Chapter 67: Over the Woods
Aida's heart is ignorant. In her current world, there are only Crystal Grass Father and Little Tiger Brothers. Mother Ugg and Etta live in the Mammoth Valley, and with Mama Ugg's superhuman intelligence and the care of the leader of Reget, they will surely be doing well.
After crossing the glacier, crossing the ravine, filling her stomach here again, and resting for a long time, Aida was relaxed and in a good mood. There is talking, laughing, chattering.
Evati followed, only occasionally saying "um" or "yes", and as for what Aida had said, he didn't listen to a few words, but kept blaming himself in his heart for the presumptuous thoughts he shouldn't have.
"It looks like the woods up there aren't big, but hopefully we'll be able to walk through and find humans soon," Aida said. ”
Evati "hmm".
"Ivati, what's wrong with you?" Aida stopped, looked back at Eva and said, "You don't have a bad cold this time, are you not feeling well?" ”
Evati shook her head, came back to her senses, and hurriedly said, "No, no." I'm okay. I've been listening to you. ”
"Really?" Aida said, "What did I just say? ”
Evati replied, "You asked me if I was not feeling well. ”
"Not that. Previous sentence? ”
"Yes," Evati's eyes lit up, "you ask me what's wrong." ”
"That's not it. It's the previous sentence. ”
Evati didn't know what Aida had said in the last sentence. He had an idea: "Oh, you must have forgotten and tried to trap me, no way." I'm not fooled. ”
Evati said, walking briskly forward.
Aida hurriedly chased after her, but she didn't ask again, she was worried that she would be tired of asking Evati and everyone would be unhappy. However, she still didn't understand in her heart, did Aivati listen to her?
It is a forest that has been destroyed by strong winds or floods and formed within a hundred years. The taller trees are leaning in one direction.
Like other forests, pine and cypress trees are the mainstay, and occasionally poplar and mulberry trees can be seen, wild fruit trees, etc., and the shrubs are not dense, not the kind of dense clusters that make people unable to step on the ground and climb around the trees to make it difficult for people to move forward smoothly, but are clustered together, dense places, clustered, sparse, and only a handful. No matter how crooked and withered the trees are, as long as they are gathered together, they can be called forests. Just like when more than three people are together, they can be called people.
Because of the canopy, the sun's brilliance is weakened, the daylight hours are shortened, and the snow on the ground is thick and the skin is hard.
After Aida and the others entered, they did not cut through the thorns and thorns to open a new road, and picked a place where the rattan was scarce to detour.
Height is often not an absolute advantage. Fruit picking is based on height, and it can be obtained by raising your hand. It's not the same through the bushes, you can't just jump and trample, and hunched climbing is one of the easiest ways to save effort.
Fate and Hope, with the advantage of crawling, swished around the rattan space, disappearing in front for a while, and catching up from behind for a while, as if there were no vines, very freely.
Evati was always inattentive, and he tripped over the rattan under his feet, and found a tree whose fruit had not yet fallen, and got up and said, "Look, there is fruit in that tree." ”
Aida looked in the direction of Aiwati's finger, and sure enough, there was a tree with small red fruits hanging here and there, and said happily, "Let's go and pick it." ”
The tree is not tall, but it has thorns. Eva picked a few of them, and the back of her hand touched the thorns, drawing a small blood mark, and with a cry, she startled a few birds not far away.
Aida was also pricked, and she stuffed the fruit she was eating into her mouth, and her face immediately bulged out like a big bag. Simply smack the handle of a spear on a branch. Ivati still couldn't get enough of it, so she hugged the trunk and shook it vigorously. In the sound of hula tree branches colliding, the red fruits fell and fell on the snow, looking even more red and annoying.
The larger birds around them were startled by them, hovering overhead, quacking, as if to accuse them of grabbing and driving them away. Some of them hovered down with greater courage, very close to the top of their heads, and quacked with their long, sharp mouths open, frightening them and denouncing them.
Evati looked up, a little timid in his heart, and said, "These birds have long and pointed beaks, and they are not afraid of us, if they peck our eyes, they will be blind." ”
When Eva said this, Aida also became frightened and said, "Let's just pick up the ones on the ground and stop fighting." ”
The two teenagers plucked their pouches, squatted down, and talked while picking up the fruit on the ground; "Behold, these fruits have been pecked by birds, and the seals are new."
"Maybe they're flying so low to drive us away and protect our food."
After picking up a lot of fruits, the two teenagers put their bags on their backs and ate while walking, and then they remembered the little tiger brothers.
"Where did Xiaohu go?" Aida asked Evati.
Evati said, "I was about to ask you." ”
So, the two men bowed down, and as they walked, they shouted in different directions: "Fate-". "Hope-".
There was no answer. They are not to be seen.
"Let's look for their footprints first."
The two teenagers bent their waists and searched for them on the ground.
There are no footprints of the little tiger brothers around. It looks like they went elsewhere very early. Why didn't we pay attention?
Aida and Aivati had to go back and look for it.
Walking a few dozen meters back, they found the footprints of the little tiger brothers. So, following the footsteps of the plum blossoms that had been stepped on, I drilled through the bushes and rattans to look for them.
On the way, they passed by a few more fruit trees, and they were in no mood to stop picking a few to eat.
"Fate, hope, come quickly."
The two teenagers followed the footprints left by the little tiger brothers, and kept screaming, unable to distinguish the direction.
I don't know how many turns they have made and how many turns they have taken, but the little tiger brothers still only have footprints left behind, and they are nowhere to be seen.
A footprint is a line of text that records the path traveled. Footprints are an extension of hope. Where there are footprints, there is hope.
An eagle hovers in the sky not far away, spreading its wings, sometimes high and sometimes low, seemingly leisurely, but in fact it is seeking, discovering, looking for opportunities. There are no eyes that are seen farther by the eagle.
"Look, the eagle is hovering there, and the little tiger brothers may have caught prey." Aida became excited.
"They've grown. Sooner or later, they will leave us. Evati said.
The footprints of the Little Tiger Brothers are extending. The two teenagers followed the footsteps, stretching and shortening. They finally reached the area beneath the eagle's circle.
"Look, Brother Little Tiger is over there." It is worthy of being taken care of by himself. I have a soul. Aida first saw fate and hope.
"Where?" Evati asked anxiously. The head is spinning.
"Behind that tuft of vines." Aida said, pointing to her finger.
"I still haven't seen it."
"Come here, stand here and watch."
Evati stepped in front of Aida in a few steps, looked at Aida's finger, and sure enough, he saw the little tiger brothers. "They seem to have hunted a pig?" ”
"Look at the color of the fur, probably." Aida said, "Let's go, let's go." ”
The two teenagers passed, and before they could get close, the little tiger brothers came over to greet them with their mouths red with blood.
Aida screamed and stepped back: "Don't come here, you have blood in your mouths, and it will stain my clothes." ”
The excited little tiger brothers couldn't care about this, they drooped their ears and opened their mouths, and before they could get close, they started to rub their heads against Aida.
Aida retreated, tripped over the rattan, and lay on the ground.
Fate and Hope thought that their master was playing with them, and the excitement of eating the blood made them hurry over, scrambling to caress Aida on the face with their blood-stained mouths and faces.
Evati looked at it and giggled and said, "Love a few more times." The master misses you. ”
Aida slapped the brothers on the head, angry but reluctant to exert force. When he desperately got up, his face was covered with blood, like a devil.
Awati laughed with tears and a sore back. Said: "Aida, you look so vicious. ”
Aida wiped her hand on her face, took it to her eyes, and then put her bloodstained palm on her nose and sniffed it, laughing: "It stinks!" ”
Fate and hope are still unfinished, rubbing his head against Aida's legs.
Evati said happily and jealously: "Aida, don't think they are loving you, in fact, they are wiping their mouths." ”
Hearing Evati say this, Aida suddenly became angry, kicked in hope, and drank: "Get out!" ”
Hope was taken aback and quickly dodged.
Seeing that Aida was angry, fate taught her younger brother a lesson, and hurriedly stepped back, her ears shrugged and timidly looked at this beautiful hostess who rarely lost her temper, and thought, why? Why? for
Kicked in hope, discouraged, they nonchalantly returned to their prey.
Having no way of knowing why fate didn't, it licked its mouth, licked its nose a few more times, and went to hope.
Aida glared at Evati, silent, crouched down and grabbed the snow to wash her hands. The snow melted a little in his hand and fell to the ground, red and red, more eye-catching than the fruit he had just picked up.
After washing her hands, Aida held the snow in a ball with both hands and wiped it on the bloody spots on her pants.
After wiping the front one, Aida pulled the back of her pants, twisted her neck, and continued to scrub.
Aiwati looked at it, couldn't help it, gathered a piece of snow, and came over and said, "I'll help you wipe it." ”
Aida didn't say anything. Love to wipe not to rub.
Evati knelt behind Aida, and asked, "You say, with this smell of blood on your body, can you attract dire wolves?" ”
"I don't know. It's too late to recruit the dire wolf. ”
After all, it was a furry skin, and fate and hope just rubbed the blood on the hair, and it was wiped clean after a while. Aida was still not at ease, and asked Aivati to smell the blood herself, but Aivati didn't think much about it, knelt on the ground, sniffed and sniffed around Aida's pants.
Evati was tricked, but she didn't know it.
Aida covered her mouth and kept snickering.
Eva smelled it and said seriously: "Don't worry, you won't smell any fishy smell." ”
Aida laughed.
