Chapter 153: A Pot of Wine in the Shallow Creek
Several people followed the signs on the map and headed towards the river in the distance, collecting fruit as they went. Their trip today was relatively easy, because almost all of the routes marked on the map were to walk on slopes close to the mountains.
The vegetation where mountains and forests meet is much sparser than in forests and ravines, and knives are rarely needed to open the way, which saves them a lot of time and energy.
Moreover, it is also a rare place where the wind blows by chance. A burst of plant fragrance caressed the face, making people refreshed, the head seemed to be much clearer, eight beauties were divided into three groups, chattering, but there was a bit of the taste of playing in the mountains and waters.
Since you can often come across edible fruits, and most of the tropical fruits are plants with high water content, the group did not rest for a whole day, so they did not hurry, and walked while eating, without feeling hungry and thirsty.
Everyone's backpack is not heavy, the heaviest thing is two submachine guns, but on the two strongest men, Yun Ya Nuan and Pete have long been accustomed to walking with weight like this, and this weight is not taken seriously at all.
In the evening, when the sun set over the distant trees, they came to a large field of flowers, not weeds, but trees with bright red flowers.
You can't be sure if the petals bigger than the palm of your hand are leaves or flowers, but you can't help but be amazed by the beauty of the view.
The crowd walked by, startling countless butterflies of all sizes to dance. A slender meandering stream flowed quietly through the red woods, like a timid elf, hiding in the enchanting red.
The stream is so small that Pete can even jump over it without a run, and the shallow water overflows the dense and rounded pebbles at the bottom of the water, reflecting the red fireworks on it, giving people the feeling that the sky and the earth are the same color.
Mike stepped his foot into the stream, and the colorful pebbles inside were strong and did not sink, and there was no silt underneath, and the shallow stream barely reached the surface of his feet.
Only a small half of the sun's face was in sight, still holding the lute and half covering his face, and it was estimated that in another hour, the sky would be dark, Pete waved his hand to stop everyone, and he strode along the riverbank and came back.
He was looking for a suitable place to camp, and the creek was so small that instead of the riverbank, it was so densely vegetated that it was crowded together with high and low water, so that there was nowhere to put your feet.
"Let's camp in the same place, the vegetation on both sides is too dense!" Pete said to Yun Yanuan, it seems that there is only one person in this team who needs him to explain.
Yun Yanuan nodded and said, "That's fine, you can get up tomorrow and set off, it's no better." ”
The mangrove scenery at sunset is even more pleasant, and Yunya Nuan and Pete can't help but laugh when they look at a few women, these two big men really don't have this kind of romantic cells.
But big men also have the benefits of big men, and the two old men waved their hands and took care of all the tent construction work, so that a few women and Mike, who was still in a crippled state, could enjoy the beautiful scenery with little time left, after all, when the sun completely set, even in bright red, they would succumb to darkness.
Five tents were quickly erected under the hands of two vigorous and resolute people, and even at this moment, you can still see the red in the dimness, several people are not hungry, and their mouths have not stopped much along the way, although they eat fruit, but their stomachs are not empty.
But the campfires had to be lit because they needed boiling water, and these people wouldn't be stupid enough to drink the raw water from the rainforest, which was no different from suicide.
The sparsely vegetated area was narrow, just in their way, so five tents were lined up and connected to each other, and two campfires were lit and placed at opposite ends of the camp for protection.
When the bonfire was lit, the seemingly endless cloud of fire completely melted into the darkness, the stars hung in the sky, and the women soaked their towels in boiling water and wiped their bodies in the tents.
Yun Ya Nuan sat by the river, watching the stream flow into the dark valley in the distance, where the vegetation was so dense that it was impossible to see the deep scenery, and he looked at the map of the animal skins that the natives had given him, and according to the signs on it, they would follow the stream all the way down tomorrow to the great river where the boat could be taken.
The vegetation on both sides of the stream is so dense that it means that they will have to wade through the water from tomorrow, but there is nothing wrong with this, for walking in such a shallow stream is a paradise than a path through the dense vegetation, and even if the stream is waist-deep, it will be much easier than a mountain path.
Pete walked over, sat next to Yun Yanuan, looked at the valley in the distance, Yun Yanuan took out two self-rolled cigars in his bag and handed one to Pete.
As soon as this stout guy saw this thing, his happy mouth grinned to the back of his head, lit it and took a hard puff, rolled his eyes, his lips trembled, and there was not a trace of smoke running out, which shows that this guy is definitely an old smoker, and he has long been suffocated.
"Hi Cloud, you know what? I used to have high alcohol and cigars with me, because my greatest wish was to be able to take a sip of a cigar and a sip of wine when I died, and I don't think I regretted it at all! Pete said with some emotion.
Yun Yanuan can understand this mood, people who often face death are often their own philosophers, and their perspective on things is not simple interests, but more between life and death.
In this world, the people who don't like to fight and brawl the most are those fighters who have seen life and death, and even killed people with their own hands, because they know what it means to be brave, what it means to pretend to be forced, and they also understand that life is far from being as strong as imagined!
Once you look at things in terms of life and death, you will find that many things are trivial. Many religious beliefs can sublimate a person's spirit and have a unique temperament, because religion often makes people look at problems with life and death.
Diana saw Yun Ya Nuan and Pete sitting by the river chatting, and when she heard what they said, she couldn't help but smile and walked over and squeezed around Yun Ya Nuan, but it was clear that the open space on Pete's side was larger.
She opened the backpack behind her, carefully took out a clay pot inside, looked at Yunya and winked mischievously, and then said to Pete on the side: "Hey, Pete, guess what's in here?" ”
Pete looked at the woman with an angel face and a devilish body, and looked at the unsightly clay jar in her hand, and was a little confused for a while. Diana slapped off the sealed dirt and pulled out the cork of the jar, and suddenly a crisp aroma of wine filled the air.
With a "grunt", Pete swallowed a long mouthful of saliva, his eyes sparkling.
Yun Yanuan knocked on Diana's head, and scolded with a smile: "You little bastard, why did you still bring a can when you asked you not to take the wine?" How heavy! ”
Diana touched her head with a smile and smiled: "It's not just me, Maya and Kexin also have belts, you have to beat their heads again, otherwise I won't follow you!" ”
"Beauty first, please!" Yun Yanuan said.
The wine glass is cut from bamboo, so many people want to drink water and soup, there must always be a container. The three of them took bamboo cups and poured them full of mixed fruit wine, and Pete licked it with his tongue and moistened it on his lips, feeling the sweetness and richness of the wine.
He was a little reluctant to drink it, afraid that if he took this mouthful, it would be gone, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, which should be more disappointing. Diana looked at Pete's stingy appearance, couldn't help laughing, hurriedly handed over the wine jar and said:
"Silly big man, it's all yours, don't be reluctant to drink!"
This is the meaning of closeness, and it is also what a team should look like. Diana likes to drink, but she doesn't drink much, one cup is enough, and Yun Yanuan doesn't drink a drop of wine unless someone else asks him to drink, so this jar of wine is naturally cheaper than Pete.
Pete took the flask gratefully, but he was a little grateful in his heart, as if he felt that Diana was much closer to him, and he was even thinking that if he could have Diana, then he would not bother to touch the women in the world, maybe this is: once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud.
