Chapter 2: Ingots (I)

God knows exactly what happened.

Chu Mingshu looked quite depressed, he squatted down weakly, picked up the dagger and knocked his head with the hilt, hoping that he could become more sober...... In fact, he was able to survive this time, and he was grateful to fate.

I didn't die right away, did I.

Mudslides, ginseng, crossing.

These things swirled around in his head...... Chu Mingshu closed his eyes and forced himself to be calm,

"Since you're on the verge of life and death...... I'm still alive now...... It can't be any worse!"

Sighing, Chu Mingshu comforted himself.

Escaping death, this is the current situation of Chu Mingshu!

Now he has nothing to lose except his life......

Chu Mingshu lowered his eyes, and suddenly laughed a little self-deprecatingly,

Ah, let's see, the new official has taken office, the banquet has not yet had time to be placed, the sports car just bought has been paid, and in the new house of about 150 square meters, the gentle and beautiful wife is waiting for him...... The life that has just settled down can only appear in dreams now...... And these dreams, like fragile bubbles, burst at the slightest poke...... Every time I woke up from the darkness, I was still in danger, and I had nothing to ...... All.

However, if you are optimistic......

Chu Mingshu frowned slightly, then let go, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

In addition to the danger at this moment......

Rejuvenation, throughout the ages, how many people can't ask for it!

That's right

Once through another world, the Chu Mingshu at this moment is naturally still the original Chu Mingshu, but it is just ...... His body has shrunk by two rings!

Chu Mingshu raised his hand and looked down at his thin arms and legs, his current self is only ten years old at most!

"Gollum... Gollum ......"

It's been a day of hunger, touching his shriveled stomach, Chu Mingshu took a deep breath, clenched his dagger, and jumped off the stump,

Cheer up! If you're lucky, you might soon find a herbivore, a big, small-looking, boar-like beast!

After a previous rainstorm, flash floods, and lack of food were the deadliest.

The surrounding trees have fallen, and most of them are not in the mud...... At the moment, there are very few animals that have survived, only some scorpions, ants, and earthworms floating on the mud.

There was a small black snake, as thick as an adult's arm, and he seemed to have been dizzy by the great flood, and at this time hung limply on the bare branches of the trees, lazy, and did not move for a long time.

The baby snake has two sharp horns on the top of its head, grinning teeth, and looks terrifying...... Chu Mingshu knew this species, it was called the black bat, it had a small pointed head similar to a bat, its fangs were very sharp, but there was no toxin in the saliva, and it was delicious.

Holding the long pole and carefully flowing over, Chu Mingshu had a dagger in his mouth, he was short, his body was thin, the mountain road was rugged, full of mud, all the way down, his arms, shoulders, and thighs were scratched and pulled with many scars.

There were hares that swooped down at their feet, but there was no way to catch them...... The rabbits in the mountains are almost fine, and they are running like rockets.

"Woo-"

Fighting a snake pays attention to quick eyes, otherwise it will either run away, or it will run away after being bitten back.

Obviously, this is not the first time to do such a thing, Chu Mingshu's movements are quite skilled, he licked his lips, scooped up the small snake that fell, peeled the skin and cramped, disposed of the internal organs in two or three clicks, and threaded the snake meat with a thin branch, he turned out the flint, used dry grass to start the fire, and soon barbecued.

"Whew~"

It was rare to have a full stomach, and before he knew it, the sun was about to sink in the west, Chu Mingshu looked up at the sky, and saw the dark clouds on the top of the mountain in the distance, and the wind gusted...... He couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart......

After burying the remains of the food, Chu Mingshu grabbed a handful of dirt and extinguished the fire, and ran away.

The mountains and wilderness at night are dominated by wolves, and the smell of barbecue can easily provoke them, so he has to run far ahead of him.

Probably by luck, Chu Mingshu quickly found a resting place in a bush—a low tree hollow.

Poked with the branch, but didn't find any other animals inside, Chu Mingshu was very happy, and immediately picked up the branch and got in.

After trying, this tree hole is not very big, but it is just enough to fit his body, and after scribbling it away, Chu Mingshu crawled out and pushed a half-human-high stone hard, and together with the wide leaves of the rubber tree, it was used to cover the entrance of the cave.

He smeared mud on his face and clothes, hoping to hide his scent.

As night fell, the surviving wolves ran through the bushes, their paws clapping on the muddy water and making a clattering sound.

Chu Mingshu held a one-meter-long wooden stick in his hand, the dagger at the end of the stick was firmly tied with a shoelace, he carefully leaned against the dry grass in the tree hole, and slowly knocked his eyes, he didn't dare to fall asleep, but the whole person was tired.

"Unfortunately, there has been no response so far. Chu Mingshu closed his eyes and raised his hand to gently caress the piece of black jade that had been hanging on his chest...... Since devouring that ginseng, it has looked more like an ordinary stone.

A dreamless night......

The sun was blazing, but the jungle was still foggy, and the air was filled with drifting water vapor...... There was a torrential rain last night! A large area of the woods had been flooded by the rain! At this time, the sky was clear, the water and the sky were all the same, except for the birds that flew by from time to time, and the water surface was as calm as a mirror..... Suddenly, the otherwise calm water shook with a wave!

"Poof-"

Chu Mingshu suddenly woke up, the tree hole he was in grew on the waist of the tree, and the shrubs were low, and they were only two people tall until the branches were extended!

I felt a tingling sensation in my legs. He hurriedly lowered his head and saw that the skin on the lower half of his body was all soaked in muddy water, and it was already swollen and white!

"Ah, damn it!"

Quickly took off his soaked clothes and pants, stuffed them into his backpack two or three times, Chu Mingshu untied the dagger on the stick, held it in his mouth, pushed away the stone, and a lot of muddy water poured in, he tied up the backpack, held his breath, and got out.

"Whew~"

Finally got out of the muddy water, Chu Mingshu grabbed the branches on the top of the bush with both hands, raised his head and took a big breath of air, and finally his breath stabilized, he wiped the muddy water on his eyes, looked down, and suddenly felt a little afraid in his heart...... The entire forest below him had been flooded, and if he hadn't come to his senses in time, he would probably have drowned......

"Oh...... Oh~"

There was a faint whimper in his ears, Chu Mingshu turned his head to look, but saw a little wolf cub the size of a palm, pulling a small branch, the branch was very thin, just barely floating on the water, and the wolf cub's small paws did not have much strength...... It has even gradually become weak!

"Oh~" It kicked its hind legs hard, raised its nose, stared at Chu Mingshu with wet eyes, and let out a small wail.

Suddenly I felt that this little wolf cub was like myself...... The same lonely and helpless, dying and struggling in the boundless jungle, sent by the gods, Chu Mingshu stuffed the dagger into the backpack, and hung the backpack on the branches beside him, bit it, and swam into the water!
