Chapter 395: Descend the mountain safely
When Zhao Qiujin heard Feng Lan say this, he had no choice but to nod, although he probably knew in his heart, Feng Lan probably didn't remember where he came from.
But this is also normal, Feng Lan has lived in the mountains for decades, and the last time he went down the mountain should have been when he was a child, when he was very young, after more than thirty years here, everything has already changed.
"Let's rest first, and when we regain our strength, let's go in that direction as you say."
Feng Lan nodded, in fact, he had been in this mountain forest for many years, and he had a sense of direction, so he wouldn't find the wrong way, but because there were all the lush trees around him now, no one saw people, not even a house.
Therefore, Feng Lan didn't dare to assert that he would definitely be able to take Zhao Qiujin out of it safe and sound.
"What if I'm going to get you lost?" Feng Lan asked suddenly.
Hearing Feng Lan say this, Zhao Qiujin just smiled bitterly, "How is this possible?" Don't forget, we're already lost now, can it be worse than the current situation, at most we take all the wrong paths, let's exercise and exercise. ”
As she spoke, she smiled helplessly, she was going to go the wrong way anyway, and after the two of them rested, they kept moving forward in the direction that Feng Lan said just now.
After walking for an hour, Zhao Qiujin really felt a little tired, but she seemed to feel as if they had been in this forest all along, surrounded by trees, and there was no change at all.
Even if it is clear that they have been walking for a long time, it can be seen how big this forest is!
"We've been walking for an hour now, and I'm almost unable to walk, but how does this area look exactly the same as before, let's not go the wrong way!" Feng Lan sighed.
They should have made no mistake, they had actually made marks along the way just now, but they didn't see those marks appear repeatedly in front of them.
It means that they haven't walked back, they've just been walking in one direction.
"Hold on a little longer, we didn't go the wrong way, just on the way over, I marked the trees on the side of the road with gray strips of cloth, if we walk back, we should be able to see those gray strips of cloth."
Zhao Qiujin had no choice but to nod, and after a little rest, the two of them continued to walk in one direction.
However, fortunately, you can still find some simple wild fruits in this mountain forest, although some are jerky, and even when you eat them, they will make people shiver, but there is food to satisfy your hunger.
"Look at that one doesn't seem to be a forest anymore, could it be someone else?" Zhao Qiujin's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a gray wall not far away.
She couldn't see it too clearly, because she had been hungry for too long, and she was already dizzy from hunger, but she still vaguely saw that there seemed to be a gray wall between the jungles.
If that gray wall is inhabited, then they can go over and have a look.
Feng Lan looked in the direction Zhao Qiujin was pointing and nodded, the place did look a bit like it was inhabited.
However, it should be quite far from them, after all, they all look vague now, and it is estimated that they will have to walk for half an hour.
"Do you still have the strength to keep going?"
Zhao Qiujin nodded, originally she didn't have much strength, but now that she saw hope again, how could she give up hope easily!
"I see that gray wall now, as if I see hope beckoning to me, since I see hope, then we have to persevere, if we stop here, then it is estimated that we will really starve to death here, or settle here, but I don't want to do this!"
Feng Lan smiled helplessly when she heard Zhao Qiujin say this, then stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Qiujin's arm, "Get up, hold on a little longer, we should be able to arrive soon." ”
Along the way, the two men encouraged each other, and finally walked from noon to sunset, and then to evening, they seemed to hear the sound of a dog barking.
If there is a sound of a dog barking, it means that there is a village and someone living in the vicinity!
"Look at the smoke, it must be a place where someone lives, great, we can be saved." Zhao Qiujin had a happy look on his face.
Feng Lan nodded, and took Zhao Qiujin to walk in the direction where the smoke drifted over, and finally when the moon rose, the two of them saw a few scattered people's homes.
Although there are only a few small dilapidated houses there, it can be seen that there should be no one in this village, but it is a place of human habitation.
Zhao Qiujin pulled Feng Lan in a panic, turned his head to look at Feng Lan, and found that Feng Lan's feet didn't know when it was bleeding.
"Wait a minute, Feng Lan, what's going on with your feet, it hurts, there's so much blood shedding, why don't you say it!"
"I was accidentally hooked by a tree branch just now." Feng Lan explained lightly.
He was often injured while hunting, and once almost lost a finger because of an accident while fighting a wild wolf.
He had long been accustomed to a small injury like this, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Zhao Qiujin bent down with a concerned face, tore off a clean cloth from his body, and then helped Feng Lan to treat the wound briefly.
"You must be careful, otherwise there will be too much bleeding, what if you can't leave by then, I won't leave you, we are now friends in the same camp, you can rest assured, we can find someone right away." Zhao Qiujin said, and took Feng Lan into the village together.
Then, she found a nearby family.
You can tell from the window that the house is occupied, because its candles are lit, but the door is closed.
It's almost early winter, the weather is slightly cold, and now every house is closed at this time.
Zhao Qiujin took the initiative to walk over and knocked on the door, and the owner of the house heard someone knocking on the door and immediately came over to open the door.
But after opening the door, I saw an unkempt girl standing in front of her, the owner looked nervous, looking Zhao Qiujin up and down, I don't know where this person came from, but looking at Miansheng, it shouldn't be from their village.
Zhao Qiujin looked at the 50-year-old woman in front of him, and hurriedly explained: "Auntie, we came from afar, but my friend and I were injured tonight, can we borrow it here for a while?" ”
The eldest lady didn't speak, just a wary look, and seemed to still be a little skeptical that what Zhao Qiujin said was true.
They had lived in this place for a long time, but they had never seen anyone from outside, and there were almost no people in their small village, so how could a stranger suddenly appear!
Seeing that the lady was about to close the door, Zhao Qiujin hurriedly took off a bracelet on her hand, which was the only thing of value on her body.
At that time, I fell from the mountain, and many things were lost in the process of falling, especially the jewelry on my head, and the only thing left was my own necklace and bracelet.
"Auntie, look at my girl's house, this big night, I don't know where to go, it's so cold outside, don't worry, I'm really not a bad person, I'll give you this bracelet, you can exchange it for silver when you go to the market, and buy some grain, oil, rice and noodles."
