His eyes lit up as he turned his gaze to me, not because he saw me returning, of course, but because he saw a hare in each of my hands. As soon as he approached, he was happy: "Xiao Jiu, it's better to be reliable this time, even if you can eat any wild vegetables, it won't taste good." ”

I asked with a smile: "You are very demanding, but you still want to mention the taste?" Would you like to get you some more salt and MSG? And he really thought about it, "If there is, it wouldn't be impossible." ”

He didn't throw the hare in his face, but threw it at his feet, then grinded his teeth and said, "You do the work." ”

He looked down at the two hares with their feet tied, but he didn't shirk it, but simply got up and carried them to the side with his back to me, and then came a voice: "Take advantage of this time to take off your wet fur coat and bake it, I promise not to look back." ”

Stunned, his eyes fell on his back, and when he took off his coat, he was wearing a torn black long-sleeved T-shirt inside, which was sticking to his body because it was wet, and he looked a little thin. Inadvertent gentleness is the most provocative to people's hearts, moving his mouth, or just turning his gaze, sitting silently in front of the fire, without any movement.

From time to time, a whisper floated over him: "Although I am compared to a rabbit, I am not at all, so I am not a cannibalide." At this very moment, I can't do without you, so take care of it. ”

I listened to it ridiculously, what is it called? Cat Crying Mouse Fake Compassion? Obviously they were already going to eat them, but with a knife down, the two hares died, where do they know what to expect?

After a while, when he turned back with the prepared hare, he asked suspiciously, "Why don't you bake it?" Isn't it uncomfortable to hold it like this? ”

The eyelids were not raised, and they were indifferently ignored.

After eating a closed door soup one after another, he went to break a thick branch, sharpened a hare, and set up a shelf, seeing that he was skillful as if he often ate wild meat. The hare should have been washed by the water, not bloody, and when he turned his gaze, he could see that there was just a drop of rock water in the place he had just dealt with.

After the two rabbits were put on the shelves and started to roast, his eyes slipped to me again, and he silently let him look at it, but he didn't prevent him from suddenly reaching out to my forehead, I reacted half a beat and leaned back, and dodged after his hand touched it for two seconds, only to hear him say: "No wonder your face is so bad, you have a low-grade fever." Xiao Jiu, you ......"

"One after another!" I jumped to my feet and looked down at him angrily, "Since you have 'tactfully' rejected my affection for you, please don't consciously or unconsciously use a gentle and caring attitude to provoke you, okay?" I don't believe you don't understand the truth that men and women don't kiss. ”

He was stunned by my outburst, opened his mouth slightly and looked up at me in a daze, and after a long pause retracted his hand that was in mid-air, "I see." Seeing him drooping his head in frustration, I didn't feel happy in my heart, but I was quite uncomfortable.

Turning to the head wolf habitat and sitting down, it floated away with half-squinted eyes, and continued to lie there. Thanks to the hare, the wolf's nose is very sensitive, especially after tasting the hare, I let it sniff it and find a hare nest. Except for the two I brought back, the rest were covered in it.

Speaking of which, he is a little sanctimonious, and he used to quarrel with him with the concept of being kind to animals, and turned around to follow the rules of the jungle in order to survive. So, human principles are used to break, and the environment will force you to accept reality and lower the bottom line.

In a hurry, I heard shouting one after another: "The rabbit is roasted, little ...... Xu Jiu, come and eat. ”

I was stunned, then I came back to my senses, and when I got up and walked over, I thought to myself: This is very good, and I should draw a line in this way, so as not to disturb others and myself.

The game is not as delicious as expected, because there is no oil and condiments, so it is very dry, and after a few bites, I feel extremely thirsty and difficult to swallow, but in order to accumulate physical strength, I still swallowed it hard. Even so, a person and a hare still can't eat, I stopped when I felt like I was holding up, I wanted to find a large leaf wrapped up and keep it for the next meal, but I heard it say one after another: "Don't keep it, the temperature in the mountains is high and low, easy to spoil, you can't eat it for me." ”

After he took it from me, he bit it down without shying away, and when he saw me staring at him, he realized something and said, "I didn't think too much about it, but I felt that it was a pity to throw it away if I couldn't eat it." ”

I nodded and didn't say anything, and he added, "Don't worry, where there are mountains, there will be water, and we will look for a water source later." ”

I also thought about this just now, and nodded again, and found that such a specially displayed politeness was also weird.

After filling our stomachs, we set off to find a water source, and we no longer walked side by side, but deliberately separated by a distance of more than one meter, as if there was an indifferent barrier. There were surprisingly few words one after another, and there was silence all the way, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

After walking for nearly half a day, I finally found an open-air spring, the rain was clear, and the afternoon sun shone on my body warmly. I didn't pay attention to any raw water, I held the spring water in the palm of my hand and wanted to put it in my mouth, but I was pulled from the side one after another, and when I turned my gaze, he sharply retracted his hand and said: "Not all mountain springs can be drunk, if the mineral content is too much, it is harmful to the human body." ”

"What then?"

Not only was I thirsty, but his lips were peeling, and people could starve, but it was really hard to stay without water.

I heard him say an ambiguous answer: "We need to filter the water." ”

After a few moments, I hesitated to ask the person who was burying his head there, "Does this work?" Can water seep through? He used his long knife to make a small ditch about a foot long by the spring, and then spread the gravel in the ditch and filled it to the brim, saying that when the spring water flowed down through the layers of gravel due to gravity, the sand and minerals in it could be filtered out, and the resulting water would be relatively harmless.

But I don't know if he was too solid, and after waiting for a long time and not seeing any water dripping, I couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that the pressure is too solid, or the gravel will be loosened?" But he shook his head in disagreement, saying that it was useless not to be strict.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, he finally saw the water seeping out of the sand and gravel layer, and when the first drop fell on the palm of his hand, he looked extremely happy, "It's a success!" Xiao Jiu, come and get water to drink. ”

It was a matter of habit, and he was in a state of excitement, not realizing that he had made a mistake and recalled the title.

After a slight startle, I finally didn't open my mouth to correct him, I went to catch the water according to the words, the speed of the water drops was very slow, and it took a while to retract my palm to drink, the tip of my tongue was surrounded by water, there was no exaggerated sweetness in the advertising words, but it was very thirst-quenching.

The hunger and thirst issues have been solved, and we need to think about what we need to do next.

The meaning of succession is to find a hidden place and wait for the support troops to be stationed, and then cooperate with the outside to capture the gang in one fell swoop. So far, the so-called support forces have not even seen a shadow, not even a voice contact, whether they entered the ravine, whether they reached the periphery, is unknown, it is all up to guess.

In addition, as far as we have seen before, this gang is numerous, weaponized, and elites in various fields, as well as a group of wolves, tens of thousands of black-skinned snakes, etc., all warn that this is a piece of meat that cannot be eaten by only two people, and one carelessness is a catastrophe. I came into Heizhugou to find someone, not to solve the case, in fact, Peng Ye has also been found, and he is still alive, and his greatest hope is to rescue him.

Do everything according to your ability, and do the impossible task hard, just for the sake of heroism?

I spoke my thoughts, and then fell silent, as if in deep thought. After a while, he spoke: "It's not that it's heroic, it's mainly about this matter that affects the overall situation, and you also saw it yesterday, the people who were arrested are all locked up in the iron net to work, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to save the two of us alone." ”

"There's a way," I squinted and stared ahead, spitting out four words: "Sound strikes west." ”

How to fight the West is the key! After listening to my strategy, he only thought about it for a moment and then got up and said, "Let's go." I raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to be so crisp, as if he knew what I was thinking, and he said as he walked, "Hell Demon Star knows that it's not good just by hearing the name, if we can destroy that sea of flowers and cause chaos within them, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to them." ”

The suggestion I made just now was to go back to the other side of the mountain and attack the sea of black flowers. There are two reasons: first, the flowers are picked by women, and there are far fewer people guarding them than in the cols; Secondly, from the mouth of the indigenous man, we learned that the use of this flower is to contain and manipulate, and the sachet on our waist is estimated to be the pollen, so this flower is not only for people, but also for animals, which must be very important.

If something happens to the Hell Demon Star, and this accident is not small, it is better to ...... The whole sea of flowers turns into a sea of fire, so this seemingly well-organized group with a division of labor and cooperation will be in chaos.

As for the problem of the fire, it was also a chance, the half-wet and half-dry grass I found before was difficult to light, but one after another I found a kind of tar-like oil in the crevices of the rocks, so I took a strip of cloth and dipped it in some to light the fire, and it burned without thinking about it, and it burned for a long time, so the bonfire was lit like this.

As they left the rock, they wrapped their fur coats back one after another, but they tore the original coat into strips of rag and stained it with the tar. He analyzed that this tar may have accumulated over a long period of time in volcanic rocks, which is very valuable. At that time, I wanted to use it as a backup, and it was very necessary for heating in the forest, and now it has other uses. This is also the reason why I came up with the strategy of "striking the east and attacking the west", otherwise the sea of flowers will be wet, even if it is sunny today, it will take until it can be ignited.

With this decision, I pulled out the compass from my pocket, which had been kept well, and after confirming the bearing, the two of them began to walk.
