Chapter 307: Towering Trees

Yang Lei said and took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the cigarette with both hands in his hands, took a deep puff of the cigarette and then spit it out: "Later, the black-framed glasses... What's the name, oh yes, Chu Pingqiu. He noticed that something was wrong, saying that the size of these pythons had exceeded the normal size, and their behavior was also seriously contrary to the normal habits of pythons, so he left the place hastily with all of us that day. ”

Yang Lei exhaled a long breath, and the gray-white smoke spewed out a faint straight line from Yang Lei's nostrils, he clamped the cigarette to his fingers, gently leaned his palm on the knee of his thigh, and continued: "Later, after settling down in a new place, there was no whereabouts of you after another day, so everyone thought about finding you separately." ”

Yang Lei shook off a small piece of cigarette ash burned out with his index finger, and the falling ash disintegrated and fluttered in mid-air, sinking into the grass next to Yang Lei's feet.

"On the first day of looking for you, we went back to this clearing, and we wanted to clean up the tent that we didn't have time to pack that day, but we were all stunned to see that scene. The python has crawled all over the clearing, large and small pythons, that scene makes people shudder! Yang Lei took another puff of the cigarette in his mouth, "Later, we went to the camp where we stayed before, but there was no whereabouts of you." ”

"Today I came out alone to find you, and by the way, I collected some mandalas for Chu Pingqiu. I was halfway down when I heard an explosion, and I thought it was definitely you, so I ran over and saw you being attacked by monsters. ”

Yang Lei said and turned his head to look at Liang Cheng: "I said, where have you been in the past few days?" ”

"I don't know if you've ever noticed the ravine next to the first camp we were stationed." Liang Cheng gently picked up the dandelion petals that had fallen on Chen Xiaojing's face, and slowly rotated them in his hand, "That place is where we were trapped two days ago. ”

"The monster you see is the giant python, and in that ravine, there is far more than one giant python of this size, and some are even bigger than this giant python. Later, he also met the king of pythons. But we got away with it. In the end, you were saved in front of that cave. Liang Cheng roughly described what happened in the past two days to Yang Lei. Yang Lei nodded thoughtfully.

"So that the hole ** is connected to the python's nest?" Yang Lei said.

Liang Cheng nodded: "However, the only stone bridge that can be connected to the snake den has been destroyed. ”

Yang Lei thought for a moment and then said, "What about the ravine?" ”

"It's also blocked."

Yang Lei nodded again, his eyes wandered between Liang Cheng and Zhao Youyu for a while, and suddenly asked in a slightly strange tone: "You just said that there are three people, but what about another person?" ”

Liang Cheng silently lowered his head.

Yang Lei saw that Liang Cheng lowered his head and stopped talking, and guessed a little, so he didn't ask anymore.

Yang Lei slowly put the cigarette to his mouth and took a puff gently, and then slowly exhaled: "A person's life is to live for a breath, and if a breath is gone, a life will be gone." ”

Yang Lei said and took out a cigarette from his pocket again, and then lit it with a lighter. Yang Lei used his rough fingers to poke a hole in the ground next to the campfire, inserted the lit cigarette upside down into the hole, and then buried the lower end of the cigarette with soil.

"Go in peace... Chen Qi..."Liang Cheng thought silently in his heart. Fingers slid over Chen Xiaojing's cold cheeks, only to find that a crystal teardrop was slowly sliding down the corner of Chen Xiaojing's eyes.

In the afternoon, Zhao Youyu was lying on the grass and was already asleep. Two days of extreme physical exhaustion and repeated cracking of wounds made this resolute man a little haggard.

When Liang Cheng recounted his experience in the past few days, Yang Lei also conducted a rough examination of Zhao Youyu's injuries. Zhao Youyu's previous wound penetrated by the bullet still could not heal due to the extreme contraction and expansion of the abdominal muscles during the two battles, and the muscle tissue around the wound had begun to fester, and the wound had begun to suppurate and become bloated due to bacterial infection.

"The mandala flower has a good medicinal effect, its petals can be used in the production of anesthetics, which has a good effect on pain relief and swelling, and the seed coat of its seeds can treat the injury of falls." Yang Lei said to Liang Cheng while leaning over to pick and collect the mandala, "And the infection on Zhao Youyu's body can also be cured with the stems and leaves of the mandala, which can treat fistulas and pus suction, and also greatly help to stimulate the growth of granulations." ”

Liang Cheng listened to Yang Lei quietly, leaned down and squatted down, stroking a mandala pink smooth and soft petal with his hand. This beautiful but dangerous little flower in front of me is the best testimony of everything that happened in this open space - from the first arrival of Liang Cheng and Kull, to the relocation due to Chen Qi's threat, to Chen Xiaojing's farewell that day, to the death of Chen Qi and Chen Xiaojing's coma... But now everything has turned into this beautiful little flower in front of me.

The breeze swept through the tranquil clearing, the grass rippled, the leaves made a soft sound, and everything seemed so peaceful. And under this seemingly peaceful atmosphere, there are many unknown sinisters hidden.

After a long time, Yang Lei straightened up, and the bag in his hand was full of mandala flowers: "Let's go back to the camp." ”

"Let's go." Liang Cheng nodded slightly.

Carrying Chen Xiaojing from the ground again, Chen Xiaojing's soft body quietly pounced on Liang Cheng's back.

"Brother Yukong." Liang Cheng walked to Zhao You's side and called him, and as soon as the voice fell, he opened his eyes coldly.

"You... Didn't you fall asleep? Liang Cheng was slightly taken aback.

"Just woke up." Zhao Youyan stood up from the ground, patted the grass on his back, and asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

Liang Cheng nodded.

So Yang Lei took us out of the open space.

Skirting the groves and following a dense stretch of towering trees, we soon descended into the belly of this ancient primeval forest.

We were surrounded by large, tall, erect hundred-year-old trees, all of which were much older than our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers. The harsh afternoon sunlight could only penetrate through the gaps in the thick canopy overhead, forming bright pillars of light in the darkness held up by the trees, and some sunlight that did not reach could only dance on the tips of the trees.

This is undoubtedly a huge natural oxygen bar shaded by dense greenery.

The air in the forest is very shady, moist and with the characteristic sweet smell of herbs, it is exceptionally fresh, and the smell of wet vanilla at the feet is refreshing. On the ground, there are a variety of dense perennial herbaceous plants, lush and verdant. Among these strange herbaceous plants, some unknown small flowers are beautiful and beautiful, and they have no time for our gaze.

The air in the forest is very humid, and the deeper you go, the darker the light becomes. I felt like a slight drizzle was falling in front of me.
