Su Qingqing found the coir raincoat and bamboo hat from the cracks in the rocks, put the bundled firewood away, tightened the net bag hanging around her waist, and started walking towards the water curtain cave.

After passing through the water curtain, there is another world inside.

The mother and son of the clouded leopard, who stayed day and night and always lay lazily during the day, became energetic as soon as they saw Su Qingqing. They stood up with their hair quivering, and the little clouded leopard jumped towards her happily.

Su Qingqing caught the little thing and petted it like a cat for a while before letting it go.

This pair of clouded leopard mother and son, who help her look after the house, are great. With them around, the naughty monkeys don't dare to cause trouble in the cave.

As usual, Su Qingqing first cleaned up the fallen leaves, then squatted by the pool, released a little bit of water god energy, and picked up two grass carp with bare hands.

She threw the fish in front of the clouded leopard and her son. The fish jumping on the dry land was held down by the clouded leopard's paw.

Clouded leopards eat a variety of things, as long as they are meat, such as birds, fish, monkeys, deer, snakes, eggs, etc., they will eat whatever they can hunt.

Ever since I showed the cave to Su Qingqing, all the birds have disappeared, apes and monkeys have hid here, and even the insects, snakes, rats, and ants in the abandoned cave hidden by vines and weeds have been scared away.

Although snakes, insects, rats and ants have no brains, they still know how to avoid natural enemies. This is instinct.You can't stay here stupidly and keep feeding the clouded leopard, right?
Only the fish in the pool with only seven seconds of memory did not know the danger, but still swam happily in the pool.

Because Su Qingqing feeds them dried meat, the clouded leopard mother and her son now have little pressure to survive.

Occasionally, when I want to eat something fresh, I will climb out along the big tree in front of the cave and hunt for prey outside.

After Su Qingqing fed the clouded leopard mother and child with fish, she took out the key and opened the door of the cave, and continued cleaning and dusting.

Although she doesn't live in the cave now, she quite likes it and must keep it clean.

She had picked a lot of wild fruits along the way. After cleaning them, she washed them in front of the waterfall and ate them directly without peeling them.

There is no shortage of food on Lingnan Road in spring.

There are fish in the water, wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains, and even rice can be harvested twice.There is a record from the Eastern Han Dynasty that "Jiaozhi rice ripens again in summer and winter, and farmers plant it again when it is one year old."

If the miasma was not too poisonous and the mortality rate after getting sick was too high, Lingnan Road would really be a livable place, a paradise for farmers.In a place with a hot and humid climate, there is plenty of food, so you don't have to worry about starving to death in the wilderness.

But if only, the miasma that pervades the mountains, forests and swamps, the backward sanitary conditions, and the lack of medical treatment have led to Lingnan Road still being a place of exile for people in the Central Plains.

Coexisting with the miasma here are many diseases that scare northerners to death, such as malaria, dysentery, beriberi, sand lice, and so on.

But Su Qingqing, who has the energy of the water god, is not afraid. At this moment, she is sitting on the big stone by the pool, taking off her shoes and socks, and soaking her feet in the water to relax.

On days in late March, sometimes the highest temperature in Xunzhou has reached nearly [-] degrees.The temperature in the mountains and forests will be slightly lower by one or two degrees, but it is limited.

The sun was shining brightly today, but the weather was extremely hot. Even though Su Qingqing started climbing the mountain to cut firewood in Shenzhen, she was still sweating.

At this moment, soaking in the mountain pool and feeling the coolness coming from the soles of your feet is so comfortable.After she finished eating the wild fruits, she simply took off her clothes and jumped into the pool to take a bath.

Zhang's family didn't have a big bathtub, so taking a bath was very inconvenient. How could there be any pleasure in jumping into a clean and clear mountain spring pool?
Whenever Su Qingqing goes into the mountains, she always comes here to freshen up.

For this reason, when she traveled back to modern times to get some cloth, she also brought some of her changes of clothes and bath towels with her, and placed them in the innermost cave that she used as her bedroom.

When she jumped into the pool, two clouded leopards, one big and one small, also jumped down to play with her.Cats are probably very playful, and clouded leopards are no exception.

The large and small clouded leopards, who had all been fed water god energy by Su Qingqing, were particularly close to her.If it were brought to modern times, zoologists would definitely be shocked when they see it.

Because clouded leopards are particularly difficult to tame, sometimes a clouded leopard that loses its freedom will even bite its mate to death and refuse to breed.

However, Su Qingqing refused to play with them in the water while taking a bath. She pushed them away one by one and ordered them to climb ashore and not to mess around.

The two clouded leopards looked at Su Qingqing with wet eyes in a particularly anthropomorphic way, as if to judge her determination. If Su Qingqing showed the slightest hint of softness, they would probably end up in the water.

But Su Qingqing's eyes were cold, her jade hands pointed to the shore without hesitation, and her expression was fierce.

Two clouded leopards clung to the rocks beside the pool and climbed onto the shore.Then the two furry heads lay on the stone and stared at Su Qingqing.

Su Qingqing was furious. Although they were just two beasts, she was not used to having eyes watching her bathing.

So he splashed water on the two leopards' heads and said, "Get away from me. Lie down at the entrance of the cave. Don't look at me."

The two clouded leopards tilted their heads and looked at Su Qingqing for a while, then walked away obediently on cat steps.

Every time Su Qingqing went to the pool to take a bath, she always had to experience this scene, and she was helpless.

After she swam a few laps happily, she washed herself, wrapped herself in a bath towel and entered the cave. Then she kicked away the clouded leopard that was about to follow her, closed the door, drew the curtains, and got dressed.

After staying in the cave for such a while, it was getting late and the sun had begun to set. She had to go back as soon as possible.

After leaving the Water Curtain Cave, Su Qingqing put down her coir raincoat and bamboo hat at the same place, picked up the firewood, and walked briskly down the mountain.

The clouded leopard was not far behind her, moving through the forest more nimbly than an ape, escorting Su Qingqing down the mountain.

At the bottom of the hillside, Su Qingqing also met little Nono who was squatting and playing with grass.

"Nono." Su Qingqing called him.

Xiao Nuonuo raised her head when she heard the sound and smiled sweetly at Su Qingqing: "Aunt Qingqing!"

"Why are you here?"

Little Nuonuo shouted back: "I'm herding cows!"

Su Qingqing also saw the big green cow that had just emerged from behind the century-old tree. It was still chewing grass in its mouth. When it saw Su Qingqing, it ran over and rubbed the cow's head affectionately. Su Qingqing's hand seemed to be saying: "Put all the firewood on my back."

Su Qingqing was particularly able to understand its meaning, but she could sense the emotions of any animal she had fed with water god energy.

Joy, fear, joy, pain, all kinds.

She transferred the firewood on her back to the big green ox's back, then picked up little Nuonuo and sat in front of her, smiling: "Let's go home!"
