Chapter 14: Descending the Mountain
When I woke up in the morning, it was already past eight o'clock, and Liu Dongfu got some meat from nowhere and roasted it on the fire. I got up and moved my sore body to watch Liu stuff busy working, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart Sure enough, people often do this job with good physical strength, and it is also a toss, looking at him is no problem, I still feel tired after sleeping for so long.
I was very interested in that Yonghe, so I said hello to Liu and walked over to have a look. Not far behind the tree were a few very luxuriant bushes, and the ground was gravel, and occasionally a few grasses, leaving no trace, and I had the heart to look behind the bushes, but the bushes were so luxuriant that I did not dare to act rashly, so I had to give up.
At this time, Liu Dongfu had already packed up his breakfast and called me over there. I looked over and saw that it was two roasted birds, and I didn't ask anything more, I sat down and ate them, but I was thinking about what to do next.
Before he could think about it, Liu Shixin spoke first, "Brother An, what should we do next." ”
I said in my heart that this is all for us, and I asked him angrily, "What do you think?" ”
Liu Dongxi said: "This place was forbidden by the ancients, and you can't get in from the mountain, and I guess you can't get out from the inside." There is no mention in the ancestors' notes about how to get out of trouble, and we want to get out, but I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”
As soon as I heard him say this, my heart was depressed, I thought there was some good idea, wasn't this just adding to the blockage?
Liu Shifu saw that I didn't answer him, smiled and continued.
"I think that if we want to go out, we have to go to the Danfang and walk through the places where the ancestors walked back then, and see what clues can be found."
I listened to what he said seriously, and thought about it along his train of thought, and felt that it did make sense, although Liu Shiwu must have saved the heart to get the pill, but looking at the current situation, this is also the only feasible way.
So I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just go like this, but I have to say ugly things in front, if you really remember that I saved your life, give me an honest don't play any tricks, and turn yourself in with me when you go out, I will definitely protect you." ”
Liu Dongxi thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Brother An, you say so, I naturally have nothing to say, although my Liu Dongxi's name is indecent, but I have never done any ungrateful ugly things in my life." In order to save me from this situation, I will naturally try my best to keep you out, and after you get out, if I surrender with you, I will have to trouble you to go to my house. ”
As soon as I heard about it, it was easy to do! Isn't it just to deliver a medicine? Naturally, yes.
Liu Dongxi said again: "There are some things that I have to explain to you in advance, and some other things, I definitely can't compare to you, but you definitely don't have as much experience as me in the way of searching for secrets." Along the way, you have to listen to my command and don't act on your own. ”
I saw that he was sincere, and it was indeed reasonable to think about it, so I nodded and agreed. There was nothing to say at the moment, the two of them had their own thoughts, silently finished breakfast, packed up their things and prepared to leave.
While I was sleeping, Liu made a lot of preparations. Since most of Liu Dongxi's previous equipment has been lost, the shovel used to hit me was also lost by the lake, and I was stuffed in the belt of police equipment because my things were stuffed, and the preservation was quite complete, but after all, it was not enough for two people to survive in this deep mountain. So Liu Dongxi made some simple weapons from local materials, cut out blunt tips from two branches the thickness of a ping-pong ball, buried them in the extinguished coals, and roasted them hard to make a short spear of about one and a half meters. I chose a straight and elastic bush branch and made a simple bow from the hamstring of the wild boar I ate yesterday, and made arrow feathers from this morning's bird feathers. I played with these things, and couldn't help but admire the good craftsmanship of Master Liu, although the materials were simple, but at first glance they were good things with lethality, especially the tips of the arrows and spears, although they could not be said to be sharp because of the limitations of the materials, but the roasted resin condensed evenly on the carbonized wood surface, still showed a strong confidence in piercing the tough fur of the beast.
I don't know how to bow and arrow, so I chose a spear, still hung up the equipment of the individual police, groped around for a long time, and a few compressed biscuits were still there, and saw that there was no movement in the police pass. Looking at Liu Shi again, he was already wearing a coarse cloth overalls worn in the workshop, the cuffs and trousers were tied tightly with strips of cloth, and he was still wearing the kind of suede shoes worn by welders that kicked dead cows, and he didn't know where he got them.
The two of them hung up, Liu stuffed the fire into the flashlight that had removed the battery, added some dry bark that was kneaded to the point that only the fibers were left, and made a simple fire fold, then extinguished the fire and chose a direction to go down the mountain.
I saw that he walked without hesitation, and knew that he should have seen the direction a long time ago, and immediately followed.
The night's sleep allowed me to regain most of my energy, and the way down the mountain was not very difficult, and if I didn't think about the threat of the beast and the unknown future, I was in a good mood. After all, it's nice to be out in the wild in such nice weather.
Soon, however, the route of this easy outing changed, and halfway down the mountain, it was already full of humus mud that had sunk to your ankles as soon as you stepped down, and there were no stones to tread. The trees gradually became thicker and a little unreal, and as far as the eye could see, the big trees hugged by six or seven people could be seen everywhere, and the branches and leaves covered the sky and the sun, and the shade was thick everywhere, as if it was dusk. But fortunately, these big trees shaded the sun, and there were not many annoying shrubs growing in the forest, which also reduced a lot of trouble for us. As far as the eye can see, there are stout tree trunks, which block it like a short wall, making people feel like they are stuck in a labyrinth, and they can't tell the direction at all.
In fact, there are two things I am most worried about at this time, one is that my wife has not come back yet, I am afraid that I don't know the news of my disappearance, I hope I can go back before she goes home, so as not to be frightened. The other is that this time I will be punished, and if I don't get it right, I will be expelled, and I have to do something to avoid starvation. Later, I couldn't help but laugh at my childish mentality at this time, and it seemed that it was very reasonable to be born in sorrow and die in peace. People have been comfortable for a long time, but when the crisis comes, not only is they slow to react, but even their understanding of the crisis is much worse.
After walking for about four or five hours, Liu Dongxi stopped and said that he wanted to take a rest, I saw that he didn't look tired at all, and I knew that he was here to let me rest and rest, and I was secretly ashamed. Actually, I can't hold it anymore, I'm just embarrassed to say. Walking in such a place is easy to get tired, and I have always been wary of whether there is an ambush beast behind the tree, and my body has not recovered well, so I am already tired and dizzy at this time.
I sat down against a tree and took out the water to drink. The water bladder was made by Liu Shiwu himself with a raincoat, and the side seams were coated with glass glue, which was barely water-leaking. Liu Dongxi said that he went up to take a look, and like a monkey, he went up the tree slippery.
I sat at the foot of the tree and felt very comfortable, and although the smell of rotting branches and leaves lingered on the tip of my nose, it seemed a great happiness to be able to sit down and take a sip of water after walking for so long. I clutched the spear in my hand, and poked at the dirt underneath for a while, thinking that this guy might really be a monkey, with a few toes wasted, walking with a limp, and climbing walls and trees so quickly, not doing this business is indeed burying talents. I looked up at him, and saw the branches and leaves swaying, and from time to time there was a ray of sunlight, and this guy seemed to have climbed to the treetops.
I looked at the swaying branches, and suddenly I had a very inappropriate feeling in my heart.
Something is not quite right!
