Chapter 3: The Nameless Valley (2)

After a good night's sleep, Ma Yun only felt refreshed at this moment.

I simply ate some strawberries, put away the package, jumped off the canopy bed, and continued along the valley floor that I had not explored yesterday.

A fruit tree on the way, although the fruit is similar to an apple, but you can smell an attractive sweet smell in the distance, Ma Yun couldn't help but eat one immediately, that sweet and refreshing feeling, even if it was the best fruit he had eaten before, he was far from it, and he ate five fruits in one breath until he felt a little supportive before he stopped, and packed more than ten fruits and continued on the road. Before I knew it, I walked forward for a long time before I reached the end of the valley, which was another dead end.

"Well, it seems that the only hope is at the other end of the valley. Ma Yun was not discouraged, and after confirming that there was no secret passage to the outside, he turned back again.

Returning to the fruit tree again, he saw a shadow shaking on the fruit tree from a long distance, Ma Yun quietly dived closer and found that it was a small brown monkey eating fruit on the tree.

The little monkey felt very keen, and even found Ma Yun hiding in the grass, squeaked at the grass where he was, and threw a leftover fruit core over, which happened to hit him on the head.

Ma Yun stood up from the grass helplessly, smiled and waved at the little monkey, and tried to show a friendly appearance. The little monkey was not as friendly as Ma Yun imagined, only to see it jump off the tree with a sudden, and disappear into the dense grass with a few flashes. Seeing this, Ma Yun shook his head, picked two more fruits and ate them, and continued to walk towards the other end of the valley without staying too long.

Constantly shuttling through the grass is not only boring, but also difficult to tell the time, and when the sky is dark again, Ma Yun returns to the position of the canopy bed yesterday, and this time it took a whole day to explore back and forth.

"I haven't found a way out, but I'm not in much trouble with what to eat and where to sleep, so let's sleep on this canopy bed again tonight." ”

Ma Yun opened the package and ate some fruit, saw the small gray cloth bag, had nothing to do, picked up the small black stone and played with it, and couldn't see the slightest abnormality, so he put it aside, and picked up the small iron piece and looked at it, it was also extremely ordinary, and there was no difference, so he casually threw the small iron piece next to the black stone.

At the moment when the small piece of iron touched the stone, Ma Yun clearly saw a few sparks, and in an instant he understood the role of the stone and the piece of iron: a fire tool. The small black stone should be a flint such as saltpeter, and it can produce sparks when rubbed with hard objects, especially iron objects, and it is extremely convenient to make a fire.

"Now that we have fire, and we find water, then we will be more than half successful in surviving in the wilderness!"

When it comes to wilderness survival, Ma Yun is an extremely avid wilderness survival enthusiast, but unfortunately all this is just an ideal and has never been truly experienced. However, his knowledge of wilderness survival is abundant.

Over the years, Bei Ye's "Survival in the Wilderness" program has been popular all over the country, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, Gobi, wetlands, rainforests, and various extremely dangerous environments, Bei Ye has survived through his magical survival skills, and what he admires most about Bei Ye is: the man who stands at the top of the food chain. In this man's eyes, any food is only divided into fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Whether it's a banana or tree bark, it's all carbohydrates, no matter the taste, whether it's wild boar or a caterpillar, it's protein in his eyes, never taste. What a simple man!

Not only Bei Ye, but also those "Husband and Wife Survival in the Wilderness", "Single-handedly Wilderness", and "Wilderness Chef", Ma Yun watched a lot of episodes and really learned a lot of knowledge from them.

In his heart, he has always imagined that he will one day be able to go deep into an extremely difficult environment, and then through his survival knowledge, he will tenaciously get out of the predicament, and now it seems that the opportunity has come.

Ma Yun deeply knows that there is a spirit of adventure in his bones, an unyielding spirit, and he feels that if Mount Tai really collapses in front of him, he will not change color, because he can't run away anyway, so he has to accept it calmly. Accepting reality has been an important gain for him in cultivating his mind over the years.

He sometimes can't help but fantasize: If he had been born thousands of years earlier and lived in a chaotic era, what kind of person would he be? With joy and fantasy, Ma Yun fell asleep on the canopy bed again.

"Oops!" Ma Yun, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up, and when he looked sideways, a small round pebble was lying quietly on the straw mat next to his head. I got up and looked around, but I didn't notice anything unusual.

"Could it be a stone that fell from the top of the valley, but at this distance, calculated according to the acceleration of gravity, it must be the speed of a bullet, and my head has already blossomed!"

"Maybe the stones hit the cliff or the grass on the cliff slowed down. That's a blessing in disguise. It is unfortunate that such a small rock is hit by such a small rock, and it is fortunate that such a fast stone eventually becomes very slow. Ma Yun thought about it and came to a reasonable conclusion.

At this moment, the valley is already very bright, and even if you don't wake up from the stones, it's time to get up. Ma Yun simply ate a few fruits, packed up the package, and set off towards the other side of the valley bottom.

After traveling for a while, Ma Yun arrived at the grass where he first woke up, except for a piece of grass that was overwhelmed by him when he was lying down and took on a general human shape, the grass in the rest of the place was neat and abnormal, and there was still no trace of a human being.

Still didn't find anything, Ma Yun didn't stay too long, and continued to explore the past to the other side. The road to the valley on the right is also very long, and it is dark again, and it does not reach the end, and there is nothing to be found. Ma Yun layered large fields of weeds and made a straw bed.

Along the way, he also found a few low plants, full of purple, red, and yellow small fruits, but he didn't know these plants, and such plant fruits were likely to be poisonous, Ma Yun didn't dare to try it easily, fortunately, there were a few apples in the package, and Ma Yun didn't dare to squander it, so he only picked the biggest one and ate it.

It's strange to say, Ma Yun has been eating fruit for two days in a row, although he occasionally feels hungry, but as long as he eats something casually, it disappears, especially after two days of not drinking water, it should be far from enough to rely on the water in the fruit, but the feeling of thirst is not very obvious.

"I'm not very thirsty at the moment, but I'm sure I'll find a water source for these two days. Jack Ma planned in his heart.

In the first half of the night, Ma Yun had been worried about reptiles such as snakes and rats, and he didn't sleep very well, but the bottom of the valley was silent, and even his own breathing could be heard clearly, except for the sound of breathing and the sparse chirping of insects. In the second half of the night, I fell asleep in a groggy state.

"Oops!" Ma Yun, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by something again, and when he got up, he saw a small pebble lying quietly on the grass mat nearby, exactly the same as yesterday morning. Hurriedly looked around, but did not find the slightest finding.

"Could it be that this stone fell from the sky again, and it was slowed down and hit me again so coincidentally?" Ma Yun touched the faintly sore head that was smashed, puzzled. He believes in coincidences, but not in successive coincidences.

"There's got to be something strange about this! There's no danger at the moment, but it's better to be careful. After thinking about it, he ate an apple and continued to set off to find a way out.

As he continued to advance, Ma Yun gradually found a little change, that is, a faint fog appeared on the way forward, although the fog was very light, but looking ahead, it would still be weakened by the fog A lot of vision; after walking for about three or four hours, the fog was obviously thick, and he could only see the distance of about ten meters in front.

In order to avoid turning around, Ma Yun kept moving forward against the side of the rock wall. After walking for about two hours, I could only see about three meters in front of me, and I felt a chill.

Even though Ma Yun slept on the canopy bed at night and spent two nights with only the clothes on his body, he never felt a little cold. Unexpectedly, I felt a chill in this mist, and this chill was very strange, and there was a feeling of being directly cold to the bones. With such an obvious change, Ma Yun knew that there must be something strange ahead, and after a little hesitation, he felt that the chill was bearable, so he continued to move forward.

Not long after this journey, Ma Yun's hand touched something on the side of the cliff, and when he looked closely, he found that it was a dry gourd, connected to a dry gourd vine, and the gourd vine hung down from the cliff, but unfortunately he could only see two meters away, and he didn't know how high the gourd vine hung down.

The dry gourd hung more than a meter above the ground, and it was very large, about a foot high, and it was very well-proportioned and round. It's just that there is an egg-sized hole in the upper belly of the gourd, which is facing him outward, which makes the originally good-looking gourd have some more flaws.

The moment he saw the gourd, another object flashed in Ma Yun's mind: a container for water. Although there was a hole in the upper belly of the gourd, the rest of the gourd seemed to be intact, and it was best used to hold water.

Ma Yun stretched out his hand to pluck the gourd from the vine, but although the vine seemed to have dried up for a long time, he didn't break it when he pulled it hard.

"Oh, the fiber quality of this gourd vine is good, it's all dry like this, and it's still tough!" So he changed to pull it with both hands, but it still didn't break. Ma Yun was surprised that a dry and broken vine was so tough. However, we have the knowledge and strength, holding the waist of the gourd with one hand, and the withered vine above the mouth of the gourd with the other, and folding it down hard, the withered vine at the top was indeed bent down and pasted on the surface of the gourd, but it was still rigidly connected to the mouth of the gourd.

Bend once, bend twice...... Ten times...... Twenty times, Ma Yun quickly bent more than twenty times in one breath, the withered vine was still dead on the mouth of the gourd, and there was no change in the slightest, the dry vine skin was still the same as before, only a few cracks, and there was no increase at all.

"It seems that this method doesn't work!" Ma Yun looked at the gourd, helpless for a while. Suddenly, he remembered the small pieces of iron in the cloth bag, one was wood, the other was gold, under the sharp gold, the small wooden vine could still be cut? But when the iron piece was cut on the dead vine but did not leave a trace, Ma Yun was completely dumbfounded.

"This must be an old vine that has become fine for ten thousand years, otherwise how can it be so tough......" Ma Yun couldn't help but look up at the withered vine that was stuck to the rock wall and submerged in the fog.

"Since this vine is so tough, why not climb up this vine and have a look, just climb a few meters high, maybe you will find something. ”

After paying attention, he placed the package on the ground, held the old vine with both hands, and put his feet on the cliff face, and began the climb in a standard climbing position. One step, two steps, just climbed up less than a meter, Ma Yun suddenly felt that the old vine he was holding had no pull, and before he could react, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, fortunately it was not high from the ground, and there was soft soil and weeds on the ground, and there was no harm in this fall, but the butt happened to sit on the gourd and squeezed the pain.

Before he could stand up, something fell from the fog above and smashed on Ma Yun's body, it was a small tree with sparse branches and leaves of about one meter, and the roots of the small tree were still moist with soil, which was obviously uprooted by someone, and on one of the branches of the small tree, there was a dry rattan wrapped around it, which was the rattan of the gourd.

Now Ma Yun understands that the gourd with rattan probably fell from a high place here, and one end of the gourd vine was entangled in the small tree on the cliff wall, and only the gourd hung down. It's just that the little tree on the cliff couldn't bear his weight, and he dragged it off the cliff by the roots.

The gourd vine was just entangled in the small tree, and Ma Yun untied it from the small tree in a few clicks. At a cursory glance, the gourd vine can be about seven or eight meters long, although it can't be taken off the gourd, it is also very light and tough, and it still has some uses for staying on the gourd. Ma Yun picked up the gourd and looked at it carefully, feeling that except for the brighter color of the gourd he had seen before, there was no difference in other places.

Shaking it gently, there was a crisp crashing sound from the gourd, and the gourd was turned upside down and shook it a few times, and three shriveled blue-black seeds the size of peanuts poured out of the hole, which should be gourd seeds. Ma Yun looked at the gourd seeds, and with a thought, he dug three small pits in the ground and buried the three seeds in them. When he saw the small tree that had fallen to the ground, he dug a larger pit with a small piece of iron and buried the small tree in it.

"It's a pity that there is no water, so I can't water you, and it will depend on your creation in the future!" wrapped the gourd vine around his waist a few times, the gourd just hung on his waist, and packed up the package, Ma Yun touched the cliff and continued to move forward.
