Chapter 68: Deep in the Rainforest
In the depths of the rainforest, on a towering tree that cannot be named, there are wild fruits, some people in black clothes and black pants, against the wind and rain, the thin ground is amazing, but also the flexibility is amazing, is climbing up and down, picking wild fruits.
"Angelica Bai!"
Hearing the shouting, the people in the tree said yes and began to slowly climb the branches and descend the tree.
She was called a slender woman dressed in white, holding a transparent umbrella and wearing high-top rain boots, Yingying stood under the shadow of a tree, dimly like a mountain lilac.
"I don't know where a few live fish swam in the stream in front of the cave, and the men ran out to hunt, and we three women, we couldn't catch a single fish, so we could only block it with branches, waiting for you to catch it."
"Look how stupid you are, you can't catch the river fish sent to your door." Saying this, Bai Zhi honestly stood under the woman's umbrella tilted towards her, and let her raise her head to wipe the fallen branches and leaves from her hair.
"Look at your sweat." The woman said angrily, but took out a white handkerchief to wipe the sweat that was about to fall into her eyes, and carefully pulled the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears.
revealed a delicate and gorgeous, like a finely carved face, and her thin cherry lips opened gently, "Sister Qing, you are really a mother-in-law, if I were a man, I would not dare to marry you home." ”
"I have tens of millions of fans outside the island, and it may not be rare to marry you." Liang Shengqing said this, but blushed, "Okay, hurry up and go back with me to catch fish." ”
Bai Zhi snatched the umbrella from her hand, the umbrella surface was tilted, covering her whole person tightly, the wind and rain were unbearable, and she also stuffed a bunch of brightly colored wild fruits into her arms, and joked unabashedly, "Little lady, the master will give you an umbrella, and this full of wild fruits will be used as a dowry to marry you?" ”
"Bai Zhi, you're kidding me again!" Liang Shengqing finally held on to the wild fruits in her arms, but she was reluctant to drop any of them, but she still insisted on freeing her hand to twist Bai Zhi's ears, "Is it bullying Sister Qing, who is over thirty years old, to confess to Zeqi failed, and I want to laugh at me that I can't marry for the rest of my life!" ”
"No, no, no," Bai Zhi hurriedly waved her hand, but she was afraid that Liang Shengqing would fall down on the muddy ground of the rainforest, so she had already taken the initiative to stuff her ears into her palm and let her twist it, "How could such a beautiful Sister Qing not be able to get married, it was Zeuru's stupid boy who had no vision." ”
Liang Shengqing was stunned, her hand only scratched the tip of Bai Zhi's ear, and put it on her thin shoulder, "Look at you, you have finally lost weight and become beautiful, but you don't look like a daughter, you are dressed in black and black pants all day long, like a tomboy, you only know that the rain forest is full, rain or shine, to find a person who is uncertain about life and death, and be careful to follow the back road of Sister Qing who is still rejecting her confession after she is thirty." ”
"How so?" Bai Zhi avoided talking about the point, and deliberately picked up Liang Shengqing's self-pity and quipped, "Even if you can't get married for the rest of your life, be an old woman, we can also be companions and rely on each other to die." ”
"I know that nonsense," the light in Liang Shengqing's eyes flashed, but he said, "Don't be rubbing, hurry up and go back with me to catch fish, otherwise they should be in a hurry." ”
Bai Zhi agreed, and the two brothers hugged Liang Shengqing's shoulders as if they were going to the cave first.
But when Liang Shengqing looked ahead without squinting, she secretly picked out the largest and most colorful one from the wild fruit in her arms and hid it in her sleeve.
When they returned to the cave, they saw that the brook in front of the cave was separated by branches, and it was full of fish that were jumping but could not swim out.
However, Han Qianxia and Bai Luoya, who were doing their duty as guards, sat on the side of the stream alone, glaring at each other with hatred.
Only Urushi, with a broken hair that had faded to pure black, and a lame leg, stood by the stream and watched the live fish struggle with interest, thinking about how to catch the fish with a good leg.
And almost as soon as they came back with their front feet, Wen Jingning and Leng Yang arrived empty-handed, dejected.
Although their mental states and clothes are different, the seven of them all have a common characteristic, that is, they are skinny, look like they have not seen the light for a long time, and they are malnourished.
And this is the twentieth day since they left the villa and lived in the cave.
The canned meat has already been eaten, and only relying on the vigorous Wen Jingning and the angelica that can climb trees, the small animals hunted back and the wild fruits found to satisfy their hunger.
And Leng Yang is a surgeon with a good dissection, except for Bai Zhi being scratched by a branch, Wen Jingning being bitten by a wild thing, which can come in handy a little, and by the way, cleaning up the wild things that he hunted back, he will only hollow out his mind and think about being the leader of the seven.
One of Sarushi's left legs is immobile and needs to be recuperated, so he can only stay in the cave to recuperate.
Han Qianxia and Bai Luoya have always been in a state of seeing each other, and they are in a state of red-eyedness, and they can only open their mouths and wait to eat and drink all day long, except for thinking about how to kill each other unknowingly.
And the problem that bothers them the most is the source of fire.
The rain rained incessantly, and there were no dry branches or leaves for the fire, and everything they brought from the villa to burn was as good as they could, but they still hadn't tasted warm food for ten days.
The physical functions of the seven people have all declined, and the injuries that Saurashi could have healed in a month have dragged on until now, but he can only barely stand.
And the weather is getting colder and colder, and as winter approaches, if they can't find a fire source to support their lives, they will either freeze to death or eat cold objects to death.
But the seven of them are still working separately, only Liang Shengqing is like an old mother, not only to take care of Ze Qi who is recuperating from her injuries, but also to care about Bai Zhi, who is not busy looking for Gu Yunian or looking for food, and washing a bunch of clothes that everyone has changed.
At this time, looking at the few live fish in the stream, several people were a little happy, but thinking that there was no fire source to cook them, their hearts were half cold.
In the end, Bai Zhi, who still couldn't look at it, rolled up her trouser legs, jumped into the icy stream, and caught live fish with her eyes and hands, almost with one hand, and saw her throwing them to the shore one by one like pliers in both hands.
It took less than ten minutes to catch them all.
Coming out of the stream, Bai Zhi couldn't help but shiver, but she shook Bai Shengsheng's little feet carelessly, and raised her head to signal Leng Yang to clean up the fish.
Wearing the obvious size of several sizes, but the sturdy boots were better, the laces were tightly tied, and she lifted her foot to rush deep into the rainforest.
"Why are you going?" It was Liang Shengqing who stopped her.
Bai Zhi waved his hand without looking back, "Go find some dry branches to make a fire, you can't eat shredded raw fish." ”
As soon as the words fell, she had completely melted into the depths of the rainforest, and she couldn't see clearly.
Liang Shengqing sighed, and when she turned around, she saw Han Qianxia and Bai Luoya, who were sitting diligently waiting to eat and drink, and they were angry, they were still concentrating on infighting, and they had no intention of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
endured it for more than a month, and finally couldn't help it, "Look at what you all look like, six mouths, all waiting for Bai Zhi to find food alone, when she came out of the villa, more than 100 catties, now she is 1.7 meters tall, only 90 catties, only a handful of bones left, and you have to climb high trees, go down to the cold stream, rain or shine to find food, come to Zhang Luo Our day's stomach, what is the reason?" ”
"She's only twenty-one, the youngest of us." By the end, she was choked up.
Ze Qi was silent, looked at his uncompetitive left leg, sighed softly, and suddenly raised his hand and slammed it down, making a clear sound of bone joints colliding.
"What are you doing here!" Liang Shengqing didn't have time to wipe the tears on his face, so he screamed and threw himself at Zeqi's feet, "If you smash your bones and crack, what should I do!" There are no medical facilities here that can cure you. ”
"If you don't need it at a critical moment, you can scrap it." Ze Qi replied with a pair of gloomy peach blossom eyes and an expressionless face.
"You ......" Liang Shengqing seemed to be ten years old in an instant, looking like he hated iron but not steel, pointing at Zeuru, but he couldn't speak, and finally checked the consequences of Zeuru's impulsiveness.
Fortunately, the leg bones are stronger than the phalanges, and Zeuru's punch was very hard, but it didn't hit the joints, so it didn't have much impact.
"It's my fault," she blamed herself resignedly while being right for him, "It's me who talks a lot, it's me who doesn't talk anymore." ”
From beginning to end, Leng Yang, Han Qianxia, and Bai Luoya all treated each other coldly, looking indifferent.
Only Wen Jingning, a big man of more than one meter and eight meters, lowered his head and tugged at the corners of his clothes, extremely ashamed.
The six of them sat in the cave and waited and waited, and in the darkness of the night, they finally waited for the searchlight above their heads, carrying two bundles of plastic bags and branches on the ground, and staggering back to here.
Leng Yang and Wen Jingning quickly got up, opened the small wooden door, rushed towards her, and took two bundles of slightly damp but barely lit branches with a happy face, and happily rushed to the cave like a primary school student who had scored a perfect score in the exam.
Han Qianxia rarely took the initiative to sprinkle the cooking wine that had already been mixed on the long-marinated fish, and Bai Luoya was not to be outdone, and lit the match, only Zeuru was full of heart and eyes only Bai Zhi.
Seeing her fall at the end and slowly enter the cave, not only frowned, but also longed to get up to meet her and see why she was so haggard.
And Liang Shengqing pressed his shoulder, signaled him to be honest, don't make trouble, and quickly greeted Bai Zhi and asked her what was wrong.
Bai Zhi shook her head, saying that there was nothing on her lips, but the hand held by Liang Shengqing involuntarily pulled back.
Liang Shengqing instantly sensed that something was wrong with her, and without waiting for her to react, she followed the faint searchlight above her head and lifted her sleeves to look.
It was a mottled wound cut by the animal's teeth, although it was not deep, the surface of the skin was cut, and it was amazingly painful when rubbed by the clothing, but from beginning to end, Bai Zhi just had a pale little face, silent, like the original lacquer.
At this time, with the efforts of Leng Yang and the four people, the branches have been ignited, and they don't care about the hardships of the giver, as long as they can have a full stomach, they can manage so much.
But the cave was lit by firewood, and it was bright in an instant, Bai Zhi pressed the switch of the searchlight and took off the top of her head, there was no reflection of the dazzling light, Ze Qi and Liang Shengqing both noticed that her little face that was finally perfected, full of mottled scratches, and blood stains, as if it was a masterpiece from the same beast.
"Xiao Zhi," Liang Shengqing, who was distressed and found the ointment to smear it on her inch by inch, was completely solemn, "You tell Sister Qing clearly, where did you find such a hard-to-find dry branch?" ”
The aroma of grilled fish was already wafting in the cave, and the warm light of the fire illuminated the indifferent faces of the other three, cold and cold, freezing the blood of the giver.
"I found a man-high wolf's den, and sneaked in to find a dry branch while the wolves were out hunting. It's just that when I came out, I delayed for a while, and I met a she-wolf who came back to nurse and was scratched by it a few times. ”
She said it lightly, but God knows how dangerous the process was, and how long she planned to step on it for this firewood steal.
Since the fruit trees around her were almost all picked by her, she had to start to go deeper into the rainforest, once she accidentally climbed on the branch to pick wild fruits, and one peeked out from between her fingers, she looked down to fish, and saw a one-man high wolf cave in the shadow of the bushes.
At the entrance of the cave lay a few lazy sea wolves that were several times larger than the wolves in the zoo, their coats were cold gray, and only a layer of snow-white and lengthy fur was wrapped around their necks, like a pure white scarf.
And with this layer of "scarves", they, a group of land mammals, are able to hunt delicious marine life in the deep sea.
This rare animal did not arouse much interest in Angelica, and what really made her look at it was an unweaned young wolf with a dry branch in its mouth, and she was playing with it all by herself.
She tugged at the branch, stretched her head, and looked deeper into the cave, and sure enough, she saw a layer of dry branches and leaves in the wolf's den.
