Chapter 8 Ascending the Tree
I was furious!
Within five seconds, he scolded the eight generations of the ancestors of that group of people in his heart.
I looked down and saw that the chain was the thickness of my little finger, and it was very tightly tied, and my palm was shrunk into a ball as much as possible, and the skin was torn, but I couldn't break free. I picked up a stone and smashed it against the chain, and smashed it for a long time, but only a shallow trace was left. I gasped for breath, thinking to myself that it would not be possible to smash it so hard, firstly, because it was too loud, and I didn't know if it would attract those "big-eyed boys" again, and secondly, it was really painful to smash my arm. I had to calm down and think about what to do.
In fact, in addition to being locked up, the current situation is exactly what I am looking forward to. And the backpack is also there, and the group also left a lot of food and water for me, so it shouldn't be a problem to carry it for five or six days.
I don't think they did this to leave me behind, because they still have to rely on me to go back. So it should just be a matter of arranging for me to wait where I am, and they'll be back anyway.
I just don't know when they'll be back.
I thought to myself that I could not wait for myself to die stupidly, and when I had almost eaten the food, I broke the chain and went back the way I came, back to the door in the cave of the altar. With my IQ, I shouldn't be as intimidated as Jinglian Hong, so I don't believe I can't think of a way to go home!
After figuring out a few ways out, it was much easier for me. Suddenly I felt that my whole body was weak, my body was already tired and collapsed, and the most important thing at the moment was rest.
I leaned against the trunk of a dead tree and looked up at the sky.
The view is amazing. The white clouds in the sky were tingling with a little blue-gray color, like cotton wool dyed with light ink, crumpled into a ball and piled up in the air. A cool breeze blows, and the weeds in the distance are fragrant, like waves, and the scenery is refreshing. I thought to myself, how nice it would be if this was really a tour.
Thinking about it, my eyelids sank, and I don't know if it was because of my lack of heart, but I fell asleep all of a sudden. By the time I woke up, it was already dark.
As the sun sets, as far as the eye can see, there is only a glimmer of white light left in the whole west, and the sky is shrouded in night, and the stars are bright and blue, intertwined, like a dream. The meadow is also dyed with a faint blue of starlight, and the waves of grass that are constantly stirring up with the wind are like a quiet sea, making people wonder if they are the center of the deep ocean.
Everything in front of me looked incredibly unreal. I would never see such a view in the city where I live, and suddenly I felt that it was worth it.
I opened my backpack, took out the bag of food, took out the bread and canned food inside, and was about to start eating, only to suddenly find that there was a packet of spicy strips inside.
I grass, this dead whistle is really enough for MAN, I said in my heart that he didn't forget to carry a pack of spicy strips on his body even from birth to death, and he was tasteful! Tasteful!
I hurriedly opened the packet of spicy strips, ate a few, and then poured all the chili oil inside between my wrist and the chain, and the oil on the wrapper.
When I was almost done, I began to push my hand out with all my might, almost breaking out the boogers. I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten, so I can't break free from life and death because I don't have any energy at all.
I was too tired to do anything and decided to eat something first.
As I nibbled on the bread, I felt very bad and began to think about how I had come to this point. In the distance, fireflies flew into the sky from the grass. At first, one by one, then one by one, the glowing green light and the faint red light came and went, almost connecting with the stars in the sky.
The girl was right, this place was indeed relatively safe and quiet. Looking at this scenery, I have to say that it is a beautiful enjoyment.
When the bread was finished, I stood up and stretched. The chain is long and there is still a lot of leeway, and I shouldn't have a problem running around the trunk. With his hands on his hips and moving his muscles and bones, for some reason, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. I looked intently and saw that the fireflies that emitted red light were slowly approaching me. After a while, there was a large area around it. The night was dark, and I couldn't see clearly, but after a long time of careful looking, cold sweat unconsciously slid down my forehead.
It's not a firefly at all, it's a pair of eyes!
My back stiffened instantly, and I unconsciously retreated in the direction of the dead tree.
"Lululu......"
There was a strange sound all around, and I hurriedly grabbed the flashlight at my feet and slowly shone it into those little eyes. Among the weeds, a large mouth appeared in sight, full of teeth, each as sharp as a knife. There was clear mucus hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he was disgusting. When he saw the light of my flashlight, he grinned and actually laughed.
I couldn't describe what it was for a while, I just felt chills all over my body and tendons in my calves. The grass was all around me with this kind of stuff, and I thought to myself, who the fuck said it was safe here?
The thing slowly approached me, furry, the size of my three heads alone, with a fat body, short forelimbs, and a large fleshy tail dragging behind it, which I felt like a mutated mouse, but I couldn't be sure for a while.
I hurriedly rummaged through the knife in my bag, thinking that the knife is also a knife, I can't defend myself, I can always kill myself. I didn't think about it, and I didn't find it after a long time - the knife must have been taken by those people, and I should have been prevented from breaking the chain with the knife.
At the critical moment, isn't this a cheat?
"Lulu ......"
The rat, baring its teeth and making strange noises, had come to my feet. I shuddered, kicked out reflexively, and the rat's head tilted back, and before I could land, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit at me. I shrank and it bit down on my shoe, clutching it with its big sharp claws, gnawing hard. Fortunately, my hiking boots are genuine leather, so I can get acquainted. If this grab were my leg, I'm afraid I'd be ruined.
I said in my heart that the shoes will be given to you, but my brother doesn't want them, so I struggled with my feet and broke free from the shoes. The big rat bit my shoe, shook its head and stepped back, gnawed for a while, as if it didn't taste right, and then abandoned it after a while.
By this time I had come to the bottom of the dead tree and climbed up. The surface of the trunk was smooth, the trunk was thick, and there was almost no point of focus, and it took several climbs to finally get up. I stood on the branch, and the chain had been extended to the maximum. I looked down with my flashlight and saw that the big rats were crawling from all directions, and they had already surrounded the tree.
I said in my heart that if I died, I would become a rat's feast, and I didn't know if such a fat rat would be able to climb a tree, and I didn't know if the branches were reliable. The big rat gnawed my backpack under the tree, and the contents were a mess.
A few rats jumped up and tried to bite my feet, some on tiptoe, some with their necks stretched. What's new is that they're too big, and their short forelimbs can't support their weight, so they can't climb up. From the point of view I'm standing, it's a bit funny at the moment. I said in my heart that rodents are rodents, and IQ is almost the same as hip circumference. I'm just going to squat here and see what you can do to me!"
But after thinking about it again, I remember that in "Animal World", it is said that some grassland animals are very cunning, and if you go up to a tree, they can't bite you, so they pretend to retreat, but they are actually lurking around. When you let your guard down and get off the tree, they will come from all directions to catch you off guard. I can't make such a low-level mistake, I'm a college graduate, at least I have to crush the mouse in IQ.
I was thinking of a way, and suddenly, something seemed to pass by in the afterglow of my eyes. I immediately looked up, and saw a figure standing in the grass of Hesse in the distance.
The figure stood still, motionless......
