Chapter 21: The Forest
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, the three of them and one rabbit left the hut and embarked on a journey.
At the moment when they went down the mountain, crossed the river, and were about to enter the forest, the three brothers and sisters all looked back at the towering Lingyun Mountain. This is the place where they have lived for many years, and they are about to leave, and they are really a little reluctant.
"Let's go, find the old man, and we'll come back together. Mo Cong looked at Mo Xiao, then at Mo Min, and said angrily.
The three brothers and sisters didn't look at it anymore, Mo Min walked in the front, Mo Cong followed behind, Mo Xiao walked in the end with a pair of big wooden barrels, and the three of them plunged into the vast forest.
This forest is the enchantment of Lingyun Mountain, used to isolate from the outside world, the roads in the forest are intricate, the light is swaying and blurry, the real direction of distance and what you see in your eyes is completely different, ordinary people come in and directly hit the wall, don't want to go around for the rest of their lives. However, the three of them already knew how to set up their own enchantments with various things such as stones and trees, and they were not afraid of how to find directions in the enchantment.
In the autumn forest, all kinds of red and yellow leaves cover the blue sky, decorating the field of vision with colorful colors, and the golden sunlight passes through the forest, sprinkling a round point of light on the ground. The scenery is picturesque, but the three of them have no intention of appreciating it, and they are moving forward at the speed of hurrying. They carried their true qi and ran all the way south, three figures through the dense forest like lightning, and the passing phantoms brought up pieces of fallen leaves.
The three of them hurried away, and when they walked to the evening, the forest in front of them was still endless, and they didn't know when they could go out, seeing that it was getting late, the three of them asked for a place to rest, found a clearing and built a bonfire, Mo Xiao took out some dry food from the big wooden barrel and distributed it to the three people.
"Big brother, shall we eat this? No other dishes?" Mo Min looked at the dry food in his hand and frowned. She has been a foodie since she was a child, and her daily meals are exquisite and delicious when she is in the mountains. Now looking at these hard dry foods, it's really hard to swallow.
"I also think that we should hurry back and go, and we should eat better. Mo Cong looked around and said, "San'er, why don't you kill the little rabbit in your bamboo basket, let's eat the roast rabbit." ”
"You dare!" Mo Min glared at Mo Cong and said, "You want to eat roast rabbits, the forest is full of hares, and I don't care about you if you catch one and roast it." Little boy is so good, you don't want to fight it. ”
Mo Cong just wanted to tease Mo Min, not really to eat the rabbit. He heard that Mo Min was so concerned, so he said, "Why are you so nervous? I just think that your little rabbit eats delicious food all day, and it must be roasted more fragrant than other rabbits." Since you don't want to, then you can go and catch a hare at random, I'll find firewood, and my eldest brother will roast it, how about it?"
"Good. Mo Min nodded.
The three of them divided their labor, Mo Min went to find the rabbit, Mo Cong went to find firewood, and Mo Xiao found two thick branches with forks to insert on both sides of the bonfire, set up a simple grill, and took out various condiments from the big wooden barrel and put them aside, waiting for the two to come back.
It didn't take much effort, and Mo Min came back with a fat hare. "Big brother, you come and kill, I really can't do it. She handed the hare to Mo Xiao, her face full of unbearable.
Mo Xiao took the rabbit and walked away.
Mo Cong came back with a large bundle of firewood, "Where's the big brother?" he asked strangely when he saw Mo Min alone.
"Kill the rabbit. Mo Min said.
"Why, you don't dare to kill?" Mo Cong wondered.
"No, it's just unbearable. Mo Min said.
"You can't bear to kill a rabbit, what can you do if you run into an enemy in the future?" Mo Cong teased.
"If you take care of it, rabbits are not enemies. Mo Min gave him a blank look.
While the two were talking, Mo Xiao came back with the rabbit that had been cut clean and fur removed, threaded it with a branch and put it on the grill, and turned the branch alternately with both hands to roast the rabbit.
After a while, the air was filled with the smell of barbecue.
"Well, it's so fragrant!" Mo Min sniffed, his face full of excitement.
The rabbit was fat, and the oil oozing from the skin fell drop by drop on the firewood below, making a snorting sound. The bonfire was drenched with oil, and the fire was even stronger, reflecting the faces of several people. After roasting for a while, Mo Xiao took the rabbit off the branch, tore off the two hind legs and gave them to Mo Cong and Mo Min, ate a little casually by himself, and then wrapped the rest and put it away.
The sky was getting darker, and the surrounding grass and trees were fading and becoming more and more blurred. The wolf in the forest howled out of nowhere, accompanied by the cool night, which was very sad.
"Don't be afraid. Mo Min replied very simply, went to the barrel and took out the wild fruit, and gave one to each of the three people and a rabbit.
"Hmm, this fruit..."Mo Cong took a bite of the wild fruit, then looked at Mo Min in surprise, and said something vaguely.
"How's it delicious? I just found out the other day. Mo Min took a small bite and said proudly.
"You... I found out a few days ago, why don't you take it back... What about eating for the second brother?" Mo Cong complained while eating.
"Hmph, who said that, I know how to eat in a day, and I don't have any interest. Mo Min raised his eyes and squinted at Mo Cong, his face full of disdain. "In order to make you profitable, I have to not give it to you. Hehe..."As he spoke, he laughed again, his smile was like a spring breeze blowing a bud, and his face was full of disdain.
"That's what I said... The second brother usually treats you well, but if you have delicious food in the future, you still have to think about the second brother, so that you can be good, do you know?" Mo Cong said.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Mo Min took a small bite and finished eating the red fruit, took out a handkerchief and wiped the stains on the corner of his lips, and lay down with his back to the campfire.
"Sleep so early?" Mo Cong looked at her.
"Well, after a day of walking, I'm exhausted. Mo Min said without replying, and fell asleep after a while.
Mo Cong couldn't find anyone to talk to, and he felt that it was too early, so he sat cross-legged and practiced with his eyes closed.
Mo Xiao looked around, got up and found more firewood nearby, took a piece of clothing from the wooden barrel and covered it for Mo Min, and then sat back down, looking at the beating bonfire in a daze.
The three of them rested and practiced around the bonfire, and after dawn, they packed up their things and continued to move forward. On the morning of the third day, the three brothers and sisters finally walked to the edge of the forest, and they could already see the outside world from a distance.
"Hey, it's finally come to an end. Mo Min glanced back at the dense forest behind him and sighed.
"Shhhh
The sound of horses' hooves grew clearer and louder from far and near, until finally it became a roaring sound.
