Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 142 Saved, San'er

The little spider was lying on her lap and was crawling up her shoulders, feeling that the little thing was not as energetic as usual, I wondered in my heart, "Is it really a little spider to tip off the news?"

"Sister, the little spider used to have wings, but it just let it hide." The little girl said in a cheerful tone: "When you see the little spider, the mother-in-law feels that you are in danger, so come with the little spider, and how can I save you?" It was also completed under the guidance of the little spider."

Tao Ran looked at the little spider on his leg and said with emotion, "So it was our ancestors who saved us."

"How did it work? That place is a swamp. Are we at the bottom of the swamp?" I became more and more confused: "No matter which direction you come in, you will definitely touch the swamp. As long as there is wind, people outside will It’s hard to guarantee, let alone save us.”

"You are not under the swamp." The mother-in-law finally spoke: "The place that the little spider took us to is not a swamp. Thank you for your luck. I don't know how to get there. It is not under the swamp, so we can dig A channel to rescue you."

Not under the swamp?I'm a little confused, we obviously entered that place after falling into the swamp, could it be that we turned a corner inside?Tao Ran and I had the same expression, her hand suddenly touched my back, and I was concerned: "It still hurts?"

"No, it's much better." Tao Ran said: "I just thought of something suddenly. After I fell, I hit a heavy object. After I hit it, I felt a strange feeling in my body, as if I was flying. After that I lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I was lying there with you."

Is there any mystery behind that?Tao Ran and I have always been tied together with a rope, and we didn’t untie it until we landed there. If Tao Ran flew out, I would naturally follow. I touched my head: “It’s not easy under the swamp. Life is hard."

My mother-in-law still doesn't like me, anyway, I, Lin Tianyi, am not the type that everyone loves, and the flowers bloom when they are alive. The little girl took down the pot, and I don't know where I got two bowls. I poured half a bowl and put it in front of Tao Ran and me: "Drink it while it's hot."

Tao Ran and I picked it up carefully. There was a pungent mint-like smell in the bowl. I hesitated for a while, seeing that Tao Ran had already taken a sip, I also took a sip like her, and the sip of liquid poured into the bowl. The esophagus slides into the stomach again, with a feeling of warmth, and the body is hot. After the heat, there is a burning sensation, like swallowing peppers raw, and tears flowed out of my eyes: "It's so spicy, it's so spicy." hot!"

Tao Ran laughed out loud: "This is the only way to be effective."

The mother-in-law snorted, turned her head to look at the mountains in the distance, and said suddenly, "I'll get you something to eat."

The mother-in-law stood up, and the little girl immediately ran after her. The two walked into the night together without a flashlight. They walked away like this. I worried: "They don't have any lighting tools. It's too much to walk in like this." Is it dangerous?"

"Grandma and San'er have a very close relationship with the mountain. You understand, especially the mother-in-law. She has lived in this mountain for decades. She can move freely with her eyes at night, which is different from you." Tao Ran saw my empty bowl and said, "Let's have some more."

"No need." I stuck out my tongue, it seemed to be paralyzed, I spat out a few times: "That little girl is called San'er."

"San'er is the daughter of my uncle's family." Tao Ran said, "Like my own sister, I always wanted her to go to school, but my mother-in-law refused, and San'er himself refused."

"Why, a little girl at this age wants to see the outside world." I was a little puzzled: "Why is she willing to stay in such a ghostly place?"

As soon as I said that, I regretted it. Tao Ran’s eyes were like knives, and he wanted to cut me. I apologized: “This is a good place, but for people who are used to living in the city, they can only come here for tourism, not for long-term stay. I apologize for what I just said."

"Forget it, you have always had this virtue, and it's not like you don't know it." Tao Ran said, "Is the blood rain grass still there?"

I immediately opened the backpack, smelled the bloody smell, and immediately felt relieved: "It's still there, now only the tiger tongue leaf is left, I don't know where to find it."

Tao Ran fiddled with the fire to make the flames bigger, his body seemed to be on fire, not scorching hot, the temperature was just right, and he regained his spirit little by little. When the mother-in-law and San'er came back, they had a few more fish in their hands. The son said disappointedly: "I wanted to hunt a pheasant or a hare, but I hid it well in winter and only caught a few fish."

A few fish are already good. I have been tortured for the past two days and have not had a good meal. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and offered to help cut the fish open with stones to remove the scales, and then set it on the fire. My mother-in-law brought salt, roasted it and sprinkled it with a thin layer on top, the aroma became more intense, Tao Ran and I immediately brought one, and took a bite immediately, the moment the fish was imported, we felt so happy laugh!
Tao Ran also let out a happy voice in satisfaction: "It's delicious."

The mother-in-law shook her head, I was eating fish, and suddenly thought of Lao Jiu and Meng Luo, two days had passed, the situation of the two of them changed subtly, we were obviously racing against time, why did we suddenly become obsessed with the present In the food?I quickly wiped my mouth and asked my mother-in-law desperately: "Mother-in-law, are there tiger tongue leaves in this mountain?"

The mother-in-law had an expression of "I know you very well", but she still replied: "The tiger tongue leaf is also a part of the detoxifying silkworm Gu?"

"Yes, mother-in-law." Tao Ran felt something: "Do you know tiger tongue leaves?"

"There is a blood stone on the back of the ghost mountain." The mother-in-law said: "Red liquid will flow out of it, and tiger tongue leaves grow on that stone. The mountain is steep. I don't know if the red liquid is poisonous. You can only pick it. By brute force."

I said immediately: "It's already taken too much time, and there are tigers in the mountains."

Tao Ran raised her head, the sky was about to dawn, she said without hesitation: "I'll go with you."

San'er looked at her mother-in-law pitifully, and the mother-in-law said helplessly, "You can go with my sister too."

It was dawn and the fire was extinguished. I went to find the rope. My mother-in-law was a meticulous person. When she found us, she also brought out the rope. She found a stream and washed the rope. Going to the back of the ghost mountain, the blood stone that my mother-in-law said is actually a piece on the cliff, the top piece, from a distance, there seems to be a "3" on it, a very big "3", the red number is shocking , This is definitely not written on it with red paint. My mother-in-law has returned to Miao Village, and now only Saner is with us. She pointed to it and said, "It's so high, sister, do you want to climb up?"

"You stay here, this brother and I will go up." When Tao Ran faced San'er, his tone was extraordinarily gentle: "Take care of our luggage, understand?"

"I see." San'er's voice sank, "Be careful."

We handed the backpacks to San'er, and San'er simply held both backpacks in his arms and sat on the ground directly. Although there were ropes, they were not professional climbing ropes, and there were no tools to use. They were completely bare-handed. Up the mountain, Tao Ran had already climbed up first. I, a big man, was naturally unwilling to lag behind. I immediately kicked my feet and grabbed my hands, and jumped up. Because it had rained and the rocks were slippery, climbing was not an easy task. The sharp stones I cut the back of my hand several times, and I didn't care about the blood gushing out. One-half of the success is just around the corner. As long as I get the tiger tongue leaf, Lao Jiu and Meng Luo will be saved!
Tao Ran, a competent female police officer, showed her heroic posture once again. She was like a gibbon when she climbed the rock, and her climbing steps were very rhythmic. She looked down at my progress from time to time. My foot slipped, and one foot was completely in the air. I was startled. I used a little force on my hand, and quickly stuck my body to the rock wall, and then slowly retracted the volleying foot: "My God."

The vest was dripping with cold sweat, and my forehead was cold. I overestimated my physical fitness. I personally don’t like to climb mountains, and I don’t usually have the experience of directly climbing cliffs. When I was thinking wildly, a rope hung in front of my eyes. When I looked up, Tao Ran Looking at me: "Tie it on."

"No need." The man's self-esteem began to stir up trouble, and I resolutely refused: "This is more dangerous."

"Stop talking nonsense." Tao Ran also said decisively: "I and the mountain are one."

Where does this woman have confidence? I hesitated for a moment, and obediently tied one end of the rope around my waist, while shaking my head resignedly: "It's a big stain in my life, and I won't be able to erase it in the future."

Under the leadership of Tao Ran, we headed towards the top of the cliff. In the end, Tao Ran and I fixed on the edge of the red area at the same time, one left and one right, and when we got closer, we realized that the "3" was actually a meandering It is made of red liquid in the rock, and the liquid is bubbling out from the stone, and then flowing down the river, because of the structure of the rock, a "3" just flows out, I just want to dip my hands in some red liquid , Tao Ran stopped and said: "Don't touch it, be careful it's poisonous, this is not the point now, is it?"

Yes, the key point is the tiger tongue leaves in the middle of the red liquid. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you know how appropriate the tiger tongue is. Its leaves stick out like a tiger's tongue and then hang down. It is very wide, like a tiger's tongue It is about 30 cm long and has a special structure. The front skin is covered with horny barbs, which are very hard and powerful like a file. The same is true for the leaves of this grass. The thick blades are really amazing.

Seeing me standing there in a daze, Tao Ran said, "Lin Tianyi, your reaction is getting slower and slower."

As soon as her words fell, she immediately took a step up and moved closer to the tiger tongue leaf. Tao Ran was tall and her arms were extraordinarily long. The room is still tied with a rope, so I naturally have to go up. When I got to the right position, Tao Ran decisively stretched out his hand and held the stem of the tiger tongue leaf...
