The mountain road was wet and muddy due to the rain. Yu Jiao was holding a green oil-paper umbrella and was getting further and further away from the cave.
It took them two quarters of an hour to reach the northern mountain peak. The rainstorm had been falling for quite some time, and all the wild animals in the mountains had returned to their nests to avoid the rain. Yu Jiao was not afraid of encountering any ferocious beasts.
The most frightening thing in the mountains when it rains is getting lost and encountering landslides. Yu Jiao had lived in the mountains as a child in her previous life and had a good sense of direction in the mountains, so she would not get lost.
In order to prevent the soles of her shoes from slipping on the rocks due to wet mud, Yu Jiao took off her shoes and started searching in the crevices of the rocks beside the cliff in her socks.
In the cave, the people who had been waiting for a long time did not see Yu Jiao coming back, and they were inevitably a little worried. Yu Qiaoshan even thought of what Zhang said last night. Could Meng Yujiao have taken the opportunity to run away? Standing at the entrance of the cave, he looked out frequently.
"Miss Meng has been out for half an hour. Why hasn't she come back yet? How about I go out with you to look for her, Brother Yu?" Zhou Xiang said when he saw Yu Qiaoshan pacing back and forth at the entrance of the cave.
Yu Qiaoshan was thinking the same thing, so he happily responded, "Zhixing, take good care of Fuling and Changshun. I'll go out with your uncle Xiangzi to look for Meng."
Yu Zhixing nodded. "We will wait for you in the cave and not go anywhere."
Yu Qiaoshan and Zhou Xiang wrapped themselves up and walked into the rain forest. They looked around but couldn't find Yu Jiao. Zhou Xiang suggested, "Brother Yu, let's split up and look for her. You look to the west and north, and I'll look to the east and south."
"Okay." Yu Qiaoshan nodded, and the two of them went in different directions.
Yu Jiao searched all over the rocks on the North Peak but couldn't find the Yaocao. Although she was a little disappointed, this was expected. Yaocao is also known as the Huanyang Fairy Spirit, which shows how precious it is. Although it does not have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, it can prolong life and generate reproduction.
Worried that she would be away for too long, Yu Qiaoshan and the others were worried, so Yu Jiao did not stay any longer. She put on her shoes, went down the North Peak and returned to the cave.
The rainstorm was getting heavier and heavier, and the whole forest was shrouded in fog. Yu Jiao groped her way forward, taking one deep step forward and one shallow step back. Unexpectedly, she encountered an unexpected surprise. She saw a cluster of brown-red in the grass on a low slope in the forest.
Yu Jiao was delighted and walked closer quickly, wanting to confirm whether it was Prunella Vulgaris. However, her foot slipped, she stumbled, and fell heavily to the ground. She rolled several times on the ground. Yu Jiao was covered in mud and water, and the straw basket and oil-paper umbrella fell to the side.
Not far behind him, Yu Qiaoshan called out, "Meng girl, Meng girl!"
Yu Jiao crawled up from the ground and sat up. When she moved her right foot slightly, she brows slightly pulled in pain. Knowing that her ankle was sprained, Yu Jiao hurriedly responded loudly in the direction of Yu Qiaoshan's shouting, "Uncle, I'm here!"
Because the rain was so loud, Yu Jiao was afraid that Yu Qiaoshan couldn't hear clearly, so she repeated it in a hoarse voice.
After a while, Yu Qiaoshan came over following the sound and saw Yu Jiao sitting on the ground, looking very embarrassed. He asked, "Did you fall?" He stepped forward to help Yu Jiao up.
Yu Jiao waved her hand, "Uncle, I sprained my ankle."
The rain was still pouring heavily at this moment, and Yu Qiaoshan didn't care about much. After all, there was a big age difference between them, so he said, "Meng girl, I'll carry you back."
Yu Jiao shook her head. She curled up her right leg slightly, put her hands on her right ankle, gritted her teeth and twisted it hard.
There was a faint "crackling" sound mixed in with the sound of the rain. Yu Qiaoshan thought he had heard it wrong, but Yu Jiao heaved a sigh of relief and then stood up from the ground. "Uncle, I can walk. Wait a minute."
After saying that, he walked to the hay basket, took out a small shovel from it, and went to dig up the clump of summer cypress nearby.
