Chapter 31: Seeing the Light Again (III
Seeing that the time was passing little by little, Ling Xue and Moon Falling Dancing Jun Mo Xiang decided to abandon the carriage and some of their belongings after discussing it again and again, and only took some necessary items and went on the road lightly.
The sun is scorching, but at this time the ancient finch forest is dim, Ling Xue took the hands of the baby brothers and slowly led along the road, barely able to see the road conditions within three or five meters, followed by Ming'er holding the moon dance, Chengzi helping Jun Moxiang to come one after another, Chijin and the moon dance of the coachman Ah Fu broke off. The road became darker and darker, and it was gradually impossible to tell whether it was caused by the unique environment of the Ancient Bird Forest or whether it was already dark, especially the further you walked to the center of the Ancient Bird Forest, the darker it became. Looking at the trunk of the tree, there are dense branches and leaves, crisscrossed in layers, blocking out all light.
"Gurgling... Gurgling..."
After a few strange birdsong sounds sounded in the trees in front of them, they flapped their wings and flew out, breaking the silent silence in the ancient finch forest and startling Ling Xue and everyone who were concentrating on their way.
This sudden fright made Ling Xue and everyone stop and gather together to be on guard, but it seemed that it was because of their arrival that these big birds were like this, watching the black shadows in the shape of those big birds fly around for a while and then disappear into the depths of the ancient forest, everyone's tense nerves were relaxed.
"Mother, what was that just now? What a big one! Seeing the black shadow with a head similar to his own disappearing into the ancient forest, the baby second child was not only afraid, but asked Ling Xue curiously.
"My mother doesn't know, it sounds like a purring bird, but it's not that big, maybe it's a kind of eagle!" Ling Xue searched for the knowledge of flying animals in her memory, and it should be that the size of the eagle was relatively close to what she had just seen.
"Oh! Boss, did you find something? The baby second child, who couldn't get a definite answer, shifted his eyes to his brother, wanting to ask his brother if he knew, but found that his brother was also looking at the direction where the black shadow disappeared thoughtfully.
"Nothing found! I was also wondering what kind of bird this was, such a big one. Mother, don't we have a pearl of the night? You see, it's like it's dark now, maybe it's already dark! Why don't we take out the night pearl and light it! I'm scared when it's dark here! The baby boss answered the younger brother lightly, and then pretended to be scared and suggested to Ling Xue with a serious face, just now he heard the big birds saying, "Go and tell me!" Someone's coming! I'm watching here. ”
He didn't know what they were encountering now, this ancient forest was so big that it was inevitable that it would be in danger, maybe those big birds would come and attack them, he just knew that he couldn't say anything now, because there was still one watching them.
"Yes! If the boss doesn't say it, my mother has forgotten! Come... You two brothers take one each! Listening to the words of the baby boss, Ling Xue hurriedly rummaged through her treasure bag and took out two night pearls to the baby brothers, thinking that the babies might be frightened, it seems that they have to find a safe place to spend the night quickly, otherwise there will be many potential dangers when the night comes.
"Let's take a torch for each person! It is mentioned in ancient books that the ancient forest is very quiet during the day, and the night is the time for all kinds of beast activities. Jun Moxiang didn't say much, and it was very cold, but the meaning was obvious, lighting a torch can not only illuminate but also defend yourself.
"Jun Gongzi is right, it's better for us to light the torch!" Moonfall Dance said approvingly.
After a while, except for Ling Xue's mother and son, everyone else lit torches, and Ling Xue just took out two bamboo tubes for drinking water and embedded the night pearl into them, and after a simple treatment, it became like a flashlight.
"Miss Ling is so smart!" Yueluowu looked at the 'flashlight' held by the baby brothers, and couldn't help but praise it from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes! Miss Ling, how did you come up with the idea? Ming'er stared at the baby brothers' 'flashlight' and asked enviously.
"Let's laugh, we have lived in the mountains for a long time, because we are not used to using open flame lights and candles for lighting, so this is just a habit!" Ling Xue replied with a smile, she couldn't tell them that this was the most common way of lighting in the twenty-first century, she was just replacing the electric light with the Night Pearl now! She had spent a lot of effort collecting and researching how to use these Night Pearls, and what she was most dissatisfied with in this time and space was that there were no electric lights, but fortunately there were Night Pearls instead.
