Chapter 398
After carrying the basket over, she saw several oil-paper bags tied to a hemp rope in the basket. She opened the oil-paper bags one by one, including dried meat, candied fruits, twists, and melon seeds.
Su Wan looked at Xiao Cao, who was concentrating on picking hops not far away. These things were clearly prepared by Xiao Cao herself, because Ms. Chen prepared snacks for her, which were usually popcorn and homemade pancakes.
These are the things I bought.
It's not that Mrs. Chen is reluctant to buy these for her to eat, but that Ms. Chen rarely goes to the market and has nowhere to buy them if she wants to.
Su Wan took a piece of dried meat and put it into her mouth. It was spicy, which she liked, but this package seemed to taste better than what she had eaten before. She narrowed her eyes slightly in satisfaction.
The work of picking hops went smoothly, and by mid-afternoon, the two sets of burdens and a large basket they brought were already full.
Gu Erniu and Gu Sanniu carried the burden, Gu Yuan carried the basket on his back, and Su Wan waved her hands and followed them down the mountain towards home.
Before I even walked out of the mountains, I heard a girl's anxious cry for help, "Help, help, is there anyone, help..."
At the beginning, the sound was not very clear, and several people thought they were hearing hallucinations. After all, no one would come to this deep mountain under normal circumstances, but the further they walked, the clearer the sound became.
Without hesitation, Gu Erniu put down the burden on his shoulders and said to Gu Yuan and Su Wan: "Fourth brother, you are taking care of Wan Ya here. Your third brother and I will go over and see if someone fell into the trap of Orion."
In a trap."
Gu Sanniu hesitated for a moment, "Second brother, why don't we just ignore this business? I heard from the old people in the village that there are some spirits in the mountains who specialize in imitating the voices of young women and attracting strong men to drink blood and eat meat.
.
Think about it, any girl would come to this deep mountain and old forest."
Su Wan, who often runs alone into the mountains and forests:...
Gu Erniu also said: "Wan Ya often comes to the mountains alone, what if she is a girl like Wan Ya who comes to the mountains to collect medicine?"
When Gu Sanniu heard this, he remembered the problem and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Wanya, I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I just said."
Su Wan waved her hand, "It's okay, second brother, third brother, I'd better follow you there. I know medical skills. If the girl asking for help is injured, I can treat her in time."
Gu Yuan stood next to Su Wan, "Third brother, you stay here and look after our things. Wanwan, second brother, I, and I will go over and take a look."
Gu Sanniu was still a little worried and told him, "Then be careful. If you see something is wrong, run back quickly."
Gu Erniu nodded, "No need."
Su Wan followed Gu Erniu and Gu Yuan, walking in the direction of the sound.
The sound is getting clearer and clearer.
Gu Erniu, who was walking at the front, quickened his pace. He emerged from a bush and was about to lift his feet when Gu Yuan pulled him back with quick eyes and hands, "Second brother, be careful!"
Gu Erniu stopped and took a closer look, and found that there was no solid ground behind the bush, but a huge naturally formed hole.
It was pitch black inside the pit, and you couldn't see the bottom. The walls of the pit were also very smooth. If you fell in, there was no possibility of climbing out on your own.
The cry for help came from this pit.
Gu Erniu's expression changed when he saw the hole, "Fourth Brother, is this really what Third Brother said? Is it some kind of spirit living in this hole that's luring us here?"
