Chapter 288: First Expedition
She went to look for it on the first day today, and she didn't know the situation on the mountain, so she didn't let Liu Aiguo follow her.
She took a bamboo basket before going out, and told Liu's mother and Liu Aiguo that she was going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but the mother and son ignored her and let her go.
Li Hongying walked on the road and saw a few women carrying bamboo baskets like her, probably all of whom went up the mountain to find mushrooms and wild vegetables.
She was different from those women, and deliberately didn't go with them, and the greater the distance, the better.
After arriving at the mountain, due to the rugged mountain road, many vegetation, and rolling boulders everywhere, Li Hongying took advantage of these and rugged terrain to quickly throw those people away without a trace, and she went to the mountains alone to find the valley that Zhuang Feifei said.
Zhuang Feifei told her that she was in the innermost part of the deep mountain, but the mountain looked rolling and boundless, and she couldn't figure out where the deepest part was.
The further you go, the more rugged the road becomes, the vegetation becomes more lush, the number of towering trees is much higher than that of the periphery, and the huge canopy of trees shades the sky and the sun, adding to the gloomy atmosphere.
At first, she wanted to go as far inside as she could, but the difficulties of the road ahead made her want to stop at all times.
No, she can't stop, she can't retreat, for the sake of space and materials, a little hard work is nothing.
So she walked a little further, and now there was no road under her feet, and there were weeds and thorns, and gravel hidden in the grass nests.
With a bang, he thought he was careless, didn't see the gravel in the weeds, tripped and fell on a pile of thorns.
In the early summer, people have already changed into single clothes, because of the thin clothing, this fall, many places on her body were pierced by thorns, she grinned in pain, gritted her teeth and stood up, roughly checked the injuries on her body, but the skin was punctured by thorns, there was no big wound, and she continued to move forward.
At last, she came to a valley that she thought was the largest and deepest she had ever seen here, and she was not sure if there was a deeper and bigger valley further inside, and she wanted to go any further, when a question suddenly occurred to her.
Zhuang Feifei and she are both ordinary people, she is already very tired after walking so far, Zhuang Feifei can't go too deep in half a day, perhaps, she just threw the bloodstone necklace here.
Let's go down and find out.
The canyon is generally relatively steep, Li Hongying was full of confidence just now, but when she really set off and wanted to go down, she found the difficulty of traveling.
The slopes on both sides of the canyon are very large, and the steep slopes are the same as the outside, and there is not a single path in sight, which shows how rare it is to be visited.
"Quack!"
There were a few crows in her ears, and she jerked her head to see black birds fluttering their wings and flying away from the trees above her, still quacking as they flew away.
Crows have always been regarded as a symbol of bad luck, and there are people of the older generation who mention crows, saying that crows generally appear around the dead, for example, crows are easy to appear next to the newly built cemetery, and if someone has a dying person, the crow will appear on the roof of their house and chirp on the roof.
The reason why crows often appear near new graves and on the roofs of dying people is that crows like to eat carrion, and there are freshly buried corpses in new graves, which naturally smell when they decay, which can attract crows.
Most of the people who are dying are because they have been in bed for too long, and if they are not well cared for, they will have bedsores on their bodies, especially after breathing, and their bodies will decay rapidly, which will attract crows.
So much so that later people felt that the crow was too yin, and where the crow appeared, people would die or something bad would happen, and the crow gradually became a representative of the hoodoo.
Some people also refer to the crow as the old squad leader in the underworld, and its role can be imagined.
In fact, the crow is just an ordinary bird, and it does not have the right to control the life and death of people, nor does it play a role in leading the occurrence of bad things, it is completely the psychological effect of people themselves.
Li Hongying was frightened by the crow in front of her, she quickly patted her chest, didn't notice, didn't pay attention to her feet, stepped on the stones, and slid down the hillside with a bang.
Along the way, the stones and thorns on the hillside almost tore her clothes, and of course, she was also injured, especially when one knee was broken and a lot of blood flowed.
She sat on the ground, hastily treated the wound, finally found the bare ground, pinched some dry soil foam and sprinkled it on the wound to stop the bleeding.
She endured the pain in her body and scolded Zhuang Feifei thousands of times.
"Zhuang Feifei, you dog mongrel! If you hadn't left your baby in such a dangerous place, I wouldn't have had to go to great lengths to find it, and I wouldn't have been hurt by it. When I find the baby, see how I clean you up in the future. ”
She had not yet reached the bottom of the valley, and when she was standing halfway up the slope, she felt that the valley was surprisingly large, and because of the obscuration of the trees, she could not accurately judge the size of the valley.
She decided to start the search from where she stood, because the terrain here is complicated and there are many trees, in order to prevent walking back to the same place, she used three stones to make a triangle on the ground, if she came here again and saw the triangle of the stones on the ground, it proved that she had already searched this area, and there was no need to search for it a second time.
She limped and ventured through the dense forest to find the whereabouts of the bloodstone necklace, and because she was overly attentive, she didn't notice that time was passing quickly, and before she knew it, the human body clock began to alarm, and her stomach made a rumbling sound.
People are hungry and not only have a stomach, but they don't have the strength to do it, so she has no choice but to find some wild fruits to satisfy her hunger, and after eating, she will continue to look for them.
In the village, Luo Jingyan lives
In the afternoon, Lu Jiu'er came to Luo Changtian again and asked Luo Changtian to continue to teach her cultural lessons.
The black tiger slept in Luo Changtian's arms for two or three hours in the morning, and in the afternoon he was ready to set off with the fat tiger to the mountains to find the bloodstone necklace, but before he left, Lu Jiu'er came again, and she took over from Luo Changtian and held it in his arms.
The black tiger was a little anxious, for fear that Li Hongying would find the bloodstone necklace before them, but Lu Jiu'er hugged it to death and comfortably stroked its head with his hands.
"Black Tiger Black Tiger, you are my favorite cat, let my sister hug you well."
Black Tiger: "......"
Hey, cuteness is a sin, and you can't bury it in black alone.
Sometimes it's a burden to be too cute and likable.
