Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 49 Distress
He looked at the jacket Li Kongzhu was holding in his hand, and the pot he was holding.Mai Ya'er's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

He looked up at her and called out, "Sister-in-law...I..." So many people refused ruthlessly, but a sister-in-law who was looked down upon by others treated her sincerely.

At this time, it is best to see a person's sincerity.This completely wiped out the little resentment and petty thoughts that had started in her heart because of something wrong with her family.

"Okay, don't cry. It's time to cry again. Turn around and let Brother Mengzi watch. Maybe I have to abandon you and go find the little girl."

"Sister-in-law..." Mai Ya'er couldn't laugh or cry, and called her out reluctantly.

Li Diaozhu waved the pot in his hand, "Tear some strips of cloth from the ragged jacket. Wrap it around a wooden stick and use it as a torch when you go up the mountain."

"En!" Mai Ya'er obediently tore off a few long pieces of cloth from his torn jacket, just about to say that there was no stick.

But she heard her say again: "Go to Beishan first, and stay on the mountain. There are many!" While speaking, she put the jacket on her body.He walked up first.

Seeing this, Mai Ya'er quickly put on the torn padded jacket, and followed her towards Beishan.

The two walked to Beishan, first found a bush and broke a wooden stick to wrap the cotton cloth.The jar Li Kongzhu was holding was nothing but soybean oil she used for cooking, and she took a wooden stick and soaked it in the jar.

He took a flint and struck it a few times with cleverness.The small sparks that were stained with oil immediately burst into a small flame, and then, with the help of a moderate north wind, they completely swallowed the wrapping cloth on the head of the wooden stick.

"Let's go!" Handing the oil tank to Mai Ya'er, Li Kongzhu personally held the torch and said while protecting her behind him.

Mai Ya'er nodded repeatedly, unable to stop admiring her.

She was so anxious to find a homeland, but she forgot that the mountains were deep and full of jungle beasts, if she went on the road in the dark, let alone going into the deep mountains and thick forests, she would not be able to find her way.That is to say, in case of encountering a large beast, if there is nothing to scare in hand, even if you escape, you will not be able to escape two steps.

After entering the mountains, there is much less heavy snow falling down.Most of them were blocked by layers of branches, and piled up on the branches.

The two stepped on the deep snow that was almost knee deep.Every step I took was strenuous panting.Coupled with the sound of the north wind blowing through the woods in the dark sky, every sound makes people feel terrified.

"Crack!" Just under a tree.The thick snow on the branches fell off because the load exceeded the load.

It happened to hit the top of the head and the body of the two of them.The torch held in Li Kongzhu's hand was also extinguished by the falling of the snowdrift.

Hit by the sudden snow, and frightened by the sudden loss of light.Mai Ya'er was behind her, couldn't help stretching out her hand forward and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law!"

"It's okay!" Li Kongzhu comforted her with trembling lips.It really was that lump of snow that hit her bald head so straight, and rolled into her skirt in an instant.It made her shiver uncontrollably from the cold.

After comforting Mai Ya'er, she quickly wiped off the snow on her body.

Holding the extinguished torch, he asked Malt to open the oil tank, and put the stick head in again to soak in the oil.

After lighting the torch again, the two walked towards the deep mountain again.

According to what Mai Ya'er said, Zhao Mengzi went to the mountain to pick the fruit last time, which was next to a high canyon in the north and south.

When the two were down the mountain, they confirmed the approximate location.As long as you follow the direction of the high mountain, you will not go in the wrong direction.

Specifically, we will talk about it when we arrive at the destination.

Walking panting through the snow all the way.I don't know if it's because they were very lucky. Along the way, apart from occasionally encountering a few pheasants that were startled into the air, there were also wolves howling far away.

At the beginning, the two of them were still terrified by the howling of wolves.But after walking a long way, and hearing those wolf howls, he gradually felt relieved.

After climbing over a small deep ditch, the two of them took advantage of the sloping place to look for the sky vacated by the dense forest and looked outside.

"Coming!"

"Yeah!" Mai Ya'er was sweating all over, and he was very thirsty. While answering her words, he took snow from a small bush and threw it into his mouth.

The cold snow dregs melted away at the speed of chewing, freezing the red meat in his mouth.People couldn't help opening their mouths to let out a breath of cold air.

"Break?"

She was already a little tired after walking in the snow all the way.

Mai Ya'er also knew that he couldn't come in a hurry.Nodded and hummed.

After inserting the third torch that had been burned into the snowdrift, Li Diaozhu couldn't resist anymore and fell down.Regardless of the coolness of the snow on the ground, she stretched comfortably, straightened her hands and feet, and lay there breathing out the smoky air.

"Ha! Much more comfortable!"

Mai Ya'er sat down next to him, looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

"I should be sorry!" Li Kongzhu laughed at himself, seeing that she was about to say something, he quickly reached out his hand to stop what she was about to say.

"Did you hear anything?"

"sound?"

"En." Although it was small, there was a voice coming from the wind.

Malt's heart rose.He looked at her a little excitedly.She wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so anxious that she tightly clutched the front of her chest, not daring to take a big breath.

"Yes~No~Yes~People~" The howling north wind mixed with the swaying sound of dense forest branches.Intermittently, there was such a faint sound of howling.

Li Kongzhu and Mai Ya'er got up quickly.Holding the torch in their hands, they both looked at each other, quickly stepped on the snow, and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

"Huchi~huchi~"

"Is there~ Yes~ someone!"

Rough panting, mixed with the sound of calling for help that was getting closer.The two who were stepping on the deep snow kept walking quickly without feeling tired.

"Ow~~"

"Aww~~Aww~"

Just as the two were approaching the call of the high mountain, a high-pitched wolf howl suddenly sounded.Immediately afterwards, the wolves resonated and howled one after another!

The two people approaching the destination stopped in fright after hearing the howls, and looked at each other with pale faces.

"Sister-in-law~~" Mai Ya'er called her tremblingly.

"Hmm~" Li Kongzhu replied in a not much better way.

"There are wolves!"

"Ok!"

"Help~ Is there anyone here!"

A voice that was close at hand came through the howling north wind.Because I was so close, I could hear clearly.Naturally, the owner of the voice was also recognized.

Li Kongzhu's hand holding the torch trembled a little.

After confirming Zhao Mengzi's voice, Mai Ya'er forgot the threat of the wolves for a moment.He yelled loudly at the source of the sound, "Head of the house~"

"Ow~"

"Ow~"

The pack of wolves seemed to have found a new target, and when called by the leader, they immediately turned to each other and ran towards them.

"Daughter-in-law, be careful~"

"Ow~"

"Be careful~"
