Chapter 62: Searching for the River

I was really confused by the second monk, and the Taoist priest was also strange, and asked several times in succession, but the old turtle pretended not to hear, and quickly climbed onto the bed between me and the doctor, and lay in the middle with a big face, with all fours facing the sky.

Almost at the same time, the Taoist priest also shrank into the quilt on the ground, and the movements were so skillful that those who didn't know thought that he had slept on the floor since he was a child.

The Taoist priest who had shrunk into the mattress smiled smugly at us, gloating with a grim face.

Looking at the bed that had been occupied by the old turtle, the corners of my eyes and I twitched unconsciously, and we suddenly understood why the Taoist priest was so skillful in burrowing into the floor......

……

We didn't say anything all night, and the next day we woke up early, or rather, we didn't sleep much at all.

The dead turtle of the damn - is too domineering, a bowl is so big, it actually occupies my bed and the doctor's bed, I reasoned with it, but I didn't expect this old Wang Ba to bite people without saying a word......

I had no choice but to go and squeeze the floor with the Taoist priest, and the doctor meditated cross-legged for a night with a helpless face.

Since I basically didn't fall asleep much, the corpse Gu didn't have a seizure, and when I got up, I glared at the sleeping old turtle with hatred, and went out to fight with the doctor.

At noon, I asked Lao Gui for two futons, so there were two more seats on the side of the Taoist monk's bunk......

Since the third uncle left a message, asking us to wait for the situation, if they haven't come out after a week, we will act according to the situation. Now that only a day has passed, we are idle, so we let Lao Gui take it to a fun place near Toast Tai, which is not only to pass the time, but also to travel.

The sun was very good during the day, and the weather was even a little hot, which made us feel the scorching heat of midsummer in this deep winter.

This kind of weather lasted for several days, and in the past few days, at first it was Lao Gui who took us out to play, and later, Xiu Ling took the initiative to go out with us. For this request of the little beauty, we naturally will not refuse, and Lin Qiaoer's relationship with Xiuling has become very close in the past few days, and the two girls can also be companions, so our tour guide has changed from Lao Gui to Xiuling.

During this period, we visited the slightly more interesting places around Toast Tai, of course, those were limited to the safe areas near Toast Tai, and whenever we wanted to go deeper, we would be sternly rejected by Xiu Ling.

This is a very helpless thing, we wanted to find the possible lake in the deep mountains of Toast Tai in the name of play, but Xiu Ling didn't give us a chance at all.

On the fourth day after the third uncle and their team entered the mountain, there was still no news at all, and I began to be a little worried.

The Taoist priest told me, saying that the third uncle took the waterway when they entered the mountain, that is, the river that flows into the water gourd, if I am really not at ease, we can walk up the river today, although I don't know if they will change the direction of the mountain road in the future, but at least there will be no deviation in the first section, after all, those people from the Heavenly Witch Sect have rented boats, if it is only a short distance, it is not necessary.

I felt that it made sense, and immediately agreed, and the doctor had no objection, and the matter was settled.

After breakfast, Xiuling and we proposed to go upstream to the river, but she was a little hesitant and seemed to be a little embarrassed.

We felt very strange about this, so we asked her what was wrong, was there something wrong?

Xiu Ling sighed and said that it was not a big problem, but in recent years, there have been many accidents in that river, and now the people in the village basically don't go there. If we want to go over, it may be dangerous.

We hurriedly said that we would just go over to see it, and never go deeper, and then asked the doctor to persuade in person, Xiu Ling reluctantly agreed, but there were also requirements, that is, we must listen to her, when she asked us to go back, we had to go back when we wanted, and we could only go ashore, not take a boat.

The former one is okay to say, anyway, when we get to the place when the time comes, whether we listen to her or not, the decision is ours, whether we can take a boat, doesn't that mean that even if we find a clue to the third uncle's route, we still have to honestly retreat?

No matter, let's go check it out first.

We made a decision on the spot and agreed to Xiuling's request.

Before leaving, Xiu Ling made a lot of preparations, and borrowed a long-handled firewood knife for one of us to defend ourselves, saying that no one had been in that area for many years, and there might be wild beasts. Due to the strong sun during the day, we all took off our coats and wore only a warm shirt with folded sleeves.

Xiu Ling sighed after seeing it, and then moved a thick stack of old clothes from the house, looking at the style, they were all worn by Lao Gui.

She picked one out of the clothes, blushed, walked to the doctor shyly, put the clothes on the doctor, and told us that there are many sharp thorns on the other side of the river, and the thorns of those thorns are slightly poisonous, and the skin is easy to be allergic and inflamed after being pricked.

Suddenly, although we all envied the doctor's treatment, we still knew it in our hearts, and we didn't expect anyone to help with dressing, so we and the Taoist priest randomly picked a suitable one to put on.

In addition, Xiu Ling also prepared some other things, all of which were small things, so I won't repeat them here.

When we were ready, it was already early, and we each wore a straw hat to hide from the scorching sun above our heads and set off.

We chose the mountain forest on the left side of the water hyacinth depression, as Xiu Ling said, the road is very difficult to walk, especially after the range of the water hyacinth depression, the forest becomes dense sharply, only the sparse sunlight can fall, and the forest is also full of poisonous thorns and thorns that Xiu Ling said.

It was a thorn I had never seen before, and all the thorns on it had barbs, and even though they had dried up, the barbs were still tinging a little blue-black.

We walked cautiously through the forest, the Taoist priest walked in front to open the way, Xiu Ling followed behind him to show the way, and my body was also tightly wrapped, just like that, I was still pulled by two missing thorns, and there were several more blood marks on the back of my hand.

At first, I didn't really care about it, because Xiu Ling said that the thorn was only slightly poisonous, but as I walked, the strained area began to itch and swollen like a sausage. I couldn't help but curse in my heart, saying that this Nima is the so-called micro-poison? If he accidentally scratches his eye, won't he just swell into a blind man?

Fortunately, Xiu Ling expected this situation, and there was a bottle of white grease in the things she had prepared in advance. After applying this oil to my wound, the itch quickly disappeared, and a trace of coolness passed through the wound to the heart and spleen, and the redness and swelling also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I was very curious about this oil, and Xiu Ling told me that it was the oil boiled when the goose was killed at home, and it had a miraculous effect on the poison of thorns.

I was disappointed by this answer, and I didn't talk nonsense, and I kept going, and soon we heard the sound of rushing water nearby.
