Chapter VII

Jiang Yunheng and Jiang Qinling ran wildly in the jungle together, kicking a clump of grass and dead branches, constantly making a cacophony sound. The birds that had attacked them just now were in hot pursuit, and at this time they were already in a flock, and from time to time a few flew over and attacked them.

"Ahh Accidentally, Jiang Yunheng stepped into a pit and couldn't pull it out for a long time.

"Yunheng!"

Jiang Qinling squatted down to check Jiang Yun's horizontal feet, and wanted to help him pull him out of the pit.

Jiang Yun was so anxious that he was about to cry. "It's stuck, I can't get out."

Jiang Qinling tried harder, but he heard Jiang Yunheng let out a miserable scream, so he didn't dare to exert any more force. "Hold on, I'll dig the dirt away." After speaking, he turned sideways and actually took out a dagger from the side.

Jiang Yunheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the bright knife. "You actually brought a knife when you went out!"

Jiang Qinling ignored him and focused on digging the soil with a dagger, but as soon as he went down, he heard Jiang Yunheng shout again. "Be careful."

"Huh!" The knife fell, Jiang Qinling's knife directly cut off the wings of the bird that flew over, it could not be said that it was a simple one, and for a while, blood was sprinkled on the ground along with the trajectory of the bird's fall.

"Chirp Chirp ......" The bird with its wings cut off landed on the ground, and the other members of the same kind immediately flew to it at the same time, and it ate it clean in a few moments.

"They...... Eat meat. Jiang Yunheng's voice was shaking, and he pulled his legs hard to get rid of the shackles as soon as possible.

Jiang Qinling looked at Jiang Yunheng for a moment, and suddenly stood up.

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang Yunheng's whole person was trembling with fear now, and he relied on shouting to speak.

"Don't move, I'll wait to save you." After Jiang Qinling finished speaking, he left, and went towards the place where the group of birds circled more densely. He had wounds on his body, and it wasn't long before several birds came at him.

"Brother!" Jiang Yun shouted anxiously, not knowing what Jiang Qinling wanted to do.

Jiang Qinling didn't reply to Jiang Yunheng, and waited intently for the arrival of those birds, until the one closest to him appeared, shot like the wind, and directly split it in half with a knife. Then the second, and then the third, and before long there was a corpse of a bird on the ground, and more of the same kind that had swooped down to eat the flesh, and then there were only a few birds left that had been hovering in the sky.

"Brother!"

Looking at Jiang Qinling, who had returned to the front again, Jiang Yunheng was shocked and scared. "I really can't pull it out."

"You stand firm." After Jiang Qinling gave the order, he began to use the dagger to dig the surrounding soil, and after the pit was slightly larger. "Let's see if I can pull it out."

Jiang Yunheng hugged his leg and pulled it out hard, and this time he was finally free. But when he wanted to stand up, he stumbled back unsteadily, and only then did he find that there was a big wound on his leg, and blood was gushing out.

"Chirp!" The voices of those carnivorous birds sounded again, and the startled Jiang Yunheng hurriedly curled up and hugged his legs.

"Are they trying to eat me?"

"It's not good to stay here, let's go quickly." After Jiang Qinling finished speaking, he went to help Jiang Yun stand up. "I'll carry you away."

From the moment he saw Jiang Qinling take out a dagger and cut a bird, the knife technique was too neat, and he had only seen it at the butcher who cut the meat, Jiang Yunheng uncontrollably felt more fear of him in his heart. "I ......"

As if he understood what Jiang Yunheng was thinking, Jiang Qinling put away the dagger and then turned his back to him. "There are some things that I'll explain to you when I get out of here."

The call of a carnivorous bird that drowned out for a while finally overshadowed Jiang Yunheng's fear of Jiang Qinling, climbed on his back, and then was carried out of the jungle.

Jiang Qinling carried Jiang Yunheng on his back, his steps were much slower, and the cry of carnivorous birds behind him never stopped, and he actually followed them all the way, but because he was not big enough and did not have the spirit of teamwork, he would not attack them in groups.

"Brother, are we going to die here!"

"No, I'll definitely take you out." Jiang Qinling said categorically, and the pace under his feet quickened a little.

Jiang Yunheng's voice was already crying. "But those strange birds have been following us."

Jiang Qinling shook Jiang Yun horizontally on his back, and his back was steady. "Don't look back, just get out of the woods."

Jiang Yunheng didn't dare to speak anymore, and clasped his hands on Jiang Qinling's shoulders to lie down steadily, hoping to lighten his burden, but with a glance in his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a human face in the bushes next to him, and couldn't help but speak again. "There seems to be someone on the side."

"Huh?" Jiang Qinling looked in the direction indicated by Jiang Yunheng, and there was no one there. "Are you mistaken?"

Jiang Yunheng looked at it carefully, and the face just now was gone. "Maybe I'm wrong."

Looking at the dense woods in front of him, he didn't know where the margin was, Jiang Qinling didn't care about pursuing that much, he just wanted to take Jiang Yunheng out of here quickly, so he carried him on his back and continued to speed up.

It was getting dark, and the two of them remembered that they had said that they were looking for a place to spend the night, but after encountering those strange birds, they only cared about running for their lives and forgot about it.

"It's getting dark, brother."

Carrying Jiang Yun sideways all the way, Jiang Qinling's physical strength began to lose his strength, and he didn't hear the calls of those strange birds behind him, so he put the person down and placed him on a tree to lean on, and he also sat down next to him to rest. "I can't get out of this forest today, it's not easy to walk during the day, and I can't walk at night."

"What then?"

Jiang Qinling wiped his face, took out the dagger again and handed it to Jiang Yunheng. "I'll go get some dry firewood, you sit and don't move."

Jiang Yunheng took the dagger stupidly and held it. "This ...... I won't use it. ”

Jiang Qinling patted Jiang Yunheng on the shoulder. "If you encounter those carnivorous birds again, you can defend yourself."

"And what do you do?"

"I'm fine!" After Jiang Qinling finished speaking, he stood up, glanced around, and picked the place that looked like there were many dead branches.

Looking at Jiang Qinling's distant back, Jiang Yunheng subconsciously clenched the dagger with both hands and carefully observed the surroundings, even if the wound on his leg was swollen and painful now, he didn't dare to look down, and suddenly the bushes next to him shook, and he was startled. "Who?" It was that face that flashed by again, and this time he was certainly not mistaken.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qinling, who happened to come back from picking up dead branches, heard Jiang Yunheng's shout and asked him, "What do you see?" ”

Jiang Yun shrank sideways and pointed in the direction where the face appeared. "There's really someone there."

Jiang Qinling frowned, and after thinking about it in his heart, he cautiously walked towards that place.

"Brother!"

"Shh

Jiang Qinling motioned for Jiang Yunheng to silence him, and after a while, he reached the position that Jiang Yunheng had just pointed out, and pushed away the dwarf tree that blocked his vision, and then saw a big bird rushing towards him.

"Brother!"

Jiang Yun shouted in shock, but fortunately, there was no danger, the bird didn't seem to hurt anyone, and it didn't pounce on Jiang Qinling and didn't carry out a second wave of attacks, it flew away directly with its wings.

"That bird actually has a human face."

Jiang Qinling returned to Jiang Yunheng, who was stunned, and began to pick up the dead branches he had picked up. "Have you read the books in your mother's study?"

Jiang Yun blinked. "The books she reads are all nervous, and they are all pirated, so I don't read them."

"Then you must have never read the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Jiang Yun pouted. "This bird is related to the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Jiang Qinling stacked the folded dead branches together, picked a thick and a thin two in his hand, took the dagger in Jiang Yunheng's hand and dug a hole in the thick one, and began to use the thin one to drill wood to make fire.

Jiang Yunheng was skeptical of the legendary wilderness survival skills. "Is that really going to work?"

"We've all been washed away by the sea, so we can only try if it doesn't work."

"I find you know a lot about survival in the wild."

Jiang Qinling drilled wood seriously. "How?"

"A lot." Jiang Yunheng muttered quietly. "Suddenly I want to know where the hell you're from."

"I want to know too." Jiang Qinling continued to drill wood as he spoke. "Mom's book of mountains and seas says that there is a kind of bird, a human-faced bird, named Woohou, which is almost the same as the big bird we saw just now."

Jiang Yun's eyes widened. "What it says actually exists."

"Myths are also written by people, and people write based on life, and the face of the bird is indeed like a person, and it is not impossible to pass it on directly to the human face if it is passed on too much."

"Whew!"

As Jiang Qinling spoke, a handful of flames really came out from under the small wooden stick that kept turning.

"It's burning, it's burning."

In Jiang Yunheng's excitement, Jiang Qinling added some small dead branches and leaves to the fire, slowly burning the plains, and it didn't take long for a fire to be born. On the fire, Jiang Qinling went over to open Jiang Yun's trouser leg and gently poked his wound. "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt much, it's numb."

Jiang Qinling turned sideways, fortunately, it was not really summer now, and there was still a T-shirt inside the shirt, and the corner of the T-shirt was removed and used as gauze to wrap Jiang Yun's wounds. "As you said yourself, if the wound is infected and has a fever, it will be troublesome, you have to be careful in the back, and you must not touch the water."

Jiang Yunheng lowered his face. "I don't know if I can go back alive, but now we all have injuries on our bodies, and the devil knows if we will encounter a monster more terrible than the carnivorous bird before!"

Jiang Qinling patted Jiang Yunheng's head. "Trust me, I'll take you back."

The night is getting deeper, and the two of them have eaten some wild fruits before, and although they have nothing else to eat at this time, they can barely get through, but they are very tired. Looking at Jiang Yunheng, who was already sleepy and nodding his head, Jiang Qinling wanted him to rest first. "You go to sleep first!"

Jiang Yun squinted his eyes, which were already unable to open. "What about you?"

"I don't know what will come out at night, someone must keep vigil, I will keep watch in the first half of the night, and you will get up again in the second half of the night to change me."

"Okay, then you remember to call me then." Jiang Yunheng really couldn't hold it, and as soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep directly against the tree.

Looking at the sleeping Jiang Yunheng, Jiang Qinling added some dead branches to the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously, and his thoughts gradually fell into contemplation.
