Before dawn,I got up.In order to find the medicinal guide more quickly,I learned the location of the bamboo forest from Tingting.After walking on the path for about ten minutes,I finally arrived at the bamboo forest.The bamboo inside was densely packed,and the ground was entirely covered with withered bamboo leaves.I also saw two little squirrels playing on top.I thought the thing the Yin-Yang master asked me to find should be in this bamboo forest.
I searched among the fallen bamboo leaves,as this kind of thing was hidden beneath them.Suddenly,there was a rustling sound in the otherwise quiet bamboo forest.Who?Who?The sound came in waves,and I started to feel nervous.What could it be?I slowly walked towards the source of the sound.
As I walked,I felt something under my foot that was very elastic,like a rope,but not quite.It was moving!Could it be?I quickly lifted my foot,and a black snake's head emerged.I am usually most afraid of this animal,and at that moment,my forehead was covered in cold sweat as if drenched by rain.There was no time to think,so I ran away as fast as I could,not wanting to be bitten by it.
Looking back,I realized I had run out of the bamboo forest.Wait,I can't just go back like this;I need to overcome my fear.I returned to the bamboo forest and continued searching.At that moment,I could feel that the medicinal guide was not far from me.I quietly walked back to the spot where the snake had been,but it was no longer there,leaving only a mark.Gently using my foot to move the mark aside,I found a white plant resembling a web-like flower hidden underneath.Goodness!Could this be the bamboo fungus I was looking for?No wonder it's a rare species;that snake was guarding this bamboo fungus.It's amazing!
Unexpectedly,I obtained this precious medicinal guide so quickly.I carefully picked it and placed it in a box.I then went to the ditch beside the bamboo forest to wash off the mud from my shoes and set off on my way back...
