Chapter 10: Hungry Wolf Sneak Attack
In the dense forest, the bonfire was beating, dispelling the night that had just fallen, Yang Zheng casually found a branch to sit under his buttocks, stretched his legs to relax himself, took a bite of the snake meat handed over by Ah Mei, looked at the bleak forest in front of him and said casually: "The forest is full of dangers, it will be safer to sleep on the tree." ”
"Why?" Ah Mei asked curiously, with a surprisingly high desire to learn.
Yang Zheng didn't know if it was appropriate to tell Ah Mei about this, but the road ahead was vast, survival was difficult, and he couldn't take care of much, so he explained: "We have a fire here, and the smoke is burning, and all kinds of poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, and mountain leeches hiding around will scare away a lot, and the snakes in the trees will run away when they feel the fire." ”
"Then they won't come again?" Ah Mei asked curiously.
"Generally not, unless the fire is extinguished, so we must make sure that the fire will not be extinguished, in addition, wild wolves and other carnivores in the forest do not dare to approach when they see the fire, so wild camping must ensure that there is a fire, unless there is no way to make a fire, eat it first, and you can't chew it when it's cold." Yang Zheng explained, continuing to eat.
Ah Mei agreed, and quickly ate it, there was a fishy smell, but she stubbornly endured it, and swallowed it before she had time to chew it completely, and the tears almost came out, Yang Zheng saw this scene and reminded: "Ah Mei, chew and swallow again, to ensure that every cent of calories are absorbed by the stomach, which is helpful to the body, not chewing and swallowing it will only burden the stomach, and it is not good for the body, I don't know why, what Abba said, can't be wrong." ”
"Well, Abba is the best, but it's really unpalatable." Ah Mei said helplessly.
"Well, it's really unpalatable, you can wait a minute." Yang Zheng said and got up, picked a broad leaf from the side, there was still some dripping water on it, Yang Zheng folded the broad leaf into a funnel shape, let the water drops flow to the lower end, gathered together, sat down by the bonfire again and said, "Come, put a little salt in it." ”
"Oh." Ah Mei obediently agreed, put down the barbecue in her hand, took out a small bag from her pocket and opened it, took out a little salt and put it in the water droplet, and the salt melted.
Yang Zheng smiled: "Try it with dipping and eating." ”
Ah Mei picked up the snake meat, tore off a piece of salt water and put it in her mouth to chew, although the fishy smell is still there, but finally has some other taste, it tastes better, this time carefully chewed and swallowed, and said: "Brother, it's better." ”
"Eat, eat enough to live." Yang Zheng said casually and continued to eat.
A larger pit viper was skinned and dried and there was not much left, and the snake was originally not much meat, the brothers and sisters ate the whole snake after a while, it was not enough, and the wild fruits picked by Ah Mei were also eaten, the two sat around the campfire and chatted one sentence after another, one asked, one answered, unconsciously, Yang Zheng taught Ah Mei the survival skills he would know, and I don't know how much I can learn.
The night was getting deeper, and a bright moon climbed up the treetops, Yang Zheng looked at the moonlight, and said in a low voice: "It's not early, you go to bed first, Brother keeps vigil." Worried that Ah Mei would not agree, she added: "It's your turn to turn back." ”
"Got it." Ah Mei agreed and got up.
Yang Zheng also got up, first went up the tree to inspect the platform built, and after confirming that there was no danger, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to get off the tree, when he saw two more points of green light in the woods in front of him, which was strange in the night, and an animal flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but be horrified, jumping down without caring about anything, while shouting: "Quick, go up the tree." ”
"What's wrong?" Ah Mei asked in surprise.
"Hurry up the tree, hurry." Yang Zheng didn't care about explaining, staring at the two green lights in the night in front of him, and picked up the mountain knife that was pierced on the ground next to him, with a knife in his hand, he waited in his heart, and found that Ah Mei hadn't moved yet, and was looking around curiously, in a hurry, and hurriedly urged: "It's a wild wolf, hurry up the tree." ”
"Huh? Oh—" The little sister was taken aback, and quickly agreed to climb up the tree.
Fortunately, Ah Mei has grown up in the forest since she was a child, and climbing trees is nothing, and her movements are quite proficient.
Yang Zheng stared at the two green lights that were slowly approaching in front of him, and said eagerly: "Keep climbing up, there is a platform on it, hide on the platform, don't fall down." ”
"Got it, brother, be careful." Ah Mei replied worriedly.
The wild wolf is not only ferocious, but also not low in intelligence, not easy to deal with, Yang Zheng stared at the front, clenched the chopping knife, nervous, a year ago to kill the wolf by outwitting, not a real ability, the little sister is still climbing trees, she must not retreat, muster up the courage to take a step forward.
At this moment, Yang Zheng found that the two green lights actually stopped, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and he had the courage to continue to take a step forward, and found that the two green lights were located and then retreated a little, and wondered, could it be that the wild wolf would also be afraid? Or do you not find an opportunity and want to find another way?
Yang Zheng didn't dare to bet, stared at the front nervously, saw that the other party didn't move, a man and a wolf confronted each other like this, gradually, Yang Zheng calmed down, a little enlightened, tentatively took a step forward, and found that the wolf retreated a little, Yang Zheng was bold, bent down, and prepared to pick up some dry firewood to burn the fire.
Suddenly, a fishy wind rushed over, and then, Yang Zheng felt something on his shoulder, frightened, his face turned pale, and he instinctively grabbed his backhand in a panic, and he didn't know what he caught.
"Poof-" With a sound, the mountain knife grabbed by the other hand stabbed down hard, his mind was blank, all by instinct, he felt that something had been pierced, and the strange sound made Yang Zheng's nervous heart rise to his throat, and the blood in his whole body seemed to coagulate, and he retreated in a panic.
"Whoa—" Ahead, the wild wolf suddenly roared, with some grief and unwillingness.
Yang Zheng stared nervously ahead, and suddenly found that it was a wild wolf that was pierced by himself just now, not dead, his abdomen was disemboweled, blood was surging, he struggled desperately on the ground, and let out a whining roar.
"So cunning?!" Yang Zheng was secretly frightened, glad for the instinctive reaction just now, fortunately he didn't look back, otherwise he was bitten by a wild wolf in the neck, and he would definitely die, a wave of anger surged up, perhaps because he killed a wild wolf, Yang Zheng was bold, clenched the mountain knife and took a few steps forward, and roared: "Come on, there is a kind of bite me." ”
The wild wolf hiding in the night whimpered, full of unwillingness, and did not leave, at this moment, Yang Zheng lost the panic and nervousness just now, stared at the wild wolf in front of him, and did not retreat.
"Brother, are you okay? Come on. Ah Mei's voice suddenly came, revealing a deep worry.
