Chapter 15: Three forks

A quarter of an hour later, Hu Kai took the frightened little girl back to the path leading to the interior.

Although Tingting washed clean and changed her clothes, her face was pale. The skull that suddenly appeared really scared the hell out of her.

However, what Hu Kai didn't tell her was that when Hu Kai looked towards the place where the skull had been thrown away, what he saw was not just that one skull, but a whole whole bunch of white bones!

The bones had been washed into a hollow in the rock by the waves, and they were all piled up there, looking like they were evil and terrifying.

In fact, when Hu Kai and Tingting were groping on the beach before, they had already seen some, but due to poor sight, they only thought that those were white rocks!

Although Hu Kai couldn't be sure whether all those bones belonged to humans, the skull that Tingting was holding just now was undoubtedly human, and if you look at the size, it may still be a child's skull.

In this way, the ominous premonition in Hu Kai's heart became even stronger. If this is a normal beach, how can there be human bones?

Could it be that this doom that befell them is not over?

Due to the two-hour delay, the trail was empty at this time. Hu Kai turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and carefully led Tingting forward on the rocky ground.

The rocks on the ground are undulating, and no matter how you look at them, they look like they were formed naturally. However, if you look closely, you will see that the edges and corners of the rocks have been polished smooth, and I wonder if someone did it on purpose, or if there were too many people walking through it.

Due to excessive fright, Tingting kept hugging Hu Kai's arm tightly and didn't say a word. Hu Kai has been carefully observing the environment, and he has no time to say comfort.

The trail to the inland is winding upwards and seems to lead to the top of the cliff, making it a bit difficult to walk.

However, fortunately, the path was not long, and Hu Kai and the others groped for less than half an hour, and finally came to a relatively flat place.

Backed by towering rocks, it looks like a valley-like area, and the temperature rises considerably.

Using the faint light of the flashlight, they soon found that a relatively sparsely wooded forest appeared in front of them. These unnamed trees don't grow too tall, and the ground is full of weeds.

The two of them groped forward for another thirty or forty meters, and the surrounding trees gradually became dense.

"Won't it?"

Hu Kai looked at the empty woods, but he still didn't see anyone. He said to himself, "It seems that this place should be very large!" What about more than 1,000 people, and not a single one of them turned back? ”

"Teacher Hu? Person...... Where have all the people gone? ”

Tingting still didn't come to her senses, and asked with fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry, if you don't see anyone, it's a bad thing if you don't see it!" Hu Kai took the opportunity to comfort, "Perhaps, they have found the village and are eating roasted potatoes around the kang!" ”

Hu Kai said this, and it really worked. Tingting's fear faded a little in an instant.

"But which way will they go?" Tingting looked at the woods in front of her, there was no obvious road here at all.

Hu Kai squatted down, carefully observed the traces on the ground, and said, if I am not mistaken, those people should be divided into three ways.

When Tingting leaned over, Hu Kai pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Look, they have the most people along the way, and they walked to the right against the cliff; The other way, which was the least crowded, headed towards the woods in the middle; The last one goes along the left. ”

"Three forks?" Tingting frowned and immediately asked, "That'...... Where are we going? ”

"Hmph......" Hu Kai patted Tingting's shoulder, snorted confidently, and said, "Tingting, let's not go any way!" ”

"Huh?" Tingting was unexpected, and popped out of English again, "WHY? ”

"NO WHY, NOT AT ALL!" Hu Kai lifted the plastic bag containing the loot in his hand and said, "In this place, there are ready-made materials for making fires, and if we don't eat our seafood, it will stink!" There is no one here, so why don't you just eat our delicious meal with peace of mind? Before, I was worried that someone would come over and get a piece of the pie!

"As for the road! You see...... In two hours, it will be dawn. Wouldn't it be wiser to wait until dawn so that we can see the terrain here and make a choice when the time comes? Moreover, at that time, the two of us were well fed, and we had more strength to hurry, didn't we? ”

"Hey, Mr. Hu, why didn't I think of that?" Tingting's eyes lit up, "High!" That's high! It's really high! ”

"Alright, stop complimenting! Quick, pick up branches, bury the pot and cook - eat seafood! ”

"Good!"

At the mention of food, both of them came to their senses, and it only took about ten minutes for the fire to be lit and the seafood to be put into the pot.

At first, Hu Kai was worried that the firelight would attract strangers, and the baseball bat never left his hand, but until they even drank the seafood soup, there was no accident.

This time, they were really full, and this was the happiest they had eaten since the cruise ship was suspended. The mussels are fatty and delicious, and the boiled sugar algae are also quite delicious.

However, although there is a lot of big crab meat, Tingting didn't dare to eat it. She even said that these crabs may have grown up eating dead human flesh, which made Hu Kai a little muttered.

After a full meal and drink, sleepiness also hit my heart. In the past few days, the two of them have not had a good rest, and coupled with the repeated tossing, they are already fighting with their upper and lower eyelids at this moment.

Since it was still dark, they decided to find a place to have a good time. Although it would be more comfortable to surround the fire, Hu Kai extinguished the flame for safety.

And, after extinguishing the fire, they left the woods and went to a secluded and leeward place on the other side of the cliff, where they could rest in peace.

However, they have no outdoor equipment, so they can only simply rest against the rocks, which is naturally uncomfortable.

Tingting fell asleep, and even lay on Hu Kai's legs, which made his legs sore. But in order to let the little girl have a good rest, Hu Kai still insisted on not moving.

More than an hour passed, the morning light was faint, and when the sun shone through, there was a slight feeling of heat.

Tingting was wearing thicker clothes, and she quickly woke up in the heat. Although the little girl looked sleepy-eyed, her spirit and complexion were much better than before.

"Huh, Mr. Hu? You ......"

When the little girl woke up, she was surprised to find that Hu Kai was climbing up on a towering rock.

"Awake?" Hu Kai bowed his head and greeted, and then continued to climb up.

"You...... Be careful! ”

Tingting said worriedly, but in her heart she already understood Hu Kai's intentions, he must want to climb to a high place to observe the terrain here and see what the situation is here?

may be because he has a full stomach, Hu Kai's movements are very sharp, and it didn't take long to climb to the top.

"How? Mr. Hu, what do you see? ”

Tingting looked at Hu Kai with hope and asked, who knows, what she saw in the next second was Hu Kai's stunned expression.
