Chapter 79 This is a wild chicken
Suddenly, Su Meng remembered what her grandmother had said: "There are seven of these beads, each in a different color: orange, yellow, red, cyan, purple, black, and green. They are all priceless treasures."
Su dreamed of the orange bead that had already merged into the space, which seemed to be about the same size as the two black and white beads.
And those two water droplet pendants that embodied the space seemed to be the same size when put together.
So, the orange bead she obtained by chance, along with the black and white beads this time, might be one of the seven-colored beads that her grandmother mentioned.
But why did she receive more white beads?
Su Meng was curious to see how the space would change after the black and white beads were integrated.
However, the space was still shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see clearly.
"Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng? Let's go!"
Hearing Huo Zhenhua's shout, Su Meng instantly snapped back to reality, "Are they gone?"
"He's gone! Are you alright?" Huo Zhenhua thought she was too sad to bear it, so he racked his brains to comfort her, "Uncle should be fine. Look at this mask, it's not human skin."
Shall we go out and look for them?
"good!"
Su Meng was just looking for clues about Su Mianzhi.
I also wanted to follow the villagers to see the surrounding terrain.
She also had a selfish motive: the island had so much vegetation that she wanted to harvest some.
Ah Da lay in a rocking chair by the window, a gun tucked into his waistband.
After the morning's ordeal, he was indeed too weak to walk.
But self-preservation is still within their capabilities.
So he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead! Be careful."
Huo Zhenhua emptied half a bullet from the magazine and handed it to A-Da, saying, "Uncle, if anything happens, fire. I'll be right back."
Ah Da silently accepted it, squinting his eyes and waving his hand.
After leaving the courtyard, they walked around the village to make sure there was no danger, and then chased after the clan chief.
"Do you think the curse these villagers are talking about is real? It's unbelievable." Looking back, Su Meng thought she was listening to a myth.
Huo Zhenhua: "Some strange rumors circulating among the people are true and some are false."
But with so many of them speaking in unison, it can't be faked.
Let's follow them and see."
If they were just making up lies to save their own lives because all the gunmen in the village had been killed, then they were lying.
He... will definitely not forgive!
Su Meng also felt that this was possible.
After all, bad people don't have the word "bad" written on their faces.
Huo Zhenhua's tracking ability is top-notch.
In less than ten minutes, they caught up with the clan leader and his group.
"The clan chief and his group are just ahead." Huo Zhenhua brushed away the thorny vines on the road for Su Meng and asked with concern, "Can you still walk?"
Su Meng gave him a "who do you think you are?" look and said confidently, "Yes!"
If he paid less attention to her, she could still steal some plants to put in her space, but she didn't dare to do it under his nose!
She's still incredibly timid!
Suddenly, a pheasant flew out of the grass, glanced at them disdainfully, and flew to the other side of the road.
"Hey! You go ahead and follow me. I've caught a pheasant to eat tonight."
Su Meng recalled that transplanting four medicinal herbs into her space had created a small hill, and she wanted to do the same, using pheasants as a cover.
But Huo Zhenhua looked at her teasingly, "Can you catch chickens? I'll go!"
Su Meng pouted and scoffed. "Hmph! Who can't catch chickens?"
Back when her father was still alive, he would take her hunting in the mountains whenever he had time.
Back then, she was being groomed to be the heir of the Su family.
He has dabbled in horsemanship and archery.
well!
She sighed and fell far behind the clan leader and his entourage.
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a few red spots in the distant thicket of thorns, and my breath caught in my throat.
Those are ripe ginseng fruits.
Without thinking, she jumped up and swung across the tree branches.
As soon as you step on it, you sink into a thick layer of dead branches and fallen leaves, as soft as stepping on several layers of Persian carpet, unable to feel the hard ground.
Only in such remote and sparsely populated places can ginseng that is hundreds of years old exist.
She glanced around warily, then used her mind to envelop the entire ginseng plant and send it into the space that was still shrouded in thick fog.
I harvested one large one, and also got two smaller ones as I had hoped.
Hearing Huo Zhenhua's footsteps, she hurriedly dug out the last fifty-year-old ginseng and called out in his direction, "Hey, I'm here!"
Huo Zhenhua looked over and saw the little girl standing in a small clearing of about four or five square meters surrounded by thorns, waving at her.
She wore a white shirt, the hem casually tucked into elasticated trousers, looking fresh, bright, and radiant.
For a fleeting moment, he actually thought it was a forest sprite.
Its delicate and lively appearance made even the mountain scenery pale in comparison.
His eyes and heart were filled with nothing but her image. His dark eyes were fixed on the young girl, unable to control his burning gaze.
A mountain breeze swept by, and he suddenly came to his senses. He immediately scanned her surroundings warily, fearing the presence of snakes. His voice was low, filled with worry and restraint: "Come out quickly."
"Wait! I'm coming out right now."
She swung down from the high branches of a tree, just as she had come.
Startled, Huo Zhenhua instinctively dropped the pheasant and caught the person who was leaping towards him.
"How could you be so reckless? What if you fell and got hurt?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into his arms.
Sensing her slender waist and petite body, his heart clenched.
It's too thin!
Too thin!
I feel like I could grab her waist with one slap.
He could even press her directly into his heart.
Su Meng fell into his arms, looked up in surprise, and met his dark eyes. She was stunned when she heard his heartfelt words that he wanted to hold her in his heart.
He's a pervert!
How could you be so rude?
You just said you no longer doubted me, and now you want to imprison me?
After reading her heartfelt words, Huo Zhenhua was met with a series of question marks. He smiled helplessly. This woman who didn't understand romance was really... there was no way to deal with her!
"Hey you! I'll treat you to a chicken leg tonight."
His tone trailed off with a hook, and his magnetic voice crashed into her heart like waves.
Suddenly, my heart felt like it had been electrocuted, throbbing and tingling with a slightly numb sensation.
Her face flushed, she turned her head away and pointed at the pheasant struggling to fly away, awkwardly diverting her attention, "Oh dear, your pheasant is about to fly away."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhua froze for a moment, stared at her with his deep eyes for a second, released her, turned around and grabbed the pheasant, his words clearly uttered: "This is a pheasant."
Su Meng looked up at him blankly, "I know!"
Then, she held up the ginseng in her hand and excitedly shared, "Look, I dug up a ginseng."
"You're amazing!" Huo Zhenhua sighed, but to no avail. He followed behind her, watching her ponytail sway, silently belittling himself. It seemed he was getting old and his heart had grown old!
The little girl is clearly a blank slate.
Pure white.
Half an hour later, they finally smelled the familiar sea breeze.
They saw the clan chief leading a group of people to gather on the beach.
This U-shaped harbor must be where they used to moor their boats.
But there wasn't a single ship in the vast harbor.
They gathered on the beach and discussed it.
Some people even climbed the nearby stone wall in an attempt to get a better view.
Su Meng glanced at the terrain and, together with Huo Zhenhua, pointed to the high mountain on their right.
This is probably the highest point on the island; from there, you can overlook the entire island.
"This mountain range is too high and too steep! To save time, I'm going to climb up from here. Why don't you wait for me here?"
Huo Zhenhua thought that since she had no training, he dared not take her rock climbing.
He told her to wait at the foot of the cliff so he could intervene in time if there was any danger.
Su Meng looked around, her dark eyes darting around, and readily agreed, "Okay! I'll wait for you."
