Chapter 821: The Little Wife of Orion (30)

"This road is too difficult to walk, right?"

"Bang—ah—"

As soon as he finished speaking behind him, he heard a cry, and it seemed that

he must have fallen well.

Ji Huai stopped and turned around, seeing that the other party's nose had been

knocked to bleed and his head was covered with withered grass.

"You are so stupid." The black and thin man next to him helped him up and

lightly scolded him.

"Didn't you see the stone? If you scold me again, I'll go back and find it by

yourself!" The man who fell was also very unconvinced, touching his nose and

breathing in pain.

"Eh." The black thin man hurriedly grabbed him and said a few words in a low

voice, "A good promise, but now I regret it again. If I have something in the

future, don't expect me to help you! It won't work if my mother is here!"

The injured man was unhappy, but he didn't leave, and said angrily, "The

mother is pulled out again, so many people can't find it, how can we find it?"

Ji Huai looked at the faces of the two of them, but guessed a bit. It seems

that they are two brothers, the black thin brother, and the slightly thin man

the younger brother, who were pulled over.

"If I helped Young Master Cheng find Zi Tiao, I will arrange for you to get an

errand in the government at that time, that's not it." The black thin man

hadn't finished speaking yet, seeing that Ji Huai had already moved forward,

he hurriedly stopped speaking. "This brother first Don't go, say you can go

into the mountains together, but you can't divide your troops into two, it's

dangerous."

Ji Huai answered lightly: "It's okay, you guys rest first, I'm not tired yet."

"You also came to Zijiao? I know where it is roughly." The thin black man

quickly exited, trying to attract his attention.

Hearing this, Ji Huai really stopped and stood aside waiting for them, his

deep gaze also fell on him, waiting for the following.

"Someone saw it last time, and there was more than one person." The thin black

man lifted up his brother and shared the news he knew one by one. After all,

there was nothing very useful news, but compared to the others, there was

roughly one. direction.

On the mountain behind the thousand-year-old tree in Xilin, a few people have

seen Zijiao appear.

But that thousand-year-old tree

The black thin man supported his younger brother and looked at the mountain

that seemed not far away. The mountain was full of dense trees, and the birds

called one after another, but there was no light purple figure.

Moreover, the road is tortuous and crooked, and I don't know how far to go.

Turning around and looking back, they didn't know how far they had gone, and

the road back was not smooth.

"Are you going to keep going?" Ji Huai asked again.

The two men were panting, but seeing that he hadn't even breathed, they stood

aside and asked them.

"Yes!" The thin black man gritted his teeth and went out.

Ji Huai didn't say much, and continued to move forward.

Without walking hundreds of meters, the two behind them were so scared that

they were almost guilty. Their faces were extremely pale. Watching Ji Huai

move quickly to pinch the black poisonous snake with a branch, he stomped the

snake's head in three or two strokes and threw it on. Before them.

"Venomous snake." The person next to the thin black man was holding his arm,

still in a cold sweat, trying to pull him back, "Brother, don't look for it,

go back, let's go back."

The thin black man swallowed, as if he hadn't recovered yet. He was not very

courageous at first, and he just didn't give up to take a look. He dared to

enter the mountain behind, but it seemed that Ji Huai seemed a little

skillful, and he followed the other party's courage.

He was not favored by Cheng Gongzi recently, and the other party got two rare

birds again, and they found someone to look after him. After being left out in

the cold for a long time, he was anxiously striving for a sigh of relief.

"Do you remember the way back?" the black thin man asked in a low voice.

"Don't I remember? Brother, you didn't make a mark?" The other party was also

blindfolded.

Black and thin man: ""

He marked a section of the road, patronized the person in front of him,

relaxed his vigilance, so he forgot.

"Then how do we go back?" The speaker looked at the black and thin man, and

his words trembled.

The black thin man's eyes flashed, he swallowed, and when he looked at Ji Huai

he thoughtfully said, "This brother, shall we go back? This is only half way

so dangerous. If you go inside, I don’t know. What do you encounter...

Besides, you may not be able to see Zi Tiao, and you may not be able to catch

it if you see it."

"Then what are you doing here?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows and asked.

The two choked.

It's hard to catch it if you know it, but the temptation is great. What if you

can catch it again if you see it? What if you find its nest? What if you are

out of ** luck? What if the ancestors have smoked?

"I'm still going to find it, you can go back." Ji Huai said and continued to

move forward.

"Eh." The black thin man stepped forward to grab his hand. Seeing Ji Huai

raising his hand and making a defensive movement, he also hurriedly stopped

the movement and continued to persuade him, "It's really hard to find, if it's

easy to find, Everyone has found it, so many people have come to find it, and

even very few people have seen it."

"Then I have to look even more." Ji Huai's expression did not change, but he

did not hesitate to say it, and he became more interested.

The black and thin man couldn't say anything, he became more anxious, and

finally got nowhere, gritted his teeth and said, "We don't know the way back!"

If you go the wrong way and can't go out even after dark, isn't it waiting to

die? When you encounter a snake or a beast, it will be a Chinese meal.

"I made the mark, and just follow the mark." Ji Huai pointed to a nearby

place. The grass at the fork in the road was turned in a direction, and it

seemed obvious.

After he finished speaking, he raised his leg and walked forward.

Seeing that there was a mark, the black and thin men didn't hesitate, just

want to get out of the mountain quickly.

The three divided into two roads, and Jihuai continued to go straight into the

mountains.

After crossing the mountain and the thousand-year-old tree in front, he

arrived at the place where he saw Ziqiu in the rumors. He was observing

whether there were any black mulberry trees along the way.

This month, the black mulberry fruit is just ripe.

From entering the mountain to the present, he hasn't found black mulberry

trees, but if there is any in this area, he has to look again.

The black mulberry tree is quite easy to recognize. This tree is not the same

as other trees. It has lush branches, but the fruit is few and not tall, but

the leaves are red, which is particularly conspicuous.

As he expected, there are two in the middle of the mountain, and there are

quite a few fruits on them. There are obvious traces of pecking, and it is

definitely not picked by humans.

Ji Huai had been walking the mountain road for so long, and he was really a

bit dry. He climbed up to the tree and picked up black mulberry to eat, and

looked around by the way.

The black mulberry population was a bit astringent, but it was very sweet

afterwards. After he finished eating, he picked some and prepared to take it

back to Tang Xiu'er to eat. This thing is considered well-established, so he

can pick more.

The fruit is small and looks unremarkable, but the fruit has a very unique

fragrance, very rich, but not pungent.

Ji Huai climbed flexibly on the tree, putting the picked fruit in his pocket.

After putting in half a pocket, his hands suddenly stopped, his eyes fell to

one place, and his ears moved.

This bird call is different from other bird calls and is very similar to the

voice two years ago.

I stared at it for a while, and as expected, I saw the purple figure on the

opposite tree. Even if it hides in the dense woods and its feathers are too

gorgeous, Ji Huai can still recognize it at a glance.

He quietly got down the tree and hid in the jungle.

After a while, the bird flew out, light purple feathers, red claws, and

colorful tail. It was the bird that everyone wanted to catch recently.

Its flexible small eyes turned around, observed the surroundings, and quickly

flew to the black mulberry tree, began to peck with its pointed mouth, eating

one after another.

After eating a few more, it took a few more, and then flew to the side.

Ji Huai walked out, watching the direction it was flying, and quickly followed

it to the side. His eyes were sharp, locked in a position, and quickly went

over to look.

The nest it builds is not high, but it is very secretive and not easy to find.

After the male bird put down the black mulberry, he turned around and flew

over to pick it. This shows that there must be young birds in the nest waiting

to be fed.

Ji Huai observed for another half an hour and saw that there was still a

female bird in the nest. However, the gap between the female and the male bird

was too large, and the size was much smaller than the male bird. Secondly, the

feathers were not so gorgeous, and the overall color was much inferior.

After inquiring, he was not in a hurry to catch, but turned and went down the

mountain.

The sun has already tilted, and the pace must be quickened.

When he walked halfway, he found two people in front of him. The younger

brother of the thin black man was sitting on the ground and wailing. The thin

black man tried to carry him on his back and walked down the mountain, but he

could not walk a few steps.

The other party was in terrible pain, so he couldn't stay at all, and he

couldn't wait to roll all over.

Seeing Ji Huai's return, the black and thin man seemed to have seen the life-

saving straw, and hurriedly said, "My brother was bitten by a poisonous

centipede, can you do anything? What should I do?"

Ji Huai walked over and saw that the other party's feet were already very

swollen, and they were howling desperately, the pain was worse than death.

"Shall we hurry down the mountain?" The black thin man asked Ji Huai to carry

his brother down the mountain with him, and promised, "There must be a thank

you at that time, and I hope my brother can help."

Ji Huai did not reply, but looked around and locked a bush. Its branchlets are

brown, the leaves are multi-shaped, the leaf surface is dark green, and the

leaf back is pink green.

He walked over, picked up a stone on the ground, and scratched the tree's

surface. The thick white sap came out. He picked it up with a branch, walked

back, and said to the thin black man, "Hold him."

"Okay." The black thin man didn't think too much, after listening to his

words, he directly pressed the people on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, screams came out, and the birds in the jungle flew

away a lot.

The black and thin man looked at Ji Huai without any mercy. He took the white

juice and applied it to the injured leg of the opponent. That's all, Ji Huai

began to rub it vigorously, and he fainted with pain abruptly.

He felt pain just by looking at it.

"Cimu juice can detoxify the centipede, and it will reduce the swelling in a

while." Ji Huai said.

"Thank you." The black thin man was extremely grateful, gritted his teeth and

strenuously carried his brother on his back, and went down the mountain with

Ji Huai.

At the foot of the mountain, the night became even darker, and the person

behind woke up leisurely, and no longer wailed. Looking at the leg, the

swelling was reduced a lot, and the hot sensation eased the pain.

Ji Huai glanced at his leg and didn't say anything. The black and thin man

walked up to him and said seriously, "I will repay you if I have a chance in

the future. I will take a job in Chengfu. If you have something to do in the

future, or catch it. When you get to Zi Tiao, you can find me. Although I'm

not a celebrity next to Mr. Cheng, I can also get the line and just talk to

the sunspot."

Hearing this, Ji Huai nodded, "Thank you first."

"We thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do. By the

way, did you find anything in the mountains?" Heizi asked again.

Ji Huai shook his head.

Heizi looked disappointed and relieved him, "Zichuo's trail is hard to find,

and the mountains are also dangerous. You don't have to ask for it if you

can't find it. If you catch other rare birds, I can also help you ask for a

good price in front of Mr. Cheng. ."

Ji Huai didn't refuse, but agreed.

The two brothers Heizi walked slowly, Ji Huai wanted to hurry home, and there

was no danger on the road, so they left separately.

After Ji Huai returned to the city, he went and sold the poisonous snake

before returning home.

When he got home, it was getting darker, and the shops on the street lighted

lanterns, and he knocked on the door lightly.

"Who?" A female voice came from inside, still cautious.

Ji Huai: "It's me."

Hearing that it was his voice, the people inside accelerated their pace.

"Go slowly."

As soon as he reminded, the people inside were slowing down again.

The door opened, and she appeared in front of him, with aggrieved and anxious

expression in her expression, like a little woman, "Why are you coming back

now? Why do you want to work so late?"

"Miscellaneous work." In order not to worry her, he didn't say much, put his

hand on her shoulder, walked in together, handed her the twenty copper plates

that had bought the poisonous snake, and then turned to close the door and

said, "belly I'm hungry, what can I eat?"

"Waiting for you to eat." She didn't have much doubt, and carefully put away

the copper plates, and took him to the kitchen.

She cooked rice, fried bacon, made spicy tofu, and cooked vegetable soup.

Ji Huai consumed a lot of energy today, and ate half a bowl of rice in twos or

twos, urging Tang Xiu'er to eat more, and when she was full, he ate all the

rest.

Tang Xiu'er boiled water and wanted him to bathe. Ji Huai took out a large

handful of black mulberry fruits from his pocket and put them in the basket.

"Eat more when you just picked it. It won't be so delicious tomorrow."

She glanced, her eyes raised, "How come there is this fruit?"

He had also picked this fruit before, because it was sweet and delicious, and

she was very impressed. At that time, Ji’s family had not yet been separated,

and Ji’s mother was still there. Most of the fruit was distributed to Brother

Ji and Brother Ji’s family, but she was divided into a few.

It was delicious, so she remembered it for a long time.

"I just picked it up when I was passing by." He didn't say much, and took the

clothes to take a shower.

Tang Xiu'er washed more than 20 tablets and put them in a small bowl. During

the period, she couldn't help but taste one. It's really sweet, as sweet as

the one I had a long time ago.

When she returned to the house, she ate a few of them. Seeing that Ji Huai had

just put on her shirt, she picked up one to feed him.

"Just eat it." He tilted his head slightly.

"Eat one." She insisted on feeding him, but Ji Huai couldn't help but ate it

with her mouth open.

"Is it very sweet?" she asked.

"Sweet." Ji Huai took a bite twice, and then said, looking at her standing in

front of him with his head up and looking at him, he naturally lowered his

head, kissed her red lips, and kissed her like a dragonfly.

Tang Xiu'er was too embarrassed in the future, he turned around and walked to

the bed, ready to fall asleep.

The tips of her ears were hot, she laughed more openly, and put a black

mulberry fruit in her mouth, and the sweetness in her mouth was in her heart.
