Little Fubao from the farmhouse takes space to flee famine

Chapter 80

At dawn, the fog locks the top of the mountain, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.

The forest is moist, and the early birds are catching worms and jumping happily on the branches.

Wang Yongping climbed a tall tree and looked for the direction. There was a highest mountain in the southeast direction.

Since you want to escape from the world, you have to find a place where no one goes.

What one can see is very close, but it is not easy to walk there, let alone such deep mountains and old forests.

A drop of cold water dripped onto An Ran's head. The trees here are so dense that it feels like a primeval forest.

Xiao Heizi sniffed around and ran ahead to investigate.

"Ah—snake"

Meishi was frightened and clenched her hands tightly, not daring to point.

Wan Guan bared his teeth and called out to the big snake hanging on the tree.

The feet of the timid people almost softened into a puddle of water, and they didn't listen to them, and they were startled when they saw any vines.

"Don't provoke it, leave quickly."

This snake was hanging on a big tree ten meters away from them. Because of its bright color, everyone could see it at a glance.

The boys were drawn into a column, holding thick wooden sticks in their hands, beating the wild vines around them.

"It's the sound of water." The closer Wang Yongping got to the water, the louder the sound became.

He was used to hunting in the mountains before, and he was much calmer in the forest, with a much stronger sense of direction, leading everyone closer to the place where the sound of water came from.

An Ran pricked up her ears, there was really water, it was the sound of ding-dong springs.

Pulling aside the miscellaneous trees, a small trickle rushes, the water is crystal clear, and the water is surrounded by thorny wild vines and green sealwort leaves.

"Let's follow the water."

It's not easy to walk along the water. The water flows out from the cracks in the messy stones, covered with green moss, and it will slip as long as you step on it.

"Hiss—the thorny vines are too prickly." Liu Chunlan looked at the back of her hand that was bleeding from scratches.

Even dogs dare not leave this place. The vines are densely intertwined and criss-crossed, and from time to time something unexpected comes out.

There is no road in the world, and there are roads when there are many people walking.

There were just so many of them, walking a path left and right.

Over the past ten days, I have been getting closer to the destination and farther away from the secular world.

As we walked, the road opened up, the water gurgled, the bamboo forest rustled, and the water became wider.

Perhaps because of the shade of the bamboo forest, there are no weeds and vines around, the water flow under the shade of the bamboo is very gentle, and there is very little sunlight transmitted.

"Mom, the water here is so cold."

The boys used wooden sticks to pick apart the dry bamboo leaves that fell in the water. The water was very cold. Compared with the water flowing in front, the water in this place was like a river in winter. It didn't freeze but was bitingly cold.

"Brother Ye, this place feels creepy and a little scary."

"It's broad daylight, don't scare yourself. You see, there is no sunlight coming in."

One or two strands of light came through the gaps in the bamboo leaves and hit the stones in the water.

Little Heizi didn't like the cool water, so he ran on the bank and only got down when he had to go into the water.

"Uncle Wang, look there is a turtle."

Meishi was worried along the way, and looked around very carefully.

Father Wang followed Mei's line of sight, and it turned out to be a turtle carved in stone.

A corner of this turtle was broken, and the bamboo leaves on it were swept away, and there was a groove on the back of the turtle.

"This is 豑屃."

"How could such a thing appear here?"

This bixi is very big, and it is impossible for such a small amount of water to wash here.

"There should be a tomb near here, it's all right, let's continue walking."

Father Wang comforted the family members, the living people must be afraid of death.

"Everyone take a rest here, this place is empty."

The bamboo forest grows in clusters, and the gaps in the middle are very clean, except for the bamboo leaves, there are no other weeds.

Without light, no other plants can grow around the bamboo.

"Are these bamboo shoots edible?"

Some bamboo shoots sprouted around the bamboo roots, but not many.

"Wrap your hands, there are a lot of itchy hairs outside."

Wrapping his hands, Wang Yongye held up a bamboo shoot with a knife. This bamboo shoot was long and thin, with a dark brown shell covered with fine and dense brown hairs.

"The bamboo shoots are too astringent."

The bamboo shoots were peeled off, and the bamboo shoots inside were small, bitter and numb.

"Just blanch it in water."

Liu Chunlan washed the bamboo shoots and put them in the pot, the water changed color, light green, and a bitter taste wafted out.

The women of the Fang family looked at a pot of bamboo shoots and dared not eat them. What if they died from eating them, there are no doctors in this deep mountain and old forest.

"I'll eat first, I'm hungry." Lei Jian saw that everyone was afraid to try it first, so she took the initiative to ask for a piece.

He will eat any bugs when he is hungry. Anyway, they are all in this mountain and he has to find food to survive.

"Little Jane, what's the matter, whether it's bitter or not, just spit it out quickly."

The young man shook his head, the taste of this bamboo shoot is not bad, a bit bitter but not astringent.

Seeing that Jane is fine, everyone dared to eat.

"Be careful with the fire, don't burn this place."

Father Wang kicked away the dead branches and leaves around him to create a safer area.

"Father, where are you going?" Wang Yongan watched the old man struggling to climb up the hill.

The bamboo forest doesn't grow much, it grows along both sides of the water flow. On both sides of the bamboo forest are very steep slopes, which are covered with wild trees and weeds.

"I'll climb up to see what's in front of the current."

It's a pity that there is no point of leverage here, and you can't go up after climbing a section.

An Ran looked at the rocks exposed on the slope, this place was like a small valley, with high slopes on both sides and gravel in the water.

Looking at the rocks, they are at least a few hundred meters high. If the sun goes to the other side of the mountain, there will be no light at all here.

After a short rest, everyone continued to walk along the water.

Wen Bo lay on Dahei's body, his foot was sprained, and with the broken blisters, his whole foot was injured.

Walking and walking, the sun's light moved away, and the place looked gloomy, and the bamboo forest disappeared in about half an hour.

At the end of the bamboo forest is a cave, where the water flows out.

The entrance of the cave looked pitch black, with large stones scattered outside, and some aquatic plants growing in the cracks between the stones.

They now have to decide whether to go in or not to go in.

"I'll get a torch."

They have only two choices, one is to enter the cave, and the other is to go back to the place where the bamboo forest appeared and climb up from the other side of the mountain.

There is nothing strange in the cave, but fortunately, the place where there are feet is damp and dark. This is an underground river.

The temperature in the cave is so low that people rub their shoulders in the cold, and the water looks shallow but is actually very deep.

Turning around, I finally saw a ray of light, and there was another world outside the cave.

When the vines hanging from the entrance of the cave were lifted, the view broadened and a faint fragrance came.

The white flowers bloom in pieces, the petals are delicate, and the stamens are black. When the wind blows, the thin branches are swaying.

"These flowers look scary."

Several women felt the same way, this place was full of such flowers, shaking like unclean things.

An Ran has never seen such flowers before, these flowers are very special, the fragrance is elegant and pleasant to smell, and the part facing the sun is translucent and crystal clear from the corner of the eye.

Father Wang looked up at the flowers. He had never seen such strange flowers in his entire life.

"Don't pick it!" Liu Chunlan knocked her son's hand off. The flower looked abnormal.

Wen Ming retracted his hand, not daring to move again.

"You are not allowed to touch these flowers casually, it's scary to look at."

The women told the children, afraid that they would touch them.

"Dad, listen, the sound of the water is so loud, there must be a waterfall nearby."

This kind of water sound is only the sound of waterfalls, the sound of water hitting the shore rocks from a high place and escaping.
