257. Get lost
257. Get lost
Although Zhao Xiaoling closed her eyes and recuperated, she didn't dare to slack off at all, her ears were vigilantly listening to the movements around her, she heard that there was a primeval forest in this area, and she couldn't get out if she accidentally broke in, not only the terrain was complicated, but also there were many fierce beasts.
It was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything clearly, wondering if this was a primeval forest.
She climbed up the tree, fearing that if there was a wild beast, she would be able to escape.
We had to wait until dawn to figure it out.
It was about four o'clock in the morning, and it was the darkest time before dawn.
After more than an hour, the sky will be bright, but this more than an hour is a particularly long time for Zhao Xiaoling, and the silence around is terrifying, but this is also the time when the animals sleep the deepest.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in the woods, and they are fierce, some mosquitoes in the deep mountains are very poisonous, and they may die if they are bitten, Zhao Xiaoling did not dare to be careless, and took off her coat to cover her head, face and hands.
I finally survived the darkest hour, and there was a glimmer of light in the sky.
Zhao Xiaoling took advantage of this glimmer of light to secretly observe the surrounding situation.
It didn't matter what she looked at, but she found that there was a large hornet's nest in the canopy next to the big tree she was on.
Zhao Xiaoling broke out in a cold sweat, this big hornet's nest was only one meter away from where she was.
Luckily she didn't touch it, but fortunately it was early in the morning, and there was still damp moisture in the air, so the hornets in the hornet's nest didn't come out.
Zhao Xiaoling quietly slipped down the tree, far away from there.
It was getting brighter, and she was looking around.
Judging from Zhao Xiaoling's experience of growing up in the mountains since she was a child, this forest may be the legendary primeval forest, these vegetation have been left to fend for many years, overgrown with weeds, no path, and no trace of the human track.
Zhao Xiaoling even saw a ginseng, she went to school all those years, it was her grandfather who had been going into the mountains to collect medicine and sell it for her, she remembered that once, her grandfather picked back a ginseng, happy like a child, happy for several days! Later, the ginseng was sold to a cadre of the commune, and Zhao Xiaoling's tuition and miscellaneous fees for a semester were solved!
The ginseng tree has roots and leaves, Zhao Xiaoling remembers it clearly, because she goes to school every day and runs back and forth in the mountains all the year round, she hopes to be able to find such a ginseng, but unfortunately she has never encountered it, so Zhao Xiaoling is sure that this is a ginseng without a doubt.
It can be seen that Zhao Xiaoling is even more sure that this is a primeval forest, if it is an ordinary mountain forest, this ginseng that looks very old has already been dug up.
This ginseng has been around for decades and has not been found, indicating that this place is inaccessible.
Zhao Xiaoling carefully dug out the ginseng with a sharp tree pole, the ginseng that her grandfather found was only as thick as her little finger, but the ginseng that Zhao Xiaoling dug up now was as thick as a child's wrist.
What a bonus! Wild ginseng, and it's so thick, it's very valuable.
Zhao Xiaoling thought about it and forgot that she was in danger.
Zhao Xiaoling wrapped the ginseng and put it in her medicine box. Continue to find a path out of this primeval forest.
She judged the general direction based on the light of the sun at the time of day and the direction of the leaves.
