Xiaoyao Nongjiazi
Chapter 33
Jian Mingyu also stepped forward to help. The back basket is not big, and it will be filled quickly.
Zhong Qingran picked some more fruits and put them in Jian Mingyu's basket, and seeing that he was not at all embarrassed, he directly handed over the glorious task of carrying the fruits to Jian Mingyu.The two big and the three little ones dragged their disappearing shadows as they walked further and further away, leaving only scattered fruits on the fruit trees swaying in the wind.
After arriving home, Zhong Qingran kept a few for himself, and handed over the rest to Mrs. Tong.Thinking about that basket of fruit, because of its small size, there were dozens of them, but Zhong's family couldn't stand the large number of people, and one person would probably use up almost all of it.
It is true that there are more people and more power, but it also means more consumption. It is true that the advantages and disadvantages go hand in hand, which is generally the case in the world.
For the next few days, Zhong Qingran stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.These days, he eats supplements every day, especially chicken soup with a little ginseng root and other medicinal materials, which makes him very tired of eating.
It's not that he's hypocritical, it's really a meal with added ingredients, the taste is not so good.In particular, he had to temporarily hide in his room to avoid the envious eyes of his brothers and sisters, and he had to fight against not-so-tasty food, which exacerbated this bad feeling.
After such a big recovery, Zhong Qingran quickly recovered to his original level.Now that he is in good health, he doesn't want to be envied by others anymore, so he directly tells Tong Shi that his health is fine, so he will keep those things, and let Tong Shi look after anyone who is weak.
Speaking of which, besides Zhong Qingran, the person who left the deepest impression on this accident was Mr. Zhong.Although he didn't react at the time, and when he realized it, the matter was over, but the fact is the fact. Whenever he thought that the horse's hoof was close at hand, he almost died, and he was terrified.
Because of this, Mr. Zhong paid more attention to what Zhong Qingran proposed. In just a few days, the preliminary decoration of the shop has been completed, and the shelves and counters have a general appearance. It is expected that it will be officially opened in a few days.As for the embroiderer, one has already been found and is currently in contact.
Mr. Zhong was busy, and Zhong Qingran was not idle either. Although he couldn't go out, there were a lot of things he could do.In the past half a year, he was able to recognize almost the same traditional Chinese characters. Occasionally, he made mistakes in writing, which had little impact on him, so he didn't focus on it, and only turned to the book when he couldn't remember it.
For several days in a row, Zhong Qingran immersed himself in his copywriting, writing pages of medical books in lower case.These are precious information, it doesn't matter if he doesn't like it, if he doesn't even have a chance to pass it on, he will despise himself without his grandfather jumping out of the grave.
Some of the medical books written by Zhong Qingran were originally from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since he didn't have time to examine them carefully, he recorded them all regardless of what was there or not, and he has written a small volume so far.
Flipping through the thin medical books in his hands, Zhong Qingran was full of a sense of accomplishment. What could be more satisfying than the inheritance of knowledge?With this enthusiasm, Zhong Qingran couldn't stop. Even if his body returned to normal, he would devote himself to it until he used up all the blank books before coming to an end.
Zhong Qingran had nothing to do for a while, so he remembered his original plan. Even though he now has the helper of Fu Yunzhu, he couldn't pin all his hopes on it.
Zhong Qingran stretched his waist. He was bored in the room for the past few days, and his hands and feet were a little stiff. He opened the door only after his body could function freely.
The sun was just right outside, and my father Zhong Zhengren was sitting under the eaves of the porch, thinking about how to weave a fish, and now he has some ideas.Next to it is Zhong Qingyang, who weaves an exquisite little basket in the shape of a fruit.Both of them were very serious, and they didn't even raise their heads when they heard a slight sound.
Zhong Qingran walked up to Zhong Zhengren and made a small request of his own: "Father, when are you free to help me cut some small pieces of wood with a square of one inch and two inches, half the thickness of a pinky finger, the more the better."
Zhong Zhengren put down the thin cane in his hand, his eyes were full of doubts: "This thing is simple, what do you need so much for?"
"Write on the front and draw pictures on the back. When the ink is dry, let the brothers and sisters look at the pictures and recognize the characters." Zhong Qingran raised the corners of his mouth, and when he thought of a few little guys lying in a pile of wood, rummaging through the calligraphy and paintings he liked, he felt happy.
"Okay, I'll get it for you when I finish compiling this." Seeing that it was a good thing, Zhong Zhengren didn't ask any more questions, and readily agreed.
On the same day, Zhong Qingran received some small pieces of wood that were polished smooth and of the same size, and he painted them with simple patterns and matched them with corresponding characters.
In ethnology, people are taught enlightenment scriptures and literacy at the same time. In Zhong Qingran's view, the requirements for children are a bit high.Literacy by looking at pictures, especially those familiar items, will have a better memory effect.
Before, Zhong Qingran taught some simple words to the four younger siblings who often followed him. Now that he has teaching aids, it is more convenient for him to teach.
"Third brother, this is a carp, I recognize this one." Zhong Qingcheng, the youngest, held a piece of wood with a picture of a green carp on it, and his mouth was crystal clear with joy.
"Well, this is sand fruit. I just ate it a few days ago." Zhong Qinghan was not willing to be left behind, but he was more interested in the red fruit, thinking in his heart that it would be even better if he could eat it.
Zhong Qingran rubbed his forehead and sighed. It seems that these two younger brothers have the potential to become foodies. Otherwise, why would they choose food out of twenty or thirty pictures, and even look at them with a coveted look, trying to make people not misunderstand are difficult.
In a blink of an eye, Zhong Qing and Zhong Xiao didn't give up much, one chose 'chicken' and the other chose 'sugar'.Well, he is still a child, liking sex and food seems to be an innate instinct, he doesn't need to raise them to a higher level to treat them.
Zhong Qing recognized the characters for a while, then was called away to work, and the three little guys were left to play happily there.Zhong Qingran didn't teach everything in one brain, at most he could teach three or five characters a day, that's all, the amount accumulated every day was not small.
Seeing that today's task has been completed, Zhong Qingran is ready to get up and go back to his room to do his own work, leaving those calligraphy and paintings behind, and the three younger siblings will do whatever they want.As soon as he raised his head, he glanced at Zhong Le, the seventh younger sister who was the same age as Zhong Xiao, standing alone by the side, her eyes staring directly at the three little guys who had forgotten themselves in playing.
Zhong Qingran didn't care, and he didn't stop him. If he wanted to learn, he told him, if he wanted to play, he just joined in. He wouldn't force Zhong Qinghan and the others to pull her to play together.
As soon as Zhong Qingran left, Zhong Le stopped waiting for Ai Ai, and ran directly to the pile of children, grabbed a piece of wood with her little hand, saw that it was the "bowl" she wasn't interested in, put it down again, and looked through it, but didn't see what she liked , and said to the youngest Zhong Qingcheng: "Sixth brother, can I play with you?"
Zhong Qingcheng was having a good time, seeing that it was the seventh sister of the third uncle's family, he thought about it, and gave her a few dollars.
Seeing Zhong Le, she no longer had a pitiful look on her face, but finally had a smile on her face.
Seeing them playing together so quickly, Zhong Qingran shook his head with a smile, expressing that his siblings are still young, they are just at the age of forgetting to eat but not to play, they have fun, and they are willing to play with Zhong Le who basically doesn't play with them.
Soon it was time for dinner, and the little fellows collected their things, and Zhong Qinghan and Zhong Xiao carried them to Zhong Qingran's room.Fortunately, Zhong Qingran had laid out a mat for them to play before, otherwise they would have turned into mud monkeys after playing the way they played for so long.
As time passed day by day, the wooden chips of calligraphy and painting in the rattan basket piled up higher and higher.Zhong Qingran roughly counted them, there were almost a few hundred pieces of wood, and each piece of wood represented a character. If he really could recognize these commonly used characters, he would be able to do a little bit of guessing, and even read some simple books.
Seeing that there was almost no room for a basket, Zhong Qingran distributed some to his younger brothers and sisters for safekeeping, so that they could take it out and have a look at it when they had nothing to do, so as to deepen their memory.
Zhong Qingran received a thank you gift and had a large sum of money in his hand, but he almost forgot about entering the mountain.That's right, he went to the mountains to make more money, and to try his luck in the mountains, if he could find some expensive medicinal materials, that would be great.
People have to keep their promises, and this matter was brought up by him, so naturally they can't give up halfway.
Thinking that it was only a few days before the appointed time, Zhong Qingran went to the doctor's to buy some insect repellent powder, along with a few medicinal materials that he lacked, and prepared to make another one for himself to see how it worked.
Except for the zhixue powder handed down in his family, most of the other medicines Zhong Qingran has only seen his grandfather make up, and he rarely does it himself. It's not that his grandfather didn't give him a chance, but that he was still young at that time, just the age for fun It is already very good to be able to remember all kinds of Chinese herbal medicine knowledge instilled by his grandfather, so his grandfather did not force him.
Fortunately, now that Zhong Qingran's memory has been strengthened, he recalled his grandfather's operation process from his mind, followed the steps demonstrated by his grandfather, step by step, and followed the same pattern. There is not much difference in the patented medicine. resemblance.
Ever since he saw the difference between red lobster and crayfish, Zhong Qingran was not sure whether what he saw was exactly what he remembered, especially the medicine, let alone messing around.Fortunately, the insect repellent powder does not need to be taken internally. He sprinkled it on places where there are many small insects. He saw ants crawling away quickly.I took it to the chickens and shook them, and they all retreated a foot away in disgust.
Zhong Qingran went back to the house and put down the deworming medicine he prepared, took out the one he bought from the doctor, and tried the same.Both are anthelmintics, and due to different formulas, the effects are also different. Generally speaking, the one formulated by Zhong Qingran has a better effect.
Zhong Qingran seemed to think of something, pondered for a while, took the remaining medicinal materials, and went to find Mr. Zhong.
"Grandpa, you can try to dispense some medicine for me."
Mr. Zhong had no doubts, he just regarded it as the prescription that his third grandson had learned from medical books, and he would do what Zhong Qingran said.After a few times, the patented medicine and Zhong Qingran's compound are similar.
Zhong Qingran took it out and experimented with the same method, and the results showed that the effect of his own matching was better than that of Mr. Zhong's, and when he thought about the fact that the fruits of the fruit trees on the slopes were also slightly better than others, he realized that everything he had was probably worthless. Unknowingly got the bonus of lucky beads.
Before that, Zhong Qingran only knew that the energy contained in the lucky beads was good fortune, which could be condensed into money, but he never thought of integrating them into items.Since he had this idea, he immediately put it into practice.
He aimed at the amulet hanging on his body, which Tong Shi went to the Taoist temple to ask for. He had worn it for more than ten years, and it looked very new on the outside. In fact, Tong Shi worked hard and made new ones every year. But really old stuff.
Zhong Qingran took out the token, and prepared to draw a copper coin directly from the Fortune Pearl to try.After the energy left the body, he controlled not to transform it into a real thing, but directly melted the invisible blessing into the amulet, and it turned out to be true.However, it was very energy-consuming. With such a small unit of luck, he obviously felt that his energy had dropped.
At this moment, look again, the amulet is different from before, and the red light is faintly visible on it.He tried other things, and finally concluded that harmless things can bring good luck, but others, such as scissors and insect repellent, can't.
Zhong Qingran quickly figured out that good fortune itself brings good luck to people, and he does not advocate killing people, so he naturally rejects such things as swords, spears, swords and halberds.
Zhong Qingran didn't know whether the radiance of fortune was only seen by him, or everyone could see it.To be on the safe side, he carried Zhong Qingcheng, held the amulet in front of his eyes, and asked him what color it was.
Zhong Qingcheng did not answer directly.Children are usually very interested in things that shake before their eyes, and he is no exception.
Zhong Qingcheng's attention was suddenly attracted, and his reaction was slow. He stretched out his small hand, grabbed it, and played with it a few times. Seeing that there was nothing interesting, he put it aside. Then he remembered Zhong Qingran's question, and looked at his clothes again. , with a childish voice, said happily: "Third brother, blue, it's the same color as my clothes!"
After reaching the conclusion, Zhong Qingran stuffed a piece of fructose into Zhong Qingcheng's mouth, and said with praise: "Qingcheng is really good, he can recognize the color, tell third brother, what else do you want?"
"Red Black……"
……
In a blink of an eye, the appointed day came. Zhong Qingran went out early in the morning with a basket on his back and a long wooden stick. For some hunting skills, just turn around the periphery of Lushan Mountain, but don’t go deep.”
"Grandma, I got it, I will be careful."
Seeing Zhong Qing's expectant eyes, Zhong Qingran smiled apologetically, this time he didn't dare to take an eight-year-old girl with him, he was only fooling Tong, so how dare he add another one?He stepped forward and rubbed Zhong Qing's head, comforting him softly: "Girl Qing, third brother will take you there next time."
Zhong Qing is not a fool, seeing that the third brother said so, he had no choice but to give up, but his eyes kept chasing Zhong Qingran's distant figure until he could no longer see it.
When Zhong Qingran arrived, Jian Mingyu had already been waiting at the entrance of the village. After meeting, the two quickly headed towards Lushan Mountain.
There was dew in the morning, Zhong Qingran and the others went up the mountain just in time, and the dew was about to be collected, so they avoided the fate of being covered in morning dew.
"Mingyu, I almost forgot. You take this sachet. It contains insect repellent powder. It is more effective than the one bought by the doctor. How about I bring it for you?" Zhong Qingran smiled, feeling a little bit about his proposal. eager to try.
Jian Mingyu didn't give him this chance, he gave him a sideways look, and quickly put it into his sleeve.
Now that it's autumn, it's still quite cool in the morning, and he doesn't have to sweat all over his body like before, which makes Zhong Qingran feel much happier, and he is also interested in teasing Jian Mingyu anytime and anywhere, one talking, one listening, and looking harmonious.
There was a clear goal this time, and the two did not stop at the outskirts of Lushan Mountain, and went directly to their destination.
The two of them walked the trails that people often walked, and of course the gains were negligible. In view of this, Jian Mingyu, the leader, quickened his pace and stopped looking around.
Jian Mingyu didn't stop until he entered the border area between the outer edge of Lushan Mountain and the deep mountain.After walking on the mountain road for a long time, Zhong Qingran was panting. On the other hand, Jian Mingyu, except for the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, was not much different from walking on a flat road.
Zhong Qingran only admired it, the two were really not on the same level, one had been doing physical labor for many years and was extremely talented, and the other knew nothing except running around and being healthy.
After changing to Zhong Qingran, although he paid attention to exercising, in comparison, he was not much better than the original owner. At least the original owner ran and danced all day long, so he stayed at home a lot.There is no way, he is good at painting, and he must spend more time at home than the original owner, so he can only exercise more on weekdays to improve his physical fitness.
Jian Mingyu didn't say anything when he saw this, but he was very considerate of Zhong Qingran's actions, and he didn't move on until he had enough rest.
As long as you pay attention to snakes, insects, rats and ants outside Lushan Mountain, you can move freely. At this junction, the number of people is greatly reduced. Get in groups.
There were only two of them, not to mention Jian Mingyu, even Zhong Qingran, who didn't know much about the situation, didn't dare to go in hastily, even if he had the helper of Fu Yunzhu, he didn't dare.Who would be willing to take their own life as a joke?Anyway, Zhong Qingran didn't have such a hobby.
Here, Jian Mingyu is in charge of everything, let's forget about Zhong Qingran, he has no experience in this field, and if you listen to him instead, isn't that showing off?
Both of them moved lightly. The trees here were taller than those outside, and the vegetation was more lush. In addition to the sound of insects and birds, the only sound left was the rustling of their feet on the ground.This made Zhong Qingran feel panicked, as if he really felt like entering the mountain now, as if the mountain before was just his back garden.
Jian Mingyu's expression was focused, and he would stop and listen carefully from time to time. Occasionally, when he saw animal footprints, he would carefully identify them to make sure there was no danger before moving on.It was so solemn just after entering, which made Zhong Qingran who followed him a little nervous, purely because of the atmosphere.
Since entering the junction, the two have stopped talking.The fragrance of the grass and the smell of the soil made Zhong Qingran feel uncomfortable for a while.
Jian Mingyu glanced back from time to time to make sure that Zhong Qingran was not behind, so he moved forward with confidence. Since he brought him out, he must take him back properly. If something happened to Zhong Qingran, he didn't know how to face the Zhong family. .
Based on this consideration, Jian Mingyu only took Zhong Qingran around the junction, not daring to go too deep.In fact, to be honest, he didn't come here many times.After all, he still has a younger brother to support, if something happens to him, he can't even imagine what will happen tomorrow morning.
Walking a little further in, the animal activities began to be frequent. Sometimes pheasants and hares flashed past in the distance, making the branches and leaves rustle, which frightened Zhong Qingran several times.This made him a little ashamed. It seems that before his ability is insufficient, he should not even think about sneaking in here alone, he would be scared to death just by being scared.
Zhong Qingran took a few deep breaths, slowed down his heartbeat, and calmed down his nervous emotions. Then he pretended that nothing had happened and followed silently.
Jian Mingyu still had a dull face, and only when he was turning his back on someone, did the corner of his mouth curl into a slight smile.After all, he is still a half-grown child who has never experienced anything, Zhong Qingran's performance has exceeded his expectations, it is better not to hit him.
Jian Mingyu thinks like this, but he doesn't know that he is a few months younger than Zhong Qingran, Zhong Qingran is like this, but he is so calm, comparing the two, the difference in living environment can be seen.
There is no special reason why the periphery and junction of Lushan Mountain are so distinct, but it is just the difference caused by tree species and climate.In the peripheral area, compared with the junction, the vegetation is much sparser, and they are all common ordinary trees. It is difficult for animals to hide, and there are many human activities in the periphery, which exacerbates this situation.
But the junction is completely different. The trees here are tall, and there are many shrubs and vines spreading and growing. If you are in a daze, people who walk together may get separated.
It has happened that I was lost for several days, and then I was as lucky as a savage to find home.What's more, after getting lost, you can't find it anymore.Therefore, it is a matter of course that people keep secret about it.
The two came prepared, but Zhong Qingran wasn't worried about getting lost, as long as he didn't encounter any large beasts, everything would be fine.
"I've seen it. It's safe around here. Let's look for it separately." Jian Mingyu took the herb pattern provided by Zhong Qingran, and frowned slightly. Stopping it, it may not be possible to match the herbs on the painting with the real thing for a while.
Zhong Qingran nodded, chose a direction, and started working.They had been on their way before, and if they hadn't happened to see it by chance, neither of them would have deliberately stopped to look for it.When they got here, they stopped moving forward. This place will be the deepest point they have reached, and they will only look horizontally from behind, and then they will turn back, and then walk closer and closer to the periphery.
Jian Mingyu took out the sachet, played with it in his hands, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.He used to bring insect repellent powder with him when he went here, but even so, he would always run into some snakes, insects, rats and ants. After wearing this, he only saw them from afar. keep away.
Needless to say, Jian Mingyu also knows that this is a good thing. With it, it will be much safer to go into the mountains in the future.
In fact, once the frequency of snakes, insects, rats and ants rises to a certain level, they will be more harmful to human beings. After all, there are only a few ferocious prey.
Jian Mingyu understood this, so he paid more attention to the sachet in his hand.
Zhong Qingran picked some more fruits and put them in Jian Mingyu's basket, and seeing that he was not at all embarrassed, he directly handed over the glorious task of carrying the fruits to Jian Mingyu.The two big and the three little ones dragged their disappearing shadows as they walked further and further away, leaving only scattered fruits on the fruit trees swaying in the wind.
After arriving home, Zhong Qingran kept a few for himself, and handed over the rest to Mrs. Tong.Thinking about that basket of fruit, because of its small size, there were dozens of them, but Zhong's family couldn't stand the large number of people, and one person would probably use up almost all of it.
It is true that there are more people and more power, but it also means more consumption. It is true that the advantages and disadvantages go hand in hand, which is generally the case in the world.
For the next few days, Zhong Qingran stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.These days, he eats supplements every day, especially chicken soup with a little ginseng root and other medicinal materials, which makes him very tired of eating.

Zhong Qingran went back to the house and put down the deworming medicine he prepared, took out the one he bought from the doctor, and tried the same.Both are anthelmintics, and due to different formulas, the effects are also different. Generally speaking, the one formulated by Zhong Qingran has a better effect.
Zhong Qingran seemed to think of something, pondered for a while, took the remaining medicinal materials, and went to find Mr. Zhong.
"Grandpa, you can try to dispense some medicine for me."
Mr. Zhong had no doubts, he just regarded it as the prescription that his third grandson had learned from medical books, and he would do what Zhong Qingran said.After a few times, the patented medicine and Zhong Qingran's compound are similar.
Zhong Qingran took it out and experimented with the same method, and the results showed that the effect of his own matching was better than that of Mr. Zhong's, and when he thought about the fact that the fruits of the fruit trees on the slopes were also slightly better than others, he realized that everything he had was probably worthless. Unknowingly got the bonus of lucky beads.
Before that, Zhong Qingran only knew that the energy contained in the lucky beads was good fortune, which could be condensed into money, but he never thought of integrating them into items.Since he had this idea, he immediately put it into practice.
He aimed at the amulet hanging on his body, which Tong Shi went to the Taoist temple to ask for. He had worn it for more than ten years, and it looked very new on the outside. In fact, Tong Shi worked hard and made new ones every year. But really old stuff.
Zhong Qingran took out the token, and prepared to draw a copper coin directly from the Fortune Pearl to try.After the energy left the body, he controlled not to transform it into a real thing, but directly melted the invisible blessing into the amulet, and it turned out to be true.However, it was very energy-consuming. With such a small unit of luck, he obviously felt that his energy had dropped.
At this moment, look again, the amulet is different from before, and the red light is faintly visible on it.He tried other things, and finally concluded that harmless things can bring good luck, but others, such as scissors and insect repellent, can't.
Zhong Qingran quickly figured out that good fortune itself brings good luck to people, and he does not advocate killing people, so he naturally rejects such things as swords, spears, swords and halberds.
Zhong Qingran didn't know whether the radiance of fortune was only seen by him, or everyone could see it.To be on the safe side, he carried Zhong Qingcheng, held the amulet in front of his eyes, and asked him what color it was.
Zhong Qingcheng did not answer directly.Children are usually very interested in things that shake before their eyes, and he is no exception.
Zhong Qingcheng's attention was suddenly attracted, and his reaction was slow. He stretched out his small hand, grabbed it, and played with it a few times. Seeing that there was nothing interesting, he put it aside. Then he remembered Zhong Qingran's question, and looked at his clothes again. , with a childish voice, said happily: "Third brother, blue, it's the same color as my clothes!"
After reaching the conclusion, Zhong Qingran stuffed a piece of fructose into Zhong Qingcheng's mouth, and said with praise: "Qingcheng is really good, he can recognize the color, tell third brother, what else do you want?"
"Red Black……"
……
In a blink of an eye, the appointed day came. Zhong Qingran went out early in the morning with a basket on his back and a long wooden stick. For some hunting skills, just turn around the periphery of Lushan Mountain, but don’t go deep.”
"Grandma, I got it, I will be careful."
Seeing Zhong Qing's expectant eyes, Zhong Qingran smiled apologetically, this time he didn't dare to take an eight-year-old girl with him, he was only fooling Tong, so how dare he add another one?He stepped forward and rubbed Zhong Qing's head, comforting him softly: "Girl Qing, third brother will take you there next time."
Zhong Qing is not a fool, seeing that the third brother said so, he had no choice but to give up, but his eyes kept chasing Zhong Qingran's distant figure until he could no longer see it.
When Zhong Qingran arrived, Jian Mingyu had already been waiting at the entrance of the village. After meeting, the two quickly headed towards Lushan Mountain.
There was dew in the morning, Zhong Qingran and the others went up the mountain just in time, and the dew was about to be collected, so they avoided the fate of being covered in morning dew.
"Mingyu, I almost forgot. You take this sachet. It contains insect repellent powder. It is more effective than the one bought by the doctor. How about I bring it for you?" Zhong Qingran smiled, feeling a little bit about his proposal. eager to try.
Jian Mingyu didn't give him this chance, he gave him a sideways look, and quickly put it into his sleeve.
Now that it's autumn, it's still quite cool in the morning, and he doesn't have to sweat all over his body like before, which makes Zhong Qingran feel much happier, and he is also interested in teasing Jian Mingyu anytime and anywhere, one talking, one listening, and looking harmonious.
There was a clear goal this time, and the two did not stop at the outskirts of Lushan Mountain, and went directly to their destination.
The two of them walked the trails that people often walked, and of course the gains were negligible. In view of this, Jian Mingyu, the leader, quickened his pace and stopped looking around.
Jian Mingyu didn't stop until he entered the border area between the outer edge of Lushan Mountain and the deep mountain.After walking on the mountain road for a long time, Zhong Qingran was panting. On the other hand, Jian Mingyu, except for the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, was not much different from walking on a flat road.
Zhong Qingran only admired it, the two were really not on the same level, one had been doing physical labor for many years and was extremely talented, and the other knew nothing except running around and being healthy.
After changing to Zhong Qingran, although he paid attention to exercising, in comparison, he was not much better than the original owner. At least the original owner ran and danced all day long, so he stayed at home a lot.There is no way, he is good at painting, and he must spend more time at home than the original owner, so he can only exercise more on weekdays to improve his physical fitness.
Jian Mingyu didn't say anything when he saw this, but he was very considerate of Zhong Qingran's actions, and he didn't move on until he had enough rest.
As long as you pay attention to snakes, insects, rats and ants outside Lushan Mountain, you can move freely. At this junction, the number of people is greatly reduced. Get in groups.
There were only two of them, not to mention Jian Mingyu, even Zhong Qingran, who didn't know much about the situation, didn't dare to go in hastily, even if he had the helper of Fu Yunzhu, he didn't dare.Who would be willing to take their own life as a joke?Anyway, Zhong Qingran didn't have such a hobby.
Here, Jian Mingyu is in charge of everything, let's forget about Zhong Qingran, he has no experience in this field, and if you listen to him instead, isn't that showing off?
Both of them moved lightly. The trees here were taller than those outside, and the vegetation was more lush. In addition to the sound of insects and birds, the only sound left was the rustling of their feet on the ground.This made Zhong Qingran feel panicked, as if he really felt like entering the mountain now, as if the mountain before was just his back garden.
Jian Mingyu's expression was focused, and he would stop and listen carefully from time to time. Occasionally, when he saw animal footprints, he would carefully identify them to make sure there was no danger before moving on.It was so solemn just after entering, which made Zhong Qingran who followed him a little nervous, purely because of the atmosphere.
Since entering the junction, the two have stopped talking.The fragrance of the grass and the smell of the soil made Zhong Qingran feel uncomfortable for a while.
Jian Mingyu glanced back from time to time to make sure that Zhong Qingran was not behind, so he moved forward with confidence. Since he brought him out, he must take him back properly. If something happened to Zhong Qingran, he didn't know how to face the Zhong family. .
Based on this consideration, Jian Mingyu only took Zhong Qingran around the junction, not daring to go too deep.In fact, to be honest, he didn't come here many times.After all, he still has a younger brother to support, if something happens to him, he can't even imagine what will happen tomorrow morning.
Walking a little further in, the animal activities began to be frequent. Sometimes pheasants and hares flashed past in the distance, making the branches and leaves rustle, which frightened Zhong Qingran several times.This made him a little ashamed. It seems that before his ability is insufficient, he should not even think about sneaking in here alone, he would be scared to death just by being scared.
Zhong Qingran took a few deep breaths, slowed down his heartbeat, and calmed down his nervous emotions. Then he pretended that nothing had happened and followed silently.
Jian Mingyu still had a dull face, and only when he was turning his back on someone, did the corner of his mouth curl into a slight smile.After all, he is still a half-grown child who has never experienced anything, Zhong Qingran's performance has exceeded his expectations, it is better not to hit him.
Jian Mingyu thinks like this, but he doesn't know that he is a few months younger than Zhong Qingran, Zhong Qingran is like this, but he is so calm, comparing the two, the difference in living environment can be seen.
There is no special reason why the periphery and junction of Lushan Mountain are so distinct, but it is just the difference caused by tree species and climate.In the peripheral area, compared with the junction, the vegetation is much sparser, and they are all common ordinary trees. It is difficult for animals to hide, and there are many human activities in the periphery, which exacerbates this situation.
But the junction is completely different. The trees here are tall, and there are many shrubs and vines spreading and growing. If you are in a daze, people who walk together may get separated.
It has happened that I was lost for several days, and then I was as lucky as a savage to find home.What's more, after getting lost, you can't find it anymore.Therefore, it is a matter of course that people keep secret about it.
The two came prepared, but Zhong Qingran wasn't worried about getting lost, as long as he didn't encounter any large beasts, everything would be fine.
"I've seen it. It's safe around here. Let's look for it separately." Jian Mingyu took the herb pattern provided by Zhong Qingran, and frowned slightly. Stopping it, it may not be possible to match the herbs on the painting with the real thing for a while.
Zhong Qingran nodded, chose a direction, and started working.They had been on their way before, and if they hadn't happened to see it by chance, neither of them would have deliberately stopped to look for it.When they got here, they stopped moving forward. This place will be the deepest point they have reached, and they will only look horizontally from behind, and then they will turn back, and then walk closer and closer to the periphery.
Jian Mingyu took out the sachet, played with it in his hands, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.He used to bring insect repellent powder with him when he went here, but even so, he would always run into some snakes, insects, rats and ants. After wearing this, he only saw them from afar. keep away.
Needless to say, Jian Mingyu also knows that this is a good thing. With it, it will be much safer to go into the mountains in the future.
In fact, once the frequency of snakes, insects, rats and ants rises to a certain level, they will be more harmful to human beings. After all, there are only a few ferocious prey.
Jian Mingyu understood this, so he paid more attention to the sachet in his hand.
