Chapter 21: The Shadow of the Anaconda
In Tao Yuan's heart, Peter was not afraid at all, what he was really worried about, or what he wanted to know, was what was behind Peter.
Therefore, he guessed that Peter's purpose was to plunge everyone into the fog, so it must be right to stop it himself, forcing that thing to appear.
As for whether he can do it after being forced out, Tao Yuan didn't think about this kind of thing, because being killed by that thing or killing it himself is a very good choice.
Sado grinned at the piece of wood on which it was written, and turned his head to Peter;
"Hey, he can't do this, this cave is not his. ”
Peter stared at the words of the idler, and then looked at Tao Yuan, who was holding a knife to remove his nails, and whispered:
"That's... Do you have any great ideas?"
Sado whispered:
"There are a lot of us, ignore him, go in collectively and see what he can do, you also said, Tao Yuan is just a person who is a little stronger than us and knows a little bit of fighting skills, why should we be afraid?"
Peter looked at Sado, and said angrily:
"Who's going first?"
Sado was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Belich, and said:
"How about a few of us walking in together, before and after?"
Belic was silent for a moment, shook his head and said:
"No, the reason is not with us, it is that we are going to execute or expel him, and now that this is his home, we have no reason to occupy the magpie's nest, it is a robber's act. ”
Peter shrugged his shoulders and turned his head and said:
"Guys, hurry up and build shelters, the rain is coming!"
Obviously, Peter, like Belich, completely chose to give up reasoning with Tao Yuan.
Jiri hurriedly led the men to get busy, picking up the broadleaves he had picked up earlier, and using the easily broken branches of the bushes combined with the large rocks by the waterhole to build a small, low shelter.
In such a space, people can only squat in.
There was a thunderclap of thunder, and the mountain wind poured into the ravine, making a strange whining sound.
People began to burrow into shelters, preparing for what was destined to be a sad night.
Robert didn't try to walk into the cave with Rose because of the deal with Tao Yuan, because at a certain moment, he saw Tao Yuan secretly shaking his head at him, so he obediently carried Rose into the low and tight space.
It was Ellie, the big girl standing in front of the cave, looking at Tao Yuan.
She is a little angry now, because Tao Yuan has not looked at herself so far, and she has not invited herself to the cave to shelter from the rain and wind, and at the same time she is still a little lost, because Tao Yuan walked in front of them, which proves that Tao Yuan did not see his message on the stone wall, so his hand has not worn out such a large piece of skin in vain, especially the peach heart that he painted so upright, it is a waste.
"Ellie, come in quickly, it's going to rain soon!"
Laura shouted at the door of the shelter.
Their shelter was right at the entrance of the cave where Tao Yuan was, and they could even see the warm bonfire dancing.
Tao Yuan looked at Ai Lijie who was pouting on the stone, slowly stretched out his palm, and used the index finger of his other hand to make a writing motion on the palm, and then pointed to his eyes.
The pouting Ellie Jie immediately laughed, because it was Tao Yuan who told him that he had seen those portrayed messages.
Tao Yuan saw that Ellijie suddenly changed from puffing up to smiling brightly, and the change was so fast that it was really not as good as the wind and rain in the mountains.
"Strange, if she doesn't laugh, I haven't noticed it, the lines and muscle texture of Ellie's face prove that this should be a girl who loves to laugh and grew up in a happy environment, but why did I see her quiet and melancholy?"
For those who have studied facial expressions and muscle anatomy, Tao Yuan can easily judge a person's original personality and general living environment.
Ellie pointed to her heart, and then to the cave.
Tao Yuan shook his head and pointed upward.
Ellie was puzzled, looking at the top of the waterfall, she couldn't help but be surprised, the dark clouds had covered the sky, the sky was like dusk, but there was still a faint seven-colored halo on the waterfall.
There was no sunshine, but there was a rainbow, which couldn't help but surprise her.
"Strange rainbow light, Tao Yuan won't let me go to the cave, there must be some reason, it's just that it's inconvenient to say now, hum, I must be afraid that Peter will hear it, this annoying Peter. ”
Tao Yuan didn't say anything more, and pointed to the shelter.
Ellie Jie herself didn't understand why she was so obedient, and when she saw Tao Yuan pointing to the shelter, she immediately became happy and got into it.
The real night began to fall, and with it raging winds and pouring rain.
The thunder resounded through the valley and came and went, as if the thunder had never stopped.
However, on such a gloomy and rainy night, the ravine was not invisible.
Not only because there is a big bonfire in the cave opposite the shelter, but also because above the waterfall, there is a glowing mist of colorful colors, although faint, but in this dark night, the effect is extraordinary.
Peter squeezed Ellie into it, sat at the entrance of the cave by himself, and didn't care that half of his body was wet by the rain that came in obliquely, and looked coldly at Tao Yuan in the cave, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
However, it seemed that his expression was not anxious, but with a hint of anticipation.
Tao Yuan felt Peter's eyes, after all, the distance between the two was only seven or eight meters.
Instead of looking back, he threaded a piece of wood through an animal that had been shaved and the size of a suckling pig and grilled it over a fire.
Within three minutes, the smell of meat filled the ravine, causing the sound of "gurgling" in the narrow shelter to stop.
They were so hungry that they had not eaten all day and had to walk, and now they had no place to sleep, so they had to squat and suffer.
So, the moment he smelled the meat, Sado cried.
"Woo, damn the company let me go on a business trip on vacation, woo, if it's at home, I've already eaten delicious chicken curry, woo, I think Tao Yuan is really good, with him, it seems that we won't starve." ”
Green bared his white teeth, looked at Sado and shouted:
"Man, please stop talking, my stomach can't stand it, don't say it, oh my God, I want to sleep, I'll lie down, any of you can sit on me, lie on me, just let me straighten my legs. ”
A group of people were crushed by the smell of meat wafting from Tao Yuan.
Rose curled up in Robert's arms and muttered:
"Dad, I want meat. ”
Robert looked at the heavy rain outside and said:
"After a while, when the rain stops, you can eat. ”
Rose shook her head and said:
"No, I'll ask for it myself now, Uncle Tao will give it to me. ”
Robert glanced at the mist on the top of the waterfall, turned around and kissed Rose's face, and whispered:
"Not yet, you have to wait a while, your Uncle Tao should have something to do. ”
As he spoke, he heard the untidy exclamations of the crowd coming from inside the shelter.
All eyes were on the waterfall.
Robert looked up and saw a long black shadow twisting and writhing under the seven-colored mist, like a giant python crawling in a vertical waterfall......
