Chapter 5: Returning to the Tribe: Twenty-Eight, Burying the Bones
We quickly caught up with the group outside that valley at the mouth of the gale.
At this time, Li Lili and my younger brother took everyone to rest outside the valley, waiting for me and Xiaoni.
Looking at the wind outlet, I began to wonder in my heart how to use this natural power to consume the strength of those people who might exist and were attracted by Ruoyu. I asked Li Lili and Lao Pao to take a few people to find the bones left by Xiao Xiao last year, and then find a place outside the valley to bury them. I asked Xiao Ni to stare at Ruoyu to death, so that Ruoyu would not do anything that people couldn't prevent again. I myself patrolled along the edge of the vent.
There is only one mountain road through the wind outlet, and it looms among the rocks. If it weren't for people who had been here and knew the direction of progress, it would be difficult for outsiders to distinguish between the east, the south, the west, and the north. If you can do something on this road, it will definitely be a lot of trouble. The wind in the tuyere is abnormal, and as soon as a person walks into the pile of rocks, his vision is blocked, and the stones of similar size and shape are easy to confuse. As long as there are not many people coming, this place can make them suffer.
After a long period of patrolling the storm, I had an idea in my mind.
When I returned to the valley outside the wind, Li Lili and Lao Pao and a few people had already found the bones left by Xiao Xiao last year, and dug a pit in a small open space on the side of the road to bury Xiao Xiao. They found a piece of wood and asked Xiao Xiao to carve Xiao Xiao's name on it with a knife, and inserted the wood on Xiao Xiao's tomb.
Li Lili told me that they found Xiao Xiao on the top of the big rock where they last saw Xiao Xiao last year, and Xiao Xiao only had a complete skeleton left.
After burying Xiao Xiao, everyone simply paid tribute. Everyone bowed silently in front of Xiao Xiao's grave. Only Li Lili sprinkled a small bottle of Erguotou wine in front of Xiao Xiao's grave. Li Lili seemed to feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, he said, "Brother, you are gone, and I will collect your body." I wonder if I will receive my body when I die? ”
Lao Pao stretched out his hand and patted Li Lili's shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be so sad. If you die, I'll collect your body. Although I dare not say that I will give you a beautiful burial, I will never let you be in the wilderness. Anyway, we're brothers. ”
Li Lili took a sip of the old cannon, "If you want to die, you will die first, and I will collect your corpse." ”
Ruoyu was also a little sad, "Last time we came in more than ten people, now there are less than half of them left." I wonder how many of us will stay here forever if we go in this time? ”
Xiao Ni quietly pulled me aside and told me that Ruoyu really couldn't hold it back, and there was a small movement again. Ruoyu took advantage of everyone's rest, and a person sneaked into the mouth of the gale, leaving a mark in the direction of the tribe. I asked Xiao Ni to pretend that she didn't know anything, so as not to alarm Ruoyu first.
I still let Li Lili and my little brother take everyone to go first, and Xiaoni and I stayed behind.
Before leaving, the old cannon was a little dissatisfied and said, "What's the situation?" It's mysterious! ”
Xiao Ni said, "Family matters, it has nothing to do with you. ”
Li Lili said, "I understand, my sister-in-law's legs are half of my brother-in-law's." ”
Xiao Ni glared at Li Lili, "Open defecation is not allowed." ”
I said, "Although the fairy tongue is unscrupulous, do you know the consequences of offending the boss?!" ”
Li Lili wanted to say something more, but when he saw the little brother who was looking at him angrily, he immediately fell silent, turned his head and led everyone forward.
After everyone left, Xiao Ni took me to the place where Ruoyu left a mark. It's a very casual little pattern, and if you don't have a heart, you won't even care about this mark. Two small stones dragged back irregularly, and one small stone protruded forward. In this simple pattern, the stone that protrudes is the one that indicates the direction. The use of this method also illustrates the caution of Wakayu. Even if she stood with everyone, she seemed to kick the small stone with her foot inadvertently, and no one would care, no one would think of the mystery, just think that she was idle and kicking the small stone to play. But from this, I also saw the depth of Ruoyu's scheming.
I stopped Xiao Ni who was trying to break the mark, and said, "Since people want to play, let's play with them." "I shifted the position of the three stones a little so that the front one pointed in the other direction.
Xiao Ni said, "Will people be fooled? ”
I said, "Who knows, it's idle anyway, try your luck." ”
In the pile of rocks at the mouth of the wind, Xiao Ni and I found many marks left by Ruoyu, sometimes a line drawn by a stone on a large stone, and sometimes a simple pattern of three small stones. Xiao Ni and I found one and destroyed one.
Xiao Ni was a little puzzled and said, "Why did the previous mark just move the direction, but now the mark has to be completely destroyed?" ”
I said, "There's no why, I just want them to train into a swarm of headless flies." ”
Xiao Ni smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so bad! ”
After exiting the storm, I surveyed the terrain all the way, looking for a suitable spot to stop the trailing people. Thinking about how to use the non-stop flying sand and rolling stones to create more and bigger problems for the tailgating. Fortunately, it was difficult to walk along the way, and Xiao Ni could only concentrate on walking, and did not care about anything else. It also saves me the time to look around and talk about him, to be able to look at it carefully and design it carefully.
Along the way, I had an idea of the topography and the valleys, and I had a plan to make the most of them. By the time I made it up the last hill, I was already confident.
Li Lili and his younger brother did not take everyone into the village, but rested on the hillside, waiting for me and Xiaoni who walked behind.
When I climbed the hillside, I saw Li Lili standing on the hillside with his back to me, looking at the valley in a daze.
I looked at the golden wheat fields surrounded by the greenery of this huge valley. Look at the endless blue sky and the golden waves of wheat under the endless sky. Look at all the surrounding mountains competing to show their own style, graceful in the golden sun. The leaves of various trees are dazzlingly green and transparent. There was a lot of emotion in my heart. It's been a year, and the things that came here and left here a year ago are vivid. It's just that the scenery is still the same, but the time is no more.
As I stood on the top of the slope, I faintly heard a song coming from far away. Is this Uncle Goog's singing? This song is flying everywhere under the sky, and there is an irrepressible passion wafting in the air, which makes people can't help but feel the blood boiling in their hearts.
