Chapter 400: Descending the Mountain

When Momo and I were about to go down the mountain, the ground shook violently, and the two of us suddenly didn't stand firm and fell to the ground. "What's going on, and the earthquake?" I said to myself. "Ah Liang, look there!" Momo pointed to the jet-black smoke in the distance. "Isn't that Li Wei's camp? What's wrong, Momo? I asked curiously, holding her and myself to the ground. There seems to be a fire in the black smoke! As soon as she said this, I began to pay attention, there was still a little spark in the black smoke, if the sparks could also spray so high, I thought, then Li Wei and the fire tools they used must be very huge, or, not Li Wei and them! But the main thing now is to confirm whether the shaking just now is an earthquake, if so, we will have to stay at the top of the mountain for a while, Momo and I are sitting on the ground, the sun is very strong, we plan to rest here first, the clothes in the closet

Not completely able to wear, some have been moldy, is at this moment to take the sun to dry, we on the way up the mountain, did not encounter fruit trees and other plants, more discouraged, because we carry not much food, only bamboo shoots, snake meat has been eaten yesterday, this is a primeval forest, there will be other prey with the presence of spotted leopards, we have not found other live animals along the way, only bird calls, according to the current conditions, unless I have Huang Yaoshi's magic powers, no

However, bird hunting is very difficult to achieve. The surroundings were washed by the rain, and no dry branches were found, and ignition became a problem, but Momo said very mischievously: Look, is that wardrobe dry, Ah Liang! "It's not good, it's someone else's stuff after all!" As I spoke, I had dragged the wardrobe out and started slamming the door with a stone axe, and the top of the hill shook again, and we hurried to the open again, and the aftershocks shook for a while. There was not much movement, and a single sock was burned, and there were bursts of black smoke from the nylon socks, although the wardrobe was made of wood. Now it's crispy, and soon I'll chop it up with a stone axe.

Some of the wood chips made a nest. I took a handful of dead leaves from under the tree, and slowly put them up, and the fire came up in seconds, and I set up the dismantled wood one by one into a hollow fire. The iron pot, Momo washed it with leaves, and the rust on it was difficult to remove, so I nested the tiny branches into a ball, and then the effect was better! After pouring two bamboo tubes of water and slowly boiling it, Momo and I sat next to the fire and waited for the water to boil.

It was also more pleasant to sit on the top of the mountain and watch the white clouds, and I lay directly on the ground. "If you go back to your sister, and Hei Zhuang, will they go back with us?" I hugged Momo and said. "I don't know, but you know your sister's personality!"

"Yes, I used to be your brother-in-law too!" I sighed, "What kind of person is my sister in your eyes?" Momo propped up her head and tilted her neck, looking at me with big eyes, Momo was still the innocent and lovely Momo. Your sister, she is an idealist, in her eyes, everything around her must be built according to her ideals, this is also the reason why we were once separated, I can't fulfill her wishes, after this trip to the sea, we decided to break up and live our own lives! "In the end, she is still just a little woman, what's wrong with little women having their own ideals, I also have them!" I smiled and kissed her on the forehead, "You are different, you can at least think from my point of view as you do now, you are brave and gentle, to be honest, I am still a little worried about whether your sister can get along well with Hei Zhuang, Hei Zhuang is an honest person, but often honest people will have very heavy evil thoughts in their hearts, I am not an honest person, but I have seen honest people erupt, your old sister has the same ......temper as the queen" I shook my head.

"Okay, the water is boiling, let's boil the bamboo shoots!" Momo put the washed bamboo shoots into the pot, and the boiling water calmed down at once.

I put the bamboo tube under the leaves and waited for the rain to fall on the trees, shook the two large trees, and even let me fill most of the buckets, and when I drank the soup, I drew a simple orientation map on the ground, facing the direction of the sun, and discerned the directions. After eating and resting, in the afternoon the sun shifted to the west. I still have the location of the two of them in my head, and if I go back the way I came, it would be a long way to go, and I found a route that I could go through, but in case I get lost in the process, I need to find a reference object that can't be too far away from the target location.

If you had a compass at this point, things would be much easier. Obviously, there is a red maple tree in the position of white smoke, yes, I compared the directions, in the southwest direction, there are many kinds of general field identification directions, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the moon and the Big Dipper, there is also a set of trees to observe, look at the density of the leaves, the position facing south faces the sun, our geographical location is in the southern hemisphere, this is the only thing I can be sure of, of course, there are annual rings, the wide side is facing north.

After Momo packed up her things, we went down the mountain. As the saying goes, it's easier to go up the mountain and harder to get down, but that's relative. With a backpack, walking is a lot easier. Another reason was that we didn't encounter fruit trees or animals along the way. If you start anew, you may have better luck.

After walking a distance, we really came across a wild jujube tree, cyan and red are connected, growing relatively full, but I don't know how it tastes, generally speaking, wild jujube trees are easy to be bitten by insects, but it is obvious that this tree grows magically very well, and the leaves are also fat green color, indicating that the growth is very healthy. I hurriedly picked two and ate them in my mouth, crispy and sweet, with relish, and gave Momo a one that she also ate with relish. Ignoring the pain of being stabbed in my hand, I packed most of my bag with my clothes, and then I hit the road, and with it, walking is more secure!

As I was continuing to walk forward, suddenly there were several black figures in front of me, and the leaves under my feet were trampled on the sizzling sound, I motioned for Momo to stop, and looked at several wild boars. There are also two snow-white fangs at the corners of his mouth. Momo was startled and motioned for me to go back. Wild boar should be the most nutritious meat, and I won't let go of this opportunity. I gently patted the back of Momo's hand, signaled her not to be nervous, and whispered, "We have meat to eat today!" "Don't make a fuss, it's a wild boar, we can't fight them!" It's dangerous! Momo stopped me.
