Chapter 893
It was during the chat that I got a general idea of what was going on with a few of the girls.
I originally thought that the men had captured some pretty young women, but now I think about it and deny it. Maybe these men had captured the women, but as to what they were going to do, none of us knew.
After chatting for a while, we rested in the cave, the sound of Duan Tong’s chanting coming to our ears.
The forest was empty and silent, and her chanting was not loud, but it was particularly eerie and frightening in the silence of the forest.
Although Yang Ting and Shi Rui were scared, they huddled in the cave and did not speak.
It was Ouyang Nuo who couldn’t resist speaking up, staring, “Big sister, we all know you believe in Buddha, but can you please recite it in your heart and not out, you’ll attract wild animals this way.”
Duan Tong was interrupted by the voice, a moment of some displeasure, the tone of voice is a bit grumpy, “Buddha will only bless us, will not hurt us at all.”
Ouyang Nuo was speechless, holding her forehead and giving her a blank look, seeing that she was still chanting she said, “Big sister, please go out and chant.”
At this point Duan Tong was quiet, the buzzing sound in her mouth was gone.
Yang Ting and Shi Rui looked at each other, the two did not say much, each kept silent in the darkness.
The good thing is that nothing happened this night, all wind up calmly alive.
The next day.
The birds chirping in the forest were particularly crisp, and I woke up to see Duan Tong already out of the cave.
Ouyang Nuo, still sleeping on his knees, woke up at the sound of the commotion and looked around somewhat bewildered.
A delicate little face, probably having been pressed for a bit too long, was a little red, looking more and more nice and white.
“Wake up!” I spoke, ready to get up and go out.
She nodded, rubbed her face, let out a long breath, and spoke, “Someone’s gone out?”
I nodded, ready to head out, and she happened to get up with me, but probably because she had been doing it for so long, pressing her leg for so long, she was crooked to the side before she could stand up.
I looked down at her and saw her say, somewhat helplessly, “It’s been too long and my legs are numb.”
I couldn’t help but laugh and reached out to help her out of the cave.
Duan Tong was sitting outside on a dry tree chanting scriptures, not too loudly, but it just felt like it was buzzing, making it a little annoying to listen to.
Ouyang Nuo bristled, a little annoyed, “Sh*t, chattering in the morning, there’s no end to it.”
Duan Tong looked back at her, without knowing the sound, and continued to start chanting again.
“Why don’t we see if there are any wild fruits around and find something to eat?” I opened my mouth and couldn’t help but look up at the sunlight blocked by the trees, sparingly spilling onto the ground.
The green morning sun and morning dew, accompanied by birdsong and the sound of the wind, made a shallow breath of air feel refreshing.
“Let’s find it while walking over there!” Ouyang Nuo spoke, and as he spoke he looked towards Yang Ting and Shi Rui who had come out of the cave and continued, “How are you two doing? Let’s keep going if you’re well rested!”
The two nodded and straightened their somewhat crumpled clothes, looking at Duan Tong who was still chanting, Yang Ting muttered, “Such devotion, do you think Buddha will really bless her?”
Ouyang Nuo shrugged his shoulders, “Let’s go!”
The mountain forest in the morning, with a little bit of wetness, fluffy soil, can clearly feel the softness even when stepping down slightly.
“Wow!” Shi Rui screamed, and then squatted down to dig where she had stepped.
Within moments, she saw a pile of yellow and white mushrooms growing where she had ploughed, thick and sturdy, a few of which had been crushed by her tread.
Leaving a few short, stubby ones to be spared.
“Milk pulp mushrooms!” Duan Tong, who had been chanting, spoke up, picked up the small mushrooms under the fertile soil, wiped them clean and sent them towards her mouth, then began to eat them.
Shi Rui looked fearful and worried, “Is that how you eat raw ones?”
Chapter 894
Yang Ting rummaged around and found a lot of the same mushrooms under the soft, rotting leaves.
She handed them to us and said, “These mushrooms can be eaten raw, we used to eat them raw at home.
Watching them eat, we, who had been hungry all day, naturally followed suit.
Ouyang Nuo ate a few bites and looked at Yang Ting, “You won’t see little people after eating this, will you? I used to read the news that people around your New South start testing poison every May and June, and I heard that people who are poisoned can see all kinds of worlds.”
Yang Ting laughed, “If you don’t eat it indiscriminately, you basically can’t see any little human beings.”
Shi Rui found a number of other kinds of mushrooms in the soil and consulted, “Can these be eaten too?”
Yang Ting nodded, “Yes, but these have to be cooked and eaten, you’ll see the little people when you eat them raw.”
“It’s a pity that we don’t even have a lighter on us, otherwise we could still have a meal of nature’s gift.” Ouyang Nuo sighed and stuffed the few milk pulp mushrooms in his hand into his mouth.
“Ah ……” Duan Tong suddenly shouted, startling the other few to look over, somewhat puzzled.
“What’s wrong? Your Buddha showed up?” Ouyang Nuo spoke, a little annoyed with her.
Duan Tong blazed white, her body stiffened, and she spoke without moving, “Snake, vegetable green snake ……”
For a moment everyone followed her gaze and saw that on the tree next to her, a small green snake of about fifty centimeters was wrapped around the turquoise leaves.
If one didn’t look closely, one wouldn’t notice it for a while, the green snake was spitting its snake’s letter and looked like it was preparing to attack someone.
“This snake is highly poisonous, be careful!” Yang Ting spoke up, her face a little pale.
I scanned around with my afterglow and saw a wind-broken branch with a very sharp end to one side.
“What to do what to do, I’m going crazy when I see this ugly thing, my goose bumps are rising, Ouyang Nuo is very close to me and is clutching me tightly in nervous fear.
I wanted to comfort her, but I was scared to see it myself, not to mention it was poisonous.
“If we run now, can we make it in time?” Ouyang Nuo spoke, already starting to move her feet back.
“It’s too late!” Duan Tong spoke up, his voice trembling a little, “It’s bamboo leaf green, it will follow people after it.”
“God!” We can’t just spend time with it like this, can we?
Shi Rui was so frightened that her fat body kept trembling and her face turned mostly white.
“Get rid of it!” These words were spoken by Yang Ting, the skinny and small one, her dark eyes staring at the green snake under the leaves, a little grimmer.
Duan Tong was the closest to the green snake, and as long as she was slightly inattentive, the snake would stretch its neck and bite it.
At this moment she was so scared that her body trembled a little, “You guys don’t provoke it, I’m a little scared.”
“What are you afraid of, you chant sutras day and night, your Buddha will protect you, what are you crawling for?” Ouyang Nuo spoke, clearly sarcastic.
In this situation, no one was too distracted to interrupt.
Yang Ting looked at Duan Tong and spoke, “I’ll count to one, two, three, you prepare to dodge, I’ll throw a stone and smash it, see if I can hit it.”
What?
Duan Tong was a bit tearful, “The probability of hitting a stone is too small, in case it doesn’t hit, won’t I be dead?”
“Can you think of any other way?” Yang Ting asked rhetorically, and Duan Tong shook his head, a little desperate.
“So take a gamble!” After saying that, Yang Ting slowly squatted down and picked up the stone on the ground.
Duan Tong looked like he was about to cry, but for a moment there was no other way but to let it be so.
“One, two, three …… dodge!” The words fell, Duan Tong moved away violently.
The stone in Yang Ting’s hand smashed towards the green snake on the leaves.
