Chapter 17: The Secret Realm 2
The soft morning light sprinkled on my body made people feel very warm. I had already woken up, but I didn't open my eyes and continued to lie down, I wanted to enjoy the peace for a while, and the sound of birds and insects in my ears told me that it was safe. But after all, I still have to come back to reality, and I opened my eyes and sat up at the thought of the situation we are facing now.
'Up?' Tatsuko said to me.
"Well, why did you get up so early?" I looked at Tatsuko and asked, although I have been closing my eyes to recuperate, I can clearly feel that Tatsuko has already gotten up and has been sitting there in a daze.
Tatsuko: "I can't sleep, and it's not too early to say that the sun is quite high." “
I looked at the scorching sun above my head with my hands half-covered with my eyes: "You make a fire first, and I'll go and see the trap set yesterday." “
With that, I got up and walked towards the place where the trap was set yesterday.
Yesterday I made a few simple traps to see if I could get something to eat, but I didn't expect it to be good and a little rewarding. When I came back, the fire had been lit, and I roasted the prepared rabbits on the fire.
Tatsuko: "What are we going to do next, do you have any plans?" “
I looked up at Tatsuko, I thought to myself, this kid has changed, a lot calmer, at least not so pretentious, although I still see confusion in my eyes, but also with a little tenacity, that's enough!
"I haven't said anything yet, I'll eat something for a while, then find a high place and use a telescope to observe the basic environment here first, and see if I can find the kind of plant that captured Dongzi." I thought about it and said.
"What if you don't find it..." Tatsuko said meaningfully with her head down.
"If not, then find a higher one, but no... Then we'll try to find an exit. I was silent for a long time, and then I spoke.
Tatsuko: "Okay, I'll listen to you, that's all I can do."
Yesterday, I suddenly ran from the rock wall of the underground fortress to such a place, which really made it a little difficult for Tatsuko and me to get used to, and it was even more difficult to accept. But after a night, I thought about it that it was consistent with the so-called portal-like magnetic field jealousy mentioned in Little Japan's diary. And last night we were suddenly awakened in our sleep, because from the depths of the dense forest came the roar of various fierce beasts, although we were far away, but we could also feel the fierce and fierce aura. This also confirms that the area similar to the magnetic field of the portal mentioned in the diary often contains some fierce beasts or strange creatures. And how can there be this scene in our outside world, now you can find a roe deer or something, it's a special meow to see something, just last night, the roar of the beast will never be heard in our outside world, unless you go to the African savannah...
Tatsuko and I both heard the roar clearly.,And I clearly understand what it means.,We're not in the world we know.,It's a secret realm similar to the Peach Blossom Spring.,Unlike the description of the Peach Blossom Spring, it doesn't seem to be very peaceful here.。。。
'Be careful, don't get separated from me!' I told Tatsuko.
'Well, I know. Tatsuko also responded to me seriously.
After eating, we decided to start on our way, towards the nearest high mountain. Because I was afraid that I would not be able to see the location clearly when I entered the forest, I first determined the approximate location of the high mountain, which was probably southwest.
The method of determination is simple; It is to use a piece of wood to stick vertically into the ground, it will have a shadow, you put a stone on the top of the shadow, and after ten minutes the shadow will be shortened, then you put a stone on the top, and then draw a horizontal line between the two stones to draw a vertical line, and then mark the four points A, B, C, D, the point facing the sun is probably the south, and then draw a diagonal line to know where the southwest is about.
Tatsuko and I walked about three or four kilometers inside, and what caught our eyes was a denser forest, and the sunlight that obscured the sky could not directly penetrate the dense foliage to reach the ground, only a few scattered beams of light added brilliance to this somewhat dim primeval dense forest. When I walked inside, I began to see the bones of some animals, including tigers and leopards, as well as many unknown huge bones, seven or eight meters, more than ten meters long broken skeletons, scattered among the forests, grasses and shrubs, which looked terrifying.
I tried my best to suppress the fear in my heart and walked forward cautiously, I looked at Tatsuko, and I could clearly see that his face was a little pale. He looked at me too, and I nodded at him and whispered, "Be careful!" He nodded in response.
At that time, it was quite close to the mountain, but by the time Tatsuko and I reached the top, the sun had already begun to set in the west.
The red sun fell in the west, and the afterglow fell on the horizon, burning the red sky and the forest sea together, the top of the mountain, the smoke, a remnant red. It's beautiful! When I was immersed in this beautiful scenery, suddenly a deafening roar came from a distance, and then from a distance, a series of roars sounded one after another.
I hurried to look through my binoculars, but I couldn't see anything at all. As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast forest sea, all areas are covered by primeval forests, a piece of towering ancient trees cover the sky, nothing can be seen, only all kinds of fierce beasts and birds of prey can be heard, bursts of roars go straight to the sky, it is simply a scene of the wild era. This is really shocking, but it also means that our hope of finding Dongzi is even slimmer, and even our chances of getting out are even weaker.
Tatsuko: "Can you see that?" “
I looked at Tatsuko and didn't speak, in fact, what he saw was no different from what I saw with the binocular, I sighed and handed him the telescope.
At night, I lay in a simple tent made of tree branches, looked at the stars in the sky, listened to the roars of various beasts in the distance, and muttered, "Is this a meow of wild beasts partying?" “
In fact, we have to admire the greatness of our ancestors, in the flood era, they relied on their hands to fight with the sky and the earth without anything, and they also faced the threat of various natural disasters and beasts. In the end, they overcame all kinds of difficulties, defeated all kinds of beasts, and became the masters of this land, and it is hard to imagine how they did it.
I can't help but think that Westerners always say that we don't have faith, and what I want to say is "When the day falls, we have Nuwa to make up for the sky!" When the flood comes, we have Dayu to control the water! When the mountains get in the way, we have the fool to move the mountains! When the sun is scorching, we have Houyi shooting the sun! In my opinion, these are not simple myths, but a spirit that has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors! This is our faith, and it should be our faith, and we believe that we can overcome everything by relying on the united efforts of all of us! And you will only beg God for mercy...
