Chapter 18

White Mountain had always been a mysterious place. There were the three treasures of White Mountain here: ginseng, mink fur, and deer antler. These three treasures had been passed down for thousands of years. They were once tributes to the imperial court. Therefore, there was a long and winding road in White Mountain. It was rumored that it was called the Tribute Road, also known as the Tribute Road.

In fact, there were far more treasures in White Mountain. In this vast forest, there were many more treasures.

They flew in the sky, ran on the ground, swam in the water, and grew in the soil. There were hundreds and thousands of them. Even the hunters and mountain rangers who were most familiar with them could not recognize all of them. Their names and origins were innumerable.

It was said that even the oldest mountain ranger had never been to the depths of White Mountain. Very few people went there. There were countless mountain treasures and wild animals. The newly built forest had named the unexplored area the Mother Forest!

The trees there were tall and sturdy. The pine trees there were as big as two people's fists. The Hei Xiazi there was two meters tall.

There were many rumors about that place, but very few people went there.

"Very few people go there. Didn't our village's ancestor tell us not to go there?

And the witch from the neighboring village, didn't she also say that she was punished there?

Don't go so far! "

Tian Xiaoku used a branch to draw on the snow. From time to time, when he talked about a certain plant or animal, Tian Xiaoku even drew them. Although they were not very beautiful, they were all recorded by the Qian Mingying's Sapiens.

Although there were plants and animals that looked similar to the ones in the Interstellar Qian Mingying lived in, the Sapiens could not provide first-hand information about whether they were poisonous or tasty. These could only be found out after the executor tried them.

"You know a lot."

Qian Mingying praised sincerely. Although there were not many species, they were much larger than wild rabbits and pheasants. Qian Mingying felt that his strength was put to good use.

Tian Xiaoku was a little embarrassed as he erased his drawing with his hand. The ginseng had already been stored in the Sapiens.

"They were all told by our great grandfather. When we were four or five years old, when our great grandfather was still alive, he liked to tell us these things under the big pine tree near the stone mill at the entrance of the village. There were many books in our great grandfather's house!

But it was said that they were all burned down a few years ago. "Tian Xiaoku's mood fell as he spoke.

"Book?"

Qian Mingying knew that every civilization had a carrier. If they wanted to obtain more capital to survive, they could only obtain it from people or books.

Tian Xiaoku nodded. "Isn't the village head's daughter, Shui Xiu, studying in the county?

It's said that there's a library there and you can read a lot of books there. I don't know if it's true or not. "

Qian Mingying's eyes lit up. "Xiaoku, you're on Shui Xiu's side, right?

Why don't you go to school? "

In Qian Mingying's Datian Village, there were very few families who went to school. At least, she saw that the children of her age were basically helping their families with the chores. Only a few of them went to school. This was an almost semi-closed village. Otherwise, Tian Xiaoku's reputation would not be so bad.

Tian Xiaoku gently rubbed the ground with her feet. Confusion and yearning were written all over her face.

"I have to pay a few yuan for tuition and food to go to school. I have no money and no food."

Tian Xiaoku said leisurely. Then she looked up at the sky. "And I'm a child bride of the Tian family. I have to work. Now I'm an even more annoying widow."

After saying that, Tian Xiaoku hugged herself. She hugged her legs tightly, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

Qian Mingying frowned. Here it comes again. Qian Mingying didn't like the appearance of this abandoned grass.

A piece of firewood hit the open space in front of Tian Xiaoku. Tian Xiaoku was startled and woke up from her self-pity. She saw the little person who had been sitting next to her just now stand up and pat herself with her gloved hand.

"Xiaoku, I'm here!

I have plenty of strength. I'll catch wild animals and sell them for money and food. Then you can go to school and go to the county town like my uncle's Shui Xiu. "

Qian Mingying's voice was powerful and resonant. Her crisp voice was like a sweet spring, sweet to Tian Xiaoku's heart and made her feel warm.

"No, I'll earn work points in the spring and send you to school. There's a primary school in the county. Yingzi, you're at the right age to go!" Tian Xiaoku also stood up, as if she had found her purpose in life.

"Really?

I can go to school too! "

Qian Mingying's eyes lit up when she heard that she could also go to school. "Then let's all go. Why wait until spring? We must earn money and save food now!

When spring comes, we can go to school, right? "

Looking at Qian Mingying's bright eyes looking at her, Tian Xiaoku nodded, "Yes, let's go together."

When Qian Mingying heard Tian Xiaoku's words, she felt like her head was about to fly off. "You, wait in the cave!

I'll go catch wild animals! "

"Ah, I'm worried." Tian Xiaoku said. After all, she was older. Although she might be useless, she could still help.

Qian Mingying laughed, "What's there to worry about? I have Shameless. I'll leave this place to you. Let's go, Shameless."

After saying that, Qian Mingying carried the basket and strode out into the woods. Shameless Li Pi lazily got up, stretched his body and quickly caught up with Qian Mingying.

Tian Xiaoku didn't know that Qian Mingying would leave as soon as she said this. She carried the basket and wanted to follow, but Qian Mingying's figure was almost drowned in the woods. Looking at the difference in speed, and thinking about the wolf pack, Tian Xiaoku put down the basket. She thought that if she went alone, she might cause trouble, so she shouted, "Come back quickly before the sun sets!"

The two words "come back" echoed in the woods. After a while, the word "okay" came back, which made Tian Xiaoku feel a little relieved. But thinking about the people who set the mountain free, Tian Xiaoku's heart was blocked again. She said that after today, she must let Qian Mingying go down the mountain and wait for the people who set the mountain free to leave before entering the mountain again.

Regardless of what Tian Xiaoku was thinking, Qian Mingying left Tian Xiaoku's line of sight. She looked at the notification on the AI and started to run. The previous scene of her sinking into a deep pit with every step she took no longer appeared. Perhaps it was because of her speed, but she seemed to be walking on snow without a trace. Even if she ran at full speed, she was still left behind.

Qian Mingying stopped and looked at the AI. The red arrow was not far from her. This was set up before she came. Wild boar, such a profitable and edible thing, how could she miss it?

Shameless followed, panting with its tongue out in such cold weather. Qian Mingying patted its head, "You stay here and rest. I'll go take a look."
