Chapter 25: Lost

The position we were in was even more confusing than the trail we first walked.

In all directions, except for the trees, the density of the forest has increased several times compared to the beginning.

When I looked up, I couldn't even see the moon, and the canopy of the trees was all blocked.

"Go back the way you came, right?" Chen Qiuyan whispered, tugging at the corners of my clothes, and seemed to be starting to be afraid: "This place is strange and scary, even if there is no dirty thing, you can't bear it when you encounter poisonous snakes and beasts.......

"Go back the way you came?"

When I heard this, I could only smile bitterly.

In the process of running, in order to avoid the thorn bushes in the road, we turned seven or eight turns......

It's easy to go back the way you came, but the question is where is the way you came?

"Which of you has a compass?" Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, I asked.

Chang Longxiang and Qibao spread their hands, saying that they didn't bring any equipment, and they came completely empty-handed.

As for Chen Qiuyan, she did bring a box of equipment, but the compass didn't seem to be in her plan.

"It's over." I said helplessly: "We're really 'lost'!" ”

"It's okay, we can find the direction according to the stars in the sky!" Qibao swore an oath, looked left and right, picked a tree that was easier to climb, and swooped up after a few swishs.

When he got into the canopy, he was still talking to us: "When it comes to the moment of crisis, it doesn't depend on you brother Bao, you really can't do it without me, if you want me to ......."

At this point, Shippo was silent.

After about half a minute, he crawled down and looked at us, but he didn't squeak.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, "Have you found your way back?" ”

"There are trees on all sides, and I can't see where the road is." Qibao whispered.

"I'm asking about the stars!" I said amusedly, "Didn't you say you could find your way by relying on the stars?" What's going on? ”

When Shippo heard this, his expression suddenly became more embarrassed, and his voice became lower and lower.

"What's that...... Cloudy ........"

"Gua baby! I know you're not reliable! "I was so angry that I scolded, and I said that you are really a treasure, and you have been selling for a long time, giving me so much hope, but you are cloudy!?

Qibao's skin was thicker than I thought, and after a while, he had the heart to talk back, and looked at me disdainfully and said, "Why don't you go up and have a look?" You have the ability to drive the clouds away! At that time, I'll show you what star hunting is! ”

"If I had that ability, I would still be able to use you?"

"Why don't we wander around?" Chang Longxiang also had an idea at this time, and he smiled and couldn't see the slightest nervousness: "If we still can't find our way back, let's wait until dawn, and then think about it slowly." ”

"That's all it can be." I sighed, put my duffel bag on the ground, and said without raising my head: "Eat something to cushion your stomach first, and the most important thing is to conserve your strength." ”

As soon as he heard about eating, Chang Longxiang's eyes lit up.

"What do you have to eat?"

"Only compressed biscuits." I said helplessly: "It's not very delicious, but I'm hungry!" ”

"How?" Chang Longxiang cautiously asked me: "If the quantity is small, then I will eat less, lest you not have enough to eat." ”

"Seven or eight more." I smiled: "This is still left over from the last job, I can be full by eating one piece, how many pieces do you want to eat?" ”

"Then three." Chang Longxiang wiped a handful of saliva: "The more I eat, the more strength I have, and when the time comes, ...... Oh yes! We can roast wild boar and eat it! ”

"Great idea!" Shippo also began to swallow, and his eyes lit up and said, "I have a knife here!" Let's roast the pig's 'legs' to eat! ”

Before I could say anything, these two embarrassed 'traitors' went over with knives.

Seeing them like that is like a starving ghost reincarnated, you can be as anxious as you want.

"Well, they kill the pigs, let's 'make' a bonfire."

Chen Qiuyan hummed, put down the suitcase and accompanied me to collect firewood.

By the time we put the fire together, Shippo and Chang Long Elephant had also completed their task.

It seemed that they were not too dirty, and one of them walked over with a wild boar 'leg'.

"Brother Shen, your craftsmanship is better than mine, can you bake it?"

"Okay."

Although we didn't bring any spices, we didn't care about it so much at that time, so we burned the pig's 'hair' and roasted it with a branch, and after a while, there was a smell of 'meat'.

When the pig's 'legs' were cooked, no one was polite, and they sat cross-legged on the grass and ate them.

How big is Chang Longxiang's meal, I found the answer to this question when I gnawed on the pig's 'legs'.

This fat man is really edible....... I suspect that he is the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie! That's ridiculously large!

A pig's 'leg', me, Qibao, Chen Qiuyan, three people.

Another pig's 'leg' all went into Chang Longxiang's stomach, and he hadn't eaten yet, so he went to cut two large ribs and came back, so I roasted him and ate them.

"It's so comfortable......"

Chang Longxiang finished nibbling the last piece of pork chop, threw it on the ground, and fell to the ground with his head up, lying comfortably.

That expression was incomparably satisfying.

"You eat so much...... Will it be indigestion? I asked him tentatively, a little worried.

"No, it won't." Chang Longxiang said with certainty, patted his 'chest', and looked confident: "The stomach beaten by iron can't be broken!" ”

Chen Qiuyan suddenly wrinkled her nose, as if she was smelling something.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"There's a smell, do you smell it?" Chen Qiuyan said as if she had something to do, her face was full of doubts: "How does it smell like braised 'meat'......."

"Braised 'meat'?!"

Chang Long sat up like a 'stiff' body, like a corpse, and sucked in sharply with a wrinkled nose.

"Hey! There really is! Chang Longxiang was so excited that he seemed to think that the braised 'meat' was right in front of him, and hurriedly asked me: "Brother, why don't we go and have a look?" ”

At this time, I also smelled the smell that Chen Qiuyan said.

Truly.

As she said, the aroma is very similar to the taste of braised 'meat', and it is heavier than the ordinary braised 'meat', and there is a greasy feeling.

"That's not right......" I frowned, a little puzzled, "Where did the braised 'meat' come from in the mountains?" ”

"Could it be someone?" Shippo asked me.

"I can't say." I whispered, "If it's not our people, then it's probably those gentlemen under the mountain, maybe it's still that Gu Master!" ”

Hearing me say this, Shippo and the others were also a little nervous.

"Or ...... Let's take a look? ”

Qibao asked, and analyzed with me: "Anyway, the odds of meeting someone are about the same, so let's take a gamble, if we meet our own people, it will be easier to go back!" ”

"That's just as well." I nodded: "That Gu Master is not here, it should be on the other side of the mountain, and it is still 'quite' far away from us." ”

"What if you don't meet someone you're talking to?" Chen Qiuyan was a little worried, and asked me nervously: "Those gentlemen under the mountain, if you don't deal with your old man, if you ......."

"Sister Chen, it's okay." I patted Chen Qiuyan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Those gentlemen really hate my grandfather, but they are also afraid of my grandfather, as long as the old man does not die, no one dares to deal with me." ”

"Are you stupid?" Qibao gave me a blank look and said, "Now there are no outsiders, what if they take advantage of the darkness to vent your anger?" ”

"They don't dare." I shrugged my shoulders confidently: "My grandfather is notorious in the industry, if they dare to do me, the old man can hold a grudge against all the gentlemen under the mountain, and then I will have to settle accounts with them one by one........"

As soon as the words fell, I lifted my duffel bag and put it back on my back.

"Fatty, Qibao, you two should pay attention for a while, run away if the situation is not right, and don't have a head-on conflict." I looked at them very seriously, and instructed: "The living are more difficult to deal with than the wronged, this is what my grandfather said, we have to remember it." ”

"Understood."

Qibao nodded, pulled out the dagger, and said, "I'll take the lead with the fat man, you are in the back hall, and Sister Chen is in the middle, no problem, right?" ”

"My Highness." Chang Longxiang smiled: "If someone sneaks up from behind, I'll make sure to shoot him on the head." ”
