Several people were stunned when they heard this, and soon surprise flashed in their eyes. Yes, why didn’t they think of it? This little mink had been on Tianhan Mountain all the time, and must be more familiar with it than they were.
There are not many wild animals on this mountain. What could this little creature eat? Most likely snow lotus. It must be so smart.
Lin Chenghe said excitedly, "Xiao Diao, take us to find snow lotus. We'll give you meat. We'll roast as much as you want."
The little mink raised its head to look at him, then turned around with its little butt facing him. It would not believe anyone except the one who smelled like medicine.
Seeing this, several people were at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "......!!"
Everyone looked at the people beside them, and Lin Chenghe pleaded, "Doctor Yang, I think this little mink is very dependent on you. Why don't you ask it where the snow lotus is? You can bring it anything it wants to eat."
Jiang Sheng nodded, looked at the little guy with his butt sticking out, reached out and nodded, and coaxed him softly: "Xiaobai, do you want to know about honey barbecue in the future?"
When the little mink heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at him, nodding his head repeatedly: "Squeak, squeak~~~"
"Okay, then you take us to find flowers. I'll support you from now on and make a lot of delicious dishes, such as grilled fish, honey-glazed barbecued meat, lotus leaf chicken, squirrel fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and eight-treasure duck..."
Barabala called out a bunch of names. Since this little guy likes to eat human food, it is easier to coax him with food.
Before Jiang Sheng finished reporting, a white shadow jumped into his arms, squeaking and pointing its claws outwards. The meaning was self-evident.
They looked at each other, and there was joy in their eyes.
"Master Lin, we will follow Xiao Diao tomorrow morning. If we can find him successfully, we will have enough time to go down the mountain and rush back to the government office."
Lin Chenghe was also very excited, his eyes were a little red, and he nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Doctor Yang, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been so successful."
Not only will it not go smoothly, I'm afraid I'll get snow blindness and become completely blind, which will make it difficult for me to get down the mountain.
The few of them slept soundly that night and woke up at dawn.
After packing up and leaving the cave, the wind outside was very cold. The little mink stretched out its little paw to point the way: "Squeak."
"Haha, just follow the direction it points."
It took us half a day to walk, and it was not until noon that we saw a cave. It was covered in snow and looked like a karst cave.
Jiang Sheng walked inside. After seeing the situation clearly, his eyes were full of shock. He stared blankly in one direction and saw flowers clustered close together in the corner.
It blooms in full bloom, what else could it be but snow lotus?
Lin Chenghe's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this scene: "Doctor Yang, are those snow lotuses? There must be at least a dozen of them."
"Well, I'll go pick it."
With his arms empty, the little mink jumped down and climbed onto the lava, waving his claws and teeth, as if saying something, staring straight at the person who smelled of medicine.
It opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, its eyes a little fierce, pointed at the snow lotus blooming on the ground, and bit the air while howling, as if threatening people.
The guard was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean? Are we not allowed to pick flowers? If not, why did you bring us here?"
Jiang Sheng shook his head and said softly, "No, Xiaobai was reminding us of something. It seemed that there was danger over at the Snow Lotus, so we should not go there for the time being."
"Danger? There's no danger at all."
"Step back and wait and see. It's right in front of you, why are you afraid you won't be able to pick it?"
Lin Chenghe was also anxious to finish picking and go down the mountain, but he couldn't just ignore the strange behavior of the little mink now, so it wouldn't hurt to wait a little longer.
After waiting for about an incense stick of time, something on the ground where the snow lotus was originally blooming began to wake up little by little, and its blood-red eyes suddenly opened.
Only then did they see clearly that what was coiled in the flower path below the snow lotus was... a snake. It was a transparent snow-white snake, with only its eyes blood red. This kind of snake was extremely poisonous.
If Xiao Diao hadn't reminded them just now, they would have picked the snow lotus without any precautions and would have been bitten by now.
Jiang Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the roots of the snow lotus. Covered by the snow, he couldn't tell which snow lotus had a poisonous snake under it and which one didn't.
The little mink lay on the stone, staring at the snake as if to attack. The two sides confronted each other, and soon a white light flashed.
The shadow snake rushed forward and opened its mouth, its fangs flashing with sharpness.
With this commotion, more and more shadow snakes woke up. Only then did they see that there was one under almost every snow lotus, and rustling sounds were heard.
Jiang Sheng watched the shadow snake swim towards Xiao Marten. He moved his fingers slightly and shouted, "Come on, you guys go help Xiao Marten. I'll go pick the snow lotus."
“Hurry up!”
Several people cooperated with each other. Jiang Sheng brought the ice box and carefully picked a flower and put it in it, naturally along with the soil, so as to ensure the freshness of the snow lotus.
As for the others, you don't need to be so careful. Just reach out and pull them off, put them in your pocket and take them home to prepare.
In a blink of an eye, only half of the dozen or so snow lotuses were left.
Jiang Sheng hadn't finished picking them all, so he quickly retreated and shouted, "Retreat, Xiaobai, retreat quickly!"
The little mink was surrounded, and it stepped on the shadow snakes with its claws and bit the seven-inch one. Soon all three were bitten to death, and it ran away with the three shadow snakes in its mouth.
Several people ran towards the cave quickly. The shadow snakes at the entrance stood up and hissed at them, as if they wanted to bite them to death.
Jiang Sheng squatted down and collected the corpse of the shadow snake that Xiao Diao brought out. The shadow snake that can guard the snow lotus is full of treasures, and its venom sac can be made into poison.
The skin and flesh are good nourishing things and should not be wasted at all.
The little mink squeaked twice and tilted its head back as if asking for praise, which made several people laugh out loud. This time it was thanks to it, otherwise they would not have been able to escape unscathed.
He raised his hand and stroked its furry head, picked it up and said, "Let's go, let's find a way to get down the mountain."
It is difficult to go up the mountain but easy to go down. They reached the foot of the mountain before dark. Jiang Sheng was holding the little mink and was about to turn over and ride on the horse when the little thing in his arms jumped out.
It climbed up the tree branch and just looked at him with reluctance in its eyes, but it couldn't leave because this was its home.
Jiang Sheng was also stunned when he saw this, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you come with me? Didn't we agree before that I would keep you well fed and well fed? Why don't you leave again?"
The little mink sat on a tree branch and shook his head. He pointed to the top of the mountain and shook his paw, signaling them to leave the dried meat behind.
"You... want meat?"
"Okay, then we'll stay at the foot of the mountain for one night. I'll make you some extra dried meat. If you want to eat it, come down the mountain and eat it. We'll see each other again sometime."
Jiang Sheng said this with some reluctance. It would be difficult to meet such a smart little guy again next time.
"Squeak"
