Chapter 84: In the Valley

Qiao Xiaoru glanced at him with a little suspicion, does this thing know what "moving hands and feet" means?

Forget it, don't think about it! I don't think this fool will open at this time.

"Then I'll sleep first, you can sleep for a while, neither of us is allowed to get sick, we must save our mental and physical strength, and tomorrow we will go into the mountains to hunt for treasures, do you know?" Qiao Xiaoru leaned into his arms and said.

"Hmmm! I know my daughter-in-law! The foolish man nodded.

Qiao Xiaoru hooked her lips and glanced at him with slight disgust, and slowly closed her eyes.

Soon, Qiao Xiaoru fell asleep and fell asleep, and there seemed to be occasional small insects crawling gently on her face, nose, lips, and neck in her sleep, but she was really sleepy, and this little insect was not always entangled, and she was too lazy to wake up.

I only woke up once in the middle of the night, half awake and half blurred, gently opened my eyes, raised my eyes, and saw the foolish man leaning against the mountain wall and closing his eyes to recuperate, his expression was quiet, as if he had also fallen asleep, and the fire was still burning slowly, exuding warm heat.

Qiao Xiaoru's heart was relieved, and she hooked her lips and smiled silently.

was about to close his eyes and continue to sleep, but the foolish husband gently opened his eyes as if sensing her gaze.

Looking at each other, Qiao Xiaoru was slightly sluggish, but the stupid husband smiled warmly: "Daughter-in-law! ”

"Well, let's go back to sleep!" Qiao Xiaoru slurred her words, covered her mouth and yawned a little, rubbed on the placket of the foolish husband, and closed her eyes again.

Silly Fujun opened a pair of confused and ignorant eyes, looked down at her, grinned lightly, gently stirred the fire, hugged her tighter, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Qiao Xiaoru woke up.

It's not because of the cold, although the humidity and mist in the early morning in the deep mountains and old forests are very heavy, and the temperature is very low, but there are caves that can shelter from the wind and rain well, there are fires, especially the arms of the foolish man like a stove, although this night is not as comfortable as the bed, but I don't feel cold at all.

She was woken up by all sorts of birdsong.

I have never been to such a deep mountain forest, and I can't imagine how noisy the birdsong is in the early morning.

Qiao Xiaoru, who was woken up, sat at the entrance of the cave, and her ears were full of chirping all kinds of birdsong, sharp or crisp, long or short, cheerful or low, intertwined into a net, netting the corner of the forest.

The sun had not yet come out, but the sky in the eastern sky was noticeably brighter than elsewhere, and the canopy above the forest was covered with a thick milky white mist wafting like waves, and the branches and leaves of the canopy were a little brighter.

From time to time, you can see birds of all sizes fluttering their wings from above the canopy and flying over, silently falling into another part of the forest, Qiao Xiaoru screamed in surprise, but he didn't have the heart to let the fool catch him. You know, there are a lot of birds in such forests, and they don't come to catch them.

The cool breeze blows gently, the air is fresh and fresh beyond words, the breath is cool and penetrates into the heart, washing all the dust, making people feel light and bright.

"Daughter-in-law, it's cold outside, wait for it to be warm before going out!" The foolish husband had already burned the fire more vigorously, for fear that Qiao Xiaoru would go out and pull her with his eyes.

"Well, let's wait in the cave!" Qiao Xiaoru smiled.

She had already wrapped the spare clothes of herself and Silly Fujun on her body, and after sitting at the mouth of the cave for a while, she felt a little cold and unbearable.

The chill of the morning in the mountains and forests is really too deep.

It's no wonder it's late autumn!

Besides, the more this is the case, the more it means that those insects and ants can't survive, doesn't it? That's a good thing for them!

As the sun gradually rose over the eastern sky, the golden sunlight shrouded the forest, and the mist gradually became thin and thin, turning into dew and sticking to the grass on the ground.

The chill subsided, and the two of them roasted one of the pheasants left over from last night and ate them, and the other grouse was held and thrown in the back basket with a clean cloth, and Qiao Xiaoru carried the back basket on his back and went down the mountain with the foolish man.

"Silly, remember this location! Let's come back here tonight for the night! When he got to the bottom of the mountain wall, Qiao Xiaoru said.

"Remember, daughter-in-law!" The foolish man looked around and nodded.

"Then let's go!" Qiao Xiaoru smiled, sighed softly, and said with a smile: "Fool, if we are lucky enough to find some rare and old medicinal materials!" You say, which direction is the best way for us to go today? ”

The foolish man scratched his head and said, "I listen to my daughter-in-law!" ”

The daughter-in-law said that she would go wherever she went!

Qiao Xiaoru smiled, shrugged her shoulders, and said with a smile: "This is impossible to think of!" Well, we'll have to try our luck! Let's go this way today! ”

Qiao Xiaoru pointed ahead.

Ahead, there was a deep valley, wide and deep, with no end in sight, and the walls on either side were overgrown with trees, but much more open than the towering forest, and in many places you could see large bare and exposed walls of gray rock.

At least on the first day, it's better to walk somewhere sunnier, right?

However, the weeds in this valley were much more abundant than in the great forest, and they grew very densely and taller than a man, and they were mixed with all kinds of thorny thorns, and although the half-withered yellow of the mountain grass in late autumn was much better than in summer, it was still not easy to make a way out of it.

Fortunately, there was a fool to open the way, and Qiao Xiaoru only had to follow closely behind him, which was barely trouble-free.

The sun gradually rose, but walking in the valley did not feel hot, the road was smooth, and the water in the ravines encountered from time to time was also very shallow, and the two walked far before they knew it.

Looking up ahead, the end of the valley was still in sight.

In a wide hinterland with few weeds and a flat hinterland, Qiao Xiaoru sat on a big stone for a short rest, drank two sips of water, calmed his breath and said to the foolish man: "I said stupid, it seems that it is not good for us to blindly walk forward in such a muffled voice!" We're not here to explore, we're here to find something, aren't we? Look, shouldn't we look for more on the mountain walls on both sides, it's useless to just walk like this! ”

"Well, I listen to my daughter-in-law! The daughter-in-law can go wherever she wants! The foolish gentleman nodded kindly, all in agreement.

Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but laugh, smiled and shook her head gently. She was wrong, she shouldn't have discussed such a serious issue with this idiot! She just needs to explain how to do it!

However, it is not easy to get close to the mountain walls on both sides, there are too many weeds in this valley, and the closer you get to both sides of the mountain wall, the more there are, and at the same time, all kinds of vines are entangled and growing.

Qiao Xiaoru always thought in her heart that she would wait, wait, wait until she reached a slightly calmer place before going over!
