Chapter 5 Distress
Deep in the mountains.
"This damn mountain doesn't have a problem sooner rather than later, but at this time, it's a problem? I don't believe what can happen to me with all the mutated mosquitoes and animals. ”
At this time, Jiang Qingshan, who was twenty-four years old at the time, was brandishing a machete about 60 centimeters long to chop the wildly growing shrubs and weeds on the path, while swearing in his mouth.
The sound of his chopping was loud in the quieter forest, but he didn't care.
Nearly 1.8 meters tall, he is fat, but his whole body is fully armed.
His face was covered with a thick layer of gauze, the remaining two pupils were exposed, and he was wearing a terrifying coat full of nails.
These nails have been fixed to his coat one by one with needle and thread for nearly a month, and his image is now alive like a large humanoid hedgehog.
In order to deal with the possible mutated animals and bugs, he also put a lot of effort into it.
And all this is for a red peony medicine field that their family has planted in the mountains for a long time.
These red peony pills were the only pillar of Jiang Qingshan's life in the village, and without them, he might not have a good time this year.
A few hours later.
"The changes in this mountain are too exaggerated, the weeds are all over the waist, and I am afraid of tripping when I walk, and there is no one left."
Jiang Qingshan was sweating profusely and rested against a tree, and ripped off the scarf around his head.
In the past two days, when he was hungry, he ate two steamed buns to satisfy his hunger, and when he was tired, he rested with a machete, saying that it was impossible not to be bitter.
However, for the sake of Chi Shao's income, he still persevered.
Looking at the vast forest, Jiang Qingshan sighed a little.
Originally, the mountain road of more than ten miles used to be about two hours at most, but now he has been out for two days, and he is still at least about three miles away from the location of the red peony medicine field.
He was also tired enough.
The mountain road itself is very dangerous, not to mention that Jiang Qingshan has to be on guard while cutting down the bushes blocking the road, which will definitely take no less time.
"It seems that I really can't come in again after collecting red peony this time, and the changes here have made me feel strange to anyone in the mountains."
In the past two days, Jiang Qingshan has not been smooth sailing, during which he has encountered poisonous snakes and terrifying insects the size of two fingers.
However, perhaps because poisonous snakes and insects instinctively fear humans, when Jiang Qingshan stepped back to guard or slash with a knife, these animals either died or fled.
After seeing too much, Jiang Qingshan will naturally be afraid, he is not a fool who only knows how to rely on recklessness, as a mountain man, he still knows what it means to be able to advance and retreat.
The previous scolding was just his own words to cheer himself up, and he couldn't take it seriously.
Originally, he was also scared to stay in the mountains at night, and he also thought about going back, but when he thought that he had come out and had not yet harvested, it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed, so he forced himself to muster up the courage to continue walking.
Looking at the wild golden snub-nosed monkey that was sneaking through the branches and leaves of a tree not far away, Jiang Qingshan couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"What is this little guy doing with me? It's been all the way, don't you still want to see my jokes? ”
Thinking of the way he slipped and fell before, the little golden snub-nosed monkey scratched his ears and cheeks, and jumped on the tree and clapped his hands and screamed.
Yourself being seen a joke by a monkey? I'm afraid no one will believe it.
The golden snub-nosed monkey is the main protected animal in this dragon lying reserve, Jiang Qingshan still knows this, so he didn't pay attention to the ridicule of this little guy at all.
In short, since you can't scare away, you don't need to pay attention to it, as long as this little guy doesn't make trouble.
Seeing that the little guy had been staring at himself from the tree with big eyes, Jiang Qingshan shrugged his shoulders and stood up again.
Wrapping his headscarf, Jiang Qingshan exhaled a breath of white air:
"It's not far away, hurry up, and try to go back early, otherwise those old men at home are probably going crazy."
Thinking like this, Jiang Qingshan immediately waved the machete again.
And as he kept moving forward, the little golden snub-nosed monkey that had been following him a few hours ago stared at the machete in Jiang Qingshan's hand with wide eyes, scratched his head, and then jumped between the trees again and followed.
Time passed unconsciously, and when it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Qingshan finally came to the place where he planted red peony.
But when he looked at the scene in front of him, he was already speechless.
The red peony that caught his eye was very different from the appearance in Jiang Qingshan's memory.
The mature state of the red peony is only the height of an adult's knees, but what appears in his eyes now is a sea of one-person tall red peony flowers all over the mountains.
"Are you kidding?"
Jiang Qingshan was a little shocked and speechless, the free-range red peony actually looked like this?
If Jiang Qingshan weren't very familiar with the characteristics of red peony, he would have thought that he was planting a fake red peony.
After being surprised, Jiang Qingshan's face quickly showed great joy.
More than 200 square meters of free-range red peony grew like this, he felt that he was going to make a fortune this time, and for the first time, Jiang Qingshan was a little grateful for the changes in the mountain.
With a happy face, he stepped forward quickly, and with a knife, he cut off a branch of a red peony, took it to his mouth, and took a bite and savored it.
"The quality is definitely only high, not low, and this time it's really going to be earned."
"But can you really get it back by yourself?" Looking at the red peony Jiang Qingshan who had expanded to more than 500 square meters in front of him, he was a little distressed.
"It seems that I have to call a few people to help when I go back, but I guess it's difficult."
Thinking of the village chief's previous warning about the ban on entering the mountain, Jiang Qingshan was a little big.
But he can't care about it so much, so it's up to him to get it back as much as he can now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingshan immediately took out the hemp bag around his waist and began to prepare for the harvest.
However, just as Jiang Qingshan was bending down to act, he heard a rapid cry behind him.
"Huh?"
It was the cry of the little golden snub-nosed monkey in the tree, and Jiang Qingshan turned his head in confusion.
However, when he turned around, he froze when he looked in the direction that the little golden snub-nosed monkey on the big tree was pointing with an anxious face.
For at this moment he saw a wild boar, larger than an adult buffalo, standing up from the grass more than thirty meters away, and looking at him with this fierce gaze.
At this moment, Jiang Qingshan's face was completely stunned because of his joyful face, and his legs and stomach involuntarily began to tremble slightly.
"It's over! Finished! Run, you have to run! ”
There was no unnecessary hesitation at all, Jiang Qingshan instinctively dropped the sack and ran to the top of the mountain on the other side in the opposite direction with the strength of feeding.
