Chapter 331: Conflict (2nd Update)
I thought that I had worked so hard to climb to the top of the mountain, and I would have to go down again.
Yang Ruo felt that his calves really began to tremble.
Shen Mu was afraid of going out again about the things in front of her, and she was afraid that the thorns would scratch Yang Ruo, so she was led all the way.
Generally, when she encounters a branch, she will help her remove it first. In the end, Yang Ruo really couldn't walk, Shen Mu directly grabbed her waist and flew all the way down, but Yang Ruo screamed in fright.
Shen Mu was really interested when he saw Yang Ruo's reaction, and couldn't help but say, "I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth, but you turned out to be so timid." ”
Yang Ruo is teeth itched, and she said in her heart: "It seems that she doesn't know martial arts, this is her biggest weakness, when Wang Qi comes back, she must let him teach herself, and see who dares to underestimate him." ”
"It seems that I was really wrong to promise you to come here. I have made a fool of myself in front of you. ”
Shen Mu hurriedly said: "Is this called ugly, but I don't think so." ”
Yang Ruo closed his eyes directly in order not to see below.
Because Shen Mu took her down the mountain directly, Yang Ruo felt that they had not been able to work for a while, and they had reached the foot of the mountain.
She felt much better on this flight than last time, and when she stopped, she didn't feel like she was vomiting.
After thinking about it for a long time, she remembered what she was in her arms.
She knew, it was the smell of these citronellas. It worked, and it refreshed her.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the top of the mountain above, Yang Ruo realized that the mountain was so high.
She couldn't imagine now that if it wasn't for Shen Mu taking her down, she would have to go to the Year of the Monkey to get to the bottom of the mountain.
Their vision was now wider, and they were no longer surrounded by mountains, but by a large area of slightly flat hills.
Next to the green and slightly soft grass, there are small pebbles that emit a soft light, which are illuminated by the sun's rays. Everything here, with a serene and serene beauty.
In the distance, a satin-like river, from one end of the mountain, meandered down and lay in front of them.
There is no end to the big river, sparkling, like a sleeping girl, dressed in colorful costumes, appearing in front of them, with a charming style.
"Wow, there's a big river here." I saw that the river was wide and large, and there were no bridges on the river. In the middle of the river, on the other hand, there are a few boats that are constantly shuttling here.
There were old fishermen on the boat, holding bamboo poles in their hands, looking at the baskets beside them with satisfaction, with a satisfied smile on their faces. It seems that they had a good harvest today.
There are also fishermen who like to sing, standing there and opening their voices, singing a nice Jiangnan tune. The singing voice is thin and soft, and the tone of the singing is also very good, but it is generally a love song. Yang Ruo heard one of the songs singing like this: "The autumn leaves are busy in the autumn moon, and my brother comes to the house to release the ceremony, and my sister sees that my brother is panicked, so I go directly into the house and hide my body." His face was blushing, his heart was flustered, he tilted his head, and looked at ......"
The songs are simple and straightforward, but they are also very much in line with the tastes of the people here. So it sounds pretty good.
Look at the scenery in front of you and listen to a nice tune in your ears. Yang Ruo suddenly felt as if he had walked from a small town with a quaint atmosphere into a dream-like landscape painting.
Everything here is so quiet, serene and beautiful.
If there is a paintbrush, what Yang Ruo wants to do most is to sit down and draw such a picture quietly.
"It's so beautiful!" Yang Ruo couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Mu sat next to her, holding a stick, and then sharpened it with a knife in his hand.
Yang Ruo tilted his head to look at him. "Shen Gongzi, what are you doing?"
"In the future, you can call me Shen Mu, or you can call me, Brother Shen, can you not call me Gongzi, this will make people feel that we have a sense of distance."
"Well, it doesn't seem appropriate to call you by your name. Forget it, I'll still suffer a loss, let's call you big brother. Anyway, we are all brother and sister to outsiders. Yang Ruo said seriously.
But she looks a bit like a little lady at the moment.
Shen Mu couldn't help but nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he handed her the strangely shaped stick in his hand. "Well, here's for you."
"What is this?" Yang Ruo took the stick with a strange shape, looked at its shape, and couldn't help but feel funny.
Because it's a stick, as it is, a big Y-shaped fork. But outside the fork, Shen Mu removed the skin with a knife, making the surface extremely smooth, so it was more comfortable to touch.
"I'm helping you make a cane, and I can't bear to see you limp when you walk."
And Shen Mu knew that if he was on the flat ground and supported her, he would definitely be disgusted by her, so he used his brains to do this for her.
"Sounds good, I'll try." Yang Ruo made a mischievous grimace at Shen Mu.
Fortunately, she was wearing boots today, otherwise, she would have been embarrassed.
Yang Ruo sighed a little, how could he have such physical strength. I didn't walk much before I was so tired that I couldn't walk.
And because of the relationship between rolling down the mountain, the elbows and knees, it will be a dull pain.
She thought to herself, there were no external injuries on her body, but there must have been a lot of internal injuries.
Put the fork of the tree in the position of the armpit, and then use the power of the branch, when you go forward, it really saves a lot of effort, the key is that there will be goose warm stones under their feet, one is not good, and if you slip, you will fall.
Finally, the hard work paid off.
The two of them searched for a while, and finally found a small grove of palm trees on the river beach near the west.
"Ah, I saw it, Brother Shen, look over there." Yang Ruo pointed to a forest over there and said happily.
But it seems strange to call it big brother, Yang Ruo thought weakly in his heart.
Shen Mu will also see it. "Let's go, go over and have a look."
When the two of them were elated, after arriving at the river beach over there, the two of them found a very real problem.
It turned out that they had forgotten to bring the tools for cutting trees.
The two dumbfounded, couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
"What to do? You can't pick it up with your hands" Yang Ruo saw Shen Mu's white slender fingers, such fingers should be used to play the piano, or blow the flute, which are quite suitable.
However, it is not suitable for rough work.
"Why don't I try it with this knife first, let's take some back, and then someone will cut it."
Regarding Shen Mu's proposal, Yang Ruo also nodded in agreement. He replied, "I think that's all I can do." ”
After the two discussed, Yang Ruo was the guide. Shen Mu was on the side, taking a dagger to separate the bark and starting to take the flesh of the tree.
However, what they didn't expect was that suddenly, out of nowhere, five or six men, each with a stick in their hands, looked at them angrily.
"What are you doing? Why destroy our sacred tree. ”
Yang Ruo almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard the words from the mouth of the person in front of him. Ordinary palm trees, and they grew on the river banks, and their eyes said that these trees were sacred trees and should not be cut down.
