After a few days, Lu Xiaoxian and Manda had a good relationship, she knew where Manda lived, and sometimes she would bring bananas and rice and vegetables to visit, cook and eat with them, and play with Manda's little daughter.

Manda gradually regarded her as a friend, and took good care of her, and asked Lu Xiaoxian to go with her to another place to change the label on this day, where there is a big lake, if you are lucky, you can catch fish, and you can also pick some fresh fruits and come back as food.

When Lu Xiaoxian heard this, he was naturally happy, it was better to be able to go to other places to take a look than to be trapped here, and maybe he could find a chance to escape.

Manda's youngest daughter also went with her, she didn't even have shoes, she ran happily in the forest with a pair of bare feet, Lu Xiaoxian looked at her, as if she saw her own childhood. It's just that she doesn't dare to run in the mountains and forests like this during the day, if other children see her, they will bully her, and at night she can run all the way home from her grandmother's grave.

The place where Manda took her was quite far, and Lu Xiaoxian silently remembered the extremely complicated forked paths along the way. It took almost two hours to reach the destination, which is relatively open and sunny, with a small rubber forest and some fruit trees, mostly mango and banana trees.

Lu Xiaoxian saw the big lake that Manda said, it was really big, and the surface of the lake was sparkling, as if a layer of broken gold had been sprinkled.

Manda puts fragrant rice in a bamboo basket with long branches tied to it, one end fixed to the shore, and the other end of the bamboo sticks out into the lake.

Lu Xiaoxian saw such a fishing method for the first time, it was very fresh, and asked Manda: "Is this all right?" ”

Manda smiled and nodded: "Come back and see when you're done, if you're lucky, if you're unlucky, you'll be unlucky." ”

She divided half of the label to Lu Xiaoxian, asked her to stick it on the rubber tree, and took her little daughter to another forest to change the label.

When Manda left, Lu Xiaoxian took the label into the rubber grove, she has always been conscientious and responsible, meticulously covering the new label on the old one, and each one is properly pasted. If she does more, she will naturally become proficient, and it doesn't take long for her to get everything done.

After finishing her work, she ran to the lake to see the bamboo basket, but there seemed to be no movement, so she walked around, and went around to the other end of the lake, where she saw a small bamboo shed, in which there was still a bamboo collapse, probably for passers-by to rest. She went in and sat for a while, the bamboo collapsed a little hot, although there was a breeze on the lake, but the wind was also hot, and it did not make people feel comfortable.

Lu Xiaoxian then came out of the bamboo shed and walked up a small hillside, there were some small rubber trees, very neatly planned, she shuttled through these small rubber trees, and suddenly found a person squatting under the tree in front of her, with his back to her, wearing a hat on his head, it was difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman?

Lu Xiaoxian was very happy to meet another person in such a remote place, and strode to the front, probably hearing a sound, the person turned around, but it was an old man. He had a pair of kind eyes and a gray beard, and when he saw Lu Xiaoxian, he smiled, but did not stand up, and asked in Chinese: "What are you doing here?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian said: "I'm doing things in the forest below, and I'm done with it. Grandpa, what are you doing? ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, he put the soil under the tree into a small bottle, and then stood up: "I'm looking for good cultivation soil." ”

"Is it to grow rubber trees?"

"Yes, for the cultivation of rubber trees."

"I'm guessing you're an old expert on rubber trees, right?"

"You guessed it, I've been studying rubber trees for decades." The old man smiled and asked her, "Are you new here?" ”

"I've only been here for a few days, and you're the third person I've ever met."

The old man nodded: "You are a forest guard, right?" ”

"Grandpa, you guessed right, I am the forest guard," Lu Xiaoxian was very happy when she met a person who could speak Chinese and was willing to chat with her, and kept asking: "Do you also live here?" Do you live alone? Is your family also on a rubber plantation? It's so big, I'm always lost, I don't know how to get out when I get in, but luckily Manda has me with her, her daughter is very cute, and her son works in a food processing factory......"

The old man listened to her with a smile, but he looked her up and down.

As Lu Xiaoxian spoke, he suddenly reached out and pulled the old man behind him, and kicked something on the ground away with a flying kick. Then pick up a dead branch and stop it in front.

The old man had seen clearly by this time that there was a snake on the ground, the thickness of a big finger, with a flat head held high, and a thin tongue spitting out, and was looking at them with fierce eyes.

Lu Xiaoxian whispered to the old man, "Grandpa, I'll stop you, you go quickly." ”

The old man was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid, there are snakes where I lived when I was a child, and if I accidentally touch them, I will use a stick to drive them away."

The snake kept shaking its head, as if looking for the right opportunity to attack.

Lu Xiaoxian urged the old man in a low voice: "Grandpa, go quickly, it looks very fierce, it wants to jump up and bite." She was a little nervous, and swung a few times at the snake with a branch, trying to drive it away, but the snake dodged left and right, but instead of retreating, she saw the opportunity to swim forward.

Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly escorted the old man backwards, but heard the old man say: "This is a cobra, it is very powerful, a bite is enough to kill people, aren't you afraid?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was so angry that he shouted: "You know that it is so powerful, why don't you run away?" Hurry up and run, run away and count one as one. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"You're an old man, you run slowly, but I run fast, so you run first, hurry, I'll break off, hurry up."

The old man hesitated for a moment, and really ran down the hillside, as soon as the snake saw someone running, it became even more vicious, and attacked Lu Xiaoxian with his head, Lu Xiaoxian stopped it with a branch, and shouted loudly: "Run farther, run farther away!" ”

The snake jumped up suddenly, and pounced straight towards Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoxian was also in danger, and did not dodge, waving a branch to meet it, picking up the snake body, and throwing it two meters away, but this snake was very powerful, just landed and counterattacked, shaking the little triangle head and biting Lu Xiaoxian fiercely, Lu Xiaoxian ran quickly, she was afraid that the old man did not run far, and did not dare to run down the hillside, but circled in the woods with the snake, although she ran fast, but obviously the snake's energy was more sufficient, and after a while, Lu Xiaoxian was out of breath, She thought that the old man should have run away after so long, so she rushed down the slope, intending to get the snake into the lake.

As soon as she ran down the hill, she heard a sound behind her, she looked back and saw that it was the old man, he actually caught the snake, and saw a flash of silver light, the snake's head fell to the ground, Lu Xiaoxian stopped, the whole person was shocked there, and couldn't believe it: "Grandpa, you can catch the snake?" ”

"If you don't have these two hands, how can you walk in the woods?" The old man smiled, took out a plastic bag from his bag, put the snake in it and handed it to her: "Take it back to cook soup and drink, it tastes very good." ”

"It's better for grandpa to keep it for himself." Lu Xiaoxian pointed to the big lake, "Manda is fishing with a bamboo basket, if we catch it, we will have fish soup to drink at night." ”

The old man insisted on giving her: "You are the bravest girl I have ever met, this is a reward, take it." ”

Lu Xiaoxian didn't want to brush off his kindness, so he had to take it: "Thank you, grandpa." ”

"What's your name?" The old man asked her.

"My name is Lu Xiaoxian."

The old man smiled and nodded: "Well, good name, I remember." I'm going to go ahead and see you again. ”

Lu Xiaoxian held the snake and waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, grandpa." ”

The old man walked quickly, and disappeared into the woods in a blink of an eye, Lu Xiaoxian was a little stunned, for a few days, she finally met someone who could talk freely, but unfortunately the time together was too short, otherwise she really wanted to ask him how he got out of this woods?

When she went to the lake again, she was pleasantly surprised to find that there were three small fish in the bamboo basket, afraid that the fish would escape back into the water, she quickly untied the bamboo basket, and was busy living, Manda came back with the little girl, saw that she was untying the fish basket, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any fish?" ”

"There are three!" Lu Xiaoxian gestured, "Such a big one." ”

The little girl jumped and jumped with joy: "Oh, there are fish to eat at night!" There is fish to eat at night! ”

Lu Xiaoxian showed the snake to Manda: "Not only fish, but also this, it's delicious to cook soup and drink!" ”

It seems that Manda also knew that this was delicious, and her eyes widened, and she was very surprised: "You caught it?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian then told Manda in detail what she had just done, and asked her if she knew who that old man was?

Manda thought for a moment and said that there were indeed some technicians in the rubber plantation who specialized in research, both old and young, and I don't know which one she encountered?

In the evening, the three of them ate together in Manda's hut, with fish and snakes, as well as some fresh fruits picked along the way, which was the most sumptuous dinner since Lu Xiaoxian entered the rubber plantation.

After eating, Lu Xiaoxian played with the little girl for a while, and then said goodbye and went back, she walked a few times, she was already quite familiar, and she didn't need lighting, with the faint moonlight in the forest, she walked to her hut very leisurely.

She prefers to walk around at night than during the day, and the breeze in the forest blows softly on her face, making her pores stretch and feel very comfortable.

When she was about to get to the hut, she suddenly stopped, flashing behind a tree, and there was a light in her house? There is a figure of a man printed in the glass window, a tall man!

Lu Xiaoxian was ecstatic, Lan Kaize had finally found her, and he had come to save her!

She hurriedly walked towards the hut, her feet drove the dead branches on the ground, making a sound of knowing the rope, the man in the house was like an agile leopard, and rushed out of the house, but Lu Xiaoxian pounced on the spot and rolled towards a slope, the moment the man made a move, she recognized that it was not Lan Kaize, but a strange man full of danger!
