Following.
In the early morning, a large amount of pale white mist wafted in the forest, and the morning sun sprinkled the earth through these mist, covering the forest with a layer of yellowish warm light. Crystal clear dew slid down the trees and grass, but it still didn't take away the smell of grass that permeated the air. Birds chirped on the branches and began the day's journey to catch insects in the morning.
When a ray of sunlight shone straight on Shen Nong's face, he woke up from his dream in a daze, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, looking around, thinking a little sluggishly about how he could be here, about two or three blinks of time passed, and he recalled yesterday's events in his mind.
"I slept on the spot for a night after I was full. Shen Nong struggled to get up from the ground, because he slept on the cold ground all night, and the forest was relatively wet and cold in the early morning, his whole body was secretly cold, and his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble, but fortunately, the bearskin beast clothes he was wearing could still bring some warmth to Shen Nong, so that he would not freeze to the point of cold.
"Ahh
Near everyone's location, a white wolf curled up and guarded beside him, looking like a ball of white meat from a distance, it looked very warm. When Shen Nong stood up, the white wolf closest to him suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, and the two green wolf eyes stared at Shen Nong coldly, with a very hideous expression.
Shen Nong ignored it, anyway, Luo Man was so close to him, if this white wolf dared to show the slightest wrong move, he would immediately wake up Luo Man.
The ancient tree where the white wolf's lair is located is extremely large, and Shen Nong hadn't seen the specific shape clearly when the light was dark last night, but now it was the sun rising, and with the help of the sun, he couldn't help but admire the ancient tree at this moment.
In this primeval forest, tall giant trees abound, but like the one in front of Shen Nong's eyes, the body of the tree is completely rotten, and even the ancient tree whose heart has been hollowed out can still maintain the state of standing on the ground without toppling, which is really rare.
You must know that the reason why trees can grow so tall is because the trunk is supported underneath, and once the trunk can no longer hold up, the whole tree will easily collapse and finally turn into a horizontal hollow dead wood on the ground.
Not long after Shen Nong woke up, Chi, Shaohao, Shi Li, and Luo Man also woke up from their sleep one after another, Shaohao looked up at the already bright sky, his face suddenly changed, and he got up very anxiously and said: "Hurry up, we should go back, the clansmen must still be waiting for us at the foot of the Black Mountain Mountain." ”
Shen Nong yawned: "Don't worry, Chi can't move, and you can't let Shi Li go by himself like this." ”
"Then what should I do, Wu. Shao Hao couldn't help but ask.
"I'll let the white wolf carry you on his back. Luo Man said.
"It's okay, I have a way. Shen Nong shook his head, he didn't worry about a cunning beast like a wolf, if it weren't for Luo Man's presence, these white wolves would definitely rush up and eat them as soon as possible.
I saw Shen Nong pick up his bone spear and bone knife, and walked towards a bush nearby, those white wolves saw Shen Nong coming over with a knife, and they all bowed their backs vigilantly and stared at Shen Nong, the hair on their backs all stood up like needles, and their sharp claws quickly extended out of their palms.
"Whew!" Seeing this, Luo Man shouted directly in wolf language, and those white wolves suddenly became honest, obediently lying on the ground and watching Shen Nong walk towards the bushes.
With the experience of being almost captured by the giant ape last time, Shen Nong was a lot more careful when he approached the bushes this time, only to see him stab a few times into the bushes with a bone spear, and after making sure that there was nothing hidden inside, Shen Nong started his own action.
First of all, he cut off all the black vines from the bushes, and cut out four branches as tall as adults, all two fingers thick, and they looked relatively strong. After doing all this, Shen Nong carried the four wooden branches and returned to everyone with a large bundle of black vines.
However, Chi and the others didn't understand what he was going to do when he got these things, so they had to look at Shen Nong with puzzled eyes, hoping that he could give an explanation.
"I'm going to make two stretchers that can be used to drag, so that we can easily drag them by putting Chi and Shi Li on top of the stretcher, Luo Man, do you have two extra animal skins?" Shen Nong asked.
"Yes, I'll go get it. Luo Man nodded, then walked into the tree hole, and soon ran out again, but there were two more pieces of pure white fur on his hands.
Shen Nong put the two wooden branches together and knocked them, then one for Shao Hao to hold, and the other in his hand, his free hand picked up a black vine on the ground, first tied a dead knot on the wooden branch in his hand, and then tied the other end of the black vine to the wooden branch in Shao Hao's hand, which was also a dead knot. In this way, the two branches are connected by a black vine.
As concocted, Shen Nong tied a total of eight black vines on the two wooden branches, so that the prototype of a simple stretcher was initially reached, and as Shen Nong took a piece of animal skin handed over by Luo Man and spread it on this prototype, the stretcher was officially formed. As long as a black rattan is tied to one end of the stretcher, others can rely on the black rattan to drag the stretcher to achieve the effect of moving the wounded.
Soon, Shen Nong finished the second stretcher, and he assisted Shao Hao in moving Chi and Shi Li's bodies to the two stretchers, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Are you leaving now?" Luo Man asked with some regret, he hadn't met a similar person who could talk to him for a long time, and he didn't expect the other party to leave so soon. ”
Years of wandering alone alone made Luo Man very vigilant, and it was precisely like this, after he saw the injured Shi Li, out of witch instinct, he would choose to help the other party stop the bleeding, but because of the vigilance he had cultivated over the years, he subconsciously wanted to drive Shi Li out of his territory for the first time. But with the arrival of Shen Nong and the others, his lonely heart finally came into contact with popularity, and he was eager to feel the excitement, so he chose to invite Shen Nong and others to stay overnight and have dinner with him. But there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, after the carnival is parting, Shen Nong and the four have their own tribe, they must go back, it is impossible to stay in this desolate and full of white wolves for a long time.
"That's right. Shen Nong nodded and said, "Do you want to come with us?" It's not interesting to see you stay here alone, so why don't you go and live in our tribe." ”
When everyone heard Shen Nong's words, they all looked at him with incredible eyes, there can only be one witch in each tribe, this is an unwritten rule, because witch symbolizes the right to speak of a tribe, but all kinds of things related to the tribe, the clansmen in the tribe will choose to listen to the opinion of the witch, and once there are two witches, the right to speak will be dispersed, in case the time of the decision of some major events, the two witches each give different opinions, and do not let each other, then the situation will be very troublesome.
And unless the witch in their own tribe dies and no new witch appears, a tribe will choose a witch as the witch in its own tribe in desperation.
Luo Man looked at Shen Nong with some surprise, he was very puzzled why the other party, as a witch of the Huangqiu tribe, would take the initiative to invite him to live in his tribe, was it kind or polite?
No matter what the reason was, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth and emotion in his heart, Shen Nong's invitation made him feel belonging, as if he was no longer a wandering witch wandering the land like a lonely ghost, but an ordinary clansman with a home.
Under the gaze of Chi, Shaohao, and Shi Li, Luo Man couldn't help laughing, laughing very happily, but he still shook his head decisively: "No need, I live here very well, and I'm used to it, these white wolves have been with me for so long, we take care of each other, and I am reluctant to leave them." ”
"Okay, then take care of yourself, I'll ask the tribesmen to bring you some salt and vegetables in a few days, it's not good to eat meat, and if you think a person is boring, you can also go to our tribe to wander around, at least someone can talk to you." Shen Nong waved his hand, bent down to pull up a stretcher, and planned to walk into the forest.
But at this moment, Luo Man stopped him.
"Ah, wait. ”
Shen Nong looked back and saw Luo Man take off a bone whistle with animal tendons from his neck, and then walked up to Shen Nong and handed him the bone whistle.
"Take it, blow it when you are in danger, the white wolf will run to help you when he hears the sound, if there is any danger in your tribe, you can also ask your people to come to me, and I will rush over to help you as soon as possible." Luo Man said solemnly.
Shen Nong glanced at the bone whistle curiously, and he didn't bother to be polite to Luo Man, so he directly reached out and took it, this is a good thing that can summon a white wolf, don't be in vain, it can be regarded as adding a life-saving hole card to his half-hung witch.
After saying goodbye to Luo Man, Shen Nong and Shao Hao left the Gumu area with a stretcher, but fortunately, Shao Hao remembered the direction they came from, so that the two would not get lost in the forest, and they could get out of this forest smoothly.
When Shen Nong and Shi Li dragged Chi and Shi Li out of the forest, the foothills of the Black Mountain in the distance appeared in their eyes, the majestic and tall Black Mountain stood on the earth, the rugged and steep ridge was hidden in the sky and white clouds, and several eagles soared near the mountain peak with their wings open, which was really a magnificent and majestic natural picture.
