Views:

Shu Huan does not have excessive cleanliness. When the environment does not allow pickiness, she does not think it is unbearable to share a water bladder with others. She is just puzzled. It is a very simple action. When Gu Xiran made it, it was full of ambiguity, making people daydream

She blushed slightly and turned her head away to stop looking at him, but heard him say to Gu Xihe: "Don't drink in such a hurry when you're tired from walking, it's best to drink slowly one sip at a time."

By the way, this is common sense, but she forgot it when she was extremely thirsty, and she didn't expect to be reminded by him.

Gu Xihe was not willing to listen. He wiped his mouth after drinking enough water and said with a smile: "It seems that the second sister-in-law really has the foresight. This burden is considered to be wrong. Otherwise, even if there are streams and springs in the mountains, they may not be able to find them when they are extremely thirsty. See."

late ass

Shu Huan has been carrying this heavy burden alone for an hour, and when he heard him say this, he immediately threw the burden over: "Then you carry it for a while, anyway, you have already drunk the heaviest water."

"I'm just talking, why are you so rude..." Gu Xihe stared at the baggage in his arms, wanting to slap himself in annoyance, making everyone else laugh, only Du Qiu was still a blank slate face, but the eyes are much gentler.

An ancient moment, but equal to fifteen minutes, passed quickly. When he was on the road again, Du Qiu obviously slowed down again, not to take care of Shu Huan, but because Ji Danqing found that there were many herbs on the way, and he had an occupational disease, so he stopped and picked and collected them.

Gu Xiran seemed to be interested in these herbal medicines as well. He followed Ji Danqing and asked them carefully, from the medicinal properties to their effects, but he didn't know if it was affected by genetic factors and living environment. He was still most interested in those herbal medicines. Fragrant flowers and herbs, and asked Ji Danqing if he could find fragrant plants such as Du Heng, Fangzhi, Gracilaria, Qingge and Ziyun here.

Ji Danqing turned his head and looked around, and suddenly pointed to a very inconspicuous grass with green leaves and yellow stems mixed in the grass in the distance, and said: "The one with green leaves is the golden grass, and the one with fine white flowers beside it is Baizhi." , all have fragrance."

Shu Huan didn't feel too tired after such a slow journey, and he still had time to listen to Ji Danqing and enjoy the scenery in the mountains.

Because the climate and environment are different from those of modern times, the mountains here are the real mountains. The vegetation grows like crazy and is extremely luxuriant. When you often walk, you will find that the way you came from is severely blocked by vines, leaves and branches. It is blocked and needs to be cleared to create a road that can accommodate people.

At this time, the dagger she brought came in handy. Of course, if this small dagger was held in her hand, even if she tried her best and spent a whole day, she might not be able to cut a tough vine. But holding it in Du Qiu's hand is different, I saw him grabbing a vine with one hand, and then the dagger twisted and cut so lightly and deftly, the vine broke off.

Where there are lush plants, there are naturally many grass insects, and it is inevitable to be bitten, so mint cream and fennel liquid are also useful, but when they smear these things on their hands and faces, Du Qiu's eyes flashed. He slightly disapproved, probably because he felt that this group of people were too pampered, and he regretted bringing them to the mountain.

No matter what he thought in his heart, he was still very conscientious when clearing the road ahead, and even picked up a long branch and dialed in the grass. There are many snakes in the mountains in summer, so he did this to frighten the snakes. It is better than accidentally stepping on it and being bitten by a snake. They danced all over the sky, and even when they breathed, they might accidentally inhale it into the nasal cavity, which made Gu Xihe scream from time to time, and wrapped his whole head tightly with the cloak worn by Shu Huan. Not too hot.

Occasionally, hares and musk deer are surprised. At this time, Du Qiu will pick up stones and beat them. The musk deer is big and is often stunned. It stops for a while and then runs again. The hare is much smaller. Du Qiufei The stones in the past were fatal to him, unless he missed them, they would fall if he touched them. In less than an hour, they picked up three of them, and when they saw that they were enough to eat, he stopped, even if the hare stepped on them. Followed his instep past, he ignored it.

It made Gu Xihe sigh: "Why didn't you fight? It's a pity"

Gu Xiran sent the hare caught in his hand in front of him: "Are you carrying it?"

Gu Xihe was speechless immediately.

I don’t know if Du Qiu knows how to watch the stars. The day I went out was chosen well. It was a beautiful day with blue sky, but although the sun was scorching, the mountains and forests were cool and cool. The tall trees blocked most of the sun, and only the sun was on the ground. Casting broken and dappled shadows,

Soon Shu Huan found another pleasure, which was picking wild fruits.

Raspberries with dewdrops, wild cherries hanging from the branches, black and purple mulberries, and wild bayberries that can sour one's teeth, anyway, she picks whatever she sees, pockets it in her handkerchief, and eats it as she walks , but he was enjoying himself, but after eating the mulberries, he found that his tongue and fingers were dyed black, which made Gu Xihe laugh for a while.

At noon, Du Qiu found a place with a mountain stream and few plants. He washed and peeled the hare, lit a fire and roasted it. Ji Danqing also picked coriander, wild ginger and perilla for seasoning. Gu Xiran was even more outrageous. A fire was lit under a wild bee nest, and the half-wet branches and leaves were pressed on it, drawing a puff of thick smoke, and the wild bees were smoked away, and then Gu Xihe, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, took a long branch to go to the fire. Poke the hive down.

The roasted rabbit meat is sprinkled with green salt and chopped coriander and ginger. The pancakes and steamed buns that you bring with you are baked hot and then covered with a layer of honey that is thick enough to flow down. The air is full of meat and fresh honey. Sweet and fragrant, such a delicious meal made Shu Huan sigh with satisfaction. It seems that this time it was really not in vain, not to mention the fresh and pleasant scenery along the way, this game meal alone can satisfy her He almost swallowed his own tongue.

At the end of the meal, there was only one hare leg left, and Gu Xihe was fighting for it. Seeing that he was about to grab it, Gu Xiran suddenly asked her a word, which made her startled. Without paying attention, the rabbit leg was grabbed by Gu Xihe. He snatched it away and took a bite.

Shu Huan stared bitterly at the tooth marks on the rabbit's leg and Gu Xihe's smug and hateful smiling face. After holding back, he turned around to look at Gu Xiran and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

Gu Xiran smiled, tore half of the unfinished piece of rabbit meat in his hand and gave it to her, then lowered his eyes and said, "I remember you can draw, right?"

I thought I heard it wrong, but I didn't. But why did he ask this all of a sudden

Shu Huan's eyes widened suddenly, and he even forgot to swallow the bite of rabbit meat he was chewing in his mouth. He stared blankly at him for a while before saying, "Who told you that I can draw?"
