Chapter 147 Go home, a surprise for Li Siyu
Zhang Hao lifted the thing he grabbed hard and saw that it was a small animal covered in mud and about the same size as Xiao Bai.
The four hooves waved wantonly in the air, opened the tender little mouth, and let out a milky cry.
"Ouch, ow~"
Zhang Hao's face darkened.
No need to guess, what he caught was Xiaobai, who got into the mudslide.
"If you crawl in there, you won't be afraid of choking to death." Zhang Hao laughed and cursed, then put Xiao Bai on the ground.
Xiaobai didn't bother to shake off the mud on his body, and started barking not far away in front of him.
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
He would also shake his head from time to time, as if signaling to his owner that there was something over there.
Zhang Hao also noticed this situation and looked in the direction of Xiaobai's shout.
There was nothing there, just mud on the ground and things that couldn't be identified as weeds or saplings.
He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment.
Then he took out the incense ash from the lining of his clothes, and then smeared it into his eyes again.
Judging from the current situation, the "mountain treasure" has run away. He can use incense ash to apply under his eyes to see the traces left nearby.
You can't come here this time and compete with this mountain treasure in the air without even finding any trace of the opponent. In that case, it would be too unreasonable.
Even if this mountain treasure runs away, at the very least, he must know something about this mountain treasure.
Just after he smeared the incense ash under his eyes, he opened his eyes again, and something had changed before his eyes.
Zhang Hao walked closer and looked at it carefully.
There is no longer only mud that cannot be seen at the edge, nor is there only things that can't be distinguished from weeds or saplings, but there are many densely packed traces of things that can't be explained.
Among them, there are plum blossom marks, like those left by foxes, and another plum blossom mark, which is left by the mountain god deer. At the same time, you can also see that some of the marks are left by Xiaobai.
In addition to these marks, most of the other marks are human footprints, which should be left by the program crew.
There was only one mark that made Zhang Hao feel a little strange, or rather, something was wrong.
This mark is relatively long and narrow, but it is not a trace left by dragging, but more like a footprint? And this long and narrow mark is very narrow, like the branches on a sapling that has not yet grown up.
More importantly, there is a deeply sunken round object in the center of this mark, like a ball under the "foot"?
Strange...it was like the footprints left by something, but he didn't know what it was.
I have never seen such strange footprints, and I have never heard of anything that could have such footprints.
Could it be that the mountain treasure left it behind?
After all, the footprints left by some mountain treasures not only look like footprints, but are also related to their own characteristics, such as [Ginseng Carriage].
The traces left behind are the traces dragged out by the ginseng roots when they walked on the road.
So, this long and narrow trace...
Zhang Hao tentatively followed the trace and walked forward, but before he had gone a hundred meters away, the trace completely disappeared without a trace. Even with the ashes of incense, he could not find its trace.
It seems that that thing must have used escape or some other means to escape from here. It seems that it is also afraid that he will find him by following the traces he left.
Really cautious.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath, then exhaled it for a long time, shook his head helplessly, then turned around and returned to the same place along the way he came.
This time, he can be 100% sure that he has not been deceived by the Eighteen Realms, and he can also be sure that everything he sees now is normal and the most real.
He lifted up Xiaobai who was covered in mud, walked to a small puddle, gave Xiaobai a simple cleansing, and then said to Xiaobai: "Go find something to eat, and give it to Xiaobai by the way." Look for some stupid deer too.”
Xiaobai tilted his head, looked at the owner, and then at the silly deer. He felt a little helpless, but in the end he reluctantly walked towards the silly deer.
Zhang Hao looked at Xiaobai leaving and felt a little funny.
Then, he looked at the surrounding environment, focusing on the place where the thing had been before, that is, the southeast corner, hoping to find some remaining traces.
But this thing was too cautious. Apart from the weird mark that might have been left by Him, it left no traces, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
After searching for a long time, Zhang Hao couldn't find any traces. In the end, he had no choice but to give up the idea of continuing to search, and then joined the queue to look for food for the Mountain God Deer and Xiao Bai.
……
The rain is getting lighter, the clouds are getting thinner, the thunder has faded, and the dark clouds are no longer there.
Dots of sunlight are like a sharp sword piercing from the sky, shining straight into the mountains and forests.
Zhang Hao raised his head, looked up at the ray of sunshine in the sky, and handed the newly dug Polygonum multiflorum to the mountain god deer's mouth.
The mountain god deer opened its mouth wide and put the whole root of Polygonum multiflorum directly into its mouth. It squinted its eyes with great satisfaction and chewed it in big mouthfuls.
It enjoyed the meal this time. Zhang Hao did not lie to it. He really found a lot of food for it. It did eat the cake Zhang Hao drew before.
Of course, Xiaobai also ate a lot of delicious food, and he kept licking it with his tongue with satisfaction.
Zhang Hao patted the dirt on his hands and couldn't help but smile helplessly as he looked at the two "mountain spirits" who were eating and drinking.
Yes, the biggest gain from this trip to the mountains was to tame the mountain god deer, and then discover traces of a suspected mountain treasure, although in the end the mountain treasure ran away.
However, Zhang Hao believed that this mountain treasure had already formed a so-called cause and effect relationship with him. Maybe he could meet this mountain treasure next time he went into the mountain, and maybe this mountain treasure would come to him on its own initiative in the future.
After all, he "ruined" this mountain treasure's growth plan this time.
Of course, if this Shanbao hadn't been too greedy and wanted to take advantage of the mountain's growth, speeding up the mudslide, he wouldn't have noticed that Shanbao was there, and naturally he wouldn't have noticed Shanbao's greed.
In general, everything happens for a reason. Thinking of this, Zhang Hao simply dusted off the dirt on his body, picked up Xiaobai who was full, and climbed onto the deer's back. He patted the deer's neck and said, "Let's go, take me down the mountain, silly deer."< br>
"Hmm~" The mountain god deer stopped making dissatisfied calls this time, and he was very happy.
After all, no matter what, it was Zhang Hao who made it full, and it was Zhang Hao who found so many delicious foods for it. It also believed that as long as it followed Zhang Hao, there would be delicious food, and there would be delicious food. of.
What's more, Zhang Hao is still a mountain walker, and the only one in the world who can make him full is Zhang Hao.
Hmm... Xiaobai's dog can barely be considered one.
Without thinking too much, the mountain god deer once again let out a cry of joy, turned around, and galloped away down the mountain.
……
With the speed of the mountain god deer, it didn't take long to send Zhang Hao and Xiao Bai to the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the familiar path leading down the mountain to the entrance of the village, Zhang Hao got off the deer's back.
The rain has stopped, the thick clouds have long since dissipated, and the sun is shining on the earth again, as if everything has passed, and as if nothing has happened.
Zhang Hao stood there for a long time. He turned around silently and looked at the mountain god deer behind him.
The mountain god deer turned away, unwilling to look at him, as if he was disgusted, and also seemed to be urging him to leave quickly.
Zhang Hao smiled, put Xiaobai in the solid spirit basket, raised his hand, and said hello to the Mountain God Deer: "I'm leaving, please stay well on the mountain until the next time I go into the mountain. , and find you something to eat.”
"Hmm!" The mountain god deer responded in a low voice, as if he was saying arrogantly, "It's a deal."
Zhang Hao smiled, raised his hand and stroked the deer's head, then turned around and walked forward along the path down the mountain.
The mountain god deer turned his head calmly and looked at Zhang Hao's leaving back, with a look in his eyes that seemed to be filled with reluctance and a little concern.
It watched Zhang Hao's figure getting further and further away, and finally, it couldn't help but scream.
"Hmm~!" (When will you go into the mountains next? Don't wait too long!)
I saw Zhang Hao raised his hand and shouted: "It won't be long, wait until I enter the mountain to summon you!"
"Hmm~" (Okay!)
Then, the mountain god deer shook its head proudly, raised its four hooves, and ran deep into the forest.
Zhang Hao, at this time, also turned his head and watched the mountain god deer gradually disappear into the forest. He shrugged. Then, he looked at the Guling Basket. When he felt the movement in the Guling Basket, he His face changed with surprise, and he suddenly opened the lid of the solid spirit basket.
His face immediately darkened.
Sure enough, his guess was correct, Xiaobai was chewing the wild fruit he picked, mountain eggplant!
In just a short while, Xiaobai had already eaten two or three.
Zhang Hao decisively lifted Xiao Bai up from the solid basket. Looking at the round belly that seemed to be bursting, he cursed: "You! You just ate so much, why are you still eating? You are not afraid. Hold on! ”
Xiao Bai ignored it and continued to chew the eggplant in his mouth as if it was the most delicious thing. Even if he was beaten, he would continue to eat and never spit it out.
Zhang Hao is both angry and funny.
He picked these mountain eggplants and planned to bring them back to Siyu to try. These things used to be everywhere in the mountains and plains, but as time went by, they were almost invisible. This time I encountered them while walking in the mountains. , just treat it as a kind of memory from childhood, pick it up and eat some.
Not for anything else, just to recall the pure joy of my childhood.
Fortunately, he picked more this time and discovered it early. If he had discovered it later, Xiaobai might have eaten them all.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao threw Xiaobai out of the spirit basket and let him walk on the muddy road by himself.
Xiaobai didn't seem to care. Perhaps he had eaten something delicious and forgot all his unhappiness. He waggled his tail, licked his tongue, and skipped ahead.
Zhang Hao shook his head and laughed, silently following behind.
The road down the mountain was still muddy after the rain, and the feeling of stepping on it was not pleasant, but fortunately, Zhang Hao had long been accustomed to this kind of touch, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
When passing by the simple [Mountain Temple] he had set up before, Zhang Hao couldn't help but smile as he looked at the simple rain shelter built from a few scrap umbrellas.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that it was probably Siyu who did it, probably because he was afraid that the rain would get on the burning incense.
Moreover, before entering the mountain, he also told Li Siyu that it might rain.
Li Siyu is a careful person, and she is concerned about Zhang Hao's hiking. Things like this are only possible with a very small probability in the eyes of outsiders, but as long as it is something Zhang Hao said, she will believe it. , and make some measures.
Zhang Hao looked at the four different mountain gods stuck out of yellow paper, as well as the followers of the mountain gods, as well as the burnt incense ashes of the incense burner.
He immediately knelt down and put away the statue of the mountain god, the followers of the mountain god, and the incense burner.
These things must be taken away after you get off the mountain. Otherwise, if you want to perform the mountain entering ceremony next time you enter the mountain, there will be conflicts, which is absolutely undesirable.
Moreover, for props such as those used in ceremonies, try to use only one of them to avoid replacing them, because the longer something like an incense burner is used, it will be stained with scent, and this scent can be used during the ceremony of entering the mountain. When the time comes, a little more help and a little more blessing.
After collecting all his belongings, Zhang Hao did not forget to clean the place briefly.
Then, he took Xiaobai again and continued walking along the path.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, the previous dirt road had been replaced by an asphalt road. Even the road construction in the village had drainage channels designed in advance. When it rains, the rainwater will be drained directly along the drainage channels.
If the road had not been built before, if it had rained heavily like today, the road would have been washed out, and there would have been flooding in the village, which would have flooded the land in the village. Condition.
He had seen it several times before, and it rained heavily, and then the land outside the village was flooded, and all the things he had worked hard to grow were destroyed, and some even had their houses abandoned because of the heavy rain.
However, this is no longer the case.
Zhang Hao was thinking as he took Xiaobai on the newly built asphalt road on his way home.
When he stood in front of the third courtyard, he pushed open the door and shouted loudly: "Siyu, Xiaobai and I are back, and we brought you delicious food!"
