Chapter 110: Elderberry
Today is the ninth day of coming to this other world, and I already have a general understanding of the world here, and I have basically adapted to it.
However, the medicine for Gu Chendong's leg treatment was still missing. After dinner, Gu Ling'er once again put on the tattered back basket that had been mended and mended, and embarked on the road up the mountain that she was familiar with and could no longer be familiar with.
Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, but it is God's care for Gu Ling'er.
Although Beishan is not far away, I don't know how many times I have walked this road up the mountain. But at night, after all, unlike the daytime, there are some weasels in the mountains, and some local poisonous snakes are always there, especially at night.
Although Gu Ling'er was a little scared, she had palpitations. But for the sake of Gu Chendong and for the sake of saving people, she could only bite the bullet.
It is important to save people, and it is also important to keep one's own safety. It's better to be careful in everything, and be careful at all times.
While comforting herself and emboldening herself, Gu Ling'er broke a branch from a big tree next to the road.
Weasel, Gu Ling'er is not afraid, under normal circumstances, it will not hurt people. The only thing that worries Gu Ling'er is this unique poisonous snake in this mountain, which is said to be extremely poisonous, if it is bitten, it will not survive for an hour if it is not treated in time.
Before, Gu Ling'er mostly collected medicines during the day, and she deliberately avoided them many times. But if you are in someone else's territory, it is very possible for people to come out and walk around occasionally, so you must be careful as an outsider. And the branch in Gu Ling'er's hand is used to "scare the grass and scare the snake" to ensure her safety.
I have to say that the purpose of this branch is really great. Along the way, Gu Ling'er could hear the sound of "whooshing" in the grass coming non-stop, not to mention dozens of poisonous snakes passing by. If it weren't for this branch, I guess I would have hung it up a long time ago!
Thinking of this, Gu Ling'er slowly lifted the branch she was holding in her hand, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate little face, it seems that my Gu Ling'er's life is still very big!
As the saying goes: "If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future!"
Gu Ling'er thought that if she could escape the cherry mouth of the poisonous snake along the way, everything would be fine. Presumably, there are still very optimistic things waiting for me in the future, and for my current self, the most optimistic thing is to give Gu Chen the last herb to treat his legs. So, is it very easy for me to find this herb?
"Hehe~ Oh my God, God, don't be too nice to me Gu Ling'er! Otherwise, I'll be moved!"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Ling'er clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed.
Actually, what Gu Ling'er said was the opposite, what she meant was God, you have to be kind to me, I will definitely be grateful to you!
The moment she opened her eyes, a scene that shocked her appeared.
She saw an herb growing a few steps away, and that herb happened to be the "elderberry" she was looking for.
Gu Ling'er was suddenly overjoyed, and immediately rushed over! When she saw this herb, she was dumbfounded?
That's just a stalk of elderberry, not a whole plant at all. If you want to treat Gu Chendong's leg, the best medicine is the whole elderberry, and it is best to uproot it.
However, Gu Ling'er quickly glanced around, and did not find a single intact elderberry at all. Gu Ling'er now has a bold idea, if her expectations are correct, the root of the "elderberry" should grow on the side of the hillside, that is, where she can't see.
Through the silver moonlight, Gu Ling'er could vaguely see that the soil here was too loose and very thin, and if it passed, it was very likely that one would accidentally fall down the hillside.
Gu Ling'er was inevitably a little worried in her heart, this reality would not be as bloody as acting in a TV series, she would not die if she fell into a hillside, or a handsome prince riding a white horse came to the rescue of the hero?
Hehe~ Gu Ling'er smiled bitterly, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to give it a try.
Maybe you're lucky? Maybe it's your own life? Maybe there really will be Prince Charming to come to the rescue? Maybe......
Gu Ling'er imagined all kinds of possibilities very rationally, and she could imagine what kind of consequences each possibility would correspond to.
But for Gu Ling'er, this evil is not important. The important thing is that Gu Chendong's leg has been paralyzed for many years, so that a down-and-out show who has read poetry and books has become a drag on the family, Gu Ling'er has seen him cry secretly many times, and his kind of sadness and helplessness is not something that ordinary people can experience.
Gu Ling'er walked over cautiously step by step. With each step, Gu Ling'er's breathing would speed up, and she felt that she was one step closer to danger.
But for Gu Chendong, for the original owner's father, and for his crumbling home. Gu Ling'er knew that she couldn't retreat, no matter how scared or dangerous she was, she had to move forward.
I saw the edge of the hillside, the surrounding area was empty, and some unknown weeds grew around, the soil was sparse, the soil layer was very thin, and a step on it was a deep footprint.
Standing here, Gu Ling'er could feel a biting yin wind blowing slowly, and the weeds made a "rustling" sound in the wind.
Suddenly, Gu Ling'er had a desolate feeling of being in another world.
In fact, it is. Coming here, what Gu Ling'er brought was indeed more suffering, unbearable life experience, aunt's difficulties, and the Long family?
Despite this, Gu Ling'er did not flinch, on the contrary, these tribulations gradually sharpened her! Let her mature day by day, grow up day by day, and become more convinced day by day to be a strong person in life.
Since you are a strong person, you should rise to the occasion in the face of difficulties, right?
Gu Ling'er tried her best to stabilize her breath, as if she would lose a little less weight.
Gu Ling'er had already seen where the root of the "elderberry" grew, and as she expected, it grew on the side of the hillside, which was a foot away from the top of the hillside slope, Gu Ling'er bent over, and stretched out her arm just enough to reach.
Unexpectedly smooth, Gu Ling'er's heart was extremely happy, she never dreamed that her previous fantasy had just become a fantasy, and all the dangers did not exist.
It seems that God still takes care of me Gu Ling'er, but I didn't expect me to come back from the ghost gate so smoothly? Hehe~
As the saying goes: danger is always in comfort.
As everyone knows, in the next second, Gu Ling'er fell into a desperate situation again.
At the moment when Gu Ling'er was holding the "elderberry" in her hand and was about to turn back, the soil layer under her feet suddenly fell, and Gu Ling'er fell down.
