Chapter 12 Looking for Mom?
"Hey, hey, hey!! Don't drink, don't drink... You see there's a village over there..."It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and one of them was leaning against the stone by the tree with the child in his arms. One ran to the creek to fetch water to drink.
Zhang Hao, who was very bored, looked around.
When he was bored, he put the child on the stone and ran out alone, not knowing where he had gone.
When he ran back again, he came back with very good news. They finally found that coordinate!
"What? You said you found it! At this time, Du Jingming, who had just received the water, slowly stood up.
Holding a kettle in one hand and holding his knee with the other, it looks like his leg is numb from squatting when he catches the water.
"I found it, I found it!"
……
"You said you found it, is this it?" At this time, the two of them had already arrived at the position that Zhang Hao was pointing to.
There is indeed a huge sign here, and the word "Cowhide Village" is indeed written on it, but it is obvious that there is a deserted wasteland around it!
Where did the creatures come from?
"Kids! Is your home right here? In order not to prevent himself from making a mistake, Du Jingming could only ask the kid in a low voice, after all, he was not familiar with this place at all, and it would always be better to ask someone who was familiar with this place.
"It seems to be here, and my mother used to carry me in and out of here." The kid nodded, and stopped crying.
"Then why isn't there a house or a person here?" Du Jingming asked curiously while touching the big brand on a plate.
"It's just an icon for us, it means that this is the territory of Turf Village, and it doesn't mean that the villagers live here."
The child's words made Du Jingming and Zhang Hao realize, and nodded subconsciously, Du Jingming still refused to give up this goal, "Then which direction do you say you should go to your house?" ”
"I don't know about that... Find out for yourself! Anyway, all I remember is that my mom kept taking me to the left and to the right when I came back. ”
"Just say no?" Du Jingming pouted, and went in the direction that the kid said, anyway, there is no other choice now.
After about 10 minutes, they finally came to a small wooden village, which was a village that existed in trees.
I saw that these houses were all perched on the trunks of these branches, and there were only a few houses on the ground, but most of them were also separated from the ground.
"The houses here are a little weird, and the characteristics are very distinctive, but are we sure we can climb up?" Look at the house in front of you perched on a tree branch.
These trees are tall and short, and it is true that low houses can be climbed by hand along branches and trunks, but how are those tall houses built? How did you climb up?.
Du Jingming didn't understand this.
"Why are all the houses here built on tree branches??" Du Jingming turned into a curious baby and asked.
"You don't know! This is our local custom, the story is far, far away, it has been handed down before, there is too much content, I won't go into detail, you can experience it yourself in the future. ”
"............" Du Jingming was speechless?
Zhang Hao: "Speechless. ”
"Ouch! Xiaoshi is finally back, hurry up, hurry up... Your mom is going to die. At this time, an old man who was almost 80 years old climbed down from a three-meter-high tree trunk and landed safely on both feet.
"............: "This arm strength is too strong, isn't it?" Du Jingming couldn't help but swallow a puff of saliva, this person is too terrible, right, this must be an old man? Why does Du Jingming feel that this old man is clearly a young strong man?
It's scary to be able to climb down from such a tall tree, isn't it?
"Old man, you... You... Hello" Du Jingming subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Hello, hello!" Zhang Hao also nodded, put the child in his hand on the ground, and asked him to stand up.
"We're here to see off the child, and since the child has already been delivered, we should be able to leave too, right?" Zhang Hao didn't seem to want to stay in this place anymore, and somehow, he always felt that this place was magical, and he always felt disgusted with it.
"Wait, wait, wait! You've sent the kids! What about the child's mother? Little Stone, do you remember your mother? ”
"I just remember that my mother told me to put me in the bushes, and then he ran out with a hoe, and then he met my two brothers."
"......" Du Jingming was speechless for a while, what does this mean? Could it be that his mother has also run away? Should they be asked to find it again? He didn't do it, and although the task was easy, it was too tiring.
"We don't know, we don't know, go fast!" Zhang Hao can't help it, according to this old man, after looking for this child, he should continue to look for the child's mother, so when will he have to find it?
I didn't come here looking for someone, but to learn...
"Alas...... Wait wait! The old man quickly grabbed Zhang Hao's arm and motioned not to let them leave now.
"Hey, old man, what do you mean? "Unlike Zhang Hao, in the face of an old man, he stops it, and the account may stay for a while, but Du Jingming will not.
"I just wanted to tell you that there are a lot of wolves out there! When you passed by the entrance of the village just now, did you see a big wooden stake? Are there still a lot of wolf footprints on that big wooden stake? ”
"......" wolf, what does this mean?? If you don't let us go, let's just say it, why do you have to look for a wolf as an excuse to deceive people? Du Jingming is the least accustomed to this kind of liar.
"Wait for the wolves to come, come up with me, you will definitely be eaten down there." My sister, the old man, shook his head and pulled the wooden tent on the trunk of the tree beside him.
"I don't believe it! I'm going to check it out! "Du Jingming won't believe such a ridiculous lie, what era is this? The 21st century is almost over, does the wolf still exist in this world?
Wasn't it extinct a long time ago?
Besides, how dare you come to the place where people live?
"Whoa......" Du Jingming was just about to turn his head and want to go out to have a look, when he heard a wolf howl from outside the village, since Du Jingming felt that what the old man said was false, then this wolf howl must be true.
Although there are no more wolves in this era, there are still many in zoos and museums.
"Mom...... There really is. Now Du Jingming had to believe it.
"Hurry up, hurry up, ......" Du Jingming finally became anxious, and looked at the location of the village entrance with two eyes bitterly, but fortunately, there was no movement at the village entrance, and it was estimated that they were all hidden in the woods.
"Ouch, slow down."
"Oops, pull me!"
It took a while to climb before the two of them slowly caught up with the old man's footsteps.
The house on the trunk was small, with only a bed and a table, a few chairs, and some water bottles, and a TV and internet cable hanging on the wall.
"yes he, there is still a network cable here, so can the network cable here go online?" Looking at the messy network cable on the TV in front of him, Du Jingming asked strangely.
"Of course you can!"
