Traveling through ancient times

It is said that the old Gu family and the old Ma family joined together and rushed into Yingdang Mountain without hesitation.

No matter if they were exploring the way or the young and strong men guarding on both sides, everyone held a cane in their hands, and while walking forward, they scratched the grass on both sides to prevent poisonous snakes from suddenly jumping out and biting people!

After entering this old forest, the original heat was gone, and it was replaced by a chill.

When we first entered the forest, at least the sunlight was shining through the branches, so there was still some brightness and warmth.

But the further we went in, the darker the light became, and the temperature dropped significantly. Suddenly, we went from one extreme to another! The extreme heat turned into extreme cold!

For those who often go into the mountains, they have experience and have already listened to instructions and put on more clothes, so it won’t be too cold in this hot summer!

Gu Dalian held a crutch made of a tree branch in one hand and held Gu Xiaolian's hand with the other. As the last person in the team, he still had to pay attention to his presence at all times.

But he was eager to try it in his heart. A pair of eyes was not enough. There were many elderly, weak, women and children in the team, so the journey could not be fast. This just satisfied Gu Dalian's passion for treasure hunting!

Two sisters, one looks after the left side, the other looks after the right side! They are afraid of missing out on rare and precious herbs!

Actually, if you think about it carefully, what interesting things can there be when we first enter the forest? Not to mention mountain delicacies, we haven't even seen a rabbit!

After walking for a long time, even the common plantain, knotweed, fleabane, dodder, and red motherwort were nowhere to be seen!

It was like a basin of cold water, which directly poured cold water over Gu Dalian!

"Oh my god, what's going on? God, are you kidding me? I'm going into the mountains to look for treasure, not to train my legs! God, please open your eyes, at least let me pick some wild mushrooms!"

Gu Xiaolian looked at her sister's face, which looked like she had lost all hope in life. She gently waved her hand and blinked her big eyes:

"Sister, I heard Daddy say before that generally the good stuff in the mountains is not around. If you want to find the good stuff, you can't be afraid of hardship! Sister, don't be anxious!"

Looking at her sister's big fluttering eyes and an expression that says "I feel sorry for you", even though she knows she is comforting herself, Gu Dalian's heart is warmed!

Thinking about her past life, ever since her parents and grandma passed away, that scumbag seemed to only be able to coax her into buying a watch, a car and a house.

Even her so-called best friend, now thinking about it, was someone she met through that scumbag.

How stupid she was! Now that she thought about it, weren't the two of them just teaming up to seize her property?

Fortunately, I still have some rationality and have watched so many urban dramas that I am not without some precautions.

All the car and house deeds are in my name, haha, otherwise Room 601 may not appear in my space!

As I was thinking about this, I suddenly missed my Jeep Grand Cherokee, the latest folding phone that I had only used for a few days, and the country villa I just bought. Woohoo…

I don’t know if I can see them again after the upgrade!”

Thinking of this, Gu Dalian became passionate again. She rushed, rushed, rushed for her own garage!!!

The two sisters looked around, fiddled here, scratched there, and seemed to wish they could poke holes everywhere!

Gu Da and Gu San, who were in the front, kept looking back. Gu San stiffened his neck:

"Can you two walk faster? This isn't a game. You two are so heartless and don't act like ladies. You're walking so slowly. Aren't you afraid that a wolf will take you away?"

After hearing this, Gu Da turned his head, glanced at the two sisters, snorted and ignored them!

Gu Xiaolian rolled her eyes, which made Gu Dalian burst out laughing. His little sister was so adorable that she actually learned the eye-rolling skill from him.

Hearing her sister laugh, Gu Xiaolian also chuckled twice. If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, the two of them would have laughed out loud!

"You two little wasteful bastards, you look at me, you've been ignoring me these past few days and your tails are up in the air now! If you keep nagging me, I'll just leave you behind and let the wild wolves drag you away! So you don't waste the food!"

The two men were laughing secretly in the back when Old Lady Zhou's hoarse voice suddenly rang out, scaring them both!

Xiaolian shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue. They looked at each other and followed the team silently!

It seems that old man surnamed Ma is very prestigious, unlike ordinary country old man.

Most of the Ma family members seemed to have some martial arts skills, and even the women, children and young children were more energetic than ordinary people.

Gu Si specifically asked Old Man Gu to remind the Gu family to be careful with their words and to restrain themselves. It was estimated that Old Lady Zhou was so angry that she blurted out something without paying attention!

This hoarse voice suddenly rang out amid the rustling sound of people walking, startling everyone and making them turn around in surprise. Their impression of Old Lady Zhou was immediately shattered: she was ugly, had a bad mouth, and was also evil!

The old man surnamed Ma continued to move forward without making any noise, which was quite impressive. Gu Dalian, who was observing the pedestrians, reminded herself secretly:

People who don’t understand must be cautious and be more careful in their actions in the future!

After stumbling through the woods for more than two hours, everyone was tired and hungry, and finally found a relatively clean place to rest!

It was almost dark, and the women were walking around in groups, using their small farm shovels to look for wild vegetables to make porridge.

The men were divided into two teams. One team gathered dead wood and broken leaves, built a few stoves with the large stones they had dug out, and cleaned up the surroundings.

After the women put up the pots they brought, another team led by the experienced Liu Li and Gu Wenzhi went to look for water sources nearby.

By the time it was completely dark, several bonfires had been set up, and Liu Li also brought people back with water!

Everyone still eats their own food, but now there is water and wild vegetables, and everyone has rekindled their enthusiasm for their future life!

Gu Dalian was guarding the old Gu family's broken stone stove. Gu Meihua was in a good mood and even asked for more brown rice flour to be added to the wild vegetable porridge!

After the meal was distributed, everyone crowded around several bonfires and assigned tasks. The young and strong men were on night shift around the campfires in groups of one hour each, with six people in each shift!

The forest at night is full of dangers, and all kinds of rustling sounds seem to be right next to your ears!

The howling of wolves in the distance frightened the Gu family, who were spending the night in the forest for the first time, and made them huddle together. The occasional sound of an animal running by in the distance would make everyone shudder!

Gu Dalian used the excuse of going to the bathroom and took Gu Xiaolian to a place behind a tree where no one could see her, and stuffed the braised chicken leg that he had made in the space into Xiaolian's mouth!

I took another box of milk! This little girl and I have been malnourished for a long time. Our skinny bodies look two or three years younger than our actual age.

In this forest, if you don’t have a good physique, you might not be able to get out of the mountains. The task of nourishing the three brothers and sisters became Gu Dalian’s top priority!

With this space, Gu Dalian was not afraid of any danger, but she tried to see if she could bring Gu Xiaolian into the space, but nothing happened.

I had no choice but to find the anthelmintic herbs in the Chinese medicine category of the oversized medicine box in my bedroom, and made three anthelmintic bags, one for myself and my second brother Xiaolian, one for each waist! Of course, hidden under the outer clothes!

Gu Dalian discovered another function. She could collect the dew on the green seedlings without entering the space. She could return to her place with just a thought.

The green seedling grew a little bigger after one day!

The glass bottle that can hold two kilograms was almost filled with one-fifth of it! This made Gu Dalian very excited!

She secretly gave a sip to her second brother, younger sister and of course herself, wanting to test what other effects the dew had. This time the amount was larger, so the effect should be more obvious!

Around midnight, the second brother came to find Gu Dalian while he was on night duty. The usually calm, taciturn and expressionless man suddenly had bright eyes and a look of joy on his face. He exuded the youthful vitality that should be possessed by a man of this age!

Gu Dalian was stunned. Wasn't it dark at night? How could she see it?

You can even see every move of everyone around you! Even the leaves and branches of trees high up!

Could it be that the second brother is...

Gu Wenzhi's body trembled with excitement, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Sister, I found...I found...I can see very clearly at night! My hearing is also very good!"

As expected, Dalian hugged Xiaolian and lay sideways beside a campfire outside. No wonder the noises around were so loud. She could hear even the slightest movements of birds and animals in the distance clearly!

This is really a big surprise. Maybe there are benefits that I haven’t discovered yet!

For Gu Dalian, who had been a special forces soldier for several years in his previous life, wilderness survival was a required course. He had no sleeping problems and quickly went to find Zhou Gong to discuss things with him in anticipation of new secrets!

That night, most of the Gu family was half asleep and half awake. When Gu Da was resting, he leaned against Qin and whispered to her:

"Tell the children not to stray far from you. If there is any movement, follow the Ma family closely!"

Qin didn't ask the reason and replied, "I know." The three daughters rested close to Qin!

Gu San and Yao were very generous. They put their son down in the middle and covered him with a blanket. When everyone was trying to fall asleep, they were already snoring loudly, one after another, as if they were competing. However, Gu Bufan, who was sleeping in the middle of them, was not affected at all and had also fallen into a deep sleep!

Gu Meihua's family, who were closest to them, had suffered a lot. Seeing the two children tossing and turning like pancakes, Gu Meihua could no longer suppress her anger. She reached out for her walking stick and poked Yao on the back with it:

"You're so noisy, you're more manly than an old man. If you snore again, I'll feed you to the wolves!"

Yao felt a pain on her back. She half-closed her eyes, propped up her arms, turned her head, muttered something, then put her arms down again and fell into a deep sleep.

After a few breaths, he started snoring again, which made Gu Meihua so angry that she turned her back to Yao and fell asleep with her head hugged along with her two children!

Gu Si and his wife were lying sideways against each other, each of them putting a hand on Gu Ziqi, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion. They looked into each other's eyes and whispered something in low voices.

Even someone as sharp-eyed and sharp-eared as Gu Dalian couldn't hear what was being said!

By the other fires, the elders of the Ma family were leading the way, some lying down or leaning against the fire. The old, weak, women and children were close to the fires, and outside were the strong laborers and heads of the families. It was quite orderly.

The weapons were within everyone's reach, and the night watchmen looked very energetic.

Compared with the ones on night duty from the Gu family, the others except Liu Li and Gu Wenzhi are simply unbearable to look at!

When it was almost dawn, a scream suddenly woke everyone up.

One of the women in the Ma family, who was in her thirties, was seen waving a crutch in her hand and smashing it wildly on the ground.

There was a snake coiled on the ground with its head smashed. The entire snake body and the tail extending behind it were two meters long.

The snake's body is black and red, and the red color is extremely bright. It seems to be the famous red snake in the legend.

There was a little boy of four or five years old next to the woman, who was holding his calf and groaning, obviously bitten by a snake!

Everyone who was awakened rushed forward. Ma Xiaolian walked over quickly, pulled out a hemp rope from his waist, quickly tied it around the boy's legs, and had a water bag in his hand.

He poured the water on the wound to rinse it, and squeezed out the pus and blood. When the color returned to normal, he untied the hemp rope, took the herbal medicine from a tribesman nearby and applied it to the child, and asked the woman to bring a clean handkerchief to bandage it!

Although the boy was small, he did not cry at all during the whole process. He just gritted his teeth and groaned when it was too painful. All the members of the Gu family could not help but admire him!

From the scream to the completion of the bandaging, everyone was in order throughout the process, as if it was just a trivial matter!

It was already dawn when we finished the work. Everyone was in an orderly manner and doing their own thing.

There were already two or three women dragging the dead snake away to skin it, which made Yao smack her lips!

After everyone finished cooking breakfast, one of the women from the Ma family handed Old Man Ma a snake soup with three or five pieces of snake meat in it:

"Uncle Gu, there are too many of us in the tribe, and the snake meat cannot be divided into two pieces. Let you two elders have a taste of it!"

Mrs. Zhou is so rude:

"You have a lot of snake soup, give some to my family. How can we eat more if we are the only ones eating it while the kids are watching us?"

The woman just laughed awkwardly after hearing this, and did not say anything. She poured the soup for the old couple into the bowl that Qin had brought and returned it!

Everyone in the Gu family felt embarrassed to watch, so they lowered their heads and ate their own food. Gu Dalian only cried out in her heart: "Old woman, don't you have the shame to go out?"

Gu Si looked at his father and mother with deep eyes!
