Lost things suddenly appear where they were found, and surprises abound.
When Chen Wanbai took a closer look, she realized that it was indeed the backpack she had discarded while chasing the deer.
Her mood suddenly became excited. She went up the mountain to search for the basket several times, but could not find it. She was even about to give up, but she didn't expect that she would bump into it today.
This mountain is not an ordinary small forest. You can't just walk around and get a clear picture of the situation. Even if she had marked it, she might not be able to remember the route if she went around it and came back.
After all, these trees look almost the same, and coupled with the criss-crossing, clueless vines and weeds that are much taller than a person, it is difficult to tell the direction.
The basket is not important, the important thing is the yams in the basket.
Chen Wanbai squatted down and found that there were still some yams in the basket, but most of them were scattered on the ground.
There were obvious gnawing marks on the outside and bottom of the backpack, as if it had been bitten by a small animal. There was a little bit of soil on the scattered yams, and some of them had been chewed to pieces.
Chen Wanbai gently picked up the yams on the ground and found that some of them had begun to rot. Although the winter cold has slowed the rate of decay, the skin of the yams still looks a little soft.
She picked them up and put them into her backpack, preparing to throw them into the trap later.
After packing his backpack, Chen Wanbai decided to walk around and look for the yam field.
She looked around and found that she could no longer remember which direction she came from. However, she decided to solve the problem through a process of elimination.
She first ruled out the direction she had just walked, and then ruled out a direction going down the mountain. In this way, there were only two directions left, and she could only choose one to try. If she found that she was going in the wrong direction, she would go back and search again.
She chose a direction, took steps, and walked along the path in the mountains. Although there is some uncertainty, if you don’t even try, you will definitely not be able to find it.
Holding a hatchet in her hand, she began to walk hard through the overgrown forest. Dense branches and vines blocked her path. While wielding the hatchet to cut out the path, she carefully observed the surrounding environment, hoping to find familiar marks.
On the way, she stopped several times to rest and wipe the sweat from her forehead. Although the weather was cold, the physical exertion made her feel hot all over. She thought back to the last time she came here, trying to recreate the location of the yam field in her mind.
Finally, after a difficult trek, Chen Wanbai saw a familiar mark - a crooked old pine tree.
She felt excited, quickened her pace, and waved the hatchet in her hand into an afterimage.
After a while, she saw the yam field. Yam leaves in the winter sunThere was a shimmer in the light, and the tops of some yams were exposed on the ground.
A happy smile appeared on her face, she finally found it.
She took out a small hoe and started digging.
This time, she didn’t plan to dig any more, and she wanted to leave time to clear the way.
That's right, she doesn't want to be unable to find this place again after she goes back. She plans to open a road along this land so that she can come back next time.
After digging a few yams, Chen Wanbai stopped digging, stood up, and looked around. She looked around, picked a direction, picked up the hatchet and started to clear the way. The vines and branches were still dense, but this time, she chopped more vigorously.
As she cut the path, she marked the tree trunks and stones to ensure she could find it easily next time.
Chen Wanbai on the mountain was chopping tigers and tigers, while Liu at the foot of the mountain was looking forward to seeing them.
"Xiao Bai goes up the mountain on weekdays, will he come down at noon?" Tian Guihua asked after seeing Liu taking two stitches.
Ms. Liu simply put down the handkerchief in her hand and sighed: "Not necessarily, but most of them go for a whole day, and occasionally stay overnight."
Tian Guihua was very surprised, her eyes widened, "Sister Liu, Xiaobai, is she so powerful?"
Mrs. Liu looked confused: "Is this powerful?"

Tian Guihua's eyes widened even more, and her tone was full of disbelief, "Xiaobai is only thirteen years old. A little girl goes up the mountain and spends the night. Aren't you worried?"
p>
Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said calmly, "It was like this in Da'an before. It only took ten days and a half to go down the mountain."
Tian Guihua: "... ."
She still said: "I mean, she is a little girl, she is in the mountains at night, and it is pitch black, isn't she afraid?"
Tian Guihua thought to herself. She would tremble with fear when walking at night, and she couldn't even think about it in the mountains surrounded by wild beasts.
Mrs. Liu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the person she was afraid of was herself, while Chen Wanbai didn't look afraid at all. As time passed, Mrs. Liu herself became numb.
Tian Guihua and Liu didn't know whether Chen Wanbai was afraid, but Chen Wanbai himself knew.
She is not afraid of the dark, and she even likes the dark night.
After all, "It's a good time when the night is dark and the wind is high."
Having said that, Chen Wanbai still has some fear. But it's not that I'm afraid of ghosts or the dark. But he is afraid of people and wild animals.
Of course, the most fearful thing is people.
After all, it is difficult to fathom the human heart, and even more difficult to describe human nature.
Chen Wanbai grew up in a graveyard while urinating.She was truly not afraid of such ethereal things as ghosts.
As for wild beasts, if you can beat them, fight them; if you can't beat them, run away; if you can't run, wait for death.
"Sister Liu, look, is that Xiaobai?" Tian Guihua raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of a figure at the foot of the mountain.
Ms. Liu looked up and saw that it was Chen Wanbai, and she quickly put down her work.
"I'm going to heat up the dishes."
Tian Guihua also put down her work and stood up, "Then let me help. She was carrying a tree "Is the tree coming back?"
Tian Guihua walked quickly towards Chen Wanbai, and when she got closer, she found that Chen Wanbai was carrying a thick tree trunk on his shoulders.
"Xiaobai, where did you cut such a big tree branch?" Tian Guihua asked in surprise.
Chen Wanbai gasped and smiled, "On the way down the mountain, this tree trunk happened to block my way, so I sawed it off and brought it back."
Tian Guihua quickly stretched out her hand to help take her basket, "Go home and have a rest, your mother is warming up the food."
Chen Wanbai nodded, dragging the tree trunk and speeding home.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Chen Wanbai threw the tree trunk to the ground, shook his sore shoulders, washed the hands and followed Tian Guihua into the kitchen.
When they entered the house, Ms. Liu had already put hot meals on the table, and the room was immediately filled with the aroma of food.
"Mom, I'm back." Chen Wanbai shouted with a smile.
"Hey, sit down quickly, you must be tired." Mrs. Liu was serving rice when she saw that Chen Wanbai was back, and she felt relieved. Fortunately, she wasn't coming back at night.
"Mom, this must be Aunt Tian's craftsmanship." Chen Wanbai said firmly, carrying the food on the table.
