Chapter 18: Beacon Smoke

"The third possibility: call for help!" Xiao Ruo said, he wrote a capital three on the ground, and then wrote an Arabic numeral one, saying, "The first possibility is to use a mobile phone to call for help." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info this is a direct denial! Since we don't have a mobile phone, even if we do, there may not be a signal. The second possibility: shouting for help. This article also denies. Not to mention whether our voice can be heard, even if it does, we don't know if there is anyone around. And it will greatly deplete our physical strength, which in turn will consume our food and water, and end our death prematurely. The third possibility: set off the beacon fire! ”

"Beacon?" My eyes lit up, perhaps because I was used to using high technology, and I had forgotten this oldest method of communication!

Xiao Ruo nodded and said, "There are a lot of fallen dead branches here, as well as damp soil, which can easily release huge smoke. And it can last for a long time, as long as our smoke is big enough and rises high enough, it can be seen from dozens of miles away. If there are people living around here, they will definitely come and check when they see smoke in this deep valley, and then we can set fire to gasoline and signal that there are people below. They would call the police, and the firefighters would come to our rescue, or even drop the rope and pick us up. If it's no man's land, when they see a lot of smoke coming out of it, they'll think there's a forest fire and someone will come and check it. In short, if someone comes, we will be saved! ”

"Seconds! Really seconds! Xiao Ruo, you are so smart! The joy in my heart was extreme, and I couldn't help but hug her and kiss her on the face.

She immediately blushed and said in a low voice: "Brother Yu Tong, don't make trouble...... We...... Let's start setting off a beacon fire right away! ”

I handed her a pickaxe, poured some realgar on her shoes and hands, and said, "This place is very damp, maybe there will be centipedes and other poisonous insects, be careful later, don't pull it out with your hands, lest you be bitten again!" ”

She laughed and hummed.

We began to collect dead branches from the ground, pile them in the middle, and then pour gasoline on them and set it on fire.

The fire burned out immediately, and when it was certain we covered it with earth. The thick smoke immediately emitted, and Xiao Ruo and I were both smoked with tears on our faces, and we couldn't stop coughing.

Looking at the long line of smoke rising up, we were all relieved, and now we were saved. We also cleared the fence around the fire so that the fire would not spread and burn us to death while we slept.

The next thing is to wait.

I filled the air with my sleeping bag by the fire, intending to let Xiao Ruo sleep for a while while while I kept vigil. But she didn't sleep, so we had to sit side by side on the sleeping bags. When I walked, I didn't feel anything, but now when I rest, it's indescribably cold.

Besides, our coats were burned while dealing with poisonous spiders.

Xiao Ruo leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep unconsciously, she hadn't slept for two nights. In addition, the toxins in the body have not come out, and a lot of blood has flowed, and the body is even weaker.

I slowly took her in my arms. Fortunately, I wore a long sleeve, and she only wore a thin short sleeve. It was cold in the hole, and her lips were a little blue.

I wasn't injured, but I kept carrying Xiaoruo, my legs were about to break, and I was thrown a few times, I only felt back pain, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep...... I can't hold it anymore.

It was a little cold at night, and I couldn't help but clench my hands, and my arms were suddenly empty! I was taken aback. Isn't Xiao Ruo in my arms?

The drowsiness was instantly scared away. I jumped up leisurely, only to feel a blinding light enter my eyes.

It was sunlight! It's already dawn!

I turned my head to look around, but there was no shadow of Xiao Ruo. The size of this place is as far as you can see at a glance. I was so panicked that I shouted, "Xiao Ruo...... Xiao Ruo...... Xiao Ruo...... Where are you? ”

The bottom of the empty hole, as long as my voice is echoing. Suddenly felt a chill in my heart, where did this little girl go? Why don't you tell me?

In a hurry, I looked around, but there was nothing. As my mood stabilized, I began to analyze the situation: Xiao Ruo should have left on his own, and it was impossible to meet the beast here. She's in my arms, and if the beast attacks her, it will attack me first. And there will be blood on the ground. She still has a gun in her hand, and she's going to shoot it.

And there is no trace of all this.

But where did she go?

I went back to my sleeping bag and began to take a closer look, she was in my arms, and if I wanted to leave, there should be some traces to be found.

Sure enough, I found a white footprint!

This is supposed to be caused by the ash on the soles of her shoes, which fell when she stepped on the leaves.

With great joy in his heart, he jumped up and was ready to follow the footprints to find it, but when he thought about it, he hurriedly packed up his equipment, put it in his backpack, and carried it on his back. These things should not be lost at any time.

The footprints grew shallower and shallower, and finally disappeared in front of a clump of vines. Is there a hole in the back?

With a hint of doubt in my mind, I picked up my pickaxe and went to open the vines.

A swarthy cave was really exposed. With the help of the skylight, I can also see that there are some patterns carved on it, which is also a cave carved out by hand, but it is very old.

I subconsciously went to get the camera, but I took a vacancy, and after a little contemplation, I understood that it must have been taken by Xiao Ruo.

I had to quit, collect the branches, and prepare to make a torch.

There was a sudden complaint in my heart, why didn't the owner of the backpack bring canned food? That way I can make a simple gasoline stove out of a can.

With a torch, I bowed my head and got in. After walking more than 20 meters through the straight passage, there was a fork in the road. I marked a fork in the road and walked in and out.

A few meters later, there was a fork in the road in front of me, and I was immediately stunned, what was going on? How can there be so many forks in the road? This is counterintuitive, and few people deliberately complicate their own path.

Gritting my teeth, I took the plunge to mark a passage on the left, and then walked in, and a few meters later, there was another fork in the road ahead!

My heart is cold! Worst! It's a labyrinth! Could it be that Xiao Ruo is trapped in this?

I kept a mark along the way and continued to walk hard. After a few turns, a snow-white light appeared in front of me...... It's the camera's flash.

With joy in my heart, I ran away. But I only saw Xiao Ruo fall to the ground!

"Xiao Ruo! Xiao Ruo! I half-knelt on the ground and took her in my arms. When her fingers touched the skin on her arm, her heart trembled...... It's already cold!
