Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]

Chapter 8

Huo Lan is in a good mood today. Although he hasn't seen Yun Miaoqing in the past month, Yun Miaoqing has taken her things.And just yesterday, the magistrate of the magistrate went to Yun Miaoqing's place in a sedan chair, and the accompanying servants picked up two large boxes of gifts, but they were also turned away.Yun Miaoqing neither saw anyone nor accepted the gift, in contrast, Huo Lan felt that she was very lucky.

Now she is a wild child in the countryside, with a very different status from Yun Miaoqing, and she has disturbed others time and time again, but they do not think she is wishful thinking and do not know what is good or bad, nor do they feel at ease to enjoy her kindness.

Of course, she was willing to give things to Yun Miaoqing, and Yun Miaoqing was very satisfied if she could accept her, but Yun Miaoqing also gave her money every time as something to buy her, so that she would not suffer in vain. Thinking of this, Huo Lan's heart was full of pride.

Even though the two people's acquaintance process in this life was somewhat tortuous, the owner of that mansion is still the Yun Miaoqing she knew, the best person in the world!

It's interesting to say that Huo Lan delivered mountain goods to Yun Zhai every day, and saved a small amount of money in one month. If it is not counted in her previous life, then now is the richest time in her life in the past 15 years.

She was not willing to spend the money recklessly, and planned to save the money to buy some small gifts for Yun Miaoqing and mix them in the mountain goods.It just so happens that there will be a fair in town tomorrow, so you can go and see it then.

Having made up his mind, Huo Lan left the cave where he lived with a basket on his shoulders.The weather has been getting hotter recently, and the Chungu fruit that Yun Miaoqing likes to eat is no longer hard to find.

She walked towards the depths of Bailu Mountain, and passed several Chungu fruit trees, but none of them were very good. It looks like it will fall to the ground and smash it at any time.

Huo Lan is very familiar with Bailushan, and knows where there will be good Chungu fruit.Turn over the mountain in front, and then go north to a shady valley. It is said that there are wild boars and bears infested in that area. Except for hunters, people in the nearby villages will not go there.

Haunted... Doesn't mean you will definitely meet them... There are many places in this mountain that are said to be haunted by wild beasts. She has been to many places, but she has not encountered them so far.

Although Huo Lantian set off as soon as the sun was shining, and the sun was already high when he arrived at the place, fortunately, the hard work was not in vain. There are many Chungu fruit trees scattered there. Because the temperature in this place is lower than other places, the fruits on the trees Looks just right.

Few people come here, but there are many traps set by hunters.Huo Lan carefully avoided the traps on the ground, and nimbly climbed up the tree, picking up the plump, round and attractive fruits.Since they were seldom picked by people before, there are many fruits on each tree, and some Huo Lan can pick good ones without even climbing up.

After a while, the basket was full, so Huo Lan randomly found a big rock and sat down, inspected the Chungu fruits in the basket one by one, picked out three lesser ones, and found better ones to fill them up.

Seeing a basket full of good spring aunts, Huo Lan was finally satisfied this time. She stuck the basket between the branches, jumped down from the branch, and then turned around to get the basket. Her fingers just touched the bamboo. At the edge of the basket, I suddenly heard a rustling sound from behind, mixed with one or two thick snorts.

Huo Lan's heart shuddered, and he turned his head to look behind him. He saw a half-man-tall wild boar panting through the bushes, with long tusks protruding from both sides of its mouth, and a pair of small black bean-like eyes. Gougou stared at her, an uninvited guest in the valley.

Why are you so back!

Huo Lan cursed inwardly, and turned around slowly, trying not to irritate the wild boar.The wild boar stopped five or six feet away from Huo Lan, one person and one pig faced each other quietly, and no one acted rashly.

In the end, the wild boar became impatient during the long wait. It grunted a few times and scratched the ground twice with its front hooves, showing a tendency to explode at any time.

Huo Lan guessed that the wild boar probably didn't intend to let her go today, so he ran away.When she came here, she carefully remembered where the hunter's traps were placed, and while being careful not to step in, she hoped that the traps would catch the wild boar.

This time she was lucky, she didn't run far when she heard a soft "click", the wild boar limped on its front legs and rolled several feet away.

The end of the trap was attached to a large and thick iron chain, and the other end of the chain was hung under a big tree.Huo Lan stopped, seeing that the wild boar couldn't get rid of the trap no matter how hard he tried, he felt relieved a little, and wanted to go around the wild boar to retrieve his bamboo basket, but just as he took a step, the wild boar snapped He rushed towards her again!

Logically speaking, such a thick iron chain cannot be broken. It must be some careless hunter who did not fasten it firmly.

I really shouldn't expect anything from my luck!Huo Lan ran wildly again. Fortunately, the wild boar had a lame leg, otherwise she might not be able to run.

Probably aroused by the pain, the wild boar ran after Huo Lan for a while, not only did not slow down due to the injured leg, but it became faster and faster.On the other hand, Huo Lan, because his physical strength is not as good as this beast, the longer he drags, the more difficult it becomes, and his speed gradually slows down.

She hadn't eaten since she came out in the morning. After running for so long, she felt that her eyes were darkened, and her legs were limp and uncontrollable. She tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground. .

The urgency of time did not allow her to think too much, the survival instincts she had cultivated during her escape for so long made her roll several times on the spot, and as soon as she stopped, she saw that the wild boar had knocked out from where she had fallen before.

There was a slight creaking sound in the forest, which was the light sound of pulling the bowstring.However, Huo Lan didn't have the energy to pay attention to these at the moment. The wild boar hit the air, stopped not far away, turned its head and aimed at Huo Lan's place again.

There was no time for Huo Lan to stand up, she put her hands on the ground and fell back and to the left, and the wild boar rushed in front of her in an instant, and she even felt that the stench sprayed from the wild boar's mouth was about to smudge her face .

Huo Lan turned her head subconsciously, only to hear a series of noises, a big pit appeared three feet in front of her, and the wild boar had already fallen into the pit.

It's so dangerous... Huo Lan stroked his chest, and crawled to the edge of the pit with his body that was about to lose strength.Under the pit, more than ten sharp bamboos pierced through the wild boar's body. The wild boar's limbs were still twitching, and there was no movement after a while.

After confirming that the wild boar was dead, Huo Lan turned over and lay on the edge of the pit with his arms and legs spread out.

This trap was set by her overnight. Before that, she made a special trip to consult Orion Wu Shan. She learned from Wu Shan how big and deep to dig, how to camouflage the surface, and how long the bamboo should be kept so that it will not be broken. Smoothly pierce the falling beast.

She dug several traps like this one.Past experience tells her that she can have expectations for unknown encounters, but don't take chances. She dares to go to these dangerous places, but she doesn't want to give her life here yet.

After relaxing, Huo Lan felt a sharp pain on his right forearm. He turned his head and saw that the right sleeve was torn for a long time, and it was soaked with blood in just a short while.Huo Lan rolled up his sleeves and checked the wound. It wasn't too deep, and it didn't hurt any vital muscles, but it was very long and looked scary.

Not far from her, there were a few sharp pebbles with blood stains on them, which should have been scratched by them when he fell just now.In addition to the severe injury, her elbows, knees, and legs also had abrasions of varying degrees.

Huo Lan tore off the hem of his clothes and simply tied up the wound on his right arm, because it was inconvenient to use his left hand, so it was tied crookedly. Fortunately, the bleeding from the wound stopped.She rested on the spot for a while, and felt that her physical strength was almost recovered, so she went to the valley again, where the fruits she picked were still there.

Along the way, Huo Lan paid full attention to her surroundings. This time, she didn't encounter any beasts and got back her basket smoothly.

Going back and passing by a steep slope, Huo Lan slipped on the sole of his foot when going downhill, and he was not injured, but several Chungu fruits rolled out of the basket, leaving some ugly marks on the good fruits.

Back in the cave, Huo Lan picked out the broken Chungu fruit and kept it for himself to eat.Looking at the half-empty basket, she had no choice but to pick up some wild vegetables and fungi to make up the count.

Too much bad luck happened today.In the past, every time Huo Lan went to Yunzhai, she wore old clothes and returned them to the old ones. At least she was clean. Today, she was sweating from a race with wild boars, rolled on the ground and was covered in dust, and finally shed a lot of blood. She was so embarrassed. Did not see.When she finally went to the river to take a bath and tidy herself up, and then washed the fruits and wild vegetables, the moon came out.

Although it was getting late, Huo Lan still decided to send the things to Yunzhai.This is her chance to see Yun Miaoqing once a day, although it is slim, how can she miss it for nothing?Even if she didn't see anyone, she would be happy to let Yun Miaoqing eat the fresh fruits and vegetables she sent tomorrow.

Without the villagers who work during the day, the foot of Bailu Mountain is very quiet, only the intermittent chirping of insects and moonlight.

Huo Lan came to Yunzhai with a basket on his uninjured left arm, put the basket by the door as usual, picked up yesterday's empty basket, and there was a string of money in the basket as usual.

She knocked lightly on the door three times.She has been like this every time in the past month. Except for the old man who opened the door for the first time, no one behind has opened the door.

After three beeps, Huo Lan stood by the door for a while, but the door was still closed tightly.

It seems that today is also a day when Miao Qing will not be seen.Huo Lan was a little disappointed, but on second thought, maybe it was because it was too late, everyone might have fallen asleep.

It must be like this, maybe Miaoqing will be willing to see her when she wakes up tomorrow.Huo Lan said coaxing words in his heart, knowing that there was little hope, but he was also very happy.

"Have a good dream." She looked at the pitch-black small building and said to Yun Miaoqing silently.

At this moment, with a muffled "squeak—" the door in front of him opened.
