Chapter 2 Free Passage in the Forest of Ignorance
The Northern Regions of the Obscurantist Forest.
Young Lu Guo stopped, and the road ahead was broken.
In front of you was a steep, deep canyon, and the far valley floor was obscured by shrubs, convex rocks, and trees that grew on the cliffs, but the sound of the cold spring water scraping the chalcedony was still clear to your ears.
Lu Guo didn't notice the changes in his body at all.
After almost two days of walking, he showed no tiredness, no hunger or thirst, and even because of the improved vision, he didn't even notice the change of day and night.
On the contrary, he felt more and more relaxed as he walked, the more he breathed freely, and he had the idea that he would be uncomfortable if he didn't walk or run.
When Lu Guo got up to talk and laugh for Orion's father, he told him, "If you get lost in the deep forest, you must find the water source, and follow the direction of the water source to get out of the deep forest." ”
So he made his way along the cliff as hard as he could, which was much more strenuous than he had just walked, and in some places the terrain was so steep that Lu Guo could barely get past it with both hands and feet. It's just that Lu Guo's body is extremely dexterous now, and his hands are also strong, and he can stabilize his body on the slippery rock wall.
After about half a day, Lu Guo finally saw a very magnificent waterfall across another cliff in the distance, ten zhang high, and there was a deep blue pool of water as clear as an ancient mirror below the waterfall, reflecting the clear sky.
Lu Guo found a slightly more stable way down the valley, grabbed the grass and trees on the rock wall and carefully slid downward.
This seemingly small mountain wall made Lu Guo walk for most of the hour. And where the deep pool is, looking close from a high place, there is actually a long distance.
Lu Guo reached into the pool, took a handful of cool pool water, let the noon sun shine directly for a while, and then opened his fingers to let the pool water that had been lost a lot scatter on his cheeks. After gradually getting used to the temperature of the pool, Lu Guo took off his clothes one by one, folded them and put them on a flat bluestone, and then jumped into the deep pool.
You must know that Lu Guo and his eldest brother have been floating in the Lishui River five or six miles away from home since he was a child, and he is very good at diving.
Lu Guo washed off the dirty blood on his body, and swam happily for a long time before he reluctantly climbed the mountain bank, but found that his clothes were no longer on the bluestone.
Lu Guo looked around, only to see that the corner of his pants was hanging on an old locust branch, and several monkeys were pulling around, having a lot of fun.
Lu Guo was afraid that his clothes would be torn, so he hurriedly picked up the pebbles by the water and threw them at the monkeys, but those monkeys were extremely dexterous, and between jumping and dodging in all directions, Lu Guo's clothes had already broken into pieces.
Lu Guo was very annoyed, and then picked up the stones and smashed them, but there was no crosshair, but he smashed a few tree trunks into some deep marks, and after a long time, Lu Guo got tired of it, and sat on the bluestone where he used to put his clothes and worried.
At this time, there were suddenly several terrible shouts from the top of the waterfall, and then I saw two people being swept down by the waterfall and falling into the pool.
Lu Guo's eyes widened, and he stayed there for a while. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly jumped into the pool again, ready to save people. It took a long time for the two men to surface, apparently unconscious.
Lu Guo swam quickly close to the two, and wanted to pull one of them ashore first, but he felt that neither of them had much weight, so he simply sandwiched the arms of the two with his arms and swam to the shore.
Lu Guo put the two of them flat on the shore in a clean place, and applied them according to the treatment method taught to him by his eldest brother, and only then did he feel relieved when he noticed that the two were breathing steadily.
The two men lying on were a man and a woman, the man was about thirty years old, in good health, and had several shocking scars on his body, apparently attacked by beasts. The woman was about a few years older than Lu Guo, and she was beautiful, with only minor scratches on her body. Both of them were pale, and cold sweat oozed from their temples, and they knew at a glance that they were invaded by the cold of the pool.
Lu Guo saw the bag exposed on the waist of the middle-aged man, hesitated for a while and opened it to take a look, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a flint and steel in it. I went around and picked up some dead wood and branches, and lit a fire next to the two of them.
Lu Guo looked at his sleek body, and suddenly felt shy, so he went to find some wide leaves and weaved a simple covering, so that he could wear them on his body.
Back at the fire, the girl had already opened her eyes, struggled to get up, looked left and right a few times, and said to Lu Guo, "This little brother, did you save us?"
Lu Guo tugged at the leaf skirt on his leg that was not long enough, his face blushed for no reason, and when he heard the girl ask, he couldn't stop nodding.
The girl was obviously much more mature than Lu Guo, and after relieving herself, she moved to the middle-aged man's side, probed his pulse with her right hand, and sighed to herself that although she was seriously injured, her life was finally saved.
So he smiled apologetically at Lu Guo: "This little brother, my surname is Luo, and my single name is a Jing character, and everyone in my family calls me Ajing." “
He added: "He is my uncle, also surnamed Luo, called Luo Jian, and my father are both begging for a living in this forest." “
Lu Guo looked at the girl Luo Jing with a pair of wonderful eyes and looked him up and down carefully, suddenly felt embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "My name is Lu Guo, I'll find you something to eat." “
"Little brother, it's very dangerous here, my uncle and I were forced by a fierce beast to fall into the water, I'm afraid it's still nearby, you better not go away alone. The girl was still worried at the mention of the beast, and couldn't help but dissuade her.
"Then I'll go over there and pick a few wild fruits, I've seen it before, it's not too far, it's over there. Lu Guo stretched out his arm and pointed to a place and ran slowly.
When Lu Guo picked the wild fruits, Luo Jing had already helped his uncle Luo Jian, Luo Jian was extremely weak, and when he saw Lu Guo, he just nodded and expressed his gratitude. Lu Guo knew that Luo Jing had already told Luo Jian the general situation, and he also nodded to Luo Jian, and put the wild fruit in his arms in front of Luo Jing's legs.
"Eat quickly, pad your stomach first, and I'll go to the water to catch a few fish later, and eat them for a long time after they are cooked." “
"Little brother, it's better for you to be careful, my father must have been looking for us at this time, and when he comes, we will have everything. “
"Well, but it's easy to catch fish, it's not a hassle at all, I'll get some out to eat first, and wait for your dad to come." “
As he spoke, Lu Guo jumped into the pool again, and after a while, he really caught two or three white fish. On the shore he broke a few stones, chose the sharpest one, skillfully dug up the entrails, removed the scales, pierced them with branches, and roasted them on the fire.
Luo Jing carefully picked out the cooked fish belly meat, fed it to her uncle little by little, and waited for Luo Jian to indicate that it was enough, and then began to eat it by herself, with cute and light movements.
Lu Guo didn't eat much, just staring at Luo Jing's bulging cheeks, his heart was warm.
"Little brother, you say, when will my father come?"
"I think, I'll come soon, I'll go pick up more firewood, and we'll wait for your father together." “
