Chapter 247 It’s too hard to wait for the sun to come out in winter
After Gu Xiaoxi and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, Wei Kong carried Uncle Geda on his back.
"Brother, put me down, I can walk!" Uncle Geda said quickly.
"Uncle Geda, you don't have to be polite with us." Wei Kong said and walked in front.
Gu Xiaoxi also advised: "Uncle Geda, only if you maintain your physical strength can we reach that place faster and find that medicinal herb."
After hearing what they said, Uncle Geda reluctantly agreed.
After the heavy snow, the snow was very deep and everyone had to walk up with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The speed was okay when we were going down the mountain, but it became difficult to walk before we reached the middle of the mountain.
Wei Kong carried Liu Geda on his back, and two guards followed him, so that there would be no one to help in case of any special situation.
Gu Xiaoxi carried a basket on his back and dug up medicinal herbs as he saw them. As long as he didn't fall behind, it was fine.
When they weren't paying attention, she would throw some herbs into the space, so that no one would leave in vain.
On the first day, they worked hard to get outside the valley, where they could see the thick miasma.
"This is the place. The miasma here never dissipates throughout the year. It only becomes lighter in the early morning when the sun comes out.
But it’s so hard to wait for the sun to come out in winter.” Uncle Geda pointed to the miasma not far away.
"Do you mean we have to wait until the sun comes out before we can go in?" Wei Kong became a little anxious after hearing this.
Uncle Geda nodded.
"What should we do? So many lives cannot wait!" Wei Kong became even more anxious after hearing this.
"Miss Xiaoxi, do you have any way to make some medicine for us? As long as we can remove the poison in the miasma, we can go in." Wei Bai thought of a way.
Before Gu Xiaoxi could speak, Uncle Geda said, "It's useless to just remove the miasma poison. Only when the sunlight shines down can we see the path clearly. Otherwise, even if we can't find the path after entering, our trip will be in vain."
Only when the sun shines on the miasma can we see that road?
Gu Xiaoxi thought about this question seriously and frowned.
Wei Kong felt a chill in his heart after hearing this, and Wei Bai instructed, "Let's find a place to camp first and make it through today."
The others also thought it was right. It was almost dark now and they couldn't do anything else, so they could only do this first.
Gu Xiaoxi stood there looking at the miasma, which was very thick and a bit dark in color.
Uncle Geda said that we should wait until the morning sun, as the sunlight should be able to penetrate the miasma so that we can see the road inside clearly.
But, it’s really hard to wait for the winter sun!
What should she do? There was no time to lose and her head was aching.
While Gu Xiaoxi was in a daze, Wei Kong and his men set up the tent and cooked the noodles.
"Miss Xiaoxi, you've been tired all day. Why don't you eat something first?" Wei Bai came over and called Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi came to her senses and followed them into the tent.
As night fell, the temperature continued to drop. If they didn't make a fire, they would be very cold even if they were wearing cotton jackets.
In addition to being cold in such places, you also have to be on guard against large wild animals.
"Whiteboard, come here." Gu Xiaoxi patted the ground.
Baiban came over obediently and saw his owner take out his iron bowl and squat there to prepare for dinner.
"Miss Xiaoxi, you take such good care of your dog." Wei Bai followed Miss Xiaoxi, looking at the whiteboard all the way.
"Yes, Baiban is very well behaved and not picky about food. He eats whatever I eat." Gu Xiaoxi filled Baiban's bowl with a lot of noodles, and then they started eating together.
Baiban tried his best not to spill the noodles outside the bowl, and they tasted delicious.
In such a cold day, it is easy for it to consume its energy. Gu Xiaoxi secretly fed it a lot of dog food on the way, otherwise this little bit of noodles would not be enough to fill its stomach.
After dinner, Wei Kong asked his men to take turns to rest to avoid any special situations at night.
Although Uncle Geda walked for a relatively short time that day, he was used to going to bed early and fell asleep in a short while.
The first half of the night was relatively peaceful, and everyone took turns sleeping for a while.
In the second half of the night, there were constant wolves howling, and the sound seemed very close. Wei Kong and the others looked around but did not see any wolves.
Uncle Geda slowly woke up and said sleepily, "The wolves are not outside. It's cold outside, but warm inside. The wolves are all inside."
Hearing Uncle Geda say this, Gu Xiaoxi asked in a low voice, "You've been in there more than once, haven't you?"
Uncle Geda chuckled and said, "Actually, I used to come here often when I was young, but few people in the village knew about it."
"Are you worried that the villagers will be in danger if they go in?" Gu Xiaoxi guessed.
If Uncle Geda brought the villagers in and something happened, he felt he could not take the responsibility.
Uncle Geda nodded. He thought Miss Xiaoxi was very smart.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't ask any more questions. She believed that Uncle Geda would tell them if there was anything they needed to pay attention to.
That night was peaceful and uneventful.
The next morning, the sun had not yet come out, the sky was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Seeing the weather, Uncle Geda said worriedly, "We need to go up the mountain tonight. If it rains, the river inside will surge and the whole area will be wet."
"Won't it freeze in such a cold day?" Wei Bai asked curiously.
"To be honest, it's not cold in there at all. I've been in there in the winter, and it's much warmer than outside. There are not only the medicinal herbs you mentioned, but also many rare ones.
It's just that I don't understand these things. I just followed that senior in to help carry the medicine out." Uncle Geda told everyone what he knew.
"By the way, the senior said that this place is called Shadowless Canyon." He thought for a while and said again.
Gu Xiaoxi thought the name was quite interesting. Shadowless Canyon, is there no shadow at all?
Isn’t that a bit fantasy?
"How many days will it rain?" Wei Kong asked.
"It's hard to say. Sometimes it stops for half a day, and sometimes it may stop for half a month. The main thing is to go inside. Once you go inside, you don't have to worry about whether it will rain or not. There are many big mushrooms inside, and you can stand under the big mushrooms to avoid the rain." Uncle Geda replied.
How big is the mushroom that can shelter from the rain?
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly thought of the mushroom house in the fairy tale, and was eager to go and see it.
"Is there anyone still living in there?" Wei Bai asked with curiosity.
Uncle Geda thought for a moment and replied, "We've run into a few dwarves in there a few times. Although they weren't friendly, they wouldn't attack us.
If you meet someone who's easy to talk to, you can even trade your stuff for some medicinal herbs."
"Does that mean that as long as we go in, we will have a great chance of finding that medicinal herb?" Wei Kong became excited.
"You can say that, but the prerequisite is that you can get in." Uncle Geda felt a headache when he saw the miasma that had not dissipated for a long time.
