Chapter 21: Ridiculous

The torrential rain was going to stop, after more than a day and two nights in a row.

Liu Yi and Gao Mei, who were in a comatose state, were shot diagonally on their faces by a beam of sunlight, and at the same time, they woke up.

"Stopped. Liu Yi sighed with a somewhat dull expression.

"Help me stand for a while......" Gao Mei's face was pale, but she was in good spirits.

In order to have sufficient wind resistance and save construction time, the rain shelter is neither high nor spacious.

People can't stretch their bodies at all when they stay inside.

Liu Yi was okay, he rushed into the rain several times to look for food and herbs during the period, although he was cold enough, he was able to move.

But Gao Mei has been nesting in the canopy, and at this time, every joint in her body is like she is going to rust to death.

When Gao Mei was helped out of the canopy, her waist couldn't straighten up. Grabbing Liu Yi with one hand, it took a long time to get used to it before he slowly stood up straight.

dragged the injured leg slowly for a while, and then it was easy to stretch the body.

The sun quickly warmed the air, but it was drenched everywhere, and there was no material to start a fire.

Liu Yi ate a few wild fruits, dissolved the remaining little field dry food with water, and let Gao Mei drink it.

Although the weather is clear, torrential rains and even flash torrents are raging everywhere in the jungle.

The two were temporarily trapped, but Liu Yi was not idle.

I gathered a lot of materials that could be used to make a fire, spread them on the broad leaves of the rain shelter roof, and waited for the sun to dry.

Then, I shuttled through the nearby mountains that I could walk on.

Many animals come out to forage after heavy rains, which is a good time to hunt. Especially the pheasants, the feathers on their bodies are completely wet, and as long as they are found, they are picked up for nothing.

Near noon, Liu Yi harvested a lot of money, "picking up" two pheasants and a fat rabbit trapped in the middle of a surging stream.

After slaughtering and cleaning up, it returns to the gentle slope.

Unfortunately, the fuel for drying is still wet, and it is still impossible to make a fire.

"Let's take a break. ”

Seeing that Liu Yi hung up his prey under the rain shelter and was about to leave, Gao Mei persuaded him.

This was the first time the two had spoken since leaving the rain shelter.

"The water grows so much, we can't walk today. I'll have to check the firewood to dry. ”

After Liu Yi said with a smile, he went into the forest again.

The night fell again, and Liu Yi lit a bonfire with great difficulty.

Although the fire was burning, the firewood was not dry, and the smoke was rising, and the people who were choking did not dare to gasp.

Fortunately, the wind direction gradually stabilized after dark, and the two could finally sit upwind and slowly bake the prey that Liu Yi got back during the day.

Seeing that the meat in front of him was slowly simmered, Liu Yi's stomach let out a "roar".

When she was embarrassed, Gao Mei's stomach seemed to be infected, and there was a series of similar movements.

The two of them couldn't hold back and laughed at the same time.

In the laughter, the awkward mood of the two of them that lasted from morning to dark finally melted with the night wind......

When the sunlight once again banished the darkness, the two ate some dried meat that had been smoked overnight.

After Liu Yi changed the medicine for Gao Mei's wound again, he simply packed up his things, and finally continued to set foot on the way home while it was still early.

When he walked to the nearby hillside, Liu Yi subconsciously turned around.

glanced at the rain shelter looming on the slope opposite, and there was a faint reluctance in my heart.

Glancing at Gao Mei, who was walking slowly on crutches, Liu Yi shook his head and shook off the feelings that should not have been born.

Take a few steps and hold her arm to meet the light.

Liu Yi didn't notice that when Gao Mei was about to walk to the top of the mountain, she also looked back at the rain shelter on the gentle slope in the distance, and her eyes revealed unconcealed tenderness and reluctance......

After walking for a long time, the two of them, who had been silent for most of the time, finally found a suitable topic.

That is, Gao Mei explained to Liu Yi in detail but not very systematically the overview and key points of jungle warfare, infiltration warfare, etc., and special operations.

It's not too deliberate, it's just what you think or see, and you talk about it. Sometimes he also talks about the various guns used by foreign armies, as well as weapons with high technological content.

When he was resting, Gao Mei taught Liu Yi how to disassemble and maintain weapons, or break branches, sketch and draw on the ground to teach Liu Yi various tactical formations, as well as technical essentials such as interspersing and detours.

These contents greatly mobilized Liu Yi's emotions, no matter what Gao Mei said, he listened carefully and remembered it attentively.

Occasionally, when I encounter something I don't understand, or if I have some whimsical ideas, I will say it.

Gao Mei's patience is excellent, no matter how "mentally retarded" the questions she hears or how "mentally retarded" her thoughts are, she will answer them very seriously.

Between questions and answers, the endless journey back seems to have become less arduous.

Occasionally, Liu Yi even had the idea that if he could go on all the time, it would be a good idea.

Two and a half days later, although there was still a jungle with no end in sight, Liu Yi and Gao Mei both realized that the "journey" was approaching the end.

Soon, Gao Mei found a reference point in her impression, and urged Liu Yi with a little excitement and helped her to walk in one direction.

After walking for a while, Liu Yi found bullet holes in many tree trunks, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.

Helping Gao Mei to follow the traces of the battle, he kept walking forward.

The further he went, the more bullet marks in his field of vision became, and Liu Yi even saw a whole fan of plants, and he didn't know what weapons were swept down.

The torrential rain erased most of the traces, and Gao Mei's expression became more and more agitated as she stood in the place where the fighting had been fiercest.

After searching around, his expression gradually calmed down.

"You were ambushed here before?" Liu Yi asked softly.

After a few days of conversation, Liu Yi learned some details about Gao Mei's mission.

He knew that Gao Mei's mission was not alone, but a team of people. It's just that the members of the pursuit squad died one after another.

In the end, only Gao Mei was left.

Looking at the battlefield in front of me that is still tragic after being washed away by the torrential rain. Liu Yi judged that the most tragic battle in Gao Mei's pursuit was likely to happen here.

And Gao Mei is coming over now, probably to collect the corpses of his comrades.

But looking at the situation in front of him, Liu Yi knew that the battlefield had been cleaned up. Otherwise, you won't lose sight of any supplies and equipment left behind.

What Liu Yi can think of, Gao Mei can naturally think of.

She also knew that only her own people could go deep into the jungle to collect the remains of her comrades.

And the sacrificed comrades-in-arms did not have a violent corpse wilderness, which is the greatest comfort to Gao Mei at this moment.

"Find a place to camp. Liu Yi looked up at the sky and made a suggestion.

In fact, it's still early, and even if it's dark, the two of them are likely to be able to eat a hot meal tonight and sleep in a warm bed.

However, Gao Mei agreed to Liu Yi's suggestion.
