Chapter 311: The Blessing of Food

The heavy rain finally stopped, the flood water gradually receded, and the mud and turbulent water under the ground loomed, Qi Yun leaned out and looked at it, shaking his head and sighing.

With the ancient tree as a yardstick, the mud on the ground is several meters deep, and it is impossible to get off your feet, let alone a person, even if you throw a small stone down, you will immediately sink down.

Qi Yun thought to himself: This is no different from a swamp! Even if the sun is big every day, there are no ten days or half a moon, and he doesn't want to step on the mud and leave from here!

Ji Yankun looked up at Qi Yun, and seeing that his face was solemn and he didn't speak, he walked to the entrance of the tree hole, looked down, and his heart tightened suddenly. He said, "Sir, now we are completely trapped to death!"

Qi Yun nodded helplessly, and said in a hoarse voice: "There is no other way but to wait! I have to pray that God will not cry again, otherwise——"

Ji Yankun and Hua Zi both looked at Qi Yun nervously. Qi Yun continued: "Everyone should be mentally prepared, usually, after the earthquake, there is a lot of rain, and we are afraid that the days of being trapped will be very long—by that time—"

Qi Yun refused to continue, he knew that the situation was worse than the previous days, and if it rained continuously, they would face the dilemma of fasting. Eat in the tree hole, pull at the mouth of the tree hole, as soon as the sun bakes, it will stink, and the dead bodies of various animals in the mountain will gradually decay, breeding bacteria, and it will not be possible to cause epidemics.

Qi Yun really had no way to tell Ji Yankun and Huazi about this, he was afraid that they would not be able to withstand the torment, and before they got sick, their spirits would collapse first.

Ji Yankun already understood the seriousness of the problem, he did not force Qi Yun to tell the truth, but only said: "Sir, no matter what happens, we will listen to you!"

Qi Yun nodded helplessly, he didn't count it in his own heart. He looked up at the herbs hanging on the wall of the hollow, and felt a little comfort. I thought to myself, "When it comes to the critical moment, these things may come in handy!"

Hua Zi looked at Qi Yun inexplicably, and then looked at Ji Yankun, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, what people were most afraid of was getting into a predicament, but they couldn't figure out the way out of the predicament.

The tree hole, which was originally quite spacious, was cramped and crowded because of the wooden boxes that occupied the space.

The black panther had been trapped in the hole for a long time, obviously a little restless, it was grinding and rubbing around in the crowded tree hole, Qi Yun shouted: "Black panther, you stay honest for me!"

The black panther raised his eyes aggrievedly and stared at Qi Yun, and obediently sat down close to Huazi.

Ji Yankun tore off the stem of an herb and said, "Sir, please light it for me!"

Qi Yun smiled, took out the flint and hit it twice, and suddenly sparks appeared, the herb rod was ignited, Ji Yankun put it in his mouth and took two puffs of smoke, and spit out two puffs of smoke comfortably.

Hua Zi looked straight at the ear and asked suspiciously, "Brother Kun, what are you doing?"

"Smoking! These days, I can suffocate Lao Tzu!Sir, why do you think I didn't think of this trick to satisfy my cravings?" Ji Yankun stared at Qi Yun and smiled, his smile full of uneasiness.

"Hehe, I haven't opened my mind at that time, but I'm shocked to open my mind at this time!" Qi Yun also pulled a herb stick and handed it to Huazi, saying, "Huazi, you have one too?"

Huazi shook his head, waved his hand, and said, "I don't want it, I'm afraid this thing is worse than smoke!"

"Take it, don't underestimate this thing, when it matters, save your life!" Qi Yun's appearance was half-true, like a real thing, and like he was joking.

Hua Zihu looked at Qi Yun suspiciously, and after a while, he suddenly stood up, snatched the herb rod from Qi Yun's hand, and said, "I'll have one, no, two, three-"

Ji Yankun smiled: "Huazi, you can't see it, you're also afraid of death?"

Hua Zi waited impatiently for Qi Yun to help him light the fire, and then, he took a sharp sip of the herb rod, coughed coughing, and said, "Kun, Brother Kun - who- who can not be afraid of death!

Ji Yankun was really asked by Huazi, he was stunned, he couldn't speak for a long time, he couldn't go against his will and say that he was not afraid of death at all, it depended on what kind of situation and why he died.

Qi Yun pulled an herb rod and put it in his mouth, but did not immediately ignite the fire. He stared intently at Ji Yankun's fascinate face, and he was also thinking about the same question, is he afraid of death? In fact, he, a person whose two feet have been buried in the loess, is more afraid of death than anyone else, and he is more downset than anyone else.

Smelling the faint fragrance of smoke, the panther gradually quieted down, and actually leaned on Huazi to close his eyes and recuperate. Hua Zi looked at the black panther sideways and thought, "Black panther, are you afraid of death?" You must be the same as me, you are also afraid of death!

……

The flood was like magic, it suddenly receded, and Ji Yanxin and Xia Jinzhong ran aground in a drowsy state, desperately picking at the wooden box.

The water slowed down, and the current flowed past them, and gradually there was no sound. A gust of cold wind blew, Ji Yanxin was clever, and forced to open his eyes, not far away was a barren beach, and the vegetation was crooked.

Ji Yanxin called weakly: "Jin Zhong - Jin Zhong - you wake up!"

Xia Jinzhong drooped his head, there was no reaction, Ji Yanxin couldn't tell whether he was too tired and fell asleep, or-

Ji Yanxin didn't dare to think about it, he finally waited for the flood to pass, and there was hope for life, he didn't want Xia Jinzhong to have an accident at this time. Ji Yanxin stretched out his hand that was soaked white by the flood with difficulty, and pushed Xia Jinzhong's body, Xia Jinzhong's body moved in convulsions, and his hanging heart was put down.

After a while, Xia Jinzhong slowly opened his eyes and said in a daze, "Am I going to heaven or to the earth?"

Ji Yanxin glanced at him, couldn't support it anymore, and closed his eyes. In order to ensure the safety of the two of them, along the way, Ji Yanxin stared at whether there was danger with wide eyes, and his attention was highly concentrated, at this moment, the danger was temporarily lifted, and after confirming that Xia Jinzhong was still alive, he had no more energy.

"Big brother-big brother-what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Xia Jinzhong's shout lingered in Ji Yanxin's ears, Ji Yanxin closed his eyes tightly, and muttered: "Don't make a fuss—let me—sleep for a while—"

Looking at Ji Yanxin's tired appearance, Xia Jinzhong blamed himself in his heart, thinking: It's all my fault, I only care about sleeping, how tired my eldest brother must be!

Xia Jinzhong couldn't bear to disturb Ji Yanxin's sleep, and he couldn't bear to watch him sleep with his hands down. He looked around, looking for a way to the shore.

Xia Jinzhong stood with the wooden box, but found that he couldn't stand at all, and as soon as he exerted his strength, his feet sank to his knees, and he didn't dare to risk his life again. I had to hold on to the wooden box and pull my feet out of the dirt, and then think of other ways.

Ji Yanxin slept very deeply, and from time to time let out a few dull snoring, listening to this snoring, Xia Jinzhong's heart was both worried and comforted. The worry is that he is afraid that he will fall asleep and fall into the mud, and the comfort is that at least, he can still be sure that Ji Yanxin is alive when he is busy looking for a way to escape.

Xia Jinzhong looked at the turbid water flowing along both sides of the big wooden box, slowly held the wooden box, moved to the water's edge, and tried it with his feet, the mud was not deep. After pondering for a moment, he climbed onto the wooden box and dragged Ji Yanxin up.

Although the movement was loud, Ji Yanxin didn't wake up, Xia Jinzhong looked at him and smiled, muttering: "Big brother, you won't know if I carry you away and lose you here!"

After Xia Jinzhong flattened Ji Yanxin's body, he went down to the water, and with all his strength, he dragged the wooden box towards the shore little by little, several times, his feet slipped and he fell into the water, and then he got up and continued to exert himself.

Xia Jinzhong padded his feet from time to time, looked at the sleeping Ji Yanxin, and then looked at the sky, thinking: Fortunately, the sun did not come out, otherwise, the eldest brother would have to be roasted if he was lying like this!

With great effort, Xia Jinzhong finally dragged the wooden box to the shore, and the road ahead was blocked by silt, and he could not move forward. He leaned weakly on the wooden box and gasped, looked at the gradually darkening sky, sighed, and thought, "Tonight, I'm afraid I will have to endure all night in this bleak wind and cold rain!"

Xia Jinzhong looked at Ji Yanxin's frowning and sleeping face again, but he still couldn't bear to wake him up. Suddenly, Ji Yanxin turned over and almost fell off the wooden box, Xia Jinzhong hurriedly reached out to support his body.

Ji Yanxin was awakened by the feeling of a sudden fall, he squinted his eyes in a daze, and shouted: "Jin Zhong-Jin Zhong-"

"Big brother, I'm here!" Xia Jinzhong leaned over and smiled at Ji Yanxin, Ji Yanxin struggled to sit up, his brain was dizzy, he looked around, and asked, "The wooden box has long legs, why did you come here?"

"Big brother, are you dreaming, right? It can grow legs, and I can also grow wings!" Xia Jinzhong smiled and leaned back, feeling that the eldest brother at this moment was too cute, like an ignorant child.

"You got it?" Ji Yanxin stared at Xia Jinzhong in surprise.

Xia Jinzhong stared at Ji Yanxin embarrassedly and said, "Big brother, I'm actually not just going to make trouble!"

"You pulled me up? Not to mention that I slept for several hours, didn't I?" Ji Yanxin's heart swelled with a warm current, thinking: Brother, adversity sees the truth! Jin Zhong has some mistakes, but he is a loyal and affectionate person, my horse bolt has not lived in vain in this life, my wife and son don't want me anymore, but I still have a group of good brothers, just rush at them, I also have to live well!

"Big brother, what do you want, the look of a trance?" Xia Jinzhong looked at Ji Yanxin, who was stunned, and asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm thinking about how to get out of this hellish place!" Ji Yanxin reacted extremely quickly, hiding what he was thinking.

"Jin Zhong, are you hungry, let's open this box and see if we can eat the contents inside!" Ji Yanxin squatted on the wooden box, stunned when his eyes looked down, Xia Jinzhong shouted in surprise: "Big brother, this is the box of our base camp!"

Ji Yanxin pondered for a moment and said, "Open it, since it is ours, it must be edible!"

Xia Jinzhong climbed onto the wooden box and unwrapped the top of the wooden box with Ji Yanxin, and the two looked at the contents and were overjoyed.

Xia Jinzhong picked up the contents of the box and shouted excitedly: "Big brother - meat - canned meat -"

"It's okay now, after eating these things, we will have strength!" Ji Yanxin grabbed a can, opened it quickly, shook his mouth down, grabbed the piece of meat with his mud-stained hand, and devoured it, he looked at Xia Jinzhong, who was also feasting, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Being able to enjoy delicious food in a desperate situation is one of life's great blessings!

Ji Yanxin and Xia Jinzhong kept laughing and opening the cans, and after a while, dozens of canned shells were embedded in the mud. At this moment, they don't want anything, they feel extremely happy and satisfied, and under certain circumstances, life will become extremely simple, just to fill their stomachs-
