Chapter 109: Strange Birds
The strange birds overhead in the night let out hoarse calls, one after another, very unpleasant.
These two poisons can be called the overlords in the deep forests of Xiangxi, but I don't know why they gave up my "good meal" and fought on their own.
Maybe the two have been rivals for a long time, but this giant python with the thickness of a thigh and a giant jawed centipede of nearly human size are fighting together.
It's almost a forest wonder, a rare sight in a hundred years.
"Run!"
It was a good time to escape, and I tentatively touched the little devil's forehead with my hand.
In an instant, the scorching temperature shocked me into a cold sweat.
"It's bad, now that the centipede's poison has attacked, let me go where to find the antidote."
Treading on the soft soil under my feet, the woods in front of me were almost covered with my footprints.
The strange rocks in the mountain streams in Xiangxi are dripping, some of them look like human shapes, but they are also like six-armed ghosts, staring at me coldly in the night.
Suddenly, hoarse birdsong followed, and it seemed like I would follow them wherever I went, making a mournful crow cry in my ears.
"TM's, it's really haunting."
I picked up a sharp stone from the ground, raised my hand at the rows of dark shadows in the night, and threw it out.
For "throwing stones and shooting birds" is a trick that I often played with my friends in the deep courtyard when I was a child, or I used a blow needle stained with ** juice, I always gained a lot when I was young.
I frowned, I just wanted to scare these strange crow-like birds away, but I never thought that it was really the blind cat that ran into a dead mouse.
A large, black feathered bird struggled to fall from the treetops, and I turned up the flashlight.
In the dim light, it was discovered that the strange bird with a hoarse voice was not a crow.
The black shiny fur has sharp wings, and the claws are covered with jet-black scales, which are unusually sharp.
"Shhhhh
I gasped, and the nerves that had been tense couldn't help but relax.
The current situation is too difficult, and if you don't have enough survival experience and tools, you can't survive in this Xiangxi mountain for more than three days.
What's more, Xiao Yue, who was carrying her back, was still unconscious, and her hot forehead gave me no time to think too much.
As he was thinking about it, he found that the strange bird in front of him did not seem to have been hit by the stone, and it flapped its wings and lay on the ground.
The beak of a bird with its jet-black beak turned its head to look at me.
When he opened his eyes, I suddenly noticed that the bird's eyes had turned blood-red at some point, like gems growing in caves.
It's just that in this dark night, it looks like it's shining a terrible light, like staring at its prey.
"TM, not good!"
I hurriedly got up with a loud shout, but I forgot about the sad Xiaoyue behind me, her slender body pressed against her body.
But it also made me slow for a second at this critical juncture of the crisis.
"Gollum... Chirp".
The crisp, hoarse sound of birdsong almost punctured my eardrums.
The strange bird in front of him had a pair of scarlet eyes, and was waving powerful eagle-like claws to grasp at the front door.
At that moment I could tell that this thing seemed to have a certain IQ and was coming straight into my eyes.
"TM, I'll make you a supper today!"
I ducked backwards desperately to avoid the fatal blow, and the flock of strange birds above me swooped down with flapping their wings as if they had been warned.
The blood-red eyes were terrifying in the night sky.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I desperately ran into the mountains with Xiaoyue behind me on my back, the soft soil under my feet mixed with branches and leaves.
The moon in the sky was completely covered in dark clouds, and the strange birds behind me were chasing me like crazy.
The sharp claws directly cut through the hospital gown on his body, revealing bloody scratches.
I didn't care about checking the injuries on my body, I just desperately put Xiao Yue behind me off my back and held it in my arms.
When I looked up at the sky again, I couldn't tell where the moon was.
Suddenly, I recalled a few paragraphs recorded in Wu Laogou's diary.
A night like this that covers the moon is commonly known as "God dozes off, and a hundred ghosts walk at night." ”
If you go to a deep mountain or a place with potholes and extreme yin, it is inevitable to encounter evil ghosts and evil gods.
"TM, did this bad old man bless me in heaven, why did anything bad happen to me?"
I spat lightly at the ground, but suddenly remembered the gaunt back in my mind.
Listening to the constant chirping behind him, he hurriedly stood up and continued the journey of escape.
Feeling the scorching body temperature emanating from Xiao Yue behind her, she knew that if she continued to run like this, she would definitely lose her life.
The experience of those days in the mental hospital echoed in my mind along the way, looking at her petite body in front of me wearing this loose medical coat.
I have to admit in my heart that a person like me, who has a flawed personality along with emotions, actually has a good impression of other strange girls for the first time, but this feeling is more like a reliance between brother and sister.
"If only I had a shotgun in my hand."
I whispered to myself, but I didn't dare to pause.
Desperately shuttling through the jungle, he was relieved until the birds behind him gradually stopped singing.
Leaning under the trunk of a huge tree, the unique freshness of the earth after a shower of rain emanates from the surroundings.
I looked at Xiao Yue, who was unconscious and flushed in my arms, and my heart was like a thousand ants devouring my heart, I knew that this would be the result.
I shouldn't have put her and me at risk in the first place.
Suddenly, in the twilight of the night, I saw what seemed to be a verdant plant with a red cherry growing in the dirt in front of me.
I couldn't describe what it was for a while, but it was silent and terrible within a radius of 100 meters, and the poisonous insects that came out of the day and night were even more nocturnal.
I gently leaned the little Yue in my arms against the trunk of the tree, and I walked slowly, staring around vigilantly.
It wasn't until I got closer to it, in the dim light of the flashlight, that I could see the thing for what it really was.
Its roots are deep in the earth, and two emerald green leaves spread out from its head to the left and right, and at the very top it has tiny branches, each of which has a red "little cherry" hanging on it.
The dew of the night floats lightly on it, and it seems that you can still smell the medicinal fragrance that emanates from it.
"It's... Is this an old mountain ginseng? ”
I was pleasantly surprised in a trembling tone, and then wiped the dirt from my fingertips with the bloodstained clothes on my chest.
Carefully knelt on the ground and dug out the old ginseng little by little.
"There is no way to get there..."
I couldn't help but whisper this, and then I put the red fruit on it, along with the emerald green branches, and twisted it into juice in my hand.
One was applied to Xiao Yue's forehead, and the other gently pinched her mouth and fed her the remaining juice with the salivating red fruit.
The effect of old ginseng is rare in the world, and it is said that if you meet a thousand years of old ginseng and put a sip in the mouth of the person who is about to breathe, it can make the deceased rejuvenated.
It's just that I don't even know if this wild herb that replenishes qi and blood has the effect of detoxification, but I see her gradually emaciated.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried in my heart.
As a centipede, as a five-poison poison, its toxicity is bound to be stronger than that of other Hetian poisonous insects, not to mention that it is still this kind of giant centipede that is about to become a sperm, and if it is a little careless, there will definitely be no way to save it.
"Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor."
I prayed briefly in my heart, and then I took the medicine Xiaoyue in my arms and leaned against the huge trunk of a tree and fell asleep.
The remaining roots of the old ginseng tree, along with the roots, were carefully wrapped in my arms so that I could continue to feed her when she woke up slightly.
This night's sleep was very sweet.
I don't know if it's because of the medicinal effect of the old ginseng in my arms, so that the tense nerves are slowly relaxed unconsciously.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already early in the morning, and I hurriedly wiped the sweat drops on my forehead for Xiaoyue in my arms.
Watching her gradually turn ruddy, the heart that had been hanging was finally relaxed.
"Silly... Fool..., where are you.... ”
She closed her eyes and muttered words at the corners of her mouth, but when she was close to her ear, she noticed that she had opened her eyes slightly.
The eyes are as clear as water, and the chapped lips reveal a different kind of "sickly beauty".
"I... I'm by your side, you're fine. ”
Listening to her weak tone, the heart in my chest seemed to be pulled again, and I didn't know why I cared about the girl in front of me, who was a dozen years younger than me.
It's just that if I had met ten years ago, I might not have chosen to join the army, but chose to live the life of an ordinary person.
She struggled to open her eyes and look at me, slightly curled the corners of her mouth into a mischievous smile, and the next second she fell asleep in my arms.
I know that the centipede poison in her body should be fine, but her body is a little weak and needs a quiet place to recuperate.
Then he turned around and carried the petite her on his back again.
Looking at the dark forest overhead, only a little sunlight could shine through the haze of leaves.
Under his feet, he was stepping on a pair of worn leather boots that he had refused to give up for nearly two years, and he walked quickly into the hopeless deep mountains and old forests.
Suddenly.
The ground under my feet seemed to be a little soft and abnormal, but when I reacted, I had already fallen into the hole with Xiao Yue on my back.
"It's broken."
The earth cave went straight up and down and was deep and terrifying, and when I was about to fall to the ground, I desperately twisted the direction of my body and protected Xiaoyue in my arms by my side.
Fortunately, this is not a trap laid by hunters in the mountains, otherwise it would have killed both of us if it was covered with sharp bamboo nails.
"Shhhhh
I looked at Xiao Yue, who was still sleeping peacefully in my arms, until my buttocks and even my whole body were in sharp pain, and I couldn't help but gasp.
Looking up at the deep circular hole at the top, it seemed to be five or six meters deep.
And the ground under his feet was not soil, but carefully laid green bricks, on which a layer of turbid black water wafted up to his ankles.
