The sun rises in the east, the sun is shining, the grass and trees are fresh, the birds and beasts are contending, and the misty lucky island is noisy and lively, just like the Penglai fairyland, which is extremely beautiful and charming.

Xu Wenlong woke up from sleep and suddenly felt happy and comfortable. He stretched his waist beautifully, glanced at Yu Wenli who was sleeping soundly, checked the rattan tied around her waist, and after making sure that there was no risk of falling to the bottom of the tree, he took the naan and climbed down the banyan tree with three handfuls. I washed my face, rinsed my mouth, picked a clean boulder and sat down, took out the grilled fish with charred skin and tender flesh and the fragrant "melon", and ate it silently one bite at a time. He stayed at the edge of the Tiger Falling Pond (Yu Wenli's masterpiece) for more than half an hour last night, until Yu Wenli calmed down her inner fear and recovered a little strength, and then moved her back to the water banyan tree step by step, and climbed the high branches with all her hands and feet, and was so sleepy that she leaned on the tree to rest.

Before the meal was finished, there was a scream from the banyan tree, and there were hysterical accusations. After a while, Yu Wenli climbed down from the tree with angry eyebrows. She came to Xu Wenlong angrily, crossed her hands on her waist and asked, "What do you mean?" Don't call me when you leave! Want to leave me alone? Do you want me to be left alone here to fend for myself? It really me off, and scares me to death! ”

Xu Wenlong spread his hands and replied innocently, "Haven't I left yet?" I've been waiting for you to eat, eat well and hurry together! Quick, go wash your face and rinse your mouth. The grilled fish 'melon' is fragrant and ready for you! ”

Yu Wenli glanced at Xu Wenlong, walked to the river to wash up, picked up the grilled fish and chewed it angrily, and glared at Xu Wenlong with vicious eyes from time to time. She was already frightened by the tiger, and she didn't sleep well all night, and she barely fell asleep until dawn. But when she opened her eyes in the morning, she suddenly found that the person she was holding was gone, thinking of the tiger with its teeth and claws open and its bloody mouth wide open in her sleep, which scared her into the sky, and she almost didn't hold her breath. It's no wonder that she immediately accused Xu Wenlong and was furious.

After breakfast, Xu Wenlong wrapped naan on his back, lifted a broken javelin, and said to Yu Wenli, who was still blowing her beard and staring at Yu Wenli, who was still angry: "Let's go, find the cave early and rest assured." Otherwise, we will have to live in the big tree again tonight, and maybe the tiger will follow us all the way, so that we can find a chance to have a full meal! ”

"People aren't that bad, aren't they? At least more affectionate and righteous than you! Yu Wenli snorted in her nose, rolled up her trousers and stepped into the River of Hope first, and strode forward.

The air is fresh, the sun is shining, the feet are clear river water, the head is a cool breeze, plus all kinds of strange flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts along the way, the straight people are refreshed, relaxed and happy, and forget all the troubles and sorrows in the world in a trance. However, Xu Wenlong is an exception, and even in the paradise on earth, Penglai Wonderland, he can't let him forget the heartache of losing his lover, nor can he let him get rid of the bitter sorrow of being trapped on an isolated island. Isn't it? Although he wandered in the sea for more than ten days, he was lucky to get his life back. It's just that he is shackled by the ocean and can't get out, who knows when and when he will be able to find his lover and fight his enemy? Woohoo, life is miserable, why worse!

Yu Wenli is completely different, singing and laughing all the way, picking flowers and dancing all the way. This beautiful jungle, this charming flowers and plants, this never-before-seen wild pheasant duck, and never-before-tasted strange melons and exotic fruits, have long made her forget the fright of the tiger, the sinister of the isolated island, and the loneliness and helplessness far from the mainland.

A flock of colorful pheasants flew up with their long tails and let out a melodious chirp, and fell diagonally towards a clump of shrubs.

"Quick, grab them, grab them! I want their feathered clothes! Yu Wenli exclaimed, and immediately chased forward, but finally hesitated to stay at the edge of the bushes, and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, only focusing on Xu Wenlong. Although she had only been on the island for two days, she had already learned the dangers of the jungle. Isn't it? Who knows what monster is hiding in the grass? What if there is a poisonous snake coiled around and a tiger hidden? Even a humble tree frog, centipede, or even a mosquito and fly is enough to kill a person.

Xu Wenlong replied lightly: "What's the hurry? Once we've found a place to live, we'll have as much as you want. Anyway, there are so many pheasants and wild birds here that they can't run anywhere. ”

"Okay, don't lie to me." Yu Wenli smiled, picked a handful of wild fruits shaped like strawberries and sour plums from the bushes, stuffed them into her mouth one by one, and chewed the juice sideways.

But no, the two of them walked in a roundabout way, and they encountered a lot of huge, fat and clumsy pheasants and ducks, including muntjac deer, capybaras, yellow sheep, wild boars, and so on. They either spread their hooves alone and disappeared, or walked by in groups of three or five, their gait was so elegant and their expressions were indifferent, they simply ignored the existence of Yu Wenli, who was screaming. In addition to these animals, wild melons and wild fruits are also diverse and countless. Whether it is common, such as bananas, bananas, honey pears, pineapples, etc., rare ones include lychee, star fruit, durian, etc., and there are more miscellaneous and strange-shaped melons and fruits that cannot be named. It seems that this is indeed a pristine and remote uninhabited island.

The river is crooked, and the water is murmuring. After walking for three or four hours, the trees on both sides of the bank became sparse and much smaller. Gone are the ancient trees that can be hugged by more than a dozen people, replaced by unknown trees that stand tall and straight. The shrubs and vines were numerous, clumps and piles, undulating and undulating, continuous, like towering green velvet bags.

Xu Wenlong wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the winding ridge not far away and said happily: "I will be at the foot of the mountain soon, I guess I don't need to sleep on the big tree tonight." Why don't you sit down and take a break and eat something to fill your stomach? ”

Yu Wenli patted her bulging belly and replied with a smile: "I'm full, I'm not hungry at all, you can eat if you want." Anyway, you are the boss, you call the shots, and I will listen to you. ”

"Then let's keep walking, and get to the bottom of the mountain early and feel at ease." Xu Wenlong nodded, and walked forward with the river first. Of course, he was not hungry, and like Yu Wenli, he ate a lot of wild melons and fresh fruits on the road, and he also packed a huge back with a bulging bag, and it was very heavy on his shoulders.

After walking for a short time, the river in front of me has narrowed, and the rocks on both sides are scattered, and the terrain is rising significantly, and it seems that it is really not far from the foot of the mountain.

Stepping on the rocky riverbed, flowing with cool water, throwing down many branching streams and ditches, turning a rare giant tree dozens of hugs thick, a mountain peak rising from the ground stands impressively in front of you. What's even more gratifying is that the black caves on the mountain are faintly visible, and there are quite a few of them. And the cool water of the River of Hope flowed out of one of the largest and shortest caves from the foot of the mountain, and rushed like a dragon spitting water along a 45-degree slope to the great pool at the bottom.

"It's here, my mother, it's such a high mountain, such a long mountain!" Yu Wenli looked at the mountain winding in front of her, and couldn't help clapping her hands and screaming. However, after a short time, she pursed her lips again and said gloomily, "It's a pity that it is a little steeper, and it is not easy to climb up and down, and there is not even a road." Or we'll just stay in the water hole. This is also convenient for water use, and you can also take a shower at any time. Maybe there are fish in the water. Super big fish, grilled as you catch, full of umami, worry-free and trouble-free, it is really comfortable. It's just that...... I just don't know if there's a crocodile in the hole! ”

Xu Wenlong replied with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be no crocodiles here, they are all blocked by the cliff in Luohu Pond, and they can't climb up." As for where to live, I think the mountain is so big and long, I can always find a suitable cave. If we can't find it, we'll have to take shelter in the water hole for the time being. However, the humidity inside is very heavy, which is not good for the body. ”

Yu Wenli clapped her hands and said happily: "Okay, good, it's good that there are no crocodiles." As long as there are no crocodiles, nothing is a problem, no difficulty is a problem. ”

While the two of them were talking, they walked to the foot of the mountain with inexplicable excitement, and soon came to the roaring waterhole.

This pool is a little smaller than Tiger Fall, but the same turbulent water is unfathomable. Dozens of huge and smooth stones are scattered around, and on the left and right sides are towering a water banyan tree with a thickness of four or five hugs. Under the wash of the water flowing water for many years, the water banyan trees all expose thick or thin criss-crossed and entangled developed aerial roots.

Yu Wenli picked a boulder and sat down, frowned and muttered, "It's a pity that there is no swamp, otherwise you can trap that hateful tiger." And then tie it up and lock it in a hole as a cat or a horse to ride, wouldn't it be better? If you think about it, we can tease it when it's fine, and we can use it as a horse when we go out. The beasts fled when they saw it, and the birds were scattered when they heard it, do you say they were surprised? Isn't the sting irritating? Mighty or not? ”

"You little brain loves to think nonsense! Stay here, I'll go up in the mountains and look for it. It's best to find a dry, ventilated, and not too high cave to live in. Xu Wenlong knocked Yu Wenli's head with his fingers, unwrapped his body, lifted the sharp javelin, and climbed towards the mountain.

The mountain was not high, five or six hundred meters, but it was long and steep, like a dragon winding away, and like a wall that was stacked diagonally. The mountain boulders are towering, abrupt and hideous, scattered or stacked one after another. Between the stones, there are a bunch of trees growing in the seams, undulating and contrasting with each other. The bottom of the tree is full of grass and flowers, dense and green. The top of the mountain, on the other hand, is completely different, with no grass growing at all, probably because of the stones.

It was noon, the sun was shining, the heat was unbearable, and there was not a hint of wind.

Xu Wenlong climbed up the rocks barefoot and shouldered, and soon came to a cave overgrown with vines. Poked the javelin inside, there was a muffled bang, and then I looked closely, but it turned out to be just a hole. Although the ground is very dry and clean, and it is very warm and comfortable to live in, it is too narrow and small, and it is basically impossible to move after drilling into two people, and it is not ventilated, so it is very inconvenient to eat and live. Xu Wenlong shook his head and walked to another cave. But before he reached the entrance of the cave, he suddenly heard a tremor of the air. Then I saw a big black bird fly out of the hole, flapping its wide wings and rushing towards the reckless jungle like an arrow, and disappeared in an instant.

"Well, since it's a bird's nest, don't bother." Xu Wenlong swept the javelin in his hand and continued to climb up the mountain.

There are indeed many caves in the mountainside, of different sizes and shapes, but none of them are suitable for habitation. Either it's too cramped, it's too damp and dark, it's too manta birds, or it's too steep. As I climbed higher and higher, I had a panoramic view of the jungle under my feet, and it was pointless to look for it any further. Although it is safe and reliable to avoid the poisonous insects of fierce beasts, the higher and steeper the place, it is very inconvenient to live and travel, especially difficult, and even the danger of falling and hurting your footing.

Xu Wenlong climbed and searched in the mountains for more than an hour, tired and sweating profusely, panting like a cow, but in the end he found nothing, and he was very disappointed. He sat down on a smooth stone slab and rested for a moment, then set his eyes on the water-gushing cave at the foot of the mountain.
