Chapter 2: Wonderland

Pulp was stunned, and after a while, he asked in disbelief, "Really?" ”

I said, "Homeless people never speak. ”

Juice said, "You...... Ever worked as an ophthalmologist? ”

I said, "If an ophthalmologist can't cure it, I can." ”

Pulp said, "How do you cure it?" ”

I said, "I found a kind of flower by the lake, called the Crying Flower......

"Withered grass? ”

I said, "No, it's a cry of weeping." It's called a weeping flower because it gives birth to dew on its own in the morning, which is strange......"

"And then?" ”

I said, "I have heard a saying that every morning when the sun is just turning red, wipe the eyes of a blind man with the dew of a weeping flower, and for 7749 days, there is a 1 in 10,000 hope of regaining his sight. We must not stop, otherwise we will lose all our efforts. ”

Pulp lowered her head and didn't speak.

I looked at her and asked, "Aren't you happy?" ”

Pulp suddenly looked up at me, and said, "The sun is fake." ”

I was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Pulp sighed and said, "Don't lie to me, I've read your story, it's called "The Sun is Fake". There was a girl who was blind, and a man wiped her eyes with crying flowers every day, and he was lying to her, he just wanted to give her hope......"

I was silent for a moment and said, "Where did the novel come from?" ”

Pulp said, "Your brain." ”

I said, "Wrong, it comes from life." I really heard that before I wrote that novel. ”

Pulp was skeptical again: "Are you telling the truth?" ”

I said, "Absolutely." ”

"Have you really seen that kind of grass by the lake?" ”

I said, "It's all over the place, and it's mixed with the reeds." ”

Then, as in the novel, I asked her, "Would you like to try it?" ”

Pulp thought for a moment and nodded obediently.

I've seen small wild chrysanthemums in the reeds, and chrysanthemums contain lutein, which is known to be good for the eyes, and that's it.

After the Sun Tomb collapsed, Bai Xinxin, Zhang Hui, and Guo Mei ran forward along the pitch-black passage. They don't know what awaits them, only that there is no turning back.

Bai Xinxin ran at the front, Guo Mei followed him, and Zhang Hui ran at the end.

In terms of speed, Bai Xinxin couldn't run back to Zhang Hui, Zhang Hui deliberately let Guo Mei run between two men, that was to protect her. In that uncertain situation, Zhang Hui still hasn't forgotten what a man should do.

They seemed to be going well, only to see another turnaround passage in the middle, somewhat similar to the structure of the "Y". Bai Xinxin stopped and looked back at Zhang Hui, Zhang Hui pointed ahead, Bai Xinxin hesitated and continued to walk forward.

In total, they walked in the passage for more than half an hour, and before the gas cylinders were used up, they saw the light. This certainly does not bode well.

Zhang Hui regretted it, he felt that he had just chosen the wrong path. Lop Nur is vast, and it is impossible to come out so quickly.

After seeing the bright light, Bai Xinxin stopped again and looked back at Zhang Hui.

Seeing the way to live, this scumbag ran the fastest. Seeing the danger, he was the first to flinch.

Zhang Hui walked past him, looked ahead, then turned off the flashlight and walked over slowly.

Guo Mei also wanted to walk over, but was caught by Bai Xinxin, he was wearing a mask, he couldn't speak, he just shook his head at Guo Mei, Guo Mei stopped, and the two of them looked forward together.

Zhang Hui climbed up from the exit, and after a while, Bai Xinxin and Guo Mei heard his voice: "Come here!" ”

Bai Xinxin didn't move.

After Guo Mei walked over, he began to move his steps.

When they crawled out of the exit, they were dumbfounded - it was a green world outside! They saw dense woods, poplars with eye patterns, birches with white skin, oak trees with cracked bark......

The ground was covered with a thick blanket of grass, which smelled of fresh grass and the smell of decay of dead leaves.

There are even birds and flowers all around.

All three were stunned.

Guo Mei said: "How can there be a forest ......?"

Zhang Hui said: "This is not a forest, it is a forest!" ”

Guo Mei said: "Is there any difference? ”

Zhang Hui said: "If it was a forest, we would not be able to go out. ”

Guo Mei said: "How do you know it's a forest? ”

Zhang Hui said: "You see how thick these trees are, and they are all straight. Only a tree in the forest would be so straight. ”

Guo Mei said: "Why? ”

Zhang Hui said, "Haven't you studied biology class? There are many trees in the forest, there is no ventilation, and there is not enough sunlight, and all the trees are scrambling to grow upwards to grab the sun. If it doesn't grow quickly, it will die, which is called natural pruning. ”

Guo Mei said: "How can there be a forest in Lop Nur? ”

Zhang Hui said: "It's strange that only the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang have primeval forests......"

Bai Xinxin threw down the gas cylinder and said, "Nonsense! We're in Fujian! ”

With that, he was already walking forward.

Zhang Hui said: "Bai Xinxin, where are you going?" ”

Bai Xinxin said without looking back: "Find a way!" ”

Zhang Hui and Guo Mei looked at each other, put down the gas cylinder, and followed.

Guo Mei said: "We really went to Fujian? ”

Zhang Hui said: "The devil knows. Did you bring a scarf? ”

Guo Mei said: "What are you doing? ”

Zhang Hui said, "Make a mark for me." ”

Guo Mei stopped, took out a red scarf from her backpack, and handed it to Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui tore the scarf into many strips, and tied one on the tree after walking out of the road.

Guo Mei said, "Are you still planning to come back?" ”

Zhang Hui looked around and whispered, "I feel that this forest is the same as Wu Cheng, it is a scam." If we find something wrong with this place, of course come back. ”

Guo Mei said: "Back to that passage? The entrance has collapsed, and going back is a dead end. ”

Zhang Hui said: "That's also a way out." ”

The three of them walked and walked, Bai Xinxin stopped and said, "You guys didn't bring any guys?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "I didn't bring it." ”

Bai Xinxin said: "What if I encounter a bear or a wolf? ”

Zhang Hui said: "Climb the tree." ”

Guo Mei was anxious: "I can't climb trees!" ”

Zhang Hui said: "Then you can only give them food, they will leave after they are full, and Bai Xinxin and I will be rescued." ”

Guo Mei said: "Two brothers, you have to protect the girls!" ”

Zhang Hui said: "Come, I'll teach you - if a beast really comes, you tie two shoelaces together, leaving a little distance in between......" He said as he tied his own shoelaces, jumped in front of a poplar tree, and demonstrated to Guo Mei: "Look, when climbing a tree, you jam your shoelaces on the trunk to increase resistance, and then pull up and ......"

Sure enough, he "brushed" and climbed to a high level, and then jumped down.

Guo Mei said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do ......"

Zhang Hui said: "When the beast chases you, you will do it." ”

Then, Zhang Hui walked in front.

After walking out of the road again, the trees became denser and denser, overgrown with weeds, and Zhang Hui cut through thorns in front of him, and his hands were broken. There are all kinds of flying insects flying "buzzing" in the air, and they can't be driven away.

Guo Mei said: "Can you discern the direction now? ”

Zhang Hui pointed to the leaves on his head and said, "It's very simple, you see, which side is dense with foliage and which side is south." ”

Guo Mei said: "It's good to have a direction, we have been walking south." ”

Zhang Hui said, "What if we happen to be on the north side of the forest? ”

Guo Mei said: "Then where are we going?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "The most important thing at the moment is to find a water source. ”

Guo Mei said: "How to find water? ”

Zhang Hui said: "I have learned some methods on the Internet, but I don't know if it works, for example, the Internet says that there must be a water source near the place where there is an ant nest. Also, if you look at the roots of the plants, there must be a water source in the dense direction. It would be better if you could see the quails, they fly in the direction of the water in the evening, and fly in the direction of the water in the early morning......"

Suddenly, a howl came from very close, as if a bear was blocking its way: "Woohoo! ——”

Zhang Hui stopped talking for a while.

The birds in the trees flew up all at once, and the leaves made a "rattle" sound.

Bai Xinxin turned around and ran.

Guo Mei shouted tremblingly: "Chapter back! ……”

Zhang turned his head to see that Guo Mei was standing in place, without any move.

He walked over quickly, tied the laces of her travel shoes in two strokes, and whispered as he looked back nervously, "You climb the tree!" ”

Guo Mei threw herself in front of a very thin birch tree and climbed up clumsily.

A hairy thing came out of the grass, and sure enough, it was a bear! It was not beautiful at all, it was generally black, but mixed with brownish-red hair, uneven length, unkempt, and dirty. It had a fat body, but a thin face, and sunken eye sockets, like a witch without eyebrows. It stared at Zhang Hui and walked over step by step.

Zhang Hui stared at it while pushing Guo Mei upwards.

Guo Mei cried and desperately climbed up, and the birch tree shook.

When Guo Mei climbed to a height of two meters, the bear had already walked to Zhang Hui, and Zhang Hui didn't have time to run, he stood quietly and looked at the bear.

The bear stopped, its eyes flashing with the light of an alien that didn't communicate with humans.

Man and bear face off.

After about half a minute, the bear squirmed back, burrowed into the grass on one side, and walked away.

Zhang Hui leaned on the tree and slowly sat down on the grass.

Looking at Bai Xinxin again, he climbed a poplar tree, pouted his buttocks, and clutched the trunk, which was only one meter above the ground.

Guo Mei still stayed on the birch tree, not daring to come down.

After more than ten minutes, Bai Xinxin jumped onto the grass. To be precise, he couldn't catch it and fell.

Zhang Hui slowly stood up, looked up, and said, "Guo Mei, come down." ”

Guo Mei just slipped down a little bit, she hugged Zhang Hui, cried and said, "You fool, why don't you run!" ”

Zhang Hui said: "I'm already scared stupid, I won't run." ”

Bai Xinxin whispered: "Actually, bears generally don't attack people......

Zhang Hui looked at him and said, "You are so knowledgeable, tell me earlier, so that I am not so afraid." Alright, let's go. ”

With that, he got up and left.

Guo Mei was just about to take a step when she fell to the ground with a "plop".

Zhang turned his head and smiled: "I knew you would fall." ”

Guo Mei sat sideways on the grass, rubbing her buttocks and saying, "Then you didn't say it earlier!" ”

Zhang Hui squatted down and helped her untie her shoes: "Alas, you are as stupid as a burlesque, can you get out of this forest...... Worry. ”

Guo Mei said: "If you can go out, I can go out!" ”

Zhang Hui said: "Yes, I carried you out." ”

The three of them continued to walk forward.

The trees are towering, and sunlight passes through the gaps in the leaves, leaving light and dark shadows on the grass cover. By this time, the sun was already in the west.

Guo Mei said: "What should I do after dark? We don't have tents, where do we sleep? ”

Zhang Hui said: "God will bless us and find a forest farm or something." ”

Guo Mei said: "What if you can't find it? ”

Zhang Hui said: "Then we will build a house out of wood, and then live down, have children in this forest, and live." ”

Guo Mei said: "You...... Who do you have children with? ”

Zhang Hui said: "Snow White." ”

Guo Mei said: "When the time comes, you will introduce her husband to me." ”

Zhang Hui said, "I'll try." ”

Bai Xinxin suddenly said: "I have a way!" ”

Zhang Hui said, "What did you say? ”

Bai Xinxin said: "Such a big forest, there must be forest police guarding it, right?" But we can't find them, can we? We can send a signal for them to find us! ”

Zhang Hui said: "How do you send a signal? Singing the letter to the sky? ”

Bai Xinxin said: "Maybe, we can light a fire......"

Zhang Hui said: "Big brother, do you repeat it again? ”

Bai Xinxin said: "As long as the forest is on fire, they will arrive in a helicopter immediately!" ”

Zhang Hui looked at Bai Xinxin for a long time before saying, "Are you serious?" ”

Bai Xinxin said: "Of course it's serious! ”

Zhang Hui said: "I'll give you Pupupu, okay?" Articles 114 and 115 of the Criminal Code stipulate that arson in a forest, with serious consequences, can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or even death! ”

Bai Xinxin muttered, "I don't need a prison escape to give me the law." I'm not setting fires, I'm asking for help! ”

Zhang Hui said, "You will burn us." ”

Bai Xinxin said: "After lighting the fire, we ran against the wind, and it was fine." ”

Zhang Hui said: "The wind direction has changed? That fire spreads 1 km in 1 minute, can you outrun it? ”

Bai Xinxin said: "If you don't agree, let's go our separate ways." ”

Zhang Hui looked at Guo Mei: "Who are you going with?" ”

Guo Mei hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll follow you." ”

Zhang Hui pulled her and strode forward.

Bai Xinxin rummaged in her pocket, and then shouted to Zhang Hui: "Hey, you leave me your lighter." ”

Zhang turned his head to look at him and said, "Impossible." ”

Bai Xinxin walked over and stopped Zhang Hui: "Then you can't go." ”

Zhang Hui squinted at Bai Xinxin, and said for a long time: "You want to rob?" ”

Bai Xinxin said: "I'm just borrowing a fire. ”

Zhang Hui suddenly smashed a punch into Bai Xinxin's face, Bai Xinxin took a few steps back, and actually fell to the ground.

Guo Mei shouted: "Don't fight! There's a house over there! ”

Zhang Hui followed her finger and looked over, and sure enough, there was an open space next to her, revealing a corner of the wooden house.
