Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 167 You stepped on my waist

  The ox cart drove slowly all the way, and finally saw the boundary marker of Anling Village near dawn.

  Chu Nanzhi got out of the ox cart, and gave instructions to the cowman to go back, while she carried her package and headed for the village.

  Just entering the village entrance, I saw a burly figure guarding the fork in the road.

"sister in law."

  Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, Li Ce greeted him enthusiastically.

   "Why don't you wait at home?"

   I don't know how long he has been waiting here, Chu Nanzhi asked with some shame.

  Now Lin Jinxiao and that little son-in-law are in good agreement, so they informed Li Ce without anyone noticing.

  Li Ce led her along and said, "I was afraid of missing my sister-in-law's business, so I waited here in advance."

   Actually, I was more worried that she would go out by herself.

   And this is the only way to enter the village and the tributary at the east end of the village. If she is really looking for fish fry, she must go here.

  Chu Nanzhi noticed that this guy wasn't telling the truth. He wanted to enter the village anyway, so he couldn't miss it. He stayed in this position because he was worried that he would sneak away.

   I didn't expect Li Ce to have such a flamboyant temperament, and he is indeed Lin Jinxiao's good friend.

   That guy has been convinced by himself now, but Li Ce has become suspicious.

He didn't bother with this any longer, and thought of the tributary that Lin Jinxiao mentioned, so he asked Li Ce about the situation: "Every time I go into the mountains, I can see the wide river in our village. , it seems that there is no passable road along the coast, and the current is so fast that no boatman can go down the river."

   "Sister-in-law, you really know how to joke. How can there be such a big river? To be precise, it should be a river."

Li Ce corrected her first, and then continued to explain: "No one in our village knows the name of that river, just as my sister-in-law said, the river passes through the Duanlong Mountain area in our village, so the water is very fast, and there is indeed no one there. Dare to go down the river."

  Hearing Broken Dragon Mountain, Chu Nanzhi's brain seemed to be stung, and suddenly buzzed: "Bu, where is Broken Dragon Mountain?"

   "What happened to my sister-in-law today? Why can't I even remember Duanlong Mountain? Isn't the mountain range behind our two families the Duanlong Mountain?"

Li Ce glanced at her in surprise, and then smiled to himself: "However, this Broken Dragon Mountain is indeed too big, it stretches endlessly with no end in sight, and no one has reached the end for so many years. I heard that the hunters in various villages dare not go too deep."

   "Oh, yeah?"

  Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips, but she didn't think there was anything evil about a mountain, it was just too long and no one was willing to walk into it.

Li Ce shook the machete wrapped in his hand, and smiled happily: "However, if we want to go down the river, we really have to walk through the mountains to see if we can find a way. Although I don't know how to raise fish, I probably know that only in the It is only in the downstream areas with gentle currents that fishermen who make a living may encounter fish."

"Um."

  Chu Nanzhi shook her head vigorously, her expression was in a daze, and she always felt that something was wrong.

   Li Ce noticed her strangeness, and couldn't help being concerned: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?"

   "It's okay, it's okay, Saburo, please lead the way."

  Chu Nanzhi waved his hand and signaled: "It's important to hurry, I'm afraid I woke up too early today and didn't have a good rest, just take it easy."

   "Well, then sister-in-law, follow me closely. It is inevitable that you will encounter some ferocious birds and beasts in the deep mountains and dense forests. With my knife in hand, no matter how fierce the beasts are, they will not be able to touch us."

  Li Ce gave a few words of advice, without further words, and led her to walk towards Broken Dragon Mountain together.

   Entering the mountain, birds are singing and cicadas are singing everywhere. Listening to this noisy sound, being in the quiet and gloomy dense forest is like being in a busy city, so lively.

It didn't take long before I walked to the place where I picked the rabbits last time. Chu Nanzhi took a closer look, but didn't find anything unusual. Seeing that Li Ce was carefully exploring the way ahead with a big knife in his hand, he had to follow behind him and continue walking. walk forward.

  The deeper you go, the more rotten and dead leaves are piled up on the ground, the thicker and thicker it is, and there is a "click" sound from time to time when you step on it.

   It can be seen that there are indeed few people coming.

   I don't know how far I walked, Chu Nanzhi looked around and checked the surrounding scenery, always feeling a kind of déjà vu.

There was a faint sound of chicken neighing coming from nowhere, Li Ce immediately raised his vigilance, and while showing the big knife in his hand, he slowly pushed the luxuriant branches hanging from his head, Chu Nanzhi also slowed down his pace , carefully observing and listening to the surrounding movement.

  About a further distance away, she inadvertently lowered her eyebrows and glanced at her feet, and found that the withered leaves seemed to have been trampled on, and the leaves were dotted with blood.

"and many more."

  Chu Nanzhi yelled at Li Ce, knelt down to pick up a blood-stained dead leaf, took it to his nose and sniffed it, and there was a fresh smell of blood.

  Seeing this, Li Ce was about to turn around and come back when suddenly the chicken neighing sounded again.

  Li Ce was so frightened that his heart trembled, he pushed aside the leaves and rushed towards the place where the sound came from, Chu Nanzhi followed closely behind holding the leaf.

After striding forward for a few steps, Li Ce's footsteps suddenly stopped. Chu Nanzhi looked around and saw a pair of golden roosters with slender tail feathers fighting fiercely together, biting each other's necks, and their bodies were already bloody. They all refused to let go.

  The plumage of the male bird is gorgeous, with a golden silky crest on the head, while the female bird is covered with brown-yellow wings, and the top of the head and the back of the neck are covered with a circle of dark brown feathers. The bright colors complement each other, which is very beautiful.

  Theoretically speaking, a female and a male should be attracted to each other, but Chu Nanzhi was a little puzzled how to fight to the death.

  Was surprised, and saw two golden roosters utter a tragic cry, both fell down,

Li Ce happily put away the big knife and inserted it into the package on his back, and smiled at Chu Nanzhi: "Sister-in-law, it seems that we are lucky when we come out this time, we found wild game just after entering the mountain, so we still cast ourselves into the trap Effortless."

   As he spoke, he took out a coarse cloth from his pocket and continued: "It's just right, I'll wipe off the blood and take it home. We have one as a family, and we can have a good meal."

   Witnessing his dream with his own eyes, Chu Nanzhi was still wondering, Li Ce had already walked up to the place where the golden rooster fell, and he was still talking to himself while walking:

"I just don't know how many days this trip will take. If it takes too long, I'm afraid the golden rooster will be damaged. Fortunately, my wife is thoughtful and knows that we are going into the mountains. She specially asked me to bring some salt. You can find some game to satisfy your hunger in places where there are no shops behind the village."

   "Baji."

   It seemed that he stepped on something and tripped, but Li Ce ignored it and continued to pick up the two chickens carelessly.

  Chu Nanzhi seemed to hear someone groaning. She opened her eyes, looked around, and approached Li Ce cautiously step by step.

  Suddenly, she felt as if the soles of her feet were stepping on a hard stone. She stopped to look carefully, but heard a slight groan from under the leaves:

   "Hey, ouch, mother, mother, you, you stepped on my waist."
