Unfortunately, it backfired, and in the darkness I could barely see a tall black shadow running towards me, followed by a group of smaller animals, only ten feet away from the tree where the three of them were resting.

The three of them stared at the black shadows that were fighting in a group, and it seemed that the situation was a situation of unilateral torture and killing, and they saw that several small black shadows had fallen, and a long, terrible, blood-boiling howl came, which should have been made by the group of smaller animals.

The cry of "chirp" is relatively narrow, the battle is fierce, seeing this group of small animals fall down more and more, this tiger is worthy of being the king of the forest, standing at the top of the food chain of animals, the other party has suffered heavy casualties, one by one began to run back, leaving behind the dead companions, the end of the challenge tiger is very miserable, the tiger did not chase the animals that escaped, and leisurely ate the dead prey.

The three people on the tree looked at the tiger walking back and forth, for fear that it would pay attention to this side and walk this way, probably because there was ready-made food lying on the ground, and the tempter predator could see the tall black shadow pounce on the food on the ground, and grab it with its claws, you can imagine tearing, biting, chewing, swallowing a few simple actions, and soon a prey disappeared.

The black shadow continued to eat the prey on the ground, the three people on the tree were all afraid, obviously the black shadow was eating the prey on the ground, the sound of the prey being bitten off the bone was like a surround sound in the ears kept amplifying, each bite was like a bite on their own body, the three of them trembled in fright, their ears could not block these sounds, and they passively received information from a distance.

Every minute and second is torment, feeling the spur of fear, unable to move or speak, like three stakes rooted in a tree, eager to blend into the tree, become a race outside the range of predators' recipes, and escape the balance of the biological chain.

I don't know how long it has been, it stands to reason that the black shadow's eating speed is not slow, but because he pays attention to the movement not far away every second, he cares about every second of time, this is not a statement to cherish time, it seems that time passes very slowly, the three wooden stakes on the tree have neglected the body function, and he can't feel the numbness of his feet, and only a pair of eyes are still running in his body, staring straight at that place.

The black shadow, who was finally full, did not continue to linger here, and left here calmly with graceful steps, until the black shadow was completely invisible, and the three of them broke away from the stillness.

Li Yangqing felt that his heartbeat slowly returned to normal, stretched his legs, which were numb from holding a position for a long time, let go of his hands that were deeply gripping the bark because of his nervous nails, and leaned on the tree pole relaxedly, "You guys, are you okay?" The tiger finally left, and it scared me to death. ”

"Yes, if the tiger goes a little further and walks under our tree, we'll be finished." When facing the wolf, Sun Liya, who was quite bold, would be really afraid, and his usual loud voice had lowered his volume and spoke in a low voice.

Sun Chong listened to the conversation between the two girls, why not himself! Loosened the hands that were clenched into fists just now, reached out and touched the back that was already sweaty, as a hunter in the face of other animals can still let go, but in the face of such a behemoth, the time and place are not advantageous, and they are not afraid of death alone, these two girls are not good, if they are found at that time, the three of them will definitely die!

"You, today you have also seen the danger of this mountain forest all the way, there are unknown dangers anytime and anywhere, tomorrow we have to hurry early, strive to be able to go down the mountain before dark, if you spend another night in this forest, you may not have the good luck of escaping today, I am afraid, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you at that time, I, I ......." This is the first time that Sun Chong has expressed his worries with fear, in the past, everyone saw him calm and calm, coming and going freely in the mountains and forests, and felt that there was nothing that could make him afraid.

"Well, Uncle Chong, we won't rest tomorrow, let's rest slowly at the bottom of the mountain, let's go to bed early!" For Li Yangqing, whose physical strength obviously can't keep up with his uncle and nephew, he doesn't ask for more rest on the road, and he is tired and lifeless.

After a night of mental torture, when they set off at dawn, the three of them obviously did not rest well, and a little wind and grass in the second half of the night could wake up the three of them, fortunately it was a false alarm, but it also raised the vigilance of the three of them in the face of the surrounding environment.

When the sky was just dawning, Sun Chong woke up the two, and the two were quickly awakened, looking at Sun Chong in a daze like two stupid geese, looking at their eyes a little confused, Sun Chong was amused by the appearance of the two, "Hehe, let's go, we should go down the tree and set off, I will go down to meet you first." ”

After Sun Chong finished speaking, he untied the clothes tied around his waist and put them in the back basket, and quickly hugged the tree and slowly slid down, Sun Liya and Li Yangqing also untied the clothes on their waists and the hemp rope tied to the back basket, and together they sent the three back baskets down the tree in turn, Sun Chong took the back basket below and untied the rope, shook the rope, Sun Liya willingly withdrew the hemp rope, "Sister Yangqing, come, I'll help you tie the rope, you go down first, I'll be the last." ”

"Okay, then you should be careful." Li Yangqing tied the safety rope with the help of Sun Liya, his hands and feet were firmly close to the body of the tree, Li Yangqing said that he was ready, Sun Liya began to slowly release the rope, Li Yangqing slowly slipped down with the protection of the rope, and landed on both feet.

Sun Liya, who stayed in the tree, saw that Li Yangqing landed safely, untied the rope tied to the tree, and threw it under the tree.

Sun Chong reached into the back basket and grabbed two handfuls of jerky and two bamboo tubes filled with water and gave them to Sun Liya and Li Yangqing, "This is today's food and water, we won't delay eating halfway, everyone will put it away, and eat when you are hungry." Both of them took the food and water, and both stuffed a stick of jerky into their mouths.

Sun Chong also followed the two of them with a bamboo tube hanging on their waists, loaded jerky in their arms, carried the basket on their backs, and held a weapon in their hands, "Let's go, let's go, this place is not suitable for a long time, there were traces of animal fights here last night, there must have been traces of blood left at the scene, and animals with a keen sense of smell will definitely find here to pick up the leak." ”

It is still the forward formation of yesterday's team, Sun Chong and Sun Liya, Li Yangqing is in the middle, and today the three of them are no longer in the mood to rush with a recreational nature, all the way are walking like flying, looking hurried, silent, and following Sun Chong's instructions to move forward, pause and retreat, like a disciplined army.

After last night's night of refining courage, the silent mountains and forests shrouded in fog in the morning did not seem so terrible to Li Yangqing, and his spirit came up after experiencing the tempering on the edge of life and death.

All three of them took a mouthful, took out the dried meat to eat when they were hungry, drank water when they were thirsty, and did not slow down their progress in the slightest, and after the morning and noon, when the sun had set and left a sky full of red clouds, they reached the foot of the mountain.

The three of them have been away from the crowd for a long time, thinking that they can see some traces of people when they go down the mountain, but unfortunately, the scene in front of them is very unfamiliar, looking at the three rivers that have receded, the turbid and yellowed river water is full of debris, the river is still the same river, but it is no longer clear.

On the banks of the river are washed trees scattered in the mud, half-buried and half-exposed bones, lawns that are not covered with green grass, only layers of uneven ravines that have been washed away, and the boats that used to be seen on the river, and the laughter of children laughing and playing on the shore, but now they can only see the desolation and silence, giving people the illusion that they are not in the wrong place.

"Let's go, let's go to the village and see...... Let's see if there's anybody! Sun Chong no longer looked at the depressed scene, hoping that the village would be a different scene.

"Well, second uncle, let's go, the village shouldn't be like this!" Although Sun Liya's tone is certain, she has no bottom in her heart.

Li Yangqing didn't speak, he followed behind Sun Chong, the road Sun Chong took was to Sunjia Village, this road that he was used to walking in the past, today he walked extremely heavy, and he didn't seem to be cowardly in his hometown, so he couldn't tell his mood at the moment.

When he arrived at the entrance of Sunjia Village, he was about to enter the village with his feet raised, and Sun Chong was indeed a little hesitant, afraid that the beauty of his imagination would be broken.

Sun Liya saw Sun Chong stop, and couldn't help but step forward and pull Sun Chong's sleeve, "Second uncle, why don't you leave?" Let's go inside! Just watch it early and settle your mind early! ”

Sun Chong nodded, plucked up the courage to walk to the village, the path in the village is no longer smooth, the footprints that can be seen on the path in the past, now I haven't seen it after walking for so long, it seems that no one has ever come, in front of a house, let's call it a house! In fact, all that remained was an earthen wall that had not collapsed.

Sun Liya raised her hand and pointed to the earthen wall, "This is, I remember that this is Grandpa Hayata's home!" How did it become like this? ”

Li Yangqing also looked at the earthen wall, and heard Sun Liya mention the words Grandpa Hayata, "Sister Liya, are you talking about Grandpa Hayata, who has a lot of ducks at home and often goes to the town to sell ducks and duck eggs?" ”

Sun Liya turned her head to look at Li Yangqing, and said suspiciously: "Eh, yes, his family has a lot of duck eggs, you haven't been to our village before!" How do you know Grandpa Hayata? ”

Li Yangqing recalled the old man in his memory who kindly reminded him not to run to the alley where people sold slaves, but now that things are wrong, I don't know if he is still alive? "When our family used to set up a stall in the town, I bought a lot of duck eggs from him, and he told me his name, and I also said that I would look for him if I wanted to buy duck eggs in the future!"

The three of them stayed here for a moment and continued to walk forward, passing by several broken walls, and could vaguely see the house-style houses, so they walked and walked, and when they reached a few earthen walls that were about to fall, the roof was gone, only a few sturdy shelves were still on top, and the courtyard gate no longer knew where to run.

"Second uncle, this is your home, right? We...... Let's go in and see, maybe, maybe ....... Sun Liya looked at Sun Chong with red eyes, Sun Chong raised his breath and ran in, he ran very fast, and a gust of wind blew in front of Sun Liya and Li Yangqing.

The two of them were not in a hurry to reflect, and they saw him enter the earthen wall and reach out to find something, feeling east and west, not knowing what important things he was looking for, he didn't move again after tossing for a while, leaning against a dirt wall and slowly sliding down, lowering his head, the remnants of the wall with such an invisible person, you can feel this sad atmosphere from a distance.

Sun Liya and Li Yangqing looked at Sun Chong who was sitting on the ground, the two stepped forward and sat silently on both sides of him, looking at the dilapidated house, they didn't speak but quietly accompanied, and everyone tacitly understood why this situation occurred.

The three of them sat like this for about two moments, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Sun Chong raised his head, and could vaguely see the water stains in the corners of his eyes.
