Section 9 Homesickness
The next day, the two woke up early and cleaned up the dragon skin that still carried their body temperature, Li Junshan washed last night's quilt, that is, the fine dragon skin, several times, and Zhang Lan cut a few more sheets for steaming. Near noon, Zhang Lan carried the dragon skins that had been collected for two days to the top of the mountain for air drying. Li Junshan left a dragon skin alone, and Zhang Lan asked her what she was going to do. Li Junshan smiled and pointed to his shirtless upper body, Zhang Lan suddenly realized that she was going to make a dress for herself first, and this silent concern moved Zhang Lan fiercely.
The second time I climbed to the top of the mountain, I took the old road again, and it was nearly half as fast as the first time. But this time he made a surprising discovery, when he spread the dragon skin, he found several regular flashes of light in the mountains, which made him suspect that it was the reflection of a man-made object, and this discovery made him super excited. Fiddling with the dried dragon skin, after hurried down the mountain, he couldn't wait to tell Li Junshan about this discovery. But his excitement doesn't seem to be transmitted to Lee Junshan. She still unhurriedly punched holes in the dragon skin with a knife, and then sewed clothes with needles made of Zhang Lan's glasses and leather threads, and after a while she looked up at Zhang Lan seriously and asked, "Is the flash you see in a piece or a single thing flashing continuously." ”
"It's supposed to be a piece of flash, and the light I see is reflected from a different direction in one place." Zhang Lan thought for a while and said.
"In this way, it seems that a certain group of social organizations has been formed." Li Junshan thought about it and said.
"If we want to contact this to see, maybe we can find a way back, and even if we can't find it, our safety should be guaranteed to a certain extent. In the past two days, we have only encountered this small small dragon, and we will not be able to cope with the arrival of a larger beast. Zhang Lan saw Li Junshan's reaction and became excited again.
Li Junshan didn't answer, lowered his head and continued to sew her clothes. Zhang Lan knew that she was thinking about something, so she didn't bother her, wiped the sweat on her body, and went to deal with the corpse of the fine dragon again.
On this day, Zhang Lan disposed of a total of 27 corpses of fine dragons. He processed the skin and meat of the fine dragon separately, and soaked the skin in water to clean it so that it could be steamed and denitrified later. The meat is sprinkled with salt and then dried. These jobs are not easy to do, let alone Zhang Lan, a small white-collar worker. But fortunately, Zhang Lan is not a pampered person, after gradually becoming familiar with the operation of peeling and cutting meat, the work is more and more convenient, and it took the first two to peel ten dragon skins later. And Li Junshan's animal skin clothes next to him are also about to be completed.
When Li Junshan carried the new fur to the top of the mountain and the air-dried fur down, it was almost evening.
"Come and try it, I made two. One is a vest that you wear underneath and one is a coat. ”
Putting down the leather in her hand, Zhang Lan trotted to Li Junshan. After all, he didn't feel good for the past two days. Although it was summer weather, it was still cold in the morning and evening, and the damp sea breeze after climbing to the top of the mountain made him even colder. But it was not easy to show it in front of Li Junshan, he could only stand up, and he had to pretend not to care, in his mind, there was no way to avoid her worrying anyway. But then again, if he had been naked and freezing like this on the original earth, he would have been sick a long time ago. But here is cold and cold, but there is no sign of getting sick at all, which is also a great blessing in misfortune.
When receiving the leather vest and leather coat handed over by Li Junshan, Zhang Lan couldn't help but marvel at Li Junshan's craftsmanship.
The leather vest is cut and spliced with the softest part of the fine jawlong skin, and the fluff is inside, although limited to the tool, the leather can only be punched with a knife, and the wide distance leather line is spliced, but Li Junshan used the inner buckle stitch method, and the leather is sewn very firmly, and it is also unusually warm and comfortable to wear.
The coat is also lined with fluff. The overall compactness is moderate, although it is a little rough compared to the delicacy of the original cloth clothes, but to put it bluntly, under the existing tools, this has reached the limit of Zhang Lan's imagination. And Li Junshan was also very intimate near his chest, thickly padding five pieces of leather. After Zhang Lan's inquiry, she knew that this was a function similar to a heart goggle, which made Zhang Lan inexplicably moved.
At the same time, Li Junshan, who had sorted out his thoughts, also told Zhang Lan his thoughts. She thought it was definitely necessary to go to the deep mountains that Zhang Lan saw, but this must be done under the premise of being fully prepared. Their current situation is like a lonely boat in the ocean, which may capsize at any time. In this place that is completely unfamiliar and may not even be the earth, every drop of water and every grain of sand they come into contact with is unfamiliar, so when it is possible to come into contact with intelligent beings, they should be more cautious. Pre-contact screening, contact planning, and follow-up plans should be done well.
Hearing Li Junshan's statement, Zhang Lan didn't say anything, in fact, he thought of these things after he was excited. In the past few days, he and Li Junshan seem to be relaxed and calm. But his nerves were all tense, and he had never relaxed since seeing the human corpses ravaged by the dragons, and even the slightly sweet air here reminded him that this place was different from the original world.
The bones of the small dragon and the large beasts seen in the woods, any of them were not something they could cope with in front of them, and the woman who was eaten by the dragon met Li Junshan before him, and in just three days, three people came out of the line in the forest in front of him, indicating that there should be more people in this place, but in the past few days, they have not even seen the corpses of people, and even when he was on the top of the mountain, he deliberately searched, but he did not find any clues, These are all things that make him nervous.
"Where have all the people gone?" He has been trying to find an answer to this question. And when he saw signs that there might be a man-made object, he was really excited. The thought that those places might be where these people go, it also made his tense nerves relax a little. But he is not a child after all, he has been mixed in society for so many years, and he has seen a lot of the darkness of human nature, not to mention that there is no strange place with laws and rules here, even if there are human groups living in groups, it is difficult to say whether they are still living in harmony like on the earth, and even if they find human beings living in groups, they must think of ways to protect themselves.
After discussing with Li Junshan, they decided to do what they were doing first, first disposing of the corpses of these fine dragons, turning them into jerky and fur, and then making some simple weapons to arm themselves. After ensuring their own survival, they will investigate which reflectors in the mountains are located step by step.
In the days that followed, they transformed into the legendary Orion. Zhang Lan peeled the skin and cut the meat, and Li Junshan washed the leather, boiled the salt and boiled the meat. After five days of work and the disposal of more than 100 small dragons, their work was finally over. The fruits of their labor were enough for the two of them to eat a year's worth of jerky and more than a hundred pieces of leather, and some of these hundred leathers were turned into a tent and two large leather backpacks, as well as several sets of leather coats.
It is worth mentioning that Li Junshan made two leather clothes for Zhang Lan. She also made two for herself. Compared with Zhang Lan's roughness of the two. Hers is finer, this fine is not the texture of the leather clothes, but her leather clothes are engraved with patterns and some leather accessories, which makes Zhang Lan speechless, lamenting that even if a woman falls into the wilderness and becomes a savage, she will not forget to love beauty.
It wasn't enough to just eat meat, so they searched for some edible wild fruits in the surrounding area, and in the process, they ran into a few small dragons that were lucky enough to survive. This time Zhang Lan and they were prepared, so they naturally won it easily, but to be precise, it should be Li Junshan who won it easily, in Zhang Lan's eyes, Li Junshan, who has a multi-functional saber, is simply a legendary "martial arts master" Although her strength is not large, his fighting skills are quite clever, and killing the dragon is basically killed with one sword. Under Zhang Lan's questioning, Li Junshan told her that she pestered her father to teach these fighting skills, and she also went to a military school and learned martial arts professionally. These all made Zhang Lan feel that Li Junshan was really a big mountain, a big mountain that made him look up to the mountain.
After ensuring food and clothing, they felt that it was necessary to prepare some more weapons, and the first thing that came to their mind was naturally bows and arrows. It is easy to make and easy to operate. As they said they would, they searched all over the mountains for materials to make bows and arrows. After trying more than a dozen different types of trees and plants, I finally found a tree that resembled a coconut palm. The strength and toughness of the trees were so high that it took them almost half a day to make two cuts with a small saw on a multipurpose saber. After boiling and roasting, he made a wooden bow with a rough appearance but high strength, and made more than 20 wooden arrows with the remaining materials, with the hard bristles on the tail of the fine jaw dragon as a balance wing, and the appearance is also quite good.
Zhang Lan hung the corpse of a thin dragon on a tree and tested the power of this bow and arrow. At ten, twenty, and thirty meters, it was easy to shoot through the corpse of the fine dragon with a wooden bow, and until one hundred and fifty meters the wooden arrow could still shoot through the corpse of the small dragon, which surprised both Zhang Lan and Li Junshan, because this was already more powerful than the pistol.
While they were lamenting the strength of the wooden bow, they were even more surprised by the changes in the bodies of the two.
When he first arrived here, Zhang Lan was still a myopic person with glasses, and the prescription of glasses was between 300 and 500, and he had to use broken glasses to look into the distance when he first climbed the mountain, and the next day he found that he no longer needed to use glasses to climb the mountain again to look into the distance, and this day was also the day he found the luminous body, and he didn't pay attention to these details because he was too excited. And when he shot the arrow today, his eyes were completely better than the eyesight with glasses before, and at the same time, she and Li Junshan also found that their strength had improved to a certain extent, and when they were picking wild fruits, they encountered a few fine dragons, if they had just arrived here, Li Junshan would definitely have to take a lot of effort to kill them, but that day was already the seventh day they had arrived here, and Li Junshan had solved those small dragons like chopping melons and vegetables. And today, Zhang Lan's bow today has an effective range of 150 meters, and the longest can shoot 400 meters to 500 meters. It has almost reached the strength of the ancient "three-stone bow", that is, a tensile force of 180 kilograms, which he really couldn't imagine before, but today he can easily do it. This made Zhang Lan and the others both excited and worried, not knowing whether this change was a good thing or a bad thing.
Subsequently, Zhang Lan practiced even more diligently, not only did the range increase, but also the accuracy was getting better and better.
"Am I the reincarnation of Li Guang, this talent for archery is really no one," Zhang Lan thought excitedly.
In the evening, the two set up their tents on a platform in the trees, packed up their things and prepared to rest. And when Zhang Lan put out the campfire under the stone pot and got into the tent, he saw Li Junshan putting his hand in front of his eyes and studying it carefully.
"Isn't it getting whiter and tenderer, I want to take two bites," Zhang Lan quipped.
"Hehe... yes, we're all going to be monsters. Li Junshan also responded with a smile, although this sentence was not a joke.
Then, both fell silent. After more than ten days of labor, the wind and the sun were exposed. According to common sense, the appearance of the two should be more or less vicissitudes. But don't say that Zhang Lan is still the same as when she first arrived here, even Li Junshan, who has fine skin and tender meat, is as beautiful as ever. She washed the fine dragon skin in the water every day, and her hands not only did not become rougher but became fairer and more delicate, which was a good thing in itself, but this abnormal phenomenon made them extremely worried about their bodies.
"Whatever, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided," Zhang Lan broke the silence and said.
"Yes, it's bizarre enough to come to this place, and there's nothing unacceptable about some bizarre things happening." Li Junshan continued to look at his hand and said softly.
Covered with a dragon skin quilt, Zhang Lan turned sideways and looked at Li Junshan with a smile and did not speak.
After a while, Li Junshan blushed a little when he was looked at, and he also turned his face sideways and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Lan still smiled and looked at her without speaking, and the angry Zhang Lan turned her back and ignored him.
"You're a big beauty, I've found out that you've become better looking in the past two days, if I could sleep with a big beauty like you in the past, I might have laughed in my dreams." Zhang Lan said with a smile behind Li Junshan.
"Hey... Feed... I can warn you, don't play any crooked brain scripture" Li Junshan got up when he heard this, moved the dragon skin quilt away from Zhang Lan, and warned.
"I'm just lamenting fate, don't be nervous. Besides, it's almost as good as you are to use your crooked brain against me," Zhang Lan explained.
"Hmph, pervert" Li Junshan hid in the quilt in the distance, humming softly.
"Hehe... This is the second time you've called me a pervert, and I don't remember anything I've ever done with a pervert. Zhang Lan said with a smile.
Li Junshan just hummed and didn't speak.
"Alas... If only I were a pervert. Zhang Lan lay flat and sighed softly.
"Hey... Your ambition is very problematic. Li Junshan also turned sideways, looked at Zhang Lan and said, but her face did not have the angry look she had just shown.
"I'm just an otaku personality, and I don't know how to communicate with people, so I'm a lot older and haven't had a girlfriend yet, and I don't have any friends. I thought, if I were a pervert, then I would be more proactive, maybe I would have had a girlfriend sooner or later, maybe I have children, so that even if I die here, I will leave a memory for my parents, and I won't make them too sad when I'm gone. Zhang Lan said with some sadness.
"By the way, you're about the same age as me, are you married?" Zhang Lan, who was still sentimental just now, suddenly turned sideways and asked her gossip when Li Junshan hadn't finished transforming her emotions, which made her a little unable to react.
"No, it's not over yet... In response to Zhang Lan's surprise attack, Li Junshan stammered a little.
"I'm 27, how old are you?" asked Zhang Lanyou, excitedly.
"Ah, I'm twenty-eight." Li Junshan responded.
"28, a year older than me, not married." Zhang Lan said contemplatively.
“。。。。。。。。。” Li Junshan was embarrassed.
"You are so good-looking, there should be a lot of people chasing you, you are so old and not married, is there anything unspeakable?" Zhang Lan rubbed her chin and made a Sherlock Holmes shape.
"Hey, are all otaku like you?" Li Junshan said angrily.
"Haha... I'm a gossip type of otaku," Zhang Lan said with a laugh.
"Bang long ... Just as they were talking and laughing, a strange sound came to Zhang Lan's ears. Zhang Lan hurriedly made a stop gesture to Li Junshan. Li Junshan also slowly got up and picked up the multi-functional saber in his hand, while Zhang Lan used the newly made wooden bow next to him, pulled open a corner of the tent, and peeked out. At this time, I saw a dark shadow wandering around the camp, from time to time playing between the dried dragon skin and dragon meat, while the stone pot on the side had been overturned to the ground.
