Li You originally thought that after a night of wind and rain last night, today's mountain road would become more difficult. But soon after he set off, he was surprised to find that except for the first three or five miles of the road, which was relatively muddy, the rest of the land was already very dry, and after walking for about an hour, the surrounding woodland was already dry.

Only then did Li You know that the storm that seemed to be huge last night turned out to be not a big place, and it seemed that the most central area was the area around Qingniuguan.

"How long are we going to go?" Li You wiped the sweat on his head and asked Uncle Wu beside him.

It's August, and it's the middle of the day, when the sun is fierce, and the vegetation in the forest is dense, and there is not a trace of coolness under the shade of the trees, but it is like a steamer.

Uncle Wu already had a sweat towel on his shoulder, and from time to time he picked up the sweat towel to wipe the sweat off his body, but despite this, the camouflage uniform on his body also seemed to have been soaked in water, wet, and many dried places, with white salt flowers.

"Xiaoyou, are you asking about today's journey or how far is our itinerary?" Uncle Wu's name for Li You has also quietly changed, from a child to a Xiaoyou.

"There are ......" Li You picked up the kettle hanging from his waist, took a sip, and let out a heavy breath.

Uncle Wu said: "We still have two or three days to go on the total journey. Today we have to go to Panlong Ditch to rest. Except for Panlonggou, other places are like this dense forest, and there are many snakes and insects, which are not suitable for stationing at all. ”

Li You nodded. This area is already a primeval forest, and normal people will not come to this kind of place at all. None of the people who can appear here are good people, either poachers or grave robbers; Or maybe it's some shady guys.

Primary forests are dangerous. Poisonous snakes and beasts are still secondary, after all, there are many people, and the action is huge, these animals usually feel such a movement, and they will automatically avoid it after weighing their catties.

But mosquitoes in the forest, leeches in stagnant water, some unknown poisonous plants and mud swamps formed by rotting and fermenting fallen leaves are the biggest threats to everyone.

When he lay down in a small stream, Li You found that four leeches had climbed up the trouser tube. If you don't shake it quickly, you will inevitably lose blood again. One of the team members in front of him stepped on the mud pond, and if it wasn't for the timely rescue of the team members behind him, I am afraid that he would have become a corpse in the mud.

What's worse is that the mosquitoes that are ubiquitous in the forest are impossible to prevent. Although everyone has wrapped themselves as tightly as possible, in fact, many people have been bitten in red envelopes, which is itchy and unbearable, and no matter how much insect repellent they wipe, it is useless.

After a few hours, Li You felt a great sense of disgust in his heart for this vast forest, and his heart was restless.

Fortunately, after another half hour or so, the team finally passed through the dense forest and came to the side of a river valley. The water in the valley is not too high, and people can walk along the pebbles on the river beach, although it is a little rugged, but it is much better than drilling into the dense forest to be bitten by mosquitoes.

"Well, walk up about twenty miles along the river valley to the front, and it is Panlong Ditch. Fortunately, there was no rain in this area last night, and the river beach is much easier to walk on both sides of the river. Uncle Wu sighed.

"I can't walk, let's rest for a while!" Professor Qi said with a pant.

Although the livestock in the team lost almost a quarter of them last night, Professor Qi's treatment has not decreased in the slightest, and he is still equipped with a mule. However, the places I walked before were all dense forests with no roads, and if I rode on a mule, I would have a close contact with the branches and branches, and Professor Qi had no choice, so I finally came down and walked with everyone, and after drilling for more than three hours, my physical strength was already a little difficult to support.

As soon as Professor Qi spoke, Uncle Wu could only respect his opinion. After discussing with Linglong, it was decided that the team would rest on the river beach for half an hour before setting off.

Hearing Uncle Wu's order that everyone could rest here, the team let out a cheer, and many team members who were unbearable in the heat even took off their backpacks and jumped into the cool river to swim freely.

Seeing the hearty laughter of the team members in the river, Li You was very envious, but he was very vigilant about this place, so he just approached the river and wiped the sweat beads off his body with some water dipped in a sweat towel.

After wiping away the sweat, Li You looked at his reflection in the river. Seeing his current image from the reflection, Li You was a little afraid to recognize it.

Since he got off the train and met Mo Liancheng and Shi Guangsheng, he has not had the time and opportunity to look in the mirror, let alone tidy up his appearance.

Now in the reflection in the water, his skin is dark, his hair is unkempt, his beard has grown so long that he has no time to deal with it, his eyes are bloodshot, he looks like he is ten years old, and his face has a sense of vicissitudes, and the image of a handsome little guy who has just graduated has long been gone!

Li You sighed, his heart couldn't let himself fall like this. He threw his head into the river, washed and scratched it vigorously, and then dried his hair, and then pulled out a dagger from his body, ready to clean his beard.

Qin Yi walked over at this time and saw Li You holding a dagger and gesturing at the river in his face. immediately grabbed Li You, snorted a few times, and pointed to the dagger in Li You's hand. Li You smiled and said, "You're coming?" ”

Qin Yi nodded again and again, took the dagger in Li You's hand, approached Li You's side, and carefully shaved Li You's beard.

Li You found that when Qin Yi held the dagger, his hand was very steady and light, and when the blade of the dagger fell on his face, it was just right to shave the fibrous roots clean, but it did not hurt a trace of skin.

"Whoa...... Hmmm...... Ah......h

The river suddenly broke out, and there was a threatening sound like an animal, followed by a scream from a team member who was bathing in the river.

This sudden scream made Qin Yi and Li You tremble involuntarily, Qin Yi's hand shook, and the dagger immediately left a small cut on Li You's chin, and blood flowed out at once.

"Ah......h In a hurry, he reached out to cover Li You's wound. His eyes were full of panic and guilt.

Li You didn't care about the small scars on his face, and as soon as he pulled Qin Yi, he ran to the far side of the river beach. When Qin Yi shaved him, he was facing the river, and the afterglow in his eyes also swept to what had just happened. When the river suddenly made a wave, he saw a gray-brown animal pounce on the screaming team members in the midst of the rushing water.

The team members have now disappeared from their previous positions. It's just that the position is bloody red, spreading to the entire river area with the waves......
