Sun Jiuzhou saw that his daughter-in-law was going to check in the village, and Erhu took them to the bottom of the mountain to wait, and he also brought a few people over to help.

The sky is getting brighter.

Wang Xiaoxia and his entourage checked all the people in the village, but there was no one left. Everything pots and pans could bring were taken away, and the rest was broken. In the end, they had to take away the less broken ones, and it would be good to use them to make braziers when the time came.

Erhu had come to this mountain to hunt before, and he was quite familiar with the road, and when everyone was assembled, he took him all the way to the mountain.

Everyone was tired from the overnight journey, so they could only temporarily find a cave where the hunters often rested to rest. The cave is not big in the middle of the mountain, and it can't accommodate so many people, so the old people and children can only be let first, the wounded rest in it, and the others sit at the entrance of the cave to recover their strength.

The weather is too cold, the wind is blowing, it will be colder at night, and others are not afraid of sudden rain at night, so we can only temporarily cut down some trees, build a big shed next to the hole, and simply fence around it, rest here at night, and continue to climb up tomorrow.

After a period of busy work until noon, Wang and Fang set up a stove on the spot to cook for everyone, thinking of the shortage of food, they put more bamboo shoots in the porridge, at least to be full.

Knowing what the situation was now, everyone did not complain, and after eating enough, they took turns to rest, and at night, a nest of bandits appeared nearby.

Physically and mentally exhausted, another vicious battle was fought, and although no one died, several were wounded.

The next morning they hurried up the hill, for it was only when they reached that the troubles would cease.

The old people were tired because of their worries, and when they reached the top of the mountain, several of them fell ill.

Sun Jiuzhou could only ask everyone to find another place to rest, and then go to check the situation of the miasma in the mountains tomorrow.

The most important thing on the mountain is the cave, but not every one of them is safe, they found several, and the taste in them is not right.

Wang Xiaoxia and Hani both felt that there was a big snake hidden in the cave, and it must be impossible to live in it, even if they wanted to live, they would have to toss it for at least a few days.

There was no way, everyone could only cut down trees to build sheds, and everyone leaned next to each other to survive this cold and windy night.

In the middle of the night, wolves howled. Lao Hua and Hua Henchman immediately raised their heads, looked around with their eyes, and walked around the shed vigilantly.

"Burn the fire bigger, don't act rashly, I'm afraid that there is a wolf's den here, and once it gets provoked, everyone will not be able to rest tonight." Wang Xiaoxia commanded, looking at the few old people who fell ill, they should see that they were too sad to be able to go back to their home, and their hearts were depressed, and they would fall ill after running around for the past two days.

Hearing the howl of the wolves, everyone lost their sleepiness, but the wolves were just walking around a short distance and saw that the fire did not come closer.

Another tormented night passed, and when dawn came, Wang Xiaoxia and Sun Jiuzhou, as well as Erhu and Gesang, as well as Mouse and Hani, they came to the mountain col together.

The sky was bright, but there was still a white mist floating in the col, making it difficult to see the situation inside.

Gesang and Sun Jiuzhou walked around the neighborhood to take a look, Wang Xiaoxia each gave a poison pill, she and Hani they picked up the torch and walked inside, she picked a few branches casually, and some rotten leaves received in the back basket.

Hani is to check the situation on the ground, in the winter, there are actually some red mushrooms on the ground, most of the red mushrooms are poisonous, you can see so much just on the edge of the col, I don't know if there will be more inside?

He carefully picked a few and put them away, and went back to see if the mist was related to the red mushrooms.

The rat found that there were rats here, and it was a bit of a novelty that there were rats on such a cold day, and he wanted to catch them, but the rats ran away.

Gesang and Sun Jiuzhou both knew some formations, and they didn't see anything famous. At noon, they found a place to sit and rest under the big tree next to them.

"These red mushrooms are all poisonous, and there are also toxins left on the branches and leaves. The detoxification pill we ate is still useful for these miasma, at least there are no symptoms of nausea and vomiting, and I want to go inside. After discussing with Hani and Mouse, Wang Xiaoxia gave everyone a conclusion.

Gesang said, "I didn't find anything abnormal in the place I looked at in the morning. ”

"I don't see any formation either?" Sun Jiuzhou didn't see a problem either.

"It's probably a natural barrier, and it's a lot easier to do that. After a while, everyone will go in with the torch, once the fire of the torch suddenly becomes smaller, don't go inside, it may be dangerous, if the torch is okay, we continue to walk inside, the mouse and the second tiger are waiting for us outside. If we are in danger, you can go and find someone to come and help. Wang Xiaoxia felt that they couldn't all go in, at least leave a way back.

Erhu and the mouse nodded and agreed, but Hani was a little worried that he would not be able to protect his master. However, seeing that the master insisted on following in, it was difficult to say anything.

At noon, everyone ate a steamed bun, drank some water, solved the lunch problem, and then lit torches and continued to walk inside.

At this time, the miasma in the col was obviously much lighter than in the morning, and the few of them kept walking forward in a row of two, with Wang Xiaoxia and Sun Jiuzhou walking in front.

In addition to the torches, each of them took a stick in their hands, and poked the ground with the stick before going forward to make sure that there were no pits before moving forward, Wang Xiaoxia also asked Hani to make some marks on the trees all the way, and when they came out, they could return the same way.

The road was relatively peaceful, and after walking for about half an hour, a foul smell hit and everyone stopped.

This kind of place is most afraid of swamps, and she found that the further she went, the warmer it became, and it wouldn't be as cold as before.

She asked Sun Jiuzhou to pick up a fist-sized stone from the ground and throw it, and there was an echo in it.

"Is there a swamp here?" Gesang was a little surprised by such terrain.

"And it's weird that the warmer you go, the warmer you go." Sun Jiuzhou also muttered.

Wang Xiaoxia thought of a question, there may be a hot spring here, if this is the case, it would be too cool. After going up the mountain for so long, she couldn't take a bath, and she was about to die of misery.

Thinking like this, she led everyone to walk sideways along the straight line where she was standing now, and walked for Sun Jiuzhou to throw a stone. After walking about 200 meters, I didn't hear any more sounds. For the sake of safety, she asked everyone to continue walking for another ten meters.

Sure there was no swamp ahead of the distance, she moved a meter or two to the side, took a few steps back, and then began to walk forward.

"Everyone be careful, once you find your body sinking, don't move, otherwise the more you struggle, the faster you sink." As she walked, she told everyone how to protect themselves after falling into the swamp.

Everyone listened very carefully, Gesang was behind her, and although she couldn't see her face, she could hear that she was very familiar with them.

Hani said with a look of adoration: "Master knows so much! ”

Not far away, I don't know where a sika deer came out, and the sika deer didn't walk for a while, and then fell into the swamp.

"See if you can pull it up?" Wang Xiaoxia suddenly had the idea of saving the sika deer in her mind, she also felt that this thought was very strange, and after speaking, she accelerated her speed forward.
