Chapter 46 Entering the Mountain

Xu Qing was right. The people from the development reserve arrived the day after Xu Qing arrived. Everyone thought there would be a big change, but who knew that there was nothing big. The main thing was to maintain the original ecology. They installed several signs to clean the roads into the mountain, lay bluestone slabs, and repaired the reservoir. In fact, it was just a few bags of cement. The development was completed in a few days.

Before the villagers could react, they had already gone back. When they left, they buried a sign at the entrance of Yinshuiwan Village, Yinshuiwan Reservoir Red-Crowned Crane Protection Area.

It turns out that ecological development is so simple. Tian Qingshan hasn't figured it out for a few days, but at least the mountain roads in the mountains have been cleaned up. The bluestones are all pulled up by the stream in the mountains. It takes only local materials and there is no effort. More than a hundred people in the village work together. The city has not treated it badly. Each person costs 40 yuan a day. Unfortunately, the time is short and there are less than five days. The road has been repaired.

Haha, we will be protected animals living in the reserve from now on. Tian Qingshan looked at the sign and joked that it was not the entire village that became part of the reserve.

Let's go, uncle, you promised to accompany me into the mountain today. Xu Qing saw Tian Qingshan standing at the entrance of the village and was only thinking about the sign, so she couldn't help but urged her.

Miss Xu, you said you should be your guardian of the reserve honestly and have to go into the mountain. Why do you know that the deep mountains here are here, but no one has entered the primeval forest for decades. There are jackals, tigers, leopards, violent bears and poisonous snakes, and any ferocious beasts that may appear. If you don’t do it properly, you will throw your life inside. Tian Qingshan tried his best to persuade Xu Qing, who was determined to enter the mountain.

Isn't you there? I heard that your kung fu is very good. Xu Qing said with a smile

But with you a delicate girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you by then. Tian Qingshan is a little helpless

It's okay, uncle, at worst, we can avoid it when we encounter danger, or come back. I just want to go and count what animals there are in this reserve. Just take me in. Xu Qing pulled Tian Qingshan's arm and shook it and acted coquettishly.

OK, I'm afraid of you, but remember to listen to me after entering the mountain. Tian Qingshan said seriously

Yes, uncle, I guarantee everything to follow the command. Xu Qing raised her hand playfully and saluted. The smile made Tian Qingshan's heart beat. This girl is a rare beauty at a young age. Not only is her name the same as a star on TV, but her appearance is not inferior. She has a deep dimples on her fair and jade-like face. When she smiles, she can't help but get intoxicated.

As we go deeper and deeper, the mountain road is becoming more and more difficult to walk. Tian Qingshan is walking in front, waving a hatchet to split a road. The dense forests are full of vines and weeds.

He asked Dahei to open the road in front, which could minimize the danger. The entire mountain road was full of vines. At first, Tian Qingshan was very fast. After walking less than two miles, the speed slowly slowed down.

There are too many trees here. Let's look at the small lake. Let's walk along this stream. Tian Qingshan looked around. There was no road here at all. This forest was full of branches, vines, and shrubs. It was not like when I came. It was an abandoned mountain road. There were only vines blocking the road, and the branches were fine, but now there were dense branches in front of me, and the entire road ahead was closed and dense.

Yes, I'm following this stream. Tian Qingshan observed the surroundings and recalled the mountain road walking route left by the old hunters in the village. This road was an old road taken in the past to hunt in the mountains. The stream was very shallow, with messy gravel, and there were landslides from time to time. This place must be the original gravel field.

Xu Qing, stop. Tian Qingshan, who was walking in front, suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Xu Qing behind him.

What's wrong? Something happened. Xu Qing heard the strange cry of Dahei

Don't move, I'll take a look. Tian Qingshan cut off the branches blocking the road in front of him. A few vines blocked the way. Tian Qingshan waved his hatchet, and eight-point force did not cut it off. These vines were too strong. Although Tian Qingshan only used eight-point force, he had at least ten-point force compared to ordinary people.

Uncle, is it okay? Xu Qing is a little worried behind

It's okay. Tian Qingshan looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head and smiled bitterly. Why did he meet these things on the first day? He was so unprotective. He played anywhere. Tian Qingshan took his backpack and took out a stack of yellow paper. He lit it speechlessly, burned it all carefully. He bowed. Don't blame him, don't blame him.

How about it, there is nothing in front of you? Xu Qing looked at Tian Qingshan walking back with a bad look and asked worriedly

Nothing, let's go, let's take a detour from here, there is no way to go ahead

Really, you didn't lie to us, why did I smell the burnt smell? Did you do something just now? Xu Qing was very suspicious and turned around and ran forward a few steps

Ah Before Tian Qingshan came, what should he say? A huge cry sounded, shocking countless birds, pheasants, small animals, and the whole forest was rustling.

Stop calling, come back soon. Tian Qingshan really doesn't know what to say. Why haven't this girl listened to herself for a long time? The scene in front of her really makes her scalp tingle. More than ten snakes, two meters long, intertwined in two groups. Needless to say, Tian Qingshan didn't expect that he would only enter the mountain for fifty or sixty miles to see such a scene. It is the most unlucky thing for people to meet snake mating. They have to burn yellow paper to get rid of the bad luck.

Yes, the two of them slowly retreated, and the snake in front of them did not move. Xu Qing took a photo, made a record, and asked in a low voice that the snake's hearing was not very good. Besides, when the snake mates, we rarely move. We stood in the lower vent, and the smell could not float in front. Tian Qingshan explained that there were stone rock-broken snakes in the mountains in front of us, one of the poisonous snakes. Although these venoms cannot kill people, this kind of poisonous snake is the most afraid of seeing.

This snake is the most weird. If you bite you, it may be fine for a long time. The longest may be one day, not found in two days. Moreover, the venomous fangs are extremely small. Even if a person is bitten, if he does not see the snake, he will probably think it is an ant or a branch pricks the snake. There is no sign of venom last night. The attack time is short, causing serious local necrosis.

Let's go around here. There seem to be many snakes on this mountain. Tian Qingshan can see from the reaction of Dahei that there are many snakes hidden on the low-high mountain in front of him. He and Xu Qing may be accidentally attacked by poisonous snakes. Although it is a bit troublesome, this is the safest method.

The next section of the road, the two of them walked very quickly and finally walked out of the forest before twelve:30. The two of them walked to a river valley. The terrain suddenly became flat. The silver crystal clear blue lake appeared in front of them. It was not a lake, but there was a flat place not far from the lake.

So beautiful, Xu Qing couldn't help but exclaim

Take a break, I'll get some food first. Tian Qingshan explained

It is rare to find this quiet place, facing the lake, surrounded by mountains and forests, and birds circling in the sky, and three or two small animals run out from time to time.

Tian Qingshan saw three little foxes during this time. These little things looked at them from a distance and ran into the bushes with a whoosh. It seemed that this place was where animals drink water. Tian Qingshan felt tight and looked around. There were no claws of large animals, and there were many claws. They were extremely messy, but they were still small animals.

Judging from the riverside marks, some animals that were suspected to be deer, and some messy hoof marks. It seems that they should be small animals, rabbits and squirrels. As for some small claw marks, Tian Qingshan couldn't understand it. It was a bit like there were too many pheasants and a little messy. Tian Qingshan looked at his location, which was a distance from here. It was not on the road to drinking water for animals. After all, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Qingshan thought that this place was really good. It was surrounded by places where animals gathered, with plump water and abundant animals.

Dahei came out of the woods in the distance, and he was holding a pheasant in his mouth, which made Tian Qingshan very excited. He could make a pheasant meat at noon.

Tian Qingshan ran to the lake again and prepared to catch two fish and cook.

The little girl Xu Qing rested for a while, held her camera and looked for nearby animals and birds, busy taking photos and making records.

Ah A short scream suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests. Tian Qingshan felt nervous and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came.

No, Tian Qingshan's heart sank. Xu Qing, who had originally recorded the animal species around him, has disappeared now

Tian Qingshan didn't even bother to think about it, threw down the fish in his hand and quickly ran towards the place where Xu Qing disappeared.

Through a dense tree, Tian Qingshan saw something unusual near a hillside, and the lush green grass on the ground seemed a little unusual.

He hurried over to check it out, and when he got in front of him, he found that a deep hole appeared among the grass.

It turned out that there was a cave here, but the entrance was slowly covered by grass. Xu Qing accidentally fell from here and fell into it, and the entrance was also revealed.

Tian Qingshan looked into the cave and found it was a little dark inside. It was obvious that the cave was not shallow and could not see the situation inside clearly.

Xu Qing, how were you injured? Tian Qingshan shouted anxiously into the cave

Uncle, my legs hurt so much, it seemed to be broken. Xu Qing's voice filled with horror and pain came from the cave.

You wait and don't move first, I'll go down to save you immediately. Tian Qingshan quickly checked around, ran to a bunch of shrubs and cut some vines with a hatchet, quickly weaving these vines into a rope, tied one of them to a big tree near the entrance of the cave, and then he made some hay, wrapped it on a wooden stick, and made a simple torch. Then he grabbed the rope and slowly fell into the cave.

During the fall, Tian Qingshan found that although the cave was steep, it was not vertically up and down. There were some slopes, although this slope was really steep in the past, it was better than vertical caves.

The vines woven by Tian Qingshan were very long, but they still didn't reach the bottom after almost using it. This made him a little anxious, but fortunately he could see clearly the situation at the bottom of the cave.

It was not until the vines were used up that Tian Qingshan had barely reached the bottom of the cave. With the faint light cast from above, he saw Xu Qing lying on the ground with a look of pain, obviously falling from above and hurting his leg.

Xu Qing, how are you? Are you seriously injured? Tian Qingshan hurriedly landed beside Xu Qing, took out the lighter and lit the torch, and then squatted down to check Xu Qing's condition

My legs hurt so much, and my soreness penetrated into the cracks of my bones. I couldn't stand up anymore. Xu Qing said in a crying voice that she was a girl who grew up in the city. She had never encountered such a situation before. At this moment, she was filled with fear. Seeing Tian Qingshan as if she had found a support, she wanted to cry with a small mouth.

Don't worry, I'll help you see. I'm a doctor, I guarantee that you will cure the disease. In order to make Xu Qing feel at ease, Tian Qingshan deliberately said in a relaxed tone
