Chapter 108: Sleeping Rough

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake just now, I don't think it's the right way." When going down the mountain, it was always Zhuang Chengyun who led her, and the weeds all the way were almost all grown Ji Wei didn't remember the road, so he simply didn't look at it, but now the more he walked, the darker and darker he went, and the road became smaller and smaller, they had to change from side by side to front and back, and it was completely different when they went up the mountain.

She looked up and saw that a large area of straight tree trunks was towering, dense and full of green leaves, and there was no light at all, and all kinds of strange birds and insects were chirping one after another, and from time to time there would be a rapid rustling sound in the dense and invisible grass, and I didn't know what animal ran over, more like the scene in the depths of the old forest!

Ji Wei was much more vigilant all of a sudden, she took out the magic pen and followed behind Zhuang Chengyun, and as she walked, she quickly drew a small dagger out of thin air.

Zhuang Chengyun recalled carefully, "I'm not too sure. ”

It is really difficult for him to recognize the road, usually he does not have many opportunities to go out alone, and he does not need to lead the way, so he naturally does not need to remember the road, lack of habits, and mistakes are common.

"Not sure?" It's okay if I'm not sure at the moment, I'm not sure about her at this time, isn't it a joke, I'm not sure and I'm desperately leading the way in front, is this going to be wild on the spot, not going back......

Ji Wei cut a sturdy branch with a dagger and handed it to him, "You go and follow behind, just take care of yourself, I'll lead the way!" ”

This confident appearance, looking at it is reassuring, Zhuang Chengyun honestly retreated to the back, the two continued to walk forward, Ji Wei took advantage of the convenience of leading the way, and secretly drew a small compass.

They probably can't go back to the original road, so they can only keep walking to the west to see if they can catch up with the sunset that will go down the mountain for a while, as long as they can see the light, they are not afraid of not finding the way down the mountain.

However, the reality is always more severe than imagined, the two of them walked one after the other in the dark, still just in this forest, the limited light inside gradually began to weaken, and the temperature also dropped a lot, Ji Wei finally couldn't support it, and finally saw a few big stones covered with moss, she didn't think about taking off her newly bought jacket and covering it, "Let's rest for a while, if I go on like this, I will definitely be paralyzed and unable to get up." ”

My stomach was so hungry, my body was getting more and more tired, and my legs were so heavy that they seemed to be filled with lead......

She raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, no wonder she couldn't see the way clearly, and it should have been almost dark outside.

In this deep mountain and old forest, there are signs of beast activity in the daytime, not to mention that it is dark, and the night is simply a feast specially given to them by God, although she has space to defend herself, she still has to be careful, and now she is not alone.

She picked up a pile of dead branches and weeds nearby, "pulled" a match from her pocket, and lit it on one of the relatively flat rocks.

As soon as the fire is lit, people are also a lot more steady, in the wild, this is the best self-defense weapon, almost no animals are not afraid of fire.

By the light of the fire, Ji Wei glanced around, except for the forest or the forest, but there was a relatively open place, and there seemed to be the sound of running water in the distance.

She found a tree trunk about the thickness of her arm, divided it into two with a dagger, and made two small torches, one of which was handed to Zhuang Chengyun, "I saw a bush of mushrooms on the way just now, just a few meters away, I'll go dig them up now, you stay here and don't move, soon." ”

Although she said this, Zhuang Chengyun was still not at ease, "I'll go with you." ”

Outside, no matter how she charges in front, he is behind to take care of him, he is not worried, but in a ghost place where the light of day is gone, everything is unknown, and the two of them are safest only when they stay together.

Ji Wei stubbornly refused, "No, it's just a few steps, what are you doing here, if the movement is too big, it may be dangerous." ”

In fact, there were no mushrooms on the road, she just wanted to find an excuse to draw a little by herself and bring it back, if she let him follow, what else would she do.

Zhuang Chengyun has always been unable to resist her, but fortunately, in the place she pointed, he could just take a look at the torch with a torch.

In just a few minutes, she really came back with a bunch of white and chubby mushrooms.

"You see I didn't lie to you, I heard the sound of water over there, and I'll be full for a while, and I'll almost recover my strength, let's go over and have a look, and find some water to drink by the way."

Accustomed to utility knives at home, Ji Wei easily cut out a few well-proportioned wooden skewers with a dagger, and she asked Zhuang Chengyun to put the mushrooms on the wooden skewers one by one, and took them to the fire to roast them.

There is no oil, no salt, and no spices, so you can think that the baked food will definitely not taste good, but at this time, it is the most important task to fill your stomach, and you can't take care of it.

Fortunately, when the fragrance of mushrooms wafted out, the pure natural sweetness still greatly satisfied Ji Wei's taste buds!

When you're hungry, everything is delicious!

She ate one, handed the rest to Zhuang Chengyun, and then continued to grab two skewers and roast them, Zhuang Chengyun was willing to let her starve, and the two of them ate one by one.

With food in his stomach, his physical strength was almost half recovered, Ji Wei re-got two torches and extinguished the fire, "I'm afraid we're going to spend the night in this old black mountain tonight, we have to hurry up and find a place to stay, the deeper the night, the more unsafe it is." ”

"This time I'll go ahead, you can show me the way." Zhuang Chengyun held the torch and took the initiative to walk to the front.

At night, there are potential dangers everywhere, who doesn't know what will pop up anytime and anywhere, he walks in front, and he can block her at best.

Ji Wei didn't object, he just drew a bag of male yellow powder with one hand, and while following behind, he silently sprinkled it on both sides, so that those snakes, insects, rats and ants would stay away when they smelled the smell.

The sound of the water sounded clear, but it was not close, but the road became more and more open along the way, and the moon also showed its face, and after about forty minutes, a narrow natural gravel road finally appeared in front of them, and the two held each other's hands again, and the sound of the water finally seemed to open the door of the barriers, and suddenly became louder!

"It's a waterfall, it's a waterfall!" When he saw the white practice that fell from the sky under the moonlight, Ji Wei excitedly pulled Zhuang Chengyun and ran over.

The waterhole where the waterfall is located is located in a relatively low basin, not very large, but it has a flat rocky beach, and the white stones are a bit like the ones on the mountain road outside, but they are much larger.

She squatted beside the waterhole and took a photo, and when she saw that the water was clean and clear, she put the torch aside and drank it with confidence.

Unlike a few decades later, where there was pollution everywhere, the deep mountains and old forests that no one had intruded into for hundreds of years had the most authentic nature, and even the water was sweeter and more delicious than the outside!

She drank several handfuls in a row, and then discussed with Zhuang Chengyun, "Why don't we stay here at night, and then continue to find the way to the mountain when it dawns tomorrow." ”

"It's fine." As she spoke, Zhuang Chengyun had already picked up a limited number of dead branches on the rocky beach, and made a fire by putting them together like she had just done, and Ji Wei also hurriedly carried the torch over to help and brought back more firewood from near the rocky beach.

The two worked together, one was responsible for finding flat stones to lay a place to sleep as much as possible, and the other was responsible for finding some soft hay to lay a straw mattress, and Ji Wei volunteered to choose the latter.

Hays are hard to find in early spring, and she just picked up firewood and saw it by the way, and she couldn't find a few, but she could paint!

Large bales of hay to hug back, at this time, the life experience of the countryside is of great help, laying a thick layer of straw mattress, Ji Wei and the rest of the hay all rolled into a straw rope, the straw rope and the straw rope together to weave a random braid, a simple straw curtain is formed, and then find three longer thick branches to tie together to support a tripod, the straw curtain is covered on the head, the temporary tent is also available, the temperature in the deep mountains is low and the dew is big, I don't feel that I am busy at this time, it is not comfortable to sleep in the open air in the middle of the night, it will be much better with this thing.

She picked up some rocks again and fastened the triangular tent to the straw mattress.
