Chapter 43: Into the Mountain in Distress
A rainstorm came down, and the hot summer was a little cooler.
Throughout Lumen Mountain, the air is also much fresher.
Early in the morning, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying went into the mountains to pick mushrooms. In the season of June, after a heavy rain, there will be a lot of wild mushrooms in the mountains and forests, the meat is delicious, delicate and tender.
At this time, it is the time to eat mushrooms.
Liu Xiu was carrying a basket, and Huang Yueying was holding an iron pickaxe in his hand.
The two entered the mountain, talked and laughed, and gradually entered the depths of the mountain forest.
Huang Yueying jumped up, waving the iron pickaxe in her hand, with high spirits, completely without the dull appearance at home, more lively and cheerful.
"Come on, come on, there's a mushroom here. ”
Under an old tree, the leaves are piled up, and there is a smell of rotting leaves.
A flowery mushroom emerges quietly.
Huang Yueying was excited, and carefully waved the iron pickaxe in her hand to take out the mushrooms on the ground.
Liu Xiu walked up, glanced at it, shook his head and said, "This is a poisonous mushroom, you see that it is shaped like an umbrella, with bright red on it and white spots, which is poisonous." ”
"It's toxic, I don't pick it. ”
Huang Yueying looked disappointed and continued to move forward.
Liu Xiu carried a basket on his back with a smile on his face, the weather was sunny after the rain, and it was not bad to go out for a walk.
"Again, there's mushrooms here. ”
Huang Yueying's excited voice came from the front again.
When Liu Xiu walked up, Huang Yueying had already dug out the mushrooms, and then handed them to Liu Xiu's hand with an expectant look. Seeing that Liu Xiu was silent, Huang Yueying's heart beat a drum and asked, "Could it be that this is poisonous again?"
This mushroom is white all over, and the cap is umbrella-shaped, flat and smooth.
Liu Xiu is even more familiar with this shape of mushroom.
In later generations, this is a mushroom called the 'deadly white poison umbrella', which is extremely poisonous and is the most famous existence among poisonous mushrooms.
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yueying, this time, you're right." ”
"Ah, I dug it right. Is this edible?"
Huang Yueying's eyes showed a look of excitement.
Liu Xiu sneered and said, "I mean, you said it was poisonous." ”
Huang Yueying wilted and muttered: "It's poisonous again, the mushrooms in this mountain forest are poisonous everywhere, isn't there anything non-toxic? You grew up in the state pastor's mansion, and you didn't grow up in the mountains, how do you know which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not?"
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "If you read more, you will naturally understand." ”
Huang Yueying rolled her eyes, waved the iron pickaxe in her hand, and said impatiently: "Let's go, let's go!"
The two of them continued along the mountain road, and the further they went, the denser the woods became.
"Let's see if this mushroom can be eaten. ”
Huang Yueying's eyes were sharp, and she saw the mushrooms growing under the tree again. This time, she was not interested, and she lost the excitement just now, and directly asked Liu Xiu to confirm.
Encountering poisonous mushrooms twice in a row, Huang Yueying was also a little unsure.
Liu Xiu stepped forward and saw the mushrooms on the ground, and his eyes lit up.
Huang Yueying said: "Can you eat it?"
was not immediately denied, and Huang Yueying's heart gave birth to a glimmer of hope.
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "This is an umbrella mushroom, it tastes very delicious and can be eaten." ”
"Wow, finally dug up. ”
Huang Yueying was excited, and hurriedly waved the iron pickaxe in her hand, carefully dug out a few umbrellas on the ground to take out the mushrooms, and then put them in the back basket on Liu Xiu's back.
With the results, Huang Yueying is full of motivation.
The two entered the mountains and forests, and they encountered more and more umbrella mushrooms.
In the middle of the day, when the sun was shining, the two of them had already dug up a lot of umbrellas and mushrooms.
Liu Xiu said: "It's almost noon, and it's getting hotter and hotter in the mountains and forests, let's go back." ”
"Yes, yes!"
Huang Yueying nodded, with a satisfied look on her face.
The two of them returned the way they came, and as the heat rose, the mountains and forests became humid and muggy.
"We dug up so many mushrooms, and when we went back, we sent some to Uncle Pom, and then some to Uncle Sima, and then kept a little at home. ”
Huang Yueying smiled and figured out how to divide the umbrella mushrooms in the back basket.
Liu Xiu agreed, and the two walked out while chatting.
Before time passed, the two approached the exit of the mountain forest.
Suddenly, Liu Xiu's eyes froze, and he suddenly grabbed Huang Yueye's hand and motioned for Huang Yueying to silence.
"What's wrong?"
Huang Yueying lowered her voice and asked in a low voice.
"Squat!"
Liu Xiu replied and squatted down with Huang Yueying.
A solemnity appeared in Liu Xiu's eyes, and he said, "I just saw the exit, there seemed to be a figure, and the moment I saw us walking out, I hid all of a sudden." ”
Huang Yueying said: "Could it be dazzling?"
Liu Xiu said: "It's impossible to be dazzled, there must be someone." ”
Huang Yueying said: "It's normal for someone to come." ”
Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "In Lumen Mountain in June, the mountain is so hot that it is panicked, and it is impossible for anyone to go out to play. The people at the foot of the mountain rarely came to the mountain except to cut firewood. It's after the rain, and it's impossible for the people to come up, something is wrong. ”
The third world is a human being, and Liu Xiu is extremely careful in his work.
When Huang Yueying heard this, her heart became nervous.
All along, Huang Yueying has been at home and has never been in contact with the outside world.
Hearing Liu Xiu's analysis, I was a little scared in my heart.
Huang Yueying said nervously: "These people, shouldn't they be here to deal with us?"
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, maybe it's looking for me." ”
The situation of the exit of the mountains and forests, Liu Xiu always felt unsteady. After a while, Liu Xiu said: "Let's take a detour down the mountain and don't take this road." Let's go, we retreat into the mountains and forests. ”
The two quietly stepped back without making a sound.
Outside the woods, in the grass.
Six men dressed in black, squatting on the ground.
Among them, the leader was in his early thirties, lean, with a cold face, eyebrows like swords, and extremely sharp eyes. He hid in the grass and waited.
For a while, there was no footsteps.
"Liu Qiuhe, if you kid goes to Xiaojie, he must have alarmed Liu Xiu, otherwise he wouldn't have hid in the mountains and forests and didn't move. ”
The leader frowned and shouted in a low voice.
Liu Qiuhe was in his early twenties, burly and extremely strong, he said: "Boss, the six of us, with your swordsmanship, isn't it easy to kill Liu Xiu?
The leader said: "Fart, Liu Xiu once defeated the Jiangdong generals who came to Xiangyang to challenge, and his martial arts are not low." Lao Tzu is cautious, in order to kill with one blow, so that you will not be injured. ”
After Liu Qiuhe heard this, he said: "I knew earlier, I should have held it for a while, how did I know that Liu Xiu would come out at that time." This time, it made the kid stand still in the mountains and forests. ”
"Something is wrong, he is close to the exit, it is impossible for him to remain silent for so long. The leader's face suddenly changed, and he said, "It's not good, Liu Xiu must have retreated." Damn, there's no way but to kill it directly and chase after me. ”
He secretly scolded Liu Qiuhe for delaying the big event, but he was helpless.
A group of six people jumped out of the grass and ran towards the mountains and forests.
Liu Xiu retreated with Huang Yueying, but the back basket on his back affected his speed, making it impossible for Liu Xiu to run quickly. He simply threw away the basket and ran forward quickly with Huang Yueying.
After a while, shouts and footsteps could already be heard behind him.
"Here, there is really an ambush. ”
"Yueying, let's run. ”
Liu Xiu took Huang Yueying's hand and ran into the mountains and forests.
If Liu Xiu was alone, he would be sure to get rid of the chasing people, but now that there is one more oil bottle, Liu Xiu's speed is much slower.
"No, you're running too slowly, you'll be caught up soon. ”
Liu Xiu led Huang Yueying to run, the speed was too slow.
He paused for a moment, picked up Huang Yueying directly, and ran quickly.
"Liu Xiu, what are you doing?" Huang Yueying was picked up suddenly, and her heart was surprised.
Liu Xiu's expression was serious, and he said: "There are chasing soldiers behind, and the speed of our running together is too slow, only I will run with you." You hold me tight. ”
Huang Yueying's face turned pale, and her heart was even more nervous
