Fat Brother and Yan Qiu weren't ready for my sudden decision.

As soon as my words came out, the fat brother touched my head and asked, "Are you so sick?" What's nonsense? Didn't you want to go back just now?"

I pushed the fat brother's hand away and repeated: "I said to continue going up the mountain." Anyway, Uncle Galu said that I can't get out of here alive, wouldn't it be better to leave later? ”

Yan Qiu and Su Rina's eyes widened at the same time.

Yan Qiu also asked very seriously: "When did Uncle Galu say that?" ”

I pretended to be calm, put on an expression of death, and said with a chuckle: "What Uncle Galu said when he left is probably predicted by the shaman, but he just kept it hidden. ”

Yan Qiu stumbled and said to me: "Superstitious things, you can't believe them all, no, you can't believe them at all." Anyway, I mean, don't take it to heart, what do you have and don't have, and you can still say that a big living person is dead in one sentence? ”

I stood up, patted the dirt off my body, put my backpack back on and said to everyone, "Whatever that happens, what are we going to do next?" ”

The three people who were most happy with my decision were Jiang Li, Dujiao and Su Rina.

Jiang Li must have wanted us to accompany her, and it felt completely different to go on the road with her own people and with strangers. Although I still don't know how capable she is, at least she's a little girl, and the timid nature of a girl has some after all.

Not to mention the one-horned, if we go to him, he will have an outer block, and if we don't go, he will have to hunt hard, and now that the equipment is gone, the hunting is more difficult, and if we go, at least he will not return empty-handed. Before, he said that he would not take Jiang Li away, but in fact, he was also trying to persuade us to stay.

Su Rina must be the type who doesn't take advantage enough, judging from the current situation, she herself is definitely not the opponent of the one-horned duo, the one-horn is indeed capable, don't look at being caught by mercenaries, if he didn't send it to the door himself, I'm afraid no one in this forest will be able to catch him, which Su Rina didn't expect before she came.

The first time we met, we successfully helped her deal with three criminals who killed people without blinking, and here she can only count on us to help, if we leave, it's okay not to turn our faces, once we turn our faces, Su Rina is probably the one who will never get out.

Although the fat brother still didn't agree to go up the mountain again, he kept muttering: "It's no good to go up the mountain." "But Sister Hua is not here, and my decision can still play a leading role. The fat brother still has a lot of trust in me, as long as I decide something, it must be after some consideration, although it is not as thoughtful as Sister Hua, but at least it is much stronger than the fat brother. So he didn't care too much about whether he went or stayed, and his attitude was that he would go wherever I went.

Not to mention Yan Qiu, the two of us can't do without every second now, the development of the relationship is the hottest time, everyone urgently needs a chance to show each other, love is easier to get on than spirits, and now even if it is for the other party to die, there is no ambiguity.

So my decision directly affected the whole team, as if the mercenary had not happened just now, and in an instant this seven-person team was full of morale.

The unicorn struck while the iron was hot, for fear that I would change my mind, and said while drawing on the ground: "This mountain range is in an east-west direction, and the position we are now on is the southwest slope. ”

Yan Qiu asked, "Then what should I do if I run into those people again?" I still think let's go back first, and in the long run, at least we must prepare enough equipment. ”

The unicorn shook his head and said: "No, judging from their equipment and personnel, the speed of travel is much faster than ours, not to mention that they are now in front, we go around to the other direction and then go up the mountain, the distance will be widened a lot, but there is one point, it is a little difficult to track the traces of the colorful deer." ”

The fat brother didn't care about this, he asked: "Now that your useful equipment has been confiscated, even if we don't touch them when we go up the mountain, then what are we eating?" ”

The unicorn smiled confidently and said: "You don't have to worry about this, in the mountains, even if I am empty-handed, I will not run out of food, as long as there is mine, you are indispensable." ”

Actually, these are not problems for me, it's a big deal to turn back when I can't go on, and we'll see. My concern is whether we can reach the water source along the way, and I don't know where this long river flows from.

I asked Jiang Li, "Where is the destination?" If you go up from the western slope, will you not be able to reach it? ”

Jiang Li said: "No, the place we are going to is either at the top of the mountain or on the other side of the mountain, and we will not go wrong where we go up the mountain." ”

I was relieved when she said this, we are not here to play with the unicorn, at least to ensure that our own things can be done, I believe that as long as you go to the top of the mountain, you can see the difference, the water flows low, it is impossible to cross the mountain.

Seeing that the good noon time is coming, and the temperature is about to drop later, it is useless to just sit here and discuss, we still try our best to put the results of the discussion into action. Everyone hurried and turned from the uphill direction to the sideways and headed towards the river, as long as they crossed the river, the other side was the western slope.

It didn't take long for us to get to the river, and a new question arises, how to cross the river? The slope of the mountain is very large, the current is very fast, and the width of the river is at least 20 meters, so we don't wear waterproof clothing, and if we just jump into the water and swim over, we will have to freeze to death after dark.

I put my hand into the water, the river water is cold and biting, because the water is very fast, unlike the lake, which can be exposed to the sun for a long time, so the temperature of the water flowing down from the high altitude is extremely low, don't wait for the dark, now you will freeze out of the disease if you jump.

Su Rina and I went together, and she pointed to the river and asked the one-horn, "Is there a way?" We certainly can't swim across, and the water is too cold. ”

The one-horned looked at the river and thought for a while, then said to us, "Follow the river upstream." "It seems that he is not in a hurry to cross the river.

We had no idea about the environment in the wild, and when the horn said to go upstream, we followed his instructions and continued to climb the river.

The uphill slope by the river is much more laborious than in the forest, and the ground is not the soil that the roots of the trees grasp, but all kinds of round stones of different sizes, and when you encounter a steep slope, you may have to use your knees, and the stones collide with the kneecaps, and the pain is self-evident.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for us to climb to a relatively flat platform. It is said to be a platform, but it is actually a flat land halfway up the mountainside, which is completely natural. However, due to the change in topography, the water left on it has accumulated here into a pool, a bit like a waterfall, but not so deep. It is a small lake, but it is also a little small, and it is obvious that the water is flowing.

The unicorn looked at the waterhole with a satisfied expression.

I knew that this was the environment he was looking for, and I was afraid that he had already planned a way to cross the river.

The horn said to us, "The current here is not very fast, and there is no slope, and the depth of the water is good, so let's cross the river from here." ”

The fat brother asked the unicorn, "Do you swim over?" I'm not a good swimmer. ”

The unicorn smiled and said, "How can I let you swim over?" Then he began to instruct his assistants.

We didn't know how he helped us cross the river, so we just stood there stupidly and watched.

Onehorn's assistant began to follow the edge of the waterhole, looking for some driftwood washed down.

We saw him looking for driftwood, and he also helped with all kinds of hands, and after a while, almost all the driftwood along the waterhole near us was found, which fully proved the truth that everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high.

While we were looking for driftwood, the one-horned man ran out into the forest alone and pulled a long vine.

I also saw him pick up a small black stone from the gravel, the stone was not large, about five centimeters in diameter, but the small stone was very sharp, and in a few strokes it cut off a very tough tree vine, and then he stuck the small stone back into his boot.

After fetching the vine, the unicorn sat by the river and began to knead the vine section by section, as long as he kneaded it, the vine became as soft as a rope, and we followed his example, and began to turn the vine into a rope little by little.

While grabbing the vine in my hand to make a wrapping motion, I asked the unicorn, "You just picked up that little stone piece, why is it so useful?" I can cut such a thick vine. ”

The horn took out the small stone chip, which was black and bright in the sunlight, and he threw the stone into my hand and said, "This is called obsidian, you are careful of being scratched, it is very sharp." ”

Yan Qiu took the stone in my hand, put it in front of her eyes and looked left and right, and then she said, "Well, I know, obsidian is very sharp, and the sharpest scalpel in the world is made of obsidian." ”

It seems that to survive in the wild, you must not only know animals and plants, but also know stones.
