Chapter 145: The Other Side of the Mountain
This time, Xiong Lei listened to Jiaqi's words rarely, but they didn't know that such a simple decision of theirs would almost happen irreparable......
In the end, Xiong Lei decided to go around the side of the mountain, after all, if he walked from the middle of the mountain, it was likely that there would be no road halfway through the car like last time......
Before Xiong Neng drove again, he took out the tortoiseshell compass again, and he wanted to determine his position again......
He held the compass on his left hand, pinched his hand with the other hand, and chanted a spell in his mouth, and with the sound of the incantation, the pointer on the tortoiseshell dragon disk slowly turned......
Somewhat unexpectedly, the pointer on the tortoiseshell dragon disk happened to point to the direction of a high mountain not far away, which was on the same mountain that they had spent the night on before and could not climb......
The bear man was a little surprised and said, "Old witch! Hurry up and get moving! I'm sure I'm going to get my bearings! ”
"Okay!"
After a few hours of driving, Xiong Lei had already begun to determine that what he was looking for was behind his mountain......
Xiong Lei said a little excitedly: "Look at this compass!" Doesn't that tell me that the person we're looking for is in the mountains? ”
Wu Ke nodded, "Otherwise, I'll go further!" ”
The car drove in the direction of the mountain again, but no matter which direction they went to the mountain, the pointer on the tortoiseshell compass always pointed to that mountain!
Xiong Lei said happily: "Great! It should be there! All we have to do is drive to the west side of the mountain, and we can go up from there, right? ”
"But isn't that mountain impossible to climb? Our car may not be able to drive, it may need to be climbed by people, and you look at the mountains over there, the cliffs, it seems that it is not easy to climb! Wu Ke said......
Xiong Lei said, "Let's go over and have a look first!" It's much easier to drive than to walk, and if you really can't drive up at that time, we're choosing to climb the mountain by manpower! ”
Everyone unanimously agreed to Xiong Lei's proposal......
However, everyone gradually drove around the mountain, but found that the scenery on this side of the mountain was completely different from the other side of the mountain......
On the other side of the mountain, although there is a wild wolf ditch, it is also lush with trees, lush branches, and sometimes you can see other wild animals, which can be said to be a very good primitive ecological environment...
However, when I turned to the west side of the mountain, I found that although the trees were very tall and towering, because of this, the mountain had no contact with sunlight for a long time, and many branches were dry, and the ground was full of yellow weeds......
"How so?" Seeing the scene in front of her, Jiaqi couldn't help but ask......
"Actually, I want to know that there is a wolf ditch on the other side of the mountain. Wolves are not stupid, how can they live in a place with a bad environment! Xiong Lei said......
But Xiao Dezi, who had been sitting in the back seat of the car, didn't speak for a long time, he sighed and said, "It turns out that this is not the case here at all......"
"yes, how did I forget you lived here! You should know a little bit about this! What is the topography of this mountain? ”
"This mountain is indeed very steep, and I am afraid that the car will not be able to get up......" Xiao Dezi's eyes looked into the distance, as if he fell into a memory......
After a while, he continued: "And when I was young, this place was also like the opposite leafy scene, I don't know what I have experienced in the past hundred years, how did it become like this?" ”
Xiong Lei asked, "Is there a way up the mountain?" ”
"Yes, yes, but I've kind of forgotten how I got there." Xiao Dezi replied. "I suddenly remembered that once when I was a child, I was playing in the mountains, and I accidentally found a cave, and it seemed that I could hear the other side, but I was young at the time, and I didn't dare to walk into it......"
Xiong Lei sighed lightly and said, "Now I can only walk around and look at ......"
While he was talking, there was a gurgling sound of running water in front of him, and Xiong Lei suddenly said with some surprise: "I seem to hear the sound of water!" ”
At this time, Xiao Dezi also said with some excitement: "Hmm...... Yes! I remembered that this is a neighborhood, and there is indeed a water source, and the people on the mountain depend on this water for their lives! ”
Xiong Lei nodded and said, "Otherwise, let's go and have a look!" Maybe you'll find something else! ”
"Good!" Xiao Dezi readily agreed......
Under the leadership of Xiao Dezi, he didn't go far before a waterfall appeared in front of him, which was more than ten meters high, and there was a turbulent river below......
On both sides of the waterfall is a large tree with a crooked neck, and the river below the waterfall also narrows from wide to wide, and the widest part resembles a large lake......
"Wow! This water is so cool! Jiaqi said happily as she sipped the water......
Xiong Lai also squatted at the water's edge, picked up a handful of water with his hand, and washed his face......
The water was cool and refreshing, Xiong Lei picked up a little more and drank it in small sips, "It's delicious!" ”
Xiao Dezi squatted at the water's edge and looked into the water in disappointment, his eyes full of sadness......
Xiong Lei asked a little curiously, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xiong Lei came to Xiao Dezi's side, and also looked at the water curiously...... However, only Xiong Lei's own reflection was reflected in the water......
At this time, Xiong Lei didn't know what words to use to comfort him, so he could only sigh lightly and turn on the awkward chat mode: "Say, you were quite happy when you were a child, and you have such a good growth environment......"
But Xiao Dezi didn't seem to want to talk to Xiong Lei anymore, so he only nodded lightly and didn't speak again......
At this time, Jiaqi had already taken off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and was eager to go into the water to try the coolness......
When Xiong Lei saw Jiaqi's appearance, he hurriedly said, "Eh! What are you doing? Don't pollute the environment here! ”
Jiaqi smiled and ignored Xiong Lei completely, shouting: "Brother Ke, hurry up and help me, I want to go down and get wet!" ”
"Don't play, the water is too cold, and the water is urgent, it's not safe!" Wu Ke admonished......
"Let me play! Just a moment, I'm too tired these days, it's a day in the car, and finally there is such a beautiful river, just let me play, okay? Jiaqi begged......
"Then you have to pay attention to safety......"
"No problem, I'm in good hands!" But before the words fell, Jiaqi suddenly slipped under her feet, stepped on a round pebble, and sat down in the water......
"Oops!" With the splash, Jiaqi screamed......
