Chapter 257 256. Yellow Flowers and Snakes
Zhou Qian’s description was obviously a little scary. Huai Yu thought about it and then said solemnly:
"So we brought a small fishing net! Once we cast the net, it doesn't matter whether it can be caught after it merges into the water. Anyway, we can catch some small ones and turn around and leave. It should be no problem."
"If you catch a lot of small shrimps, you can remove the shrimp heads and make sauce or shrimp oil. They are really fragrant and delicious."
Although the other party's mind is full of food, it is precisely because of this optimistic spirit that Zhou Qian feels that life after retirement is so colorful.
He nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Huaiyu instantly became happy, then pretended to check the time and said calmly, "Now, let's try to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible!"
Sanqing Mountain is an undulating mountain range with countless small branches and hills in the middle, and what they are exploring now is only the one closest to the main peak.
…
At noon, they finally reached the end of the stream. There was a small spring hidden in the cracks of the rocks. The spring water flowed out from the cracks, and the air around them seemed to become much cooler.
Huaiyu couldn't help but go over and wash his hands, then soaked them for a while with a towel and wiped the sweat off his head and face.
During this time, Zhou Qian did not stop them, but he stood not far away with a long stick and observed. The bushes, vines, slanting branches, and the high mountain walls...are all good places to hide mutant creatures.
for example……
He stretched out his long stick and picked up a clump of orchids growing in the cracks of the rocks.
The slender, shiny leaves rustled as the long stick swished them, and then straightened out inadvertently as they swung, like a sharp blade that cut straight off the front end of the wooden stick! Somehow, Zhou Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This seems much more normal!
In such a vast forest, the number of mutated plants was far too few compared to what they had discovered during their previous raids.
Nowadays, it seems that mutant plants can still be seen everywhere. The only difference is that they try hard to pretend that they are no different from other plants in front of Huai Yu.
So much so that if I didn't do it myself, I'm afraid the other party would still hesitate to offer its only fruit pod to Huaiyu.
Huaiyu turned around when he heard the noise and asked, "What's that sound?"
"fine."
Zhou Qian looked up at her, only to see another long green snake snaking across the mountain wall, hissing and staring at Huai Yu, ready to strike!
His heart tightened. The front end of the long stick in his hand had been sharpened by the orchid. Now he raised his arm and was about to throw the stick out, but he saw an orange-red lily falling from mid-air on the mountain wall.
The lily fell silently, like a fluttering butterfly landing on the head of the emerald green snake. The next moment, the trumpet-shaped flower had firmly wrapped around the snake's head. With just a little force, the emerald green snake's body instantly curled up and fell from the cliff, and then fell to the ground, also silently.
This time the commotion was quite big.
As the green snake struggled, it fluttered across the fallen leaves. Huai Yu turned his head curiously, first looking at the motionless snake on the ground in surprise, and then at the orange-red flower.
Finally, he seemed to react and looked up suddenly, only to see a large bunch of brilliant lilies swaying in the wind on the cliff above...
“It’s daylily!”
Huaiyu said in surprise.
Zhou Qian paused, then asked, "Isn't it a lily?"
"No!" Huaiyu looked at the large patch of orange flowers eagerly, and sighed regretfully: "It's so high! So many daylilies, if they were pickled into pickles, they would definitely be delicious, right? Or stewed with meat would be good too."
"Do you want to eat?" Zhou Qian asked her, looking up at the daylily - if Huaiyu said she wanted to eat it, would she drop the daylily all over the ground? Huaiyu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "No, we already have food. This flower is so beautiful and so brilliant, it must have had a hard life... Let it bloom quietly like this."
Zhou Qian felt for a moment that he must have misheard. Such words did not seem like something Huaiyu would say.
The large flowers above his head swayed even more violently. Even without saying anything or feeling anything, Zhou Qian could feel the joy.
He put away the long stick in his hand and finally advised: "The moisture here is too heavy, it will definitely attract a lot of animals, let's leave first."
…
The high mountain wall was impossible to cross, and the two walked along the edge for a long time before they finally saw a clear view ahead.
Just before stepping out of the forest, Zhou Qian asked curiously, "Do you really not want to eat day lily?"
Huaiyu shook his head: "I still want to eat it. The yellow flowers are so beautiful when they bloom. They must be very chewy after being dried."
"But don't you see? They even eat snakes!"
Although she reacted a little slowly, when she turned around, she actually saw with her own eyes that there was an extremely thin long thread attached to the end of the yellow flower.
It was as if the flower was not falling because it was about to wither, but was projected by the large number of flowers. Rather than a falling flower, it was more like a lasso that could be retrieved.
Huaiyu guessed that after they left, the yellow flower would be taken back with the snake's body in its mouth.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Huaiyu hesitated for a moment and then muttered, "Look, they even eat snakes. Do other blooming flowers also eat flies and mosquitoes? If that's the case, I can't eat them anymore."
She looked as if it was a matter of course:
"But they are blooming so hard and so brilliantly. If I say I don't want to eat because of this, I wonder if they will be sad?"
So I just said I didn’t want to eat anymore.
Zhou Qian originally had expectations for her, such as being able to detect her high fighting power, but at this moment he could not help but fall silent.
After a long while, he finally found three words from his knowledge base: "How thoughtful."
"That's right!" Huaiyu immediately became proud.
Zhou Qian looked at her carefree smile, paused, and then laughed too. Then he sighed, "No wonder the plants in the mountains favor you...Xiao Yu, you did the right thing."
As long as she maintains this considerate attitude and does not take the initiative to provoke others, she can easily save her life whether she goes into the mountains or into the wilderness.
After all, when Huang Huacai killed the snake just now, he didn't hesitate at all—even though it was so far away.
He also clearly saw that there were two more geckos crawling on the cliff, closer to the yellow flower itself.
Giving up the near and seeking the far, the purpose is obvious.
The problem now lies with him——
Huaiyu has such a treasure-like ability that the previous plan of following the garrison from a distance will be overturned, and there is no need to even follow the convoy.
Because her most urgent task was not to ensure her safety outside the wilderness, but to keep her secret from being discovered by anyone.
Zhou Qian thought about it and couldn't help but feel distressed -
Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, from now on, you should change your name to Little Secret.
Update 2, good night.
