Chapter 6: Memories of the Journey× Wonders× First Night in Ishihara

Walking on the road, Qi Yu was still worried about the little guy, thinking of the pitiful little guy, and thinking of his dead wife. From the night of the deer hunt to the present, Qi Yu remembered more things from the past.

Qi Yu himself is an ordinary person, and he feels that his greatest luck is to marry his deceased wife and bring him a little one. Although he is an ordinary company employee, his income is not high, but he is happy and happy in his family, and he is very self-satisfied.

Qi Yu usually doesn't like to socialize, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend, but when he went on a blind date with the daughter of his mother's old colleague, the beautiful woman opposite dropped her chopsticks after eating a small half bowl of rice, saying that she was so full, but her eyes were dripping and looking at the delicacies on the table that didn't move much, and she swallowed her saliva desperately.

At that time, he didn't say anything, he directly took the bowl in front of the beauty to serve the dishes, and said that he was not polite, and then he was looked at by the future mother-in-law and his wife, and got married in less than two months.

Then the second greatest luck of his life was born. The son has completely absorbed the advantages of him and his wife, her eyebrows are clear, his carefulness is lovely, and the little guy has become his greatest pride. After having Qi Ji, his wife went abroad for more inspections because of work, and when his wife disappeared in the Pacific Ocean when she came back from a foreign investigation, only Qi Ji accompanied him to coax him.

Now he pleads for more luck to protect the safety of his family, including the couple's best friend and son's good uncle, Mark. Qi Yu decided that after finding Mark, he would take the little guy back to China, although the visa had not expired, it was better to have it early. Every time something happens to this little wrecking ball, no matter inside or outside, his home country will always extend a warm and safe embrace to her children at the first time, and I believe this time is no exception.

Qi Yu's heart is getting brighter and brighter, and the road ahead is getting wider and wider. Walking out of the forest, Qi Yu showed a confused look.

The boundless light mist in front of him filled the sky and the earth, blending with the black, gray, white and cold clouds overhead, and there was no further sight in sight. Even if Qi Yu knew that the forest was behind him, after walking thirty or forty meters forward, the forest behind him became shadowy, as if he had been entered into another world.

The land where the snow forest is located behind Qi Yu is clearly distinct from Ishihara. There is snow and fallen leaves on the ground of the forest, and when you cross the line to Ishihara, it becomes countless stone rice of different sizes, boundless, black and gray stone rice.

Qi Yu's mind went blank, where was this. Qi Yu didn't know the world in front of him at all, going backwards, left and right, running desperately, always unable to find something familiar.

In Qi Yu's memory fragments, out of the forest, it should be a flat and wide road. The road, though a little shabby, is still a popular spot for the town's lads to take their girlfriends for a ride. It's understandable that it's cold and there are no cars coming and going, after all, who will be in the mood to go for a ride here after that incident. But the whole road is gone, which is a very ridiculous but yet present fact.

Qi Yu was a little confused, so, or did his memory go wrong? I found the road and walked south for most of the day, and I estimated that I could get to the town. I can't find the road, go south, can I get back to town? What's more, finding the south direction in the dense fog is a problem in itself.

Qi Yu couldn't figure out the situation in front of him, so he could only take one step at a time, inserted the antler short spear into the gap in the backpack, and picked up the bow and arrow, after hunting the deer, Qi Yu was still somewhat confident.

According to common sense, if you can shoot from a distance, you don't need to fight in close combat, and in his current situation, a distance of thirty or forty meters can still be reflected. At this distance, if he really encountered an enemy who he couldn't react to, the antler spear in his hand would be useless, so it was better to drop something and run away.

Qi Yu walked as far as he could see the woods, and walked along the dividing line between the woods and the stone plain towards the south of his memory.

Walking on the dividing line, a wonderful scene appeared in front of Qi Yu's eyes, the sea of fog surrounded Qi Yu, but he never crossed the dividing line and went into the forest. Qi Yu walked around and found more strange things. The stone rice is not a shallow layer, and when he was resting halfway, Qi Yu dug under the stone plain with a deer antler short spear, and the stone rice had not yet touched the bottom after digging the knee, and there was neither the stone layer he imagined nor the soil below, only the black stone rice that could not be dug to the end.

In the end, Qi Yu sighed helplessly and gave up the exploration. But if Qi Ji was still still there, she would definitely be happy to see such a strange Ishihara, according to the scale of her friends in the industry, it must be a building-like 666 effect. It's just that if you want to appear in the photo, what pose should you pose with her? Will the fingers be too dirty than the heart?

It was already getting late, and Qi Yu decided to rest here for one night before leaving. Strange to say, the temperature on Ishihara has risen a lot, and it is estimated that it looks like three or four o'clock in the sky, and the temperature in Ishihara has also dropped, but it is still much higher than the temperature in the snow forest.

In the snow forest, ice can be hung on the hair of his eyes at night, and his breath can frost on his face, if Qi Yu is in a hurry to come out of the forest at night, he will definitely freeze to death in the dark at yesterday's speed, if he doesn't stop and build a shed to make a fire, he won't be here today. Now it is not far from the boundary between Yukihara and Ishihara, so it is easy to get firewood and water, and it is not windy or snowy, so you can survive a night with a fire.

The surrounding fog became thick from thin to thick, condensing into moist and translucent water on Qi Yu's body, as if smeared with a layer of oil in the faint light of the sky. The thick stone rice on the ground was soaked with condensed droplets, and it became deep and black. I don't know when the fog drifted across the dividing line between the forest and the Ishihara, and the clouds rushed over, and the snow fell in the forest. Above the dividing line, a white curtain of fog on one side and snow on the other, stirred and intertwined with each other like two curtains plucked by invisible hands.

Qi Yu looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and sighed that this world was amazing.

After being busy for a while, Qi Yu finally caught up with a pothole on the stone plain before it got dark, and ran a few times to the snow forest to find a lot of materials for making a fire. Anyone who has ever played in the sand knows that digging a pit in the sand can't be dug deep because the sand will slip off. It's the same here, it's just that Qi Yu uses his backpack and branches as walls to block most of the stone rice that has been hollowed out and then re-sliding, which is much easier.

Leaning on the horizontal backpack, Qi Yu sat down, took a long breath, and took a sip of water.

In front of him was the fruit of more than an hour of his labor, a waist-deep stone pit one meter square. Excavated stones are piled up around the pit, which adds to the depth of the pit.

When Qi Yu was digging the pit, he had already lit a fire next to it, and after the pit was dug, the initial flames of the fire had been extinguished, and the fire was full of quietly burning charcoal. Fire can keep out wild beasts, but it can also attract unknown things in the busy night.

Before Qi Yu sat down to rest, he moved the surrounding charcoal into the pit. Try to spread dry firewood underneath, and burn the charcoal pile on top of it, so that there will be no big smoke. He also got some wood ash from the fire and sprinkled it on the charcoal, which made the charcoal burn even more slowly.

Looking at it from a distance, I couldn't see what was going on in the pit. The pit itself has a certain depth, and Qi Yu deliberately left only charcoal, and there was no big fire. You will only notice it when you look closer during the day.

Make a fire, it's already completely dark. A thin layer of frost had formed on the stone rice. It was warm in the pit where Qi Yu was resting. Under the gray wood ash, the charcoal was burning happily, the carbon pile was too big, and Qi Yu deliberately watered some of the surroundings, so that it would not burn too quickly.

The night went well. Qi Yu was roasting the fire in his spare time, thinking that when he was a child, he would go back to his hometown with his parents, and he and his friends would make a sweet potato cellar and corn cellar in the field to make a charcoal stew. At the end of the burning, the cellar head is opened, the roasted sweet potatoes and corn are taken out, and the sweetness and happiness are shared in the coaxing of the playmates.

Qi Yu recalled the past, playing with a bottle in his hand carelessly, the bottle was empty, and the last accelerant was used up to make a fire. Qi Yu hopes that the next day's trip will go smoothly, so there will be no need to toss in this wilderness. He was so well prepared, he had lived so hard, and he had to endure the hardships he had to endure again before leaving. And there are no trees on the stone plain, and the accelerant is gone, how far can he go in this weather.

Hopefully tomorrow we can find Mark and find the town, so that the way back to the fort will be more secure.

Miscellaneous things, Qi Yu thought for a long time, and at this time, the carbon pile was completely buried by the burned ashes. The light of the fire was very weak, Qi Yu reluctantly sorted out the clothes, shoes and luggage pit on his body, filled it with drinking water, ate something and lay down on his side to sleep on his luggage.

The stone rice on the ground will not be as intimidating as a large stone, nor will it burrow into the cracks of people's clothes like sand, which is surprisingly comfortable. The heat wave of the charcoal fire in the pile will not be very hot, but it will evenly exude the energy to stop the cold and protect Qi Yu.

Qi Yu slept very soundly, one hand drooped on the outermost part of the carbon pile that had not yet burned, so that when the charcoal fire burned to the end of the epitaxy, he could be stimulated to wake up in time, maybe the journey was about to be clear, maybe he met something in a dream, Qi Yu slept extremely sweetly.

The night on Ishihara was completely dark, without any light. Qi Yu's prediction was right, even if he looked closely, there was only a hazy trace of charcoal, not to mention how far he could see in the fog.

After an unknown few hours, the darkness was finally broken by a few bursts of white light in the distance. The white light seemed to be very, very far away, and no sound came. After the flash of white light, on the stone plain not far from the pothole, there was the sound of a squeezing rope, the sound of something stepping on the stone rice, the sound was slightly fluttering, and then a strange sound was added, it was a soothing and continuous long note and a short dull short sound, the two alternated with each other for a while, and then the surroundings fell silent again.
