018 Go up the Mountain

Gu Xiaowan clicked her tongue. In the future, there must be a house with a single house, a high-walled compound, and a big iron lock at the door, so that you can rest assured.

Alas, Gu Xiaowan looked at the dilapidated home from the outside, and then looked at the worried eyes of Gu Ningping and Gu Xiaowan who were still looking at them at the gate of the courtyard, Gu Xiaowan felt numb, sore and painful. He waved his hands vigorously towards his two younger siblings, and then turned around and walked towards the mountains in worry.

The village where Gu Xiaowan lives is called Wuxi Village. It is a small mountain village with only forty households. The people in the village are all kind, except for Gu Xiaowan's cousin named Gu Xintao.

The houses in Wuxi Village are the same as the modern houses in the 1930s and 1940s. The good ones are made of wood and bricks. The living conditions are not very good, and they are made of mud. No matter what kind of house it is, Gu Xiaowan doesn't seem to like it very much. Such a house is too unsafe.

This village has a small population, and there are some rich people who either moved to the town early, or stayed far away from these poor people.

Because this village was first escaped by an ancestor named Wu who came here, and built it, there is a small stream passing through the village. Later, over time, everyone in this village is called Wuxi Village.

To the north of Wuxi Village is Jiuling Mountain, thousands of meters above sea level. Thousand-year-old trees towering into the clouds, strange mountains and mountains with creeks and waterfalls, countless wild game, dense swamps, and groups of wild beasts have created the mysterious legend of Jiuling Mountain.

According to Gu Ning'an's introduction, there used to be a few courageous and skilled people in the village who had gone to the deep mountains to hunt for treasures. Unfortunately, the treasures were not found, but their lives were taken in. There really was no return.

Over time, the deep mountains of Jiuling Mountain are inaccessible all the year round, and the villagers of Wuxi Village only dare to move in the shallow mountains. Gu Xiaowan guessed that those who went in to hunt for treasure either encountered poisonous snakes and beasts, or fell into the swamp.

Gu Xiaowan and the two entered the mountain along a path. Xu is a lot of people going up the mountain, there is a road out, the trees on both sides of the road are almost completely cut down. This mountain is the mountain of everyone in Wuxi Village, and everything in it belongs to everyone in Wuxi Village.

Whoever picks it up belongs to whoever is advanced and whoever lags behind.

Gu Xiaowan walked and watched along the trail. The trees on both sides are not very dense, probably because the villagers cut it down. This is the edge of the forest. Anyone who builds a house in Wuxi Village will cut down nearby.

Gu Xiaowan looked around and found that the ground was almost all dry grass. Looking up, the towering branches, the branches and the rattan are intertwined with each other at a high place, like the large webs formed by spiders, one after another, and it is also very similar to the dark green seabed. In the first month, the sun at eight or nine o'clock was still very weak, and the stars slanted down through the gaps between the branches, casting a layer of gorgeous swaying light on the ground.

The cold wind raged in the forest and made a harsh sound. If it was alone, it would feel a little eerie.

The withered yellow leaves that had fallen to the ground were swept up by the raging cold wind at first glance, like a small tornado, whirling through the forest.

Although Gu Xiaowan's cotton-padded coat looked thick and bloated, but because of the time, the cotton inside became a lump, and the cold wind had penetrated her cotton-padded coat long ago.

A gust of cold wind blew, blowing straight into Gu Xiaowan's neck, trembling and freezing, even the cracks in the bones were aching. The already red and swollen hands became stiffer from the cold, and they could barely hold the axe.

Gu Ning'an next to him was not much better than Gu Xiaowan, his face turned pale.

Gu Xiaowan looked at Gu Ning'an, who was cold and stiff next to her, thinking to herself that this would not work, don't find something to eat, the two of them were frozen here first.

Gu Xiaowan gritted her teeth and stomped her feet vigorously: "Ning An, it shouldn't be cold if you jump twice."

Then Gu Ning'an and Gu Xiaowan jumped on the spot a few times, and the two of them felt a little warmer.

At this moment, Gu Xiaowan has experience in agricultural work in the previous life, and this Gu Xiaowan also has experience in chopping wood and doing housework. Moreover, maybe Gu Xiaowan often came to this forest in the past, and she was familiar with the way. When Gu Xiaowan arrived here, apart from being a little cold, she didn't feel any fear at all, not to mention a calm Gu Ning'an by her side.

Asayama has nothing left. I couldn't find anything. Gu Xiaowan knew very well that as soon as the villagers entered the mountain, they had to pass through the shallow mountain. If there was anything good, the village names would dig it out.

Then the two walked forward again, and the more they went inside, the more abundant the tree species inside.

There are long green coniferous tree species such as masson pine, yellow mountain pine, Chinese pine, Chinese fir, cedar, cedar, and also deciduous tree species such as metasequoia, pond fir, larch, golden pine, larch, and red cedar, as well as saponin, poplar Trees, willows, locust trees, peach trees, apricot trees, chestnut trees, plum trees, plum trees and other deciduous broad-leaved tree species, as well as some evergreen broad-leaved tree species, camphor, ficus, magnolia, wood lotus, citrus, grapefruit tree and so on.

Gu Xiaowan walked and watched, there are quite a lot of fruit trees on the mountain, if you come earlier in the summer, it is estimated that a lot of fruit trees will be picked. However, there are so many people in the village, and it is impossible for me to keep picking here day and night. It is estimated that it can only be a corner, and I can't hold too much hope. Gu Xiaowan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She wanted to say that she could still eat some fruit, but it seemed that this plan had failed.

The two of them could only move forward without stopping. The surrounding trees are getting denser and denser, and the dense towering ancient trees above the head have blocked the sun and only exposed one or two rays of light. The forest is dense and there is no way.

A small stream appeared in front of him, Gu Ning'an took a deep breath and looked around nervously.

, and then grabbed Gu Xiaowan: "Sister, let's not go inside, after this small river ditch, there is a deep mountain, and there are often beasts. Let's go back!"

Gu Xiaowan sighed, the axe in her hand hadn't been opened yet! I also hope to meet a wild pheasant or wild rabbit, and let my younger brothers and sisters open meat!
