Speaking of the things Xiaobai hates to do the most, the first choice is to chop wood, don't look at her spending nearly half of her time chopping firewood in Fuyidi, but every time it is not enough for a month, the open space behind the welcome is the place where she has to chop firewood nearby because of insufficient firewood, and over the years, it has become bigger and bigger.

She picked up her machete and slashed at a tree with a loud shout, and said indignantly: "I should let God slash me with a bolt of lightning!" Maybe I can still practice peerless martial arts like in the play! ”

At the same time, it was as if God had heard Xiaobai's unreasonable request, and a white light flashed in the dim sky, and then there was a loud noise, "Coax"! Huge lightning fell from the sky, pierced the sky, illuminated the mountain stream, and slashed straight in front of Xiaobai.

"Ahh Xiaobai was startled by the rumbling thunder, threw away the machete, held his head and shrunk into a ball, and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, at this time, the sky began to rain, and then it became bigger and denser. "What the hell, I thought it wouldn't get down." She hurriedly put away her machete and branches on the ground, and ran towards a cave under the waterfall.

As soon as she wiped the water stains on her body, a large red light in the distance attracted her attention, "It can't be that the lightning just burned the tree, right?" The red light was accompanied by thick black smoke, "crackling", it was not yet night, but it was really infiltrating. But fortunately, because of the rain, the fire didn't burn for long.

Xiaobai lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, changed into a set of clean clothes, just now was so anxious that she didn't notice that it was past noon, thinking of a large pile of fruits sent by Geely, she took out half a piece of melon, an apple, and a pear from the space, because the conditions were really limited, she only cut these into small pieces and put them in a white porcelain plate, and ate them slowly with a bamboo skewer.

Seeing that the sky was gradually clearing, it was nothing more than a thundershower. Xiaobai washed the dishes and put them in his bag, ready to chop wood again. The place where it was burning just now was also gone, and the place was a little further south than where she was, thinking of something, Xiaobai smiled and ran towards that place.

Walking through a bamboo forest, I saw the place where it was burning, "Sure enough, it's the same as I thought, haha, there's charcoal, now it's time to barbecue!" "But isn't it, a large number of trees are burned black, Xiaobai moves very fast, scattered on the ground, she directly received the space, those who are still dying and struggling will use machetes to chop down and then put in. Seeing that it was almost dark, she didn't feel it, and only concentrated on cleaning up the charcoal.

Until a piercing cry pierced the night sky, I don't know what kind of bird it was, it sounded a little scary. At this time, Xiaobai had collected an astonishing amount of charcoal, and her own body was also black. Under the moonlight, this picture of chopping wood looked like a demon crawling up from hell, and Xiaobai couldn't help laughing. Touching my stomach, I was really hungry.

Thinking of the bamboo shoots she saw in the bamboo forest just now, she couldn't help but want to roast two to eat, but she was really tired when she moved her arms. Forget it, go wash it first, and then eat whatever you want.

There were caves all over the place, and Xiaobai was not worried about where to rest at night, so after freshening up, she changed into a set of clean clothes, took out the futon and got into it. Next to the fire was freshly washed laundry, and that's how she was, she liked to be clean. Look at the hour, it's past the hour. She closed her eyes, and the only thing that remained around her was the sound of her shallow breathing.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, at that hour, she awoke. Quickly packed up everything and took out two eggs. Today's plan is rushed. I want to dig up fresh bamboo shoots, and chop some firewood, and go to the ruins to see by the way. The ruins were a bit far away, and she had to hurry.

After yesterday's rain, the bamboo shoots grew surprisingly fast, she moved skillfully, the shovel dug a quasi, watching those fat bamboo shoots jump out of the soil, Xiaobai was in a good mood. Looking at the spring bamboo shoots all over the ground, she felt a sense of accomplishment, and with a wave of her hand, she took them all into her pocket.

The growth period of these spring shoots is very short, and when she comes back next month, the bamboo shoots will become a little less crisp and refreshing than they are now. Thinking that there was not much bamboo in stock at home, she put some bamboo into it by the way.

Wiping his sweat, he took out a bamboo tube filled with spring water and poured two sips, but saw that the sky was dark again, "Won't it rain again?" "She still has a lot of work to do, and the rain is too late." There's no time, hurry up and chop wood! ”

Just as Xiaobai was working hard for the next month's wood, two people were desperately looking for an exit in the southernmost part of the Hidden Land. One of them walked in the front, looking to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with disheveled hair, frightened and embarrassed, with two bloody streaks on his face, tears and fear in his eyes, and trembling as he walked ahead.

The middle-aged man who followed behind him was a little pale, and his body was covered with mud, but he was a hundred times stronger than the young man, and his expression was very calm. Apparently the two men had been in here since yesterday and had not found a place to hide from the rain, their clothes were clinging to their bodies and dripping with water.

"Young master, you didn't listen to the old lady's instructions at all, you acted so willfully and recklessly, let the sixth son and Yu Yue die in vain, how are you going to explain to the old lady?"

"Shut up!" The boy stopped, his red eyes glaring at the man who was a head taller than him. "Shut up! I never forgot my grandmother's words! I just don't want to disappoint her anymore. He burst into tears, his hanging hands clasped tightly together, and the man felt that his words were a little heavy, and he just wanted to reach out and say comfort.

There was another loud bang in the air! The downpour poured down like a flood from a floodgate. "Young master, hurry! Go under a tree to take shelter from the rain. But before the two could stand firm, the silver dragon fell from the sky, and with a "boom" split a thick cedar tree, and the broken branch was about to crush the two, and the man violently pushed the boy aside, and before he could react to what was happening, a scream came into his ears, and he saw that the man who had protected him from the landslide was buried there motionless.

Thinking of what happened from yesterday to today, the young man felt uncomfortable and desperate, in this environment, he didn't know what to do, his mind was full of the screams of the dead Liuzi and Yu Yue. He was afraid that he was going to die here, in this ambush that he was bent on entering. Just like the flash flood ten years ago, he will be buried here like the people of Bell Town! He was so scared, was this the punishment for his waywardness? He only felt that his eyes were dark, his body was weak, and he fainted.

Xiaobai felt that it was unlucky to come out this time, it had rained for two days in a row, and she hadn't collected enough firewood. But she couldn't work in the rainstorm, so she had to wear a coat and run to the ruins.

The ruins are in a mountain col, the first time Xiaobai saw this, he felt that this place must be the place where the original villagers lived, the terrain was flat, and the appearance of the original cultivated land could be seen, because the time was too old, some houses have become dilapidated, and even weathered into scattered stones. The beams lay on the ground in a mess, covered with large patches of fungus.

Although it is a bit difficult to chop wood, it is still possible to dig up some wild vegetables. Anyway, I'm already soaking wet. It was just after noon, and she didn't feel hungry, so she dug up dandelions and shepherd's cabbage on the ground.

This is a wild vegetable that only comes in spring. Shepherd's cabbage dumplings Xiaobai likes to eat them very much. Thinking that the old lady of the Lin family has not had a good appetite, I want to get more for her to taste, after all, not many people will bother to dig this wild vegetable now, and everyone is living a good life, and there is no need to worry about this bite of food.

The rain gradually became lighter, and Xiaobai's bamboo baskets were also full. Even with the fungus on the rotten wood, these wild vegetables are enough for her to cook for half a year, no wonder she worked hard to stock up, this place is big, what to do every month is planned, she can't mess around, otherwise the menu to welcome guests can't keep up, and it will be even more difficult to survive in winter.

When the rain stopped completely, she put away her coat and felt cold when the cool breeze blew it. To the east of the ruins is a shady place, surrounded by mountains, but in the middle of it is like spring, because there is a hot spring that rises from underground. Every time she passes by here, she has to go to Bubbles. It wasn't too close, and she had to climb a mountain, but luckily she was quick.

The dense forest to the south is like a maze array, and no one can get out without being familiar with the terrain, let alone this hidden hot spring, which is actually the highest altitude in the entire volcanic land, and the cliffs to the east are even more expansive forests. The entrance to the hot spring is a very narrow passage, which is difficult to find, but because the surrounding mountains are very high and the vegetation is dense, the heat of the hot spring has not been able to spread out.
