There was a lot of trees in the woods, and there were red branches of sea buckthorn growing around them, because no one picked them, and the fruit hung on the branches.

Qin Bumei cheered and quickened her pace.

"Haha, great, if we don't hurry, we can stay here for ten days and a half!"

Yue'er had never seen such a strange valley, and she couldn't help asking: "Are there many valleys like this in the Altai Mountains?" ”

Qin Bumei nodded.

"Yes, a few, there are a few places with better scenery than this, but we have to hurry and don't have time to see the valley."

Yue'er was a little surprised: "It's better than the scenery here?" ”

Qin Bumei smiled.

"Of course there is, the Altai Mountains are too big, some valleys can't be found at all, you have to hang down with a rope, it is said that there is a cave below, suitable for seclusion."

Yue'er is a little demented, the scenery here is so quiet, how good would it be if you built a hut here to live in seclusion with your beloved?

As soon as she thought of her lover, Yue'er's sincere smile suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she felt a pain in her heart, and couldn't help but ask herself: "Can Zhen'er really keep it for three years, should I go back early?" But Zhaoju's cold eyes appeared in front of her again, and she shook her head fiercely, telling herself that she must not go back, because once she went back, it would affect Zhen'er.

Xi'er asked Qin Bumei: "Mr. Qin, have you walked this road?" ”

Qin Bumei laughed: "Of course I have walked through, but I have never camped here, you see that there are still traces of caravans walking here." ”

Yue'er saw that the branches in the distance were tied with red and yellow cloth strips, which were probably marks made by passers-by, she was paying attention to them along the road, and she had encountered several similar marks along the way, some hung on trees, some pressed on stones, and thought that even if there was no guide, as long as you followed these cloth strips, you could go over the mountain.

"Shall we spend the night here tonight?" ”

Qin Bumei replied: "Yes, if you want to go to the next valley, it may be dark, you can't be in a hurry in this kind of place, I would rather get up early tomorrow and hurry." ”

Xi'er took a few steps and looked around.

"Okay, then I'll see where I can camp?"

Qin Bumei said: "Miss Xi'er, don't run, this is also a mountain, the air is still thin, you must walk slowly, you must not run when you go down the mountain, if you run around, maybe you will fall down and never get up again after running a hundred steps!" ”

Yue'er nodded, they walked in Gaochang Country for three months, and so far they can still adapt to this climate.

In fact, the Altai Mountains are not too tall, which is a bit unbearable for Nan Muchen and Princess Mandarin Duck, but it is not a big problem for people like Yue'er and Xi'er who have received strict training since childhood, but Qin Bumei is more difficult than the two of them.

Qin Bumei was still panting.

Yue'er saw Xi'er staring at the woods, and couldn't help asking, "Xi'er, what are you looking at?" ”

Xi'er stared ahead and whispered, "I want to go and see if that forest is in danger, if not, we can rest well at night." "She's always been a killer, sensitive to any potential threat, and the grove seems to be hiding uneasiness, and she's going to check it out.

Qin Bumei smiled.

"Girl, I'm afraid of strange valley winds here, and we can't camp in the open."

Xi'er asked: "What kind of wind is the valley wind?" ”

Qin Bumei said: "It's just that the cold and heat on the mountain and the bottom of the mountain are different, and the air whirlpool formed is a bit like a tornado, but not as big as a tornado." 139 Reading Network

Xi'er sighed.

"Alright, well, I'll go and see if there are any wild beasts in the woods, and I'll look for wild fruits, if it's dark, I won't be able to see clearly!"

Qin Bumei waved his hand, he knew that he had to carefully investigate the surroundings when camping in the wilderness, but there were generally no wild beasts in this kind of place in the valley, at most there were poisonous snakes, and they lit a bonfire at night.

"Girl, there must be nothing in the woods, I walked with the Nine Emperor Princes in the Altai Mountains, there are many such places, you can go and see, but be careful not to step on the floating sand, then it will be a big trouble, and also, you take a branch to explore the way, be careful of poisonous snakes, there are many kinds of snakes here in the Altai Mountains, those snakes are not hibernating yet, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, it will be troublesome!"

Xi'er waved her hand and broke a branch and walked into the woods.

Yue'er asked, "Mr. Qin, you said that there are wild fruits in the valley, where are the wild fruits?" ”

"Haha, far away in the sky, close in front of you!"

Qin Bumei smiled, broke off a sea buckthorn branch, and stuffed the red sea buckthorn into her mouth and chewed it.

"Miss Ran, this is a wild fruit, you eat this, it is sour and sweet, and it can quench your thirst!"

Yue'er sighed, folded a piece of sea buckthorn and chewed it, and sure enough, it tasted good.

The air was filled with the scent of flowers, and there was a buzzing sound, and Yue'er found that although there were no birds in the valley, there were still bees.

Qin Bumei also saw the bees and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, let's look for it, there's honey to eat!"

Yue'er saw that those wild bees were not small, and snorted.

"Be careful, these wild bees are so big, you can't stand a sting!"

At this time, Xi'er had already walked out of the woods, and she found two beehives in the forest, and there was no danger in the others, so she came out and circled the valley, but she suddenly shouted on the side of the cliff: "Master, Mr. Qin, you come and take a look-"

Yue'er was nervous when she heard her scream, so she put down the sea buckthorn and trotted over.

Seeing Yue'er running over, Xi'er hurriedly opened her arms to stop her, shouting, "Master, be careful-"

Yue'er asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xi'er pointed ahead: "Master, there is an abyss here!" ”

Yue'er was taken aback, she looked down, and sure enough, there was an abyss on one side of the valley, two zhang at the widest point, and more than one zhang at the narrowest point, and the bottom was black and bottomless, and there was a steep cliff on the opposite side of the abyss.

At this time, Qin Bumei also walked over, he looked down, and glanced at both sides of the abyss.

"Girl, this is not an abyss, this is a big rift valley, maybe there is a meadow below, the Altai Mountains are strange, there are many such old rifts, you see, there is green on both sides of the rift, if there is a new crack, there will be these."

Xi'er sighed, pointed around and asked, "Look, there are still several big cracks on the mountain here, will there be wild beasts sneaking over at night?" ”

Qin Bumei nodded and shook her head.

"It's unlikely, we haven't even seen a mouse along the way, what are bears and tigers eating? But let's be careful and be vigilant when camping at night. ”

Xi'er frowned, the environment here is harsh, and a few more people may go to check all these rifts, but there are only three of them, and it will be dark after doing this.

In fact, Yue'er listened to Huhe's grandfather's warning, and was a little nervous at first, but they walked for seven days without incident, so they slowly relaxed their vigilance.
