Chapter 14: Mystic Symbols

I went back to the ground and swore that one time was enough, that I would never want a second time, that it would be a lie to say that I wasn't afraid.

Xia Lan and I carefully studied the bones, and there were many runes carved crookedly on them, and I identified one of them that looked like a 'small'.

Xia Lan and I studied for a long time and didn't come up with a single reason, but Wang Yan found runes similar to 'small' on several trees around him.

I looked at my pocket watch, it was almost 12 o'clock at noon, I couldn't waste time on such meaningless things, I took Wang Yan and Xia Lan to continue in the direction of north-west.

Xia Lan took back her iron rod and kettle, and she walked in front and chatted with Wang Yan.

Looking at the heat of the two of them, I kind of understand what it is, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea!

As we climbed over the hills, a pebble-paved sand surface came into view, and a sparkling river flowed slowly into the sea from southwest to northeast.

The estuary has been washed by the river for many years, forming a delta. On the other side of the river is a swamp with lush mangrove forests stretching as far as the eye can see.

Sturgeon scrambled to swim from the sea, and they swam up the river along the river, Wang Yan and Xia Lan had never seen such a sight before, and both of them had a look of surprise on their faces.

Suddenly, Wang Yan asked me: "Lu Yuan, you knew from the beginning that you could find the entrance to the sea by going northwest, right?" ”

I smiled and replied, "Remember that creek?" Brown bears catch sturgeon to eat in the creek. The stream flows from southwest to northeast, and if we follow the dense forest to the northwest, we will definitely find the estuary where the sturgeon swims back, and the high/towering mountain to the west is also the best reference. ”

Suddenly, Xia Lan asked, "How long can the sturgeon migrate last?" ”

I thought for a moment and replied, "The migration of Chinese sturgeon lasts for two months, and it is the beginning of September, so I don't know how long this sturgeon migration will last. ”

"In this case, we don't have to worry about food for the time being." Wang Yan jumped up happily.

I smiled wryly and shook my head, now I can only beg God to let the sturgeon migrate a little longer.

I searched the river bank carefully, but found no sign of the beast, so it should be relatively safe.

If you want to build a ship, the impact sand at the mouth of the sea is a good choice, when the tide is high, the sea overflows the sand, you can bring the ship into the sea, and we can leave the deserted island.

But now we only have a saber in our hands, and we have a long way to go to build a ship that can carry six people on a voyage!

We first have to make the tools, and then we have to collect the materials, and all kinds of difficulties in the process are not possible to overcome and complete them in two or three years.

Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh, sure enough, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step.

The density of sturgeon in the river is really high, and I can stab one with a fork of an iron rod. I stabbed three sturgeons in a row, and Wang Yan and Xia Lan started a fire and began to grill the sturgeon.

Wang Yan and I chatted without a word, and the embarrassment of last night gradually faded away, and we both seemed to be deliberately hiding that incident in our hearts.

After lunch, I stabbed six more sturgeons, I took out my pocket watch to see that the time was almost up, and after Wang Yan cleaned it, I tied them to the iron rod with a rattan through the gills and picked them back.

At dusk we returned to the cave, and Jiang Dandan was bored by the stone slab where we had been cooking last night, and on the slate lay a few poor clams.

As soon as Jiang Dandan saw us coming back, she immediately stood up, her eyes staring straight at the sturgeon on my iron bar.

"Did you work today?" I asked.

Jiang Dandan pointed to the firewood pile at the entrance of the cave proudly and said, "These are all collected by Miss Ben." ”

I watched the stone in Jiang Dandan's heart fall to the ground, and this eldest lady finally opened her mind. I handed the sturgeon to Wang Yan and Xia Lan, and they began to prepare dinner.

At this time, Lin Xian'er came back with Zhang Xi'er in her arms.

Zhang Xi'er's face was pale, her forehead was sweating, and she looked sick.

I hurriedly went up and grabbed Zhang Xi'er and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Xian'er said: "When she came back, she was bitten on the thigh by a snake in the dense forest. ”

I looked at Zhang Xi'er's thigh, there were two tooth marks the size of a needle's eye on the inside of the root of the thigh, and a grass vine was tied to it, and I quickly put Zhang Xi'er on the ground.

Wang Yan and Xia Lan also came around.

Lin Xian'er squeezed Zhang Xi'er's wound hard, and a slightly blackened blood gushed out from the tooth marks, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, it's not too poisonous snake, but it must also suck out all the poisonous blood, I have ulcers in my mouth and can't suck it." ”

I didn't hesitate at all, I lay on Zhang Xier's thigh and sucked it up, and I spit out a mouthful of poisonous blood one after another.

Actually, I found that Zhang Xier's skin is quite slippery, especially this kind of big/inner thigh.
