Chapter 7 Into the Primeval Forest
climbed to the top of the mountain behind Brother Ran's house, giving us those of us who have never seen a real mountain a strong shock. In front of him is an endless mountain, a real mountain. The difference between the top of these mountains and the bottom of the mountain is daunting, and the mountains hold hands with each other to block our way. Overlapping, endless, uninhabited.
"If you climb over this mountain, you don't have to climb to the top of the mountain on the road behind." After speaking, Brother Ran looked at me again, "Little brother, what are you doing in this remote primeval forest at such a young age."
It seems that Brother Ran was not good at asking in the house just now, and we are not here to explore like this.
The four of us didn't speak, saying that tomb robbery was a crime, and I had an idea, "Let's investigate a rare plant, and we will do a paper in school."
"I wouldn't doubt that you three are students, but this brother looks like he was a soldier......"
Before he could finish speaking, I defended that "Lacey is my brother, and he will come with us to protect us this time."
"I don't think you guys are like investigating plants, and you don't dare to be interested in these plants along the way," after speaking, Brother Ran shook his head and stopped talking.
I looked at everyone, and then looked at Brother Ran's back, and said to Brother Ran, "We are really here to dig plants, find elixir, and save lives."
Brother Ran looked at me, nodded, and believed his expression. Of course, my sincere expression, coupled with the fact that I was telling the truth, did not blush and did not beat my heart, and I did not feel that I was lying. Of course, in my selfish heart, I am also full of expectations for getting rich overnight, and I also want to kill two birds with one stone.
Lacey looked at the countless mountains on all sides and said, "For everyone's safety, we set a rule, and everyone must follow this rule."
"You have experience in this area, Laixi, you just said" I'm afraid that Zhang San and Zhao Dong won't listen to Laixi, so I agreed to it on behalf of everyone.
Lacey had a dagger tied to each of her calves, and she had the big knife pinned to her waist to use as a mountain opener. He is a very cautious person, and he has the temperament of a PLA commander when facing us at this time, and we are like his soldiers.
Lacey glanced around at everyone again, "Rule number one, you can't take more than eight minutes at a time. Second, the rest period is one rest per hour. Third, it is better to walk less distance every day than to overexert physical strength and affect the plan for the next day. Fourth, the distance between each person is three meters, don't sing loudly, don't talk too much, but also maintain the rhythm, not sometimes slow and sometimes fast, fifth, those who are left behind must keep up, and those who can't do it don't go. ”
Zhao Dong and Zhang San didn't speak, and Brother Ran next to him nodded, "Very reasonable, amazing."
Lacey said yes, took out a bottle of moisturizer from his big backpack and handed it to me, "Wipe your lower body, and every corner of your thighs and calves will be touched."
Zhang San began to be poor again, "Indian divine oil? ”
I took it and looked at it, it was all in English, and I couldn't understand it, so I asked Lacey, "What are you doing with this?"
"You don't want to wear out the skin, just rub it on". Lacey didn't look at me, at the distant mountain hair.
This was very cool in my hand, so I unbuttoned my pants to wipe it, wiped it everywhere and handed this to Zhang San.
Brother Ran didn't wipe it, and after Lacey waited for everyone to wipe it, he said softly, "Let's go", I felt very majestic when he said it, and naturally took on the role of the team's big brother.
"Let's go around from the side," Brother Ran led us down a path.
There are still traces of people walking on this path, and the path is full of weeds and wildflowers, pink, red, blue. I thought of Bai Xue again, she would love so many bright flowers.
There was a dense forest in front of me, and I suddenly found a red wild fruit next to it, and when I got closer, it looked like a football or a lychee, "Brother Ran, what is this."
"This is a wild lychee, hehe, it's edible, it's very sweet,"
"This one can be eaten,"
Lacey turned around and looked, "You can eat it, this is a wild lychee, it can clear heat and stop bleeding, pick it"
At once we all swooped down and plucked the trees from the top.
Eating while walking, "Well, it's so sweet".
Everyone was happy, completely forgetting a few rules of Lacey, and Lacey did not stop us, letting us enjoy everything fresh in the wilderness, this way was happy, and swept away the gloom of the past few days.
After walking down the hill for a long time, there are still people living behind it, this is Brother Ran's cousin is Wang Precious Father's house.
Wang Guigui's father opened up two fields in front of the house to grow tobacco leaves, let us wonder that his house and the field around the field like the ancient battlefield with a bowl thick trunk around a long circle of antlers, the outside of the antlers are cut into pointed heads, densely packed with countless pointed heads, is there bandits here.
"Brother Ran, this circle of wooden walls is to protect against foreign enemies." I'm curious, so I'm going to ask.
"It's beast-proof". It wasn't Brother Ran who spoke, it was Lacey. Lacey then added, "I did this in the forest."
As soon as Lacey said it, we understood, and Brother Ran also nodded and said, "That's right, this is to prevent wild boars."
It seemed that there was no one in the house, so we went around the antlers and went deeper, and there were a few walnut trees beside the antlers, bearing small fruits. This Zhao Dong knows, Zhao Dong's hometown also grows walnut trees, walnuts are an indispensable cash crop for people in the mountains.
Brother Ran told us, "If you walk here, there will be no one again, and tomorrow you will walk for another day, and the day after tomorrow you will go to Yintiao Ridge."
It seems that Yintiao Ridge is not too far, it is only two days away, and go forward, the mountain road is difficult, Brother Ran cut a branch for one of us to make a crutch, so that the uphill and downhill are indeed much easier, and you can also use branches to explore the way, this is called beating grass and scaring snakes.
Listening to what Brother Ran said along the way, I also learned a lot of wild knowledge, which was very fresh. It's just that the few rules set by Lacey are really a little too tiring, and it feels like I'm constantly hurrying.
Walking, walking, walking, people don't want to talk when they're tired, and all five people are bored walking,
We walked on a small road, and there were traces of people walking, but a large number of weeds and shrubs on the side of the road stretched out to the middle of the road, and we had to cut them down as we walked, and the speed slowed down.
Brother Ran told us, "This road is the road that people who go into the mountains to collect medicine, we don't live well here, if we can't go into the mountains to collect medicine, the people who live here have already run away, in fact, even if you can collect medicine for money, this is also a poor ravine where girls from other places don't want to marry." The year before last, Chongqing was to be directly under the central government, but Sichuan thought we were poor and backward and left us to Chongqing. After Chongqing came under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, the city leaders vigorously supported us and helped us, and our lives were much better. ”
Maybe it's because he remembered his previous life, Brother Ran was a little excited when he talked about this, everyone didn't speak, and they were silent again.
Laixi, who was walking in front of him, spoke, "Chengdu did not agree to be directly under the jurisdiction of Chongqing."
In fact, as we all know, Chongqing was the economic center of Sichuan Province at that time, and contributed a lot to Sichuan's economy, but the amount allocated to Chongqing every year was very small, which greatly affected the construction progress of Chongqing. Therefore, at that time, the common people spread the word of mouth, Sichuan not only did not agree with the direct jurisdiction of Chongqing, but also obstructed everywhere, starting from the direct jurisdiction of Chongqing, the people of Chengdu and Chongqing were even more like enmity. We didn't understand anything when we were young, but the old people in the family were setting up a dragon gate formation every day, saying this every day, and we were tired of listening to it.
Lai Xi continued, "Why is the map of Chongqing so narrow and long, one in the east and one in the west, when the central government wanted Chongqing to be directly under the central government, the Sichuan side did not agree, and finally promised that if it wants to be directly under the central government, it must accept these poor counties, and finally Chongqing accepted.
I'm talking about these boring topics all the way, this is the life of ordinary people, my interest is not here, I just want to finish my work as soon as possible and go back to Chongqing, because Bai Xue has no news, I'm still afraid of that in case.
The sun was about to set, and they had to find a place to camp immediately, so Zhao Dong and Zhang San thought that it was as if we usually sat by the Yangtze River all night, and they didn't bring anything. At this time, I heard that there are wild boars, locusts, mosquitoes bigger than fingernails, snakes, and even the leopard that Shennong has come over.
The two of them wanted to go back, and they missed their days in the city. Although the poor students didn't have much money, they started to shout when they were comfortable.
"Don't make any noise, there's a place to live, help build a shed," Lacey yelled at the two of them, and the world was quiet.
I came to comfort Zhao Dong and Zhang San again, "Don't worry, Laixi has lived in the primeval forest for so long, what are you afraid of" I found that I was a peacemaker in the team, and I was like a kindergarten teacher who coaxed children.
The camp we are looking for now is a large bare rocky beach next to a small stream, the stream water is clean and clear without pollution, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful, it is really an ideal peach blossom source. I was so tired that I was carrying such a heavy wooden box up and down the hill, and I had endured it just now, but now that I could rest, I sat down and gasped and watched them build the house.
Brother Ran brought a lot of plastic sheeting and quilts, and his shed was set up as soon as possible, and it took ten minutes to get it ready. I really like the shed built by Brother Ran, he cut down two small trees that were a little thinner than his little arm, and shaved off the branches in a few strokes to make four round wooden sticks more than two meters high.
One end of the stick is sharpened and tilted into the crack in the stone, and the two sticks are tilted towards the middle and the ground to form an isosceles triangular support. The top is crossed together and tied with rattan to make the head of the bed, and the other side also makes a foot of the bed.
Brother Ran used a long wooden stick to place it horizontally at the intersection of the triangles on the top of the head of the bed and the end of the bed, and then wound the two triangles with rattan, and the frame of the simple shack came out, and the mountains were full of rattan, which did not take time at all.
Then cut a triangular notch in the middle of each of the four sticks, and found a sturdy long branch, which was tied at one end at the notch at the head of the bed, and the other at the end of the bed was firmly wound with rattan. On the other side, a branch of about the same thickness was tied.
Two long sticks parallel to the ground made the bed, and finally found some small branches of similar thickness to wrap on the two beds as bed boards, and directly pounced the quilt on the bed board, and a suspended bed was ready. This is the temporary shack built by the mountain people to collect medicine. It can prevent mosquitoes, insects and snakes.
Note--This method is one of the necessary for survival in the wild, and this method of building a shack makes our wild life a lot more comfortable in the later stage. In the next chapter, Lacey's approach is how to build a suggested shelter without plastic sheeting, all from natural materials, although it takes some time, it is also very practical.
