Chapter 157: The Valley of Despair

It is indeed a good place for green mountains and green waters, throughout the afternoon, Zhang Can and Su Xue walked around in this sinkhole-like valley bottom, but they didn't finish, there was a towering tree in the west, and a small stream in the southeast, and this water was a hot spring, at the source, the spring was bubbling with several bowls of water, steaming, far away, Su Xue could feel the heat, the water temperature at the source must be more than 100 degrees, and there was no difference from boiling water, only after flowing down for a while, the temperature gradually dropped, When it was a kilometer away and the icy water in the lake became 267 degrees Celsius, many of the fish in the pool swam to the hot water junction and jumped into the hot water, and seemed to like the temperature.

Those fish, each one has more than two or three catties, and I don't know what kind of fish it is, Zhang Can and Su Xue are very happy, if there are fish here, and it seems that there are thousands of them, the problem of food is solved, and the water at the source of the hot spring is the same as boiling water, and the fish and animals can be scalded, and they can also be cooked, and the air temperature at the bottom of the valley is because of the hot springs, of course, there are also reasons for the extremely low terrain, in short, the temperature is very comfortable, just like the turn of spring and summer.

This is indeed a very suitable place to live, but no one can come, look at the snow-capped cliffs that rise into the clouds on all sides, and who would climb such a cliff and let go of a thousand meters of rope to the bottom of this valley?

If you go through another way, like Zhang Can from the underground undercurrent, I am afraid that no one dares to do it, and if you don't drown, you will freeze to death, presumably that magical water-repellent bead, I am afraid that there will never be a second one in this world, even if there is another one, if there is no Zhang Can's own perspective aura assistance, it will not be able to absorb the energy in the water-repellent beads into the body, and Zhang Can later obtained a more powerful ability to sense and detect from the water-repellent beads. That's all after absorbing the energy of the water beads into the body, if you just put the water beads in your mouth, you will definitely not be able to get these abilities, so to speak, they are all karma and coincidence, all of them are indispensable.

It's just that there is another problem, no matter what, Zhang Can doesn't want to live in this place for the rest of his life, if he can't get out here, how can he not want his parents, brothers and sisters and Liu Xiaoqin!

Only Su Xue didn't care about those things at all, and happily wandered around, admiring the scenery at the bottom of the valley, which was completely different from Zhang Can's sad face.

The clothes are not afraid of being wet, because they are not cold, and the thick leather jacket is not used at all, not to mention that they can't be worn when they are wet, even if they are dry, they can be so hot that they sweat like rain when they are put on, how can they bear it?

Zhang Can went to the place where the pool water and the hot spring water met, and caught a fish very easily, and it was very important to carry it in his hand, it was estimated that it would not be less than three catties, and there were no tools, but fortunately, Su Xue still had a dagger on her leg, which was the equipment in her army, and the military dagger was extremely sharp, and she usually had at least one dagger and a pistol on her leg, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Zhang Can cut the fish with Su Xue's dagger and washed it on the edge of the pool, but there was no salt, but naturally he couldn't pay attention to these here.

This fish is extremely fat, it seems that there is no natural predator, Zhang Can then went to the edge of the forest to cut two branches, put the fish through and then to the boiling water at the source of the hot spring, scalded the fish to six or seven mature and then took it out, can not be scalded too hard, this is no pot, if the cooked layer is too much, the fish will be scattered, scattered in the hot water, that is not at all.

Although there is no salt, after eating beef novice soup for many days, it is indeed delicious to suddenly eat such a fish and fish, and this fish has few fine spines, the meat is tender and smooth, and it is very delicious, especially the half-cooked part is the best.

Maybe it's because of the taste, maybe it's also because I'm hungry, this fish two people ate it cleanly, and only the bones remained.

Su Xue praised: "This fish is so delicious! After a pause, he said, "There are so many in that lake, the two of us can't finish eating in our lifetimes, and we don't have to worry about not eating!" ”

Zhang Can immediately said stupidly: "You can eat for another ten days and a half months!" ”

What else can taste like this thing that has no condiments? It's just because of the freshness and the tasteless beef soup they've been eating for several days, so it's like this, and if they really eat here for three or two months, they won't feel so delicious.

After eating the fish, Zhang Can put two large leather jackets on the shore by the hot spring, the temperature in this area is very high, and the soaked leather jackets only dry after just over an hour, so that they can sleep on the ground at night.

In this place, there are no caves, no houses, and the weather is fine if it doesn't rain, but if it rains, where to hide?

Zhang Can didn't have the heart to build a log cabin or anything, at night, he put his leather jacket on the green grass by the lake, and then lay on it to sleep, Su Xue lay quietly beside him, snuggling up to Zhang Can, Su Xue, who had never been so quiet, was rarely silent at night, just quietly snuggled up to Zhang Can.

Zhang Can didn't have the heart to chat and talk to her, he was extremely bored all night, and the next day it was just shining, so Zhang Can got up and went to catch another fish, cut the fish and then took it out after the soup was halfway cooked, ate half of it himself, and left half for Su Xue.

Su Xue was still asleep, looking at her seemingly carefree face, Zhang Can didn't wake her up, picked a wide leaf, wrapped the cooked fish in the leaf, and then put it beside her.

After thinking about it, Zhang Can grabbed Su Xue's dagger and turned all the way along the edge of the woods, and it took more than four hours to walk the entire valley floor, but when he returned to his original position after walking out of his head, Zhang Can's heart was cold!

The bottom of this valley is a dead place, although the valley is vibrant, but there is no path to get out, Zhang Can of course did not think that there would be a clear way out, because he had seen clearly with the naked eye before, there were cliffs on all sides, there was no way out at all, the reason why he walked around the valley floor was mainly to find out and see if there were any caves at the bottom of the valley, some caves were connected to the outside, and they could get out of the holes, but now they are desperate!

Under the cliffs on all sides, not to mention the cave, there is not even a place to recess a little, Zhang Can was very depressed and returned to the place where he slept last night.

Su Xue had already gotten up to freshen up, and after eating the fish, she saw Zhang Can looking for a way out at the bottom of the cliff in the distance, and she didn't go over to accompany him.

After Zhang Can came back dejected, he was stunned for a while, Su Xue pointed to the sky and said, "Zhang Can, it seems to be raining, have you found any caves on the edge of the cliff to shelter from the rain and wind?" ”

"Nope!" Seeing Su Xue's expression of knowingly asking, Zhang Can replied angrily, and after being bored for a while, he knew that there was no way, since he couldn't go out, he had to make plans that he couldn't go out, so he immediately walked over to the woods with a dagger with a calm face.

This time, Su Xue actually got up with a smile and followed, Zhang Can went to the woods to cut the branches of trees to build the most temporary thatched hut dwelling, if it was really windy and rainy, then you have to be prepared, otherwise it is not good to catch a cold, in such an environment, if his aura ability is not effective, then there will be a big problem, people, it is indeed better to die than to live, it is always good to live, only alive can have a chance to go out again, if you die, even if you have a chance, it will be useless.

Zhang Can urinated on the mountain and cut firewood and did work, this kind of thing is not difficult for him at all, he is very skilled in doing it, and although Su Xue is better than him, he is obviously far from Zhang Can's opponent when he does these things, Zhang Can used a dagger to cut firewood, Su Xue helped pick it up, and then Zhang Can cut the rattan again and tied all of them together, and carried them back to the waterhole.

If there are no iron nails and other necessities, Zhang Can will use rattan instead, first build a shelf, then use four larger timber pillars to dig holes and erect them, one up and down, the ceiling is covered horizontally and vertically with many branches, and finally some leaves are spread on it, and on top of the leaves are covered with branches, tied with rattan to tie strongly, and then spread leaves, and then tied with branches, so that one side has been done three times.

Zhang Can looked inside the shed again, there was no light through, it was estimated that it should be able to block the attack of rain, after the roof of the shed was done, the wall of the house could be done slowly, it took four or five days for Zhang Can to make this simple thatched hut of about ten square meters.

Half of the room was used to make a wooden bed, and the bed could not be used with leaves, and there was nothing else, only two large leather jackets, fortunately the weather was not cold, and both large leather jackets were used to cushion underneath.

The two are not husband and wife, but they live like husband and wife, Zhang Can has been busy these days, and he has not had the heart to think about anything else, after building the thatched house, he has time to think about other things.

Su Xue has been radiant these days, she knows that Zhang Can is bored, so she doesn't touch him, and eats fish every day, Su Xue is really a little tired, but there is no way, there is no other food at the bottom of this valley for them to enjoy, there are some birds in the woods, but they can't catch them flying in the sky.

In order to remember the time, every day that passed, Zhang Can used a dagger to draw a mark on the trunk of the tree cut by the head of the bed, until he memorized the whole five "positive" words, Zhang Can was almost crazy!

At the bottom of this valley, you can't get out and can't get out, the only exit may be the underground dark river in the pool, but Zhang Can doesn't dare to gamble again, if you can't get out, then you really have to die underground, if you want to go back to the underground cave from the undercurrent river, it is also impossible, first, to go back is to go upstream, it is difficult to take Su Xue with you, it is difficult to do, and secondly, even if you return to that place, after such a long time, Wang Qian and Zheng Dabao and others will never wait there again, and they can't go up the cliff when they go back.

Maybe, it's really only here for the rest of the day!

There is snow on the mountain, and the stars can be seen in the sky by chance, Zhang Can sat on the grass and looked at the stars in the night sky, I don't know what happened to my sister and Liu Xiaoqin in Jincheng? What would happen if they found out that they were dead or missing?

There are also parents and sisters-in-law in their hometown, if they know the news, they will be even more sad, Zhang Can looked at the starry sky, and suddenly felt sad, and couldn't help but cry like rain!

How did you end up in this field?

stretched out a hand obliquely, and gently wiped Zhang Can's tears, when she bullied Zhang Can before, although she had the absolute upper hand, she had never seen Zhang Can so weak!

Su Xue's maternal gentleness made Zhang Can unable to hold back any longer, and threw herself into her arms and cried!

Su Xue gently stroked Zhang Can's hair, although she didn't speak, but her true feelings were revealed, she really loved this man she liked to the extreme, just because she had someone she liked, so she was so fearless, even in this place that would make people crazy, she didn't feel afraid, she just felt that as long as she was with Zhang Can, no matter where she was, she liked it!
