09. Stumbling blocks
I used to think that I could rest in this hellish place for a while, at least there were no crocodile people here, no monsters with three heads, and no fluttering moths that were shouting to take me and Xiao Nan away as fertilizer, but now it seems that ......
At least those weird guys can still talk, at least communicate normally, and what about here?
There's only one giant spider, and according to my opinion, it's best if we can get along with this big one, but when I use it as a passerby, it wants to eat me.
Now it seems that this place is destined to be unsafe, not to mention whether this cocooning fire can burn it to death, the ghost knows if there is still this guy's kind here, according to my long-term understanding of spiders, although spiders are not social creatures, but since there are spiders in this place, it is likely that there are its own kind nearby.
It's better to find that door quickly and go back to that restaurant for help, which is the best option at the moment.
However, after being chased by the giant spider for so long, not to mention the way we came, I am afraid that we may not even be able to find the place where we put our luggage and rest, not to mention that we still escaped from the restaurant in a panic before, and wanted to touch it back, how easy is it to talk about it?
In any case, escaping the spider's detection range first is the most important thing at the moment.
Having made up my mind, I picked up a sturdy branch from nearby, bared my teeth and endured the pain, dragging my charred right foot and limping in the direction from which I came.
In my opinion, Xiao Nan has already escaped alone, but there is no village in front of this place, where can she run to?
In any case, let's find her first, it's safer for two people to be together than alone.
Although I had been running all the way before, fortunately it only took a minute or two, and the distance was not too far, even if I walked slowly, theoretically, it wouldn't take long to get to the place where I had provoked the spider before.
Just as I was thinking this, I felt as if I had stepped on something strange, and there was a soft touch under my feet, and my body suddenly lost its balance and fell forward to the ground.
Although this fall was not as hurtful as the previous one from being dragged down by spider silk, but I was now scarred all over my body, and this fall hurt me a lot, and I bared my teeth and shouted:
"Ouch, I'll go, what the hell...... Stuff? ”
Before I could finish speaking, I heard a coquettish hum come into my ears.
"Why is this sound so familiar?"
The moonlight in this place was just half obscured by the leaves overhead, and I couldn't see it very really, and I didn't know where to throw the flashlight in my hand, so I lit the lighter in my hand suspiciously, and looked at the 'thing' that tripped me through the faint light of the fire, and I was stunned for a moment.
"Xiao Nan? What are you doing here? ”
It turned out that it wasn't a 'thing' that tripped me just now, but my cousin Le Zhengnan.
At this moment, she was lying flat on the ground, staring at me with a look of shame, and cried out through gritted teeth: "You stupid cat, stinky cat, rogue cat, where did you step on it just now?" ”
I pursed my lips and said, "I didn't mean to step on you, who told you to lie here, the spiders are chasing me, and you still can't get up?" ”
Xiao Nan hurriedly said: "How can I get up?" You see clearly, look at my feet, how am I going to get up like this now? ”
Hearing Xiao Nan say this, I looked at her feet by the firelight, and I was immediately happy when I saw it.
No wonder she said she couldn't get up, Xiao Nan's legs, from the knee joint down, have been completely wrapped in a thick layer of spider webs, it turned out that the giant spider had been tinkering here for so long before, not to eat Xiao Nan directly, but to wrap her in a cocoon with a spider web first, and then take her home to enjoy it slowly.
No wonder this strange guy would rather just give up the food in front of him and turn around to chase me, it turns out that in its opinion, Xiao Nan has become a thing in his pocket, and he doesn't need to care about it at all.
"I thought you ran away alone."
Xiao Nan glanced at me and said, "I want to do this, you rogue cat, you should die early." ”
I didn't care about Xiao Nan's complaints, and I didn't care why she called me a hooligan, so I turned off the lighter casually, dragged her legs and dragged her to a place where the moonlight could illuminate.
This spider silk is really troublesome, and I don't know what kind of spider this spider is, its spider silk is very easy to burn, and it only needs a little spark to burn like oil, so I don't dare to try to burn the spider silk with a lighter, in case these spider silk burn for a while, then Xiao Nan is estimated to be cooked.
Fortunately, the spider silk is not wrapped too much, just starting from the knee joint and wrapping all the way to the soles of the feet.
I think that spider silk wraps around prey, it should be like wrapping woolen balls, as long as you find the thread, you can untie it with a pull, this shouldn't be too difficult to solve, right?
The moonlight was bright tonight, but fortunately the spider silk was very thick, and it didn't take long for me to find the end of the spider silk by the bright silver light.
The position of the end of the spider silk was out of Xiao Nan's reach, so she was lying in place until now, unable to move.
Fortunately, the giant spider did not use sticky spider silk when wrapping Xiao Nan, and with a slight pull, the spider silk slipped off.
By the moonlight, I could see that her white legs were covered with tiny wounds, and there were slight blood marks on them, presumably cut by weeds and shrubs when she escaped from the restaurant.
No wonder this spider had been chasing Xiao Nan before and not chasing me, probably because it smelled the smell of blood emanating from her skin.
Xiao Nan didn't realize that the giant spider was missing until this time, so he asked, "Hey, kitten, where is the big spider?" ”
I pointed to the fire that was still burning in the distance and told her what had happened.
"Where did you get the lighter?" Xiao Nan exclaimed: "Could it be that you still smoke?" I'm going to tell my aunt about this! ”
I never expected that the focus of this stinky girl was here, I covered my forehead and said urgently: "When is it, do you still care about these details?" It doesn't matter if you run away, right? ”
Xiao Nan was surprised: "In other words, it's not dead yet?" ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm lucky that I didn't die, how can I expect it to die?" If we can hold it for a while, let's hurry up and find our luggage. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Nan also nodded.
It's not that we're thinking about how much the luggage is worth, it's all in the suitcase, and if we don't find it quickly, even if we can get out of this hellish place, we won't be able to move an inch.
The two of us supported each other, and after walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered something, and wondered: "Why didn't I find out, you still have the problem of making small reports?" ”
Xiao Nan gave me a blank look, and returned my previous words to me as they were:
"When is it that you still care about these details? It doesn't matter if you run away, right? ”
