Chapter 3: Black Fruits
After about half an hour of difficult trekking, there was a sudden brightness ahead, and we were even more surprised that a meandering stream came into view.
Because I haven't drunk water for a long time, I have long been hungry and thirsty, and I can't take care of any hygiene at the moment, a few arrows rushed to the side of the stream, picked up the stream and poured it into my stomach, Su Yuliu followed, out of physiological instinct reaction did not hesitate, at this time the stream water is really extremely sweet.
After the thirst in my body subsided, I sat down on the ground, my heart was satisfied, all my worries and worries seemed to disappear, Su Yuliu sat next to me with a few crystal water droplets hanging from the corner of her mouth, seeing me staring at her stupidly stunned, a touch of crimson flew on her cheeks, she said: "It's really an endless road, with water we can hold on to the island for a while longer." It's just that Da Xiong and Sister Shanshan, where did they go? We followed their path, and they should have discovered this stream as well, so why didn't they go back and inform everyone? β
I said, "The grandson of the big bear will probably be so excited when he sees the water, maybe he will have taken off his clothes and is flying freely somewhere upstream." Speaking of which, I suddenly realized that if that grandson really jumped in to take a bath, then I drank a lot of his bath water just now, and I felt disgusting just thinking about it, so I stood up and said to Su Yuliu: "Well, I didn't say that just now, I guess they should go upriver to find the source after they found the water, and we may be able to find them if we look upstream." β
Sure enough, it didn't take long for us to find the big bear and several people not far from the stream, but they were all lying on the ground motionless.
Attacked by a beast? I subconsciously became vigilant that if the creek was the only source of fresh water on the island, there was a good chance that other creatures on the island would come here to drink. I pulled Su Yuliu to hide behind a big tree not far away, and then softly called out the big bear's name, but they were indifferent.
Su Yuliu trembled and tugged at the corner of my clothes and asked me, "Will they be bitten to death by wild beasts?" β
I shook my head and said, "No way, as far as I know, there is no beast crime scene in the world that is so clean, especially the big bear with a fat head and big ears, if it is really attacked by a wild beast, it will be gnawed beyond recognition." This grandson can't be asleep, right? Thinking of this, I picked up a small pebble from under my feet and threw it over, and the pebble hit the big bear in the face impartially, and the big bear snorted twice, and turned sideways to continue to sleep.
Since people are still alive, there is nothing to be afraid of, I walked quickly to the big bear, only to see that his face was ruddy, his breathing was even, and there was a shallow lewd smile on the corner of his mouth.
We checked Li Shanshan and Zhou An'an again, these two girls also slept very sweetly, at least from the outside, they were not attacked. I wondered, how could these three people lie here and sleep so well? Is it overworked? But no matter how overworked you are, you won't be able to lie unguarded like this?
"Look!" Su Yuliu suddenly pointed to a string of black balls beside them and shouted, I looked at it, and there was a bunch of things the size of grapes lying on the ground, but they were all black.
I picked it up carefully, took a closer look and didn't find anything else wrong, put it to my nose and smelled it, and there was a faint smell of wine, what is this? Could it be that the big bears ate this thing and fell asleep?
Su Yuliu asked me on the side, "What the hell do you think this is?" Will it be toxic? Why have they been unconscious? β
I said, "It's not good, but it's not poisonous, it's a bit like the pills that those vicious witches give to the princess in fairy tales, and there is no fatal danger if you eat it, but you will always be asleep, unless you meet a prince who combines courage and beauty, and after a kiss, the princess will wake up and make a private decision for life." β
Su Yuliu slapped me and rolled her eyes at me, "When is it, and you are still talking about something inconsequential." Think about what to do? β
I squatted down and looked at Li Shanshan, thousands of little seahorses in my mind were rushing by, Su Yuliu thought that I really wanted the prince to save the princess, so I quickly reached out to pull me, I was thinking about how to wake them up, I was completely defenseless, and my feet slipped and pounced, and the whole person fell on Li Shanshan's body.
Then something magical happened, Li Shanshan coughed twice and woke up, but as soon as she saw me lying on top of her, she immediately lost her face, and raised her hand indiscriminately to slap her.
Don't look at the girl who looks petite and thin, the strength in her hands is really not small, this slap down, I suddenly feel that my eyes are full of little stars.
After some explanation, Li Shanshan didn't mind, and was embarrassed to apologize to me, but Su Yuliu kept scolding me for being a stinky hooligan, saying that normal people are pulled backwards, but I just lay forward, it must be intentional.
I don't know how to explain it, so I can only divert the topic and ask Li Shanshan what happened, Li Shanshan said that they didn't go far along the stream, and found a large piece of fruit that looked like grapes in a forest, at first they were a little worried about whether this thing could be eaten, but they couldn't stand the big bear's grandson who said that everything that looks colorful and bells and whistles in nature is poisonous, and the more plain and unremarkable it is, the safer it is, so it is definitely not poisonous. Coupled with the faint aroma of the fruit, their taste buds couldn't stop, so they didn't care so much about picking and tasting, and what they didn't expect was that although the fruit was ugly, it tasted very beautiful, and they wanted to eat the second one after eating one, and after a full meal, they picked a little bit and planned to take it back to us to taste, but they didn't expect that as soon as they walked to the stream, they felt like they were drunk, and their brains fell asleep.
I shook my head, pretending to be helpless and said, "You guys are so naΓ―ve, you can even believe the nonsense of running a train without learning and running a train like a big bear, no matter what the fruit in the wild looks like, but anything that has never been seen can't be easily tried, even if Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, people don't drag their families together, you are good three people to take risks collectively, if a weasel comes just now, you can take it away for you." β
As he spoke, Zhou An'an and Da Xiong on the other side also woke up one after another, and after a fierce and profound criticism of them, I planned to take them to pick a little more and bring them back to the camp, because I thought that something should not be eaten too much at one time, and it should not be a big problem to take a small amount, but I didn't expect that at this time, suddenly the sky was cloudy, and the light around me instantly dimmed.
It's going to rain again? The weather on this island can change how to say, faster than turning a book, it seems that the fruit can only be picked in the future, our group hurriedly returned along the original road, did not go far, the raindrops of beans crackled and poured, I let the big bear rush in the front to lead the way, I was in the back of the hall, a few girls walked in the middle.
The road that was already difficult to walk became more difficult because of the sudden rainstorm, if I hadn't pulled Su Yuliu a few times, the girl would have probably fallen into doubt, and this time the rainstorm was getting bigger and bigger, and soon our vision in front of us was blurred, and the pace of progress had to slow down a lot, I had extreme doubts in my heart if we had entered the world of Truman, high in the clouds, the so-called God was holding a water pipe to us.
