Chapter 120: Encountering a snake in the middle of the night
"It's good, then we won't be afraid of getting sick when we live in the mountains and forests in the future." Luo Lihua said with a smile.
"It's better not to get sick, you can get a few cloth bags and pack all these herbs, and you will always need them in the future." Luo Gensheng handed the herbs into Luo Lihua's hands.
"Well, then tomorrow I'll sew a few small cloth bags, and I can hold some herbs later." Luo Lihua carefully put the herbs on the stone slab and said, and then said to Luo Gensheng: "You should be hungry when you go out for a long time, I have roasted these yams, go eat some." β
"Well, I've been hungry for a long time, and as soon as I got to the entrance of the cave, I asked about the scent of yams, and you see where the little black bears have gone." Luo Gensheng smiled as he looked at the little black bear running into the cave.
"Haha, haven't I heard that wild beasts are afraid of fire, why is this little black bear not afraid of fire?" Luo Lihua looked at the little black bear who was about to run into the fire and said with a smile.
"Maybe it's still young, and besides, it's been living with us for a few days, maybe it's a normal day, and it has forgotten that it's a bear." Luo Gensheng also said with a smile, and the two of them came to the fire and began to peel the yam and eat it.
The little black bear also scooped up a piece of skin and gnawed it together, and when they had finished eating, they all lay down on the stone slab and were ready to rest, and the fire next to them was still burning.
"Brother Gensheng, do you remember how long we've been away from home?" Luo Lihua suddenly asked, they have been running around non-stop these days, but they have forgotten to be homesick, and now that they are idle, they are starting to feel homesick.
"It must have been February by now, we left home on August 25th, I remember it clearly. It's been half a year. Luo Gensheng said with emotion.
"Yes, half a year has passed, I don't know if our parents should be happy or sad if they know that I am still alive, and I don't know what happened to them and Shizhai, did they fight?" Luo Lihua said with some concern.
"Don't worry about this, when we find a place to settle, I'll take you back and take a look quietly." Luo Gensheng looked at Luo Lihua and said that he had never told Luo Lihua about Xiumei's marriage, but he was also a little worried about what happened to Xiumei's marriage.
"Really, we can go back to see them, I'm afraid they don't want to see us." Luo Lihua originally wanted to see her mother again, and she was very happy, but after thinking about it, maybe everyone couldn't see them, and she felt a little sad.
"Well, but we can only look at it secretly, and on the bright side, the two of us have disappeared into their world." Luo Gensheng said.
"But why did Daddy send someone to find us, and did he want to arrest us back, or what?" Luo Lihua asked.
"I don't know Uncle's intentions yet. Okay, let's not think about things we don't understand, let's sleep well, maybe tomorrow is another good day, and I can go out and find a good place. Luo Gensheng said, rolled over and went to sleep.
But in the middle of the night, Luo Gensheng felt very cold, so he pulled the bear skin on Lagai's body, and suddenly touched a cold thing, Luo Gensheng was so frightened that he woke up, he touched it again, and the cold thing was as long as a stick, and it would move.
"Ouch, it's a snake!" Luo Gensheng immediately thought of this terrible thing in his mind, threw the cold thing into the distance, quickly got up, and looked around, it turned out that the fire of the fire was extinguished, and the cave was dark. He hurried to the edge of the fire, added some firewood, and lit it again with a flint stone.
The cave immediately lit up, and Luo Gensheng saw that there were several snakes crawling under the stone slab where they were sleeping, and the one he threw away just now had already climbed on the stone slab, so he shouted loudly: "Pear Blossom, Pear Blossom, wake up, there are snakes." β
"Snake, where is the snake?" Luo Lihua sat up in shock and shouted.
"Right under the slate where you're staying, I wonder if there's anything else on the slate? I just threw one. Luo Gensheng looked at Luo Lihua with some concern and said. Luo Lihua left and turned the whole bearskin up, and used the firelight to see if there were any snakes on the slate.
"It's okay, no snakes, no snakes." Luo Lihua said with a sigh of relief, and then looked at the little black bear next to her, it was still quietly leaning on the stone, curled up and sleeping, but it was also looking forward to a snake with a yellow dot next to it.
"Brother Gensheng, look, there is a jumping snake next to the little black bear." Luo Lihua shouted in surprise, Luo Gensheng immediately glanced at it, the snake coiled that day was motionless, Luo Gensheng immediately picked up a burning firewood and slowly walked into the little black bear, just about to approach the snake, it "shuttled" and ran away.
"Ah, it seems that snakes are also afraid of fire, now it's okay, pear blossom, don't move, I'll drive out those snakes under the stone slab." As he spoke, Luo Gensheng took a few firewoods, tied them into torches, went around behind the stone slabs, drove the crawling snakes out of the cave, and searched around.
"Hey, it's strange, it stands to reason that the weather is cold, and the snakes don't come out, how can there be these snakes here." Luo Gensheng looked at the cave and said.
"Maybe we're burning a fire here, and the snakes are being warmed up." Luo Lihua said.
"Well, what you said makes sense, it seems that this fire can't burn yet, but if it doesn't burn, we'll be cold, forget it, you sleep, I'll guard it." Luo Gensheng looked at Luo Lihua and said.
"Well, when it's dawn, you can go back to sleep." Luo Lihua looked at Luo Gensheng and said.
"You can sleep in peace, I'm not sleepy." Rogan thought that tomorrow he would have to go to the neighborhood to find a suitable place for the Lord. Luo Lihua tidied up the bear skin and lay down to sleep, and soon it was dawn, Luo Gensheng walked outside the cave and stretched, breathing in the fresh air on the hillside, watching which direction he should set off.
After a while, Luo Lihua also got up, came to the outside of the cave and looked at Luo Gensheng and said, "Brother Gensheng, go sleep for a while." β
"Don't sleep, I'll find a place to eat something, you and the little black bear are waiting for me here, and I'll be back when it's dark." Luo Gensheng looked at Luo Lihua and said.
"I'm leaving." Luo Lihua seemed a little reluctant, but in fact, she was afraid that she would be alone in this cave.
"Well, I want to find a good place as soon as possible, and we can live comfortably, don't worry, I'll come back when it's dark." Saying that, Luo Gensheng patted Luo Lihua on the shoulder, but he didn't expect Luo Lihua to turn around and pounce on his chest.
"What's the matter, you're reluctant to let me go?" Logan whispered in her ear.
"Yes, I don't want you to go, or I'll go with me to find it, and we'll come back together in the evening." Luo Lihua whispered.
"But I'm afraid that the red horse is tired." Luo Gensheng said with a smile.
"We can walk instead of riding." Luo Lihua looked up at Luo Gensheng and said. Luo Gensheng looked at her clear gaze, and suddenly couldn't bear to leave her here alone, so he kissed her face and said, "Okay, let's go find it together." β
So the two of them ate something, took their things and went on the road, and of course the little black bear followed, and they walked all the way north, and after several rocky hills, they finally came to a flat land, but the flat land was dry and cracked, and there was no one to be seen.
"Brother Gensheng, why are these places doing this, the ground is cracked." Luo Lihua said as she looked at the cracked land.
"yes, I've never seen such a dry land, let's get out of here, it's not a good place to live." Luo Gensheng said and beat the red horse.
"Brother Gensheng, what kind of place are we looking for?" Luo Lihua asked.
"Of course, where there is water, mountains, trees, flowers and plants, then we can farm and eat, drink water and live." Rogan was looking forward to it.
"Well, that's a good place, when you settle down, you can plant prickly pear flowers around your home, it's beautiful and you can eat prickly pear." Luo Lihua also looked forward to it.
"Well, I'm sure I'll find a place like this." Luo Gensheng said firmly. But as they walked, it was drizzling in the sky, and Logan was afraid that they would all be sick, so he said, "Hey, the weather is not good, or we should go back to the cave, and then come out to look for it when the weather is good." β
"Well, it looks like it's really going to be spring, and it's raining in the sky." Luo Lihua looked up at the sky and said, so the two returned to the cave and waited for the weather to improve before setting off. As soon as it rained, it felt even colder in the cave, so Luo Gensheng had to go to the vicinity to pick up some firewood that had been flooded and came back, burning a puff of white smoke.
"Ahem, ahem. Ouch, it's hard to burn firewood when it's wet. Luo Gensheng was choked by the fire smoke and coughed, and Luo Lihua was also smoked to tears.
"Haha, it looks like we'll have to go out for a while and come in when the fire burns." Luo Lihua said and walked out of the cave, looking at the gloomy sky, and her heart couldn't help but feel sad.
"What's wrong, do you remember anything unhappy?" Luo Gensheng looked at her and asked.
"No, I just hate the rainy weather, Brother Gensheng, how much water do you say is in the sky, how can it rain all the time." Luo Lihua asked curiously.
"Ouch, you are really naΓ―ve, where is the water in the sky, I heard the ancients say, the rain god is spitting when it rains." Luo Gensheng said with a smile.
"Really, this rain is actually the saliva of the rain god." Luo Lihua asked in surprise, it was the first time she had heard someone say that it was raining.
"Yes, I heard that the rain god spits wherever he hates it, and if he really hates it, he pees, and it will become a big hail." Rogan said in a serious way.
"Ah, why didn't I hear this kind of statement, you coax me, Brother Gensheng." Luo Lihua looked at Luo Gensheng suspiciously, but she didn't expect him to laugh, "Haha, I'm kidding you, it's boring to be idle anyway." β
"You hate it, this can coax me." Saying that, Luo Lihua began to beat Luo Gensheng, but her little hand was caught by Luo Gensheng in the next moment and pulled her into his arms.
