Chapter Twenty-Three: The Luo Family
Our location should be in the southwest corner of Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, deep in the mountains, surrounded by high mountains and large rivers. The west, south and east intersect with Shangri-La, Yulong and Ninglang in Yunnan across the Jinsha River and Shuiluo River, and the mountains are horizontal. We are surrounded by alpine trees, of no other species except for some pines, and if you look at the daytime you can see a clear line of plant demarcation and the snowy tops of the mountains on the opposite side.
The campfire burned, warming the area, and the sleet remained its previous size, freezing cold. The light of the bonfire can find the rain, and it is like countless white insects dancing in front of us.
It was very difficult to keep the campfire burning under such circumstances, and we didn't really get it burning until dark, and the large number of tiny branches and pine trees that we had collected were placed around the campfire to dry, covered with pine leaves, and competed with us for the temperature.
Because there are big trees with roots around me, the rain and ice slag on the branches of the trees collect into a large falling water, and when it falls, the mud and mud under the feet are low, and the plateau moss is like a wool carpet absorbing water, and it is very uncomfortable to sit down.
All three of us tried to get as close to the campfire as possible, the front part of our clothes was roasted dry, and the back was all soaked. One before the other, if there is a difference between spring and hell.
Needless to say, the tiredness of the body is naturally needless to say, Su called at the canyon for a long time, and no one appeared, he was exhausted, and I helped him all the way forward to be even more tired, although Shen Tu was relatively relaxed, but standing straight all day long, it must not be easy.
I think that people like me who always bend over and hold their heads, give up their pretenses to others, and leave the benefits to themselves, are a little more economical than others in life, and the eaves of life will always be shorter than their own height, but in this place, it is a little too short, and it is difficult for people to even climb.
Now before the bonfire, although a little warmer, but still can not rest, if the rain stops this night, tomorrow there is still a day to live, if the rain does not stop, tomorrow's hardship is really unimaginable.
Outside the area illuminated by the campfire, there was absolute darkness, dark clouds almost overhead, obscuring all the moonlight, and only the shadows of the trees could be seen three steps away, and nothing could be seen five steps away. There are not many fierce beasts in the plateau area, and they are not very good at hunting in this cold weather, but looking at the darkness behind Su, I still feel panicked in my heart.
I suddenly remembered the dilapidated rental house before, downstairs there was a fried food stall pulled by a cart, although the bed was a 150 yuan rotten wooden frame bed, but the quilt was wrapped, it was still very comfortable. If I were asked to return the 5,000 yuan now and go straight back to that bed, I would probably agree.
Thinking of this, I suddenly let out a long sigh, drawing back the frozen thoughts of the other two. Both of them were preoccupied and very boring along the way. Sue looked up at me with some apologies in his eyes, he didn't seem to expect to actually get here, the situation would be so bad.
In the second half of the night, when the rain finally stopped, the dark clouds began to disperse, and the moonlight on the plateau came through, and we finally relaxed, and Su had no physical strength, so Shen Tu and I gritted our teeth and burned all the dried branches on the bonfire, and then went to pick up larger branches and put them by the fire to dry.
It's dangerous to do this in the jungle, but if you don't, we'll freeze to death.
More bonfires were lit around the three of us, and the clothes slowly dried, the air was cold, and the water vapor from our bodies evaporated, forming a mist around us. Strangely, after warming up, Shen Tu left temporarily, and I thought he went to collect more firewood, but he didn't come back for a long time. I thought about it, such a cold person is likely to go to a far away place to go conveniently.
Su fell asleep at dawn, I squatted on a dead wood, and slowly in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, when I was in a daze, I suddenly felt something strange around me, looked up, and suddenly saw a person standing behind Sue.
I thought it was Shen Tu who had returned, but when I looked up, I saw that it was not Shen Tu, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with braids that turned to the sky.
I squinted my eyes and said in my heart that it was haunted, where did the little ghost in fancy clothes come from, and I saw a slender young man wearing a pure black jacket, carrying a full set of mountaineering equipment, standing behind the little ghost.
I wiped my eyes, stood up, and looked around to see a dozen young men dressed almost identically, already surrounding us. The most bizarre thing is that their stature and height are almost identical.
"Well, what do you have to do?" I asked reflexively.
The young man standing behind the pigtail imp ignored me and squatted down next to Su, checking Su's pulse, he had a little beard. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Su muttered, "I'm not dead, don't pretend." ”
The little beard stood up and turned to me, "How did you find here?" ”
I have come to my senses, and I understand that what I am in front of me must be the Luo family, and my eyes are looking around, trying to find Shendi, but the kid is gone, and I say in my heart that this big number is going to be a big one.
I didn't dare to answer after a few words, but I didn't ask this Luo family, and carried Su up, his movements were very relaxed, and he felt that Su was like a piece of paper, and then the group was well-trained and began to retreat directly into the forest.
I tried to follow, but they were moving too fast through the jungle, and in an instant, they disappeared from my vision.
"Holy shit." I was shocked, looking around at a loss, the vast primeval jungle, what is this, Lao Tzu was fired? You can't fire me here.
Just as I was feeling collapsed, suddenly I felt some traction in my pocket, and when I reached out and touched it, I found a few black relics, which were constantly turning. I don't know when, Sue stuffed these things into my pocket.
