Chapter 34: The Vigil
At night, the forest is like a large cold storage, so cold that people can shiver when they stretch out their hands. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The three of them sat around the campfire, stretched out their hands, and warmed themselves in the fire.
In the distance, the howl of a wolf was heard, and the sound echoed in the forest for a long time, as if it was calling for a companion, and in this forest, there was a lot of danger, and if you encountered a pack of wolves or fierce beasts such as tigers, it would be a big trouble.
And most of these animals are afraid of fire.
So the three of them decided to take turns keeping vigil and keep the fire burning enough until dawn.
Although the three of them were tired, they had eaten enough, and they had no sleepiness at all, and they were bored.
Joan looked up at the starry sky in the sky, the stars were shining brightly, and a crescent moon hung on the edge of the sky, like a sickle.
The wind blew coldly, and Qiao An shivered, and he looked at Luo Beixi next to him.
Luo Beixi was filling the firewood and thinking about something.
Jin Mercury took a small sip of water with a kettle, then wiped his mouth, and then looked like a forest in the distance.
The body trembled unconsciously.
Joan pushed him and asked, "Why are you still shivering, aren't you relying on the fire?" ”
Jin Mercury shook his head and said: "I don't know how dangerous it is ahead, do you say that this is Wanshou Mountain, or how to make a grass return." ”
"Don't think too much about it." Jo Ann approached the fire, rubbing her hands together.
The three of them made a route for the itinerary, that is, they kept walking along the place where the sun rose, and made a sequence of vigils, Luo Beixi was a strong general, responsible for 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the second half of the night, Joan was responsible for 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock in the first half of the night, and Golden Mercury was responsible for 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.
After the three of them planned, they were not in much of a mood to appreciate the dangerous night forest.
Venus Mercury and Luo Beixi entered the tent early. Slept on the weeds, and the conditions were very hard.
Joan sat by the fire, and the flames illuminated his surroundings, and he had no fear. He looked at the watch in his hand, and muttered to himself, "Hey, it's only 8 o'clock, and these two slackers go to bed." ”
He is not a person who sits and lives, his body is very active, and he keeps vigil all the time, and Joan can't stand it, so he simply stands up. Walked around the fire twice. By the way, pick up some firewood nearby to make sure you have enough fuel.
All he could hear was the snoring of Golden Mercury inside the tent.
Qiao An secretly scolded: "This little fat man, he sleeps so well." ”
He looked up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the sky. A meteor glides eastward, the meteor is radiant, very dazzling, and the star it flies to has a very dazzling star, the starlight flashes in the night sky, especially spectacular.
Qiao An's eyes lit up, and he said secretly: "Although I don't know much about the art of flying stars, but this star corresponds to the terrain, and there must be a big treasure here, but the stars are shining and faint, and it is difficult to find, but there are meteors to guide the way." ”
After a moment of muttering to himself, he pondered again.
From time to time, the roar of wild beasts could be heard in the woods, but it was far away, and Joan didn't care.
So Joan was stiff until 11 o'clock.
He dragged his tired body into the tent and called out to Golden Mercury.
Rubbing his eyes and looking unhappy, Mercury walked out of the tent.
Looking at the fire outside, a hot breath hit his face.
Golden Mercury stretched, then sat down beside the fire, reaching out to bake it.
He still didn't seem to have fully woken up. As soon as his eyes were closed, he was about to sleep, but when he thought that he was going to keep vigil, he forced his eyes to open wide.
Sleepiness kept coming, and waking up in the middle of the night was the most uncomfortable thing.
He rubbed his face, trying not to be sleepy, but it still didn't work, Jin Mercury simply stood up, took a step, stretched his waist, and yawned in his mouth.
The flames gradually became much smaller, and the firewood seemed to be less.
Jin Mercury looked at the small pile of firewood and said to himself, "I have to pick up some more." ”
He threw a few sticks of wood into the fire, and then he went nearby, looking for some low trees, or branches that grew under the big trees, and got some to put next to the fire.
Just as he was chopping down a branch, suddenly he seemed to hear something, and the sound rustled and seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.
Golden Mercury's sleepiness was completely absent at this time, his nerves tensed, and he walked slowly to the side of the fire, after all, the fire is a place where wild beasts dare not approach, and it is also the best place to illuminate. You can keep yourself safe and observe your neighborhood.
Golden Mercury looked around, and heard what seemed to be the sound of footsteps, and it was hurried.
But at night, who can walk through this deserted forest, but it is a beast of prey?
Thinking of this, he was going to look for weapons.
Just as he turned to close the tent, Golden Mercury heard a coquettish gasp.
He hurriedly looked back, only to see a beautiful woman appear in front of him, and the beautiful woman seemed to have run a long distance, and her mouth kept panting.
And behind the beauty, there is a pair of green glowing eyes.
The eye saw the fire, and did not move forward.
And that beauty, Golden Mercury has also seen. It's the beautiful woman who picks her feet in the commissary during the day.
The woman fell to the ground, as if she couldn't get up, and she didn't bother to move.
Golden Mercury stared straight at the pair of green eyes not far away.
The beautiful woman said, "Don't act rashly, the guy behind is a lone wolf, and he has been hungry for a long time." ”
Golden Mercury didn't speak, just picked up a branch on the ground and walked slowly.
He walked up to the beauty, crouched down, and looked into the green eyes.
The wolf hovered near the woods, but not near the fire.
And Golden Mercury stared fiercely into the wolf's eyes.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
Golden Mercury didn't dare to breathe in the atmosphere at this time.
The woman slowly got up on the ground, then sat down on the ground, looked at the wolf not far away, and then took off the backpack behind her, rummaging through it.
Golden Mercury was surprised: "What are you looking for?" ”
The woman didn't answer, she just turned over something.
It didn't take long for her to pull out a few darts.
She took out another flute from the waistband of her trousers.
Jin Mercury suddenly realized that this is blowing arrows.
She loaded the flute with a dart, and then slowly brought it to her mouth, aiming at the pair of green eyes not far away.
Golden Mercury looked at her mud-covered outfit and knew that she had been wrestling with the hungry wolf for many hours, and had fled for her life all the way to see the fire in this place. Saved her life.
