Chapter 1238 Xiao Li Walked Into a Red Countryside

Chen Tai listened to the howling beasts for most of the night, and his heart was in twitching for most of the night. Finally, he couldn't wait any longer and hurried to the nearest Tongyue Village to seek help from the villagers.

The villagers in Tongyue Village knew that Chen Tai, a big man, actually agreed to let a child go into the mountain alone. They all glared at him with reproachful eyes. Then they roughly changed their clothes and went up the mountain with the tools.

The entrance they entered into the mountain was from Tongyue Village's own fork in the road, so they walked smoothly and knew the way. However, when they heard the howls of different types of beasts far and near, they hesitated a little.

"Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

"Did something happen?"

"Is there an earthquake? Or a tsunami?"

Generally, only when there are natural or man-made disasters do animals scream so frantically.

The villagers in Tongyue Village suddenly became worried.

Those who cherished their lives began to be less enthusiastic about going into the mountains.

Chen Tai talked to them for a long time at the fork in the road, but in the end only two or three people were willing to go into the mountain together, and more people said they were waiting for help at the fork.

Chen Tai was so angry that he twisted his stick and was about to rush in when he heard footsteps coming from inside.

There were some messy footsteps, very loud, coming towards them.

Chen Tai was immediately stunned, and other people in Tongyue Village immediately pulled him aside, stood far away, and lit the torches.

They thought some wild beast had run out, but after a while, they saw a hurried humanoid figure.

He is a little boy with a dark face and messy hair.

"Xiao Li!" Seeing the child come out, Chen Tai excitedly stepped forward to hold him and looked him up and down.

Xiao Li suffered a lot for most of the night. He couldn't find his sister, and was surrounded by wild beasts for half the night. It was about to get dark, and he finally ran out.

Seeing the people at the intersection, Xiao Li knew that these should be the helpers Chen Tai was looking for. After all, he had been in there for almost a whole night.

While he was grateful, he also hurriedly said that he was fine, so that everyone didn't need to worry.

Someone also asked: "What's going on with the shouting in the woods?"

Xiao Li sighed and pointed to the moon above his head, which had not yet been completely replaced by the morning light, and exposed the culprit of the matter, the group of wolves that howled at the moon all night.

The villagers nodded one after another, and some people were curious: "It's not the first day of the lunar month, nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so why is it still a full moon?"

The mysteries of the celestial phenomena are not something ordinary people like them can explain. In short, as long as the child comes out safely.

Seeing that everything was alright, the villagers of Tongyue Village said goodbye and returned to the village one after another.

After they left, Xiao Li took Chen Tai's hand and said, "Uncle Tai, you have to help me this time."

Chen Tai was startled: "What's wrong with you? Are you injured?"

Xiao Li shook his head, with a bitter look on his face: "My sister hasn't been found yet. I don't know where she went. I have to go into the mountains. Uncle Tai, could you please go back to the village and call more people? God After daylight, we all go into the mountains together to continue searching."

At first, Xiao Li knew the location of the leopard's den and determined the specific coordinates of his sister. But now after last night, the female leopard and her family were scared away by the barking animals in the forest. Xiao Li stayed in the leopard's den all night and didn't see it. They come back.

Now that his sister's coordinates have been lost and Pearl is nowhere to be found, Xiao Li will definitely not be able to find the entire mountain by himself, so he has to ask for more help.

Chen Tai was very loyal and agreed immediately, but he was worried about Xiao Li and told him that Xiao Li was not allowed to go into the mountain alone again before he brought people back to meet him.

Xiao Li rolled his eyes, knowing that Uncle Tai would be worried if he didn't agree, so he nodded and agreed.

Chen Tai didn't know that the kid had other agendas, nor did he know that after he drove the donkey cart away, he turned around and the kid sneaked into the forest.

As the sky gets brighter and brighter, the animals that have been barking all night are getting tired.

There was no more howling in the forest, only the chirping of insects.

Xiao Li moved forward along the steep mountain road. He deliberately found a difficult path. When animals encounter danger, they will instinctively take a more winding, steeper path with more bunkers.

Because they subconsciously think that a winding road feels safer than a flat road with an unobstructed view. Just like a person, when there is an enemy chasing you behind you, you will subconsciously get into some twists and turns of the alley instead of Running straight on the long flat road.

Xiao Li's direction is west.

The sound of the wolf howling last night came from the east, so he guessed that the female leopard would take the cub and run in the direction farthest from the howling wolf.

And after walking for a quarter of an hour, he found the leopard's footprints in a relatively moist soil. Next to the messy plum blossom footprints, there were two small strings of plum blossom prints, which should be the little leopard.

But if we go further, the footprints will soon disappear.

Ahead is a patchwork of bushes with overgrown shrubs and lots of insects and ants.

Xiao Li scratched his face and scratched a few small red bumps on his neck. Tragically, he discovered that these insects and ants were poisonous, and the small bumps on his skin became bigger and bigger.

He quickly picked some cool grass that could be used nearby to relieve the itching, took off his coat, and wrapped his head, then Xiao Li continued to walk forward with difficulty.

After walking for a while, he saw a puddle.

It shouldn't be considered a puddle, it's a natural depression, and because the depression has been accumulated by rainwater all year round, it looks more like a reservoir.

Xiao Li thought that the wild animals near this mountain forest probably drank from this reservoir.

Thinking that he was also thirsty and licking his lips, he lay on the ground, took half a handful of water with his hand and drank it. The water was very clear, but it didn't taste good. After drinking a little, Xiaoli didn't want to drink anymore.

Then when he left, he started to collect wild fruits around him.

Wild fruits can quench thirst and fill the stomach, much better than water from reservoirs.

After walking like this, the surrounding environment gradually became worse.

There was a road at the beginning, but then it disappeared. After leaving the reservoir, the bushes became deeper as we went forward.

In the end, Xiao Li no longer dared to walk on land. He started climbing trees, and then jumped from tree to tree.

At this time, the villagers from Heishui Village and Baisan Village that Chen Tai found had already entered the mountain. Some people entered the mountain from other forks, and some followed Chen Tai to the fork in Tongyue Village to find Xiao Li.

Of course I couldn't find it.

Chen Tai was angry at the child's disobedience, and finally had no choice but to ask someone to go up the mountain first.

Xiao Li believed that if Chen Tai didn't see him, he would definitely go into the mountains to look for him, so he was relieved and didn't wait for them, but now he regrets it a little.

He didn't know that this mountain was so deep. He thought that this mountain area had been divided into different areas. Each area was contracted by different villages. Basically, it was not too deserted.

But now the road he was taking had clearly reached a level of wildness only found in primitive jungles, and he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and northwest.

Since he couldn't find the way anyway, he simply continued walking based on his intuition. As he walked, he finally found signs of mining ahead again.

There were several trees that looked like they had been chopped down with axes, which proved that he was within the contract scope of a certain village again.

Wherever there are people, there will naturally be roads.

This time, Xiao Li didn't dare to walk blindly again, for fear of delaying the search for his sister. He followed the clear path with the deepest traces, hoping to find someone to ask for directions first.

And this time, he walked into a red countryside.

You can also smell the rich fragrance of rose flowers on the tip of your nose.
