Chapter 008: Through the Jungle
He Shannon opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
"We came to another world inexplicably, and we can't explain all this," Ye Feihua said, with a hint ......of sadness and helplessness in her tone.
"We ...... Can I go back? He Shannon looked at Ye Feihua, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and a trace of expectation.
"I don't know!" Ye Feihua shook her head weakly.
"So...... What should we do now? He Shannon continued to ask.
Ye Feihua shook her head vigorously, trying to calm herself down, and then said word by word: "Live!" ”
"That's right! Stay alive! We must live! He Shannon clenched his fists and said viciously.
"The stone chamber was built by man, and the reliefs on the walls were supposed to depict the world. Since there are human beings in this world, let's see what kind of world this is! Ye Feihua suddenly smiled.
After Ye Feihua finished speaking, she got up and walked into the cave, shook off a bundle of hay cut in the afternoon, spread it on the ground, and then lay down.
He Shannon also lay down.
In the firepit, from time to time, there was a slight "beep" sound of firewood cracking. The faint flames flickered and flickered, and the cave flickered and dimmed.
Ye Feihua and He Shannon soon fell asleep.
……
When the chirping of morning birds sounded in the jungle below the mountain, Ye Feihua and He Shannon woke up at the same time.
The two of them didn't say a word and went straight to busyness.
From the beginning of opening their eyes, Ye Feihua and He Shannon never said a word. Until breakfast was finished, the two of them were silent.
After resting for twenty minutes after breakfast, Ye Feihua finally spoke.
"The mountain we are on now should not be very far from the realm of human life. Yesterday at the top of the mountain, we saw signs of human activity in the east, and the small river at the bottom of the mountain also flowed along the terrain to the east. So, my first step was to follow the river and go all the way downstream, first to the periphery of the human area. It's a completely unfamiliar world, and we get to the periphery of the human activity area and then make a second step plan based on the actual situation. Ye Feihua said.
"Okay! That's it! He Shannon nodded.
Yesterday, Ye Feihua pulled out a lot of flowers and plants by the river, Ye Feihua picked out a few dark green grasses, put them on the stones and smashed them, mixed with the silt dug in the river bay, and made a dark green paste.
Previously, Ye Feihua and He Shannon had cut off their sleeves and made several bags. The two men put the bacon strips and other supplies into the bag, and then tied the bag to their bodies.
After that, Ye Feihua and He Shannon picked up the dark green paste with their fingers and wiped it off their faces and arms. It wasn't until they had applied the exposed skin all over their bodies that the two of them stopped.
Ye Feihua and He Shannon didn't say a word, holding the saber in one hand and the hardwood javelin in the other, and drilled out of the cave.
It was just dawning, and a thin layer of mist shrouded the jungle below.
Ye Feihua and He Shannon were like two agile apes, quietly descending the mountain and submerging into the mist in the jungle.
The jungle is full of towering ancient trees that are hugged by more than a dozen people, and the canopies of the trees are layered on top of each other, forming a sea of green.
Perhaps because it is difficult to see sunlight all year round, the shrubs in the jungle grow very sparsely.
Ye Feihua and He Shannon walked through the jungle, along the small river, and quickly advanced downstream.
……
A small river becomes a middle river, and a middle river becomes a big river.
Although it was hard to walk through the jungle, it was fortunate that Ye Feihua and He Shannon did not encounter any danger along the way.
……
At sunset on the fourth day, Ye Feihua and He Shannon followed the river to the west side of a long mountain range.
The mountain ridge runs north-south, and the river turns around the west side of the mountain, turns to the south, and then goes around the southern end of the mountain.
When Ye Feihua's gaze inadvertently swept across the river bay not far away, Ye Feihua suddenly paused.
"Rooster ...... Look over there. Ye Feihua shouted in a low voice.
He Shannon followed Ye Feihua's line of sight, and saw that there was nothing abnormal by the river bay except for two big trees, a few bushes, and three or five tree stumps.
However, He Shannon quickly reacted, and ran towards the river bend.
When he got closer, He Shannon circled several stumps in succession.
There are obvious signs of knife and axe felling on the stump, and the incision on one of the stumps is relatively fresh.
"Kitten, these stumps, haha......" He Shannon was excited.
Ye Feihua walked over cautiously.
Seeing the incision on the stump, a trace of excitement flashed in Ye Feihua's eyes.
However, Ye Feihua only glanced at the stump and then turned his gaze to the ground.
The soil along the river bend is moist and soft. Just around a few tree stumps, Ye Feihua found some shoe prints.
Ye Feihua forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart and slowly squatted down.
When Ye Feihua carefully studied the shoe prints on the ground, He Shannon did not forget his own work, holding a hardwood javelin in his left hand and the king of the jungle in his right hand, carefully guarding the surroundings.
Two minutes later, Ye Feihua stood up with a hint of joy on her face. In this completely unknown world, finally seeing the footprints left by humans really made Ye Feihua feel very excited.
However, when Ye Feihua saw He Shannon's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, Ye Feihua's brain calmed down in an instant. Even if there are human beings in this world, for Ye Feihua and He Shannon, the human beings in this world are strange, full of unknowns and dangers.
Ye Feihua and He Shannon became more careful, and the two of them carefully observed the surroundings, and then followed the footprints and walked forward.
The footprints disappeared when they reached the bottom of the ridge, and just where the footprints had disappeared, a path winded its way up to the ridge.
Ye Feihua and He Shannon didn't hesitate too much, and the two of them bent their waists and began to climb the mountain under the cover of shrubs.
Soon, Ye Feihua and He Shannon followed the path and climbed the mountain.
Strictly speaking, this mountain is not very tall, and it does not have the feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance. However, standing on the ridge and looking at it, Ye Feihua and He Shannon almost exclaimed.
In front of you is a huge river valley full of flowers and trees. The great river winds around the southernmost part of the mountain range like a jade belt, splitting the valley in two and meandering into the distance. In the middle of the river valley, on both sides of the jade belt-like river, lies a quaint town. That town is like a pearl strung on the jade belt, quiet and beautiful. Due to the distance between them, the details of the town do not seem to be very clear.
The town is surrounded by verdant fields. The fields are lined with patches of farmland. The farmland is filled with a wide variety of crops.
At this time, the sun was sinking in the west, and the entire river valley was shrouded in a golden light, and the crystal clear river water rippled with a golden halo. Everything is so gorgeous, so dreamlike.
Looking at this fantastic beauty, Ye Feihua and He Shannon couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Wonderland on earth, paradise!" After half a ring, He Shannon couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Ye Feihua did not speak. At this moment, Ye Feihua's mood was a little complicated. Because, after the initial surprise, Ye Feihua had to face a cruel reality. All this in front of me is like a fairyland, but this fairyland belongs to another world, and it has nothing to do with himself and He Shannon.
distant mountains, towns; Great river, wilderness; Green trees, flowers. Heaven and earth seem to unfold a magnificent picture.
Ye Feihua and He Shannon stood tall, and the two of them looked at the valley quietly, their eyes flickering incessantly.
"It seems...... It's time to make a plan for the second step. Ye Feihua said.
"You take the idea, I listen to you." He Shannon said in a deep voice.
"Now take a break, recharge your batteries, and go down the mountain at dusk. The smell was so bad that we went to the river to clean it up, then quietly touched it and lurked outside the town. When it gets completely dark, we infiltrate and try to get the information we need. Ye Feihua said.
"No problem!" He Shannon glanced down and sat down on the ground, then untied the bag, took out a piece of smoked venison, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it vigorously.
Ye Feihua sat aside, he picked up the bamboo tube and drank a few sips of water, and also took out a piece of smoked venison, chewing it in small bites.
At this moment, although they were still facing the unknown and danger, the nerves that Ye Feihua and He Shannon had been tense were somewhat relaxed. The two of them were fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and their demeanor unconsciously added a touch of leisure.
"No matter how fragrant the bacon is, if you eat too much, it will be greasy!" He Shannon suddenly sighed thoughtlessly.
"Really?" Ye Feihua smiled and said, "Let's go get some radish greens in the evening and change the taste......
As soon as the words fell, Ye Feihua suddenly lost her smile, and her mouth stuffed with smoked venison slowly stopped chewing.
He Shannon, who was biting on the smoked venison, also noticed something unusual. He Shannon spat out the strip of meat from his mouth with a "poof", then pulled out the king of the jungle with one hand, and picked up the hardwood javelin with the other.
