Chapter 417: Turning into a Compass
I looked at Chen Jian, but in my mind I still recalled the scenes I had just seen in my dream.
Chen Jian frowned, and slapped me twice: "Brother Sihai, let's go, it's slightly lit up now, let's stay away from this place at this time, and then come back when it's almost dark, after all, this place is not safe, who knows if you will meet those people from the Uhtas tribe?"
"Xiao Qiang, they are already ready to eat, let's not delay!"
"Oh, I, I'll get up. ”
I was stunned for a moment, touched my forehead, and then realized that I was covered in cold sweat.
Chen Jian hurriedly dragged me up, Xiao Qiang and the others had already woken up at this time and were getting food.
After the people of the Bunois tribe left, the hunting matter was handed over to us, but Wang Ping, Chen Jian, and I are going out today, so the hunting matter can only be handed over to Bai Wei and them.
But Bai Wei has no experience after all, and those gringos are all afraid of death, the situation outside is unknown, and no one dares to joke with their lives, so this eating is also a problem at the moment.
Early in the morning, Wang Ping and Chen Jian had already gone out to look for a circle, and in the end, they only hunted two rabbits, which would be their food for the day today.
Fortunately, Xiao Qiang and the female natives of the Bunois tribe have recently learned to refine something similar to a thick pulp in the trunk of the tree, and after heating, it will become solidified and eaten until it is soft and glutinous in the mouth, but it can also be used as some staple food, so it is always not hungry, but it is strange that it has not arrived.
We took the rabbit jerky they had roasted the night before, some fresh water, and left the camp with our guns.
Before leaving, I repeatedly told Bai Wei that they must guard this place.
After all, now that we are gone, the safety factor of this camp is even less secure.
Bai Wei nodded cautiously: "Don't worry, even if I die, I will definitely die in front of them!"
I looked at Bai Wei and glared at him fiercely: "Don't say such frustrating words, you all have to live, wait for us to come back!"
After leaving the underground camp, we walked through the woods, blindly searching around for a place to camp.
But my mind kept coming back to the blessed camp I had seen in my dreams.
Wang Ping and Chen Jian walked next to me, always vigilant about the movements around us, and occasionally we were terrified.
But fortunately, after three or four hours of walking, I didn't find any strange movements.
"Let's rest for a while, this place should be quite safe, there are no lynx around, we have walked a long way, eat something to replenish our strength." ”
When Wang Ping heard what I said, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down leaning against a tree trunk.
"Alas, this deserted island is so big, I really don't know where it is safe, after the last wildfire, this forest was badly damaged, now these grasses can't grow, these herbivores don't come out, carnivores don't know where to hide, and if we want to find a new camp, we must have a water, otherwise if we want to rely on seawater distillation, it will be a lot of trouble. ”
Chen Jian nodded while nibbling on the rabbit jerky.
"Not really, but we have to find a place to stand first. ”
I listened to the two of them chatting about whether they were interested in accomplishing a match, and I was also frowning and looking at the clouds in the sky, not knowing what to do next.
If there is no purpose in such an aimless search, then it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is very likely that you will not be able to achieve your expectations in the end.
But if you don't come out and look for it like this, is there any other way?
"Hey, you said that we haven't been back for so long, my watch has stopped, and the battery is out of power, it's really sad to die, now I don't even know the exact time, Bai Wei's watch is also broken, it seems to be in the water, you said that you fell into this ghost place where birds don't, it's really about to be unbearable." ”
Chen Jian grumbled, but carefully kicked his watch into his pocket.
But I suddenly remembered the pocket watch-shaped clock we picked up in the woods that day, and when I took it out and looked at it, I realized that after the watch became smaller, I could really see the time, but no one knew whether it was accurate or not.
But then we looked into it and agreed that this table should be accurate.
According to the degree of the sun's westward inclination now, it should be more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the hands of this clock are also around 1 o'clock, so the error should not be very large.
I took the watch and studied it, and it could get bigger or smaller, and I ate the weird droplets that the name of the watch conjured up, which was a strange thing.
But Wang Ping didn't have a good impression of this thing, and kept lobbying me to throw it away.
But I always felt that this thing had a fate with me.
I fiddled with the watch, and my mind was very messy.
Wang Ping also ate something, and after replenishing water and food, we continued on our way.
Just as I was about to put the watch back in my pocket, I suddenly noticed that the hand of the watch moved, very quickly, very quickly, and finally it stopped abruptly, pointing due north.
Wang Ping and Chen Jian hurried forward with their guns in hand, because it was getting dark soon, and we had to rush back to camp before the sun set completely.
I shifted my body, but the pointer was still pointing due north, and I was even more confused.
Could it be that this piece of clock still has the potential to be a compass?
In other words, he was actually a compass in the first place?
Wang Ping walked a few steps, and when he saw that I didn't move, he suddenly turned around and called me: "What are you doing in the four seas, hurry up!"
"Wang Ping, come on, it's strange for you to look at this watch!"
I hurriedly walked to Wang Ping and Chen Jian's side and handed over the middle watch.
Wang Ping glanced at it and didn't find anything wrong, but after Chen Jian glanced at it, he sighed.
"Eh, it was just a little more than a little bit, but now how did it become more than 9 o'clock?
I shook my head and told Chen Jian and Wang Ping about the speculation in my heart.
After Wang Ping and Chen Jian listened, their faces became a little ugly.
"You mean this thing can point in the right direction, and what does it mean in the direction it points to?"
I shook my head, for I didn't know what he was referring to, but I suddenly had a premonition in my heart, and even a voice in my head kept urging me to go, go.
I hesitated for a moment, but I still looked at Wang Ping and Chen Jian.
"I want to go in this direction, maybe there's something waiting for me where this pointer is pointing. ”
Chen Jian grinned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
Wang Ping sighed, looked at the sinking sun again, and gritted his teeth.
"In that case, let's go and see it quickly, if there is nothing, then go and go back quickly!"
