Chapter Thirty-Six: The Return
The scrivener is awakened by the heat, and the noon sun is scorching the wet rainforest, the water vapor is steaming, and the lower layer of the rainforest is like a big steamer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info tree hole is even more stuffy and unbearable, if it is not for the extreme sleepiness, I am afraid I will not be able to stand it for a long time. When he woke up, he was covered in sweat, his cells were weakened due to lack of water, and he was groggy. Heat stroke! He hurriedly removed the stones that had blocked the entrance to the cave.
A hot and humid air rushed into his face, and the scrivener came out of the hole with a gun. Outside, there was silence, and all the animals hibernated, hiding in low-lying areas or in the water to fight the heat. There were patches of blood scattered on the ground, and there was a strong smell of blood, and fleshy fur could be seen in the corners, indicating the unrest of last night.
The scrivener was bathed in the pond, and the clothes were hung on the branches to dry. Rena also woke up, her wet body was covered with beads of sweat, strands of long blonde hair stuck to her fair back, she burrowed into the pool and splashed, her long wet hair pulled up to the back of her head to reveal her delicate features. The scrivener reminded her to hurry up, this is not a good place to stay for a long time. He himself cut down some thick and thin branches and made them into a simple raft.
The clothes dried in less than ten minutes, and Rena dressed up and packed up the contents of the tree hole. The raft for the scrivener has been made. The two stepped on a raft and swam on the water.
Heavy rains turn the low-lying areas of Savage Mountain into one lake after another, with waterways in between, and a raft ride is a wise choice. The scrivener supported the raft with slender branches, slowly moving westward. From time to time, the highlands on both sides of the river are popped up with various animals, including wild deer, pheasants, wolves, and even black bears and wild boars. They are intrigued by the rafts that swim in the water, staring through the bushes at their every move on the surface.
Rena was on guard with her gun. It's not uncommon for wolves to be able to swim, and if that pack keeps tailgating, it's probably going to be in big trouble.
The raft swims to the wide part of the water surface is the most reassuring time for the two, the raft is tens or even hundreds of meters away from the shore, the water surface is unobstructed, and anything that comes close will be discovered. Tense nerves are temporarily relieved.
"Dai, isn't it good that we stay in the mountains forever?" Rena bent over the clear water, as if serious and joking.
The scrivener was speechless, he didn't want to live a life without fighting, but the reality told him that he couldn't. Little Monkey and Gong Daniu are still waiting for the news of their return, and they can't let them down. It was he who brought them to India on this road, and since they have chosen this road, they will go to the end.
For two days in a row, the raft drifted on the water of varying widths and narrows. The waters of Savage Mountain come and go as fast as they come, and the water flows down the low-lying places into the river, roaring away. As the flood waters receded, there was no longer a connection between the surface of the water, and the use of rafts became less and less. The two began to walk forward.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, the flood has basically receded, and the reckless Savage Mountain has returned to its original appearance. After the flood, the weeds grew a lot, and people walked in like a small fish shuttling through the boundless aquatic weeds. The two of them did not walk very fast, and could only walk ten to twenty kilometers a day. It's not a straight distance, and sometimes it takes more than half a day to go around a mountain.
After a few days of arduous trekking, the scrivener felt almost there, and it should be very close to the place where I was separated from my friends. He was no longer in a hurry and began to look around with Rena for the secret mark left behind. The search range has been expanded from one to five kilometers. This is a difficult process, although there are a lot of secret memories left at the beginning, but it is still too small compared to the vast Savage Mountain, which is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, but it is the difference between fishing for one needle and fishing for ten needles.
Near noon, Rena finally made a discovery: "Dai, look here! She shouted excitedly.
When I looked at the scrivener, the bark of a large tree had been cut off, and the blade was pointing northwest. He was overjoyed, the secret memory was finally found, the traces of the blade were very familiar, and there was no doubt that they had left it by himself. Even if you find only one place, it is extremely significant, and it means that you are on the right path.
The scrivener and Rena didn't care about resting, and supported each other all the way down to the northwest. In the evening, I came to a small river, and the trunk of the tree by the river was also marked, which meant that it was not far from my teammates. The two were a little excited, back, really back! I can't believe it.
Gurgling...... Gurgling...... The scrivener put its finger in its mouth and let out a few cuckoo chirps.
Mutter...... Mutter...... There was a response in the distance.
"It's a little monkey!" The scrivener is overjoyed, this kid's injury heals quickly. The little monkey is safe and sound, and the scrivener solves a piece of heart disease. The footsteps are faster.
"Company Commander......" A thin figure in the bushes ran out, hugging the scrivener box and not letting go.
The scrivener slapped the little monkey's head hard, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but he couldn't say it when he opened his mouth. There was warm liquid rolling in the eye sockets, almost dripping. He held back, looking up at the sky to keep the liquid from dripping.
A few people walked out of the bushes, Lu Shuting, Gong Daniu, Kong Zhaoqiang, and Zhao Yunlai were all there.
Everyone is here, the injuries of Little Monkey and Zhao Yunlai are much better, and he and Rena have returned safely, and there is no better ending than this. The scrivener has an urge to yell a few times. Considering the identity of the company commander, he couldn't help it.
"Acting Company Commander, it's a pleasure for you to come back." Kong Zhaoqiang held the hand of the scrivener tightly.
"Old generation, it's good to come back! The brethren were worried about death. Zhao Yunlai also shook his hand.
"Haha, old generation, good job!" Gong Daniu shouted in a loud voice to congratulate.
Lu Shuting patted the shoulder of the scrivener, "Old generation, it's surprising that you came back alive, but I like it." ”
The scrivener held the hand that was patted on his shoulder, "Lao Lu, thank you, you are still waiting for me here, which also surprises me, but I also like it." He was telling the truth, half a month had passed, and it was understandable for Lu Shuting to leave even if he took the brothers, but he didn't, and he was still waiting here.
"Okay, okay, this is not the place to talk, let's go back." Kong Zhaoqiang beckoned everyone to go back, and what he said about going back was actually going back to the camp.
Everyone prepared a sumptuous dinner for the scrivener and Reina, and opened six cans of canned beef at once. These days, Lu Shuting, Gong Daniu and others have been saving money, and canned meat has basically been saved, and they are ready to use it again at critical moments. Today, in order to celebrate, an exception was opened.
On this night, everyone almost stayed awake all night, happy, with the excitement of reunion after a long absence, and the joy of recovering from a serious illness. The scrivener box and Rena returned safely, and the little monkey and Zhao Yunlai walked back from the line of death, each of which is worth celebrating.
