Chapter 357: There Are People in the Mountains and Forests

The deep ditch is not wide, and it is a fissure that is common in a mountain, only more than a meter wide.

It's just that because it's deep, it looks a little dizzy.

The others had already skipped over, and Donzo was waiting for us.

"Are you okay?" I asked Tang Lian.

Tang Lian snorted at me, took a few steps back, and jumped over with a run.

The guy who went over first on the other side grabbed the person and stepped back a bit, waiting for me and Donzo.

The fat man had already passed, and was still talking to me over there, "Meridian, it's so narrow, it's coming over in a jump."

I laughed and said, "Do you think I can't get by?"

I didn't need to run at all, I just stepped on the trunk of the tree next to me, and I went straight over, causing a lot of exclamations from the guys.

Tang Zuo smiled, wanting to learn from me, and after trying, he finally chose the same way as Tang Lian, running and jumping forward.

Such a wide chasm is not a problem for us at all.

It's that when you go out, you always have to have some fun.

We laughed and continued to walk forward.

Opposite the crack behind him, several poisonous snakes emerged from the trunks of the grass and trees, looking at the crack in front of them, spitting snake hyacinths "slightly".

Then, the man in the robe reappeared, and after seeing the rift, he hesitated, walked back and forth, and chose to go around the front.

We descended the hill and came to the river again, and continued upstream along the rocky shoals on the river's edge.

Rivers flow according to the topography, so we basically walk from mountain to mountain.

This choice is also my suggestion.

The dragon's lair will not run out of water, and the head of the Yueya Village also told me that the mountain is called Source Mountain by the locals.

Presumably it was named after the source of a certain river.

We may take some detours along the river, but this is the safest way to go.

Wild beasts, snakes, rats, insects and ants are infested in the mountains and forests, and we must not only deal with the dangerous road, but also deal with these elusive things.

Another important reason why we can avoid these things as much as possible along the river is that if there is a water source, we will not run out of water along the way.

I knew that the guys must have water in their backpacks, but none of them moved, probably just to meet the unexpected needs after entering the mountain.

There was still a lot of food, and we didn't move, basically walking all the way to eat all the way.

We kept walking forward, and soon it was getting dark.

I happened to find a flat place, a large rock that has been connected to the mountain, and there are some stones by the river in front of it.

"Young Master Jiang, how about we spend the night here tonight?" Donzo asked.

I looked back and forth, and it was still relatively wide, with some distance from the mountains on both sides, and the river was relatively gentle, so I nodded.

Tang Zuo turned his head and shouted, "Spend the night here!"

The guys immediately got busy, took out three tents from their backpacks and started to set up, and a few went to the side to pick up branches and make a fire.

The fat man said to me, "Meridian, let's go see if there are any fish and shrimp in the river?"

I looked at Tang Lian, "Do you want to go?"

Tang Lian nodded and took out a net bag from her backpack.

"Do you come out with a net?" The fat man asked.

"I brought it for fear that my backpack would break and my clothes would fall apart!" Tang Lian said, "Do you want to?"

"Yes!" The fat man immediately said, reaching out to take it, "I don't understand why a woman's bag always has some strange things, but this one is really easy to use, just such a pocket, hey, just such a pocket, look! There are so many fish!"

I look familiar with this kind of net, as if I have seen Aunt Liu use it when she was drying woolen sweaters.

The mesh is very dense, and it's not as dense as ***, and it's really practical to catch fish or something.

However, the fat man only caught a small fish the size of his thumb.

The guys around all laughed.

Tang Zuo said, "

Go a little bit in the middle, in the direction of the upper reaches."

The fat man agreed, and walked barefoot to the middle of the river, which was not yet up to his knees.

Tang Lian was disgusted with the cold water, so she watched from the shore.

I took off my shoes and socks and walked into the water, which was really cold.

I took the stone and threw it to the sides, startling some fish and shrimp to run in the middle, and after a while, the fat man carried the net upward.

"Look, look!" The fat man flaunted and walked back with his net bag held high.

Don't say, don't look at this river, this place is very shallow, there are still a lot of fish and shrimp.

In just a moment, the shrimp in the half-net pocket and three palm-length fish.

Tang Zuo took it with a smile and said, "Brother Biao, come up quickly! If you want to eat, let them catch it!"

The fat man went ashore, took his shoes and socks and ran to the fire to roast his feet for a while before putting them on.

"It's okay!" I sat next to the fat man, holding my feet up and roasting the fire, "It's okay for us to go down, you can't go down!"

Fishing for fish and shrimp soon became a matter of frolicking and playing with the guys.

I didn't bother with them, I looked at them.

The mountains here are very quiet, and I haven't seen any evil spirit since I arrived in Yueling Village.

Here, however, there are fewer evil spirits, only the occasional evil aura wafting by, which is supposed to have been formed after the death of some animals.

I've been to many places, but it's rare to see a mountain as clean as this.

Night fell, and only the fire we lit still illuminated the flat rock.

At the end of March, the spring was expected to be cold, but fortunately it was sunny after the heavy rain.

The moon was shining and we lay down in our tents.

In order to lighten the burden, Tang Zuo and they only brought three tents, and unexpectedly, between me and Tang Lian at night, another fat man and Tang Zuo were added.

As soon as the two of them lay down, they fell asleep in seconds, snoring one after another, although the sound was not loud, and it was also upset that people couldn't sleep.

Tang Lian calmly took out a small box from the side pocket of her backpack, and when she opened it, it was a pair of earbuds.

Stuffed into my ears, she pulled me over, pillowed in my arms and closed her eyes.

Me: "......"

I definitely can't use the earbuds because I don't know what will come out at night.

I hugged Tang Lian resignedly and closed my eyes, and the sound in my ears was instantly amplified.

The sound of the river not flowing is loud, and occasionally there is a splash and the sound of a fish's tail lapping on the surface of the water.

The mountain breeze blows through the treetops, making a rustling sound.

This sound is much better, much better than the sound of a snake crawling past.

"Rustling ......"

It may be that the mountain wind is strong.

"Rustle, crackle!"

I opened my eyes suddenly, and the sound of the treetops shaking was mixed with the sound of my feet stepping on the ground and breaking branches.

Someone!

I carefully took out my arm, tucked the sleeping bag for Tang Lian, and whispered.

After getting out of the tent, I listened to the tent next to me, and the guys were all breathing steadily.

I took the demon breaker off and turned to look at the side of the mountain.

The woods were so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

But I knew there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at me.

I walked over, slowly, until I came to a stop in front of the forest.

On the branches, a poisonous snake snaws and crawls on the branches.

I looked to the other side, and another snake was trying to come down from the tree.

In the winter here, the hibernation time of the poisonous snake is very short, and even if they are out of the nest now, the activity will not be so active.

A sneer welled up at the corner of my mouth.

Since they didn't come out to play with us on their own, they must have been brought by someone.

I asked in a deep voice, "Do you want me to ask you out?"
