Chapter 23 Curiosity Kills the Cat
By the way, is there such a "real mother" who abandons her children and ignores them? She actually abandoned her children and ignored them!
Looking around, the place where Lin Caisang had been looking for had become a large forest.
"Why does it feel like the inner forest here?"
She looked at the trees in the forest and said in confusion.
The forests around Ya Village are divided into outer forests and inner forests. The outer forests are where the trees are not densely grown, and there are many canaries building nests. It is also the place where the men in the village collect bird nests.
The inner forest is dangerous. There are weeds and dense trees here, and there are many wild animals.
It is said that someone has seen a big snake thicker than a human waist before. Although she thinks this is unlikely, even if there is a snake, it is not that big, but there are big snakes.
However, in this weather, even the biggest snakes should be hibernating, right?
After a short rest, Lin Caisang carried the bamboo basket and continued to walk. She must dig more medicinal herbs today. Even if there are none, it would be good to find a few more nests of pheasant eggs. It is also very important to improve the food for her family.
In the forest, the trees are getting denser and denser, almost blocking her sight.
Lin Caisang had to pick up the machete and cut all the way to open up a "road" for herself. Along the way, she heard several "clucks" and took away a few nests of pheasant eggs. She also harvested some ginseng, Polygonatum, Platycodon, etc., which were also put into the bamboo basket.
She looked up and looked at the sky. It felt that it was getting late.
If she didn't go back, the grandmother who went home to cook at noon would definitely look for her all over the village, and she would have to alarm the elders of the village to help find her!
"Come back when you are free."
After thinking about it, she muttered to herself and was about to turn around, but she didn't know...
With a "bang", the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came into her ears, which startled her and she quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
It was just that the leaves in the forest were too dense, and she couldn't see anything at all.
"This is the sound made by a person, not an animal." She asked herself, but she was absolutely sure in her heart.
If it was a sound made by a wild animal, it didn't make sense that she only heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, but not the sound of a wild animal screaming, so it must be a person!
"What could it be..."
"Ugh!"
A painful roar interrupted her mumbling, and Lin Caisang frowned slightly and looked in that direction.
This voice seemed, maybe, possibly... She seemed to have heard it somewhere, a little familiar, who could it be, actually breaking into the inner forest without fear of death.
Lin Caisang: "..."
What the hell is she thinking about? The one who is least afraid of death is herself. Not only did she break into the inner forest, but she was also full of curiosity in her heart.
Don't you know that curiosity kills the cat?
However, no matter how much she felt that she was not afraid of death, she could not stop her curiosity...
...
"Wow, there is actually a bamboo house here, and there is also a yard, actually..."
Following the sound, Lin Caisang soon found a unique bamboo house with a fenced yard. She could not see it at all when she was in the woods just now.
This bamboo house, in such dense trees, is almost invisible.
Moreover, this bamboo house is too unique. It is simply the paradise she imagined, the place where the hermit heroes live. She wants to stay here forever.
"If I could live here forever... eh!"
