Chapter 439: Go into the mountains to find something

After agreeing with Lu Jiu to enter the mountain, Xia Qiqi made a lot of preparations.

finally waited until a sunny day, and early in the morning, Xia Qiqi began to make cakes in the stove room.

These loaves are to be taken to the mountains to eat.

Lu Jiu said that the place where the lacquer tree grew was far away, and the road was not easy to walk.

To go there, you should be prepared for at least two or three days.

He is the overlord of the mountains, and Xia Qiqi naturally listens to her for everything.

In the gap between the pancakes, her father Xia Duofu also got up, he wanted to make furniture for Xia Duogui, and early in the morning, he chose wood at home.

Choosing and choosing, Leng didn't find the right one.

Knowing that Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu were going to enter the mountain, Xia Duofu was cheeky, walked up to Lu Jiu, and said to him: "Ah Jiu, you are more familiar with the things in the mountains than me, Uncle asked you to do a favor, and you will ...... Success? ”

Lu Jiu nodded, "What's the matter?" ”

"I took a look, the wood I stored at home is basically nothing to use, but Uncle Seven, Seven, Six, and the furniture used by the family must be wood.

When you and Qiqi enter the mountain, can you help me pay attention to what good wood there is, and help me make a mark, I have to go into the mountain to cut it myself. ”

Lu Jiu nodded, "When I go with Qiqi, I'll help you find it, how big a tree do you want, what kind of tree?" ”

Xia Duofu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Jiu was willing to help him.

It took a while to compare with Lu Jiu the wood he needed.

Lu Jiu wrote down all Xia Duofu's requirements.

At this time, Xia Qiqi's cake is almost the same.

Smear a little beef sauce, a little tempeh oil, even if it is an ordinary cake, you can hook people, and your mouth is overflowing.

Xia Qiqi left a few cakes for the family, and explained that the two younger sisters were good at taking care of the house, she and Lu Jiu took good tools, went out of the village, and went to Hupi Mountain.

Tiger pounce on the mountain has always been a taboo for the people in the village, in the past, everyone was afraid of the beast above, and now it is.

However, last time Xia Duoshou killed a cow at the foot of the mountain, and added a lot of magical colors to the Tiger Skin Mountain.

Except for Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu, basically no one has gone to Hupi Mountain.

Climbing halfway up the mountain in one breath, Xia Qiqi looked at the boundless mountain and asked Lu Jiu, "Ah Jiu, where are we going?" ”

When she turned around, Lu Jiu was marking the big tree.

Xia Qiqi leaned up and asked, "What's wrong?" Afraid of getting lost? Marking a tree? ”

Lu Jiu shook his head: "Your father said to make furniture for your sixth uncle, ask for wood, let me help make marks, he will come back to cut down, but when I am ready to go back, help him get it back." ”

In front of Zhi Qiqi, Lu Jiu did not hide anything.

Even what he thought in his heart was told to Xia Qiqi.

Xia Qiqi nodded with satisfaction.

"Then you tell me, what kind of tree he wants, let's make a mark together."

The two of them stayed for a while, marking a lot of trees, and then Lu Jiu took Xia Qiqi to a path that she had never walked before.

It is indeed a small road, the road is very narrow, and there are thorns everywhere, and if you are not careful, a layer of skin and flesh will be scraped off your hands and face.

Lu Jiu took the brick knife and cut it all the way, and the trip was naturally not fast.

Looking at this situation, Xia Qiqi said: "Ah Jiu, don't cut it, I don't know how long this road is, our strength can't be wasted on this." ”

"No, it's easy to hurt people." Lu Jiudao.

"I'll just cover a face towel. What's more, you are tall and I am short, I cling to you, and the thorns will not hurt me. ”

Xia Qiqi knew that Lu Jiu was afraid that he would be injured, so when he proposed, he also deliberately considered this.

Otherwise, with Lu Jiu's temperament, he would never agree.

"Then you follow me closely!" Lu Jiudao.

Continuing to walk towards the depths of the mountain, the sunlight gradually thinned, and in the forest, the trees became denser and denser, and there were a lot fewer thorns.

After walking for two or three miles, Xia Qiqi turned around and couldn't see the shadow of Dayu Village at all.

The line of sight is extremely unwide, but this forest is like a place where fierce beasts haunt.

"Ah Jiu, have you ever caught prey here?" Xia Qiqi asked curiously.

"No, there won't be any beasts here! Here, you can also breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"Really?" Xia Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

The bow and arrow in her hand are well practiced.

But in the end, it can't compare to Lu Jiu, if you encounter a very powerful beast, you can only run for your life.

Thankfully, there are no beasts to fear.

"Ah Jiu, how long have you been wandering around in this forest?"

After going to the foot of the mountain, Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu had very little time to return to the mountain.

Xiaobai, who was brought out of the mountains by her, has also become a housewife, helping to watch the children every day.

"One year, two years, three years...... I can't remember. ”

Since entering human society, Lu Jiu's mind seems to be getting more and more blurred about the memories of the mountains.

He even forgot what it was like to hunt an animal in the worst weather.

He also forgot how he was lying in a cave covered in blood, licking his wounds.

On the contrary, the memories after knowing Qiqi have become clearer and clearer in my mind.

"It's a good thing that I can't remember clearly, so long things, why bother remembering and wasting memory."

Xia Qiqi knew that most of Lu Jiu's previous memories were bloody and violent, and if he could forget them, it would definitely be a great thing.

The two of them continued to walk, and gradually, the roar of the beast could be heard.

There was no need for Lu Jiu to remind him, Xia Qiqi clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

"Don't be afraid, it's not near us." Lu Jiu reminded Xia Qiqi.

For the animals in the forest, Lu Jiu has a natural intuition.

He only needs to listen to the sound and smell the smell of the animal, and he will know clearly.

Xia Qiqi looked at Lu Jiu with a look of adoration, "You are really amazing, if you hadn't followed you, I would have to be frightened when others heard this roar." ”

"Yes!" Lu Jiu accepted Xia Qiqi's praise.

Take Xia Qiqi and continue to walk forward.

He said that the sumac tree is far away, that is, far away.

Xia Qiqi walked all day, his legs were almost numb, and he didn't see the lacquer tree.

But fortunately, there was no danger along the way.

Before dark, Lu Jiu took Xia Qiqi to find a cave nearby and built a fire.

The food for the night was a few pancakes and two jugs of water.

It's not convenient to get water in the mountains, and the only thing you can use is wild berries, but that thing is sour, and it's okay to eat a little in a short time, and after a long time, it's no different from suffering.

Outside, the sky was getting dark.

Inside the cave, because of the fire, it is still bright.

There was still a long night to stay in the cave, and Xia Qiqi suddenly felt bored.

He rested his head on Lu Jiu's lap and chatted with Lu Jiu.

"Ah Jiu, do you remember the first time we met?"
