CHAPTER IX

The rugged mountain road was really difficult to walk, and our group was already sweating profusely after walking out for more than 20 minutes.

Except for me, Ah Kai, and Liu Tong, the rest of the people were all crying and crying.

My backpack was small, and although it was a bit heavy, it was really much lighter than their half-human tall bag, so although I was a little tired, it was still very relaxed overall.

Ah Kai's backpack is the largest and most exaggerated, but he is the fastest to walk, and he can't see the feeling of strength at all. Sure enough, for Ah Kai, who is a physical education department, climbing a mountain with weights or something is a piece of cake.

And Liu Tong too, her face did not change and her heart did not beat, she looked at the surrounding scenery while walking, cheering and jumping, I really couldn't see that she was so physically strong.

I followed behind the two of them, reminding the people behind me not to be left behind, and at the same time shouting at the two people in front of me to slow down.

I don't know how long I walked like this, the sun has already set, and it is getting darker and darker, but we still haven't found Wangjia Village, a thin layer of white fog has gradually appeared in the forests in the mountains, and the thickness of the fog has gradually increased.

"I can't do it anymore, rest, take a break!" The secretary gasped, threw away his backpack, sat down on a large rock on the side of the road, and continued: "What are these two kilometers? I feel like I've been walking almost 20 kilometers, but if you look at this mountain road, there is no head to walk, I think we are lost? ”

When everyone heard what the secretary said, they panicked, and Lili was directly scared and cried.

I turned on my flashlight and shone it around, but I don't know when, the white fog in the forest was so thick that I couldn't even see it about 10 meters away, and it was obvious that the white fog was producing much faster than we thought.

I also looked at Ah Kai with a panicked face, wanting to see if there was anything he could do.

Unexpectedly, Ah Kai just took out a large pack of PM2.5 masks from his bag and distributed them to us, and he also brought one himself, and then said to us: "Bring all the masks, this is not fog, it is miasma, poisonous, if you smoke too much, you may hallucinate or directly paralyze the respiratory nervous system, and it will kill people." ”

We listened to Ah Kai's words and quickly put on masks, I don't know if it's because Ah Kai just said that the miasma is poisonous, so it has a psychological effect, I suddenly feel that my throat seems to become sweet and itchy, and I want to cough in particular, but I can't cough it out.

After Ah Kai put the rest of the mask back in his backpack, he continued: "This mask can only simply filter the air, I don't know if it has an effect on the miasma, if you see something strange for a while, don't act rashly, it is likely to be a hallucination." ”

Secretary Wang was wearing a mask at this time, and said weakly: "Let's not talk about whether the mask is useful or not, I feel that I can't breathe now!" It's good now, either you will be poisoned or suffocated. What kind of tourism is this? Because he was wearing a mask, his voice sounded very muffled, and he really felt like he was about to suffocate.

Zhao Xiaodong listened to the secretary's words, kicked him, and scolded loudly in a very muffled voice: "Can you fucking stop pulling your mother's eggs here, you want to die, you fucking die by yourself, no one will stop you." ”

The secretary was not happy when he heard it, and said excitedly: "Bah, don't fuck me here, fuck, if you don't say it out to play, you can see the girls wearing swimsuits, we can get lost in this hellish place?" Look at the good road you lead, what kind of egg captain are you? ”

Zhao Xiaodong was speechless by the secretary, and he gritted his teeth in anger, and I could clearly hear the "clucking" sound of his teeth while wearing a mask.

"Lao Tzu strangled you!" Zhao Xiaodong shouted, jumped up and pounced on Secretary Wang, and choked his neck, Secretary Wang did not show weakness, and hit Zhao Xiaodong's head with his fist.

"Ah, don't fight." Lili's best friend was already so frightened that her legs trembled at this time, and when she saw the secretary and Xiaodong fighting, she panicked even more, and began to cry when she screamed.

Lili and her best friends, the three of them hugged each other and cried profusely. Zhao Xiaodong and Zhao Xiaodong, who were scuffling together on the ground, were even more inseparable, I looked at this chaotic scene, I didn't know what to do, and my brain was blank.

At this time, Liu Tong grabbed the corner of my clothes from behind, and said weakly, "Wu Ping, what should I do?" I'm so scared! ”

I looked at Liu Tong, who was also panicked, gritted my teeth, and didn't speak.

What to do, what should I do? At this moment, I am terrified. Mentally scolding myself for being useless, at this time, all I can think of is to escape, my mother said, I have to run away when I encounter danger, but at this moment, I don't even know where to run away!

After the two screams of "ah, ah......", Zhao Xiaodong, who was scuffling together, stopped scolding and shouting. I took my eyes off Liu Tong and looked at the two of them.

Ah Kai was standing between the two of them, one in each hand, and grabbed their arms. The two people who were caught by Ah Kai writhed their bodies in pain, trying to break free, but no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't break free.

"You guys stop messing around, it's not anyone's fault when you encounter such a situation, if you continue like this, it will only make the situation worse and worse, from now on, everything will listen to me!" With that, Kai let go of the hand that grabbed the two of them.

"Listen to you? What can you do? Zhao Xiaodong rubbed the arm he had just been grabbed by Ah Kai, frowning, it seemed that it hurt to be scratched by Ah Kai. The secretary is the same, exaggerated to squat on the ground, out of a cold sweat!

Ah Kai glanced at the increasingly intense miasma around him, and then looked at us who were frightened and overwhelmed, and shook his head helplessly.

Ah Kai took out a cigarette and a lighter, thought for a moment that he was wearing a mask now, and was deep in the miasma, so he put the cigarette back again, thought for a while and said to us: "Now the only thing we can do is to find a way to survive this night, and when the sun comes out, the miasma will volatilize when it meets the sun, everyone first tidy up the backpack and see if there is anything that can be used to make a fire, and the miasma around us can also be dispersed with fire, without the miasma, we just need to stay up until dawn, and we can find a way to get out of the predicament." ”

We wanted to take the local materials, but we searched and searched, and the grass around us was so tender that it could not be used to make a fire, and the trees nearby were very tall and we couldn't go up at all, and even if we cut down a few branches, which were fresh branches that had just been cut from the trees, they would not burn so easily, and one or two would definitely not be enough, and it would be extremely dangerous to scatter in such a fog to find dry firewood, so we decided to burn our luggage after careful discussion.

There was no other way, so we opened our backpacks one after another, shone them with a flashlight, and found the contents in the same way, and put them on the ground.

After tossing for a while, everyone put the contents of their bags on the ground and began to sort them out one by one. It turned out to be very disappointing, the things these people brought were almost useless, and the girls' big backpacks contained a bunch of plush toys in addition to cosmetics, body lotion, and snacks!

Liu Tong's backpack contained tents, tarps, some emergency medicines, first aid kits, some dry food and water, although they were all very useful things, they could not be used to make a fire at all!

Zhao Xiaodong and Liu Bin carried similar items in their backpacks, all of which were daily necessities and tents, but in the secretary's bag, we found something that could make a fire.

In addition to some food and water, this product also brought more than a dozen books, I picked up a few to see, there are really a lot of types! What "Wilderness Adventure Guide", "Birds and Beasts Ecological Encyclopedia", five or six novels, and several comics.

Seeing that we were going to take his books to make a fire, the secretary hurriedly snatched back the book in my hand and said with an aggrieved face: "I treasure these cartoons, so I won't take them for you to make a fire." ”

Zhao Xiaodong saw that the secretary was at this time, and he was still protecting those broken comics, so he didn't get angry, and he was stopped by Ah Kai just when he wanted to make a biao again.

Ah Kai looked at the books and said to us, "No, even if you burn these books, you won't be able to burn them for a while!" This ignition doesn't do anything! ”

After listening to Ah Kai's words, Zhao Xiaodong picked up a rag doll on the ground, and said to us with the secretary's field exploration guide: "At this time, you don't have to be stingy with things, the most important thing is to live, these books, toys, tents, can be dismantled to make a fire." After speaking, he pointed to his tent, "My tent is contributed, and I can burn it casually." ”

The secretary still didn't give up, snatched back his book, and shouted excitedly: "No matter what you like to burn, what you burn, my book must not be burned!" After saying that, he picked up all the books, looked at me with an unhappy face, and then looked at Ah Kai. Then he continued: "Why do we burn books, burn tents, Xie Junkai, and Wu Ping don't burn anything? They don't seem to have anything to offer, do they? ”

Zhao Xiaodong originally had an opinion on the secretary because of what happened just now, but now when he saw his face and anger, he wanted to hit him with a flashlight. As a result, he was still stopped by Ah Kai.

"It's not that I don't take things out, it's because I don't have to!" After saying that, Ah Kai poured out all the things in the backpack, such a big backpack, it turned out to be filled with some water, a sleeping bag, folding trekking poles, spare batteries for flashlights, and there was nothing other than the mask just now!

We were dumbfounded, we didn't expect such a big bag to carry such a small thing! But now is obviously not the time to dwell on these, the secretary glanced at Ah Kai, wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but didn't say it, and then looked at me again and said, "What about Wu Ping?" Also travel light? ”

I looked embarrassed and pointed to the small pile of things in front of me, and replied, "It's not that I don't take things, it's that I really don't know what these are with me!" ”

After listening to my words, everyone came to check with flashlights!

I don't know what my mom has packed for me, but when I opened my backpack just now, I found that the top of my backpack was a small manual pump, and below the extractor was an empty thermos cup, a folded, I don't know what to do with the iron shelf, and some strange black vacuum bags.

Liu Tong came over at this time, picked up the iron frame and said to us: "I know this, I have seen it on TV before." After saying that, she began to unfold and assemble the shelf, and when she fully unfolded the shelf, the inconspicuous iron shelf turned into a half-human high barbecue grill!

Liu Tong's movements are clean and neat, I was stunned, just like magic!

"I said Liu Tong's big sister! Now you can't even make a fire, why do you still have the heart to have a BBQ? Zhao Xiaodong said while shaking the rocker used to flip the barbecue grill.

After Liu Tong debugged it again, he said to us: "This is not an ordinary barbecue grill, you see this hole, it is used to add fuel." After speaking, he pointed to a round hole on the side of the barbecue, and then continued: "As long as the fuel is added, even if no firewood is added, it can still make a fire, and the flame will be hotter and more vigorous than a bonfire with firewood as the combustion medium!" Just remove the grill on top and it will turn into a stove. ”

I looked at Liu Tong dumbfounded, I didn't expect her to understand so much! I suddenly felt that the distance between me and her was getting bigger and bigger, and my psychology was sour for a while. "Wu Ping, don't be in a daze, give me your bag." After speaking, before I could react, Liu Tong snatched my bag and began to rummage.

"This is it!" Liu Tong exclaimed in surprise and took out a small bottle from my bag that resembled a lighter for gas. Open the sealed lid on the bottle and start adding fuel to the oven.

"One bottle of this high-temperature fuel is enough to burn for 3 hours, and Wu Ping still has 5 bottles in his bag, so we will have no problem surviving this night." After saying that, Liu Tong skillfully found the ignition switch, and with a "click", the fire burned, and after her slight debugging, the fire in the grill became particularly strong, and I felt in an instant that a heat wave was coming towards me.

Sure enough, under the impact of the heat wave generated by the raging flames, the miasma around us really dispersed, and we approached the firelight and felt a strong sense of security. The panic and anxiety just now disappeared without a trace.

Liu Bin picked up the empty fuel tank that Liu Tong threw to the ground, and said to himself: "Such a small bottle can burn for three hours?" Really? After speaking, he looked at Liu Tong and asked, "Hey, Sister-in-law Wu, how do you know so much?" ”

When Liu Tong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his original appearance, and replied shyly: "You, don't scream!" Actually, I don't know a lot, it's just that I used this barbecue grill once a long time ago......" After listening to Liu Tong's answer, Liu Bin immediately retorted: "Didn't you just say that you watched it on TV?" How did it become used again? ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and they all looked at Liu Tong with a suspicious look, Liu Tong looked at everyone with an embarrassed face, not knowing how to answer, well, uh-huh, ahh

In fact, if it were placed in normal times, no one would care about such a trivial matter, but now the tension brought about by this sudden situation has made everyone a little bit grassy. Seeing this, I hurriedly stepped forward and said to Liu Bin and the others: "Okay, okay, is such a trivial matter worth discussing?" Now the most important thing is that we already have fire, so what next? ”

Just when I was still about to say something to help Liu Tong relieve his embarrassment, suddenly, Lili, who was standing next to Ah Kai, exclaimed! "Ahh Look at what Wang Shulei was sitting on just now? When we heard this, we all looked behind the secretary.

The secretary turned his head suspiciously, only to see that the place where he was sitting just now was not a big rock at all! Rather, it is a stone monument. There are also inscriptions on the stele, probably because it has been standing here for too long, so the handwriting is not very clear.

We picked up the flashlight and carefully read the stone tablet word by word. When we saw the contents of the stele clearly, we were all dumbfounded!

There are only three words on this stone tablet, just these three simple words, but it makes us feel like we can't cry or laugh, the tension and helplessness just now, the quarrel, the fight, all the panic, all become meaningless! Because what was written on it was the three big characters of "Wangjia Village"!

"I'm Ri Nyima! It turns out that we have been tossing at the entrance of the village for so long a day! Zhao Xiaodong scolded, looked at the secretary, and said in a weird manner: "Hey, our secretary Wang is really good at finding the ground to sit, this ass has caused us to toss for so long, it turns out that someone is sitting on the right place, it's not that I took the wrong way!" ”。

The secretary blushed when Zhao Xiaodong said, and immediately retorted: "How do I know that this is the entrance of the village, and it is dark." Besides, you were all ahead of me just now, didn't anyone see it? ”

Lili on the side poked Zhao Xiaodong's weakness with her fingers, and cried out with a painful "oops" to Zhao Xiaodong, turned her head to look at Lili, wanted to be angry, but didn't dare to be angry and said, "What are you doing?" ”
