Chapter 150 What is there on the other side of the mountain?

"Oh, good!"

The time was around 10:30 to 11 o'clock. The sun had already risen very high. I was leaning against the earth without any mercy. It felt very hot when I walked on the ridge of the fields. After entering the foot of the mountain, I felt cool.

There was shade from the trees, the dew in the forest had not completely evaporated, the turf on the path was slippery, and the cloth shoes Si Ningning wore almost slipped into a ponytail several times.

Huo Lang couldn't see it, so he took out a wooden stick more than 20 centimeters long from the bamboo basket at his waist. The wooden stick was as smooth as a rolling pin.

He pinched one end himself and reached out to Si Ningning with the other end, indicating to Si Ningning to grab it.

Si Ningning responded slowly and grabbed the other end of the stick with her little hand.

The entire stick is only twenty centimeters long. One person holds one end, and the distance between the two hands is only three or four centimeters. If either hand is slightly forward, it will touch the other's hand.

This feeling is very subtle.

Si Ningning lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden stick in front of him.

Suddenly there was a tugging force from the stick, and she staggered for a moment. She reacted in time to keep up with Huo Lang's speed.

"Are we going very far this time?" she asked, staring at the gun on Huo Lang's shoulder.

On the two previous trips up the mountain, Huo Lang didn't bring a gun.

"It's not far. But we have to cross the creek we came back from last time."

"oh!"

The deep mountains in midsummer are far more lively than when we came here two times before. Both sides of the road are covered with pink and white wild roses. Not only the calls of birds and cicadas, but also the sounds of other animals can be heard from all directions.

The sounds of "oooooooo" and "chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp" were very far away, as if they were coming from across several hills.

After hearing this, Si Ningning felt familiar and vaguely remembered where she had heard it before, but she couldn't remember what animal it was.

She frowned and pouted, listening carefully. Huo Lang looked back and looked funny, and answered her doubts in a low voice: "It's a monkey and a deer."

"Monkeys and deer? There are monkeys and deer here?" Si Ningning was shocked.

Wild deer and monkeys, should I say the ecological environment here is good?

"Yeah." Huo Lang nodded and pointed to the west, "But not here. They don't come here. They usually move around on the top of a few hills."

Si Ningning nodded.

Most wild animals are sensitive, and it is normal for them to be wary and reluctant to approach places where there are traces of human activities.

When we came to the creek we came back to last time, the widest part of the creek was 1.2 meters, and the narrowest part was only about 60 centimeters.

It doesn't matter whether it's wide or narrow, but if she gathers her strength, Si Ningning can step over it, but Huo Lang insists on letting her wait aside.

Si Ningning pursed her lips and waited blankly, but she saw Huo Lang staggered a few steps, bowed, and the loose gown on her shoulders was suddenly bulging, and with a few "clanging chirps", she directly lifted up the crossbar she had picked mushrooms on.

.

This wasn't the end yet, Huo Lang then threw the crossbar out, and there was a "pop" sound, and the crossbar was firmly placed on the stream.

Si Ningning instantly understood Huo Lang's intention. She opened her mouth, but before she could say her thanks, there was another "crash" sound, and Huo Lang's legs had already stepped into the stream.

Huo Lang turned around and looked straight at her with his deep peach blossom eyes, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come here."

He waved to Si Ningning.

To be honest, Si Ningning was completely stunned.

Si Ningning didn't come back to her senses until she was protected by Huo Lang and crossed the creek and stepped on the ground.

Yes, Holang is very careful.

It’s also helpful to be cared for, but…

Is this a bit too much?

She shouldn't be that useless, right?

It's not that Huo Lang thinks Si Ningning is useless, it's because Si Ningning has a pure and delicate face, which gives the impression that he is delicate and needs to be taken care of.

Moreover, the sides of the stream near the water were not as solid as Si Ningning thought. Many places only appeared to be solid ground on the surface, but in fact five to ten centimeters downward were hollows sloping downward.

If Si Ningning takes a running start, if he is lucky, he will be able to cross over. If he is unlucky, he will directly step on the top soil, causing the soil and the person to fall into the water.

Just in case, Holang wanted to be careful.

Huo Lang went ashore and picked up the two bamboo baskets he had just put on the ground. As soon as he crossed the stream, he heard Si Ningning say: "I can actually do it myself."

The little girl's voice was neither soft nor serious. It sounded like she was complaining or protesting. Her pretty face was wrinkled, and she sounded like she was complaining or acting coquettishly.

Huo Lang's voice was hoarse and he laughed teasingly, and comforted him: "It's faster this way."

"Really?" Si Ningning frowned, followed Huo Lang, and hummed, his voice more or less sinister, "Is this faster? I haven't read a book, don't lie to me.

.”

"I never lie." Huo Lang arched his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows. Si Ningning couldn't see where he was, and his smile nearly overflowed from his eyes. "Next time, you can fly over on your feet, and it will be safe."

Come back next time…

"All right."

Si Ningning caught the key word, and the corners of his drooping lips curved slightly, and he was successfully convinced.

Seeing that she was silent, Huo Lang thought she was still angry, so he handed the wooden stick over with his backhand and said, "Catch it. Although there are no deer or monkeys here, there are wild boars that often come out."

"If you get lost, how long will it take to find you across the mountains? It would be bad if you encounter a wild boar."

As he finished speaking, Huo Lang clearly felt that the other end of the stick in his hand was being squeezed tighter.

He was amused, but he didn't want to scare Si Ningning.

A section of the way after crossing the creek, although the terrain is flat, the trees are densely packed visibly to the naked eye.

With the surrounding light dimming, Si Ningning felt a little nervous, fearing that a wild boar would suddenly rush out from any corner.

After walking like this cautiously for another twenty or thirty minutes, Si Ningning's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the forest, and a low and magnetic voice suddenly came from above his head: "We're here."

Huh?

arrive?

Where?

This eerie place...

As Huo Lang pushed aside the tangled bushes in front of him, Si Ningning followed behind and stepped through them. A large amount of sunlight instantly fell on him, and Si Ningning was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes.

She turned her head and closed her eyes to avoid the sun. During this period, the cool breeze carried the fragrance of unknown flowers or some kind of fruit.

Her frown relaxed slightly, her long eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes. In that moment, the pupils of her clear and dark deer eyes trembled in shock.

"here……"

Si Ningning couldn't utter a complete sentence.

because……

It's so beautiful.

After crossing the creek, it was flat ground all the way, but where they were standing now was a high slope.

Looking into the distance, you can see the vast lake surface sparkling in the sun. On the sloping hillside, there are sparse trees and unknown wild flowers of various colors. On the other side of the lake, just a few meters away, there is even...

I could really see the deer grazing with their heads down.

This is a scene that Si Ningning had never imagined.

In other words, no one would have thought that in this remote place, one could actually see scenery that is no less than a 4a-level scenic spot.

Si Ningning let go of the wooden stick in her hand, couldn't help but close her eyes, spread her hands and slowly inhaled and exhaled.

In this short moment, she had an illusion.

What she stepped on was not the land of the 1970s, but a random trip during a short vacation.

It's just a pity that this is not a trip.

Si Ningning suddenly opened his eyes, a sweet smile appeared on his lips, and sighed softly: "It's so good."

After looking at the surrounding scenery, she turned her head and looked at Huo Lang, as if teasing, but also asking seriously: "Is this your way to please girls?"

Ways to please a girl?

Huo Lang thought about it seriously, nodded slightly, and then asked: "Did I succeed?"

"Yeah." Si Ningning nodded gently and looked into the distance again, "It's beautiful here, I like it very much."

Si Ningning always had a bright smile on her face, and the soft light in her eyes could not be removed, but she didn't know why.

Huo Lang felt a little uncomfortable and depressed.

Obviously the other person seemed very happy and satisfied, but he felt an aura of loneliness inexplicably.

"Where are you looking through here?"

The mouth reacts faster than the brain, and by the time it reacts, the words have already left the mouth.
