Chapter 29: The Way to Survive (10)
If there is a house, it means that there are or have been human tracks, which greatly increases the possibility of them getting out of trouble, indicating that this island is not isolated from the world, even if they are abandoned or fooled and trapped on this island, there is still a chance to meet people who come to the island, someone has a boat, and a boat can get out of trouble, which is a very simple truth.
The two of them were overjoyed, they couldn't help but stretch out their two hands, clasped them tightly, conveying the joy in their hearts, glanced at each other, and hurriedly helped them down the mountain, first went to meet Qiu Wuzhi Villa, and the house was just in a trance from the mountain, because the house fell in the woods, Lin Tao swayed, looming, it was not easy to detect, it was not that the two of them had excellent eyesight, it was impossible to find.
This place must be found before dark, as a place for them to stay at night, or even a long-term residence on the island for a period of time to come, because with a house, in addition to the increased security, the living environment is also immediately improved, they have a place to stand, they do not have to sleep in the wind and rain, grass and grass, and can get rid of the attack of wild beasts in the wild for a long time, which is often the most direct and fatal risk of survival in the wild.
The two rushed down the hill, and when they rushed back to the hollow under the cliff, they spotted wolves wandering around the hollow. When they told their two companions what they had discovered, the two wounded were also refreshed, both of them worried about their current situation.
"I found the wolves again, they seem to be consumed with us." Qiu Wuxi was a little worried.
"In my opinion, they are not consumed with us, they are staring at you, wanting to avenge the wolf king!" Felinan quipped.
"Yes! Well, there is a possibility. But I'm not afraid of them. Qiu Wuxian looked thoughtful, but made the others laugh.
"Hurry, we need to find the house before dark, and we'll stay there tonight, so we can get a good night's sleep away from the wolves." Vito urged.
The direction is fixed, just at the foot of the West Mountain, but the mountain road is not easy to walk, and just now they looked down on the top of the mountain, the space is much less obstructed, and they can see the location of the house, once in the flat jungle, it is not so easy to really find. One foot deep and one foot shallow, walking on the mountainside, the footsteps are very heavy, the trees in the woods are towering giant trees, dense branches and leaves cover the sky, blocking the brilliance of the sunset that is about to sink west. But it was getting darker, which made everyone more and more anxious, because the night was accompanied by danger, and they were tired and precarious.
In a hurry, they finally arrived at the foot of the west mountain before sunset, Vito and Felinan stood at the foot of the mountain and raised their eyes to discern the direction, only to see the trees swaying lightly, the branches and leaves swaying, to determine the general location of the house, and finally in order not to pass by the location of the house, the four decided to distance themselves, each of them was about ten meters apart, lined up longitudinally, not far away, in case of sudden danger, they could also rush to each other's aid, and cut pine wood, make torches, for lighting, to avoid wild beasts, and then pull the net forward.
Felinan was on top, Villa and Qiu Wuxi were in the middle, and Vito was at the bottom, and the four of them went hand in hand, echoing each other from afar. At this moment, the sun has set, there is only the last ray of sunset refracted in the sky, the woods are dark and unknown, the forest is bursting, accompanied by the sound of the grease exploding from time to time with the torches, and only the footsteps of the four people are aware of the footsteps of Suosuo.
"Ouch..." suddenly exclaimed, frightened the other people to turn their heads to look, the sound came from, it was the direction of Fei Li Nan in the highest position, the three of them turned their heads to look, the torch on it was gone, and the three of them were scared away, and hurriedly ran towards Fei Linan's position just now, and shouted in his mouth: "Fei Linan, Fei Linan, where are you?" ……”
When the three of them arrived on the mountainside, they only heard a faint shout from their feet: "I'm here... Here..."The three of them hurriedly took a torch and shone it, and it turned out that there was a deep pit on the ground, about five or six meters deep, and the sound came from the pit. The shadow was enough, and I saw Fei Linan fall to the ground, getting up, probably falling hard, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Seeing that Felinan could still move, the three of them were half relieved, and if they were still alive, they could still be saved. Vito inquired about the situation along the mouth of the pit, and Felinan replied loudly: "This should be a man-made trap, you be careful, I'm fine, you pull me up quickly." ”
Man-made traps! Felinan's words surprised the two, but Vito, who was mentally prepared, was able to accept this conclusion, and the three of them checked some of the pits, and sure enough, they found some clues, those dead grass and broken branches were artificially paved, but the traces were very old, that is, this trap was laid by someone a long time ago, but I don't know if it was the hunter or the guys they thought in their hearts.
The three of them found vines, twisted them into one with a few strands, and put them into the pit, Fei Linan tied them around his waist, and climbed them firmly with both hands, and the three of them pulled them up, and he gasped and was frightened.
"Fortunately, the person who set up this trap did not insert a few sharpened bamboo spears at the bottom of the pit, and there were only stumps and broken leaves in this pit, which should be to catch ordinary small animals as prey." It was Qiu Wuxian who spoke, he looked around carefully, and then said: "We have to pay more attention for a while, beware of other traps, and don't separate, it's dark, and it will be dangerous to separate." ”
Fei Linan thought about it, and felt that there was hair on his body, it was indeed yes, if according to what he said, he had unknowingly given his life in vain just now, wouldn't it be wronged, and his death was unknown and worthless.
"I'm driving in front, and you're following behind, slow down, follow the route I'm taking, and try not to touch anything else." Qiu Wuxi admonished, everyone else nodded, and Vito listened to his tone, as if he was very sure, it seemed that he had understood these things.
Qiu Wuxian was in front, he used the wooden stick in his left hand to explore the way, poking and picking in the west, the torch in his right hand shone forward, illuminating the surroundings, and moving forward cautiously under his feet, although it was much slower than just now, it was very safe, and no accidents occurred.
After walking thirty or fifty meters forward, Vito's eyes were still sharp, he raised his hand and pointed ahead, and said in an excited tone: "The house, over there!" The three of them followed the direction of his finger and saw a black mass, and when they looked closely, it was indeed a house. The house is made of a whole log as a wall, the log is buried deep in the ground, enclosed in a rectangle, and the roof is covered with wooden planks, which is supposed to be nailed. It looks humble on the outside, but now in the eyes of the Vito Four, this is their place of refuge, a haven from the wind.
