Chapter 84: Nodes
The moon hangs on the branches, and the nights are as cool as water.
The tired birds have returned to their nests. The mountains were silent, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep. Only the wind and spring flowed, and the clear sound tinkled.
Behind a hill, two bonfires were lit on the ground. One pile of two lunch boxes, boiling wild vegetables and beans, and another pile with branches and a fat hare crossed.
The rabbit was half-baked, dripping grease from time to time, leaving the flames to sneer. Gu Shi picked up salt and pepper and carefully sprinkled a few layers. After seeing the meat turn golden brown, he tore off a piece and tasted it.
"We can eat. ”
"It's better on my side. ”
Xiaozhai handed over the lunch box, tasted the other party's craftsmanship, and nodded at the same time.
They initially brought compressed biscuits, but the flavor of that stuff was really hard to swallow, so they tossed it aside after eating it. Xiaozhai knows all kinds of plants, so he is responsible for collecting them. Gu Xian was in charge of hunting. Too precious to resist, he aimed at rabbits and pheasants.
Only these two people, as long as they are given enough fresh water and spices, they can stay in the mountains for the rest of their lives.
Wen Gu took a piece of hind leg meat, casually talked about Zhao Jiu's murder, and said, "Do you think this is man-made?"
"It's hard to say. There are tens of millions of secret door techniques, such as raising poisonous insects, raising imps, and refining corpses in Xiamao Mountain, all of which can be done. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, we're going to Zhoushu, we just want to know. ”
Xiaozhai picked up the lunch box and wanted to drink some wild vegetable soup, but after taking it back, he said, "No." ”
"Or?" he smiled.
"Hmm. ”
Wen Gu picked up his lunch box and gave her half of it. She has a light taste and likes vegetarian food, so he can eat anything.
After a while, the two of them finished their dinner.
Gu Shi went to the creek to take a bath. The village removed the fire and covered it with a layer of flat branches and a thin blanket. The ground is very hot, and the heat is coming. The kang in the northeast is a bit problematic.
She put down her clothes and gave up half of her position.
When he returned, instead of getting together, he sat a few meters away and started practicing.
"Squeak!"
"Dad!"
Menggu sat up and listened intently, releasing divine knowledge. This small camp was under his control. The flames licked the dry wood with a crisp crackling sound. Xiaozhai closed his eyes and seemed to sleep soundly.
After a while, until midnight.
He swallowed together, and the green snake leaned against him, hissing and spitting out the letter, apparently practicing.
The yin qi turned into white threads and was sucked into the body along with the lunar power. Runs the whole body, nourishes pores, and finally fuses the yin and yang of the abdomen.
"Shouting ......"
"Shouting ......"
Well?
Suddenly, Gu Mei stopped breathing, and she seemed to hear a slight sound in her ears, like the sound of a meat pad stepping on the ground.
He opened his eyes, patted Xiaoqing, signaled to his master, and went there alone. Sure enough, a pair of glowing eyes peculiar to felines, glowing green not far away.
This is also a big meow, a clouded leopard, which is located at the top of the food chain of Tianzhu Mountain.
It stared at the humans, deliberately trying to pounce on them, but the animal instinctively told itself that the man was not easy to deal with. When he hesitated, Gu Xi picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground.
"Suffocation!"
The mud-covered branches screamed like Janjaweed, and their voices were high-pitched.
"Play by yourself and don't come close. He waved.
“......“
The clouded leopard looked at him, then at the forbidden line on the ground. It meowed, turned and ran away. Yes, that's what the leopard calls it.
Gu Shi disbanded the big cat, wiped himself and returned to the campfire, and sat down again.
Xiaozhai asked vaguely, "What is this?"
"Nothing... Go to bed. ”
"Hmm. ”
She lazily rolled over.
......
Before they knew it, they had been in the mountains for four days.
The area on the map is getting smaller and smaller, and their emotions are getting more and more emotional. For four whole days, facing the rolling mountains, I searched and explored step by step, and I was very, very patient.
This afternoon, after a painful failed search, the two of them had to rest and prepare lunch.
The camp is close to a small river and is spacious. Gu hunted a pheasant. Xiaozhai picked some wild fruits and was cleaning them by the river.
Xiaozhai washed the fruit, caught one himself, and fed him another. Suddenly, he sighed, "Before we come in, the app to calculate the next award is ready." ”
"Yes, let's stay a few more days, even a down payment is enough." Wen Gu also sighed.
"But the good news is that we can find fewer and fewer places."
"Well, it shows that we're getting closer to the goal. ”
“......“
The two looked at each other, there was no choice but to comfort them like this.
Gu Shi squatted by the river, cut open the chicken's belly, and washed it with water. Sticky viscera and intestines float down the river, giving off a faint smell of blood.
Xiaozhai looked around boredly, looking at the river from time to time. Suddenly, her eyes froze and she warned, "Be careful!"
"Whoa!"
As soon as the words fell, he saw a strange fish jump out of the river, biting Gu Jing's fingers with a mouth full of teeth. He frowned slightly, put his left hand down with a snap, and grabbed his finger directly.
The fish twitched again on the shore.
"It's ......"
Wen Gu picked it up and recognized it for a long time. Qi said, "Is this a black fish? Why is the head so big?"
He would never admit to being a blackfish, but his large head and sharp, protruding teeth made him look scary.
"This tooth has caught up with the piranha. Is this a change... Huh?"
He suddenly interrupted a meal, looked at Xiao Zhai, and the two instantly empathized and said goodbye, their eyes flashing.
Before looking for the old tree, I walked through a nest of alienated poisonous mosquitoes. In this river, there are big black fish again. Irregular events are clues.
As a result, they hurriedly ate something and raised their heads along the river.
After walking for almost 30 minutes, I finally found a natural cave under the cliff from which the river flowed.
"The aura has become very powerful, yes, here!"
Wen Gu felt it for a while, and was very sure.
After a little preparation, they lifted their feet and walked into the cave. The opening of this cave is large and does not seem to be deep. Although the light inside is dim, it is not dim. The gravel enters both sides of the coast and is barely walkable.
These two people are very cautious, always paying attention to steady breathing, and if they feel slightly uncomfortable, they will quit immediately.
"Tick, tick!"
From time to time, water droplets drip overhead, and all sorts of strange fish jump out of the river. They are all ferocious and terrifying. They opened their mouths wide as if to scare them. Then they pounced and stepped back.
The cave is really not deep, and it ends after a few tens of meters. The two of them hugged the rocks and stood cautiously, secretly surprised.
Inside, the space is getting more and more open, and the most special thing is that a small lake has formed here, and the center of the lake is bubbling and surging, as if there is spring.
"Finally found it!"
When they see each other, they finally let go of the power they had been suppressing.
"How's it going?" asked Xiaozhai.
"Shouting ......"
Gucci took a deep breath and spit out again with the expected excitement. Instead of answering, he held out his hand, a junior.
