The mountains near Songjia Village are among the alternative options.
Now that he was here, Liu Yuzhou planned to survey the surrounding terrain and collect some geological samples.
Early the next morning.
He went up the mountain with Liu Yuning to conduct geological surveys.
When the two of them went out, Meng Zhen was sleeping soundly.
Liu Yuzhou was reluctant to wake up his wife, so he only left a note to tell her where he was going.
Wait for Meng Zhen to wake up.
The man had been on the road for more than two hours.
Songjia Village is located in a mountainous area.
But there is abundant rainfall all year round and the soil is fertile.
The crops are growing well.
There are also a rich variety of mushrooms in the nearby mountains and forests, some of which are very chewy and more fragrant than meat. Villagers often go into the mountains to pick them.
After Meng Zhen found out about this while chatting with the villagers yesterday, he has been thinking about picking mushrooms ever since.
It just so happened that the forest mentioned in the note Liu Yuzhou left was a place often visited by nearby villagers.
So Meng Zhen packed up and decided to try his luck.
By the way, I'm waiting for my husband at the foot of the mountain.
It was midsummer and there were many snakes and insects in the mountains and forests.
Meng Zhen specially changed into long-sleeved clothes and wrapped himself tightly before going in.
As soon as you enter the forest, a cool feeling hits you.
The dense branches and leaves blocked most of the scorching sun, with only a ray of light leaking out from the gaps here and there.
Meng Zhen didn't dare go too deep, so he just wandered around not far from the entrance of the forest.
From time to time, you can see villagers coming to the mountain to find food.
It is said that it is the only way to go up and down the mountain.
Meng Zhen felt a little more relaxed when he occasionally saw passers-by.
I picked up a branch from the ground and poked the mud under my feet from time to time to see if there were any mushrooms in it.
She remembered it from a documentary she had seen before.
This is how mushroom pickers in Yunnan look for mushrooms.
Because some mushrooms are buried very deep, they need to be searched carefully to be found.
As a result, she worked hard for half a day according to the method in the documentary, but didn't even see the shadow of a mushroom.
As he was trying to straighten himself up with one hand, he noticed a fishy smell coming from his ear.
Her keen sense of smell immediately identified it as the creature she hated and feared the most.
Her sight shifted slightly, and she saw the colorful thing approaching her along the branch hanging beside her.
Goosebumps appeared all over her body.
My back was sweating and my hands and feet were completely out of control.
He stood frozen in place, unable to move.
Just now, I could see one or two villagers from time to time.
But now it was as if he had made an appointment to disappear.
She couldn't find anyone to help her.
As the thing moved closer and closer, the fishy smell was almost touching her fair cheek.
It seemed to be testing and watching, and would immediately entangle her as long as she dared to move.
At this time, she would rather meet a vicious human trafficker than face this cold-blooded creature.
It was her Achilles' heel.
As soon as she was touched, her brain froze, her whole body went limp, and she was completely unable to resist.
Meng Zhen's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were misty, and she looked helpless and desperate, so fragile that it made people feel distressed.
But it seems that I can only close my eyes and wait for that disgusting touch.
There was only a "whoosh" sound in the air.
The fishy smell was instantly taken away from her cheek.
The crisis was resolved and Meng Zhen's weak hands and feet regained their mobility.
She turned her head and looked behind her where the sound came from.
But I saw a black shadow in front of me suddenly pounce on the colorful things that were twisting rapidly on the ground.
The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light, cutting off the wound cleanly.
The dark red blood splashed onto the black shadow's forearm, emitting a foul stench.
The black shadow didn't care about these things. He squatted on the ground and then used a dagger to deal with the corpse on the ground.
Peel off the snake skin and cut out the snake gall.
He tilted his head back and swallowed the scarlet snake gall in one gulp, his Adam's apple rolling heavily.
The series of operations went smoothly, as if they had been planned long ago.
Meng Zhen was shocked by what he saw.
When I came to my senses, the black shadow had already stood up from the ground.
Only then did Meng Zhen realize that the black shadow was very tall, at least 1.8 meters.
The clothes around him were obviously several sizes too small, revealing most of his slender and skinny limbs.
Barefoot.
The top of his head is dirty and messy, like a bird's nest.
You can't tell the color of his face, it's pitch black.
Blends in with the clothes on your body.
That's why she could see the effect of the dark shadow in the daytime just now.
The only thing that stood out was his eyes, which were long, narrow, dark, and as bright as stars.
After he stood up, he had no intention of talking to Meng Zhen and was about to leave with the remaining snake meat.
"Hello!"
Meng Zhen subconsciously called out to him.
The shadow paused for two seconds before turning around.
Meng Zhen smiled and said, "Wait a moment."
Then he took out some tissues and a pack of snacks from the canvas bag and handed them to him.
"Your hands are covered in blood, wipe them off. I was planning to eat that bag of snacks on the mountain, but I don't have much of an appetite now, so I'll give it to you."
The snacks were actually just taken from the space.
It contains biscuits, egg cakes and fructose.
The other party looked in a miserable state and even ate snake gall. He must have been extremely hungry.
But those eyes and the way he behaved were exceptionally dignified.
I think he is a person with strong self-esteem.
Meng Zhencai found an excuse to give him some food.
The shadow's gaze lingered on the tissue and the bag of snacks for a second.
He refused bluntly: "No."
His voice was cold but youthful.
It is easy to capture the youthfulness in it.
Meng Zhen was almost certain that the black shadow was not very old.
When the two men faced each other, Meng Zhen saw another disgusting creature not far away.
