Chapter 217: Valley Horror
Recently, Mrs. Fang's appetite has been slightly poor, except for the vegetables that Xiaocao watered with spirit stone water, other dishes will vomit as soon as she eats them. In particular, meat and seafood should not be touched at all. Xiaocao knows very well the importance of a balanced diet to the fetus, and it is definitely not enough to eat vegetables alone, in order to let the godmother eat some meat, Xiaocao almost broke her heart.
Xiao Shi stayed at home because Rongxuan Academy had bookshelves, and he received a letter from his brother in Jingcheng Han last week. In the letter, Zhao Han briefly wrote about his life in Beijing, and his grandfather had gone to the frontier to serve as a general to lead the three armies. He and his father stayed in Beijing for the time being. The most mentioned in the letter are memories of life in Dongshan Village, as well as the scene of hunting barbecue meat and cooking fish soup with their siblings......
Hearing the second sister say that her godmother can't get a little meat, Xiao Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Second sister, do you remember the secret base that Brother Han took us to?" "The secret base is still the name given to the valley by the second sister, Xiao Shi thinks it is quite vivid, and has always called that valley like this.
Xiaocao pondered in her mind, should you try some hot and sour appetizing food, the dish of sauerkraut fish should be good, but the sauerkraut is not pickled at their house, and grandma's house should have it. Godmother likes to eat sour, sauerkraut fish should be on her taste, when the time comes, the fish fillet is thin, in the water to soak, there should be no fishy smell......
Hearing Xiao Shi's words, she said nonchalantly, "What? Do you want to go to the valley to play? When the second sister is free, I will definitely take you there...... You go to Wenshu first! ”
"It's not that I want to play! Do you remember the little white fish in the stream in the valley? The meat is delicate and melts in your mouth, maybe the Fang family can eat it! Little Stone felt that he was being underestimated.
He's not the little rock he used to be anymore, okay? He is now a student in the enlightenment class of Rongxuan Academy, how can he just think about playing? However, he didn't admit it, he also missed the valley, the smell of barbecue at that time, and the deliciousness of the little white fish......
When Yu Xiaocao heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up to the small stone: "This proposal is feasible!" It's worthy of reading for half a year, and my brain turns faster than me! Let's go to the secret base and catch some more small fish and come back. Recently, the weather has been too hot, and my father and mother have to take care of building a house, which has obviously decreased a lot. The little white fish is delicious and nutritious, let's catch more and come back to stew soup to drink! ”
Without further ado, if you leave now, you can still rush back to make lunch for your godmother! Xiaocao carried a clay pot and a small stone that came up from a bump in time, and walked towards the mountain forest.
In the early morning, the cool breeze is blowing, and the trees in the west mountain in summer are verdant and luxuriant. Walking in the dense forest, you can't feel the scorching summer heat at all. Walking through the mountain forest, the little grass siblings came to a place where the mountain wall was crawling with green vines. Yes, the secret base that the Xiaocao sisters and brothers said is behind this green vine.
Pushing aside the dense green vines, a cave more than half a person high appeared in front of the siblings. The cave became more and more spacious as you walked inside, and even if an adult stood up, he could not touch the stone wall at the top of the cave. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, three forks appeared in the cave. They chose the rightmost one, and after walking for a while, their eyes suddenly opened up, giving people a sense of willow and flower.
This is the valley that Zhao Han once took Xiaocao's sister and brother to. The flowing water is murmuring, the flowers are like a brocade, and because of the peculiar terrain, surrounded by mountains, the temperature is a few points lower than the outside, it is a good place to escape the heat.
"If it weren't for the fact that the cave was too narrow to pass at the beginning, I would have wanted to bring my godmother here to escape the heat! Godmother will love the view! Yu Xiaocao's mood also became comfortable and happy because of the purple and red in front of her.
As he spoke, a snow-white hare stopped not far from the siblings, staring at the two strange intruders curiously with a pair of ruby eyes. The little stone threw away all the shackles in the academy and regained his true nature. He screamed with joy and chased after the hare, laughter echoing through the valley.
Yu Xiaocao asked Xiao Mending Heaven Stone to investigate the vicinity, but did not find a fierce beast that could hurt people, so he let the little brother spread joy in the valley. She came to the clear stream and looked down for the fish swimming in the cracks of the rocks.
This small white fish seems to be a specialty of this valley, and the grass has never been seen elsewhere. The little white fish is about two or three inches long, with a thin body, a snow-white body, and is very light and fast when swimming, which is impossible for ordinary people to catch.
Xiaocao put the jar filled with spiritual stone water into the stream and waited for the urn to catch white fish. Soon, the little white fish nearby sensed the aura in the jar and slowly gathered it. Xiaocao sees that the valley is prosperous everywhere, and all kinds of strange flowers are hidden in it, and the godmother from a famous family should like it. She decided to fold some bouquets back and put them in the vase in the godmother's room, and some she thought was good, dig out the roots and see if she could transplant them back!
Although Xiaocao doesn't know much about flowers and plants, she still has basic appreciation skills. She dug up a plant that was supposed to be a camellia, and two plants that looked like orchids, and sprinkled some spirit stone water on the roots, which had a higher survival rate.
Back to the stream, there are already a lot of small white fish gathered in the crockpot, and if you go out to the water, there should be at least two or three catties! I don't know if my godmother can eat it, so let's catch these first! Looking at the sky, it had been almost an hour since they had been out, and with the distance back, they had come home just in time to make lunch.
Xiaocao was about to call back the little brother who was crazy, and the little stone seemed to have a telepathy with her, and came out of the grass more than one person high, holding the stupid white rabbit in his hand, grinning, and said happily: "Second sister, look!" I've caught this rabbit! Go back and keep with the rabbits at home. Look at this rabbit fur is snow-white and snow-white, spun into thread and woven into a vest to wear, it must be warm and beautiful! ”
This little guy still remembers what Xiaocao said last winter! At that time, there was no separation, the sisters and brothers were dressed in tatters, and they could not resist the cold of the north at all, Xiaoshi's hands and feet were frostbitten, Xiaocao used hot water to help him burn his feet over and over again, and said that the family would raise a few rabbits next year, and use rabbit hair to spin thread for him to knit gloves, socks and vests. Unexpectedly, more than half a year has passed, and the little guy is still thinking about it!
"Good! This rabbit's fur is relatively thick, so if you keep it well, you should be able to collect enough rabbit hair to knit vests and socks by the time it comes. Xiaocao took the clay pot and led the way out of the valley.
Suddenly, the grass not far away made a rustling sound, and Xiaoshi said happily: "It's not a rabbit again, I'll go and see ......."
"Come back!!" Xiaocao's voice changed to emphasis. Because the little mending stone reminded her that within its perceptual range, a gray wolf appeared. I didn't expect that there were really fierce beasts in this valley, and they were lucky to not encounter them before!
Xiao Shi had never seen the second sister's tone so stern, he stopped, turned around and looked at the second sister with a puzzled face. Behind him, movement in the grass came closer. Xiaocao walked over with an arrow, took the little brother's hand, and ran towards the exit of the valley.
The gray wolf had already spotted the siblings, spread their legs and quickly chased after them. The valley is overgrown with weeds, and where there is no grass and covered with stones, there is no road at all. The speed of the Xiaocao sisters and brothers, how can they compare to a four-legged wolf? Soon, the two were chased by the gray wolf.
The gray wolf swooped over, and landed in front of them, looking at them with their tails hanging and their green eyes.
Yu Xiaocao protected his younger brother behind him and looked at the big bad wolf nervously. The wolf was not vicious, it looked like a gray-haired and white-faced husky, and there was no ferocity in its eyes, it just stood in front of the two of them, looking at them quietly.
[Don't be afraid! You are contaminated with my aura, and the animal's perception is more keen, and it should have been found by following the aura. My aura, as you may have noticed, can make animals feel good and dependent on you. That silly roe deer and little gray donkey of yours are the best proof of this! This wolf won't attack you, but it's hard to say if it won't let you go! In the voice of the little mending stone, there was a hint of schadenfreude.
The wolf looked at Xiaocao quietly for a while, and seemed to be sure that the feeling that brought him close to her emanated from her, so he paced forward lightly, less than two meters away from Xiaocao.
Little Stone hugged the rabbit in his arms in horror, but he still remembered that he was a man and should protect his sister. He took a step forward, trying to keep the grass in his back, but unfortunately he wasn't tall enough. What to do? Let the wolf eat him, and give the second sister time to escape.
Xiao Shi whispered in a trembling voice: "Second sister, I'm blocking it, you...... You go quickly......"
Yu Xiaocao's heart was moved, Xiao Shi was only six years old, and he had such courage, and he really deserved to be her younger brother. Xiaocao carefully observed the gray wolf, it really had no intention of attacking them, but it stopped their way home, and watched them motionless.
"Uh...... Mr. Gray Wolf, if you can understand what I'm saying, please get out of the way, okay? We're going home......" Yu Xiaocao felt that based on previous experience, this wolf should be able to understand what she meant.
"Second sister, it doesn't understand you! I'll stop it, you go...... We sisters and brothers, we can't all fold here......" Xiao Shi took out the courage of a little man, and once again sacrificed himself to protect his sister.
[If you give it a few drops of my bath water, it will be like a stupid roe deer, and its favorability towards you will increase, and even if you leave, it will not attack you!] Xiao Tianshi couldn't help but remind. How did it follow such a stupid master, as stupid as a stupid roe deer!
Xiaocao thought for a while, took out a bottle of spirit stone liquid from his arms, sprinkled a few drops in his palm, and slowly stretched out towards the gray wolf.
[Tsk...... You dare to feed the spirit stone water with your hands, and you are not afraid that the wolf will bite your hand off! Xiao Tianshi said in a mocking tone.
"Isn't it you? Is it that I, the master, are in danger, and you will sit idly by? Xiaocao said this, and she was still a little apprehensive in her heart.
Xiao Mending Tianshi rolled his eyes: The master is rare to be smart once! Indeed, until it was restored to its heyday, it was one with her, and certainly did not let its owner be harmed.
Xiao Shi was about to pull back his sister's outstretched hand, but he was surprised to find that the gray wolf was like a grandfather's dog, gently licking the second sister's palm with his tongue, and his eyes were narrowed, as if he was enjoying it.
