Chapter 322: In the Mountains
After a short time, chasing the clouds came back, and then led a few people to the left front, about a quarter of an hour, an open space seven or eight meters wide appeared in front of him.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the peak on the left is a small peak seven or eight meters high, the peak on the right and the peak in front of it, and the peak is not visible from the position they stand.
The small valley is quiet and cool.
"There is a water source, there are wild fruits, a good place to rest," Niu Junfeng pulled the placket of his clothes, and fanned it with his hand, looking at the small valley.
He looked at Su Ran, "Huaxia, how can the white wolf be so smart!" ”
"Yes! How did it know there was a valley and a water source? ”
Ma Zhenghong looked at the three wolves not far away with a rare face, he wanted to step forward and touch it, but he didn't have the guts.
The white wolf's cold eyes swept over, and his heart trembled, and his legs became weak.
"The wolf's sense of smell is the most powerful among all beasts, not to mention the king of wolves, if you can't even find the most basic water source for survival, it's not a joke!"
Su Ran checked around to confirm that there was no danger, put the back basket next to the white wolf, and then walked to the edge of the small waterhole at the foot of the mountain in front of him.
The waterhole is one meter deep and two meters wide, surrounded by aquatic plants, the water is crystal clear, there are some small fish in it, and you can see a few small springs in the mud.
"Let's rest here for two quarters of an hour, and then we will hurry," Su Ran looked up at the fruit falling from the side of the mountain, and beckoned to Niu Junfeng behind, "Niu Junfeng, help me pick the fruit above." ”
Among the five boys, Niu Junfeng is the tallest, at least one hundred and eighty-five, and then Lin Shihai and Ma Zhenghong, about 180, and Zhu Mingli and Luo Xun about 175.
Luo Xun is only sixteen years old, relatively speaking, there is a great possibility of growing taller.
"What kind of fruit is this, emerald and verdant, not ripe yet!"
Although Niu Junfeng was asking, he also jumped up and pulled the branch down.
"This fruit is like this," Su Ran picked one, wiped it directly on his clothes, and then took a bite.
The flesh is not sour or astringent, extremely crisp and crunchy, not very sweet, but delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Shihai walked over, and when he asked, he had already reached out to pick it.
"Hmm~ good seven!" Niu Junfeng bit half a fruit in his mouth, said vaguely in his mouth, pulled the branch with one hand, and quickly stuffed the fruit into his arms with the other.
"Brother Su, Brother Su, come here, do you see if this is Ganoderma lucidum?"
Zhu Mingli's excited voice came from not far away, because he was too excited, the voice was a little louder, startling the birds in the nearby trees.
Ma Zhenghong was picking fruit on the other side, but he was startled by his sudden loudness, and turned around to complain: Don't you know that you can't shout in a dangerous place? It's going to scare people to death.
But he was attracted by the Lingzhi lucidum in Zhu Mingli's mouth, so he had to hold back what he was about to say back into his stomach.
The fart trotted over.
Su Ran glanced around the stone wall, but didn't see any snakes and insects, so he looked at the Ganoderma lucidum growing in the crack of the wall with confidence.
"Yes, it's about ten years."
Brownish-red reishi mushroom, very ordinary.
Zhu Mingli's eyes lit up, "Can I pick it up?" ”
"I'll pick it, I'll pick it," Ma Zhenghong rubbed his hands and was about to step forward. Niu Junfeng next to him suddenly reached out and pulled him aside.
"This kind of thing, don't rob me, I'll pick it, don't hurt the root of Ganoderma lucidum."
Su Ran looked at the three of them with an idiot on his face, "This is an ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, is it worth fighting for like this?" After a pause, he said: "The parents are good, what are you going to do to pick people, it is still a young seedling!" ”
Lingzhi: This adult is right, they are still young, please let them go.
Ma Zhenghong: "You don't understand, what we pick is not Ganoderma lucidum, it's fun." ”
Niu Junfeng nodded, "Yes, this is the first time I've seen Lingzhi in the mountains!" ”
Su Ran walked back, sat on the ground next to the white wolf, and said to a few people: "Don't be skinny, hurry up and rest, we have to continue on our journey, and we have to find a safe place to spend the night before dark." ”
While the attention of several people was not here, he pulled out the spiritual spring and gave it to the three wolves to drink.
The unique freshness of the spiritual spring water entered the mouth of the white wolf before it had not been far away.
She did it very secretly, her palm was under the wolf's mouth, and even if they looked at it, they only thought that the white wolf was adding her hand.
Along the way, they didn't encounter any danger, but when Lin Shihai and the five of them heard that they were going to spend the night in the mountains at night, they were still a little frightened.
Niu Junfeng moved over and squatted down a meter away from Bai Yu, "Huaxia, where are we going?" You haven't said what you're doing in the mountains! ”
The other four people also looked over, and they were also curious about where Su Ran was going to take them.
"Go find some medicinal herbs and some materials to make paints, and by the way, find some good wood to make painting scrolls."
Zhu Mingli suddenly said, "No wonder you used to say that the materials for pigments are not easy to find, so you have to go into the mountains to find them!" ”
Fortunately, I have always cherished those paints, otherwise, I am so sorry for Brother Su's hard work in risking the danger to enter the mountain.
After eating some fruit in the valley to satisfy their hunger, and resting for more than a quarter of an hour, the six men and three wolves continued on their way.
Su Ran was going to pick the peak of the Liuji grass, although she couldn't remember the road anymore, but the white wolf knew, especially Chasing Yun, she also met the two of them there, and Xiaoqing.
Thinking of Xiaoqing, Su Ran sighed in his heart, and he didn't know how long it would have to sleep.
After walking for more than two hours in the afternoon, although they encountered big beasts, they were all single, and they did not dare to provoke them at all, and the small beasts scattered far away.
The journey was uneventful.
Su Ran stopped, looked at the somewhat familiar peaks in front of him, and looked at Chasing Yun in front with a smile, "It seems that you have studied the route of this mountain range in the past six months." ”
Along the way, they took them to take shortcuts, and although the road was rugged and difficult to walk, the distance was shortened.
Like the mountain peak in front, she and Xiao Molan and others stayed there overnight before, if this is according to the previous route, at least tomorrow at noon.
"Is it there?" Zhu Mingli's panting hand rested on the trunk of the tree on the side, his hair was a little messy, and his body was slightly embarrassed.
The other four were fine, except for the hair strands that were a little messy, sweaty on their bodies, and their faces were not red or panting.
"It's almost there, there's a cave in front of us, and we'll spend the night there tonight."
A few people looked at the surrounding peaks, only to feel that they were so small, and they always felt that something was peeping in the dark.
Lin Shihai spoke, "Let's go!" ”
"Okay, I'll see pheasants or something on the road, shoot a few, there's a canal over there, you can clean it there."
When Niu Junfeng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took the bow in his hand and raised his heels.
