Chapter 73 The black bear is coming?
Jiang Mozi and Gu Chang, following several members of the Gastrodia elata digging team, climbed up towards Wohu Mountain.
Because the destination of the collecting team this time is to go to a place with an altitude of more than 1,200 meters to collect Gastrodia elata.
Time was tight and the task was heavy, so Wang Xianye and his team climbed very quickly and did not wait for Gu Chang and Jiang Mozi who came for the purpose of sightseeing.
After giving the two a few more reminders of precautions, Wang Xianye and the others sped up and soon left Gu Chang and Jiang Mozi behind!
This area is considered a relatively safe place because there are many villagers from Shangouzi Village active here and there are basically no wild animals.
Besides, Jiang Mozi and Gu Chang probably can’t climb high, so they should be fine.
So Wang Xianye left with peace of mind.
Jiang Mozi was also a loser. He was sweating profusely after climbing for a short while, and his progress was as slow as a snail.
Together with Gu Chang, the two losers simply slowed down their pace and appreciated the mountain scenery.
"Brother, do you come to Wohu Mountain often?" Jiang Mozi said.
"I used to come here more often when I was young, but later I went to school away and seldom came back, so I climbed these mountains much less often," said Gu Chang.
"However, the bamboo peaks in the west are relatively short. I used to go there to dig bamboo shoots. The winter bamboo shoots there are extremely delicious. In about twenty days, it will be the season for digging winter bamboo shoots!"
"Oh? You still have bamboo shoots here?" Jiang Mozi's eyes lit up!
"Of course!" Gu Chang said with a smile.
"If I have the chance, I must try it!" Jiang Mozi is almost becoming a foodie now!
"No problem! The spicy and sour bamboo shoots I make are the best!" Gu Chang promised.
……
The two climbed for a while and reached an altitude of about 700 to 800 meters. The mountain road here began to become steep and the vegetation was very lush.
Jiang Mozi was exhausted. He sat down on a big rock, gasping for breath and refusing to get up no matter what!
Of course, the loser Gu Chang was not much better, and was also out of breath.
"Moo..."
Suddenly, a low roar like that of a cow was heard, causing Jiang Mozi and Gu Chang to stand up instantly and look around vigilantly.
Wang Xianye said that this mountain road is not easy to walk on and you will often encounter many wild animals!
"Gu...Gu Chang, aren't we going to encounter a tiger?" Hearing this low growl, Jiang Mozi was a little panicked!
"Don't worry, don't worry, there are no tigers here! Besides, a tiger's roar doesn't sound like this!" Gu Chang comforted.
"Ah...that's good!" Jiang Mozi felt a little comforted.
"However, there are wolves, leopards, and pythons on this mountain. If you're lucky, you may even encounter black bears and wild giant pandas!"
"Ah... no... there are also wolves, leopards, and even bears?" Jiang Mozi's face was full of shock!
No one told me before I came up here!
“Could that roar just now be the roar of a black bear?” Jiang Mozi suddenly became nervous!
"Judging from the sound, it is possible." Gu Chang said with a smile.
"When I was a kid, my grandma always told me that black bears like to open their mouths and lick people's faces. After one lick, the face is licked away by the barbs on its tongue! It bleeds so much, it's scary!"
Jiang Mozi grabbed Gu Chang's hand at some point, and her palms were sweating from nervousness.
“The black bear won’t lick my face, right? Otherwise, I’ll be disfigured…” Jiang Mozi’s face turned pale!
This story her grandmother told her when she was a child gave her nightmares for a long time!
As soon as she fell asleep, she dreamed that a big black bear licked her face off in one bite!
So much so that when she grew up, every time she went to the zoo and saw the black bear pavilion, Jiang Mozi would just take a detour!
“Don’t let it be a black bear, don’t let it be a black bear, Jade Emperor, Jesus and Buddha, please pray that it’s not a black bear…” Jiang Mozi muttered.
Gu Chang, who was standing by, was almost going crazy trying to hold back his laughter! This belief is quite mixed!
I didn't expect that this senior sister of mine who seemed fearless could be so adorable when she got scared!
"Gu...Gu Chang, aren't you afraid?" Jiang Mozi looked around and asked vigilantly.
"Not afraid!"
"Why aren't you afraid? A black bear is so scary!" Jiang Mozi said anxiously.
"Because I know Black Bear didn't come!" Gu Chang said while holding back his laughter.
"what……"
Jiang Mozi was stunned and asked quickly.
"How did you know?"
"Of course I saw it!" Gu Chang said with a smile.
"Ah!" Jiang Mozi was confused. What was going on?
"Look inside the forest on the right!" Gu Chang stretched out his finger and pointed at the forest over there.
Jiang Mozi quickly followed Gu Chang's finger and looked in that direction!
Suddenly, they discovered a strange creature that looked like a cow but not a cow, and like a sheep but not a sheep, was eating weeds!
