Chapter Fifty-Nine: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone
Lu Xun, who climbed to the top of the tree, quickly determined the direction of the mountains in front of him, but Lu Xun was very surprised by the result, his group originally walked south to the southern mountains, but after following the instructor here, the current crowd turned out to be facing the west, and the mountains were also exactly in the west. The instructor did make them dizzy, and it was absolutely impossible to return the way they came.
Although surprised, Yang Yang and the others did not waste time, now that the location was determined, everything was logical. After Mu Dongqiang left a mark in this place, several people walked together in the direction of the mountains.
As the saying goes, "looking at the mountains and running dead horses", Yang Yang and the others who walked towards the mountains now really understand the meaning of this sentence. Although the mountains in front of him don't seem to be close at hand, they are also very close at a glance, but it seems that the distance is so close that Yang Yang and the others walked for more than two hours.
It was already noon when Yang Yang and the others walked to the foot of the mountain, and after a morning of climbing over the mountains and mountains, several people were tired and hungry at this time. It was time to eat, but the instructor didn't allow them to bring any food when they went out, thinking of this, Xue Kai and Lu Xun went around to see if they could meet hares or wild fruits, even if they didn't eat well, it was good to fill their stomachs a little.
The trees here are thick, and Xue Kai and Lu Xun must not be too far away if they are looking for food, but an hour has passed, and the two still haven't returned. Yang Yang had been waiting for the two to come back, but found that the two had disappeared as if out of thin air, which aroused Yang Yang's vigilance. Xue Kai and Lu Xun will definitely not leave the three of them and go to find a way out by themselves, now that they have not come back after so long, what does this mean?
Thinking of this, Yang Yang began to realize that Xue Kai and Lu Xun might be in trouble! In such a forest, although there are no fierce beasts, some small animals such as poisonous snakes and poisonous insects can also be fatal! Yang Yang stood up and told Mu Dongqiang and Wu Haoyu to wait in place, and he walked all the way forward following the marks left by Xue Kai and Lu Xun.
However, what Yang Yang didn't expect was that Wu Haoyu secretly followed him.
Yang Yang, who had already walked far away, looked at Wu Haoyu who appeared behind him, and smiled bitterly and was moved. Yang Yang knew that no matter whether Wu Haoyu was worried about himself or Xue Kai and Lu Xun, now Wu Haoyu had regarded their group of people as an indispensable part, and this feeling was also worth touching. Moreover, if Mu Dongqiang waits in place alone, there will be no problems, although it is airtight, it is relatively empty, and it is easier to deal with some emergencies.
Yang Yang and Wu Haoyu walked all the way forward along the mark, and the scenery in the mountains opened Yang Yang and Wu Haoyu's eyes, and many trees that they had never seen before stood in it, especially the occasional olive and palm fruit, which made Yang Yang and Wu Haoyu think that they had come to the southern country.
Yang Yang was surprised to find that the climate in the mountains was very different from the outside, and even the mountains had become an independent ecosystem. Strictly speaking, the mountains have a tropical rainforest climate. This discovery shocked Yang Yang, he didn't expect that there was such an environment in the north, he had lived in Yunhai City for more than ten years, and he had never known that there was such a place, and now he was just a frog at the bottom of a well in Yunhai City.
While Yang Yang was shocked, he thought of another thing that worried him. The most significant feature of the tropical rainforest climate is the convective rain formed by the air current, at about 1 o'clock every noon, there will be a rain due to the convection of hot and cold air, although the rain will not last for a long time, but the amount of precipitation is quite considerable, if that is the case, Xue Kai left a mark he must not be able to find!
It stands to reason that the last thing that is lacking in the rainforest climate is food, and even olives and palms can be eaten as food if they are really needed, because both fruits contain a lot of glucose. Therefore, it will definitely not take long for Xue Kai and Lu Xun to find food, but it is strange that they have not returned the same way so far. However, Yang Yang knew that now was not the time to think about this issue, and the top priority was to follow the mark left by Xue Kai and find the two of them.
However, the disaster is not a one-way street, and within ten minutes of Yang Yang's worry, it happened, and convective rain fell in the sky.
The forest covered by the canopy of trees was already underlit, but now it was raining, and the forest became directly at night, black and rumbling. Xue Kai used the arrows of the stones to make the mark, although the rain did not directly wash the ground, but the stream that followed, still washed the stones in all directions, and the whole mark became incomplete, and sometimes there were even arrows pointing backwards.
Obviously, in this environment, the plan to find Xue Kai through the mark was also declared bankrupt. For the first time, Yang Yang felt so helpless in life, and even when he missed a subject, he didn't feel this way. In desperation, Yang Yang had no choice but to go back, first meet with Mu Dongqiang and then discuss how to deal with it.
Snakes like to come out before it rains, which doesn't mean they will come home after the rain. Rats will come out of their holes on rainy days, which is the main reason why snakes don't like to come out on rainy days.
The reason why I say this is to emphasize the reason for Wu Haoyu's injury. Yes, unfortunately, Wu Haoyu was bitten on the arm by a snake.
Wu Haoyu felt very unlucky, he just saw that it was raining, and wanted to break a branch on the tree to keep out the rain, but he didn't expect to catch it not a branch, but a small flower snake.
Yang Yang and Wu Haoyu are not afraid of snakes.
It is said that there are three types of human fear of snakes, one is to dare to look and dare to touch, the second is to dare to look and dare not touch, and the third is not to look and even more dare not touch. The reason why humans have a fear of snakes is that some people feel that it is because of their appearance, and the sinuous body forms a sensory stimulation for people. However, scientists have boldly predicted that from the perspective of evolution, in ancient times, the ancestors of these people were bitten by snakes, and over time, these people formed a fear of snakes gene, which has been passed down to the present. Of course, although none of the words of the brick family in the same profession as them are credible, such as melamine is harmless to humans. For now, however, the prophecy of this evolutionary theory is quite convincing.
After Wu Haoyu was bitten by a snake, he immediately screamed and threw aside the snake wrapped around his wrist.
If the snake is not venomous, it will not be a big deal to be bitten, but the wound will hurt for a while, which is certain, after all, it will hurt for half a day if you are pricked by a needle, right?
This snake is not very venomous.
If the snake is poisonous, Wu Haoyu will already have braids. If the snake is not venomous, it will not be a serious problem just by biting the arm. But now, Wu Haoyu's bitten arm has swollen into a thigh, which looks like a baked white-flour steamed bun.
