speaking of which, it's a bit of a pity." ”

He raised his head to look at the sun in the sky, "We've been walking for so long, it's already far from the bottom of the mountain. ”

Red Bean understood what he meant.

The mountains are rugged and dangerous, not to mention these hairy chestnuts, which are gold and silver, how can they be transported out?

The ripe raw chestnuts were crisp and sweet, and the two of them had been hungry for a long time.

When I met this chestnut, I saved a meal of dry food.

"I've got to think of something, no matter what, get some of these chestnuts out first."

Thinking of the old and young with yellow muscles and thin muscles on Longshan Pass, Hongdou secretly made up his mind in his heart.

The foot strength of Hongdou and Mi Houjun is very good, but the mountain road is getting more and more difficult to walk.

Look at the entire undulating mountain has begun to be overshadowed by the sunset, and the fairy cliff still doesn't know where it is?

Red Beans were a little skeptical, were they lost?

During the difficult trek, there was a 'squeak, squeak' cry, I don't know where it came from?

Hongdou and Mi Houjun walked in this mountain for a day, and there were all kinds of birds and little beasts everywhere.

But they all felt that the squeaking sound of this little beast was very different.

It was as if he was injured or caught by a strong enemy, terrifying and miserable.

Red Beans couldn't help but stop and look around.

Mi Houjun was tall, and immediately pointed to one place and said, "There, it's a little monkey." ”

Hongdou was surprised: "There are still monkeys in this mountain? ”

Mi Houjun smiled: "How can there be no monkeys in the mountains? ”

Suddenly, I thought of this Mi Shaodong's name again, and I couldn't help but be ridiculous again.

But I heard him continue, "Don't be afraid, I heard Orion say that there are wolves and jackals in this mountain." ”

At this time, Hongdou couldn't laugh.

For a moment, I felt like my scalp had exploded.

But she still didn't show weakness and said stiffly: "If there is, there will be it, if you are not afraid, I am not afraid." ”

Mi Houjun smiled, parted the bushes in front of him, and the two walked over together.

I saw a thin old monkey from the bushes, which had been dead for a long time.

A small, poor, fluffy little monkey was snuggling up to the stiff corpse of the old monkey.

Seeing someone coming, the little thing opened wide with a pair of cute big eyes.

The mouth kept squeaking, as if trying to escape.

But it seemed to be reluctant to give up its mother, and its body turned around, and shrunk even more awkwardly at the neck of the old monkey.

This can make the red beans feel bad.

She hurriedly took out two handfuls of the hairy chestnuts she had picked up in the sack of the firewood knife and held them in front of the little monkey.

Mi Houjun sighed: "The old monkey died, and this little monkey was reluctant to leave, so he could only starve to death. ”

When Hongdou heard him say this, he simply took out all the wild chestnuts in the bag and piled them together in front of the little monkey.

The two of them left the bushes and waited quietly for a long time.

The little monkey cowered away from the dead old monkey and walked to the pile of wild chestnuts.

Stretching out his front paws, he grabbed a wild chestnut and hurriedly brought it to his mouth.

Red Bean exhaled: "Okay, at least it won't starve to death for the time being." ”

As soon as the sun sets, the depths of the mountains become particularly dark.

Because Fang Cai Mi Houjun said that there were wolves and jackals in this mountain, Hongdou couldn't help but be frightened in his heart.

While walking one foot high and one foot low, he secretly prayed that he would hurry up to the fairy cliff.

Otherwise, it's good to meet a mountain nest with a home.

People say that if you don't forget, there will be an echo.

Hongdou was muttering secretly in his heart, and in the depression in front of him, there were many shadows, as if there was really a thatched house.

Even if there is only one thatched house, in this deep mountain and old forest, it is very valuable.

Hongdou hurriedly said to Mi Houjun: "Mi Shaodong, look, is there anyone there?" ”

Mi Houjun also sighed: "I finally met someone." ”

"Let's go and see, can we spend the night?"

After going around for a long time, the mountain road was almost invisible, and the two of them walked into a mountain depression where there were people.

Fang was far away, and the shadow of the mountain was dark.

When I arrived, I saw that in front of the thatched hut, there was a wall made of thick tree stumps more than one person high.

Moreover, this circle of stump fences has not yet been left out.

Looking at the thatched hut again, there was no light in the house, and the door was closed.

Mi Houjun and Akindo were about to shout and ask if there was anyone in the house.

Suddenly, I saw a man with something on his shoulder.

On a mountain road, I walked quickly.

Mi Houjun said to Hongdou: "This person may be the master here." ”

Before the words fell, I saw that the man had already arrived.

Seeing two people standing outside the wall, the man was also a little surprised.

He asked, "Which mountain nest is the guest from?" Why is it dark to run me here? ”

It turned out to be a woman.

Seeing that the owner was a woman, Hongdou hurriedly said: "Sister, we are from Longshan Pass under the mountain, and we want to go to the Immortal Cliff." ”

"It's getting dark, and I see someone here, and I want to trouble staying overnight."

The woman looked at the red beans and looked at Mi Houjun.

smiled: "The guest doesn't think I'm too small in this house, just stay for one night." ”

Hongdou was also very happy to see this mountain woman so refreshing.

Hurriedly said: "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

Mi Houjun also hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness, we will pay you more." ”

The woman smiled.

Hongdou and Mi Houjun have already seen clearly that what this woman is carrying on her shoulder is a killed roe deer.

The woman carried the roe deer on one shoulder, and with the other hand, she pulled out four or five thick stumps at the main entrance.

Go to the yard and throw the roe roe on the ground with a "bang".

said: "Fortunately, I ran a few mountains to catch this game. ”

"Otherwise, I would really treat the distinguished guests slowly."

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and walked into the house.

Touching the fire sickle, the ignition lit an oil lamp.

Said to Hongdou and Mi Houjun, "Please take a seat." ”

She has smooth stone benches inside and outside the house, and in the small courtyard, there is a small stone table with stones.

The woman walked out of the door and took out a shiny knife from the leather bag she was carrying.

Drag the roe deer to the door, and follow the light from the house.

The four hooves are placed in the sky, and the belly is neatly cut open and the skin is peeled to extract the meat.

He walked to the back of the hut and scooped water to clean the roe deer meat.

Red Bean followed and wanted to help her light the fire.

The woman said, "Girl, go and rest, I'll be there in a while." ”

He must not ask Red Bean to help.

Hongdou and Mi Houjun saw that she was busy, and they couldn't intervene.

They were indeed tired, and could only sit silently opposite each other on the stone benches next to the stone table.

It was more than an hour before the woman came out of the small kitchen at the back.

Holding a pot of steaming cooked roe deer meat in his hand, he placed it on the stone table.

smiled: "Let the distinguished guests wait for a long time." ”

Only then did they see clearly that the fairy flower was beautiful, and she was only twenty-four or five years old.

Hongdou said gratefully: "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

The woman smiled: "My name is Sun Xianhua, and the girl can call me Xianhua." ”

Red Bean almost laughed again, the name ...... Good.

Mi Houjun arched his hand to Xianhua: "Thank you, Sister Sun." ”

Qi, isn't this product mean, won't you call someone Sister Xianhua?

Hongdou and Mi Houjun walked the mountain road for a day, and they were really hungry.

The roe deer meat boiled by fairy flowers is a rare delicacy, and no one is polite.

Xianhua is the master, and sits down at the stone table, picks up a piece first, bows his head and eats himself.

Mi Houjun reached out and picked up a piece and handed it to the red bean.

Red beans don't: "Thank you Shaodong, I'll take it myself." ”

Reach for it too.

Mi Houjun forced the meat in his hand to the red beans: "This piece is not hot, you take it and eat it first." ”

Red Bean had already reached for the cooked meat in the basin, and sure enough, the rest of the meat was very hot.

Before you know it, you retract your hand.

Mi Houjun had already put the piece of meat in her hand.

Soon, a pot full of cooked meat was eaten by the three of them with their hands.

Xianhua diligently scooped a bowl of broth for each of them.

I don't know if I'm too tired, or if I've eaten and drunk this delicious food that I've never eaten before.

The red beans are full of oil stains on the mouth, and the taste of the broth is delicious in the mouth.

Before I knew it, I lay on the stone table and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but Red Bean was almost startled in his dream.

I felt horrified, as if I was being tied.

She felt a chill in her heart and suddenly opened her eyes.

She struggled so hard that she almost fell

Finished......

His hands and legs were really tightly tied.

On another look, she was no longer in the front yard.

Instead, he was put in a hut.

Through the light of the bean's size, Hongdou saw that he was sitting against the wall.

Look for Mi Houjun again......

The bundle was particularly miserable, like a pig and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

His hands and feet were tied behind his back, and he was thrown on his side in the middle of the house.

Probably because of the fear of men's strength.

The worst thing is that at this moment, Mi Houjun is still asleep.

Outside, it was still night.

Red Bean sighed a little in his heart.

I didn't expect to meet the legendary mountain king in this deep mountain and old forest.

Don't think about it, Sun Xianhua must have been poisoned with ecstasy in the cooked meat that she and Mi Houjun ate.
