Chapter 2 Long Right
Mosen is tall and wooded, and the grass and trees are luxuriant. The big trees that the two of them can hold around abound, vines wrapping around the trees and extending upwards, moss and green marks on the ground, damp and muddy.
Old Man Qu walked at the front of the line, carefully testing the reality of the ground, and only after he was sure that it was safe did everyone follow in turn. Despite their caution, they were able to move quickly through the forest.
Zhenglian is agile and has been borrowing vines to jump between trees, like an ape.
After walking like this for about two hours, Zhiyou gradually felt that she was showing that she was not physically exhausted, and she was already out of breath, and she endured fatigue and followed the team. Seeing Zhiyou in such a state, Tong Jun silently slowed down his pace and stayed behind Zhiyou.
Zhiyou looks like a beautiful lady, it seems that she has been pampered since she was a child, and it is not easy for the young lady who is held in her hands by her family to persist until now.
Old Man Qu looked back and saw Zhiyou's state, and suggested that everyone take a break. Zhenglian was very dissatisfied, sat on the tree and said: "I can't bear it after only walking such a little distance, do we all have to slow down the future trip because of you?"
Zhiyou's cheeks were slightly red, and she said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'll try not to drag everyone back." ”
Ji Ling sat on the ground and asked with a puzzled expression: "Sister Zhiyou, I see that your physical fitness is not very good, and you should pay attention to physical improvement in your martial arts cultivation in the future." ”
Zhiyou said lightly: "Ah...... That one...... I don't know martial arts, I don't practice, I'm just a mortal. ”
"What?!" Zhenglian jumped up from the tree when he heard Zhiyou's words, and shouted: "Even if a martial artist passes through Mosen, it is more auspicious than lucky, and you are still trying to pass through a mere mortal?
Zhiyou was even more embarrassed, buried her head in the hat of the cloak, and whispered, "I'm sorry ......"
Bai Xin sat next to Zhiyou, glanced at Zhenglian, and said, "Zhenglian, you are too much! Mo Sen can enter anyone, why can't Sister Zhiyou be in the team? And you can't say it too early, you know that it's her and not you who are holding everyone back?"
Zhenglian rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, I forgot about you, and you are the one who is holding you back! What are you all thinking? Do you take life as a child's play? Do you dare to break into Mosen with this kind of three-legged cat kung fu? When the time comes, it will not be you alone, but all of us! While you haven't gone deep yet, it's still too late to turn back, you two should go back to southern Xinjiang together!"
Bai Xin jumped up directly when he heard Zhenglian's words, and opened his mouth to quarrel with Zhenglian! Old man Qu stepped in front of Bai Xin and said, "Shhhhh
Everyone was silent and listened carefully to the sounds around them. In the silence of the forest, there was a sound of "oops~oops~" in the distance, like a child moaning in pain.
"What kind of sound is this, how can there be children in the forest?"
Zhenglian lightly jumped on the branch, quickly climbed to the top of the tree, and stood on the branch looking in the direction of the sound. Through the cracks in the dense canopy, he saw a brown macaque squatting on a tree not far away, picking fruit and looking into the distance. The moaning body of "oops~" and "oops~" came out of its mouth.
"It's just a macaque, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Zhenglian shouted down. "Don't make a fuss, it's just a little weird!"
"Little brother Zhenglian, don't hurry down, do the old man a favor!" Old man Qu shouted towards the tree.
"What's the busy?"
"Would you please take a closer look at how many ears this macaque has?"
Standing at the top of the tree, with his right hand on his forehead, he looked carefully at the little macaque in the tree in the distance. The macaque is grabbing its gills to eat, with a round head and two pointed triangular ears on the left and right. "Four! This macaque is weird, it has four ears!" Zhenglian said.
"Thank you Brother Zhenglian, come down quickly!" Old Man Qu called Zhenglian down the tree, turned around and said backwards: "Sister Zhiyou, can you still walk with physical strength?"
Zhiyou had already stood up, nodded hard, and said, "Well, no problem, let's go." ”
"Okay, everyone, hurry up, there's a small hill ahead, let's hurry to the mountain! Just spend the night on that hill tonight! Go to the heights!" Old man Qu looked very anxious and urged everyone to hurry up.
"Why?" asked Ling in confusion.
"That's right, Master Qu, why do you suddenly want to go up the mountain, that's not the closest way. Moreover, climbing the mountain is very physically demanding, and it is not easy to hide from high places, so it is easy to become a target for attack. Feng Lun also asked suspiciously.
Old Man Qu had already set off with Zhiyou and said, "The macaque just now is not an ordinary macaque, it is called Changyou. It resembles a macaque with four ears and a cry like a baby's moaning, and wherever it appears, there will be a great flood! Fortunately, we have met it, so we quickly find a high place to take refuge. ”
Zhenglian looked incredulous: "Is it really fake? The weather is so good at the moment, and there is no heavy rain, how can there be a flood?"
"Yes, Master Qu, are you too careful?" Feng Lun also asked suspiciously.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Old Man Qu shook his head helplessly and said, "I'd rather believe it." There's always a good thing to be careful in Mosen. ”
Bai Xin also agreed: "I think what Old Man Qu said is right, anyway, we have to find a place to rest, let's go up the mountain." ”
Zhenglian said: "I think you and Zhiyou are tired, right? You two waste! We can still catch up for at least an hour!"
"What are you talking about!" Bai Xin began to yell at Zhenglian again.
"Don't quarrel anymore between the two young heroes!" Old Man Qu turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, believe the old man this time." ”
Since Old Man Qu said so, it was not good to refuse him directly, so they all followed behind and climbed the hill that Old Man Qu said.
The hill is neither tall nor short, but it's enough to see the lush treetops and the vast forest in full view.
The sky gradually darkened, and after everyone reached the top of the mountain, they found a clearing, and a few people looked for firewood and made a fire, intending to rest.
Suddenly a rumbling sound was heard in the distance! The people immediately put down what they were doing, and stood up one after another to look in the direction of the loud noise.
By the light of the moon, which was slowly white, they saw a huge yellow-white wave rushing in the distance! In an instant, it swallowed up a large number of trees, mixed with gravel and earth, and immediately after the sound in the distance came out, it rushed to their eyes, and the water waves swelled, and it was really wild! The water rushing around them soon surrounded the hill! The sound of gurgling water shook through the valley, and the surging momentum seemed to kill the sky. The water mixed with countless dirt was orange-yellow, rolling up the broken trees, and there were many struggling animals, and they rushed into the hill in a frenzy, and the majestic sound was like thunder splitting, and the waves were surging over the rocks.
Everyone felt that the ground shook slightly, and the scene in front of them was so magnificent that even the little monkey who had been sleeping heavily on Bai Xin's body looked at it with wide eyes.
The flood was mighty, cold as jade, rolling like a string. Everyone looked at the spectacular scene in front of them, and suddenly they were afraid.
Old Man Qu took a long breath and said, "Fortunately, we met Changyou, which gave us time to escape here, otherwise we would not have been able to escape this level of flood." ”
Aoki looked at the rushing water, and said to the old man: "Actually, we should thank you!"
Old Man Qu smiled slightly and said, "It's not enough to worry about." ”
Feng Lun asked puzzledly: "There is no sign of heavy rain, how did such a flood come from?"
"It must have been a torrential rain upstream, the river was swollen, and the river burst its banks. Bai Xin hugged the little monkey, and he was afraid for a while.
Old man Qu said: "It may be, but at least we are safe for now, just let everyone clean up and have a good rest." Such a flood comes and goes quickly, and I hope it will pass sooner. ”
It was completely dark, and everyone gathered around the fire, surrounded by rumbling floodwaters. Senior Brother and Sister Ling stood aside and chatted about the floodwaters flowing by. Zhiyou lowered her head with a worried face. Feng Lun took out a piece of dry food from the luggage behind him and ate it silently. Aoki remained silent, quietly watching the fire.
Bai Xin sat beside Tong Jun and said to Tong Jun with a smile: "Your grandfather is so powerful." ”
Tong Jun nodded lightly and said, "Hmm." And then there was silence.
Bai Xin was a little embarrassed, took out some dry food, and gave Tong Jun a piece, Tong Jun still said very lightly: "Thank you." He took the food and ate it. Bai Xin sighed that Tong Jun really couldn't communicate, so he also broke the dry food and shared it with Qinglong.
The flood kept rolling in, and it did not weaken until the second half of the night, and Feng Lun and Aoki were responsible for keeping vigil to prevent wild beasts from hiding in the flood. Then Ling and Ting took over and continued to guard until dawn.
