Chapter 61: Into the Night

(The update is delivered, and it will continue tomorrow.) Thank you also for the support of my brother and my friends who are filled with milk, thank you. ）

The bacon was roasted and cooked by Ellio and distributed to us, and we cut the meat piece by piece with the knife we carried with us and ate it piece by piece.

The first sip is so fragrant. The second bite is so salty.

Waxed food is generally marinated with very heavy salt, so that it can be stored for a long time without mildew.

I ate a few bites and it was really salty, so after drinking a few sips of water to fill my stomach, I walked to the lake and squatted down to wash my hands. By this time, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark.

Aloo saw that I was going to wash my hands, reminded me to be careful, and continued to eat half of the duck on my hands.

The taste is too strong. I thought to myself, shook my head, crouched down and started washing my hands. At this time, the moon also rose, reflected on the water, and as I washed my hands, the water moved and changed shape.

I watched the oil star in my hand floating on the water, and I wanted to push it with my hand and push it deeper.

This move is completely a sign that you are full and have nothing to do.

After squatting at the water's edge and playing with the water like a child for a while, I stood up and prepared to walk back. At this time, I saw that Ellio had just dragged out a branch of an unknown tree from the nearby wood, and was pulling the leaves on it and throwing it into the fire. The leaves are burned by the fire, giving off a faint fragrance. Although I don't know what kind of tree it is, judging from this action of Alho, the smell of burning with the leaves of this tree should have the effect of repelling mosquitoes.

"Let's sleep here." Ario tossed aside the branches that had torn off half of the leaves, and then stepped on the rocky beach under his feet: "This rocky beach is quite flat. And it's cool to sleep at night. ”

I looked at He Tao and asked for his opinion. I saw He Tao shrug his shoulders, took a handful of leaves from the branch that Alho threw aside, wiped his hands, and then wiped the knife clean and put it away. After doing these actions, he said, "It would be nice for us to have a place to sleep." Saying that, He Tao lay down on the ground, pillowing his arms and looking at the stars in the sky: "Don't pick." ”

Seeing that I was still standing in place, Alo thought that I was not used to it, so he asked, "Brother Cheng, why don't I go and make you a mattress, it will be more comfortable." ”

Hearing Alho say this, I immediately thought of the scene when I came out of the Wei's ancestral hall and rested under the tree with the fat man picking leaves as a mattress, and I said that I don't know if there is any news from the fat man's side, why hasn't he contacted me for so long.

Aloo saw that I ignored him, thought I hadn't heard, and asked me again. I came back to my senses and said no, it's good to fall asleep like this. Then he went to the edge of the fire and lay down.

Ellio looked at me, opened his mouth and didn't speak. I just walked to the lake, picked up a few palm-sized rocks in the lake, and came back to suppress the fire. As soon as the stone that had just been picked up from the water touched the fire, it made a series of stabbing sounds, and soon the fire that was still running with flames turned into a dark fire. Then Ariu took a handful of leaves from the side and sprinkled them on it, and then pressed them with a few dry stones. Those leaves were roasted by the fire below, and the original faint fragrance slowly became a little stronger. And it smells like it has the aroma of tea, which has a kind of concentrating effect.

I don't know if it was the smell of the leaves or if I was too tired from traveling during the day, I lay on the rocky beach and looked at the stars above me before falling asleep for a while.

I don't know how long I slept, but in the blur I felt as if someone was pushing me. This made me completely let my guard down because I had He Tao and Alleyo by my side, and this was still their territory. So I rolled over and ignored him. It wasn't until the man pushed my shoulders harder and harder that I slowly woke up from my dream.

"What for?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

He turned his back to the moon and faced me, it was too dark for me to see his face clearly, I don't know if it was He Tao or Alieu.

"I want to go to the toilet and go up by myself, my own territory is still "I am afraid of ghosts" Before I finished speaking, I covered my hands with a pair of hands.

This action instantly woke me up from my daze. He Tao's hands, I know, it is impossible to have so many calluses in the palms of my hands. Ellio is even more impossible, how many calluses can a graduate student's hand have?

The only possibility is that the person in front of you is someone else.

But how is this possible? Not to mention Allo, He Tao has been doing this with his father since he was a child. Even when he went to college, he still relied on this thing to earn pocket money in private, but he was an old man. How could he not notice that someone was approaching us while he was sleeping?

Thinking about it, I struggled to break the hand that was covering my mouth and was ready to scream. Unexpectedly, a particularly familiar voice reached my ears. As soon as I heard the voice, I immediately gave up resisting.

It's fat.

Damn, what the do you want? Before I went to bed, I wondered why the fat man hadn't contacted me yet, and he appeared before I woke up from my sleep.

Wait, it's not a dream, right? Thinking about it, I opened my mouth and bit down on the hand next to my mouth.

"What the do you want me to do!" The fat man was in pain and lowered his voice and shouted.

"Oh, it's really you." I said, "Well, I'm sorry, I thought I was dreaming." ”

"Fuck you, why are you biting me if you don't dream?" The fat man asked.

"Damn," I scolded, "doesn't it hurt to bite myself?" ”

The fat man let go of the hand covering my mouth and sat down next to me with a shake of his hand.

"Why are you here?" I asked, and as I said that, I straightened up to look at Hetao and them.

The fat man waved his hand: "Don't look at it." As he spoke, he pointed to the branch next to him, "Which **** is this, so brainless." I used the drugged leaves as insect repellent. After speaking, he turned to look at me: "Could it be you?" ”

"Fuck you." I scolded. Ke was immediately stunned: "Drug? So how come I wasn't stunned? ”

"You're upwind." The fat man said, "The leaves of this drug are very similar to those of mosquito repellents, no wonder you are mistaken." ”

I thought about it for a moment, and oh. The heart said that I said why I just lay down and fell asleep, and I thought it was Mrs. Bai who was tired. Thinking about it, I got up and wanted to wake up He Tao and Elliot. But before I could stand up, I was pulled by the fat man.

"What for?" I asked the fat man.

"They slept downwind, and they couldn't wake up for a while after being smoked for so long." The fat man said.

"What then?" I asked, then looked at the Ximatang behind me: "Throw them into the lake?" ”

The fat man shook his head and interrupted me, and said in a different tone: "Fat man, I came to you in such a hurry this time for a reason, be serious." ”

"What's the matter?" I was stunned, "Have you made progress over there?" ”

The fat man nodded in the moonlight: "Fat man, I found a little thing, these things can be said to be good and bad for you." ”

"So we have to look at the problem from Marx's dialectical point of view?" I said.

"I'm not kidding you." The fat man accentuated his tone, "Because I checked these things, I also caused a lot of trouble." ”

Listening to the tone of the fat man's words, I also frowned: "What did you find?" ”

The fat man shook his head: "These things are too complicated, I haven't figured out how to tell you yet." But what I can tell you is that you came to this place in the right place. Because it's underneath. ”

"It? What is it? I asked.

The fat man raised his hand and glanced at his watch, frowned and said to himself, "It's four o'clock." After speaking, he raised his head and looked at me: "I don't have time to talk to you about it now." Remember, within a week you have to find a way down to the bottom of this lake. If that's right, the entrance is at the bottom of this lake. ”

"Me?" I was stunned for a moment. What I heard from what the fat man just said was "I must", not "We must".

"You're not going down with me?" I asked.

"Fat man, I have to help you hold them back and buy you time."

"Hold me uncle? How did they find this place too? ”

"Your uncle?" The fat man snorted coldly, "To those people, your uncle is a scumbag." ”
