The night passed without any incident!

But there was a dim light in the forest, and several men who knew how to hunt had returned with some rabbits and pheasants.

Everyone worked in tacit understanding and divided the work. Before long, the hares and pheasants had been cleaned up, chopped into pieces, and the hare skins had been neatly trimmed!

After all, once we leave this deep mountain, we still have to make a living, and selling these things can be a supplement!

The women continued to boil water and cook the chicken and rabbit meat into sauce. They put cornmeal pot stickers in each pot and covered it with a lid. Soon, the aroma of meat filled the air. This kind of food was not available before the famine!

While waiting for their meals, the sisters who were fine also scattered around, collecting all kinds of edible wild vegetables and putting them into baskets, just in case!

Sister Gu Dalian must not miss this opportunity!

While everyone was not paying attention, he aimed in a certain direction and sneaked away far away, while also giving Gu Wenzhi a wink!

The two sisters walked and stopped from time to time, picking up edible wild vegetables along the way and putting them in their backpacks, otherwise they would have no explanation when they returned!

I originally wanted to pick some mushrooms, fungus and the like, but those things are easier to find after the rain, so I had to give up the idea!

Gu Dalian is now intent on upgrading her space, hoping to find some special herbs or something. Her eyes are fixed on every patch of grass, tree trunk, and even cracks in the rocks, wanting to take a look at them!

The two people were only staring at the front and completely ignored the owner of a pair of embroidered shoes who was hiding quietly behind them!

Sometimes he hid behind a big rock and squatted, sometimes he shoveled behind a big tree, and occasionally poked his head out, for fear that the two people in front would see him!

The two sisters unknowingly walked to a cliff, which was about 1.2 meters high, with a step that looked like it was cut by a knife or an axe.

The steps were not narrow at all, and then there was a stone wall going up, which looked to be about one meter high, and there were steps that were cut by knives and axes.

Now I couldn’t see the width of the steps, I could only see that the sunlight was shining brightly on the side of the stone wall!

The two sisters were hesitating whether to go back or go around, when Xiaolian suddenly screamed and pointed to the side of the stone wall: "Sister, what do you see on top?"

Xiaolian is shorter than Dalian and is two steps behind her sister. She just happened to see a spot of purple-red protruding from the stone wall in the sunlight, which made the little girl feel like she had discovered a new world!

Xiao Liang also took two steps back in the direction of his sister, raised his head and followed the direction his sister pointed, his heart suddenly pounding:

"Oh my god, looking at the color and shape, it must be the best Panax notoginseng!"

Gu Dalian didn't say a word. He ran up the stairs using his hands and feet, and then climbed up the one-meter-high step with another effort.

This time her thin body came in handy, as Gu Dalian climbed two steps flexibly.

The second step was a bit narrow, only as wide as an adult's foot, but it was not a problem for the thin Gu Dalian.

Moving slowly, he reached the side of the stone wall, and Gu Dalian was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out!

"Haha, we're rich, so rich!" Gu Dalian laughed happily!

"Sister, what is that?"

"Don't ask yet!" Gu Dalian kept the question in suspense, then smiled and began to reach out and use the shiny sickle she took out from the space to cut the roots of the Panax notoginseng one by one, and then pulled them out of the soil one by one!

Remove the excess impurities and throw them carefully into the ground in the space one by one!

After this wave of operations alone, this small area actually harvested five or six kilograms.

And looking at this, the best modern Panax notoginseng is one with six heads, and this one seems to weigh one kilogram with only four heads, otherwise how can you say you've made a fortune!

Gu Dalian's pair of phoenix eyes were almost invisible from laughing, and beads of sweat were oozing from her lovely nose!

You should know that four or five kilograms of Panax notoginseng do not need to be processed, so it can be said to be close to a finished product!

Gu Dalian sent the remaining one pound of grass into the space with its roots and leaves.

Let’s try and see if it can grow well! Some of the seedlings didn’t move, so we can’t destroy the ecology!

He put the sickle into the space, then carefully went down the stairs, jumped down, and hugged Gu Xiaolian with a smile on his face!

Just as I was about to say something, I heard a plop. I couldn't tell where the sound came from, but there also seemed to be a scream of "Ah".

The two looked at each other and looked around, but found nothing. So they ate the braised rice, stir-fried meat and cold cucumber prepared in the space, and the two sisters hurried back!

On the way, they met Gu Wenzhi who was looking for the two sisters. They gave him the food they had reserved for them, and then the three siblings returned to their resting place together!

As soon as she showed her head, something suddenly flew over and hit Xiaolian in the face. Gu Dalian quickly pulled Xiaolian aside!

Gu Wenzhi was anxious to protect his little sisters. He leaned forward and raised his arms to block the attack. The tree stick came at him with great force and hit Gu Wenzhi's forearm with a "bang!" It then hit the big tree next to him and fell into the grass!

The old lady Zhou yelled:

"You little wild bastards, why did you come back? Let the wild wolf take it away and eat it, wouldn't that be what everyone wants? They always say that they treat you badly and don't let you eat."

"The meal is ready, but you little bastards don't know how to quickly go back! You're still thinking about eating, and you'll be hungry after the meal!"

It was just that my uncle could tolerate this, but my sister could not. Gu Dalian took a step forward, tears welling up in her eyes, and said to Old Lady Zhou:

"Grandma, even if you don't like us brothers and sisters, you can't kill us! My parents are not even a hundred days old yet!"

"We are orphans and don't need to have enough food to eat, we just need to survive! Please have mercy on us!"

As she said this, she began to cry with tears in her eyes!

Gu Dalian was acting while humming in her heart:

"Don't underestimate me, a novel fanatic. I'm an experienced young woman from the New Century. I can see who can't act miserable and beg for pity. There are dozens of people here. I don't believe that old man Gu has no shame!"

Gu Dalian really guessed it right. When Old Man Gu looked over, he saw the whole family of the Ma family not far away looking over.

Some had a look of pity on their faces, some looked at Old Lady Zhou with contempt, and some were whispering and pointing, almost pointing directly at Old Man Gu's face. Even Old Man Ma had a look of disdain!

Old Man Gu felt nervous and walked for a while. The road in the forest was still long. But how could Old Man Gu and his family get out of the mountains?

Don't let the Ma family get tired of you and leave them alone, that would be a waste of time!

In just a moment, Old Man Gu's mind turned and he turned around and shouted:

"You damned old woman, they are your own grandchildren, how can you treat children like this? Aren't you afraid of hurting them? Why do you make people so worried?"

"Boss, Meihua, please count the number of people to see if everyone is here. Once everyone is present, it's time for everyone to set off!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin suddenly exclaimed:

"Hey, why hasn't our Ermei come back yet? Head of the family, hurry up and look for her. It's been a while!"

Mrs. Zhou was just embarrassed, and when she heard this, she instantly got angry again:

"What are you doing as a mother? Is the forest so dangerous? How dare you let a girl go far away? Just follow her! Go quickly and find my darling granddaughter!"

After hearing these words, all the members of the Ma family were stunned. They had the same grandchildren, but he was so partial to them, right?

Old Man Gu also ordered:

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and look around, there are wild animals in this mountain, don't hurt the children!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the men and women of the Gu family, except Gu Wenxuan and Gu Caiqi who stayed with their grandparents, scattered out shouting and searching. Even the people from the old Ma family scattered out to look for them!

Gu Da and Qin supported each other, especially when Qin found out Ermei was missing. She got so anxious that her legs went weak and she couldn't even walk!

The couple walked forward, calling Ermei's name!

For a while, the voices calling for "Ermei" were heard one after another! An hour later, everyone returned to the resting place one after another, but still couldn't find Ermei!

This time, Gu Dalian went forward to search with her second brother and sister. Halfway through, she suddenly had an idea. Could it be that the sound she heard at the place where Panax notoginseng was harvested was Ermei's?

"Brother, follow me!"

Gu Dalian grabbed her second brother and sister, turned around and walked towards the stone wall!

When they got close to the stone wall, the three siblings began to explore forward step by step with sticks, shouting "Ermei, are you there?" "Ermei, if you hear a sound, call back!"

The three of them kept shouting and searching, while listening for the echo, but they still couldn't find anything after working for a long time!

"Brother, I seemed to hear some noise when I was here. My younger sister and I looked around but didn't find anything. We thought I had misheard it! Now that I think about it, it was probably Ermei's voice!"

Although Dalian doesn't like Gu Ermei, at least she hasn't done anything bad to them, so she still has to try her best to look for her!

Thinking of this, Dalian stood up and said, "We have searched everywhere except for the stone wall and this line in front of us. We will search again. There is also a corner over there on the other side of the tree! I will go check that corner!"

Gu Dalian moved towards the corner of the tree. Just as she put her hand on the tree, her feet suddenly moved. She felt a sudden shock in her heart. It was bad! She hurriedly said:

"Second brother!" The man fell down rapidly as the words came out!

Gu Dalian was still holding a tree pole in her hand. As she fell, she raised the pole above her head and pulled it to both sides to reduce her falling speed!

Fortunately, when I stepped into the air, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves at the entrance of the cave, which now cushioned my butt and served as friction.

This hole seemed very large. Gu Dalian felt that according to modern timing, it would take nearly 5 minutes to slide down in a spiral while rubbing against the ground. It was a bit like riding a roller coaster!

Finally, when he was exhausted, his feet made a thud and he seemed to have stepped into a pile of fallen leaves!

The soul that did not follow finally returned. Gu Dalian groped to her feet tremblingly, and felt a smell of rotten leaves and soil coming to her nose!

Although Gu Dalian could see well, she was still nervous in the unfamiliar environment. She wanted to take out the light in the space, but she was afraid that Gu Ermei would see it!

Call out carefully:

"Gu Ermei, are you here?! Gu Ermei heard and answered!"

I pricked up my ears and listened for a while, but didn't hear any echo. The cave was pitch black. Although I could see things, they were not very clear. I could only vaguely see a bulge not far ahead, not moving!

I groped my way closer and vaguely saw the figure of a woman who seemed to have fainted!

Gu Dalian was unable to take care of many things and could only take out the flashlight and go closer to take a look. It was Gu Ermei who was curled up!

The man had fainted, with a pool of blood on the back of his head, which was still oozing out.

The blood flowed from the back of his head onto his clothes, which were torn in many places, exposing his hands and feet, with many bloody scratches!

Judging from the situation, if Ermei is not treated, she will probably go to hell!

Gu Dalian took out iodine from her medicine box, carefully wiped the ulcer on the back of Ermei's head, and then took out Yunnan Baiyao powder and sprinkled it on.

Seeing that she would not wake up for a while, he was just about to raise the light and look forward.

Suddenly, there was movement where he had just landed. It was Gu Wenzhi with an anxious look on his face!

Gu Dalian was deeply moved. As soon as she saw Gu Wenzhi's expression, she knew that he was worried about his sister's safety and jumped down regardless of the consequences!

Gu Wenzhi suddenly rushed to the eldest sister, looked her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not injured!

Gu Wenzhi himself was a hunter. Although he was rather thin, he was very agile. Relying on his sharp ears and eyes, he was able to slide down without any harm. The brother and sister walked forward holding the lantern!

This is actually a big cave with many twists and turns.

The two looked around and saw that the stone walls were covered with moss, with occasional green grass struggling to grow out from the cracks in the rocks.

The further they walked, the wider the space became. After about 200 meters, both of them moved their ears at the same time!

There seemed to be the sound of dripping water ahead, and the two of them walked forward quickly at the same time.

After walking less than 100 meters, I suddenly saw a huge stone gate blocking the way, and the sound of dripping water came from a protruding large stone next to the stone gate.

The water drops seemed to be dripping continuously onto a large rock, and were milky white and thick.

The big stone was as tall as a child and had a diameter of almost one meter. No one knew how many years it had existed!

The milky white liquid has dripped into the center of the stone to create a groove the size of a washbasin, and next to the groove there is a milky white crystal as thick as a bowl!

Both of them were confused as to what it was. Gu Dalian was confused:

I am definitely a time-traveling heroine. Could it be that I have just gotten lucky again?
