Chapter 24: Coexistence
Walking into the cave, it was pitch black all around, Shi Ying took out her mobile phone and swept around, and then there was a faint light, she found that although the entrance of the cave was not big, the cave seemed to be the size of a room, and it was very high, people couldn't touch the top with their hands when they stood up, and there were gaps on the top of the cave, which were caused by the fracture of the rock like a canopy, and the thick layer of the ground was the dead branches and leaves that were blown in by the wind.
Yun Dong stood at the entrance of the cave, looked out, listened attentively, did not find any movement, reached out and took out the military cotton blanket from the backpack, stuffed the four corners in the gap of the rock at the entrance of the cave, hung it at the entrance of the cave, and pressed it with a few stones, this blanket is made of nanomaterials, warm, rain, and light, so that when hung up, the light in the cave cannot be seen outside. After doing this, Yun Dong pulled out the tiger's teeth from the scabbard, gathered the dead grass on the ground into a pile, unscrewed the handle of the tiger's teeth, took out two flints from it, hit it twice, splashed sparks, ignited the dead grass and leaves, the fire slowly jumped, and the hole gradually lit up.
Seeing the bright light, Shi Ying became happy, because people would be very depressed and panicked after staying in the dark for a long time. Yun Dong gathered the other dead grass in the cave, put it aside, then put down his bags and did it.
Shi Ying did the same, put down the bags on her body, and sat on the ground, her body relaxed, and then she felt that the muscles in her body began to swell and pain, which was caused by continuous tension and long-term fast walking, she began to feel very tired, the soles of her feet hurt like a heart, and her mouth couldn't help but "sigh", with a painful expression on her face.
Yun Dong knew that this must be the soles of his feet coming out of the blisters, he smiled, unscrewed the lid behind the tiger's teeth, and took out three small bottles from the hilt, one compass, and the other two flints.
"Come, give me your feet." Yun Dong said.
"Huh?" Shi Ying didn't understand what he meant, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"Oh, I'll treat you, and you'll be fine tomorrow."
"Oh," Shi Ying understood what he meant, looked at Yun Dong, his face suddenly turned red, embarrassed to prop his hands behind his back, slowly raised one foot, and handed it to Yun Dong.
Yun Dong did not hesitate, reached out to support her feet, put them on his thighs, untied the shoelaces, slowly loosened, took off the military boots, and then carefully took off the socks, the white and fine lubricated skin was exposed, and then the whole feet, and there were a few crystal blisters hanging on the originally delicate and delicate feet at this time.
"Fortunately, it didn't break, but it will break after a little more walking, and it will hurt even more." Yun Dong said as he held the beautiful little foot with his hand.
Shi Ying said "ah", and quickly bit his lower lip with his teeth, restraining himself from making a sound, but his face became even redder like a big red cloth, and the numb feeling on the soles of his feet was transmitted to his heart like an electric current, and his heart jumped into one, and the muscles on his calves and soles were tense and hard.
"Don't be nervous, relax." Yun Dong let go of the hand that grabbed the soles of his feet first, and smiled at Shi Ying, and sure enough, Shi Ying's tight feet slackened a little.
Yun Dong reached out and pulled a steel needle from the gauntlet on his left wrist, and held her little foot with his hand again, at this time, Shi Ying's nervousness decreased, his face was still blushing, his eyes were closed, and he didn't dare to look at Yun Dong.
Yun Dong moved quickly, picked out the shiny blisters, squeezed out the water inside, picked up a bottle, used a steel needle to pluck a little medicinal powder, poured it from the broken opening, and then concocted the same method, dealt with the blisters on both feet, Yun Dong wanted to put on socks for her, Shi Ying sat up straight in a hurry, and said in a panic: "I'll wear it myself, wear it myself." ”
Yun Dong began to pack up the small bottles, Shi Ying put on his shoes and socks, thinking about the embarrassing scene just now, but deliberately avoided these in his mouth, looked at Yun Dong and asked, "Brother Yun, what kind of medicinal powder are those?" ”
Yun Dong said: "They are all used in daily life, one is to repel mosquitoes, flies, snakes and insects, the other is to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, and there is Yunnan Baiyao, which has a life-saving pill." ”
These things are the most basic and necessary things that Yundong carries with him.
Shi Ying opened his eyes and secretly admired his carefulness.
At this time, Yun Dong took out mineral water and compressed biscuits from his backpack and handed them to Shi Ying.
"Eat something, then hurry up and rest and sleep, I'll keep vigil, and we'll have to leave tomorrow before the sun dawns."
"Brother Yun, you haven't slept well in the past two days, you can sleep first, and I'll keep vigil." Shi Ying was worried about Yun Dong's body, in the past two days and two nights, Yun Dong only slept in the car for less than two hours.
"No, I'm used to it, I'll just meditate in a while." Yun Dong was afraid that she was worried and comforted.
The two of them ate something, roasted around the fire, the warmth was melting, exhaustion filled Shi Ying's whole body, she felt that there was no trace of strength in her body, she wanted to talk to Yun Dong, but her eyelids couldn't stop fighting, she couldn't resist it, and she slowly softened, and she fell asleep next to the fire, and the firelight reflected her beautiful face, red and fluttering, bright and moving.
Seeing that Shi Ying fell asleep, Yun Dong walked to the entrance of the cave and sat down, leaning against the rock wall, listening to the sound outside the cave, except for the whistling sound of the mountain wind passing through the canyon and the rustling sound of the pine waves, there was no other movement, he sat cross-legged at this time, his eyes were lowered, and his heart was upward, like a monk who had attained the Tao to meditate, snorting and spitting, slow and long, and only Shi Ying's subtle coquettish sound and the slight crackling sound of the dead branches burning, this cave seemed so quiet and serene.
I don't know how long she slept, Shi Ying suddenly felt someone gently push her twice, and a low call came from her ears: "Shi Ying, wake up, it's time for us to go." ”
Shi Ying opened his hazy sleepy eyes and looked around, but what he saw was pitch black, only the sound of gentle breathing beside him.
"Brother Yun."
"Hmm."
Hearing this familiar voice, Shi Ying lost his fear of darkness.
"What time is it?" Shi Ying asked in a low voice.
"Four o'clock in the morning." Yun Dong replied in the dark.
"Shall we leave now?"
"Yes, if we don't move now, they will take advantage of the situation before dawn, ambush the snipers, and control the area, and then we will be in the scope, so we must set off before dawn and get out of the range of their sniper rifles."
After listening to his analysis and prediction, Shi Ying admired his cautious thinking more sincerely, and quickly got up, touched the dark, and sorted out his bags, and in this process, Shi Ying felt that there was no pain in his feet, and he touched it with his hand, and there was no strange feeling at all, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
They finally checked the little light on their phones that were running out to make sure that nothing had been left behind, and then they slowly and carefully felt out of the cave.
They descended back to the bottom of the valley and continued along the canyon, they could not walk the ridge, as that would most likely meet them head-on.
In this way, they groped in the dark, along the cliffs, through the strange rocky canyons, and walked nearly 5 kilometers in one breath, a distance they walked for nearly an hour.
At this time, a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, lighting up a corner of the sky, and gradually enlarged and brightened, and the sky slowly turned from black to gray, and then began to gradually turn blue.
Yun Dong stopped and turned to look back, the peak they stayed on last night had been left behind, and now that they were in a position that was out of the sniper range of the M82A1, they were safe for the time being.
"Okay, now that we're safe, find a place, wash our faces, eat something, and rest for a while before we go."
The most indispensable thing in Wugong Mountain is water, there is abundant water here, mountain springs, hot springs, waterfalls, and streams can be seen everywhere, which also makes the whole mountain forest dense, meadows, clouds and mountains and fog, and dew hits people.
After turning a corner, it was still a deep canyon, a crystal clear stream twisted and turned, the stream was murmuring, and in the distance was a cliff, on which a column of water rushed down, and below was a large pool, which was also crystal clear. The weather has been fine these days, and there has been no rain, so the water flow is not large, and the spectacular waterfall scenery has not been formed, and there is no road ahead.
