Chapter 155: Departure
This place in Kushui County, just like its name, is called a difficult location, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only official road is now at risk of being looted by mountain bandits.
Cui Xihao said that Dechang Mansion is in the north of Kushui County, and the so-called 300 li means that it is taken directly from the official road, and if you cross a deep mountain from the north, the distance will be shortened a lot, and the only difficulty is that there are many dangers in the mountain.
The mountain in the north is called Mao'er Mountain locally, and before setting off, Song Qingyou asked a very famous local hunter for advice, but this hunter was only in the range of forty or fifty miles outside Mao'er Mountain, and he didn't know anything about it if he went deeper.
But fortunately, Wang Hang actually found a map of Mao'er Mountain from a long time ago county chronicle, although I don't know if it can still be used after so many years, but it is better than nothing.
Tomorrow is about to leave, Song Qingyou is actually a little anxious, after all, I have watched a lot of programs like following Bei Ye to adventure before, and I know the horror of the primeval forest.
So she entered the space, and after exchanging the books, there were two hundred points left, and she pulled the catalog to see how to maximize the use of these two hundred points.
It's a pity that the points are too few, a field multi-functional camping tent - three hundred and one points, outdoor light source - two hundred and twenty points.
Another point is that because of Xiao Qishu's casualness, some products that are too epoch-making cannot be used, and in the end, he only reluctantly exchanged for a snake venom serum in case of emergency.
At the gate of the county seat of Kushui County, Cui Xihao handed his sword to Xiao Qishu, "This sword was given to me by the teacher when I went to the border gate, so I will borrow it from you now." ”
Xiao Qishu and Cui Xihao went out of the same door, the teacher is a good old general who is called the "god of war" by various countries, and his big hobby is to collect famous swords from various countries, and he also gave Xiao Qishu a hand, but he was searched away when he raided his home.
"Be careful all the way." Cheng Yuxi looked at Song Qingyou worriedly, such a primitive deep mountain and old forest, I don't know what danger will be waiting for them.
Perhaps because there are often hunter activities on the periphery, and the paths that have been stepped on can be seen in many places, Song Qingyou looked at the map, roughly judged the direction from the very abstract graphics, and began to travel deep into the mountains.
In the past, Song Qingyou actually liked to travel, but since he chose to study medicine, he has been seriously compressed by his spare time by schoolwork, and after going to work, let alone after going to work, he just wants to lie down when he comes out of the operating room.
As the trees on both sides grew taller and taller, the sunlight could only be sporadically thrown into a few streams, and the shadows were a little weird.
At first, Song Qingyou was still breathing happily, but after the journey exceeded five miles, she obviously felt that her steps were gradually getting heavier, and the clothes soaked in sweat were also very uncomfortable on her body.
Xiao Qishu looked up at the sun, and roughly estimated that he should have been walking for two hours, and at the same time, he could see that Song Qingyou was starting to lose his strength, so he said, "It's too hot, let's rest before leaving." ”
Song Qingyou was naturally as good as a stream, and found a cool place and prepared to sit down.
"Wait!" Xiao Qishu grabbed her, found a long branch and pulled the grass around her, and sure enough, there was a burst of rustling.
Song Qingyou's face was a little unsightly, she didn't want to delve into what kind of creature was making the squirming, but she thought that if it wasn't for Xiao Qishu, she might sit up, it was uncomfortable after all.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Qishu thought she was frightened and comforted her: "It's still relatively arid here, it should just be something like a rat just now, but it's hard to say if you go inside, so be careful when you encounter grass behind." ”
Xiao Qishu still has a lot of experience in the field of survival in the wild, and Song Qingyou didn't dare to hold it up, and listened carefully to some of the precautions he explained.
After resting almost, the two continued to move forward, and after not being popularized by science, Song Qingyou seemed a lot more cautious in every step he took.
Sou!
Suddenly, a bow and arrow flew past the tip of Song Qingyou's nose, and if she had followed the initial stride, she would have been splashed with blood on the spot at this time.
"What people!"
Xiao Qishu immediately protected Song Qingyou behind him, and watched vigilantly in the direction where the arrow was flying.
"Yo! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! A rough voice sounded, and a dark-skinned man came out of the grass, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, just now there was a rabbit in the distance ready to hunt back, but I didn't expect that there were other people in this deep mountain and old forest." ”
Xiao Qishu looked at the person in front of him, his skin was dark, he had a short knife pinned to his waist, and there were obvious calluses on the fingers of his hands, he should be a hunter in the vicinity.
Orion saw that the temperament of the two was obviously not ordinary people, and they had fine skin and tender meat, so he kindly asked: "You two are the sons and daughters of that family, but you are lost?" I live nearby, old man, and I can take you back. ”
Xiao Qishu still held his sword vigilantly and replied, "We have something to go to Dechang Mansion." ”
"Dechang Mansion!" As he spoke, Orion carried his bow and arrows behind him, and called the hounds on the side to pick up the prey, and then said, "That is going through the whole Mao'er Mountain, and there are really wolves in this mountain, and it is very dangerous." ”
Wolf?
Song Qingyou slapped her head, how could she forget Brother Wolf! Although the experience of the wolf-backed roller coaster is not very good, it is not only physically effortless but also fast!
Looking around, she wondered if Brother Wolf would hear if she shouted here?
As he spoke, the hound came back with the hare in his mouth, and the hunter put the hare away and said, "Well, what do we poor people understand?" The old man has nothing else, so I'll give you some self-defense gadgets. ”
Orion said as he threw a small cloth bag to Xiao Qishu, and opened it to see that it was some powder.
"This deep mountain and old forest, in addition to fierce beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants are the most dangerous, this is my ancestor, it can drive snakes and insects, it can be regarded as making amends for the arrow just now." After Orion finished speaking, he took the dog and disappeared in the lush vegetation.
I don't know if it's because the vegetation is getting denser and denser, Song Qingyou always feels that it seems to be darker in the mountains a little earlier, and the forest becomes more gloomy after the sun turns to moonlight.
Xiao Qishu cut some vines and came back to weave them into a simple Teng bed, and then found two trees that were relatively close to each other, and fixed the Teng bed between the trees, "You can rest on it tonight, and I will keep vigil." ”
Song Qingyou added a branch to the fire and said, "Let's guard half of the fire, I'll keep watch for half the night." I said before that men and women are equal, and you can't just slap yourself in the face today. ”
Xiao Qishu knew that it was very important to have sufficient physical strength, so he did not shirk it, and asked Song Qingyou to wake him up immediately if there was any accident, and then closed his eyes.
