Warm fragrance cloud around

Watching Mr. Zhao's carriage and horses completely disappear at the end of the road, Cheng Jiangyun looked away and beckoned Lin Junnuan to get on the carriage.

"Go back to Dali Temple."

The carriage didn't start immediately, the coachman squatted beside the carriage, clutching his stomach, sweating all over his head, "Two or two adults, the little one's stomach hurts a lot, I'm afraid I won't be able to drive the carriage, please drive back by yourself .”

Before he finished speaking, he had already frowning and rushed into the bushes by the side of the road as if fleeing for his life. Soon after, there was a burst of unharmonious huh huh huh. According to this posture, it seemed that it would not end for a while.

The two looked at each other, and Cheng Jiangyun coughed lightly: "Let me drive." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and sat on the shaft in front of him.

The space in front of the car was very narrow, and Cheng Jiangyun's long body was a little too tight to sit on. His legs bent and raised the reins, and the carriage started to drive slowly. Lin Junnuan folded his arms and sat in the carriage to watch leisurely. with.

"Have you ever driven a carriage before? You seem quite skilled in your movements."

Cheng Jiangyun nodded with a calm expression, and his hands moved a little harder, showing off a bit.There was a problem with this show.

The horse pulling the cart suddenly got out of control and ran wildly, causing the whole carriage to shake violently. Cheng Jiangyun only had time to hug Lin Junnuan who was almost thrown out of the carriage. fork in the road.

The frenzied horse dragged the carriage and galloped along the path. Instead of stopping after hitting the thorns and branches on the side of the road, it ran even more frantically. The two managed to stabilize their bodies. Lin Junnuan said loudly; "Quick, stop the horse!" If it runs like this, it will be bad if it rushes down the cliff.

When the carriage came to a slightly open flat ground, Cheng Jiangyun pulled out the sword at his waist, squinted his eyes slightly, and threw the tip of the sword at the back of the horse's neck. Crazy Horse fell to the ground.

The high-speed carriage suddenly lost its tension, and hit the strong horse corpse under inertia, splitting and scattered in an instant. Cheng Jiangyun held Lin Junnuan tightly and bounced a few times, avoiding the violent impact, and the two landed safely.

From startling the horse to now, it may not be time for a cup of tea, but she seems to have experienced a life-and-death disaster. Lin Junnuan's little heart is still pounding, and she can't help being a little dumbfounded looking at the broken wooden boards on the ground.

"Does it hurt?"

The soft fingertips suddenly touched her cheek, which also brought Lin Junnuan back to his senses. Seeing Cheng Jiangyun beside him with worry in his eyes, he quickly turned his head and took out the portable mirror to check his face.

It turned out that when the carriage was split open just now, the flying wood chips left several small wounds on her face. Although the wounds were small, but Lin Junnuan's skin was delicate, and a lot of blood bleed from the small wounds, and there were some small wounds. With the blood of the horse, it looks quite serious.

Lin Junnuan dipped a handkerchief to wipe off the blood on her face, and waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, just wipe it off." The blood seeped out immediately after wiping it off. Picking up the handkerchief, he looked around carefully, "Where is this place?"

After the horse was frightened, he didn't choose his way, and he almost slipped into a dark forest. At this time, they were brought into a dark and dense forest, surrounded by towering giant trees, covered by layers of branches and leaves, almost opaque, not at all the scenery in the suburbs of Beijing in her memory. .

Cheng Jiangyun looked at her deeply for a while, suppressed the urge to help her wipe her face, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "If I guess correctly, we may have broken into Ghost Ridge."

"Ghost Ridge?" Lin Junnuan narrowed his eyes, "Is this haunted?"

Although her own background is a bit peculiar, in essence, she still firmly believes in science and insists on materialism. Don't use ghosts and gods to scare people.

Cheng Jiangyun paused, and deliberately lowered his voice, "The location of this mountain is very hidden, even if you look for it intentionally, you can't find the way. People who accidentally broke into the mountain say that they have encountered ghosts in the mountain, and they flew past with a sudden sound. ..."

The moment he spoke, a black shadow just sprang out from the treetops above the two of them very quickly, and disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye. Listening carefully, it seemed that it was accompanied by faint laughter, The light in the dense forest was dim, and the temperature seemed to be a little lower than the outside world. Lin Junnuan couldn't help but feel a little cold.

"Stop talking, stop talking, find a way out!"

She interrupted Cheng Jiangyun loudly, but subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes with her right hand. It was rare to see Miss Lin showing such a daughter-in-law look, and the corners of Master Cheng's mouth could not help but slightly raised.

The method of judging the direction in the woods, Lin Junnuan, can almost be recited backwards. The side of trees with lush branches and leaves is south, the side with loose annual rings is south, the side with rough bark is north, and the side of rocks covered with moss is north... ...but the problem now is that she doesn't know which direction to get out of the woods from east, west, north, south.To be honest, Miss Lin is actually a road idiot.

In this regard, Cheng Jiangyun seems to be more reliable, but that's all.At first, he carefully observed the horseshoe prints on the ground, studied the damage of the trees, and planned to return along the original road, but halfway there, there was no road ahead, only a dense bush of thorns blocked the way, and they had to turn around.

Cheng Jiangyun frowned, "Go north this time."

He looked up and down at random, and after choosing a direction, he took the lead, but this time it was still not going well. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Junnuan pointed to the white handkerchief tied to the branch above his head, with a very frustrated expression, " We're back again."

The place called "Ghost Ridge" is indeed a bit weird. It is easy for people to lose their way in it, unknowingly go back to the original place, and don't know how the frightened horse broke in just now.

During the time when they were exploring the road, there were still black shadows flying over their heads from time to time. Lin Junnuan went from being panicked at the beginning, to suddenly realizing, to not being surprised, and finally even began to fantasize about a certain legendary delicacy in his mind .

These black shadows are not weird and mysterious existences, but just a few mischievous monkeys. Compared with this, Lin Junnuan is more concerned about his empty stomach now.If I had known that there would be such a catastrophe today, I should have had a good breakfast at home before going out.

The two were circling in the luxuriant woods, surrounded by green grass, green trees and layers of dead leaves. They could hardly feel the passage of time, and they didn't know how long they had walked. Lin Junnuan followed Cheng Jiangyun blankly with a thick branch , so hungry that his eyes were almost staring, his ashen-like eyes suddenly lit up after touching the horse corpse on the ground.

"Shall we roast horse meat?" She subconsciously swallowed.

Horse meat tastes sour, but after being processed with various sauces and seasonings, the taste is also very unique. There are several restaurants in Beijing that are famous for their horse meat dishes. Lin Junnuan has eaten meat once or twice, and he still has a lingering taste in his mouth when he thinks about it.

However, according to their current situation, there is no need to think about sauces and seasonings, and there is not even water for cleaning. Can the roasted horse meat be eaten?Cheng Jiangyun looked at her hesitantly, but Lin Junnuan seemed to be hungry, took his sword and started to attack the horse corpse on the ground.

"Be sure to bring some seasonings when you go out next time." Lin Junnuan was cutting up the horse corpse with a sword, still muttering to himself, not knowing whether the horse's hide was too thick or her strength was too weak, it took a long time to cut it Only a shallow cut was made, Cheng Jiangyun sighed, took the sword and cut it for her.

"It would be great if there was chili powder, as well as pepper powder, salt and pepper, minced garlic, and minced green onion." Lin Junnuan licked his lips and began to fantasize, "Yes, there is also cumin, and cumin is absolutely indispensable for barbecue."

Thinking of this, the tip of her nose seemed to smell a faint scent of cumin. She closed her eyes and inhaled intoxicatedly. Suddenly, her eyes widened. No, this scent is not her hallucination, but real existence!

"Come with me, there are people over there!"

She excitedly pulled Cheng Jiangyun up, and didn't care about the horse meat anymore. She simply covered her face with a veil so as not to disturb her thinking, and carefully discerned the direction from which the scent of cumin came, and walked forward step by step.

This time, they did not get lost again. After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, the two of them suddenly saw a green grassy hillside, a small stream slowly rippling through the mountain stream, and a thatched hut on the hillside. There is a curl of cooking smoke floating, which looks like a peach garden full of poetry.

Lin Junnuan was about to walk towards the hut, but Cheng Jiangyun had no choice but to stop her, and dragged her to the stream, "Wash your face first."

There was a lot of horse blood on the faces and hands of the two of them. If they broke in like this, they might scare people. Lin Junnuan also reacted, washed his face with stream water, and moistened his mouth with a handful of water. The stream water is cool and clear, with a hint of sweetness.

After washing his face, Lin Junnuan casually wiped the water stains, and walked happily into the thatched hut. The two people who were dining in the house were surprised when they found someone coming.

"Who... are you?" The same question flashed across the minds of both parties.

The owners of the hut are a man and a woman, both in their 30s. The man has a rough appearance, with a thick beard covering most of his face. His right foot seems to have some inconvenience. He walks with a limp, but his body is muscular. She is strong, and her strength should not be underestimated; the woman is dressed as a standard village woman, but her gestures are a bit shy, and she speaks in a soft voice, looking like a lively little daughter-in-law.

Knowing that Lin Junnuan and Lin Junnuan were lost in the mountains and accidentally broke into their valley, the owner of the hut seemed to let go of his vigilance and invited them to have lunch together.

Half a scorched deer was roasted on the fire in the middle of the room. The seasoning was well used, and the fragrance wafted far away.Lin Junnuan was so hungry that he couldn't be more polite, thanked the host, took half of the deer leg and began to eat, but Cheng Jiangyun didn't stop him, politely refused the food sent by the host, and secretly raised his vigilance.

There was nothing special in the barbecue, Lin Junnuan swallowed several big mouthfuls, and finally there was something in his empty stomach, before he began to chew slowly.Putting aside the factor of being hungry, the taste of the barbecue itself is quite good, crispy and smooth, oily but not greasy, not bad compared to restaurants.

The woman got up to fetch tea for them, the man watched her leave with a smile on his face, his face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Lin Junnuan earnestly, "Two brothers, please save your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before he had time to explain, the woman had already walked over with tea in small steps. The man immediately restrained his expression and left the house with the excuse of carrying firewood.

When the man left, the woman withdrew her smile and looked at Lin Junnuan and Lin Junnuan with tears in her eyes, "Brothers, please save the little girl's life!"

Lin Junnuan was a little confused when the two asked for help in exactly the same way.
