The mule was also so hot that it stuck out its tongue. Jiang Yue fed it water and put on a straw hat. It's a little bit of protection, she's afraid of being burned by the sun.
There was no sunscreen on my hands, so I had to wrap myself and Jiang Nian tightly from top to bottom, and then put on straw hats.
Although Jiang Nian repeatedly emphasized that he would not be sunburned, Jiang Yue insisted on being armed.
He has never had the right to speak, Jiang Yue is an authoritarian.
In fact, it's because Jiang Yue doesn't like black sports students. Jiang Nian is now a light wheat color, which is just in her aesthetic point. It will be bad if it goes any further~
Now that the sun rises early, they set out at the first light of Yinzheng (four o'clock in the morning).
On the way, the early morning breeze was blowing, which was quite comfortable.
Jiang Nian suddenly asked her to put on the mask, but she didn't know why.
Jiang Nian stared at the grass in front with indifferent eyes, "There are many corpses here, which are already rotting."
Jiang Yue was silent, it was like this in disaster years, there was not even a place to bury the corpse.
When the sky gets brighter, you can clearly see that the fields on the roadside are cracked and look like turtle shells. Only weed roots remained on it.
"Yueyue, sit still!"
Jiang Nian waved his whip with one hand and held the rope tightly with the other hand, driving suddenly faster.
"Please! Give me some water!"
"Uncle! Please give me something to eat!"
"please......"
Several refugees suddenly appeared on the roadside, asking for food and drink.
The mule cart was so fast that they couldn't keep up, so Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Those few people were skinny and looked at the mule and her with greedy eyes.
I don't know if these refugees are from the countryside of this prefecture or from other prefectures and counties.
During snowstorms, roads are blocked by heavy snow and they cannot escape. But it's hard to say now.
The two of them took the path at the foot of the back mountain and returned directly to the yard.
When she opened the courtyard door, Jiang Yue was surprised to see fallen leaves all over the ground. The house also collapsed and turned into a pile of broken vegetation. She happened to collect the firewood.
Fortunately, the tree enclosed by the yard had not yet fallen. She left a bucket full of water and food for the mule, and then followed Jiang Nian into the mountains.
It's past ten o'clock and it's already sunny.
Moreover, those refugees sounded the alarm in Jiang Yue's heart. They had to speed up their return to the city and could not stay in the mountains for too long.
After a year's absence, the mountain has changed drastically.
The trees at the foot of the mountain have been cut down, and there are not many grasses left.
After entering the mountains, the trees are still there, but the leaves have turned yellow and many weeds have dried up. There are far fewer birdsong.
They first went to find the previous waterfall pool. There was only a small flow of water left in the waterfall, but the water in the pool was still as high as half a person. It was a little cooler, and you could barely take a dip.
After driving all the way here, Jiang Nian was already wilting. He immediately transformed into a wolf and went into the water.
She has not seen Jiang Nian's wolf body since the weather got hotter. At this time, she was a little shocked.
This is too big.
Now he is no different from the giant bear he hunted before. I don’t know if it will grow longer in the future.
He entered the pool, and the water suddenly became less. He barely managed to turn over a few times, and then lay still.
Jiang Yue ignored him and just looked for herbs in the valley that were not available in her own space. Although she still doesn't know how to diagnose symptoms and prescribe medicine, she can now recognize many herbs and can recite their properties.
An hour later, the sound of grass being trampled came from the corner. Jiang Nian opened his eyes with a bloodthirsty light.
He raised his head and roared, signaling Jiang Yue to come back.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and Jiang Yue quickly took away the medicinal materials in her hands and ran back to the pool.
Jiang Nian slowly stood up and stared at the direction of the sound with his sharp eyes.
Within a few seconds, the sound gradually got closer, and a tiger jumped out with a low roar! The back is orange interspersed with black stripes, and the belly is white. This is an adult male tiger!
Jiang Yue took a deep breath. This tiger was about the same size as the previous giant bear. In other words, it is about the same age as Jiang Nian.
She retreated consciously, protected herself, and tried not to hold Jiang Nian back.
The tiger opened its huge mouth, exposed its canine teeth, and let out a deep roar.
Not to be outdone, Jiang Nian bared his sharp fangs and stared at the tiger intently, with a strong desire to hunt in his eyes.
Moved! The tiger jumped forward and rushed into the pool, trying to suppress Jiang Nian with its thick front paws.
Jiang Nian, on the other hand, refused to retreat, raised his front paws upwards, and with quick movements, he threw the tiger out in the blink of an eye and fell into the pool with a splash.
He pursued the victory, pressed the tiger's head with one paw, stepped on its chest with the other, and took a bite with his sharp fangs.
"Roar--"
When the tiger saw the blood, he became even more angry. His cry startled the animals in the forest and shook the earth.
It was very powerful and swayed from side to side, struggling to overcome Jiang Nian's constraints.
The water in the pool splashed, and the two sides faced off again.
This time it was Jiang Nian's turn to take the initiative. He half-pressed his body, jumped behind the tiger, and threw it to the ground when it was not prepared. Bite its neck hard again.
This time Jiang Nian tried his best, but the tiger couldn't get away. It gradually lost its movement and the water in the pond turned into blood.
Jiang Nian dragged it ashore, shook the water from his body, and transformed into a human body.
Seeing Jiang Yue come out, he licked the blood stains remaining on his fangs. The young man had won the battle and showed a sunny smile.
Jiang Yue: You are too wild!
She looked back and forth at the male tiger. He was very strong, estimated to weigh more than two hundred kilograms.
The first time he fought with a giant bear, Jiang Nian was seriously injured, but today, he actually won without any injuries!
Great progress, worth the reward of eating a few more eggs!
She kept the tiger and planned to wait until the critical moment to exchange it for something.
Now that there is no way to soak in the pond, the two of them have no choice but to continue their old trade, looking for herbs for those looking for herbs, and hunting for hunters.
The previous cave showed signs of being cleaned up, and there were more traps on the ground, with many rabbit corpses inside. It was probably dug by the village chief's family who came here to hunt.
Perhaps due to the weather, the vegetation in the mountains became sparse, and the herbs did not grow well.
The feedback from Jiang Nian was that the prey were all thin, had no meat, and were very crazy. He only hunted one sheep, one deer and two pheasants, which he said aggrievedly was not enough to fill his teeth.
Jiang Yue held her forehead, haven't you considered that your appetite is too big?
Not only did she collect herbs and mint, she also collected a lot of dry firewood for supplementation.
During the half-year-long winter, most of the firewood and charcoal stored in the house were lost. She is now considering stocking up on goods out of season. Can she buy charcoal at a charcoal store when she goes back? Negotiate a bargain?
The two entered the mountain late, so they could only rest in the cave for one night and rush back the next day.
It has to be said that Jiang Nian's sense of security is so great that she can actually sleep soundly in a mountain forest where there are fierce beasts like tigers...
