Chapter 16: A Strange Taste
I slept until midnight and was woken up by an alarm clock.
"Let's go, go vigil, it's our turn." I pushed the old Song, who was still in a state of corpse, and got up and walked out of the tent, where the GI was still sitting by the campfire.
"Uncle Bing, you go and rest first, it's time for our vigil." I smiled and greeted the GI, seeing that we were coming out, the GI rubbed his eyes and yawned: "Xiaofan, pay attention, if there is any movement, just call us to know?" Be careful. ”
"I know, Uncle Bing, go sleep for a while." I nodded, and when the GIs went back to their tents to sleep, I sat down with Old Song and chatted around the campfire.
"Don't fall asleep, or when Dad gets up to change shifts, he will see you fall asleep and will whip you." I saw that Lao Song was about to continue dreaming of Zhou Gong, and hurriedly reminded: "We are keeping vigil, don't sleep." ”
Lao Song took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw one to me: "Zhou Gong is calling me, I can't stand it anymore, smoke a cigarette and wake up." ”
We smoked cigarettes and chatted without a word, and the animals in the woods seemed to go home to sleep, and the jungle was silent, except for the murmuring of the brook around us.
"Fanzi, why are you so quiet tonight? Isn't it quite noisy in the woods at night? Old Song looked at the woods with a puzzled expression.
"Don't think so much, don't you have to rest and rest for a few days." I replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if it's noisy or not, as long as it's not dangerous, why do you want to do so much." ”
When Lao Song heard me say this, he didn't think much about it, turned around and lay on the ground smoking and began to be in a daze.
"Old Song, do you think it's a little strange about the few corpses you met during the day?" I asked while smoking a cigarette, Lao Song lowered his head and thought about it: "I also think it's a little strange, don't talk about the hole in the corpse, just talk about the place where you died, I also feel that something is wrong, why would others run into this woods if they are fine?" ”
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time, I can't think of anything now anyway." I said helplessly, Lao Song nodded and didn't speak. Just then, we smelled a smell coming from the woods.
"Oh, what's it like? So fragrant! Lao Song exclaimed with a look of surprise, I stood up with Lao Song and sniffed carefully, this smell is a bit like the fragrance of chocolate, how can there be such a smell in the woods?
"Fanzi, let's go take a look, shall we?" Old Song called me excitedly, planning to go to the woods together to see what was going on.
"No, we're keeping vigil, what if we go and encounter danger?" I pulled Lao Song back and sat on the ground, staring at the woods tightly, always feeling unsteady.
There is this smell in this forest at night, why is there no smell during the day?
Lao Song saw that I didn't want to go, so he sat down with me without saying anything.
"Two rabbit cubs, go back to sleep for a while, it's my turn." Dad yawned and walked out of the tent and held out his hand to greet us.
"Dad, what do you smell like?" I walked up to my dad and asked in a low voice, and when my dad heard me say this, he wrinkled his nose and sniffed a few times: "It's not smelly." You're not going to be sleepy, are you? ”
When I heard it, wasn't it? I sniffed it carefully, and the smell was gone. What's going on?
Forget it, I can't think of anything anyway, go back to sleep, uncle.
Following Lao Song back to the tent to sleep, my mind felt a little cloudy, as if I had drunk too much, I didn't think much about it, and I fell asleep after lying down for a while.
"Get up! Hurry up! Dad stood outside the tent and shouted, and I struggled with Lao Song to crawl out of the tent, looking at the bright sky and not calm.
What time is it? Can you let us sleep a little longer?
"Let's pack up the water today, we'll have to hurry later." Dad took out a couple of water bottles and walked towards the stream.
"Fanzi, let's go find something to eat, there should be a lot of fish in this creek." Six Fingers came over and greeted us, we nodded, and without saying a word, Six Fingers went to catch fish.
The pure natural place is good, the air is fresh, the food and water are very clean, and there are no additives. And in this kind of creek, the fish are not afraid of people, and the fish swim around us after we enter the water.
"This one is big, look at me!" Lao Song shouted loudly, and dived over to a big fish in the water, smiling with a determined face, as if the fish was already in the bag.
"Smack!" When Lao Song just approached the fish, the fish suddenly jumped out of the water and slapped Lao Song twice with his tail for free, well done!
"Hahaha, this is really exciting today!" I laughed out loud.
Lao Song walked to the shore with a bitter face: "Lao Tzu will not catch fish in the future, this job is too dangerous, I am not afraid of being drowned in the water, I am afraid of being slapped by a sudden two." ”
Should! Make you poor!
After being in the water for a long time, I only caught two carps, which were only two or three catties, but it was enough to eat.
For the first time in the past few days, I felt so relaxed, eating grilled fish by the stream, as if I was back in the city to go out to barbecue with my daughter-in-law.
Alas, bear with it for a few more days, and then there will be nothing to do when you make money.
After eating, a few of us packed up and started to hurry.
Every morning at this time, the plants in the woods were covered with dew, and we were soaked with dew as we walked.
The weather was already hot, but our bodies were still wet, and the dew and sweat were constantly tormenting us, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
We wiped our sweat with our luggage on our backs along the way, and slowly made our way towards our destination.
"Fanzi! Smell it! The smell is out again! Lao Song stood behind me and shouted in surprise, as soon as I heard Lao Song say this, I wrinkled my nose and smelled, and the smell appeared again!
"What does this smell of?" Dad looked at the woods with a puzzled expression.
The woods were silent, there was no sound, and everything seemed so calm.
But the more calm I am, the more I feel bottomless.
Just as I was beating the drum in my heart, there was a sound in the woods.
"Woo Woo Woo Woo"
As soon as the soldier heard the sound, he immediately took out his gun and aimed it at the place where the sound came from in the jungle: "Everyone be careful! ”
As soon as a few of us saw this, we took out the guy and put on a posture to meet the enemy, what the hell?
As the sound approached, the scent grew stronger, and when I listened closely, it was a bit like the sound of something rubbing on the ground.
Before I could finish my thoughts, the thing was already in the bushes in front of us.
With the sound of rubbing, a vine protruded from the bushes, and like a snake, it slowly crawled towards us.
