CHAPTER XXXVI

The trees near us by the dense forest were now hiding in the fog, like a few girls in leggings;

Huya's wound was simply treated by me, the wound is not deep, but it is touching and complicated, the most serious injury comes from the chest, this wound is obviously different from the other beds on the body, more like being scratched by some clawed animal, fortunately the wound is not serious, the blood gushing out is not much, and the treatment... I had nothing at hand to treat wounds, just a few strips of rag and a mountain of lime-like white powder;

Fortunately, the dumb man was still awake, and the bald man also relieved himself after ten minutes, and he had nothing to do about the injury of the tiger, all he could do was to find some plants that looked like a clover on the edge of the woodland, the leaves of this plant gave me the first instinct of notoginseng, but the leaves were much larger than the notoginseng grass I had seen, I and the bald man chewed a piece and wiped it on the body of the tiger, the taste of the grass leaves was like a mouthful of dried bitter gourd, and the tiger girl who simply lay on the ground, but if it was replaced by anyone else, Lao Tzu will never chew this kind of thing again;

The mute walked back in the fog, looking a little dejected;

"Did you find them?" I didn't let him go too far, and I had a rattan rope tied around my waist to trace him and return;

The dumb just shook his head, not even interested in gesturing at me;

"Will she die?" , the bald man dealt with Huya's last injury, and fell beside me, looking at Huya with confused eyes;

"No, it's all skin trauma, it's more serious than hers, this injury is nothing", I comforted the bald man, his eyes had already told me what it meant to care about it, but in the more than a year I have been with this master, I have never seen him lose his mind as much as he is now, and even the smile he is used to hanging on his face has disappeared without a trace;

"She'd rather choose Black Bull with her than you, do you know why?" , I asked coldly to the bald man who was a little distracted;

"Yes", the bald man leaned against Huya's side, took off the only remaining pair of pants of the three of us, and covered Huya's upper body;

I didn't ask this kind of topic between men and women, this is a matter between the two of them, and whether it is a bald man lying on his side or an injured and unconscious tiger, I regard them as friends who share weal and pain, but the point is that this "sharing weal and pain", which is a grading of feelings, and there is still a huge gap between "unswerving to death";

At least the bald man kicked me in danger and the tiger girl's indifferent eyes had told me that on the edge of life and death, they would not switch roles with me, but would not hesitate to sacrifice me as an outsider, whether they called me Shanna or Shanman, the result would be the same;

"The lame ones are gone...", I sat on the ground and looked around at the traces that might have been left, but found nothing;

"Well, I guessed," said the bald man, still looking at the tiger girl with a blank face;

"Guessed? I let the lame man stay where he was until late at night, how did you guess that? My emotions were a little spurted, and my voice was noticeably louder;

"Be quiet, don't make any noise about her", the bald man glanced at me coldly, and then covered the muddy pants on the tiger girl a few more times;

"Did someone give me another order behind my back to let them go first?" , I looked at the tiger girl on the ground, I firmly believe that the tiger girl can do this kind of thing, since the waterhole, she has begun to act alone;

"Wu, you misunderstood her", the bald man muttered in a low voice, and there seemed to be a choked voice in his tone;

Seeing that we seemed to be arguing, the mute leaned his body towards me, intentionally or unintentionally;

Listening to the bald man's tone, my heart was also soft, but when I knew very well in my heart that this was not a woman's kindness, I said, "Bald, you must tell me clearly what is going on";

"What's going on? Does it still matter what the hell is going on now? Don't you understand, we can't get out, understand? They took the water with them! We can only wait here to die! ”;

The bald man's words roared at me almost word by word, as if using all the strength of his body, the green tendons on his neck were already tensed, and slowly drooped, and the blood on his flushed face gradually faded, and after staring at me fiercely, he sat back beside Huya, and slammed his fist on the ground;

The bald man's words stunned me for a moment, but in an instant, he reacted and said, "We are dumb and can't die!" ”;

"Dumb? How much urine can he have enough for the four of us? The bald man looked back at the mute and said through gritted teeth;

"Drink a fart! Don't forget, the mute and the lame man stayed on this mountain with a dozen people for a month, didn't they die of thirst and starvation? I patted my dumb man and said;

The bald man frowned and stared at the dumb man for a long time, then looked at me and said: "I guess, there must be something in the canopy of these trees, as long as they move, the surrounding woodland and low hills will change positions, just now we were in the forest, when the crown of the tree was shaking, I was worried about whether it would be changed to another place, I already knew when I was looking for this grass on the edge of the woodland, I guessed right!" ”;

The bald man's tone turned a little, and he was no longer so angry, but he was still worried, and he stopped talking;

"What did you just find?" , I hurriedly asked;

The bald man looked at the mute, stared at his eyebrows and said, "I saw many days ago... The mark that I and the dozen people in my team once left on the tree! ”;

......

The bald man was right, at least two things proved that the bald man's words were not adulterated, and he took me to find the deep marks carved out of the sharp stones, and at the same time I found that the low hill around us was no longer the lime-strewn hill of an hour ago, though the hill was just as bare and chilling;

My head was a little numb, and I didn't understand how one piece of land and another could unconsciously switch directions from one to the other, and even if this transposition didn't make any noise at all;

No! There is a sound, that kind of "click" loud sound, could it be the sound left over from this land transposition?

But I hardly have to extrapolate to know that if there really is a mechanism that triggers the transposition of the land, the noise caused by it will be absolutely earth-shattering, and even cause very severe earthquakes and even violent crustal movements;

But if this is not a mechanism, and the land is not transposed with each other, how can we and the cripple lose sight of each other in such a short time?

"Bald, what happened the last time you left these marks?" I asked, with a little swelling in my head;

"We have made two marks, once in the early morning in the direction of the sun, but now it seems that the position of the sun is not quite the same as it was then, and the mountain behind us is not the same, and there is grass on that mountain," said the bald man, as if reminiscing, as he looked at his surroundings;

"And what about the other time?" , I spit the bitter grass foam in my mouth on the ground, sat up straight and asked;

"Another time? The other time was to go in the direction of the mark, and the more I went, the wetter it became, and that direction was the swamp, and I was the transparent stone that I picked up in the swamp", and the bald man said, as if he had thought of something, looked up at me;
