Chapter 7 Camp by the waterfall
An afternoon of boring swimming upstream, let all of us slowly deplete the freshness of the valley. There will be rocky mountains all around, and then a small woods, and the repetitive scrolling images will make us extremely bored.
I asked Jiang Li, "Is the place you mentioned still far away?" What's going on now? ”
Jiang Li shook his head and replied to me: "I can't see it at all now, because I am already in it, and the center of the whirlpool is this Kent Mountain." ”
I wondered again, "How is that different from what you said?" Doesn't it mean that there is no life in a radius of many miles? I see how this place is thriving? ”
Jiang Li shook her head again, she said, "I don't know, but it's a good thing, it's not as I thought." When we get to the source of the river, let's see what the hell is going on, it's best to be fine. ”
I nodded in agreement, and it was indeed a good sign, not as we had expected, the fauna and vegetation of the mountain had not been affected in any way, and it seemed as if it was more prosperous.
I was still thinking about how to find the source of the disaster and what methods could be used to improve the bad situation, but I didn't expect that I was thinking too much.
With the temporary disappearance of the invisible crisis, my mood has changed from heavy to light. But another feeling that came up was that I wanted to get to my destination quickly, get out of here quickly, and go home. I'm starting to get a little bored with the qiē in front of me, and I don't have any desire to continue playing.
The river gradually became more turbulent, but the channel gradually narrowed, and the depth of the river was significantly reduced, and you could already see the sand and rocks at the bottom of the river through the clear water, and countless small fish fry.
Our boat had to come to a halt at a shoal, which was already half-stranded and could no longer move forward because of the low water level.
Everyone jumped from the boat to the shore, sorted out their equipment, and dragged the boat ashore en masse. We found some relatively large plant leaves, covered the boat tightly, and began to walk while it was not dark. From this moment on, we really started hiking in the mountains.
We were still walking along the river, and we heard a loud sound of water not far away, and our temporary destination was to the place where the sound of water was made.
After all, in this mountain, even during the day, it is very difficult to discern the direction, and everyone around them feels unfamiliar. Including Uncle Galu, who showed us the way, he didn't always come into the mountains. It's like walking in the dark, and there is a point of light in front of you, then you will definitely walk towards the point of light. We are now walking in the dark, and the point of light is the sound of water in the distance.
If you don't walk on the rocky ground by the river, you won't be able to feel the comfort of sitting in a boat. We stumbled and staggered from side to side, and in a short time we became like deserters, and every step seemed particularly lazy.
Especially me and the fat brother, I am used to being pampered, I take the car wherever I go, and I usually can't do the heavy work. The fat brother is fat, and his legs bear nearly a hundred pounds more than ordinary people. It seems that the two of us really need to work harder, and it is better to endure the sissy coach in the gym than to endure the annoying stone path under our feet.
What sustains us as we move forward is the sound of the water. In my heart at this moment, I am looking forward to getting there quickly, to find a big flat rock, and to lie down and rest.
As we got closer to the sound, the sound of the water began to grow louder and louder, which could be described as deafening. It was only when we were about a hundred meters away that we could see that the sound of the water was coming from a rushing waterfall.
The waterfall is not large, five meters wide and seven or eight meters high. Below the waterfall is a deep pool that has been hit out all year round, and the torrent is splashing in the waterhole, and there is a hint of coolness in the distance.
Perhaps the happiest of all was Uncle Garu, who said to us, "Here we are, this is the source of the river, and the water flows down from this waterfall." ”
Apparently the rest of us know that this is just the beginning, and to find the true source of the river, you have to go to the waterfall. This can completely stump us, climbing such a high waterfall, it is estimated that Zhao Tiesuo is the kind of person who has been a scout.
Su Rina said to Uncle Garu: "Uncle, our boss said that this is not the real source, and to improve the water quality, we have to move forward." ”
Uncle Galu shook his head and said, "I can't go any further, if I go any further, I will go to the territory of the gods." Isn't that what it means to stop here? ”
No one answered Uncle Garu's question.
Uncle Galu also understood, stop here, and indeed everyone disagreed.
Just when everyone was silent, waiting for Uncle Galu to decide, the fat brother interrupted: "Let's talk about it tomorrow or not, it's getting late today, should we find a place to rest?" ”
I am in favor of the fat brother's mention with both hands, whether it is going forward or looking back, I don't want to take a step now. And it's going to get dark now, and it's not realistic for us to go back in the dark. If another bear comes out at night, I'm afraid it's not as simple as grabbing food, and we'll have to beat us up.
The unicorn looked into the distance for a moment, then pointed at his hand, probably because of the language barrier, he didn't bother to speak.
I followed the direction of his finger, and it was on the side of the waterfall near our side of the mountain wall, there was a huge protruding rock, and there was a natural shed underneath the rock. It seems that he has found a good place to live, and we will spend the night there tonight.
Before it was dark, Uncle Galu took out his line again, went to the river to fish, and gave us dinner, and the three girls went to help Uncle Garu.
Fat Brother and I gathered firewood and prepared to light a bonfire at our residence. The temperature difference between day and night in Mongolia is large, and the nights here must be very cold, we have been taught before, so my fat brother and I tried to pick up more dry firewood, and built a firewood pile against the wall under the rocks, which is estimated to be not burned all night.
Unicorn and his assistant were circling two trees not far away, not knowing what they were tinkering with.
I learned the method before the unicorn, scraping the sawdust from the inside of the plank, and then holding a small ball of flocculent in my hand and asking the fat brother to use a lighter to light it.
The fat brother hit the lighter several times, but the fire was not ignited.
I muttered: "It's clumsy to make a fire, but it's quite good when you use a coffin to make a fire in Cao Cao's tomb." ”
The fat guy grinned and took the sawdust in my hand, and then I used the lighter to light it again, but it didn't work after several hits.
The fat brother looked at me proudly, as if to say, no one can come.
This time, the lighter was really not durable, so I threw the lighter on the ground, stretched out my hand and said to the fat brother, "Come, give me yours." ”
The fat brother was immediately stunned, glared at me and said, "I didn't." ”
It's bad now, I haven't seen the other three men smoke along the way, obviously only me and the fat brother smoke, so is the lighter in my hand the only one?
I picked up the lighter on the ground and walked over to Unicorn and his assistant.
After working for a while, they actually built a small shed between the two trees. One end of the two long sticks was tied with rattan to the waists of the two trees, three meters apart. The other end is naturally drooping against the ground.
Between the two diagonal sticks, there were rattan sticks tied horizontally, and the rattan was covered with large leaves.
The leaves were torn open in two holes on both sides and stuck right into the rattan.
The result is a small shed with a right triangle in cross-section, with one side opening as the two trees at the same interval, and the other side diagonally up to the ground. And this shed is completely natural materials, all of which are hand-built from the woods. The side where the leaves hang looks like a coat, and the large leaves form layers of tiles, and even if it rains, it will definitely not leak a drop.
Presumably, they thought that the underside of the big rock was not spacious enough, and opened up another shelter next to it. I also took this opportunity to learn another trick, and sure enough, I am a professional hunter, and I can build a tent for myself anytime and anywhere, which is better and more primitive than those hunters who carry a shotgun and carry a tent into the mountains.
I took the lighter and shook it in front of them and said, "The lighter is broken, do you two have it?" Now it can't be ignited. ”
Apparently they didn't understand and stared at me.
I used the broken lighter and hit them a few times, but it didn't hit.
Only then did they understand what I meant, and Unicorn gave his assistant a look, and he walked over to our firewood.
When the fat brother saw that they had set up another tent, he moved the firewood pile to this side while we were talking, so that both sides could be roasted.
Galu's assistant crouched down next to the firewood and groped in his trouser pocket, I remember he had a slingshot in his pocket, did he want to light it on fire? But what he didn't expect was that what he took out this time was actually a key.
