Chapter 39 Purple Gourd (1)

The autumn with flowers and trees withering, without the vitality of spring, the excitement of summer, and the silence of winter, is just a bleak thing.

The bleak sky, the bleak earth, the bleak mountains.

The ground was covered with yellow leaves. If you step on it, you can hear rustling sounds. In this quiet and deserted forest, this sound sounds creepy.

When he arrived on the mountain, Cai Hongming took a hatchet from the wooden house, walked into the woods with a faded white canvas backpack and walked into the woods with fallen leaves. The shell had transformed into a crystal-colored scorpion and placed it on his shoulder. The guy lay there with his tail upright, looking around, making people feel like a satellite pot searching for signals, which was very funny.

The Qilianyu he saw before was still behind the sweet potato field, which was deep in the remnant of the Qilian Mountains, so he had to walk inside.

It's getting colder day by day. Yesterday's weather forecast said that if there is cold air coming, it will probably be the first snow of the year in a while. It will be even colder when it snows. His barbecue stall will also be closed, and he will go home. In this place, if it weren't for the heating at home, he wouldn't be able to stand it.

It’s nothing to be cold in winter. After winter, the ice and snow melt, and the weather is dry for a while, and then sandstorms come, which is really deadly.

The yellow sand flying all over the sky was nowhere to be seen within fifty meters. The sand and dust drilled into your mouth with your breath, making you almost suffocate. No one would have thought about experiencing that feeling.

One year he spent the winter here. It was nothing cold in winter. He didn't dare to resemble the scene in spring. In those months, he stayed at home almost every day, didn't dare to go out, and his butt was almost hairy. From then on, he never stayed here again in winter.

The weather became colder, and the creatures in the forest gradually became dormant. Along the way, Cai Hongming didn't even see a fly.

The more you go, the denser the forests are. This place is far away from a place with people, and fewer people come. So even if it is not within the reserve, the ecology is very good.

Suddenly, Cai Hongming, with sharp eyes, saw a few pears growing sparsely on a hillside in the distance, and some ripe pears were hanging on the trees. He hurried over. This was a wild variety, sweet and juicy. Although it was a little small, it was much better than what was sold on the market.

Cai Hongming climbed up the tree to pick pears with great enthusiasm. After waiting on the tree, he found that in the distance, the pears that looked yellow and orange had either been pecked by birds or eaten by insects, and few of them had good looks.

But he was better than nothing, so he picked some better ones and ate them. It is said that the sweetest things birds have ever eaten, and it is true. The pear is sweet and refreshing to eat.

Speaking of which, there are a lot of wild fruits on the mountain, including small nuts, hazelnuts, and bitter and sour wild apples. This wild apple is hard to taste. The best way is to make dried fruit or jam or use it as apple cider vinegar. However, it takes a lot of effort to make apple cider vinegar, so he is too lazy to make it; and making jam and dried fruit is a waste of sugar, so it is better to buy it on the market to eat it.

After walking in for a while, he came to the foot of a mountain.

The mountains stand majestic, and under his feet is a seasonal river channel hit by mountain torrents. There are a pile of round and flat stones in the river channel. He discovered Qilianyu here at that time.

So he started looking in the river.

After searching for a while, he didn't find Qi Lianyu he was looking for. He couldn't help but wonder, remembering that it was clearly the right location. However, when it was rainy, the rainwater on the mountain flowed down and formed a mountain torrent and impacted down, and it might not be washed away by the water flow, so he re-estimated the location and started looking for it.

After searching for a while, he still couldn't find it. He was so tired that he found a place to rest.

The woods at this time are undoubtedly the most beautiful moment of the year. The colorful leaves in the woods on both sides of the river dress up a valley dazzlingly, making people fascinated.

The beautiful scenery is not to be missed. Cai Hongming looked up. Suddenly, he saw a lump of green growing under the cliff opposite the mountain. Now the temperature has dropped, the grass and trees are haggard and withered, turning yellow and white. I didn't expect that anything else could grow so green. Cai Hongming felt very incredible, so he stood up and walked over there, wanting to see what it was, which could maintain its color in this cold weather.

It is said to be opposite, but there is actually a distance, because there is a U-shaped river channel between the two mountains.

After walking for a while, when I arrived at the place, Cai Hongming found that the lush green pinch turned out to be leaves on the wild gourd, and there were several purple gourds hanging on the wild gourd.

He had seen green gourds, white gourds, and yellow gourds, but he had never seen purple gourds. It felt interesting, so he reached out to touch the gourds.

At this time, a sudden change broke out, and a black shadow suddenly shot out from the wild gourd vine. Cai Hongming subconsciously flashed aside. The black shadow fell to the ground. Cai Hongming looked closely and found that it was a plateau viper. Tzu, why did this thing run out without hibernation in such a cold day?

This kind of snake is also called the seven-step snake, which means it falls after being bitten seven steps. It is a very poisonous plateau snake.

The seven-step snake fell to the ground, and its body was slightly raised, its mouth was spitting out, and its cold eyes were staring at Cai Hongming tightly.

Cai Hongming swallowed secretly, with only a hatchet in his hand, which was too short and would not hit the snake. He didn't dare to grab this poisonous snake with his hands. If it was bitten, it would be over. He looked around and wondered if he would cut a stick in the woods in front and turned it over.

At this moment, the crystal scorpion that had been quietly lying on his shoulder moved,

The crystal scorpion quickly climbed down from him and crawled towards the seven-step snake.

When the Seven-Step Snake saw that the crystal scorpion, whose body had grown to ten centimeters, came over and became alert and kept spitting out a letter to warn it to leave.

The crystal scorpion continued to crawl forward despite the warning of the Seven-Primary Snake. The Seven-Primary Snake stared at it tightly. Suddenly, its body moved and suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit it at the Seven-Primary Scorpion. The crystal scorpion was not willing to be outdone. Suddenly, it crawled a few steps aside. The tail needle that had been raised had moved and stabbed forward, just stabbing the head biting by the Seven-Primary Snake. The solid head was instantly stabbed into a hole, and it could not die again.

The seven-step snake was stabbed to death, and the crystal scorpion dragged its corpse to Cai Hongming, shaking its tail needle to seek credit.

Cai Hongming didn't expect that the crystal scorpion was so sharp, which blinded him. It seemed that he would take it with him when he entered the forest in the future. It was simply a powerful weapon for insects and snakes to prevent insects and snakes. Fortunately, this guy has treated him as his master after a period of time, otherwise he would have to be careful whether this guy would give him a shot when he was sleeping.

After touching the crystal scorpion's head and comforting it, Cai Hongming went to cut off a branch and checked the wild gourd to see if there were any snakes and cats inside the leaves.

The crystal scorpion looked at him and dragged the seven-step snake to eat it next to him.
