Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 43: Spending the Night in the Miasma Forest

Everyone was waiting anxiously. It had been an hour, but the three men hadn't come back yet! Gu Meihua and Gu Meili were in the center of the Ma family's group, craning their necks and waiting anxiously. They were cursing in their hearts, "These two little brats only know how to show off. They deserve to be dragged away by the monster!"

There was a commotion in the team ahead, and three people came back. Gu Xiaolian took two quick steps and ran to the front. Her hair was tied into a ponytail like her elder sister, swinging back and forth as she danced. Her words were filled with concern and curiosity: "Hey, second brother, what are you doing taking you so long? You really made me anxious."

Gu Wenzhi touched his little sister's ponytail and said with a smile: "There is a giant snake with a length of five meters over there, fighting with a tiger. We killed the giant snake while they are both injured! The tiger also ran away! There is no danger for the time being, we have to get out quickly!"

Gu Xiaolian's eyes widened, her mouth opened into an "oh" shape, and she frowned again, looking up and down at her second brother and then looking back and forth at her sister. Her concern warmed the hearts of the brother and sister! Seeing that the brother and sister were fine, she said, "Second brother, go talk to Grandpa Ma and see if there are any arrangements!"

Gu Dalian held her sister's hand and stood aside, while Gu Wenzhi and Luo Feimo went to see Ma Youren and explained the situation ahead. Everyone had rested for quite some time and had recovered a lot of their strength, so to prevent any accidents, they continued to move forward!

Ma Nanfeng and Ma Sanbao took turns in the front, and with the help of the Gu family members, two more people were transferred to the end of the team. The others with higher martial arts skills were on both sides of the team, and the speed of advancement became much faster!

The only sound you can hear is the sound of footsteps. The atmosphere is really weird, and a pungent and unpleasant smell fills your nose. Everyone is challenging themselves to their limits. Only success is allowed, not failure!

In a vast forest full of miasma, a group of people wearing all kinds of strange scarves staggered! Some of them did not use equal strength, and one of them fell forward, supporting himself with his hands first, and when he lifted his hands, they were covered with sour and rotten things. He did not dare to stop, and climbed up with difficulty, shaking off the dirt on his hands while lifting his feet, for fear that the people following behind would accidentally knock him down again!

It was even more difficult for the children to walk. They lifted their left foot a little and took a step forward. Their dragging feet felt like they were wearing shoes weighing thousands of pounds. Each of them lowered their heads, bent their waists and leaned forward slightly. With every step, they were in danger of falling! Even with adults on both sides supporting them, they still walked unsteadily!

Ma Youren was in the middle of the team, Luo Feimo and Ma Mingli were on both sides, and Ma Xiaolian was behind! Everyone had a black scarf on their face, which was quite majestic and depressing. They could not go far on the fast track. The last ray of light in the dark forest was swallowed by the night. This fear from the unknown made people feel tired. Everyone pricked up their ears to listen all the time, and moved forward with their hands and feet. Every pore was exhausted!

Ma Nanfeng had warned everyone in advance that they could not light a fire after entering the miasma forest, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. They had already walked for a day and were tired and hungry. The night in the forest was gloomy and damp. Everyone was trembling with exhaustion and wanted to collapse directly and not think about anything. Unfortunately, the reality was too cruel. They had to grit their teeth and persevere to have hope!

Suddenly, good news came from the front. We found a place to rest temporarily. We will spend the night here! This place should be where the giant snake fought. A forest of Hengda has fallen to the ground. The earthquake has obviously weakened. A group of men patrolled around and knocked carefully with tree sticks to make sure there is no danger. Although we can't lie down to rest tonight, we can sit on the crooked tree and rest our feet that are as heavy as a thousand pounds. This is already quite satisfying!

Everyone cleaned their hands and took out the dry food they had prepared in advance. Every bite they took felt like they had saved half their lives! Gu Dalian pulled her sister and jumped onto a big tree. She bundled a few more bunches of the seven-bead grass in the space and placed them on the branches around them. Although she was not afraid of the poisonous creatures in the miasma forest, she did not want to be disturbed!

It's a dark and windy night, perfect for some fun! Hey, it's always a good idea to get some food!

Take out four boxes of fragrant milk tea from the refrigerator, brew them and let them dry, and steam a pot of long-grain fragrant rice! In the meantime, take out a box of tender tofu, cut it into small cubes, put it in a bowl for later use, smash the 10 grams of ginger that I prepared and cut it into minced ginger, mince three garlic cloves, cut a few scallions, cut the scallion whites into chopped green onions, and cut the green onions into sections!

Prepare half a green pepper, cut it into small pieces, and half a red pepper, cut it into small pieces. Start adding a little cooking oil, stir-fry the seasoning on low heat until fragrant, add a spoonful of bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant, then add half water to season, an appropriate amount of raw pepper, a little dark soy sauce and an appropriate amount of oyster sauce, an appropriate amount of salt, and a little pepper!

Put the tofu that has been cooked and drained in advance into the pot, simmer for five minutes on low heat until it absorbs the flavor, add the green and red peppers, then pour in water starch to thicken, slowly thicken it two or three times, and the fragrant home-cooked braised tofu is ready!

Make a fried eggplant, and you have two dishes and one soup. Each person has a plate of rice, and then put the homemade tofu and fried eggplant on top. The simple rice bowl is done!

Invite Gu Wenzhi and Luo Feimo to the top of a big tree, eat and drink together, it's so comfortable!

Luo Feimo found that every time this woman brought out a meal, it was so delicious that one could swallow it with one's tongue! The person who ate it was extremely satisfied! In the dark night, although he couldn't see the face of the pretty girl, he could smell the faint floral scent on her body in the wind, and recall her wantonly and bright smile in his mind. This feeling made his heavy heart feel a lot lighter!

After the two boys finished eating, they jumped down from the tree and returned to their night duty posts. Gu Dalian took out a thin blanket and covered his sister with it to let her rest. He then went into the space to check on his contracted beast!

The space was expanded by another 80 square meters. Gu Dalian had not yet decided what to plant, so she just planted the remaining peach pits. Unexpectedly, the peach tree had grown to one meter high, and the rest of the space was left empty!

Gu Dalian placed the mattresses from the two secondary bedrooms side by side in the open space. The two-meter by four-meter area was not big enough for Xiaoxue's huge body, so she also spliced ​​the carpet in the living room and laid a thick mattress on top. Now Xiaoxue had a place to stay. Xiaohong lay on her side next to Xiaoxue, and the two disabled people had a companion!

Gu Dalian carefully checked the seriously injured Xiao Hong. The bleeding had stopped and the fur had become smoother and softer. The fire fox raised his head with gratitude in his eyes! He communicated with Gu Dalian with his mind: "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for you, Xiao Hong would have died today. I have no way to repay you in this life, so I can only repay you with my body!"

Gu Dalian's mind was filled with black lines. What kind of lewd words were these? A beast wanted to pledge its love to a fox? Did it mean that a human and a fox were in love? Gu Dalian shuddered all over. She felt it was too horrible! But Xiao Hong's eyes were filled with disbelief: "My master, what are you thinking about? Xiao Hong means that if you are alive, you are the master's fox, and if you die, you are the master's ghost!"

Gu Dalian smiled awkwardly and turned to look at Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue's huge body was lying on the mattress on its side with its front legs tied up. She dared not move. Her big head was resting on the mattress and she let out a low growl!
