You can't see these wild animals on the outskirts of the mountain, this is already the inner area of ​​the mountain.

The outskirts of the mountain are a somewhat desolate scene, with only sparse weeds growing tenaciously.

The inner part of the mountain presents another terrifying scene.

The trees here block out the sun, and the dense branches and leaves are intertwined to form a green sky, almost completely blocking out the sunlight.

The woods were filled with a damp and decaying smell, and the ground was covered with thick layers of fallen leaves, which gave off a pungent smell.

Poisonous insects, snakes and ants are rampant in this dark and humid environment. They hide under fallen leaves or perch on tree trunks, ready to launch a fatal attack on intruders at any time.

Wild wolves were moving through the woods, their deep growls echoing through the trees.

The beasts are lurking in the dark, and every move they make carries a deadly threat.

Wild boars also roam the area, their rough fur covered in dirt and weeds, their sharp fangs looking particularly ferocious.

As soon as they entered the inner area, they heard the howling of wild wolves, and the women hugged each other in fear.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Ya felt their legs go weak. They held hands and kept comforting each other.

Naitang looked at them in confusion and squeaked a few times. Zhao Qiaoniang always felt that it was mocking them.

They held machetes in their hands and followed Naitang slowly forward. Water was very important, so their backpacks were all filled with bamboo tubes.

Today's mountain road is rugged and uneven, covered with stones of various sizes and deep and shallow gullies.

Every step requires extreme caution, as the soil under your feet is sometimes soft and sometimes hard enough to hurt your feet.

Sweat soaked their clothes and their breathing became rapid.

We walked like this for more than half an hour before finally reaching a small mountain stream.

The crisp sound of the stream reached her ears, and Zhao Qiaoniang exclaimed softly, "Water, there really is water..."

The stream is not turbulent and even shows signs of drying up.

The stream flows shallowly, with a few fallen leaves and some small dead branches occasionally floating on the water.

They were no longer able to care about many things at the moment, and several of them quickly took out bamboo tubes from their backpacks.

They carefully approached the stream, squatted down, and slowly placed the bamboo tube into the water.

Because the stream was not deep, they needed to place the mouth of the bamboo tube as close to the bottom of the water as possible so that the water could flow in slowly.

Every movement was made with extreme caution, for fear of making too much noise and muddying the stream.

The stream water slowly flows into the bamboo tube, making a slight "gurgling" sound.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the surrounding environment with a torch. This should have been a relatively large stream in the past, but now there is only a little water left.

Before long, the stream dried up completely.

Not far from the stream grew some wild vegetables, such as purslane and shepherd's purse. She said with a look of surprise, "Mulan, come quickly and dig some wild vegetables..."

Mulan was amazed when she saw all these wild vegetables. "There are so many, we can't dig them all, we can't dig them all..."

That night, they stopped digging and their backpacks were filled with wild vegetables.

Zhao Qiaoniang even found two kinds of mushrooms, pine mushrooms and straw mushrooms. They didn't dare to eat mushrooms they didn't recognize.

Coincidentally, they knew both types of mushrooms, and when they returned to the camp, it was already dawn.

Madam Bai couldn't sleep either, so she got up early in the morning to make porridge. While she was cooking, she looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "What's wrong? You can't sleep either? Are you worried about your mother?"

Lin Wanwan cried out "Ahhh" a few times, but she was actually really anxious.

Fortunately, Zhao Qiaoniang and the others returned. Madam Bai smiled and said, "Thank goodness you're back. The little guy was so worried."

Zhao Qiaoniang took out a piece of cloth and said, "I washed her diapers and clothes, and also dug up a lot of wild vegetables."

Mrs. Bai saw several bamboo baskets filled with wild vegetables. "Oh my! These wild vegetables are so tender! If they could be used to make dumplings, how delicious they would be!"

Lin Wanwan smacked her lips. She didn’t like eating dumplings in her previous life, but now she wanted to eat them very badly.

Especially when I saw those mushrooms, I really couldn’t imagine what it would be like if I put some mushrooms in this wild vegetable.

If we put some meat in here, especially since pork is now pure natural and pollution-free, how great would it taste?

Add some more vinegar, and a little more chili pepper, this...

"Ouch! The little one is drooling again." Mrs. Bai wiped her saliva with a handkerchief.

Lin Wanwan's face turned red. In her previous life, she was already in her 40s, but she could still be so greedy. In her previous life, she did not get married until she was in her 40s and devoted herself to her career.

Those of her age are already mothers, but she is still single. She has looked for men before, and there are a few she likes, but after getting along with them, she feels that these men are either selfish or have a tendency to domestic violence.

Of course, it’s not that there are no good ones, but she just hasn’t met them. Once a woman is over 40, she no longer has the desire to look for one.

She was in a place like a hospital, where she came into contact with many people and saw many things, and the dark side of human nature was fully displayed here.

This kind of darkness is not much worse than the one on the road of fleeing famine.

So she gradually gave up the idea of ​​getting married, worked hard, and finally became a chief physician. Then she was demoted to this dynasty, a dynasty she had never heard of.

Lin Wanwan sighed. After Zhao Qiaoniang finished feeding her, she smiled and said, "The little one has grown much stronger now. When she was just born, she was like a kitten."

Mrs. Bai gently wiped Lin Wanwan's face. She usually wouldn't be willing to wipe her face like this, but now she had gone to the mountains and found some water!

So they indulged themselves a bit, and after finishing their meal, they packed up everything and prepared to set off.

Then I saw people from Wangjia Village stumbling down the mountain...

Village Chief Wang's face darkened: "What's wrong with you?"

"Yesterday we were in the mountains, we were hit with clubs, and our money was stolen." The men in Wangjia Village were shaking with anger.

They had saved these dozens of copper coins for a long time, but they were stolen overnight.

Village Chief Wang frowned and said, "Did you see clearly who it was?"

The men shook their heads. Someone looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said, "I heard that Zhao Qiaoniang and her friends also went into the mountains. Maybe they did it."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them and said:

"I don't know you guys well, why would I hit you?

What's more, there were so many people going up the mountain yesterday, almost every household went up the mountain, do you think we are the easiest to bully?"

Mulan held up the big knife and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll chop off your head."

The man was trembling with fear. Village Chief Wang coughed and said, "As long as he's alright, let's get on with our journey."
