Chapter 51: The Secret Path of the Deep Forest
I don't know how long it took, Zhuo Fan gradually woke up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The sky was pitch black and there were no stars. There was the deafening sound of the waves. He slowly turned around and found himself on a high ground with nothing around him.
"Old man." Zhuo Fan threw himself on Uncle Zheng's chest, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of his heart beating.
Zhuo Fan stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff, the bottom of the cliff was dark and unclear, only the sound of the waves crashing on the shore was turbulent and powerful, Zhuo Fan's feet were a little weak, and he slowly retreated to Uncle Zheng's side.
It took a long time for Uncle Zheng to slowly wake up. "Where are we?"
"On the island."
"On the island?!" Uncle Zheng couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly got up from the ground and looked around. "How did we get up? I remember ......"
Zhuo Fan shook his head, his last memory was that he pulled Uncle Zheng, who was about to fall, and the two of them fell on the cliff...... "I don't know either." ”
The two struggled for a while, and finally decided to wait for dawn to enter the island to have a look. As soon as they lay down again, Zhuo Fan jumped up, "Listen." “
"What's the sound?"
The voices are getting louder and closer to them. Zhuo Fan looked at the sky alertly, a beam of light hitting the bushes next to them, slowly moving towards the clearing where they were.
"Quick, Uncle Zheng, run."
Uncle Zheng quickly stood up and ran into the woods next to him with Zhuo Fan.
"...... that?"
"That's a helicopter."
"Someone? Then we'll let them save us! Uncle Zheng was so overjoyed that he almost rushed out for help.
Zhuo Fan immediately stopped him, "Old man, wait." He stopped in front of Uncle Zheng.
"What's wrong?" Uncle Zheng saw two people get off the helicopter and went straight to the jungle on the island.
"Those two people, why are they foreigners?" Uncle Zheng said suspiciously.
"Foreigner?"
"yes, you look at their size, and the way they walk. Although they were dressed, I was sure they were foreigners. Uncle Zheng hesitated slightly, "Young man, do you know English?" Knowing English, we can call for help from them. ”
"The East China Sea is 77 kilometers away, and we sailed at sea for 6 hours and encountered ......a storm," Zhuo Fan calculated. He thought of something, "Uncle Zheng, you wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”
Uncle Zheng was not happy, "This island is so big, what if you get lost and can't find me." ”
Zhuo Fan immediately decided, "Let's go together." ”
With that, the two of them walked briskly along the edge of the forest, and finally caught up with the two foreigners.
Zhuo Fan and Uncle Zheng followed them cautiously, as Uncle Zheng said, these two foreigners were burly, with strong physiques and steady and powerful steps, and they looked like they had been professionally trained. They held flashlights and walked freely through the jungle. The path under their feet, at first glance, was covered with vegetation and out of shape, but upon closer inspection, it was found that it was a path hidden in the woods, and it was smooth and secluded enough that if it were not for those who were not familiar with the terrain, they would not only not find it, but might well get lost in the jungle.
"Did you hear the sound of wild beasts around you?" Uncle Zheng has a kinship.
"Don't worry." Along the way, Zhuo Fan had already discovered that in this forest, there were many unknown animals that survived, and these animals were hiding in the bushes not far from them, secretly peeping at them. Of course, just peeping at them, there is no intention to attack them. This made Zhuo Fan very curious.
Just as Zhuo Fan withdrew his attention from the surrounding bushes, he unexpectedly found that the two people who were still walking in front of them were nowhere to be seen. In the vast jungle, there is not a single light.
"Uncle Zheng, did you see where those two people went?" Zhuo Fan asked nervously. Uncle Zheng was beside him, and he couldn't catch his breath, and when Zhuo Fan suddenly asked like this, he looked around nervously, "Oops! What about people! ”
They were completely shrouded in darkness, and the jungle under the darkness looked ghostly, coupled with the low roars of animals around them from time to time, Zhuo Fan broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
"Will a beast attack us?" Uncle Zheng asked, his voice trembling.
Zhuo Fan swallowed his saliva and forced himself to compose, "If I'm not mistaken, as long as we don't leave this path, the beast won't attack us." ”
Zhuo Fan's statement made Uncle Zheng even more nervous, "How can we judge that we are still on the road, all the way, we have followed those two people blindly, and we haven't seen the road you said at all." Uncle Zheng turned around on the spot, "What kind of road is this?" Uncle Zheng was right, around them, they were surrounded by waist-high trees, and above them were towering trees that covered the sky.
"There must be some way." Zhuo Fan searched in place, his eyes wide to find a way to identify the way. Helplessly, it was exactly the same in all directions, so that it was difficult for him to distinguish.
"Say, shouldn't we move now? What if you go the wrong way, in the middle of the night, and get lost in the woods. Or we'll just stay there and wait until dawn. At least after dawn, we can see it, and maybe we can find our way out. ”
Zhuo Fan didn't give up, he walked back and forth for a long time, and suddenly wondered, "Why did those two people just now suddenly disappear?" ”
"Yes, suddenly there is no shadow, so big two people, they shouldn't say that they won't see it."
"Ah, you see...... What is that" Uncle Zheng was startled, and pointed to something not far away for Zhuo Fan to see.
Zhuo Fan didn't look at it, but when he looked at it, he felt that he had no strength in his body. Not far away, a pair of eyes as big as walnuts, shining with green light, were staring at the two of them tightly.
The sweat on Zhuo Fan's back oozed out layer after layer, and his feet were weak, and he barely stood up until he held Uncle Zheng. Uncle Zheng is a fisherman at sea in the end, and the experience of going to sea many times makes him much calmer than Zhuo Fan at this time, his thin but strong arm helped Zhuo Fan, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Young man, stand firm." ”
Zhuo Fan nodded, stared at those eyes tightly, and said, "He seems to be just looking at us, maybe it's really like you said, as long as we stay still, it won't pounce on us." ”
"Anyway, let's not move."
Zhuo Fan forced himself not to look at the beast hidden not far from them, and after calming down, he only felt that the forest was unusually cold, and a gust of wind with the smell of green plants rushed towards them. Zhuo Fan sobered up and asked, "Are we going to stay like this?" ”
Uncle Zheng didn't care about anything else, and sat down on the grass, "I only know that there will be no danger when we stay like this, but if we go the wrong way, the beasts next to us will be waiting for us to feed them." ”
Zhuo Fan nodded, and sat down as well, "Speaking of which, this is really incredible, how can the beasts here not attack the people on this road alone?" And, where the hell is this road? ”
Uncle Zheng shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
Zhuo Fan sat on the ground, and the grass was submerged all around his body, and the grass was very long, reaching the top of Zhuo Fan's head. Zhuo Fan was buried in the grass, and suddenly felt inexplicably relieved. Although a few meters away, there were wild beasts eyeing him, at this moment, he didn't feel that dangerous aura at all. Zhuo Fan calmed down and couldn't help but think of a sentence, "Lu Xun said that there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it will become a road." ”
"I think there is probably only one road in this forest, but even if it is walked by so many people, there is no way, only grass." Uncle Zheng complained.
"What did you say?!" Zhuo Fan suddenly heard something very important.
Uncle Zheng was stunned for a moment, "There is probably only one road in this forest......"
"No, the latter one." Zhuo Fan has never been so excited.
"There is no road here, only grass ......" Uncle Zheng didn't know what made Zhuo Fan so excited as if he had suddenly gained inspiration.
"There are no roads, only grass...... Only grass...... Grass and roads. Zhuo Fan chewed on this sentence until he slapped his thigh violently, "That's right! I know. ”
"What do you know?" Uncle Zheng saw that Zhuo Fan stopped talking, and he also knelt down like Zhuo Fan and buried his face in the grass.
Zhuo Fan turned around for a week and didn't move. Looking straight ahead, "Look, ahead." ”
Uncle Zheng stretched forward with his hand, and then stretched forward, without touching the grassroots. "What do you mean?"
Zhuo Fan stuck his head out, "No wonder I thought just now that the walking posture of those two people was a little strange, it turned out to be like this." ”
Uncle Zheng listened in a fog, "Young man, you can't bully the old man, I haven't gone to school." ”
Zhuo Fan smiled, "Old man, that's the case." The grass under this forest should be some kind of fern, with well-developed stems and leaves, and it is a whole fern from top to bottom, and it is impossible to see that there is actually a path left in the roots of these plants. ”
"You mean, this path exists and exists, and the reason why we can't see it is because it's obscured by leaves." Uncle Zheng seemed to understand.
Zhuo Fan nodded solemnly, "I touched the path under the ground just now, and it was poured out of asphalt. ”
Uncle Zheng squatted down and groped on the ground with his hands, and sure enough, he found a stiff passage with no plants growing on it. "I see, young man, you are so clever. I just thought that this road was a bit easy to walk, but because it was covered by plants, I didn't care that it was an asphalt road. ”
Zhuo Fan found the answer and immediately felt a lot more relaxed. He suddenly perked up, "Let's go, let's go and see where this road leads." ”
