The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The more you dig, the more you will find.

For Gu Liang, finding a Paris japonica plant is like finding a money plant growing in the mountains. So he dug very hard and continued until the afternoon.

It's not that the two didn't want to go home, but every time they felt it was almost time to go back, they would always find a new Paris japonica plant blocking their way back. So the two reluctantly went down the mountain until they felt that if they didn't go back, they would have to go down the mountain in the dark.

It has to be said that if you don't venture into the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger cub. This sentence is very good. The medicinal materials deep in the Dahei Mountain are still very rich. At the end of the day, the two dug half a backpack of Paris japonica alone, not to mention other medicinal materials such as Polygonatum sibiricum and Poria cocos.

On the way down the mountain, the two people didn't know whether they underestimated their own strength, or it was difficult to walk in the mountains, or maybe it was too dark. In short, it was dark when they just got down to the foot of Dahei Mountain.

Because it was dark and the mountain road was narrow, the two people's speed was even slower. It was raining all night, and the clouds were a bit thick tonight. The moonlight that usually illuminated the mountain road was gone, and it was easy to slip if you were not careful.

In this pitch-black and pitch-dark situation, Gu Liang couldn't see the figure of Daxiong, the five black dogs, at all. After all, even its tongue was black. Gu Liang was afraid that Daxiong would not catch up and they would not find it, so he explored the road while calling Daxiong's name. Fortunately, Daxiong was very obedient and responded to it as soon as he was called.

Such responses continued all the way. It was not that Gu Liang didn't want to stop, but as soon as they stopped, the surrounding sounds would sound.

The sounds of frogs, cicadas, crickets, and cicadas are all familiar to us, but they are all small animals and insects, and they pose no threat to Gu Liang and Gu Boxi. But the really scary thing is some other sounds, the calls of nocturnal owls, which sometimes sound like a child crying, sometimes like laughing, and sometimes like the sounds of vampires in Western movies, which is very creepy. And its sound spreads far, making people feel that this thing is very close to them, especially when there is movement in the grass, they will be scared to death.

And there are more than these calls, sometimes you can even hear the barking of deer in the forest, which is noisy and unpleasant, but suddenly it comes, it is almost scary to death.

After walking for an unknown period of time, the two finally arrived in Lanxi Village. The two estimated that it was very late, because there was no light in the village, and most of them were asleep, only a faint light was at the door of one house.

The two walked closer and found that it was their home. The exhausted two rushed to the door.

At the door, Mrs. Gu and Chen heard the movement in the distance and asked: "Xier, Lianger, is it you? Are you back?"

Gu Liang and Gu Boxi responded to Mrs. Gu immediately after hearing her voice.

When Mrs. Gu heard that her son and grandson were back, she excitedly told them to walk slowly, and then she and Chen went out to greet them with an oil lamp.

Usually, the two always came back before dark, and the dinner at home was usually not ready when they came back. But today, Mrs. Gu prepared the meal and put it on the table, but she didn't see Gu Liang and Gu Boxi coming back. She waited and waited, but she didn't see the two until it was dark.

At this time, Mrs. Gu and Chen were panicked, thinking that something had gone wrong with Gu Liang and Gu Boxi on Dahei Mountain, and they were anxious. Old Lady Gu thought that there were only two adults left at home. If something went wrong, how could she explain to the old man and the second son!

Chen was even more anxious. After all, her son Gu Liang was less than eleven years old. If he ran into anything, he would not be able to run away. Immediately, her head was hot, and her blood rushed to her forehead. She put the children to bed. She immediately wrapped a few sticks with cloth and prepared to pour oil on them to make torches, and then went out to look for Gu Liang.

Old Lady Gu grabbed Chen and asked her to calm down. It was dark, there were so many roads to Dahei Mountain, and Dahei Mountain was so big, how could she find them. Comforting Chen, she said: "If you want to find them, you have to wait until tomorrow morning. Then ask the villagers to look for them together in Dahei Mountain, and you will find them."

The two who were waiting for a solution were eagerly waiting at the door. When they really saw Gu Liang and the two alive and well, Old Lady Gu and Chen were a little choked up when they spoke, and kept blaming them for not coming back earlier.

Especially Chen, she choked up and said: "Two days ago, someone in the village went up the mountain to chop wood and said that they heard a tiger roar. So today I thought you two were taken away by a big insect, and I didn't dare to go with my mother.

I'm afraid I'll scare her if I tell her about this."

At this time, Gu Boxi saw that his mother and sister-in-law were in a state of great emotional fluctuation, so he quickly joked, "Sister-in-law, you should tell your mother about the tiger roar you heard two days ago. She will definitely be happy. Don't we always say that when wolves go down the mountain, the grain harvest is halfway; when tigers go down the mountain, the grain harvest will double."

Because there has always been a proverb in the countryside that if wolves are found around the village, it means that this year is a famine year, because wolves are cunning animals and will not run to the vicinity of the village unless they have to. And when tigers go down the mountain, it means that there will be enough rain this year, the grass and trees are lush, and a large number of herbivores can be fed. Its hunting range has expanded to the vicinity of people. Sufficient rain means that the grain harvest will increase and can double.

Although Gu Boxi said this inappropriately, after all, others are worried that you will be eaten by tigers. But this sentence just made Old Lady Gu laugh, making her cry and laugh, and she could only curse softly, saying, "Why did I raise a child like you who is so talkative? I might as well feed you to the tiger! "

However, no matter what Mrs. Gu said, she still felt sorry for them. After several people entered the house, Mrs. Gu quickly brought out the food that had been warmed in the pot and invited Gu Liang and Gu Boxi to eat.

At this time, Chen bolted the door and went into the room to see if the girls had slept well and covered their belly buttons when they slept.

Chen entered the room with an oil lamp. Under the soft light of the oil lamp, three pairs of black eyes were shining. Chen was startled by the three of them and hurriedly asked them why they were still not asleep so late.

Dani rubbed her eyes and asked, "Mom, are my third uncle and brother back? My sister and I are worried about them. We dare not sleep until they come back. "

Mrs. Chen was also somewhat touched. She did not expect that these little ones were so sensible and caring despite their young age. It was not in vain that their brother Gu Liang secretly gave them candies.

After Chen told them the news that Gu Liang and Gu Boxi had returned safely, she hurriedly asked them to go to bed, as it was not easy for children to sleep well too late.

When she returned to the living room, Gu Liang and Gu Boxi were eating dinner with big mouthfuls! When Mrs. Gu saw her coming out, she also invited her to eat with them. Because she was really worried about Gu Liang's safety at night, she could not eat a single bite of food.

But now seeing that her son had returned safely and was eating so deliciously, in order to let Gu Liang and Gu Boxi eat more, she hurriedly told Mrs. Gu that she was not hungry and was about to go to bed, and she could eat tomorrow morning.
