"I don't know where they came from, but in short, they love to hunt and are mostly not home during the day."

Not being at home during the day means it's just the two of us here right now.

I turned around and sat up and said to Meng Xiyao, "Since they are not at home, let's get out of here." ”

"Why leave this place, they are very nice to us, detoxify us, even if we want to leave, they come back and go again, so it's good to say!"

Meng Xiyao may have been shocked to see me suddenly propose to leave this place, and didn't understand why I thought so?

Maybe in Meng Xiyao's impression, I am not a grateful person.

Looking at Meng Xiyao's innocent face, I frowned.

When I was in the cemetery before, in front of the dilapidated hut, I already knew the methods of these people, and judging by the way they killed middle-aged people, these people were very cruel.

It's certainly not normal for such cruel people to keep us here.

On the surface, everything seems normal, but the more normal it is, the more serious it becomes.

I always felt that there were crises lurking around me, but where did these crises come from?

I said, "Do they do this every day?" ”

Meng Xiyao nodded.

He blinked and said to me, "Actually, I wake up very early every day and keep watching them basically not be at home during the day, and they come back every night around nine o'clock, and when they come back, they will come back with food, so I think they must have gone out hunting." ”

Meng Xiyao's words made the shadow in my heart worsen.

According to the laws of ordinary animals, it is basically impossible to go out during the day.

Wildlife is nocturnal, so most hunters choose to hunt at night.

Why do these people go hunting during the day, and as soon as they go out, is it that their base does not need to be taken care of?

I asked Meng Xiyao, "When I was unconscious, did any other strangers come to this place?" ”

"So far, it doesn't seem to be."

Meng Xiyao tilted her head and thought for a while, as if she hadn't come up with anything, so she answered directly.

I looked at Meng Xiyao in front of me, took a deep breath, and then looked out the window.

I find the scenery very strange.

Because at a glance, I saw that what I was looking at was the canopy of trees.

It's a bit incredible how you can see the canopy in such a room.

Hurriedly lying in front of the window, he was startled: "I also said how can I see the canopy, it turns out that we are on the canopy." ”

Meng Xiyao smiled next to me and said, "Do you know now?" Their house is so weird, digging a hole in the middle of a tree and building a house in the middle of the hole is really a high-level operation. ”

Dig a hole in the middle of a tree and build a house in the hole.

The hole is so high that it looks like it's just above the canopy.

I said, "Probably a treehouse." ”

After Meng Xiyao listened, the eyelashes of her two eyes were like two butterflies flapping their wings.

She said, "Your imagination is so rich, how can you turn a tree into a house?" ”

Meng Xiyao saw the beautiful scenery in the tree hole and naturally accepted these things.

But I'm a very vigilant person.

Seeing the innocent and lively Meng Xiyao beside me, I touched my head, in fact, I didn't want to scare Meng Xiyao, but I already had my own thoughts in my heart.

said to Meng Xiyao: "Have they taken you down this tree hole?" ”

Meng Xiyao was laughing.

She said to me, "Honestly, sometimes you can get stupid, and if you think about it, if I go down from a tree hole, who will take care of you?" ”

I finally got it.

Judging from what Meng Xiyao said, Meng Xiyao had never gone down from the tree hole, so Meng Xiyao and herself must have been locked up here.

I said, "When are they going to deliver things?" ”

"Around ten o'clock in the evening, they will bring up the water and food for the next day."

Wait for Meng Xiyao to finish.

I came to the door of the tree hole, looked down from the tree hole, and saw that it was a tall tree.

This tree is supposed to be a type of banyan tree, but it doesn't look like a banyan tree.

Looking down from the hollow, the straight-line distance is about forty meters high, equivalent to the height of a ten-story building, and the diameter of this tree is more than two meters, and the trunk looks smooth.

If you don't have any tools, if you want to climb this tree, it's ten times more difficult than climbing, which is equivalent to killing yourself.

Just as I fell silent, a strange wind suddenly blew from outside, almost pulling me out of the hollow in the tree.

Meng Xiyao looked at my face: "Do you really suspect that this is a place where we are imprisoned?" ”

I nodded.

"Can you tell me how they got here? It's about ten stories high, and if they want to come up, they'll borrow some tools. ”

"They climbed up," she said. ”

Judging from her expression, she is not lying, but looking at the height of the tree, if you want to climb it with your bare hands, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

I frowned and began to search the hollow of the tree.

Because the space is not very big, there is only one bed in it and there is a small table next to the bed with some food and drinking water on the table.

The food is a cake made from cassava from the forest.

Next to the tapioca cake, there was some drinking water and coconut, probably our food, but I don't have an appetite right now.

When you know you're a prisoner, you're thinking about how to get out of here, and you don't want to enjoy life here.

I said to Meng Xiyao: "I have a very intuitive question, how to go to the toilet at such a high place? ”

When I asked this question, Meng Xiyao's face suddenly turned red.

She lowered her head, it was a very personal question, and although there was no privacy between us, it was still a bit awkward to ask her in person.

Meng Xiyao said to me: "After drinking coconut water, you can go to the toilet in a coconut shell." ”

It turns out that coconut shells are used to carry urine, and it seems that this is how these primitive people came up with it.

Does this work?

If used properly, it can be used to leave the place.

Because it seems to me that the only thing that works in the whole tree cavity is coconut shells.

I asked Meng Xiyao, "Tell me, do you want to leave this place?" ”

"If you want to leave, I will leave with you, because your place is the safest place."

Meng Xiyao's words are always so warm.

I nodded and said to Meng Xiyao, "If we are leaving, we must find a way to control the person who will deliver food next time." ”

Hearing me say this, Meng Xiyao was surprised.

Meng Xiyao may not understand why I am doing this.

"Why did you do that?"

"Because the tree is so high, it is impossible to climb up without any tools, therefore, we should control the food delivery person and remove his tools for us to use."

It was my idea.

Meng Xiyao understands that if we really want to leave here, we must get the tools to leave.

The tool for leaving must be someone who regularly climbs large trees.

It's much easier to control people and get tools.

After a long wait, it got dark in the rainforest, and after dinner, the two hid the coconut shells.

Around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the dogs under the trees began to bark, and it seemed that the people of the tribe had returned.

These guys are really punctual and they come to this place on time in the evening.

Actually, the two of us had already planned it.

Our escape plan is being implemented, and now we are waiting for the people who deliver the food.

I still lay quietly in bed, pretending not to wake up.

Meng Xiyao squatted on the floor boredly, expecting something, and after waiting for about ten minutes, a figure flashed in the tree hole.

Sure enough, the person who delivered the meal arrived as promised.

The man took a long straw, carefully examined the situation in the tree hole, and then asked Meng Xiyao in the local dialect: "Is your friend still asleep?" ”

"Yes."

Meng Xiyao said with a sad face, the person who delivered the food felt a little strange, he got into the hole in the tree and walked straight to the side where I fainted.

He crouched in front of me: "It shouldn't be like this, in general, he should wake up this morning." ”

"Can you help me see if the toxins in his body have been completely eliminated?"

Seeing that the man was helping me check my body, Meng Xiyao took out a coconut shell from under her skirt and smashed it on the top of the man's head.

Although Meng Xiyao's strength was not very strong, he didn't realize the situation, so he struck hard from behind, obviously without any defense, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The person who was attacked was trying to stand up, and I suddenly turned around, pounced on the man, and pressed him down.

After I pressed down the person who was attacked, I said to Meng Xiyao: "Quickly take his weapon, only by taking his weapon can we control him." ”
