110th bonfire
The rain finally slowly became lighter and gradually stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info sky is getting darker and darker, and when you clear the clouds, you can look up and see a little twinkling starlight.
After some tossing, everyone is already exhausted. They were soaked, as if they had been fished out of the water. They all shivered with hunger in their bodies, even though the rainforest climate in Southeast Asia was not very cold.
The old man finally calmed down from his grief. He immediately shouted to the tourists, who had escaped but were a little overwhelmed: "We don't have the strength to go on, but now we must find a way to light a bonfire." Otherwise, we're all going to get sick. ”
"Well, it's just raining, how can you light it?"
The old man was very resolute and said: "If you can't order it, you have to order it!" If we don't dry our clothes, we can't camp in such a damp jungle, and it's not just a matter of getting sick, it's going to put everyone's life at risk. Among us, two people have already passed away (referring to the driver Eevee and the old teacher), the deceased is gone, and we who are alive must try to live! ”
Listening to the old man's hoarse voice, Qian Chong stood up first, and he ordered everyone aloud: "Brothers and sisters, we are now a whole, and everyone must obey orders and commands. I now order all the men to go around at once and break some branches, preferably stout. The more the merrier! ”
Although everyone was very tired, the joy of just coming out of a desperate situation brought endless motivation to everyone, and they took action one after another...
The hill continues upwards and is also covered with shrubs and weeds. But those thick branches are not only hard, but also very capricious, and it is very difficult to break them with bare hands.
"Why do you ask to break thicker branches?"
Some people were puzzled by Qian Chong's instructions and couldn't help muttering.
A person who understood immediately explained: "Because it has just rained, those thin branches have just been drenched in water, and it is difficult to burn." The thicker branches are basically unaffected by rain on the inside, except for some water droplets hanging on the outside. So, they are more likely to be burned! ”
Those who didn't understand were immediately convinced, and they all tried their best to break the thick branches...
When they brought back some of the stout branches and gathered them together, the problem arose again - how to set them on fire?
Qian Chong was still immersed in the grief of losing his wife, and he had to stand up and guide everything, so he said loudly: "All men who have lighters, take out the lighters and hand them to me." ”
Everyone looked at each other and did as Qian Chong instructed. Almost all of the men who smoked regularly had lighters on them. After a while, Qian Chong concentrated more than a dozen lighters in his hands.
Qian Chong picked a thick, brittle branch from the pile of branches and removed some of the wet leaves attached to it. Then ask the man in yellow and the man with a hairy beard next to him to help.
The man in yellow was holding a branch in his hand, Qian Chong and the man with a hairy beard were holding a lighter in each hand, lit it separately, and aimed it at the broken cross-section of the branch...
When the first four lighters could not continue to burn, they replaced the other four lighters.
When the third time I dialed the lighter to light the branches, it finally burned...
The women who had been surrounding them couldn't help but applaud when they saw it...
At this time, several more men came, and they all chose a thick branch in their hands, and they all concentrated on the flame of the lit branch...
That little spark finally grew bigger and stronger, and it became more and more vigorous, forming multiple torches.
Without waiting for Qian Chong's command, everyone aimed the burning branches in their hands at the branches that were piled up on the ground...
After a lot of twists and turns, the pile of branches finally started to burn, and although there was a lot of smoke due to the dampness, everyone felt the fire roasting their wet bodies, and they were still excited. With this bonfire, everyone will not suffer too much on this night.
The middle-aged man did not participate in this bonfire operation because he had been sticking to the tall woman.
When the other men went to gather the branches, he took one of the tall woman's delicate arms and stayed away from them all the way to the depths of the jungle...
"Lao Wang, what are you going to do? Let go of me! ”
The tall woman has been dragged by him, and although she is reluctant to go with him, she can't stand his hard pulling.
The middle-aged man felt that he had taken her to a secluded place away from the crowd, so he let go of her and gasped, "Baby..."
"Please be respectful! I'm not your baby! ”
Hearing the tall woman's anger, the middle-aged man had to change his words and say, "Okay, then I'll call you 'Xiaoxue'..."
"Lao Wang, what are you trying to do when you drag me out?"
The middle-aged man said with a sad face: "I know you are angry with me. Actually, even I hate myself, I deceived you because of hunger, but I know that I was wrong, you can not forgive me, you can beat me, scold me. But you can't ignore me! If it weren't for you, could I have come to this place of the hell? For the sake of me doing so much for you, you shouldn't have punished me like this..."
The tall woman sneered, "Can I be blamed for this? I asked you to take me abroad to play, but I didn't ask you to bring me to this place! You've gotten me to this point, do I have to thank you? ”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "It's just bad luck that we've fallen to where we are today." In fact, there are all kinds of variables in traveling, which is not only exciting and fun, but also risky! When we were almost hit by the poisonous gas of the volcanic eruption, the woman who was traveling with me was stuck in my arms... How I wish I had you in my arms! Even if I died, I have no regrets..."
The middle-aged man was a little emotional, and he couldn't help but sob...
When the tall woman saw him like this, her heart couldn't help but soften. After all, the man in front of him gave himself too much comfort and love on the Internet, and even after meeting, he also brought himself a long-lost passion. It seems that he loves himself, but his love is not as great as he imagined. But can you still find that kind of unforgettable love in the world?
"Okay, Lao Wang, please don't be sad anymore. I don't blame you..."
As soon as the tall woman put down her soft words, she was hugged tightly by the middle-aged man and sucked desperately on her beautiful cheeks and mouth...
The tall woman was a little overwhelmed by him, but she could only 'surrender' obediently under his **.
It wasn't until they saw the light of the campfire through the jungle that they stopped for each other.
The tall woman quickly rebuttoned the middle-aged man's unbuttoned clothes, and suggested to him, "Since they have already lit a fire, let's go over and bake the clothes." I was so sick from this wet suit. ”
The middle-aged man is satisfied that he has regained the heart of a tall woman. Although because of the surrounding environment, he can't be a very tall woman, but after all, it will be a long time coming. He put his arm on the tall woman's shoulders and walked back to the crowd...
Before the tall woman approached the bonfire, she subconsciously broke free from the middle-aged man's 'shackles' and walked to Shen Junru's side naturally.
Shen Junru's attention just now was on the bonfire, and she didn't care about the movements of the people around her. When he saw the tall woman suddenly appear in his field of vision, he couldn't help asking, "Sister Chen, where did you go just now?" ”
The tall woman was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know how long it had been since Shen Junru found out that she had walked away, and there was no suitable reason for her for a while, so she hurriedly said: "I'm here for a 'matter', find a place to deal with it..."
She spoke in a very soft voice, and she just hoped that Shen Junru would not be suspicious of herself.
Shen Junru believed it was true, and couldn't help frowning: "In such an environment at the moment, the 'that' you came here is really not the right time... ”
In fact, there are still people who pay attention to her, and that is the bearded man. He responded to Qian Chong's call just now, first went to collect some branches, and then helped light the branches, and when he was done with all this, he could no longer find any trace of the tall woman. Since he couldn't find the tall woman, of course his eyes caught the middle-aged man...
It wasn't until they returned to everyone together that his hanging heart was relieved. However, he looked at the smug expression of the middle-aged man and the tacit cover of the tall woman, and his gloomy eyes were full of helplessness.
This bonfire is undoubtedly like a warm sun for these people who are immersed in the wind and rain. More than 40 of them gathered around the campfire, all of them sat down, leaning against each other and perching...
Because the ground was so damp that they could not lie down and sleep peacefully, they had to nap in groups of three or two, back to back.
Shen Junru took the initiative to lean with her because the tall woman was 'in trouble'. Qian Chong was naturally embarrassed to intervene, but he soon had a new target, that is, the old man. He had just lost a loved one today, and there was no one to rely on to partner with him.
Qian Chong felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to accompany the old man, so he took the initiative to walk to the old man's side: "Uncle, let's have a companion tonight, right?" ”
The old man understood Qian Chong's kindness, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you have to take care of that girl?" ”
Tang Teng couldn't help but glance at the figure of Shen Junru and the tall woman who were not far away, and then smiled: "Uncle, look." They already have a companion, and I, a 'lonely person', can only come to you. ”
The old man was speechless, but it was equivalent to acquiescing to Qian Chong.
Qian Chong did not rest back to back with him, but sat opposite the old man. Because he knows that it is impossible for an old man who has just lost his wife to sleep peacefully. He may need to talk to someone to relieve his grief and loneliness.
"Uncle, what other relatives do you have at home?"
One day, Qian Chong wanted to talk to himself about family life, so he replied casually: "My wife and I have three sons and two daughters. Now they are all married, and they all have their own children. The eldest granddaughter is also married. ”
When Qian Chong heard this, he couldn't help but compliment the old man and say some polite words such as 'more sons and more blessings'...
Because of the mention of his children, the old man was much more cheerful, and told Qian Chong the story of the growth of each of his children...
Qian Chong naturally listened impatiently to the old man's open chatterbox, which was not only to pass the time, but also to relieve depression.
It was already very late at night, and Qian Chong was a little tired from sitting, so he couldn't help but get up and move his body. But he saw the 'travelers' leaning against each other and napping around the campfire...
After the middle-aged man broke up with the tall woman, he got up with the man in yellow who returned his necklace and took naps back to back with each other. The newlyweds are still as close as ever, the bride lies comfortably in the groom's arms, and the groom still hugs her without regrets, and does not hesitate to exhaust his body for her. To Qian Chong's surprise, the man who threw the roast chicken was actually intimately attached to the woman in the short skirt. They once quarreled over the loss of food by a fellow villager of a woman in a short skirt. Alas, I really don't know each other! The woman in the short skirt threw her body completely into the man who threw the roast chicken. The female companion who was attached to her could only be with others. The black-faced man didn't have anyone with him, he didn't care about the muddy and damp ground, and he fell asleep on his back very calmly...
After Qian Chong glanced at the complete 'travel friend', he sat down again and asked the old man: "Uncle, we have conquered the Miasma Valley." There won't be any more danger going forward, right? ”
Unexpectedly, the old man said with a solemn expression: "Not necessarily, I am afraid that we will encounter greater trouble in the future!" ”
