My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Chapter 168 Thanks from the Mountain Walker
Zhang Hao comforted Li Siyu in a low voice for a while, and after making sure that Li Siyu was not frightened anymore, he helped Li Siyu onto the deer's back.

Looking up at the sky, the sky has already darkened, and even the last twilight has disappeared.

If he continued to stay in the mountains, Zhang Hao would be fine, and Li Siyu might not be used to it.

It's better to take advantage of this time to go down the mountain and go home to have a good rest.

However, before going down the mountain, he still wanted to follow the traces left by the "suspicious mountain treasure" and search for it. No matter what he said, he let Shanbao run away last time. left a mark.

And it may be directly related to Li Siyu's loss. How could he let go of that mountain treasure so easily? If there is an opportunity, he will definitely seize the opportunity and try his best to catch that suspicious mountain treasure.

Even if he can't catch the mountain treasure this time, as long as he can see what the mountain treasure is, at least he can know what it is.

Think about this.

Zhang Hao led the deer and Xiaobai, sometimes looked down at the traces under his feet, and sometimes raised his head to look at the road ahead.

The mountains and forests are already pitch black. For ordinary people like Li Siyu, the visibility is only less than 5 meters. dark.

And in those darkness, it seems that there is some kind of monster that can devour everything, which is extraordinarily cold and terrifying.

For Zhang Hao, a mountain walker, his visibility far exceeds that of ordinary people. He can see a distance of nearly 10 meters, which is about half the distance he travels during the day.

Of course, due to the obstruction of sight at night, it is easy to fatigue the eyes when looking far away.

However, it is relatively easy for Zhang Hao to follow the traces left by Shanbao and move forward all the way.

"Are we going down the mountain now?" Li Siyu asked softly, sitting on the deer's back.

Zhang Hao nodded: "On the way down the mountain, I was just looking for something, a more important thing."

Li Siyu pursed his lips, but did not press on.

Because she thought of what Gu Shu said before, Zhang Hao was entangled by something at that time, and there was no way to find him immediately.

Come to think of it, the thing that entangles Zhang Hao is what Zhang Hao is looking for, right?
Li Siyu stopped talking, and just sat silently on the back of the deer, letting Zhang Hao lead the deer forward in the dark forest.

Now, she was no longer afraid, and she didn't think about it anymore. Instead, she felt very happy.

Because, this time, she will not be separated from Zhang Hao, and it is enough to go down the mountain and go home together.

Even staying in the mountains for a while, she can accept it, the worst is to wait for Zhang Hao to go down the mountain and go home after finishing his work.

Zhang Hao spent the whole day today helping himself to find the things he needed, but he didn't do his own things. Li Siyu still remembered that he said before he entered the mountain that he had something to do when he entered the mountain.

Now that her work is done, it is reasonable for Zhang Hao to be busy with his own affairs.

Zhang Hao didn't notice Li Siyu's change of mind, but put all his attention on the long and narrow mark.

Following this mark, he walked all the way through the wild fruit forest, bypassed the weed forest, and finally came to a relatively narrow path all the way.

Zhang Hao didn't change the route, but recognized that this road is also a road that can lead down the mountain, it's just a detour, it doesn't matter.

Along the quiet and dark path, which seemed to be full of terrifying and unknown existence everywhere, Zhang Hao led the deer and continued to walk forward. The road became wider and wider, and the trees on both sides gradually dispersed and separated.

Seeing this, Li Siyu couldn't help being startled, she felt that the scene in front of her seemed familiar, like...the road she walked when the ancient tree pointed the way.

It was also very narrow at first, and then gradually widened.

However, what she can be sure of is that this road must not be the one she walked on, because these are completely opposite directions, no matter how much she walks, it is impossible to turn around and walk.

However, what is this inexplicable sense of familiarity?

Li Siyu bowed slightly, and whispered in Zhang Hao's ear, "I feel that this place...seems familiar."

"Familiar? Did you go back along this road just now?" Zhang Hao felt a little strange.

Li Siyu shook his head: "No, it's definitely not going back this way, but... it just feels a little familiar."

Zhang Hao nodded, didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and said: "Maybe it's dark now, and the trees in the forest are all the same, so you will look familiar, it's okay, this road is already The way down the mountain."

He was also worried that Li Siyu was still in the fear of being lost alone before, so he didn't speak clearly, and he said as much as possible.

Li Siyu straightened up, her beautiful eyes were still looking around, her face was a little vigilant and puzzled.

Soon, the two came to the end of the road.

At this time, the road has become very wide, and the trees on both sides are far away, which can accommodate an ancient carriage.

As soon as he came here, Li Siyu's figure suddenly stopped.

Just at the end of the road, there is a fork in the road, with a narrow road on the right and a winding mountain road ahead on the left.

Seeing this, she finally understood why she was so familiar.

Her eyes widened, she looked around, and finally stopped her gaze on the big tree on the right.

Three stripes can be seen on the bark surface of the big tree, two on the top and one on the bottom.

It was the old tree that showed me the way before!

"This... this is that ancient tree, the old gentleman who showed me the way." Li Siyu exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly got off the deer's back.

Zhang Hao also paused, turned his head in surprise, and looked at the ancient tree that Li Siyu was looking at.

Then, he briefly looked around.

He seems to have passed by here a few times before when he was walking in the mountains, but he didn't stay here, and he just found a road and left. Anyway, the roads in the mountains extend in all directions, and he is still a mountain walker, so he should be familiar with it. All roads in the mountains.

Therefore, I have never heard any ancient tree speak, and naturally I don't have the experience of Li Siyu.

Now, after hearing Li Siyu's words, he reacted and refocused on the ancient tree.

"Is this the old tree?" Zhang Hao asked in a low voice.

Li Siyu nodded.

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhang Hao stepped forward, folded his hands towards the ancient tree, bowed and said: "Thank you, old man, for guiding my wife."

I thought that I would have the opportunity to find the ancient tree in this mountain in the future, and then come to thank me, but I didn't expect to follow the traces of this mountain treasure and come to the ancient tree. That's just right, I will take this opportunity to thank this ancient tree. Yes.

The ancient tree did not respond immediately as Zhang Hao imagined, but fell silent for a while, as if it had fallen asleep before. After a long time, the leaves of the ancient tree trembled, and then came the An old voice.

"It turns out that the Master Zoushan came here personally, and this old man has neglected him a bit. He dare not accept the gratitude from Mr. Zoushan. Helping others is something I do voluntarily." Gu Shu was very polite, like an old pedant, but also like an old man. The old people in ancient times are ordinary.

Hearing the ancient tree speak again, Li Siyu still felt that it was very novel, especially in the dark and scary environment in the dense forest, the ancient tree's opening added to the weird atmosphere.

But she, who had already seen it once, didn't feel too scared at this time, only a little surprised.

Zhang Hao straightened up slightly: "Thanks are naturally to be thanked."

Then, he changed the subject and quickly asked: "Senior, I don't know something, I wonder if the senior can explain it to me."

The old and aged voice of the ancient tree came faintly: "Master Zoushan, please tell me. If the old man knows, I will tell you everything. Difficult."

"That's natural." Zhang Hao nodded, and then blurted out: "I walked along a long and narrow mark all the way, and the mark seemed to pass through here. Did the old man know What it is?"

According to his thinking, that suspicious Shanbao might have come here, and what kind of means he used to call Li Siyu over.

As long as the mountain treasure passed by here, then this ancient tree would also be able to see the mountain treasure.

When Gu Shu heard this, he seemed to be recalling, and said after a long time: "Master Zoushan, is the thing you are looking for a strange thing?"

Strange things?

Zhang Hao repeatedly chewed on the meaning of these words.

It seems to be the case. Just thinking about it, how can something that can leave a long and narrow mark be a normal thing? I'm afraid it must not be something that is common in the mountains.

Even if it is among the mountain treasures, it must not be an ordinary thing, this thing is really unique.

"Does the old man know what that is?" Zhang Hao hurriedly asked.

"Hehe." The trunk of the ancient tree laughed twice, the branches on the side trembled, and a few green leaves fell to the ground, and then he sighed: "This thing is extremely cunning, it looks like everything in the mountain, and it is extremely good at It is difficult for ordinary people to detect a disguise, even if you are not always vigilant, you may not be able to detect His existence."

"Master Zoushanren, that thing did pass by here, but the old man only saw the imprint left by him, but I don't know exactly what he looks like, maybe...an animal, or maybe It is vegetation, and even stones, which seem to be dead things, are also possible."

Zhang Hao frowned even tighter.

Gu Shu gave a lot of information, and it can be said that he has already locked some key details for him.

It's like saying that this thing is good at disguising, it can turn into everything in the mountain, and has evaded capture, then it means that this thing is quite capable, and ordinary mountain walkers can't even try to catch it.

If this is the case, it means that this thing is extremely difficult to grasp, even in the [Zoushan Travel Records], there should not be too many records about this thing.

However, as long as you go back and compare the information recorded in the [Zoushan Travel Notes], you will definitely be able to find some clues.

But it's a little difficult to pin down exactly what that thing is right now.

Is thinking.

Li Siyu on the side was at a loss.

Listening to the conversation between Gu Shu and Zhang Hao, she felt more and more unable to understand what this person and tree were communicating with each other.

But listen, it seems to be the thing that pestered Zhang Hao before talking about it.

"Thank you, senior, for clearing my confusion." Zhang Hao bowed again, clasping his hands.

"Don't dare, it's a blessing to be able to help Lord Zoushanren." Gu Shu still maintained a humble and kind attitude.

Zhang Hao straightened up, thought for a moment, and then asked again: "I still have one thing I want to ask the old man."

"My lord Zoushan, but it's okay to say it." The ancient tree didn't refuse, and the branches trembled one after another, as if saluting Zhang Hao again.

Zhang Haodao: "I don't know if the old man knows that there is a place of geomantic omen nearby. I want to build a residence in this mountain."
