Chapter 17: The Sword Grows Old
At first, Zhou Heng was still a little worried, afraid that he would deviate from the place marked by his mobile phone as he walked.
As a result, he thought about it a lot, the APP was very intimate, like a navigation, as he moved, the marked place also moved, always indicating him.
Now it's okay, don't worry about it, he just needs to take care of his feet.
I called the big yellow dog because I didn't want to be bored walking alone on the mountain road. The dog can't talk, and he won't ask him what he is doing in the mountains, so he is an ideal companion to accompany him.
There are some roads in the mountains that have been stepped on, but the further back you go, the more there is no road, and you have to find your own direction when walking.
The big yellow dog suddenly barked at something.
It has also followed people into the mountains before, and knows that people go into the mountains to look for things, bamboo shoots, fungi and so on, so this guy is very experienced, and when he sees something, he will also bark.
Zhou Heng stepped forward to see that it was a pebble-like thing, the surface was shiny, and the color was yellow-brown.
Zhou Heng had never seen this thing before, although he grew up in the mountains when he was a child and could know most of the things, but some of the things he hadn't seen didn't know.
He stretched out his foot and kicked it, but found that the kick could not move, and it was still growing on the ground.
When he entered the mountains today, he made preparations, took out a small firewood knife to dig, and then turned it over and saw that it was a fungus.
It's a breed that I've never seen before.
However, looking at its appearance, as well as its tawny pattern, it looks like it is poisonous.
He dug up the mushroom a little, and sure enough, the mycelium inside had black and white spots, such a flowery thing, forget it, don't want it.
He touched the head of the big yellow dog and said, "It's quite alert, but we can't ask for this thing, let's find it again." ”
The big yellow dog couldn't understand human speech, but he could read expressions, and ran away very happily.
After walking forward for another hour, the big yellow dog barked at Zhou Heng again.
It found a bamboo forest with a lot of bamboo shoots popping up.
There are still no pools or springs popping up here, and the bamboo forests can grow so luxuriantly, undoubtedly because the water from the ground is nourishing them.
Zhou Heng is very excited, a large piece of bamboo shoots, which grows very densely, can be taken back to cook and eat, very fragrant.
However, he still has a lot of things to do.
If you pick it up now and carry it on your back, it will be too heavy.
I picked it up and put it here, and when I came back, I took it back, but I was afraid that others would take it away.
After thinking about it, I decided to leave it alone and break it when I came back.
So, he said to the big yellow dog, "Remember this place, and we'll get it when we get back." ”
I'm afraid that when I walk back, there is no road in the depths of the mountain, and where I go, I am completely following the navigation of the mobile APP.
It's so normal to go a different way when you come back.
Forget it, don't think about it, just look at your luck.
Go ahead again.
In fact, walk to a certain high place and look down, this scenery is still very good, very magnificent, the mountain peaks are undulating, lush, this is the oxygen of nature.
In the past, when people were working, people took advantage of the holidays to climb the mountains to relax, and went to the suburbs to fly kites, and those attractions were not as good as here.
There is no car exhaust here, there is not so much household waste, and the natural environment is much better.
But this place is remote, and there are too many mountainous areas like this in the whole country that no one will travel here.
It's a bit of a pity.
When he arrived at the top of the mountain to rest, blowing the natural mountain breeze, most of the fatigue along the way was gone, which was really thanks to the busyness during this time, and his physical strength was greatly improved.
Otherwise, he would have had to bear this journey.
When I was a child, I didn't seem to know that I was tired, and I ran all over the mountain.
The mountain is only a third of the way to the top, and you have to go down, and then you have to go to another mountain.
After walking for another two hours, I finally came to the place marked on the mobile APP.
Zhou Heng found that this APP was really powerful, deep in this kind of mountain, other places were covered by big trees. If you want to dig up and bury explosives, it will take a lot of work.
But not here, this area is dozens of meters in circumference, all of which are rock shelves, and there is not a single grass.
Nature is undoubtedly a miracle, and no one knows why the terrain is the way it is, and perhaps geologists will know.
But they certainly don't have time to come here to explore, to come to such a little-known little place, to see if they can get water here.
Everything can only be done on your own.
Zhou Heng had already prepared explosives according to the proportion taught in the APP, and wanted to find a favorable place.
There was a stone that was loosened, and when I moved it away, there was a deep hole inside, which was quite suitable.
Zhou Heng took a lot of effort to move the stone a little farther, and then stuffed the explosives into it.
The lead Zhou Heng prepared a hundred meters long, and he could go to a distant place and ignite it, so that it would not endanger himself.
The feeling of fried cow when I was a child is here again!
This area is very dry, there is no water on the surface, it is all rocks, and there is no fear that the lead will go out. Zhou Heng lit the fuse, watched the sparks burn forward, and ran in the opposite direction with the dog.
More than ten seconds later, there was a loud "bang", and the ground did not feel any vibration.
In fact, the explosives are not very large, they can only be considered a small one.
After the stone exploded, less than a second, suddenly there was another loud bang, and a huge column of water gushed out from the explosion, rushing towards the sky.
Zhou Heng was speechless, obediently, the pressure of the groundwater is really big enough, this water column has been rushing towards the sky, and it is dozens of meters high.
Bursts of water droplets fell from the water column and scattered around, spraying far away like raindrops.
When sprayed on people's faces, it is cold and cold, and it is very comfortable on hot days.
Zhou Heng and the big yellow dog were stunned.
The water has just come out of the ground, so it's cold, and it's as clean as pure water.
The water continued to pour out of the ground, and only after it was exhausted did it fall down and flow downward, and the sound of the water was rattling.
Seeing that the flowing fruit was really flowing in the direction preset in the APP, Zhou Heng had an indescribable taste in his heart.
It's not fried cow as a child.
When the water flows down, it nourishes the fields of their village, and it accumulates into a lake downstream, and when it is full, it continues to flow to the Yuhe River, a tributary of the Yangtze River in this area.
Zhou Heng was unscathed, his business today was done, but he was not in such a hurry to leave.
He stared at the soaring water column from afar, and his heart was complicated.
This Longxi is the mile he created!
He knew that the water column would not last forever, it would be suddenly squeezed out by the huge pressure from the ground to form a water column, and when the pressure from the ground was exhausted, it would become gentle, forming an ordinary spring.
At this rate, it will soon flow to the bottom of their village, fill all the ditches along the way, and then go all the way down to form a lake.
Longxi Village will live up to its name.
After waiting for about half an hour, the water finally withered, getting shorter and shorter, and finally became a torrent of springs.
At this time, the sun is in the middle, and it is time to eat, otherwise, you will not have the energy to go back.
Thinking of the fact that the big yellow dog caught a hare that day, Zhou Heng patted its head and said, "Let's go, find another hare." Are you hungry?"
Although I brought some rice rakes as dry food, wouldn't it be more beautiful if I could get some meat dishes?
As if he understood, the big yellow dog turned and went into the nearby woods.
After a while, its scream was heard.
Zhou Heng thought to himself, so fast, are there so many hares now?
He hurriedly followed, and immediately laughed at the fact that the guy was barking at a bird in the tree.
Birds are indeed edible and meaty, but Zhou Heng doesn't have the ability to get them.
He had to spread his hands and say, "I don't have any tools, I can't get them." ”
The big yellow dog "whined" twice, and then ran away again. The ground was full of thick dead leaves, and there was a rustle of stepping on it.
Zhou Heng looked around casually and didn't find anything special.
However, there are still some discoveries, not far ahead, some vines that are about to die, and they are all infested by insects.
This is the case in nature, insects eat trees, and birds eat fruits, and also fertilizes the land.
Zhou Heng took out the firewood knife he brought, casually cut off a few pieces of vine, and broke it inside, there were a lot of fat white worms. He took it out and threaded it with a thin bamboo branch.
This nest of kudzu vines has been plagued by insects, the vines have died, and more vines will be killed if they are not cut down.
But this worm is a good thing, rich in protein, roasted on the fire, fragrant and crispy, is a very delicious side dish.
Zhou Heng hadn't eaten it for many years, and now he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought about the delicious taste after being roasted for a while.
There were seven or eight worms in a single vine, and some of them were almost as thick as his little finger. He cut down the bad vines in the vicinity in a row, and wore more than a dozen skewers.
It's a little little, but it's okay to taste it, and people have to be content, hehe.
The dog searched around, but found nothing, and came back with an egg. I don't know what kind of bird's eggs it is.
I guess this area is too barren, and it really hasn't encountered anything good.
The eggs may have fallen out of the nest, but miraculously, the eggshell was not broken.
Zhou Heng smelled it, it didn't smell, it was good.
Forget it, let's bake it together, this egg can't be returned.
Find a big bare rock, pick up some dead branches and leaves, and you can make a fire. The big yellow dog was quite diligent and helped with a few short dead branches.
Dogs are really spiritual, and they help them do whatever they do, and they don't need to call them.
Probably done something like this before.
Zhou Heng touched its head and said, "The bird's egg is baked and belongs to you." ”
More than a dozen strings of small insects worn by bamboo branches are very unroasted, and the temperature of the embers of the burned dead branches can be used, and the temperature is too high to be burned into charcoal at once.
After a little roasting, the skin is immediately browned and crispy, exuding the aroma of protein, and even the oil comes out, with small bubbles, sizzling and mouth-watering.
Zhou Heng sighed, he really has a treasure knife that is not old! When he was a child, he often did this, but he didn't do it for many years, and he didn't show his hand.
