Chapter 226 Falling into the Trap

  The work of the quarry in the next few days was carried out in an orderly manner, and there was basically nothing wrong with Master Zhao.

  The road from the material yard to the foot of the mountain was slowly repaired. After working these days, Guo Xiang decided to give everyone a vacation.

   "Sister Guo Xiang, do you have any fun here?" Shen Meng asked Guo Xiang. It has been ten days since she has been here. She can't help much either in the village or in the material factory. She is a little boring.

  Guo Xiang thought for a while, there is really no place to play in this place.

  "Should we go picking herbs?" Guo Xiang thought that Ji Changlin had taken her to pick herbs in Xiguang, where the scenery was good, and maybe we could still catch prey.

   "Collecting herbs?" Shen Qingshan looked at Guo Xiang curiously, "Do you still know this?"

  Guo Xiang smiled, “Mr. Shen, I haven’t told you yet, I’m a Chinese medicine doctor, and the barefoot doctor in the village is my master.”

   "That's it!" Shen Qingshan nodded.

   "Sister Guo Xiang, where can I find herbal medicine?" Shen Meng's eyes lit up, feeling very funny.

  "In the neighboring province, our side is bordered by Xiguang, and they have large forests on their side. We can go there to pick them." Guo Xiang said.

   "But we don't know herbs!" Shen Meng said.

   "It's okay, just go and play with me, I'll pick it." Guo Xiang smiled, "And maybe you can still catch prey!"

   "Really? Then I'm going!" Shen Meng was excited when she heard that, she had never hunted in the mountains.

   "But it's very far. It takes more than two hours to walk to the foot of the mountain. Don't complain!" Guo Xiang smiled.

   "So far?" Shen Meng pursed his lips, wanting to go but afraid of tiredness, the sun is still so big.

  "Should I borrow a bicycle?" Gu Zhendong said.

  There are only two bicycles in the whole village. Ji Changlin has one. It’s okay to borrow one, and the village committee has one, which should also be available for borrowing.

   "That's OK!" Guo Xiang nodded, borrowing a bicycle is much better than walking.

  Gu Zhendong went to the village committee to borrow a bicycle, and Guo Xiang went to Ji Changlin.

  "Are you going to gather herbs?" Ji Changlin asked.

   "Well, I haven't been there for a long time. I have been too busy recently to draw the Chinese medicine map." Guo Xiang was a little embarrassed, "Master, are you going?"

   "You are all young people, I will not go. Take the realgar, now there are more insects and snakes on the hot mountain!" Ji Changlin said.

   "Hmm." Guo Xiang nodded, took some realgar out of the medicine jar, wrapped it in yellow paper, and divided it into small packets and gave them later.

   Borrowed a bicycle, Guo Xiang returned home, took out the bamboo back basket, and the bow and crossbow used before, which might come in handy later.

  After a while, Gu Zhendong also came back, borrowing the bicycle from the village committee.

   "Teacher Shen, will you go with us?" Guo Xiang asked Shen Qingshan.

   "I won't go, take a good rest at home, go by yourself!" Shen Qingshan waved his hand.

  Guo Xiang nodded. During this time, it was too hard for Mr. Shen to run around about the quarry, so he should rest more.

  I took a straw hat and put it on Shen Meng. Now it’s too hot and my face will be blush when the sun is up.

   "Zhendong, you take Mengmeng, you are a boy with stronger strength." Guo Xiang said.

   "Oh!" Gu Zhendong flushed and nodded.

  Shen Meng got on Gu Zhendong’s bicycle generously, grabbed his clothes with both hands, and Gu Zhendong’s face turned red.

  About an hour, the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain where Guo Xiang and the others had been before. They found a hidden place to hide their bicycles, and the three of them began to go up the mountain.

  "Put this medicine in your pocket. This is for insects and snakes." Guo Xiang handed the realgar to Gu Zhendong and Shen Meng.

  Shen Meng sniffed it curiously, with a pungent smell, she wrinkled her nose and put the medicine in her pocket.

   "Sister Guo Xiang, what kind of herbs do you want to pick, can you teach me?" Shen Meng asked.

  Guo Xiang thought for a while, the complicated ones will definitely not work, and the wrong picking is troublesome, so he picked a few plantain plants on the side of the road. This grass is used for clearing heat and diuresis, and is used more in summer.

   "Just pick this. It's easy to recognize. If you don't pick it, it's okay. Just follow it and play." Guo Xiang showed the plantain to Shen Meng.

   "Oh!" Shen Meng took the plantain against it, and quickly found the same on the ground.

   "Is that this?" Shen Meng pulled up a blade of grass and ran to Guo Xiang happily.

   "Yes, yes, Mengmeng is very smart!" Guo Xiang said.

   "That is!" Shen Meng laughed, with a smug look on her face, Guo Xiang smiled, the little girl is easily satisfied.

  A few people went all the way, Guo Xiang picked a lot of herbs, Gu Zhendong spoke very little, but Shen Meng chirping, asking this while asking that, it was very happy.

   Suddenly Gu Zhendong in front of him stopped, "What's the matter?" Guo Xiang asked.

  Gu Zhendong pointed to the front, and Guo Xiang saw that there was a pheasant!

   "What is it? What is it?" Shen Meng came over and asked.

   "Shhh!" Guo Xiang put his finger on his lips, "Be quiet!"

   "Oh oh!" Shen Meng lowered her voice, her neck shrank, and walked to Gu Zhendong's side and asked softly, "What is it?"

  "It's a pheasant!" Gu Zhendong turned his head and rubbed Shen Meng's cheeks at the corner of his mouth. His face exploded red, and he didn't expect Shen Meng to get so close.

  Shen Meng also stayed for a while, with a blush on his face, pretending not to care, and asked: "Where is it?"

  But if you pay attention to her ears are already red.

   "There!" Gu Zhendong pointed his hand forward, and then looked at Shen Meng. She looked like she had nothing to do. He doubted whether he had an illusion just now, but there was still a bit of numbness in the corner of his mouth, which was not fake.

  Guo Xiang didn’t pay attention to the two of them, and took out the crossbow from the bamboo basket, "Look at me!"

  Install the crossbow arrow, aim, and with a "swish-", the arrow shot out.

   "Hit!" Shen Meng jumped up and ran over.

   "Ah—" Suddenly she screamed, and Shen Meng was gone.

   "Cute!"

   "Little Meng!"

  Guo Xiang and Gu Zhendong were shocked and hurried over.

  I saw a big pit in front, Shen Meng fell into the pit, and the shot pheasant also fell beside her.

   "Mengmeng, how are you doing?" Guo Xiang asked hurriedly.

   "I, I'm okay..." Shen Meng raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Sister Guo Xiang, my feet hurt..."

   "Don't move, your foot may be twisted, we will rescue you immediately, don't be afraid!" Guo Xiang hurriedly comforted Shen Meng.

  Gu Zhendong hurriedly looked around Shen Meng. This pit was a bit deep. It might be a trap that some people wanted to dig for prey. Fortunately, there was no bamboo skewer or anything in it, otherwise people would die if they fell.

   "Sister-in-law, you are here to watch, I will find some vines!" Gu Zhendong said, ran to the bushes on the side.

  "Be careful!" Guo Xiang called from behind.

   turned around and looked at Shen Meng again, “Mengmeng, don’t be afraid, Zhendong will look for something and pull you up later, don’t be afraid!”

   "Hmm!" Shen Meng replied, with a nasal sound, her feet hurt and she was scared. She felt a little embarrassed to cry.

   "It's all my fault that I shouldn't have brought you to this mountain. I didn't expect that there are traps on the mountain..." Guo Xiang blamed himself.

Shen Meng raised her head and said, "Sister Guo Xiang, don’t blame you, I blame myself for being too careless. Actually...it’s fine for me to fall, otherwise you or Gu Zhendong will come to pick up the pheasant, and one of you will also be injured. I will suffer for you. It's worth it."

  Shen Meng said pretentiously, with tears in her eyes.

  Guo Xiang tickled the corner of his mouth. This silly girl is really silly and cute.
