When Zhang Xiaohu woke up again, he didn't know how long he had been asleep, he moved his hands and feet, and didn't find anything wrong. Only then did I find myself lying flat on an apricot-yellow grass, still holding my backpack tightly in my arms. The blue sky, without a trace of clouds, looks so clean. The air is filled with a sweet scent reminiscent of a dessert house.

When he sat up, he found that there was a female classmate in red not far from him. He picked up his backpack and came to the girl, carefully turned her over, and found that she was breathing steadily, her face was ruddy, and it seemed that just like himself, this classmate was also asleep, and there was no major problem. He noticed that although the girl was unconscious, she could still see that she was beautiful and her skin was fair.

Zhang Xiaohu patted the girl's face and said softly: "Classmate, wake up!" ”

The girl slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhang Xiaohu squatting on the side, she suddenly sat up and instinctively shouted, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly felt embarrassed, and he explained: "Classmate, don't get me wrong! I saw you sleeping on the ground to wake you up, and we need to find other classmates and teachers as soon as possible. ”

The girl in red recalled all kinds of unbelievable things that happened before, and she apologized to Zhang Xiaohu with a red face, "I'm sorry, classmate, I was too nervous just now." ”

Both of them laughed at the same time, and the atmosphere relaxed suddenly. After the introduction, both parties reported each other's names, and Zhang Xiaohu knew the girl's name "Li Yichen". It was also learned that the girl was only one grade below herself.

Suddenly, the strange sweet smell appeared again, and this time Li Yichen also showed a surprised expression. The two men carefully looked around, and found that only the west side was a dense forest, with no edge in sight, and the rest of the direction was quite empty, bare, and there were not even large stones. And the aroma came from the direction of the woods.

Both of them made a gurgling sound in their stomachs, Zhang Xiaohu took out the only bread left in the backpack, and the two of them ate it separately, but after eating, they found that they were even hungrier, and the two of them rested for a while, discussed it a little, and walked towards the woods.

It was a strange wood, the trees were about five or six meters high, the blue-gray trunk was dotted with a green canopy, the trunk bark was smooth like silk, and the branches were extremely irregular, the leaves were huge, and there seemed to be liquid flowing between the veins.

Zhang Xiaohu walked under a strange tree, curiously stroked the bark, something interesting happened, only to see the place where his fingers touched, the smooth bark flowed out some pale cyan sap, and quickly solidified, the bark became more smooth and silky.

"It's a great natural coagulant." Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but praise.

"Senior, let's hurry up!" Li Yichen said.

The two of them surveyed their surroundings as they went deeper into the woods. Although the strange tree is tall, the canopy is not dense, and the light in the forest is still abundant.

Zhang Xiaohu found that the ground was apricot-yellow soil, no fallen leaves, no associated plants, and even mosquitoes could not be seen, and the silence was surprising!

"Senior, do you know how we got here?" Li Yichen couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know!" Zhang Xiaohu shook his head, "After that white light, I woke up and that's it." ”

Li Yichen stammered: "Senior, you... Say we... Can I still go home? I want to go home. After speaking, the tears in his eyes finally slipped down.

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly felt that his head was big, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't cry, let's look for the teacher and other classmates first, I think the distance should not be far." ”

Li Yichen also understood that now was not the time to cry, she exhaled deeply, adjusted her emotions, and forced out a wry smile, "Senior, I know." ”

The two of them walked in the woods for a while, and met three classmates, two men and one woman, who were sitting around and arguing. There is also Zhao Zixuan, who Zhang Xiaohu is familiar with.

"Zhao Zixuan" Zhang Xiaohu shouted loudly, ran over quickly, and pulled Zhao Zixuan up.

"Lao Zhang, it's great to see you! I'm going to be with you. Zhao Zixuan's face was also full of joy.

After inquiry, Zhang Xiaohu learned that there were originally five people in Zhao Zixuan's party, and there were two older boys, who sneaked away while they were not paying attention. The three of them were complaining to each other, blaming others for not paying attention, so they let the two seniors leave. In this unknown environment, the weak always prefer to rely on the stronger.

Zhang Xiaohu was very puzzled by the departing seniors, in this case, unity is the best way. How can you leave on your own?

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaohu expectantly, because he was the only one in the group who carried a backpack. Zhang Xiaohu understood that everyone might be hungry, he spread his hands, opened his backpack, and said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, there is nothing to eat in it, the only bread just now, Li Yichen and I have already eaten it." ”

Zhao Zixuan was slightly disappointed and asked, "Lao Zhang, then what do you say, you usually have a lot of ideas, I listen to you." ”

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about what you have first, let's summarize it and see if there is anything that can be used." He took out all the contents of his bag first, except for some changes of clothes and daily necessities, and only placed a multi-purpose saber in the inner compartment. They didn't have backpacks, and they didn't have anything useful on them. Zhang Xiaohu suddenly felt helpless, no wonder, things happened too fast, if he hadn't just put something in his backpack at that time, he wouldn't have been much better than them.

"Lao Zhang, you are really my idol, and you still carry a knife with you!" Zhao Zixuan sighed.

Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly: "My father put it on me, he said that as long as he goes out, he must carry this multi-functional knife with him in case of emergency. ”

The fragrance came again, and several people were in good spirits, and their stomachs rang one after another.

Zhang Xiaohu opened the knife, and the longest main knife was only five centimeters long, and the protective effect was weak, but it could strengthen his courage. He looked around at the crowd and said, "Let's go, don't stay here, you may find something to eat by following the taste." ”

Zhang Xiaohu and Zhao Zixuan were in the front, two girls were in the middle, and another boy named Wang Ze was at the end, and the group walked along the fragrance. Thirteen more students joined in along the way, and the most surprising thing for Zhang Xiaohu was that the senior Ma Xiao who rolled out of the roof of the car was also among them, his face was haggard and pale, and there were two male classmates supporting him left and right, and he had two deep scars on his right cheek, and his shabby clothes were also covered with dark brown bloodstains, and it seemed that he also had external injuries on his body, I don't know how it was caused. The group was divided into four small groups according to their familiarity, and Zhang Xiaohu's team was still the first five people.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the sweet taste was stronger than before. Everyone saw a small clearing not far ahead, with a large field of emerald green plants, and the sweet smell was emanating from this plant. A boy ran over quickly, sniffed it carefully, and said in a loud voice, "This is it, everyone come here." ”

These plants have two large leaves, more than a dozen centimeters long, the stems and leaves are wrapped in red stamens, some of which have withered, and at the flower disc grow seven or eight black berries the size of grapes, and this peculiar fragrance is from these berries. The source of the fragrance had been found, but everyone hesitated again, because no one recognized the plants, and they were even more unsure whether they could be eaten, and who knew what would happen if they were eaten in a hurry. For a moment, everyone had no idea.

Zhang Xiaohu was also hesitating, and suddenly he remembered the wild survival column he had watched with his father before, which seemed to have a way to identify whether plants were poisonous or not, He said: "Let's sit down for a while, I seem to have a way." He recalled, "I remember that the information showed that the black and purple fruits were basically edible. However, in order to be more safe, I recommend that you pick some berries first, apply the juice in them to your wrists, if there is no allergy for fifteen minutes; Then apply the juice to the lips, and after fifteen minutes there is no numbness, you can put the fruit in your mouth, do not swallow it, if there is still no problem, then the berry is basically ready to eat. Some of the older students shouted, "Boy, is your method working?" ”

Zhang Xiaohu ignored other people's doubts, he picked a berry, gently squeezed out a little juice, applied it to his wrist, and started the timer with his mobile phone. Some people also began to follow suit, and for a while, everyone was nervously looking at their wrists and their phones at the same time.

Forty-five minutes passed, and everyone did not feel any discomfort, and because of the sweet juice in their mouths, the sweet juice like honey also flowed in their mouths, which stimulated everyone's hunger even more. A few of the older boys grabbed a handful of berries and stuffed them in their mouths, and they began to chew on them.

This black berry tastes sweet and tastes great when you eat it. Everyone was already hungry, but they felt even sweeter when they ate it. Although the berries were not large, they were fortunate enough to be eaten and searched, and finally their stomachs were filled with seven or eight points, and everyone recovered their spirits.

Ma Xiao chewed the berries in his mouth and looked a little more energetic. With the support of his two companions, he slowly walked to Zhang Xiaohu's side, stretched out his right hand, and beckoned: "I'm Ma Xiao, your name is Zhang Xiaohu." ”

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Ma Xiao, who was covered in scars, shook his hand gently, and asked with concern, "Senior, are you okay?" ”

Ma Xiao beckoned Zhang Xiaohu to sit down and whispered, "It's okay, I can't die when I see you!" You're good! Can you still be so calm in this environment" Zhang Xiaohu was a little shy, and hurriedly asked: "Senior, you don't have to praise me, but I want to ask, what happened after you got out of the car?" Ma Xiao raised his finger and stopped: "Don't worry! I know you have a lot of questions, so let me start with you! ”
