Paradise

"Brother, what do you think I brought back?" Lin Bao trotted all the way into the yard, his face beaming with joy, his hands folded in front of his chest, bulging, and he didn't know what he was holding.

"What are you bringing, so happy?" Lin Yu raised her head and asked, scrubbing the clothes in her hands.

Lin Bao came to Lin Yu, grabbed a small yellow thing with both hands, and threw it in front of Lin Yu's eyes, "Brother Dong gave me a puppy, from his rhubarb, it's less than two months old, you Look at how cute it is, let's raise it, brother."

I saw this little puppy in front of me with soft yellow fur, the tip of its ears and the tip of its tail were black, its body was soft, it opened a pair of wet eyes, and stretched out its pink and tender tongue to lick its black hair. With a small nose, he yelled "ahhh" to Lin Yu, it was so cute, Lin Yu's heart melted, and he stretched out his hand to touch the puppy's head,

"You can stay if you like."

"Great!" Lin Bao cheered happily, "Brother, let's give it a name. What do you call it? How about Huangmao? Haha, let's call it Huangmao."

Lin Yu: "" I don't think the name sounds good, but seeing that his younger brother likes it, he just let him go.

"Why did Brother Dong think of giving you the pup, did his parents agree?"

"Of course I agree. I have helped Brother Dong a lot. Dahu and those boys bullied him. I taught them a lesson for him. I beat them all to the ground. Hmph, telling them to bully others deserves it." Lin Bao He straightened his chest and looked proud.

Lin Yu's face darkened, "Why, you went to fight with someone."

Lin Bao's small face changed, and he thought, "Oh shit, why did you say this when you were happy, and seeing Lin Yu's face, he was really angry, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Brother, I was wrong, don't be angry, and I will not be angry in the future. I just don’t beat them, they beat me before, but now they can’t beat me, hehe, the boxing skills taught to me by brother Zhou are really useful, they are not my opponents.” As he spoke, Lin Bao was proud again Seeing that Lin Yu was staring at him, she quickly withdrew her smile,

But he muttered in his mouth, "You can't blame me, they did it first. I can't watch Brother Dong get beaten, right? He's a little brother, what if he gets beaten."

Lin Yu looked at the sophistry Lin Bao and laughed angrily. Thinking of the past when Lin Bao was bullied and angry, he always kept silent, unlike his small mouth now, which is so eloquent that he can even speak stubbornly.

"Tsk, our little treasure has grown up, and we all know how to protect the little brother. Do you like Brother Dong? Let me think about it. Brother Dong seems to be one year younger than you. He is a beautiful little brother."

"Brother" Lin Bao blushed, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Haha" Lin Yu laughed, and then said, "Brother Zhou taught you boxing so that you can develop your skills, but you can't bully others just because you know how to box, you know?"

"I see, brother," Lin Bao looked at the sun that was about to set, "I don't know if Brother Zhou will come back tonight?"

Hearing what he said, Lin Yu showed a look of worry on his face, "Brother Zhou said that he will go into the depths of the mountain this time. It will take two days at least, and he will come back in three or four days at most. Today is only the first day. How could it be?" return."

Lin Yu was right. Zhou Ze entered the mountain alone early in the morning, and he didn't even think about asking others to join him. More, it will be more convenient to move.

Zhou Ze wanted to explore this Luoxia Mountain. He was really curious about his Limonium Limonium. Since he couldn't find it outside, he had to go to the depths of the mountain to find it.

At this moment, Zhou Ze has already climbed over the mountain he and Liu Changwang entered last time, and entered a higher mountain. The trees here are very tall, and the canopy is lush and dense. Few people have entered here. , There is no way at all, Zhou Ze can only walk out a way by himself, he carefully avoids the beasts and animals in the mountains, trying not to disturb him, while looking for traces of Limonium.

Zhou Ze found five Limonium plants in the big mountain they had been to before, and these Limonium plants were much larger than the one Lin Yu and the others found before. He still remembered that Lin Bao said that the Limonium Plant Counting the money, the tree they found only had six leaves, but the blood-blood plants he dug up were not. The least one had more than a dozen leaves, and the most had more than twenty leaves.

It seems that there are very few people who have entered the depths of this mountain. It is precisely because no one digs and collects that these blood-blood plants can grow vigorously, otherwise these blood-blood plants would not have grown so many leaves.

When Zhou Ze was digging a limonium with more than [-] leaves, some small accidents happened, because there was a green snake hidden not far from the limonium. When he was about to dig the limonium, It jumped out suddenly and almost bit his hand. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance, and quickly dodged it. The green snake fell to the ground, raised its upper body, raised its head and spit out the letter, making a hissing sound, staring at a pair of eyes. The cold red eyes stared straight at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze couldn't help being startled when he met those red eyes, and thought, is this also a strange beast? It is said that this strange beast is mutated by eating herbs, so this snake guards the blood-blood plant, Do you want to eat it too?Zhou Ze had all kinds of doubts in his heart, but he couldn't get an answer.

The snake stared at Zhou Ze, ready to strike again at any time, Zhou Ze would not just sit still, his body jumped back quickly, the snake saw him move, and with a force from its tail, it bounced and leaped towards Zhou Ze. Come on, Zhou Ze saw the timing, waved the machete in his hand, raised the knife, and cut the leaping snake in two. The first half of the snake continued to rush towards Zhou Ze by inertia, and wanted to bite him with its mouth open. a mouthful.

This strange beast was indeed difficult to deal with. Zhou Ze's other hand turned into a palm and struck down on the snake's head. He smashed half of its body on the ground, and the snake's head was smashed. This is dead and can't die anymore.

Zhou Ze let out a breath, stepped forward to dig out the blood limonium, wrapped it in cloth, put it on his back, looked at the dead snake on the ground, thought that the strange wolf had given him 20 taels of silver, although this snake was not as good as a wolf, It should be worth some money, so Zhou Ze picked up the dead snake and dealt with it briefly to cover up the smell of blood, and took it away with him.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhou Ze climbed up a big tree, stood on a thick branch, and looked around. Standing high and looking far away, he wanted to find a suitable place to spend the night. After several searches, he found it. A cave, not too far from here, he decided to go and have a look, and if it was suitable, he planned to spend the night there.

Because he had been attacked by snakes before, Zhou Ze was more careful this time than before. He carefully observed the surroundings of the cave, and he made sure that there were no animal footprints or special smells, so he went to the cave. This cave is not big, only It was half the size of a room, and the entrance of the cave was as tall as a person. There was a green vine outside the cave, covering half of the entrance of the cave. There were some gravel and some relatively large stones in the cave, and there were some rotten branches and leaves on the ground.

Zhou Ze simply cleaned up the ground with branches, cleared out a place to stay, picked up some dry grass and branches, and lit a bonfire in the cave to keep out the cold. The temperature in the mountains is much lower than that of the mountains, especially It is night time.

Zhou Ze brought dry food, and the water he brought was finished. He found spring water in the mountains, filled the bamboo tubes, and had a simple dinner. Zhou Ze went out of the cave and set up several traps around the cave. The danger is not great, but it can serve as an early warning.

After making the arrangements, Zhou Ze went back to the cave, sat in front of the fire, and his eyes fell on the dead snake at his feet. His heart moved, and he remembered that when he was doing intensive training in the wild, only the minimum food was provided at that time. But it took several days. He and his comrades tried their best for food. Rats, snakes, rabbits, whatever they could catch became their rations.

Looking at the snake under his feet, Zhou Ze wondered whether this snake could be eaten. Judging by the color of the snake, he didn't seem to be poisonous, so he thought about giving it a try. Take out the internal organs, peel off the skin, rinse it briefly, string it on the branches, and grill it directly on the fire.

After a while, the body of the snake was roasted brown, exuding a strong smell of meat, Zhou Ze had never smelled such a smell, and couldn't help moving his index finger, but he was very cautious after all, seeing a small The mouse was rustling at the entrance of the cave, poking its head, as if attracted by the scent, Zhou Ze tore off a piece of snake meat and threw it towards the entrance of the cave. The mouse was startled and ran away with a whoosh. Dangerous, and unable to bear the temptation of the scent, he ran back again, holding the piece of snake meat on the ground and gnawing on it.

The mouse ate the snake meat, and nothing happened. Instead, it became more energetic, even more courageous, and even crawled into the cave. Because it was afraid of the bonfire, it didn't dare to come to Zhou Ze's side. Turned around a few times, anxiously "squeaked" a few times.

With the help of the bonfire, Zhou Ze could see the appearance of the little mouse clearly. Before, he could only see that it was a mouse when he was far away. Only now did Zhou Ze realize that this mouse was not that ordinary. Half the size of a palm, not the brown-gray color of a house mouse, but milky white, with a touch of black on the top of the head, bulging cheeks, somewhat like a hamster, with big, black eyes, and a long tail behind it , There is also a heart-like tail, which is also black, both head and tail are black, it looks quite cute.

Such a cute and fluffy little thing, Ayu would probably like it, Zhou Ze suddenly had an urge to catch this little mouse back.
