Despite our reluctance, it was getting dark. The sun was setting, and before the sun went down, it sprinkled all the golden light on the swamp without hesitation.

For a while, when I looked up, there were golden sparkles everywhere. Since entering the 100,000 Mountains, it has always been a series of mountains and dense forests, even if we climb high and look into the distance, we feel more majestic and beautiful, but at this time, when I see the more open swamp and the distant jungle and the farther mountains, which are plated with a layer of gold at the same time, I feel a different kind of grandeur and magnificence.

I think in a place like this, take out your phone and take a random photo, it's all at the level of a computer desktop.

But at this time, I was still worried about the safety of my second uncle, and I really didn't want to be nostalgic here.

Suddenly, there was a "gurgling" sound from the side, and Anador looked around in surprise: "This season, there are already toads?" ”

"Nonsense!" Lantern Xiao walked over with a weak face, "What a toad, that's my belly!" ”

Anaduo looked at Lantern Xiao strangely, "Can your stomach scream so loudly?" ”

"Nonsense!" Lantern Xiao had a bitter and hateful expression, "I'm hungry, you can do the math, I haven't eaten for a long time!" ”

I've always been attracted by what happened just now, and for a while I forgot about eating, so that Lantern Xiao said this, I also felt a strong sense of hunger. ‘

"Why don't we eat something first!" Lantern Xiao proposed.

"No," Lantern Xiao's words were categorically rejected by Anado, "It's getting dark, let's hurry as soon as possible, besides, our hands are full of mud, how can we eat this!" ”

"You're still a student. Why can't you eat this! As he spoke, Lantern Xiao wiped the mud on his hands, then walked to the puddle next to him and soaked, "Okay, isn't this clean." ”

Anador's face was full of disgust after seeing it, in fact, even I couldn't accept it for a while when I looked at the pale green puddle.

I stepped forward and patted the Lantern Festival, "Don't be hungry, don't choose to eat, bear with it anymore, and lose weight." ”

Lantern Xiao wanted to refute, but I couldn't help but say it, and pushed him forward. But no matter how good you think, there will always be some accidents, just after the Lantern Festival was dragged by me for more than ten meters, we suddenly found that the swamp had become deeper, and the protruding peat layer was so small that we could not use them to move forward.

We tested the depth of the water in front of us, and it was almost all knee-worth. As a last resort, we had to stop advancing. In this case, we don't know if the water inside will get deeper, and even if it is all knee-high water level after that, it is almost dark now, and it is not a good way to enter rashly, if you get lost in the middle, it is all so deep that there is no place to camp. Moreover, I now think that we may have been affected by the green smoke that reached the road, and perhaps the correct route through this swamp is not here, but as for where, with the current visibility, it is difficult to search until tomorrow.

Now the Lantern Festival was happy, "How about it, this is for people not to stay for themselves." ”

Anaduo glanced at Lantern Xiao, "Is this the meaning of the original sentence, use it indiscriminately!" ”

I looked around, "In that case, let's find a place to rest first, and then figure out a way tomorrow when it's dawn." "Fortunately, if we went back a little further from where we were, we could find a lot of large raised peat layers, covered with a lot of shrubs, and we used our short knives to trim a clearing, which was just right for camping. The cut shrubs and some of the dead branches around them are also just the materials for starting a fire.

When we raised the fire, the moon rose in the sky, and the white moonlight shone on the ground, and all the water in the swamp reflected the silver waves, outlining a beautiful scene.

It's nice to camp here, but I'm just worried about one thing, I don't know if there will be snakes or anything like that in the swamp here, and I don't want to be attacked by that animal when I sleep at night.

I consulted Anadot about this, but even though she lives on the edge of the 100,000 Mountains, she has never been here and has little experience with the current situation. But Anador said to me, "It's very possible that there are snakes, so we'd better be prepared." ”

"Ready? How to prepare? As soon as I heard her say that, I immediately felt a little big.

Anador looked at Lantern Festival, "Are you smoking?" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "What?" Got one? ”

Anador smiled, "One is not enough, you have to give me at least three!" ”

Lantern Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Huh! I can't see it, Sister, you're quite addicted to smoking! As he spoke, Lantern Xiao took out a box of cigarettes from his backpack, took out a few and handed them over, "I'll give you four, smoke slowly!" ”

Anador reached out and took it, and instead of putting it in her mouth, she took out a stainless steel water dispenser from her bag. After taking a little water from a nearby puddle, he crumpled all the cigarettes in his hand and threw them inside.

When Lantern Xiao saw it, he immediately exclaimed, "Hey!! I said second aunt! Don't waste it! I don't have much left! ”

Anador looked up at Lantern Festival, "It's not good for the body, smoke less!" As she spoke, Anado put the water dispenser on the fire and burned it, and the water with the tobacco leaves running in it quickly turned yellow.

Lantern Xiao looked at it and smiled, "What?" Bubble tea? Tobacco tea? ”

Anadot ignored him, and instead poured the tobacco-soaked water around the area where we had set up.

Seeing Anado's move, I remembered that snakes are extremely sensitive to the smell of smoke and avoid it. When I was a child, my mother worked in the municipal government, and I once went with her to a remote pumping station on the outskirts of the city, which was surrounded by wasteland and woods, and the pumping station had a large fixed reservoir, so it was particularly snake-friendly.

I still remember that after I got there, I climbed up the wall to play, but when I looked up, I found a turquoise snake coiled on a willow tree by the wall, fortunately, I heard my mother mention in advance that there are many snakes here, and I was prepared, and there are no poisonous snakes on our side, so there is no great danger. Despite this, I was still frightened. Just as I was about to come down from the wall, I looked down and there was a black and red snake crawling under the base of the wall. This is the first time I know what it's like to have a fried scalp! I ran to my mother's side crying and shouting at the speed of Usain Bolt, and never dared to go again.

This incident left a deep impression on me, so that even though I am now grown up and am not so afraid of snakes, I still have a feeling of numbness in my scalp every time I see snakes. In addition, I remember one thing clearly, that is, the people who lived on the pumping station all smoked, saying that they had the smell of smoke on their bodies, and the snakes did not dare to approach. In addition, the cigarette butts that have been smoked are collected every day and fenced under the window to prevent snakes from climbing in the middle of the night.

It seems that today Anador is using the same principle. Lantern Xiao patted her ass and stood up, "Yes, you guys draw circles slowly, and I'll go find some clean water next to it." As he spoke, he took out a large water dispenser from his bag. The equipment in the Lantern Festival bag is the equipment we brought, and the water dispenser we prepared is larger than the one prepared by the Yuan family, and it also comes with a primary filtration function.

After the Lantern Festival left, Anaduo and I poured the tobacco leaves and water around, and then began to prepare some food.

After a while, Lantern Xiao ran back in a hurry, and I saw his excited look on his face, so I asked, "What?" Found money here? ”

Lantern Xiao put the water dispenser on the ground and said to us: "I found that the water in the deep water area just now seems to be cleaner, so I plan to go forward and go to that position to get water, on the way there, I heard the sound of 'popping' on the edge of the puddle next to me, I didn't pay attention at first, but when I came back, by the moonlight, I finally found the source of those sounds." ”

I asked, "What is it?" ”

Lantern Xiao didn't speak with a mysterious expression, as if she was planning to sell Guanzi. I know this kind of psychology very well, if you ask at this time, he can go to heaven, the best way to deal with it is to hang it.

I stopped asking, but began to turn my head and continue to organize what I was holding, and Anado did not speak. These Lantern Festival's turn were in a hurry, "Hey! You ask!! Aren't you curious? ”

I didn't even raise my head and said, "Then you say!" I'm gagging you! ”

Lantern Xiao had no choice but to sigh, but then said with some excitement: "I saw that the one who made that sound was a fish!" ”

"That's it!" I was a little disappointed, I didn't expect that Lantern Festival was so nervous for a long time, but I found a few fish, "That's it, you're excited!" This swamp is rich in water, and there are fish in it, what's so strange about that?! ”

"It's not that simple," Lantern Xiao waved her hand again and again, and said, "I saw these fish, all of them jumped out of the water and jumped on the shore!" ”

"Huh?" I was a little surprised, "You mean the fish jumped out of the water on their own and walked around the shore?" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded again and again, "That's it." ”

I'm still a little confused, "You're not mistaken, are you sure it's not a toad?" ”

"You!" Lantern Xiao rolled her eyes, "Are my eyes so bad?" I can't tell the difference between a fish and a toad?! ”

I said to myself, "Is there such a strange fish in the world?" ”

"Absolutely." Lantern Xiao said very surely, "There are many such fish, and I heard that there is a kind of fish in the world called jumping fish, which can not only jump from the shore, but also climb trees. ”

I didn't quite believe Lantern Xiao's ridiculous-sounding remarks, and turned my head to look at Anado.

Anado thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of what you said about his jumping fish, but I know that we have a fish called the jumping loach, which can move from one body of water to another. ”
