Chapter 14: Out of the Forest
After passing through the peach grove in front of the cave, he got up and reached the mouth of the cave, which was the only way to the outside, and looked back at the village where he had been raised, and put his hand into the hole that looked like a curtain of water, and I would definitely come back as soon as possible, I thought to myself.
It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like only a moment, and I passed through the mouth of the cave, and the first thing I saw was a large lake in front of me, and around the lake were peach trees that grew the same as in the village.
Looking back, he looked very strangely at the hole he had just passed through was slowly turning into a stone wall, stretched out his hand, the hole stopped changing, and his hand could pass through the hole that had become a stone wall normally, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't see any principle, but he remembered the location of the hole, he was afraid that he wouldn't find it when he came back, so he turned around and walked towards the forest behind the lake.
The forest is very large, it is easy to get lost, fortunately in the Nine Heavens Tata learned to look at the direction of the growth of the branches to discern the direction, there are many mosquitoes in the forest, Qi found some herbs, can repel mosquitoes, smear the herbs on the body and face, look at the direction and go to the east.
There are all kinds of wild beasts living in the forest, it was the first time he saw these animals, he was very interested, he chased a lynx for a while, and caught a snake to play with for a while, and on the way out of the forest, he basically caught all the animals that could be caught and carefully observed, of course, many of them tried to resist, but they were all roasted and eaten, and those that could not be eaten were made into jerky and packed into the baggage of qi.
After walking for a month, he finally saw the edge of the deep forest, next to the deep forest is a grassland, he looked at the cloth strip on his body, it was clothes, he didn't pay attention to hanging rotten when chasing animals, smelled his body, a sour smell went straight to his nose, he hadn't taken a bath for so long, he felt that he had to find a place to take a bath first.
Fortunately, I didn't look for long, there was a stream at the intersection of the deep forest and the grassland, and I put the burden aside, but fortunately the burden was not broken, probably because it had been wrapped around my back.
After drinking a sip of water, and then washing his face, he didn't jump into the water in a hurry, but first washed his halberd and short sword, the long halberd has always been on his back when passing through the deep forest, only in some narrow places he will carry the halberd in his hand, but the short sword has always been held in his hand, used to cut through thorns, speaking, it is thanks to this short sword that he can come out of the deep forest so quickly.
After washing the stains on the short sword and the blood stains left by killing the beast, he found that there was a small gap in the sword, I don't know when it broke, and he didn't throw the sword away, ready to keep it as a souvenir.
After the baggage was washed, I realized that she had forgotten to bring a change of clothes to come out, should I still wear these strips of cloth? I'm in distress.
Fortunately, it was the kind of optimist, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't find a solution, so he accepted the result of wearing strips of cloth.
After taking the scattered dried meat to a large stone to dry, and after looking around to make sure that no one else was there, he jumped into the stream with his clothes on.
After washing for half an hour, and making sure that there was no smell or fleas on his body and clothes, he got up from the creek, and what he didn't know was that the villagers downstream of the creek did not dare to drink the water in the stream for two days in a row.
After taking a bath, he made sure that there was no one around, so he took off his torn clothes and hung them on his halberd to dry, and he himself found a hidden place to lie on the grass and sleep.
When he woke up, it was already the middle of the night, after putting on the dried leather cloth strips, he took the baggage and prepared to pack up the jerky and continue to set off, he planned to go to the capital of Qin Mu Kingdom, he felt that he should be able to find his father there, no reason, he just thought that the city was bigger, the more people there were, and the more people there were, the greater the possibility of finding his father.
When I came to the stone where the dried meat was dry, I found that there were a few pieces of dried meat, I searched carefully, and found a white puppy in the grass next to the stone, the puppy was very thin, and I could see the bones under the skin, I should have been hungry for a long time, and his stomach was swollen, it should be this guy who stole my rations, and looked at the "thief" who was still asleep.
Walked over and lifted the back of the puppy's neck, and looked at it like this, the puppy was first caught and unconsciously barked at Qi viciously, as if it was his anger after his dream was destroyed, and when the puppy opened his eyes, he looked at the one in front of him, as if he realized that he had stolen something from others, and then let out a pitiful whimper, his eyes were full of pity, and his four feet were still paddling, as if begging for forgiveness.
"You're so bold!" He pretended to be vicious and said to the little white dog in his hand, although he knew that the little dog could not understand him, but he still said that he had not spoken for more than a month, and he was looking for it to relieve his boredom.
"Do you know what kind of meat my jerky is made of? Tell you, don't be scared, there is tiger meat, wolf meat, wild boar meat in it, and if they are still alive, they can bite you into slag. Continuing to scare the puppy in his hand, watching its body tremble, he felt that he had done too much, and his face softened a little and said to the puppy: "What about your parents?" Go and call them, and I will ask them to pay for my flesh. ”
"Look at you so thin, are you like me without a father or mother?" Just asked the puppy parents to pay for their own meat, and then asked the puppy.
"Forget it, look at you pitiful, I'll let you go today." As he spoke, he gently returned the dog in his hand to the grass: "I won't compensate you for playing, I'm going to find my father, and you should go to your father and mother quickly." ”
After saying that, he put the rest of the jerky on the stone back into the baggage, and was about to leave, when he looked at the poor little white dog on the grass, as if he had thought of something, opened the baggage, took out half of the jerky, piled it in front of the puppy, and then turned around without saying anything and prepared to leave.
"Ahh Ahh ”
As soon as he took two steps, the pitiful bark of the puppy sounded after he was born, and he turned around and looked at the poor puppy squatting on the ground.
"Is it that both parents are dead? If I leave it here, if it encounters other beasts, it will die, shall I take it with me? Don't take it away? Or take it away? He looked at the little white dog squatting on the ground and thought in his heart.
"Eh, if you want to come with me, come over to me." Qi said to the puppy with a raised face, then crouched down and beckoned to it.
As if he understood what he was saying to himself, the dog had a distinctly happy expression on his face, and then ran to the up, and after a few steps, it stopped again.
"Aren't you coming?" Looking at the puppy that stopped running towards him, he thought that since he didn't follow, he was ready to leave for real.
