Chapter 27: Into the Black Forest Again
Yang Qingnan threw his bag back to the hotel, only brought some bandaging anti-inflammatory supplies and a bottle of cooling oil, and then ran to the main entrance. As he was running on the road, he received another message: "Have you gotten on the boat?" Kazi may send you a life-saving message, you must not care, that kid is always making a fuss and shouting for help at every turn. You just have to take the boat and go on the road with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about things here. ”
What are they doing? Yang Qingnan was a little stunned, and he didn't complain about himself, however, he had already missed two boats in one day. It seems that Qazi and Arambu are separated, and he should hesitate to believe anyone's words now, if it is too late to buy a ticket now.
He settled down and sent a message to Po Luomo: "Xiaomo, are you by Kazi's side?" Are you all right? ”
Yang Qingnan waited while walking, she usually doesn't play with her mobile phone, sometimes she pays too much attention to the things around her and ignores the ringtone of incoming letters, and most importantly, she types very slowly.
Walking to the outskirts of the forest, Poromo finally replied, "We're safe." ”
As short as ever, she is not like Kazi, who puts all kinds of emotions on her face, and she is used to being hurt silently without saying it, so she may ignore a lot of external factors when she says "very safe".
He thought, let's go and see, anyway, the boat can't catch up, what can I do if it's a day late.
The problem now is that they don't know where they are when they enter the forest, and the townspeople never enter the forest, because it is dark, and there are wild beasts, and most importantly, there are dead people inside. Needless to say, Yang Qingnan does not believe in God or evil, he advocates science.
He sent a message to ask Kazi, who said that they were in a tent under the old banyan tree, and he also said that he had been bitten by something, and he didn't know if it was poisonous, but it hurt badly. It's easy to do with a specific location, and he still vaguely remembers the last time he went, because he often explores in the wild, he has a good sense of direction and knows the way quickly.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the big tree gradually appeared, and Yang Qingnan cut a vine and tied it to two oak trees, and fixed it at the height of his calf, if there was a sudden attack of a wild beast, he could also use it to avoid it.
The treehouses were still as tough as the trees as usual, the only difference was that there were a few uninvited guests.
Kazi curled up on a haystack, fingers of his right hand, covered in fur. Tromo waited by his side, but could not do anything. Yang Qingnan, who rushed over, looked at his wound, rinsed it with water, and then smeared some cool oil.
"What do you think? It turned out that it was just a bug bite. ”
"Ahh Uncle Nan, why haven't you left yet? Did you come to see me? Kazi opened his eyes, rubbing his leather jacket incessantly.
"Alright, stop."
Splasher described what had happened to him, and he nodded, saying that it was a stinging caterpillar and would not attack people, and that it must have been touched by Kazi.
"Alain Bu didn't leave us, he went to the front alone to open the way."
"But it doesn't seem good." Kazi muttered, "I haven't been back for so long, will there be any accidents?" ”
"Well, you stay here first, and I'll go find him."
"No, no, what if something happens to you? We can't let you be implicated. ”
Yang Qingnan said in his heart, didn't you send me a message just to lure the snake out of the hole? Why are you worried about me again now?
"Okay, then let's go together, and die together."
The three of them set out in unison, the sky was getting dark, and the jungle in front of them was so dark that it was unspeakably dark. Yang Qingnan scraped off a layer of old bark and trapped it on a wooden stick with gauze to make a simple torch. The torch illuminates all directions, and the quiet forest seems less terrifying, but the slightest wind and grass can be nerve-wracking.
As soon as he left the town, the signal became very poor, and Yang Qingnan made several calls in a row but did not get through, and the two people behind him followed cautiously. The ground is uneven, sometimes it is overgrown with plants, and sometimes it hits deep mud puddles, and it is extremely dangerous to fall if you are not careful.
Yang Qingnan asked the two to follow his footsteps, but unfortunately, someone was still tricked. The last of the head of the Polomo was entangled in weeds and could not move. When Kazi saw that she was in danger, he immediately pulled out the grass with his hands, but he couldn't pull it out at all.
Yang Qingnan walked over to take a look and found that it was actually the same kind of grass that was wrapped around her legs. Under the light of the fire, he did not dare to conclude, only that they were colluded with each other, and when animals passed by, they would easily be "caught" by them. The flora and fauna in the deep mountains and forests are very spiritual, and it is hard to believe that they will unite against foreign invaders.
The temperature of the torch can separate them, and the theory is that the plant is very difficult to catch on fire, when in reality the slightest spark can burn them.
The three of them continued to move forward, and a barren mountain appeared in front of them, the mountain was bare, and on one side was a talc slope. Yang Qingnan thought that he should be able to bypass it, so he chose to walk on the rugged side of the ridge.
As he walked, Kaqi suddenly screamed, and Yang Qingnan hurriedly looked back, only to see him looking around with a pale face.
"What do you call if you walk well?"
"Just now, something was on my shoulder." He said as he touched his shoulder.
"It's an illusion, you see that Xiaomo is not afraid of being like this." Yang Qingnan tilted his head, "Huh? What about Xiaomo? ”
Kazi shook his head, saying he hadn't noticed.
"Huh." Someone's voice floated by, and Yang Qingnan looked through the light of the torch and saw that Po Luomo was crouching down and staring at the rock wall.
The two men walked over, but they didn't see anything, and she said, "The shape of the crack in this rock wall is herringbone." ”
"I look like a triangle, what's so strange?"
"Huh?" Yang Qingnan approached it and found that the crack was a bit large, and the inside seemed to be hollow, "The outside is flat, and it doesn't look like a landslide." ”
But when he raised his torch to take a closer look, a strange wind suddenly blew out the fire from the mountain, and the surroundings suddenly became black. Yang Qingnan took out his lighter, but he couldn't hit it.
Kazi was calm this time, and he slowly turned on the screen of his mobile phone, illuminating Yang Qingnan's face.
"High-tech." He couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Uncle, don't you have one?"
"I don't." He added, "No electricity." ”
Po Luomo also took out his mobile phone and directly turned on the flashlight, and the dazzling strong light made the two unable to open their eyes. When they looked at the rock wall again, the humanoid crack seemed to be gone.
"I can't see anything, I'm going to be blind." Kazi yelled.
Yang Qingnan rubbed his eyes, and the crack was still there. Misfortune was heard in the distance, the howl of wolves in the distance, and then the sound of rustling in the forest. While they were observing and studying how the cracks in the rock wall were formed, a pack of coyotes had already crept up on them.
