As soon as the sky dawned, Nannan woke up. Her big eyes were not sleepy, and the corners of her mouth were curved as she stared at the hazy sky outside the window. She mentally estimated the time and quietly waited for her brother to wake up.
Today, my brother is taking her to Yancheng!
But even though we said we were going today, because the village is located in the wilderness, it would still take two or three days to get to the nearest Yancheng by walking.
For Nannan, this will be her first time going somewhere outside the village.
At this time, there was movement on my brother's bed. Seeing this, Nannan hurriedly closed her eyes, which were spinning wildly.
If his brother discovers that he didn't sleep well, he will definitely be told. The best thing to do is to wait for his brother to wake him up.
But how could the young man not know what his sister was thinking? Last night, just by listening to the sound of his sister tossing and turning, he knew that she must be too excited to sleep.
"Okay, Nannan, I know you must be awake. Get up and wash up. Let's finish our meal and prepare some dry food for the road before setting off." came the helpless voice of the young man.
"Well, I was discovered." Nannan opened her eyes and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Then she got up quickly, made the bed, got dressed, and expertly tied a very standard braid - it could be seen that she just wanted her brother to do it for her yesterday - and then skipped to scoop out Washed up with water.
Seeing his sister's excitement, the boy smiled and started cooking porridge as usual. At the same time, he took out some dry food and charcoal for fire, and carefully wrapped them in cloth.
In the past, when my sister was young, the boy often went to Yancheng by himself to buy some daily necessities, so he was quite familiar with the road.
Taking my sister with me on this trip not only gives me an extra mouth to eat, but also a lot of things to consider. For example, the place to sleep at night may be more comfortable, and I need to help my sister drive away mosquitoes at night, etc.
Self-defense is also very important. You must also carry the hatchet for chopping medicine, as well as a water source. One kettle may not be enough. It seems that you will have to carry two...
Just when the boy's thoughts were racing, his sister's voice brought him back to reality.
"Brother, Nannan has packed up."
He smiled fondly, and the porridge was almost ready. "Nanny, be good, dinner will be served soon."
After breakfast, two figures, one large and one small, left the village under the dim morning light.
Before leaving, Nannan did not forget to put the bronze ring on her hand.
The mountains, ravines, and jagged rocks are the most realistic portrayal of the mountains in this wilderness.
On the edge of a steep cliff, a boy and a little girl walked cautiously.
If you are not careful, you will fall into the bottomless valley next to you. And this narrow path built on the edge of the cliff is the only way for villagers to get out of the mountains.
They had already walked for more than half a day, following the route in their memory, passing through this steep winding path, and then passing through a section of primeval forest. After reaching the open area, they could find a special post station and take a carriage to Yancheng. .
Of course walking is also possible. If he didn't take his sister with him, the boy would naturally choose to walk.
only……
"Huh..." After walking through the last section of the winding path and reaching the flat ground, Nannan sat down on the ground.
"It's such a scary journey. If only my daughter could fly, my brother and my daughter wouldn't have to go through such trouble." As he said this, he wiped his sweat and was still frightened by the journey just now.
The young man touched his sister's head, then took out a red fruit and gave it to her.
"Nannan is really great. My brother was not as brave as Nannan when he first walked this road." He looked towards the jungle in the distance, "It is more dangerous to spend the night in the jungle at night. We will spend the night here tonight. "
"Howling Guo Guo." Nannan responded vaguely with her mouth full of fruit.
The camp was set up extremely smoothly and the campfire was successfully lit. It was the afternoon and the sky was still bright. The boy decided to pick some wild fruits and eat them with dry food.
"Nanny, let's go find some more fruits." The boy called to the little girl. Upon hearing this, the latter stopped playing with the unlucky grasshopper he had just caught and followed him.
The jungle on the edge of the mountain is different from the gloomy and solemn depths of the mountain. Instead, it reveals a vibrant atmosphere.
There are no towering ancient trees like those in the deep mountains and old forests. All you can see are lush low trees. Birdsong echoes in every corner of the forest. As the boy and the little girl go deeper, there are birds that are frightened from time to time. Fly away with flutter.
The fish in the stream turn their white bellies, and the squirrels climb up and down the vines. In some dark and damp corners, there are also various strange and poisonous insects quietly dormant, waiting for the unlucky ones to come to your door.
In such a world full of spiritual energy, this area has existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years at least, but only a very small number of creatures have first developed spiritual wisdom. This is undoubtedly an abnormal thing.
But for teenagers and little girls at this time, this is undoubtedly the best. Naturally, they would not be aware of this, they would just search for suitable fruits and eat them while walking.
"Hiccup..." Nannan burped, "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat. There are so many fruits that I can't eat any more."
After picking all the fruits along the way, the boy handed all the fresh-looking and big and plump fruits to Nannan, and said that she could eat as much as she wanted because there were still many in the whole forest.
Fruits nourished by spiritual energy are not ordinary. She ate them one after another... and then she was full.
"Brother, let's take a rest! Nannan can't walk anymore!" Nannan begged with a cry.
How could the young man not agree? He nodded, then picked off a few thick leaves and laid a temporary cushion for his sister.
Nannan sat down on it and let out a long sigh of relief.
Before the two of them could speak, there was a "bang", and something hit the leaf-covered ground beside Nannan from the shade of the tree above their heads.
