Chapter Twenty-Six: To the Top of the Rock Wall
"Oops!" Karui hurriedly cleaned up, but fortunately he reacted in time, only a small part of the porridge in the pot had overflowed, and most of it was still sitting quietly in the pot. www.biquge.info Although Wright wanted to go up and help, he didn't know what to do. The moment the porridge overflowed, Da Hei had already jumped up nimbly and hid to the side.
With a spoon of porridge, Karui handed it to Wright, who quickly took it and held it in his hand. There was also a bowl for Dahei, and Karui himself served a bowl.
"Eat, you're welcome!" Wright was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and the porridge was extraordinarily fragrant, and it was a matter of etiquette to endure not eating, after all, the master hadn't started yet. Hearing Karui's words, Wright stopped being reserved and snorted. The porridge was cooked to the core, the rice melted in his mouth, and Karui didn't know what was added to it, and the various flavors mixed together violently stimulated Wright's taste buds.
When Wright finished drinking a bowl of porridge, Karui hadn't drunk half of his bowl of porridge, but Da Hei and Lai's unique fight had already been drunk. Karui refilled the bowl for the two foodies, and Wright slowed down and followed Kaw's example to taste it one bite at a time.
"The young man is not from the mountains, is he?"
Wright was stunned when he heard this, "Why does the old man ask that?"
"You know by your outfit that you don't often wander in the mountains, and with all these things you carry, you won't survive for more than a few days in this forest. ”
Wright hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to hide something, "I was going home, but I didn't know what happened and I ran here!"
At this point, Karui knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he stopped asking. For a while, neither of them had the intention of speaking, and the scene was deserted. Suddenly, the silence was broken by two barks, and it turned out that Da Hei had finished drinking again, shouting for the master to bring another bowl.
"Grandpa, what kind of place is this?, are there any nearby cities or something?" finally met a living person, and Wright finally had a chance to ask the question that was most important to his heart. As long as you can go to the city and find the branch of the Wizards' Guild, you will be able to spread the news back to the school. That way, Grandpa Ayres would know that he was safe.
"This is the Sunset Mountains in the western part of the kingdom, and the nearest city is hundreds of miles away. Well, you can't be alone in the mountains, and follow me back to the village, where we are going to go to the city recently. You can be safer if you move with our large army. ”
Wright heard that he had suddenly run to the west of the kingdom, and his mouth could not close in surprise. You know, the city of Lunders is in the southeast corner of the kingdom, and it is too far away. Glancing at the package he was carrying, Wright suddenly felt that the old man's words made sense, in this vast mountain, it was indeed unrealistic to expect him to find a city hundreds of miles away by himself.
"What is the old man doing here?" Now that he has made up his mind to follow Karui, he naturally has to be concerned.
"I need a lot of medicine, and it's only on the rock face deep in the forest. Karui thought for a moment, and then looked at the big black dog lying on the ground, "Why don't I let the big black take you back to the village first, there is still some distance from the rock wall, and it will take a few more days to go back and forth, the big black walks in the mountains all year round, and it knows how to go back to the village." ”
Wright shook his head, "It's okay, I'm also very interested in this rock wall, I'll come with you! Besides, I'm just going back to the village, don't I have to wait for you to set off together?"
Karui was the organizer of the team out of the village this time, and if Karui didn't go back, the team wouldn't leave the village. In this way, even if Wright arrived in the village first, he would still be waiting in the village. Thinking of this, Karui no longer insisted on it.
After breakfast, Karui packed up all the utensils and other things, packed his bags, and carried them on his back. Wright saw that he volunteered to carry it for Kalu, but he didn't expect it to be on his back, but sadly found that he couldn't carry it. It doesn't seem like there's much, and Karui is carrying it so easily, so why does it feel so heavy when he gets to himself!
"Hahaha, take it, I got your heart. Don't look at my age, but my strength hasn't diminished. The mountain people carry heavy loads all year round, and this weight is easy for me. Taking the bag from Wright's hand, Karui slung it on his back with ease.
Once a fire breaks out in a mountain forest, even a small source of fire can quickly spread into a huge forest fire. If not stopped in time, the flames will consume all the connected forests. At that time, the entire forest will cease to exist. If you want to restore the status quo ante, it is impossible to do so without tens or hundreds of years.
Therefore, mountain people will be very careful when entering the forest, and try not to leave a single spark. After Karoo had extinguished the fire, he dug up some damp soil from the side and covered the place where the fire had been lit tightly. Finally, he stomped the soil with his feet until there was no trace of smoke coming out.
When Wright walks alone in the forest, he always feels that the lush plants in the forest are annoying, and from time to time there are branches of various plants in front of him. And when you go with Karui, it feels very different, and those annoying plants seem to be avoiding Karui, and it feels smooth along the way.
It took most of the day for the two of them and a dog to finally reach the top of the rock wall. Karui pulled out a coil of rope from his backpack, the rope was thick and looked like it had been used for many years, and in some places it was smooth. Finding a large tree of moderate thickness, Karui fastened a section of rope to the tree and threw the rest of the rope down the rock wall.
From the top of the rock wall, you can see as if you are looking down from the sky, and the scenery below is almost invisible, except for the continuous green and unknown wildflowers fluttering in the wind on the rock wall. Wright just glanced at it and didn't dare to look down, if a person at this height fell, unless he was particularly lucky, he would hardly have a chance to survive. Karui didn't care, the rock wall had been trampled under his feet countless times in his past years.
Wrapping the rope around his waist a few times, Karui stood on the edge of the rock wall, "After I finish collecting the medicine, I will go down directly to the bottom, you and Dahei will wait for me above, and I will come up to you and go back to the village together." ”
Wallow nodded and agreed, and explained the matter, and Karui did not stay any longer, and went down the rock wall. Wright watched from above, and Karui was like a monkey, kicking lightly each time, and then sliding down some distance. Slowly, Karui's figure grew smaller and smaller, until finally, only a large black dot could be seen.
