Chapter 44: The Big Dipper

However, Lao Gu was still righteous, and he didn't forget to mumble when he was half asleep and half awake: "You two call me when you come to me......" After speaking, he continued to sleep.

Qin Zhen watched from the sidelines and wanted to kick him to death. I've already woken up, and if there's nonsense, I'm up.

Jiang Qi didn't bother with Lao Gu, he just sat against the tree like that. Although it seems to be closing his eyes and recuperating, it is estimated that it is the same as being awake. Yudong and the others seem to have such inhuman skills, I don't know if this is also practiced from the army.

However, regarding Jiang Qi's skills, Qin Zhen naturally did not have it. So now he looked at the trance light in the distance, as if he had been hypnotized, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier......

Just when Qin Zhen was also asleep, he suddenly realized in a hazy way that the fireflies seemed to be scattered by something, breaking through the shape of the city tower and flying in all directions. That kind of wonderful scene, like a fairyland of broken jade......

No, that's not right...... Qin Zhen is trying hard to regain his consciousness! What a fucking fairyland, if it weren't for something that suddenly startled that firefly, how could they suddenly disperse.

Maybe it was because he was too tired, and when he was conscious, Qin Zhen found that he couldn't open his eyes. At this time, Jiang Qi, who was listening to the side, stood up very vigilantly, picked up the gun and seemed to aim at the location of the fireflies. Apparently, he had noticed the mutation, too.

It didn't take long for Jiang Qi to start shaking Qin Zhen and Lao Gu, while shouting anxiously in a low voice: "Brothers, wake up!" There's movement over there! ”

After Qin Zhen staggered up. Very tired, he said, "It's like I'm being pressed by a ghost...... I know it in my heart, but I just can't get up. ”

At this time, Lao Gu's faint voice came from the side: "If you are lazy, you will say that you are lazy, and you will fuck the ghost press the bed...... Is there a bed here? ”

As soon as Qin Zhen was about to return the favor, Jiang Qi patted Qin Zhen and said, "You two will pinch it in a while, look at that firefly, although they can't scream, but judging from the state of suddenly scattering and fleeing in all directions, it is estimated that something happened there." ”

Lao Gu shook his head. Squinted at the light that had dispersed. Right now. There were sporadic bits of light everywhere in front of me, and now I could see that they were indeed fireflies. Lao Gu wondered, "Are they going to die?" Scattered birds and beasts? ”

"Fireflies have a short lifespan, generally only three to seven days. But I don't think it's as simple as a natural death. Qin Zhen analyzed simply.

Lao Gu also knew that what Qin Zhen said was reasonable, so he flattened his mouth and said weakly: "What's the matter?" Are we going to save them? We are now mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect ourselves. So I can only hope that everyone is okay. These little bugs are not dead of natural causes. I really don't have that kind of care. Because it's unknown whether I'll be able to get into a natural death. How can there be such a big heart to care about them? Listen to me, just take it as a normal phenomenon, and if you endure it any longer, it will be dawn. ”

Listen to Lao Gu. Qin Zhen smiled coldly and said, "If you endure it any longer, it will be dawn?" You're sleeping, you! The current time, at most 12 o'clock. ”

When Lao Gu heard Qin Zhen's words, his eyes suddenly widened: "Huh? How do you know! Do we still call this kind of thing now? ”

"yes, we're not going to be high-tech. But the stars in the sky don't lie, they tell us the time very clearly. You see, now that the weather is fine, as long as we face the north and extend the two pole stars at the mouth of the Big Dipper by more than five times, we will be able to find the North Star. Think of the North Star as the exact center of the clock's surface, and the line that points to the North Star as the hour hand. In this case, with 12 on the top, 3 on the right, 6 on the bottom, and 9 on the left, a Big Dipper clock is already formed. Since the stars rise in the east and set in the west, the hour hand of the Big Dipper should rotate in the opposite direction to the hour hand of an ordinary clock. After 12 o'clock, it is 11 o'clock, and so on. Isn't it 12 o'clock in the evening? ”

Jiang Qi smiled approvingly on the side, while Lao Gu opened his mouth wide, looking at Qin Zhen's eyes straight! After a long time, he asked faintly: "These ...... Did you do it all? ”

"No, when I was in the desert, I heard Yudong talk about it." Qin Zhen replied truthfully.

Lao Gu patted his thigh and said, "I'll just say it!" Since I was a child, I don't know how many pounds and taels you have?! How could you possibly be such a mystical thing? If Dong Shao said it, then I would believe it. If you say that you summarized the research yourself, I don't think I heard it. Your authority is too low. Lao Gu pursed his lips disdainfully.

Qin Zhen was angry, glared at Lao Gu fiercely, and then said in a deep voice: "Now that you know the time, then you should understand, it's not that we have the leisure to care about the life and death of the fireflies." But in this long night, only a few hundred meters away, their situation is closely related to us. ”

"So what do you mean...... Let's act as a hero in Liangshan and go to help out? Then/damn which Liangshan hero wouldn't do such a heartless thing! ”

"Old Gu, it's you who lacks the eyes. I didn't say we'd go over, I just didn't think we could rest like we did anymore. This/Night...... Hold on! Qin Zhen said a last resort. Now the slightest disturbance around him could make him feel the smell of danger. In such an environment, relaxation is a precursor to death.

When the rest time was ruthlessly deprived like this, the three of them tacitly began to look for cigarettes......

Lighting a cigarette, Lao Gu sighed with emotion and said, "Da Zhen, I really didn't expect that you are now a person who can barely go up to astronomy and know geography." ”

Qin Zhen glanced at him and smiled, "This should be the most basic thing, but we were just a waste in the first place." Otherwise, do you think that the concept of time has been clouded from beginning to end? ”

"Big Banner!? Eh, you know the stars, too?? Lao Gu looked at Jiang Qi curiously.

Qin Zhen said helplessly: "Field battles, special training, do you think he can still get to this point if he can't even tell the time and direction?" ”

Jiang Qi smiled very introvertedly and said: "This is indeed the most basic condition for survival in the wild, Lao Gu, you should also understand it." ”

"Know what? If you can't see the Big Dipper, you're not stunned! Lao Gu said unconvinced.

"The Big Dipper is invisible, but you can see Cassiopeia opposite it...... As long as the weather is good, the three hundred and sixty-five days can be divided by them. Jiang Qi answered Lao Gu sincerely.

Lao Gu was a little annoyed and said angrily: "Then what if it's windy and rainy!" ”

Jiang Qi hesitated slightly, and then replied in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if it's windy or rainy, you can use latitude and longitude, time, month ......."

"Stop, stop, stop......" Lao Gu interrupted Jiang Qi's words, and then said with a sore back: "Hey, I found out, without Dongshao's big star pressing, you all began to flicker a little light!" Okay, okay, count some of the carving insect skills you know. As he spoke, he turned his head angrily and snorted.

Qin Zhen smoked cigarette after cigarette, because he was still haunted by the firefly incident just now.

Jiang Qi picked up a slender wooden stick at this time, drew a few lines on the ground and said, "We should have passed the hinterland of the rainforest by now." Tomorrow at dusk, you'll probably be able to get out of the rainforest. ”

Listening to Jiang Qi's words, everyone felt that their spirits were uplifted. They'll finally be able to get out of this breathless rainforest full of murderous motives!

Qin Zhen also nodded and said, "Yes, judging from the clues left by the Nazis before, the last section out of the rainforest should be a waterfall with a high drop. We have to pass through the top of the waterfall and go upstream. Finally, you can see the secret realm of Nanga Bhava. ”

"Don't you think that sounds a bit suspenseful? The snow-capped mountains are also well-known and famous! I think that the most beautiful mountain in China was once ranked first, and people from all over the world flocked to it. If there is such an evil place that is clearly there, no one has ever found it?? After all, Lao Gu was still skeptical of the Nazi line and myths.

Qin Zhen patiently explained: "Until now, the map left by the Nazis has not been missed. Even the marks marked with the red skull were fulfilled one by one. I don't think there should be much of a problem, besides, we've come here with all kinds of difficulties, aren't you discouraged when you say this? ”

"No, no, I didn't mean that. Eh, you say, we're all about to get out, what about the Titan? What about the big monster that was good? Could it be that in 70 years, it has long since returned to the West? You see, there are still things that scare people. Lao Gu smiled heartlessly. It's as if the Titan didn't show up, and he won without a fight.

Speaking of Titans, Qin Zhen is actually very puzzling. Both the natives and Tashi insisted that there was something like a Titan in this place, and that most of the Nazis had died at the hands of the Titan. They had seen almost all the legendary terrible creatures in the rainforest, so how could they not see the legendary Titan?

It's not that they're making a mistake and making things awkward, but the more they do this, the more uneasy they feel. The man-eating Titan seems to be the ultimate guardian of this rainforest, a creature that stands at the top of the food chain of the Brahmaputra rainforest. How could it just let them go......

Thinking of this, Qin Zhen raised his head with some apprehension. The flakes in the distance had faded in fluorescence, and there were occasional dots of stars, which no longer looked so dazzling in the dark night. It's really dark late at night.

When I raised my head, only the eternal stars were still moving slowly and methodically. At this moment, the direction pointed by the Polaris Clock was already close to three o'clock.

Early in the morning, it is finally not so far away. (To be continued......)
