Chapter 177: Footprints in the Snow
In the next two days, because of my physical discomfort, plus the wind and snow outside, the cold wind did not stop, even if Bai Lu was anxious to find her sister, but considering my physical condition, I didn't dare to mention letting me find it, and Yun Wen was always by my side, feeding me medicine, carrying water, covering the quilt, etc., this Bai Lu was scolded by Yun Wen once before, how dare she talk to me about it at will.
I also stole a day of leisure, so that I could rest well and recuperate.
The food taken back, most of them are wild fruits, these can not be used as a meal, in addition to the white dew to adjust the taste can slightly satisfy the appetite, but not solve the problem of hunger and cold, eat too much when it is really cold, if the rest of the days like this, I am afraid that our stomach and intestines can not stand it, there is a saying that wild fruits in the natural selection, in order to reproduce, how much will secrete some toxic stimulation of the stomach and intestines in order to facilitate the user to discharge the grains.
Therefore, if we eat like this, sooner or later our body will not be able to stand it, and I have been thinking about how to survive for the past two days, how can I barely get through these periods? Most of the answers given in my mind are to go up to the Four Seasons Mountain with distinct seasons, and then look for anything edible.
It's just that the reason in my brain also reminds me that there has been a blood pupil on the top of the mountain again, and there is danger on the top, and I also know that this is very threatening, but in the wilderness, how can there be a comfortable choice, everything requires courage, and taking risks is also a basic operation, so I also made up my mind for the time being, and decided to wait for the body to burn down, and then take risks to eat.
Since the night of my illness, to this evening, I have basically rested for a full day, my spirit has recovered, and the fever has subsided, I was planning to discuss the matter of going up the mountain tomorrow, but I didn't expect Yun Wen to open her mouth first.
"Zhou Bo, are you better?" Yun Wen asked.
I nodded and said, "It's much better, you can act tomorrow, it's snowy today, I want to come too hard, and tomorrow it will be smaller, and then I plan to collect some food and come back." ”
"Where is the food on a snowy day, lie down again, or you will get pneumonia if the fever is serious." In addition, I have something to tell you about when you get better. Yun Wen said.
At this time, Bai Lu was boiling medicine on the side and didn't interject, but seeing that her eyes were slanted, she probably wanted to know what Yun Wen wanted to say.
"What's the matter? What is it about? I asked.
"About He Kui's predecessors, I have been thinking about what method it uses for the past two days to be able to survive by relying on a wooden body, so I specially went to see the wooden body of He Kui's predecessors, it was cut open by Sister Bai Lu, and it also allowed me to see its internal structure, I found that the heart of the predecessor has a hot air that has not yet dissipated, but is gradually cooling, like a special life energy." Yun Wen said.
"Sister Yunwen found out right, but this energy is just to save its heart from beating and not bad, the real reason for immortality should be that it retains its own innate qi, the so-called people live a breath, if the breath is gone, it is called swallowing, so he is not dead, and he has survived for so long, which is also related to the weather he kept first." Bai Lu said.
"What kind of energy can make a man's heart beat for five hundred years?" I asked.
"It's water!" Yun Wen said.
"Water?" I asked.
"There are a large number of fish and crabs in the water recently, floating under the ice, and a few days ago when we rescued the wooden man He Kui from the water, the water did not freeze, and I did not see the death of fish and crabs, and when I went to visit, I saw this scene, it can be seen that the relationship is very great, and the predecessors have been staying in the water to survive, but now as soon as they go ashore, they say that time is short, and then you say that they will be brought back to the water, and he said that the anger has been dispersed, and the time of death is coming, which shows that there is a problem with the water. When the anger is dispersed and cannot provide life energy, the predecessors will swallow their breath and die, and the same is true for the fish and crabs in the water. Yun Wen analyzed.
"My sister said it makes sense, but what is angry in the water? Also, why did the water suddenly lose its life? Bai Lu asked.
Yun Wen was still careful, and as soon as everything was analyzed in such a connection, she answered my doubts for me.
"Counting the days, it should have changed from the time of the earthquake, and as for the anger, I don't know, but it must have something to do with the source of the water." Yun Wen said.
Earthquake? I remembered that day I accidentally triggered a lever, and then the ground buzzed for a long time, and that's it. After that, I went to the source of the river on the top of the mountain, but I saw bats flying out of the cave during the day, and there were many dead bats and broken stones outside the cave entrance, and I also saw a pair of bloody eyes.
Blood pupils appeared at the mouth of the cave at the source of the water, which must be the reason why the water source was lifeless this time.
It's just that what are those bloody pupils, just one appearance can affect the ecology of the entire river, and the entire system will be transformed, so that the predecessors of He Kui, the wooden man who has survived for five hundred years, will breathe, what kind of existence is this?
I didn't mention it, after all, we still have to stay for a few days, and if Bai Lu learns that there are other Blood Pupil Clans, she will definitely be more worried about the situation of Yingchun, which will not help us, and make us nervous.
However, the so-called two sides of things, there are disadvantages and there are advantages, and when I heard what Yun Wen said, I couldn't help but say: "If I heard it right just now, there were a lot of fish and crabs dead in the river, right?" ”
The two girls were stunned for a moment, and then they all burst out laughing, and Yun Wen also snorted and said, "After saying such a key thing, all you think about is food." ”
I pretended to be stupid and smiled and said, "The people take food as the sky, there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Hahaha....
They laughed more and more happily.
In this way, it was quite a pleasant night, and everyone continued to hug each other to warm up and sleep after washing.
It's just that I can't help but think in my mind, He Kui said that the Dragon Hunting Camp later began to sacrifice people alive under the leadership of the deputy envoy Wang Gang, why didn't he survive for many years like an orangutan? In addition, the Blood Pupil Clan that the cave head met, could it have something to do with him?
Thinking left and right, in a blink of an eye, it was late at night, and I forced myself to sleep, and suddenly felt a little angry, and when I looked up, I saw the knife hanging on the wall, and I also remembered, isn't this the embroidered spring knife I saw in Claw Dragon Mountain? Could it be that this house has also lived in the Dragon Hunting Camp?
After a night of tossing and turning, I finally fell asleep.
The next day, we had a brief meal, and I told the two of us to stay in the house, and I went to find someone to catch some fish and crabs by the way, and she and she stayed.
When I got outside, it was all snowy, a white expanse, besieging the city, and I planned to patrol the city to find the news of the spring according to the custom, although it was useless, I should be relieved, but I really found some strange clues, such as the snow road, there are footprints, but not shoe prints, but neat footprints, neat enough to show what shape it is.
"And trapezoidal footprints?" I was amazed.
But today's business is to find food and people, the rest of the things let go first, so I went to the top of the mountain of the source of water, only to see that there are no four seasons, the whole mountain is covered with snow, flowers wither, butterflies are also dying in pieces, and then to the top of the mountain is cold, there are no wild monkeys, squirrels and other things, a bleak, fruit trees are also in an instant leaves fall, no fruit at all.
What's the situation? A day and nothing?
However, there were many dead river fish and crabs floating on the canal, so I chiseled the ice, found two branches, and put them one by one in my backpack, so I stewed them at night.
I probably got four crabs and three river fish, and I was ready to go back, but when I was about to pass by the river, I saw that He Kui's predecessor was gone, and I remembered that I had been placing it on the riverbank, wondering if it would be blown into the river by the wind, and I didn't care much.
But then I suddenly heard the screams of two girls coming from the direction of the house!
I was stunned, and hurriedly rushed back to the direction of the old tree house, and I also saw an extremely surprised scene!
Damn, there are so many wooden people around the ancient house!
