Chapter 149: Route
Qin Wan was about to pick a few snakeberries when Xiao Yan behind him suddenly said, "Be careful." ”
Without waiting for Qin Wan to react, Xiao Yan had already hugged her and rolled over a few times, falling on the grass next to her.
"What are you doing?" Qin Wan didn't know why.
"There are snakes."
As Xiao Yan spoke, he untied a dart from his waist and threw it to Qin Wan's position just now.
Beneath the thick grass, a long snake with a triangular head the color of a dead leaf was stabbed by a dart and turned over, revealing its white belly.
Qin Wan was a little embarrassed for a while, she had always been alert, but she didn't expect that she didn't even notice this snake.
"There are snakes here, too!"
"There's that too."
Yuan Ying and the other man in black also said with solemn expressions.
Zang Qi took a step back, drew his sword suddenly, and said in a suppressed voice: "I have three here." ”
Qin Wan also sensed the sound behind her at this moment, she pushed Xiao Yan away, stood up, and smiled unhurriedly: "It seems that we broke into someone else's house." ”
It's not just a few snakes, thousands of snakes have come out of this green grass.
There were even dozens of cobras, which had raised their heads from the grass at this time, opened their necks, and were half a meter high, looking directly at them.
This scene, even Qin Wan was a little creepy when he saw it.
She immediately took out a cloth bag from her arms, quickly grabbed the powder from it, threw it on the ground, and sprinkled a whole large circle.
"You're all here." Qin Wan said.
Xiao Yan smelled the smell of medicinal powder, "This is, realgar?" ”
Qin Wan was still a little drumming in his heart, and he didn't know if these snakes would be afraid of realgar, after all, there were those monsters on this mountain, maybe there was something special about these snakes.
However, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two snakes that were forced back by the male yellow, "Well, it seems that there is still some effect." ”
Yuanying, Zang Qi and the others also retreated to Qin Wan and Xiao Yan's side.
"What's next? Kill it out? Zang Qi subconsciously asked Qin Wandao.
The snakes lying on the grass are okay, but these half-standing cobras look too cautious.
Qin Wan said: "These are poisonous snakes, don't act rashly for the time being." ”
Although she has a poisonous snake serum, but with so many poisonous snakes, who can tell what snake she was bitten by in the chaos?
If the wrong serum is used, the life will not be saved.
Snakes are mostly nocturnal, they still need to hunt, they should not be here all the time, at most during the day, they should retreat.
With Qin Wan's realgar powder, none of these poisonous snakes went any further.
Qin Wan and the others did not act rashly, and gradually, the morning star lit up, and the poisonous snakes began to retreat on the periphery.
By the time it was dawn, most of the poisonous snakes had retreated, and there were only a few, which was no longer a cause for concern.
They immediately left the hollow and continued upstream along the Xiliang River.
There was no rest all night, and they rested for two hours in a small cave before entering the snow line.
Stepping back into the snow line, everyone was slightly nervous.
After all, those monsters live above the snow line, and they don't know when they will suddenly appear.
But fortunately, they went all the way, and by noon the next day, they successfully found the source of the Xiliang River.
Another mountain peak above is the Tianchi, and the water really flows out of the Tianchi.
The source is just a thin stone crevice, and the water gathers into a pool, flowing all the way, and finally merging into the Xiliang River.
Qin Wan stood here, looking out from afar, and could barely see where they came from here.
Looking at it, suddenly, the Qin family's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the distance and said, "Xiao Yan, look at it!" ”
Xiao Yan had come to her side and followed her line of sight.
Although there are mountain peaks in the distance, between the lofty mountains and mountains, there seems to be a natural opening, from this place, all the way down the trend.
It's an ideal diversion route.
"But there is a peak in front of this line, a mountain depression, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass through, if you go around the distance......" Xiao Yan thought about how to solve it.
Being able to figure out this route has saved a lot of trouble, which is much less than he expected.
"You don't have to go far away." Qin Wan raised the corners of his lips, "Just use this mountain peak to fill in this mountain recess." ”
"Move mountains?"
This is not a small amount of work.
Qin Wan blinked his eyes and said jokingly: "Maybe God favors it, and a thunderbolt comes down and blows up this mountain." ”
Xiao Yan: ......
"In short, determine the route first, and then figure out a way."
As long as the problem of water can be solved, even if it takes a little more work, it is worth it.
Qin Wan pointed to this road and said, "Then let's go back from this road and investigate the situation on the road by the way." ”
The route back was decided, they had lunch, rested for a while, and then began the return journey.
When I came, there were many setbacks, but the way back was smooth.
They didn't encounter that kind of monster again, and they easily fell to the snow line, and after two days of climbing the mountains, they returned to the village.
After coming back, Qin Wan immediately went to the county seat, bought some paper and pens and daily necessities, and began to draw a map of the Xiliang Mountains.
After staying up all night, Qin Wan finally drew the map.
It took eight large pages of paper, and she glued them together with paste and pasted them on the earthen wall.
While admiring it, Xiao Yan walked out of the west room.
There was no door in the left and right rooms, and it was originally covered by a cloth curtain, but now the curtain has also been broken, and Xiao Yan can clearly see the scene in the room.
Of course, he couldn't see where the bed was from his vantage point, but he could see that on the crumbling table, where a stone had been placed at the foot of the table, a candle that had been intact the night before, had now burned out completely.
Could it be that Qin Wan didn't sleep all night?
Xiao Yan couldn't help but walk over and lift the curtain.
Suddenly, I saw Qin Wan, who was standing in the center of the room with a dark circle under his eyes, looking at the direction of the earthen wall with a serious face.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Yan asked.
Qin Wan said: "The map I drew of Xiliang Snow Mountain, how about you take a look?" ”
Map?
She even knows how to draw maps?
Xiao Yan's heart couldn't help but be amazed, Qin Wan gave him more and more surprises.
Entering the house, he also looked at the map on the earthen wall, and when he saw the map drawn by Qin Wan, he was stunned for a moment.
"How? Not bad, right? ”
Although Qin Wan has no talent for painting, nor does she have any three-dimensional sense, and the map she draws is also very simple, but she shows the southeast, northwest, and scale perfectly.
Xiao Yan stepped forward and clicked on the scale, "What is this?" ”
"This is the scale, such a long distance on the map, about a hundred miles." Qin Wan compared Xiao Yan on the map.
"That's interesting, but there's something wrong with your map, so I'll give you something to add."
Xiao Yan said, moved the table with the stump legs, took a pen and paper, and put pen to paper on the map drawn by Qin Wan.
