Chapter 179: The First Night in the Forest (Part 3)
At this time, it was still daytime, and Wu Yi and the three of them were not afraid of encountering any wild beasts that were out and about, so they buried themselves in the time and hurried away, so that they could arrive at the Zzunlagar primeval forest earlier, and the more confident Wu Yi was that he could judge the location of the tomb by the terrain and mountain shape over there.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier at this time, and the snowflakes swirled and hit the faces of the three of them, as if they were slashed by an ice knife, so that the three of them had to bury their heads in their collars a little deeper, and even the conversation between them had to stop.
With the help of a compass to determine the direction, the three of them kept moving forward straight for more than four hours, and it was already close to evening, and the light dimmed slightly. The fat man who walked in the front suddenly waved his hand, pointed to a huge cedar tree in front of him that he didn't know how many years it had grown, and motioned for the three of them to lean over and rest first.
The huge cedar trees blocked the oncoming snowflakes and cold wind, and Wu Yi and the three of them shook their bodies, shook off the snow on their bodies, and let out a sigh of relief, only to feel that their hands and feet were numb from the cold.
The fat man seemed to have quite a lot of experience in the jungle, and after looking at the surrounding environment, he went to the leeward position under a few large cedar trees, picked up a lot of branches and fallen leaves, and after carrying them, he dug a soil pit under the big tree with a sapper shovel, piled up the branches in it and ignited them, and kept the three of them warm and drove away the cold.
Wu Yi took out the food and distributed some to the three of them, at this time, the lips of the three of them were a little purple from the cold, even if they were eating the beef jerky they brought with them, they felt like chewing wax at this time.
The fat man said while roasting the fire,
"It is said that this Daxinganling is 'beating the roe deer and scooping the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot', but this special thing has been gone for most of the day, why haven't you even seen a chicken feather?"
The blind man laughed,
"Fat man, I'm afraid these little animals were also stunned by this sudden heavy snowfall, and they all ran home. And it appears during the day, it is too easy to become the target of those large creatures to hunt, and it is estimated that at night, it will be lively. ”
Wu Yi looked at the surprisingly quiet forest at this time, and said,
"We still have to hurry up and recover some strength, and try to advance a few miles before dark, and in the evening, although it is lively, it will become full of dangers, and it will be difficult to hurry."
The blind two also knew how terrifying the forest was at night, so they nodded and agreed with Wu Yi's words.
When the three of them felt warm again, they got up again and hurried, and before leaving, the fat man threw the food packaging bag that the three of them had eaten into the fire, shoveled a few shovels of dirt and snow, and buried the fire, saying that it was to prevent some animals from smelling the fragrance here, and then followed us from behind to attack us.
The blind man even praised the fat man's delicate thoughts, which even he did not expect.
The three of them continued to follow the guidance of the compass, and at this time, the snow on the ground had already reached the neck of the feet, and the speed of progress had to be slowed down.
In the primeval forest, due to the obscuration of the huge canopy above, the night came much earlier than the outside world, and the three of them advanced for more than two hours, and the sky was completely dark, Wu Yi originally wanted to continue to walk forward for a while, but from time to time there were bursts of strange animal screams and roars around, echoing and circling over the originally silent forest, which made people's hearts beat.
In order to ensure safety, the three of them had to stop again, find a huge black-shirted tree, tie a nylon rope to each of the two trees near it, and stretch out the pre-prepared shade cloth to block the snow above.
All three of them crawled under the shade cloth, cleared the snow below, lit a bonfire, spread their sleeping bags, and planted a few circles of dense branches within seven or eight meters of each other as a simple obstacle to protect themselves from the animals in the jungle, and then prepared to spend the first cold night in the forest.
After deliberation, the three of them decided to take turns to keep vigil, the blind man as the first night watchman, firstly, because it was just night, and the large beasts should not appear at this time, and secondly, the blind man was old and weak, and if he kept vigil in the second half of the night, it would be difficult for him to have the spirit to continue the next day.
The fat man quipped,
"Tsk, the blind man can't see anything, how can he keep vigil? Don't look back, you didn't know that you were taken away by a wild wolf! ”
Wu Yi trusted the blind man very much, and said,
"In this dark forest, even if the two of us have eyeballs, we may not be able to see far. The main thing is to listen, the blind man's hearing Lao Tzu has seen, compared to the big ears of the wind ear is not much worse, with him to guard the first round, you will sleep steadily! ”
The fat man looked at the blind man a few more times, and apparently still did not feel at ease in handing over his personal safety to a blind man, so he took out the double-barreled shotgun, held the butt in his hand, and then got into his sleeping bag and leaned on the black-shirted tree, making a gesture of being ready to fight at any time.
Wu Yi looked at this fat man who had no heart and lungs on weekdays, but it was quite reliable at this time, so he couldn't help but praise the fat man a few words, and then got into the sleeping bag and prepared to sleep, ready to rest for three or four hours before getting up to replace the blind man.
But who knows, Wu Yi was not asleep yet, but when he heard the fat man sitting in the sleeping bag, he made an earth-shattering snoring sound, and the double-barreled shotgun in the fat man's hand also fell aside.
"Gou Ri, Lao Tzu really almost believed you!"
Wu Yi forcibly resisted the urge to get out of the sleeping bag and kick the fat man a few times, and turned his head away to stop talking.
This night, Wu Yi slept groggily, extremely uncomfortable, and the air was as cold as if it had frost. Although there was a fire on the side, it didn't do much.
I don't know how long I slept like this, Wu Yi felt that his body was gently pushed a few times, and he woke up in a daze.
As soon as Wu opened his eyes, he saw the blind man squatting in front of him and pushing his arm, and said that it should be time to change shifts, but as soon as he was about to get out of the sleeping bag, he heard the blind man swallow his saliva in a low voice, and trembled in a low voice,
"Master Wu, don't be silent yet, listen to the surroundings, is there any strange movement, it can scare the old man to death!"
Wu Yi's heart suddenly sank, seeing that the blind man didn't dare to breathe at this time, as if he had returned to the ancient tomb in Pingyang Village, Wu Yi's nerves immediately tensed, and he hurriedly sat up slowly, and at the same time listened to the movements around him.
At this time, it was already night, and the cries and howls of various beasts were constantly heard in all directions in the primeval forest, and Wu Yi listened for a while and did not hear anything abnormal, and said in his heart that it could be that the blind man was too nervous and listened to the cries of animals, right?
But before this thought could be settled, I suddenly heard a low cry of a woman not far ahead!
