Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 23 Sleeping in the rough
After dinner, the coal ash, which was still warm, was covered with soil to ensure that it was completely extinguished, and the trace was cleaned to make it less obvious, and then they started on the road again.

Because Chou Chou could control the donkey, he didn't have to worry about going the wrong way, and went directly to the water source that Chou Chou had discovered before.

At that time, although Chou Chou could see it, he was not close. It's still the same sentence, sometimes it's really looking at the mountains and running to death.

They didn't reach the water source until it was completely dark.

When it was just getting dark, the men began to prepare to find a place to camp and rest.

After all, the mountains at night are still very dangerous. If you don't find a place to camp in advance and wait until it gets dark, it will be very inconvenient.

It's just that Liu Sanli, who was driving the cart, couldn't hold back the donkey cart at all, and couldn't stop the cart at all, so they had to continue walking for a while.

It happened that the road they walked was very narrow, and there was indeed no place to camp.

When they got to the water source, everyone couldn't help but rejoice, thinking that the donkey was just like the chickens, ducks and dogs at home, it would find the water source by itself.

These animals are born to survive in this wilderness, unlike humans, you can only find them if you see them.exist.

Some animals can smell water vapor from a long distance and find it by themselves.

Everyone gathered together and praised the donkey.

It's a pity that the donkey couldn't understand what they said, but when Lanhua and a few women picked a bunch of tender grass for it, it pleased it and bared its teeth at them.

Made several women laugh straight away, "Hey, this donkey is really human, and it will grin when you feed it~"

……

Because it was summer, they didn't need to build any tents to keep out the wind and keep warm, they just needed to sleep on the ground.

There is indeed little rain here, even if it rains, it will pass in a while, so there is no need to worry about being rained in the middle of the night.

Of course, there are still many mosquitoes.

During the meal, countless bugs flew around the fire, and Qingyan ate carefully, fearing that it would accidentally be eaten into her mouth.

When cooking in the evening, Qingyan took out a few pieces of jerky and let them cook them in the porridge. Always eating vegetables will not make you hungry.

After dinner, spread the meadow on the ground and cover with bedding to rest. The men still sleep together, and the women sleep together.

However, the villagers living in the mountains still have their own wisdom.

They got a kind of grass that Qingyan didn't know, and threw it into the fire, and then the fire smoked thickly, but the smoke was not smoky, but there was still a scent of green grass.

After a while, Qingyan noticed that there were significantly fewer mosquitoes around them.

It seems that this grass has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, which is really good.

After carefully recalling the shape of the grass, she had to remember that it would still be useful if she went to play in the wild in the future.

This knowledge is the accumulation of working people's life experience.

The women consciously put Qingyan and Lanhua in the middle to sleep, and then three of them slept on one side.

Although Qingyan felt that the meadow on the ground was very harsh and the straw quilt on her body was not very comfortable, she still felt warm in her heart.

They clearly know that they have high strength and can protect them better outside, but subconsciously treat themselves as children and put them in the middle to protect them, thinking that there are still many kind people.

Chou Chou was sleeping between her and Lanhua, and now he was stretched out.

In fact, Chou Chou doesn't usually sleep very much. After coming here, he doesn't know what's going on. He sleeps very deeply at night, and won't wake up without crying.

After the fire was slowly extinguished, even though there was no wind, the smoke from before slowly dissipated, and there were more mosquitoes around again.

Qingyan was woken up by mosquitoes in the middle of the night, fortunately, she has the kind of body that doesn't attract mosquitoes very much.

This should follow her father, unlike her mother and her brother, who are attracted to mosquitoes. As long as there are mosquitoes, they will be bitten all over their bodies, and they can be covered with mosquito repellent for a while.

However, the humming sound is also very annoying.

Qingyan opened her eyes, but didn't get up.

After all, they were covered with the quilt together. If she got up, when the quilt was lifted, not only would there be movement but also sound.

It's just that in the dead of night, she heard a rustling sound.

Qingyan tensed instantly, it couldn't be something like a snake!
After all, it was in the wilderness, so it was entirely possible.

And the sound didn't look like it was made by a wild beast. If it was the leopard they mentioned before, that guy was as flexible as a cat. After all, she probably wouldn't even be able to hear the sound.

Qingyan didn't care about anything else this time, she just got up and walked to the outside with Chouchou in her arms.

They didn't take off their clothes and shoes when they slept, and they could get up and leave at any time. After all, they were in the wild, so they couldn't control whether they were comfortable or not.

Sure enough, Qingyan's movement alarmed the people around her, Grandma Lanhua asked in a low voice, "Miss Xue, is it convenient to go? I'll go with you."

Qingyan lit the torch first. Of course, she turned her back to everyone and lit it with a lighter. She didn't know how to use a flint at all.

Holding the torch, he looked around first, and then replied: "No, I just heard a rustling sound, I don't know if it is a snake, get up and have a look."

"Snake! Where is it?"

Several women who also woke up said in surprise at the same time as the man who was awakened by the light of the torch.

Although most of the snakes in this mountain are non-poisonous, they are not without poisonous snakes. Everyone stood up, lit two more torches, and shone around.

Qingyan knew that with her own hearing, the voice was not loud and she was not by her side, so there should be some distance.

After waiting for a while, just when everyone thought there was none, or they might have been scared away, a snake one and a half meters long appeared in front of them.

The snake's body was khaki, its upper body straightened up, and it came over very fast, as if it was flying.

"It's flying on grass!"
