Chapter Forty-Six: The Ghost Hits the Wall and the Morbius Ring

Wherever it gets dark, you rest -- this is an old saying in Yuzhou. Yun Kai and Yan Xiaoyi didn't believe in evil, and disdained Lao Du's theory that the ghost hit the wall, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, they simply found an open place and began to cut bamboo to set up a tent. In the eyes of two foodies, when the light is dark, it is only suitable to light a bonfire, roast a few sausages and drink two glasses of soju, as for those who are looking for a way, it is after waking up after eating and drinking.

The freshly cut green bamboo is not easy to burn, but fortunately, there are enough dried bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest, and after collecting them into piles, they will burn at one point, and then cut the bamboo into sections and set up a bonfire on the dead leaves. Lao Du has experience and said that bamboo must be split from it before it can be burned, otherwise it will explode like firecrackers and easily cause fire. The purpose of banning fires in the mountains is also to prevent fires, and Yan Xiaoyi, who was making a fire to make a fire, became a woodcutter, tired and sweaty, and began to nag that there was no place to take a bath.

Lao Du said that you can't pay attention to it in the mountains, and if you want to take a bath, you have to touch the ditch or lake. Yun Kai took a bamboo skewer sausage rack and roasted it on the fire, and soon it was filled with an attractive aroma, and the oil was bubbling in the mouth, and the three of them were addicted to eating. Lao Du was worried about the ghost hitting the wall, so he didn't talk much, but he drank a lot of wine, and it didn't take long for him to get into the tent.

The night sky of Shennongjia is clear and distant, but unfortunately it is blocked by dense bamboo forests. Looking up from the temporary camp, you can only see a small starry sky overhead from the bamboo forest clearing in a radius of several meters, because it is even more precious because it is small. Occasionally, one or two beast roars came from afar, and the autumn wind roamed through the bamboo forest, making the bamboo forest rustle and complain...... On this late autumn night, everything is very vivid, as vivid as Butterfly Valley.

Yun Kai raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, lay down on his back in the tent, and said after a while: "Xiao Yi, do you have a family?" ”

"Swollen, homesick?" Yan Xiaoyi threw the paper cup containing the wine into the fire and lay down as well.

Yun Kai clasped his hands behind his head, looking at the intoxicating night sky from afar, and did not make a sound.

Yan Xiaoyi thought for a while and said, "I don't know who my parents are, I only have one brother - twin brothers. ”

"Oh, he's not in Yudu?"

"We were all in Yudu before, and he went to Yundian some time ago." Yan Xiaoyi sighed and said: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves...... What about your family? ”

"My family is in the mountains, but not here." Yun Kai reached out and grabbed a green bamboo leaf and put it in his mouth, as if saying to himself: "Compared with you, I am much luckier." I am an only child, and my elders have been strict since I was a child, but fortunately I have many playmates in the village, but my father is gone a few years ago. When I was a child, my dream was to become a respected pharmacist like my father's generation, but when my father left, I became what I am now......"

"You're not bad now, I haven't seen a pharmacist more powerful than you."

"It's far from what they asked for - I'm a runaway, hehe."

"That shouldn't be. You don't understand, people like me who have no home understand the value of home......"

"So I'm missing them a little." Yun Kai turned over and sat up from the tent, changed the subject and said, "Don't talk about this." Xiao Yi, do you have a dream? ”

"Yes! Gu Long's Feng Siniang is Brother Su's idol. She likes to ride the fastest horses, climb the highest mountains, eat the spiciest dishes, drink the strongest wine, play with the sharpest knives, and kill the most ruthless people...... Brother only needs to change the last one and soak the most beautiful girl, hahaha! ”

"Hahaha......"

After entering the tent, Yun Kai practiced the dragon body technique as usual. After getting used to abdominal breathing, there was no other change in his body, but it was a lot easier to cross the mountains and mountains, when Yan Xiaoyi and Lao Du were panting, Yun Kai was as easy as walking on the ground, which made him slightly more confident, as for the difficult movements of the twelve shapes, he could only go back to Chongqing to consult Uncle Long.

Early the next morning, the three of them packed their bags and hit the road again. Yan Xiaoyi proposed: "I went around two circles yesterday, and today we will walk in a straight line to see, I don't believe that we will go around in circles!" ”

Lao Du asked: "The mountain road is rugged, how can you ensure that you walk in a straight line?" ”

Yan Xiaoyi took out his compass and said confidently: "You open the way, I will be a navigator in the back, and I will become a ...... if I keep going in one direction."

Before there was no better choice, the three of them decided to go again according to Yan Xiaoyi's method, even if it was a dead horse to be a live horse doctor, it was better than staying where they were and waiting for death, so they ...... Yun Kai and Lao Du, who opened the road in front, were unlucky.

Yan Xiaoyi's method of ensuring a straight line is simple and crude, that is, three people are separated by a certain distance to ensure that they are always in a straight line - but in the dense bamboo forest, how easy is it to do this? Yan Xiaoyi's own task is simple, just take the compass and look at the direction, but the person who opens the road in front must deviate from the path and plunge into the jungle where there is no way out.

Yunkai complained about Yan Xiaoyi's method of cheating his father, Yan Xiaoyi said vigorously: "There is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road-who said it, my brother thinks it is very philosophical...... Go a little to the left, you're off the rails again! ”

"Your sister, there's a big pit on the left, don't you see?"

"Jump!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny - three hours later, the three of them are back to the camp last night.

"Nima, what's going on?" Yan Xiaoyi, who had a bad idea, said suspiciously: "Could it be that there is a realistic version of the MΓΆbius ring here?" Yunkai, this is a shocking discovery, let's make a big deal! ”

"I think it's a big deal!" Yunkai's coat was torn into strips by bamboo strips, like a ragged beggar, and two blood marks were also brushed on his face, and he glared at Yan Xiaoyi viciously and said, "If it's a Mobius ring, Nima can get out?" ”

Lao Du and Yunkai took turns to open the way, and they couldn't get any better, and said dejectedly: "The ghost hits the wall!" I said that it was a ghost hitting the wall, but you don't believe it...... We can't get out! ”

Yun Kai took off his torn clothes and pants, took out the only spare set from his backpack and changed it on, then found a branch and squatted on the ground to draw circles. The distance of two or three kilometers is not long, Yan Xiaoyi used a compass to direct a straight line, but finally went back to the same place, what is going on?

As a standard technical controller, Yunkai killed the Mobius ring that he didn't believe Yan Xiaoyi, and he didn't believe what Lao Du said about the ghost hitting the wall. Putting aside the ideas of science fiction and superstition, Yunkai believes that there is only one possibility, that is, the compass fails.

Senior travelers have had similar experiences, some special terrain or mineral deposits will cause the magnetic field to distort, so the compass will fail, and the senses of people and animals will also have the illusion that they are walking in a straight line, which is similar to Jin Yong's Peach Blossom Island maze. Since he walked back to the same place three times, putting aside the subjective vision obscured by the bamboo forest, it should be an unstandard circle from the air - this is the topographic map drawn by Yunkai.

There is a cliff on the top of the bamboo circle, and the other three sides are not visible, so I don't know where the boundary of the bamboo forest isβ€”there is no exit to this circle, but there must be an entrance, right? According to Yunkai's memory, before entering the bamboo forest, it was a low bush, and Lao Du led the way in front at that time, and the two of them did not pay attention to the direction in the back.

Yun Kai turned his head and asked Lao Du, "Brother Du, do you remember which direction you came in from yesterday?" ”

Lao Du seemed to be frightened by the ghost hitting the wall, and said in despair: "At that time, the sun seemed to be in the west, no, the south was ......."

This answer is the same as not answering. Needless to say, if you want to rely on Lao Du's memory to find the entrance, it is more unreliable than Yan Xiaoyi's straight-line pathfinding method, and Yunkai can only find another way.

Yan Xiaoyi, who had tossed everyone with bad ideas, was silent at this time, and followed behind Yun Kai with a fart, seeing him staring at a cluster of red wildflowers, he had nothing to say: "This is another Shenma herb?" ”

"A bunch of red. Haven't you seen such a big piece downstairs in the hospital's inpatient department? Yun Kai picked a bunch of flowers and stuffed them into his mouth.

There is no pollution in the wild, a clean bunch of red, soft and sweet to eat. Yan Xiaoyi did the same, and when he was about to pull out all the strings of red, he was stopped by Yun Kai.

"Don't eat it all, save some."

"Do you want to save some points too? It's not Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass! ”

"If you want to keep some, you can keep some. Brother and foodie don't have a common language, so I'm too lazy to explain it to you. Yun Kai got up and walked to the side, took out the medicine bag from his backpack, turned around and sprinkled some medicine powder on the remaining string of red, and a faint fragrance immediately filled the flowers.

Yan Xiaoyi didn't know what to do, and asked curiously: "Is this useful?" ”

Yun Kai sighed and said, "Let me ask you, can't we find a way out?" ”

"You're not talking nonsense, why don't we stay here and eat flowers? Oh, I see, I guess we'll have to be wild people in this mountain in the future, these game meat are our rations, no wonder you don't let me eat more......"

Yun Kai looked at Yan Xiaoyi like an idiot, and said angrily: "If we can't find the way, it doesn't mean that others can't find it either-what is the animal with the best sense of direction?" ”

A few bees smelled the flowers, buzzed and flew in, flapping their wings and crawling on a string of reds. Yan Xiaoyi suddenly realized, pointed to the bee that was unwilling to fly away and said, "You mean bees?!" ”

"Not hopelessly stupid." Yun Kai stood up and beckoned the two to pack their luggage and said, "Hurry up, let's follow the bees!" ”

"Big brother, people have wings, can we keep up?" Yan Xiaoyi said while putting on his backpack: "Great god, you are such a cow, take me to pretend to be forced to fly with me......"

"Nima talks a lot of nonsense. Follow behind, don't be ashamed! Yun Kai grabbed the string of red and stuffed it into his backpack. A few bees, which were feasting, suddenly found that their rice bowls were gone, and after a few laps in mid-air, they flew away in disappointment.

Yun Kai smeared some potion on the tip of his nose, got up and chased after the bees, and Yan Xiaoyi and Lao Du also hurriedly followed. Of course, the two laymen will not understand that the medicinal powder sprinkled by Yun Kai on a string of red is called "Mingyuexiang", and the name smeared on the tip of the nose is called "Qianlixiang", and the name is taken from the meaning of "Mingyue Qianli sends acacia". The bee collects honey on a string of red, and the body is naturally stained with the smell of bright moon incense, and after the tip of Yunkai's nose is smeared with thyme, the smell of bright moon fragrance can be smelled from more than ten kilometers away - to put it bluntly, it is a biochemical version of GPS location tracker.

After seven rounds and eight bends, the three of them finally walked out of the ** bamboo forest. The exit that was blocked by the low bamboo bushes, in the middle of several tall arrow bamboos around two S-shaped, even if the passers-by pulled out the low bamboo bushes, what they saw was still the tall arrow bamboo, visually impeccable, no wonder the past was ignored three times.

"Daddy! This place is less than 200 meters away from last night's campsite! Yan Xiaoyi, who walked at the back, cursed viciously: "Damn the ghost hit the wall, brother never wants to come again......"

"Hehe, you really don't have to come again!!"

Several jet-black muzzles protruded from behind the bamboo grove on one side, aiming at the foreheads of the three men.
