Chapter 347 This forest is so strange
"We won't pick wild vegetables for now. We have no shortage of wild vegetables. Let's walk around to see if there are any better things. We can't waste our precious time on worthless wild vegetables." Xia Chan gave it to Zhou Qizhi. After grabbing a self-defense tool, the two of them walked forward cautiously.
Zhou Qizhi held Xia Chan's hand throughout the whole process, watching all directions and listening in all directions. He not only focused on the front, but also on the back of Xia Chan, fearing that something would attack Xia Chan from behind.
As the two of them walked, they heard the sound of water flowing. Xia Chan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there a river in here?"
"Let's go take a look." Zhou Qizhi took Xia Chan and followed the direction of the sound. When he walked out of the small forest, he saw a river in front of him, and there was a forest on the other side of the river.
There is still white mist on the river, which looks ethereal and ethereal.
Xia Chan couldn't help but feel excited. Could there be a hot spring here? Otherwise, why would the temperature in this forest be so high? Just like summer, not wearing summer clothes can smother them to death.
What kind of magical treasure land did they discover? It's so nice here, and the scenery is really beautiful!
"Zhou Qizhi, let's come here every winter from now on!" Xia Chan said excitedly.
"Don't you need to go to Xiao's house?" As long as Xia Chan wants to come, he will naturally accompany her. It is impossible for him to let other men accompany his lover to such a place.
But it’s really unrealistic to come here every year.
Xia Chan thought about it, "Then we will come here the year we don't go to the Xiao family. We will go straight here and not waste time elsewhere."
When she came to the river, Xia Chan pulled a piece of grass and touched the river water. Seeing that the water was not corrosive, she stretched out her hand. Sure enough, it was hot. Xia Chan was very happy, "Zhou Qizhi, this water is hot." Yes, it’s a hot spring. We can take a bath in the hot spring.”
Zhou Qizhi also reached out and touched it. He couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He didn't expect that it was actually a hot spring.
"Zhou Qizhi, let's find an open space tomorrow and build a wooden house. This way we can come here for vacation in the winter, and we can also bring everyone here with us." Xia Chan was very happy. She knew there were good things in the deep mountains and old forests. But I didn’t expect that such a good place existed. It was really a worthwhile trip!
Zhou Qizhi also happily agreed. He was naturally happy to be able to vacation in such a beautiful place with her.
"The water temperature upstream should be higher. Let's go upstream and have a look!" Then the two people walked upstream along the edge of the river. They were afraid of snakes, insects, rats, ants and other things in the grass, so they used bamboo poles as they walked. Knocking.
As they walked, the two noticed that there were many game animals drinking water on the other side of the river, including wild boars, pheasants, wild goats, wild deer, silly roe deer, hares... and some that Xia Chan didn't recognize.
Xia Chan held Zhou Qizhi's hand tightly, mentally prepared for the prey to rush over and take Zhou Qizhi to hide in the space. However, the prey was completely indifferent as if it had not seen them.
The wild boar even looked at them for a few times, and then continued to drink water without any movement at all.
"What's going on? Pheasants and hares don't run away when they see us, but why are wild boars so indifferent? Are the prey here not aggressive towards humans?" Xia Chan was confused.
"No matter, if you don't attack us, we will be safer." Zhou Qizhi pulled Xia Chan and continued walking. "How can we let so many prey go in vain?" Xia Chan asked.
"How many do you want?" Zhou Qizhi asked.
"Not too many. Let's get twelve of each large prey, and twenty small ones!" There are a lot of prey in this forest, and catching a few can control the population to prevent the population from flooding and hurting people when they go down the mountain.
Seeing that Zhou Qizhi was about to pass, Xia Chan hurriedly pulled him back, "I'll go by myself. I can just take it in without any trouble."
"I'll go with you." Zhou Qizhi said seriously, how could he let Xia Chan face danger alone!
The river was not deep, so the two of them waded directly to the opposite river. They were very close to the prey. However, the prey did not run away, the pheasants did not fly, and the hares did not run. Xia Chan felt very strange. Isn’t it a bit stupid that the prey has no natural enemies?
Seeing that the pheasant was not flying, Xia Chan reached out to hug it, just like hugging an old domestic hen. She hugged it very easily, and then put it directly into the space.
She didn't collect too many. She collected twenty pheasants, hares, and pigeons each, and twelve large prey each, and then left here with Zhou Qizhi.
Zhou Qizhi also felt very strange. These prey were obviously alive. Why would such an obedient Xia Chan go and collect them?
After walking far away, Zhou Qizhi looked back and saw that the prey was gone. He broke into a cold sweat and suspected that he and Xia Chan had just hallucinated. He hurriedly reminded, "Xiao Chan, look at what you just did." The harvested prey is still gone.”
Xia Chan thought it was quite strange, but she still closed her eyes and took a look. She saw that the prey were sleeping well in the space. She even grabbed a rabbit from inside and said, "They are all here!"
Thinking that the prey should have gone back to rest after eating and drinking, Zhou Qizhi felt relieved at this time, but he still felt that this forest was too strange.
I don’t know how there is such a place in the deep mountains and old forests.
The two people walked for a while and saw a natural embankment, which connected the two sides of the river like a bridge, but there was a hole in the middle to allow the river water to flow downstream.
Xia Chan stood on the embankment and used the bamboo pole in her hand to test the water level upstream. It was a bit deep. Then she tested the water level downstream. The water level downstream was less than one meter deep, only a few dozen centimeters deep. It was better to soak in the downstream side. It's safer.
"The water here is shallower, let's take a dip here!" Xia Chan then carefully got into the water, then squatted down so that the hot spring water covered her shoulders, "This hot spring is so comfortable to soak in, Zhou Qizhi , come here and try.”
"Okay." Zhou Qizhi also got into the water. The warm water soaked into the skin, which really gave people a very comfortable and enjoyable feeling, relaxing the whole body. "This is indeed a good place."< br>
"I want to come here and soak in hot springs every day." Xia Chan sighed, "Why is our home so far away from here? I feel so sorry when I think that I won't be able to soak in hot springs like this when I go back. I really want to live there. Here.”
"Why don't you collect some hot spring water and take it back? Then I'll ask a carpenter to build a bath bucket. From now on, you can bathe in the hot spring at home, or we can bathe together. This way we can save a bucket of water." Zhou Qizhiyou When he arrived at Xia Chan's side, he reached out and took her into his arms, looking at her like this.
When Xia Chan heard Zhou Qizhi's proposal, a gleam of light rose in her eyes. When she heard the words behind her, she couldn't help but poked his abdominal muscles, "Want to take a hot spring bath with me? What you're thinking is too beautiful, isn't it? ! ”
"I'm taking a bath with you right now!" Zhou Qizhi hugged Xia Chan and said with a smile, and then said extremely seriously, "Xia Chan, you are so beautiful."
