Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 271 I'm Not Going Tomorrow!
"hiss……"

When Lu Lu reached out to touch those blades of grass, suddenly, something struck from among the dead branches and weeds. Fortunately, the blades of grass that Lu Lu fiddled with blocked it and did not touch Lu Lu.

This sudden appearance also startled Lu Lu, and instinctively jumped to the side.

He stared at the dead branches and weeds for a while, but there was no sound, but there was clearly something just now.

After a little hesitation, Lu Lu broke a branch from the nearby tree, picked off the branches and leaves, and then walked carefully to the side of the dead branches, grass and vines, gently pushed the grass leaves away again, and saw What is entrenched is a soil ball snake.

"Money String!"

Lu Lu said something in a low voice, tilted his head to look into the gaps in the grass blades, and immediately laughed: "It really is money strings."

"Qian Chuanzi" is a term used by mountain hunters for the sake of auspiciousness when they encounter snakes, and now Lu Lu thinks it makes sense.

He saw through the gaps in the grass blades that next to this soil ball snake, at the top of a single stalk, there was a small group of dozens of red particles, smaller than soybeans, forming a cluster. is gratifying.

It really is a mallet!
This is money!

The leaves and petioles of this mallet tree were buried under the cover of dead branches and bark piled up on the dead tree. Only a few leaves were exposed, and there were not many petioles, but it was definitely a big mallet.

Lu Lu roughly estimated that it was at least a fourth-grade leaf, and it was also a big deal.

"I often hear people say that poisonous substances can often be seen waiting next to the mallet. This is true!"

Lu Lu didn't expect that the first time he encountered a wild club in his life, it was in such an accidental situation that he spent more than half a month in his previous life looking for something that he couldn't find...

Almost got bitten by a snake!

There are often strings of money guarding the club next to it, and this matter is said to be quite mysterious.

Fangshan people believe that sticks are spiritual, so they don't call them ginseng directly. They think that once someone says the word ginseng, it will immediately go out of the ground without leaving any traces, which is just as mysterious.

Regarding the fact that there is a string of money next to the mallet to guard it, Lu Lu has really listened to someone analyze it carefully.

It probably means that the growth environment of the stick is relatively dark, warm and less direct sunlight, which is also the place where Qian Chuanzi likes to stay;
Furthermore, the mallet blooms in summer, and after the ginseng seeds it bears turn red, it is very attractive to small animals such as mice, squirrels, and birds.

Staying in such a place, Qian Chuanzi can easily catch prey.

The older the mallet, the bigger the ginseng seeds produced by the mallet, which also makes more and more strings of money entangled next to the big mallet.

It all makes sense.

As for whether this is the case, Lu Lu didn't want to go into details.

When this happened today, whether it was because of the spirituality of the mallet or other reasons, he believed it, because it meant a lot of money.

This soil ball snake is a standard poisonous snake.

Tuqiuzi snake, whose scientific name is Wusuli Viper, is usually called Grass Fly and Qicunzi. The most commonly heard name is Tuqiuzi snake, which is a unique poisonous snake in the Changbai Mountains and Xiaoxing'an Mountains.

Probably because of the dark brown markings on its body that look like mud, it is extremely concealable, and it likes to curl up into a ball, which looks like a ball of soil, so it has the name of the soil ball snake.

These are ferocious snakes that prey on other small snakes.

Lu Lu has seen that some people use this kind of soil ball snake to make medicinal wine.

I have also heard an example of someone soaking this kind of snake in medicinal wine for more than a year, opening the bottle of medicinal wine, and being bitten by the soaked earthball snake alive.

However, this is not important to Lu Lu, what is important is that it is guarding a stick.

The fact that I was almost bitten by a snake just now also proved the importance of the rope poking stick from the side. If I have a rope poking stick in my hand and use it to poke the grass blades, it can completely prevent such a situation from happening.

In this deep mountain and old forest, if he was really bitten, it would be really hard to say what happened after that.

Generally speaking, the poison of the soil ball snake is not very poisonous, but the string of money curled up next to the mallet is more than one meter long.

Toxic money strings, the longer the age, the stronger the toxicity, and there are many uncertain factors.There are also cases of death from the bite of the soil ball snake.

This also made Lu Lu secretly sigh at his good luck just now.

He didn't continue to move the mallet, and called the five hunting dogs who were going to bite the earthball snake to the side, and kept them from approaching. It would be bad if the mallet was broken.

Fangshanren met Qian Chuanzi on the mountain, even if he was bitten, he would not touch the Qian Chuanzi, but gave way to Qian Chuanzi and let him leave on his own.

Now that the sky has darkened, except for the semi-automatic and the invasion knife that I carry with me, I have no tools to play with, so I can only wait for tomorrow.

After dawn, the light is good, and it is easy to operate after making some tools, so as not to damage the mallet and vent the essence inside.

Apart from other things, the prices of damaged and intact mallets of the same grade are completely different, which requires considerable attention.

Not even a very thin root.

He picked off the two Hericium erinaceus from the dead tree, and led Yuan Bao and the others back to the tent.

From a distance, Lu Lu saw Chen Xiuqing looking around with a serious expression.

Chen Xiuqing's expression became relaxed after seeing Lu Lu's return: "Brother Lu, it's getting dark today, why did it take me so long to come back, if you don't come back, I'm going to find you."

Lu Lu smiled at him.

Knowing that you will be anxious when you can't see people, this is a rare concern.

"It's okay... I saw a few Hericium erinaceus, and I became interested for a while, so I searched for a while."

Lu Lu waved at him the mushrooms strung together with grass stalks, and then walked towards the small river not far down the slope.

Chen Xiuqing also hurriedly followed, helped wash the mushrooms by the river, and took them back to make soup.

After a meal, the two got into the tent, closed their clothes and lay down, with the gun standing beside them.

There are Yuanbao and the others guarding the tent door. In this deep mountain, there is an extra layer of security, so that both of them can rest in peace.

"Qingzi, how do you feel now after riding for three days?" Lu Lu asked.

"I'm fine, my body is not so sore anymore, and the swelling on my legs is much better." Chen Xiuqing said with a smile: "I now understand what a good horse is. Look at Zhuifeng, and I will follow behind. See how it runs so smoothly, doesn't shake much, and is so obedient...and the price is the same as mine, I'm envious!"

"Okay, this kind of horse is not easy to come across, why do you think so much... Be careful at night, this is deep in the mountains!" Lu Lu reminded.

"Brother Lu, why don't I get up and watch the night, keep the fire on at any time, and dare not approach any wild animals easily."

Chen Xiuqing sat up and spoke proactively.

"No need, there is no need to burn them with ingots. For some wild animals, they are more afraid of fire, but for some wild animals, it means that where there is fire, there are people...

In short, burning a fire is not necessarily all good.If everything is normal tonight, you can sleep a little longer tomorrow morning to recharge your spirits, we won't leave tomorrow, we'll be here. "

After Lu Lu finished speaking, he got up and blew out the burning Mingzi.

Ming Zi's lighting is a good thing, but there are also a lot of black soot flying out with the flames, which are crackling. Lu Lu began to think about getting a few flashlights, which are also convenient for lighting in the mountains. It's time to hang it on the top.

"Why don't you leave tomorrow?"

Even though he was about to catch up with Zhao Tuanqing, he stopped instead. Chen Xiuqing was a little confused.

"Here, we have something else to do tomorrow, so go to sleep!"

After Lu Lu finished speaking, he turned over and lay on his side, and stopped talking.

He was worried that if he told Chen Xiuqing that he found the mallet, this guy would not be able to sleep all night.

Even he himself was restraining his inner excitement.

Soon, Lu Lu realized that what he thought was right. Chen Xiuqing fell asleep soundly after a while, but it was himself who was still thinking about the big club he found in his head, and was always in a very excited state. state.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, it was already daylight, and Chen Xiuqing was cooking millet rice, and some mushrooms were inserted with thin sticks by the fire, and they were grilled and eaten by the fire.

Mushrooms, when baked by the fire, are easily softened by water, and a little sprinkle of salt can become a very delicious thing.

Seeing Lu Lu coming out of the tent, Chen Xiuqing quickly got up, and smiled at Lu Lu: "Brother Lu is awake..." As he spoke, he handed over a bunch of roasted mushrooms.

Lu Lu was also polite, took it and ate while walking towards the small river with a gun in his hand.

In the mountains, the gun is kept within reach at any time, so that it is easy to pick it up to deal with emergencies.

Lu Lu has been hinting in his heart that he should do this, and now it has gradually become a habit.

When he got to the river, he had already eaten a bunch of delicious mushrooms. He scanned his surroundings, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he leaned the semi-automatically against a birch tree next to him, squatted by the river to wash his face, and took some in his mouth by the way. , I didn’t bring a toothbrush, so I could only wipe my teeth with my fingers.

After washing, Lu Lu felt much more awake.

Afterwards, he wandered around for a while, and found a dead walnut tree branch that had been cut off by someone. After repairing it with a knife, he took it back to the grass beside the tent and sat there, using the knife to make a tool for carrying a mallet.

There is no such thing as a set of good tools for carrying a mallet, so I can only use wood to imitate sticks.

There is only one purpose, to lift the mallet out as intact as possible.

Chen Xiuqing was busy cooking on the sidelines. The logistical work in the past two days has been done very well. No matter how sore her body was, she never complained. This saved Lu Lv a lot of energy.

Seeing Lu Lu cutting wood with a knife, he came over curiously: "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"

"I'll sharpen some gadgets. Qingzi, did you have a dream last night?"

Last night, the club went through Lu Lu's mind many times, and he had no less guesses in his mind. The biggest advantage is that his mood has finally stabilized.

"I... I was dreaming!" Chen Xiuqing's face turned red all of a sudden.

Seeing him like that, Lu Lu couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that there was no need for him to ask further questions.

This guy is most likely dreaming of swallows again.

It’s really thinking day by day, dreaming day by day!
Lu Lu just asked according to some of the rules of joining the gang that he knew.

The members of the gang go up to the mountain to look for sticks. Every morning, the old man will ask the elders what dreams they have, just to see if there is any good omen from their dreams.

Based on Chen Xiuqing's dream method, it might not be a good omen, so it's better not to mention it.

He shook his head and sighed: "Continue cooking, after dinner, I will take you to carry the mallet."

"The mallet?" Chen Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, and then happily asked, "Brother Lu, did you see the mallet?"

He suddenly understood why Lu Lvhui, who had been in a hurry to find Zhao Tuanqing, said that he would not leave today.

"I went out and saw one last night!" Lu Lu laughed.

"How many leaves?" Chen Xiuqing asked.

Lu Lu shook his head: "I haven't touched it before, and I haven't determined the exact number of leaves, at least four leaves. Don't get too excited, lifting a mallet is delicate work, and it can't be sloppy."

When Lu Lu said this, he began to think about those auspicious omens again.

The ginseng gang goes up the mountain to search for ginseng. There is a strict selection of the number of people. They are all odd numbers. In addition to the sticks they carry, they become even numbers, which is a sign that good things will come in pairs.

But now, he and Chen Xiuqing are two people, plus the club, according to that, it's not a good omen.

When thinking of these, Lu Lu slightly shook his head.

He can't believe in these rules, but he thinks he should.

In any case, these rules are for a beautiful vision.

I don't know why, but when he thought of this, he really felt flustered.

Just hope nothing happens next.

　Thank you book friend Feng Yuan for your reward!
