Milk candy is a beast in the end, it is much more energetic at night than during the day, Dong Lang was worried that the milk candy would not be able to keep up with the team the next day if he did not rest, and there was nothing to do, so he tried to hypnotize the milk candy, but he didn't expect it to work, and the milk candy curled up at his feet and fell asleep after a while.

In the silent night, the sharp chirping of birds and beasts was particularly harsh, and even if Dong Lang was bold, he couldn't help but feel a cold sweat behind him.

When he got up, Ah Wu took the initiative to change Dong Lang's post, Dong Lang didn't feel sleepy at all, so he said, "Why don't you go to sleep for a while?" I could hold on a little longer. ”

"You'd better go sleep for a while, if you can't recuperate, it will affect your journey tomorrow."

Dong Lang thought about it, so he got into the tent and forced himself to close his eyes.

Thinking that he is a straight man, he has always been able to breathe out with his eyes closed, and there are even times when he has insomnia, which shows how much pressure there is in his heart.

Qu Xiaobai woke up when she was young, and looked at the sky, it was still pitch black, she fed An An, put An An to sleep, and got out of the tent, and the people who kept vigil outside had been replaced by Ah Liu.

"Little housewife, why did you get up so early?"

"It's not early, it's already early, maybe because of the relationship in the forest, the light is blocked."

"What's the matter, am I going to wake everyone up now?"

Qu Xiaobai shook his hand, "I can't rush when I scream, it's too dark, you can go and rest for a while, I'll make you a breakfast, and everyone will get up and eat in a while before leaving." ”

"I'm not sleepy, I'll make breakfast, little master, your body has just recovered, it's better to rest more."

"I'm fine. There are little miracle doctors and Lao Yun staring at me every day, and it is food and medicine for me, and it has been well for a long time. ”

Qu Xiaobai washed up and began to make breakfast. Although the conditions were difficult, it was still necessary to eat as well as possible to ensure that the physical strength was rushed.

Qu Xiaobai tore the leftover roast venison from last night into shredded meat, added a few handfuls of rice, put it in the iron pot, poured water, Ah Liu blew the fire again, sat the pot on the fire, and after a while, the pot was bubbling and fragrant. A little bit of fireworks also made this difficult journey less depressing.

Ah Liu smiled: "We don't seem to be in a hurry, but like a picnic." ”

Qu Xiaobai put a few baked cakes on the stones by the fire and simmered, and said with a smile: "No matter how hard it is, you must learn to have fun in hardship, so that life will not be hopeless." ”

"Little master, this is how you and the Lord have had fun in the most difficult times, right?"

"Well, when we first started, we didn't even have a grain of rice, or I took your foolish master to Yang Xingmao's house and robbed a bag of rice, otherwise, we would all starve to death."

Ah Liu was very emotional, "Even though we are in Nanping, it is really our fault to let the Lord and you suffer like this." ”

"It's a shame that you don't know, if you knew, your lord wouldn't have been exposed a long time ago, and he hadn't returned to normal at that time, and he would have been destroyed in minutes."

"Minutes?" As an intelligence person, Ah Liu is keenly aware of the new words in Qu Xiao's vernacular.

"Oh, that means fast. Sixth Master, you heat up the leftover barbecue and eat it in the baked cake for a while. Qu Xiaobai didn't want to explain too much, and planned to mix it up.

Ah Liu cleverly didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly went to tinker with the barbecue.

The aroma of rice porridge caused everyone to wake up one after another, get up and wash up, eat breakfast, and then embark on the journey again.

The river that Qu Xiaobai saw in the video last night looked not far away, but when he actually walked, it was the distance of Wangshan running a dead horse, and the group had been walking in the dense forest for a day, and the vegetation on the ground began to change, and there were more water-loving vegetation on the ground, which looked like some aquatic ferns, and the trees were mostly aquatic trees.

Those tall trees can't even be named, there are lush vines growing between the trees, the cobwebs on the rattan plants, the spiders hanging on the cobwebs, the big ones are as big as fists, and the small ones are as big as copper plates, all of them look bells and whistles, and I don't know if they are highly poisonous, Dong Lang told everyone to avoid them, and everyone knows that this trip is a task, not an adventure, so they try not to provoke them.

In addition to spiders, there are many unknown insects and beasts, which from time to time swarm in front of them or fly or run by, probably not taking humans into account at all, and they do not hurt people. It's a blessing.

It was toffee, running around in the forest, driving the flying insects and beasts to flee for their lives.

After walking forward for a while, shallow water appeared on the ground, Ah Wu spread out the map and looked at it, and said, "Go a little further, it should be the river." ”

Ah Liu asked, "Is the river wide?" ”

Ah Wu glanced at the beach in front of him, under his feet, just enough to cross the horse's hooves, and he couldn't see the edge ahead, and he couldn't explore the depth for the time being, he turned around and discussed with Qu Xiaobai: "Little master, it's not early, and the situation in front is not familiar, it seems that you can't cross the river tonight." I will go to the front to find out the situation, and then you will retreat and set up camp in a place where there is no water, and then we will discuss tomorrow's journey when I return. ”

Qu Xiaobai promised: "You bring the toffee, if there is danger, you and the toffee can take care of each other, let's find a place to settle down first." I didn't worry about him, so I instructed again: "Go early and return early, and try not to go into danger alone." ”

Ah Wu urged the horse to explore the way, and Qu Xiaobai and everyone walked back for about two or three miles, found a land that was about to dry, and began to set up a tent.

Qu Xiaobai held An An on the side to command, An An had just woken up, looking at everything around curiously with dark eyes, and babbling from time to time, which made Qu Xiaobai kiss and pinch him.

Speaking of which, for two days in a row, An An's performance was superb, she didn't cry much, she slept peacefully, and her body did not feel unwell, which is undoubtedly the most gratifying thing.

Qu Xiaobai is also full of confidence in getting out of this reckless primeval forest.

Ah Liu and Dong Lang set up a tent, Qu Xiaobai went to feed An An in the tent, and Ah Liu and Dong Lang exchanged views on tomorrow's itinerary while lighting a fire.

The two men estimated the worst-case scenario, if the water was too deep, they would have to cut down trees and build rafts across the river, in which case they would have to abandon the horses, and without horses, they would have to go on foot, which would be even more difficult.

Along the way, the horse was not only a means of transportation, but also carried all their equipment, and if they abandoned the horse, some preparations, such as tents and other large objects, would inevitably be thrown away.

When the two of them thought about this, they couldn't help but worry.

Qu Xiaobai fed An An, carried him out and sat down in front of the bonfire.

The sky is much darker than just now, the forest here is sparse compared to the forest last night, at least you can see one or two sparse stars in the sky when you look up, Qu Xiaobai and Foolish compared the hour, it is already the end of the unitary hour, she is not very worried Ah Wu, she wants Ah Liu to go over and take a look, just as she is talking, there is a wolf howl in her ears, Ah Liu said: "It sounds like the sound of toffee, Xu is the fifth brother is back, wait a moment." ”

Milk Candy's voice sounded excited, not like the sound of encountering danger, Qu Xiaobai nodded and agreed with Ah Liu's opinion.

But the sound of toffee is still far away, it sounds, at least three miles away, another high-pitched long howl sounded, startling the forest for a while, a large number of resident birds flew overhead, and the beasts in the forest were also frightened away, as if fleeing.

Qu Xiaobai couldn't help laughing: "Stinky toffee, it's too naughty." ”

Ah Liudao: "I heard the Lord say that the snow wolf is the king of beasts, and it seems to be true. ”

"The King of the Beasts isn't likely, but he's pretty powerful. Nature gives birth to all things, all things are mutually reinforcing, and toffee is not without natural enemies after all. Dong Lang said it right.

Qu Xiaobai said: "You are a doctor, and you have studied yin and yang gossip?" ”

"What am I doing studying that thing? I'm just talking about the conclusions drawn from pharmacology. The poison in the world, even if it is poisonous, has an antidote to restrain it. Of course, the premise is that you have to wait for the antidote, some poison, and after eating it, you will burp on the spot, and it doesn't matter if you have an antidote or not. ”

While speaking, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and before the shadows of horses and people were gone, I first saw a white shadow jump back, jumped on the fire, jumped to Qu Xiaobai's side, and pulled the corners of her clothes with her mouth flatteringly.

Qu Xiaobai touched its head, took a piece of leftover barbecue and threw it to it, "Go eat it." ”

After a while, Ah Wu also returned to the camp, his body was drenched with water, and he was wet until he was waist-high, Qu Xiaobai hurriedly let the place come out, "You went into the water?" Go and change your clothes and bake them. ”

Ah Wu wrung a handful of water on his clothes, went to the tent to change his clothes, came out after changing his clothes, found a wooden stick to pick up the wet clothes and roasted them on the fire, and then sat down and said, "I went in for more than a mile, and then inside, the water was very deep, and I had to cross the river on a raft." Fortunately, the current is not very turbulent and should not be dangerous. ”

Ah Liu said puzzledly: "Then you can only throw the horse here." ”

Ah Wu nodded: "That's all it takes." He turned around and asked Qu Xiaobai: "Little master, what do you think?" ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "Let's go cut some wood after dinner, we have a lot of people, I'm afraid that the small raft will not work, we have to get a bigger one, early tomorrow morning, we will cross the river after it is tied...... In fact, it is best to use bamboo, but I have never encountered a single bamboo along the way. ”

Ah Wu said: "This is not difficult, when I came back, I saw the big aquatic trees in front, although it is not hollow, but the wood is very light, and it is very tough like bamboo, and it is the best to tie a raft." ”

Everyone is very happy, this is called the road of heaven and earth!

After dinner, Luoluo packed up her things, Dong Lang stayed behind to guard the women and children, and Ah Wu and Ah Liu took an axe and saw to cut down trees.

Qu Xiaobai had expected that there would be a river, so these tools were all on the list. Make the best use of it, but fortunately there is a good preparation.
