Section 1 Escape to the Jungle

After the rain, at first glance, the late autumn in the south is not so bleak, everywhere you can still see patches of green, leaves and weeds, raindrops are slowly dripping, crystal clear, after landing and splashing, by the sun shines, beautiful as a pearl.

Luo Yu stood in front of the tall granite statue of Guanyin, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, such a majestic and solemn statue of Guanyin is really rare, no wonder the name of this mountain was changed to Guanyin Mountain, which is a well-known tourist holy place.

Looking at the time, it was only a quarter past eight in the morning, and it had rained again, at this time, except for a few monks in the temple behind the statue of Guanyin, there were no other pilgrims. On the square of 100 square meters in front of the statue of Guanyin, there are several incense burners in the shape of the finished product, and there are more than a dozen small incense sticks inserted on it, the smoke is misty, and the sandalwood is pervasive, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Luo Yu went to the incense shop in the temple to buy incense candles, knelt on the futon in front of the incense burner, and was about to light incense, when suddenly there was a "pop" sound in his ears, as if something had fallen to the ground, and he was about to raise his eyes to see, but his eyes were as bright as lightning, and then there was boundless darkness.

I don't know how long later, Luo Yu woke up and found himself lying on a two-meter-square flat stone, holding the big backpack he bought when he was traveling in his left hand, and holding the unlit incense in his back hand, the black coat on his body and the sneakers on his feet. I tried to figure out what was going on, and suddenly I felt like a storm raging in my head, a mess, and a splitting headache. Before I had time to see the surroundings clearly, the wind sounded in my ears, and when I looked up, a fat pheasant flew by, with red wings and colorful tails, drawing a colorful phantom, which was beautiful.

The sun rises high, and one or two meters away from the stone is a wide stream, the water is murmuring, the fish leaps and the kites fly, and the green algae by the stream are like grass. After a few more feet, rows of seven or eight people are surrounded by towering ancient trees, and under the trees is a group of leisurely sika deer gnawing on the grass shoots that are inches high; Countless gray-and-white hares are chasing Xixi, appearing and disappearing; There are a lot of squirrels shuttling back and forth on the trunk, and it is a lively scene.

Luo Yu finally got used to the fainting feeling caused by the headache, and reached out to pull his hair, it hurt, it was not a dream! Slowly getting up, at this time, the animals focused their attention on him, perhaps no one had been here, a pair of curious eyes stared at him vigilantly, saw him stand up, scattered and fled, and disappeared in an instant. Luo Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seemed that the idea of catching a hare and having a full meal was in vain, and he turned around and looked back, it was very strange, there were groups of animals over there, but he didn't find any traces of life here. The same jungle, the same environment, it can't be something here that scares them, right?

This place can't stay, it's very dangerous near the water source, not to mention that there are too many unknown creatures in this primeval jungle.

Quickly opened the backpack and checked the contents: a 20,000 mAh power bank, a pack of medical masks, two changes of clothes, a pack of 50 grams of dried chili peppers, three bottles of mineral water, a small loaf of bread, three buckets of instant noodles, a small alcohol stove for field use, two bottles of 100 ml canned alcohol, a bottle of mosquito repellent and two lighters, two packs of Red Star cigarettes, fortunately, there is no shortage of things. The mobile phone is in the pocket of the pants, take it out and press the screen, there is still 98% of the battery left, there is no signal, the time is displayed on October 22, 2022, Saturday, the time is half past eight, the temperature is twelve o'clock and six degrees, turn on the mobile phone positioning, open the map, show no network, sigh, there is a wallet and ID card in the pocket of the jacket, driver's license, all are there. Hurry up and put your phone into airplane mode, now I don't know when it will be charged, and it's good to save a little power.

Luo Yu wants to figure out where he is, looking at this environment, such tall trees, in his impression, only the primeval forest may still exist, and the Jiangnan City where he is located has absolutely no such primeval forest, where is this? What the hell is that lightning-fast white light? Why did you wake up here? I can only find the answer to all this slowly.

Thinking of this, I looked around, as far as the eye could see, it was all dark green, and I didn't know how big this primeval forest was. It's still early, so I put on my backpack, tighten my clothes, jump off the half-meter-high rock, step on the carpet-like slippery green algae, and walk towards the stream. He thought that if he followed the stream downstream, he would definitely be able to get out of this green forest, and if he was still on earth, it stands to reason that there would definitely be people living where there was water.

In such a forest, there are definitely not a few mosquitoes, snakes and ants, Luo Yu smeared all the exposed skin with mosquito repellent, and then tore the green algae from the middle, wrapped it in the pocket of his clothes, picked up a piece of gravel, and smashed it hard, a smell as bad as rotten eggs rushed straight to his head, and he quickly took out his mask and put it on, which made him feel a little better. Coupled with a little mosquito repellent, the smell becomes indescribable, and animals such as snakes and mosquitoes will avoid this smell, protect themselves in order to survive. These knowledge are all learned in the wilderness survival show, Luo Yu is glad that he is a fan of De Ye and Bei Ye, he thought that these things had no chance to practice, he thought it was fun to see it at the beginning, and now it is finally useful, and there is still a little expectation in his heart.

Walking in such a jungle is definitely not the work of a wise man, although the animals are walking on the ground, but looking at the thorn bushes connected like spider webs, it is better not to break into the jungle without a knife. My stomach was already rumbling with hunger, I didn't have time to eat breakfast, I climbed a steep slope for more than an hour, and before I could properly worship the Bodhisattva, I was brought to this uninhabited ghost place.

Alas, what a miserable life! I work in Jiangnan City, take advantage of the weekend, set off early in the morning to Guanyin Mountain to play, maybe I have too many distractions, was heard by Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva was angry and sent himself here, at this time it is useless to think too much, it is the right thing to set off quickly.

Take out a small bread and a bottle of water from your backpack, and pad your stomach first, otherwise how will you have the strength to go down? Instant noodles don't move, and you don't know what else awaits you in front of you, so it's always good to have some reserves. I smeared the mashed seaweed on my trouser legs and sleeves and choked half to death, so I guess I'm not afraid of snakes and ants.

After eating the bread in three or two bites, he washed down his stomach, drank a few more sips of water, burped, put away the bottled water with satisfaction, found the right direction, and explored downstream along the slippery stream.

There are wet algae all the way, and some places can be twenty or thirty centimeters deep, this is Luo Yu's conclusion that he stepped on the protrusion that he thought was safe and then was trapped in it and couldn't pull out his feet, he immediately found a long stick with the thickness of a wine glass in the weeds on the shore, and walked like a blind man, and the shoes on his left foot because of the water, he made a "flutter, flutter" sound when he took a step, which was very dangerous in the dangerous jungle, and he had to stop and rest in a bay road recessed two or three meters in order to consider his own life. Take off your shoes and shake them dry, and then cover your feet with a mask so that the sound of walking will be reduced.

After sitting down, I looked at the time, it was already half past ten, and more than two hours had passed unconsciously, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and the autumn tiger could feel it in this strange place, wiped the sweat on his face, unzipped his clothes, and finally cooled a little, there were many mosquitoes, and he didn't dare to take off his clothes, so he could only stay up.

Except that the fish in the water jumped up from time to time, and there was silence all around, and the stream became wider and wider, and at this time it was already four or five meters wide, which could be called a river. The river is getting more and more turbid, the water is gentle, and the whirlpool of the water indicates that the water will never be calm, and the undercurrent is surging. He picked up a handful of hay from the ground and threw it to the edge of the whirlpool, the hay was immediately inhaled, Luo Yu just wanted to go back to Wandao to rest, a foot-long red-tailed white fish swooped in from the water, with a big mouth open, a mouth full of sharp teeth flashing cold light, one by one to bite Luo Yu.

Luo Yu is still half a meter away from the water's edge, plus a height of one meter seventy-five, but the fish came to the front in the blink of an eye, don't hurriedly raise his hands to block, suddenly felt a strong attack, his hands were a little numb, took a few steps back, unloaded the force, the white fish fell to the ground after exhausting its strength, making a "bang" sound, followed by the sound of the tail slapping the green algae and the fish kept turning over.

Luo Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, what kind of fish is this? With such a strong effort, the speed is still so fast, fortunately I didn't lean to the water's edge at that time, otherwise I would never have had time to raise my arms to protect my face, and I should have been bleeding all over my face at this moment. Don't let him think too much, the fish slapped the ground with its tail, turned over and went to the water's edge, just before it was about to enter the water, Luo Yu walked forward quickly, raised his foot and kicked, the fish flew up like a football, and fell into the bay where he was resting. Afraid that there were other unknown dangers in the water, Luo Yu quickly jumped away from the water's edge after kicking the fish, and entered the corner with one step.

The fish is not so fierce now, its mouth opens and closes quickly, its red tail gently pats the green algae, and a wound an inch long is cracked on its snow-white belly, which is bubbling with blue liquid at the moment, thinking that Luo Yu just kicked its soft belly with a kick just now, and when he saw it, he stopped moving, and finally the fish's tail flicked and turned over and died.

Since Luo Yu ate a small piece of bread this morning, he has been jumping up and down for more than two hours in a row, at this time his stomach is empty, there is no boiling water for instant noodles, and he is not full at all when he eats dry, not to mention, it is not yet time to use the reserve grain, and now this fierce fish that does not have long eyes has died, why not have a grilled fish to try? But grilling fish in such a place will definitely attract other carnivores, so you have to think about it.

Turn your head and look around, there is a value like taro on the shore not far from the resting place, I don't know if it is poisonous or not, no matter what, first get a few pieces over, make a charcoal grilled fish, solve the problem of food and clothing. At the moment, I slowly groped for the past, but fortunately, it was harder than the ground by the river, and I didn't step on the mud pit. When I got closer, I realized that this was taro, and the growth of threes and twos was gratifying. Luo Yu was overjoyed, first knocked on the thorn bush next to him with a wooden stick, in case there was something hidden inside, and when he saw that there was no movement, he stepped to the side of the taro, stretched out his hand to break a few taro leaves, and returned to the curve. How to deal with the fish is a problem, the river is not daring to get closer, but this fish now looks really disgusting, think about it, or use mineral water to flush it, from the backpack turned out the keychain, there is a small folding scissors on it, hit off the fish scales, cut the fish belly, very strange, the blood of this fish is light blue, the smell is not fishy, but there is a faint fragrance, take out all the hidden and throw it into the dug small pit, and then cut off the ugly fish head, put it with the inside, and bury it with soil.

I didn't care about it for a while, there was a grunt of protest in my belly, I washed the blood water with mineral water at will, scratched the fish with scissors a few times, disassembled the instant noodles, took out the seasoning, sprinkled it on the fish, and then wrapped the fish body in taro leaves, and then dug up a ball of wet mud and wrapped it in taro leaves. The dead leaves on the ground not far from the taro were piled up, put together, hugged a large handful, all covered with mud fish, lit the fire with a lighter, and a cloud of blue smoke rose to the sky, the dead leaves were close to the river, and the water content was very large, however, the fire borrowed the wind and rushed up, Luo Yu quickly put some small branches and wet green algae on it, so that the fire could burn for a long time.

Gather the fire, three or two steps to the side of the taro, with the wooden stick in the hand to test the hardness of the soil, fortunately, did not use much force to raise a large pile of loose sand, with the hand to shake the taro rod, sure enough, it has been loosened, put aside the wooden stick, both hands pull hard, bring out a human head size taro, this is a life-saving thing. Not discouraged, he pulled out a dozen in a row, then broke it from the stem, transported the taro back to the fire several times, picked one up and cut it into four parts with scissors, threw it into the blazing fire, and waited for it to be roasted and sacrificed to the temple.

Put everything away and put it in the backpack, there may be danger here at any time, Luo Yu doesn't want to lose the backpack when the time comes, then he wants to die! There is only a lighter in the pocket of the pants, and the taro is in the backpack, and now it is precipitated, I don't know how far I can go with such a heavy thing on my back? But the road ahead is long, and I'd rather be tired than hungry anymore, which is really uncomfortable.

The fire was slowly extinguished, Luo Yu swallowed his saliva, picked out the taro and mud with a wooden stick, waited for them to cool down, drank a sip of water, grabbed a piece of black taro, blew the ash, peeled off the burnt skin outside, and suddenly the taro fragrance overflowed, I couldn't wait, I took a small bite, the whole mouth was taro, I felt that my tongue had to swallow it, and I didn't dare to eat it, although this thing was very similar to the taro in my consciousness, but here, who knows if it is the same thing, I don't know if there is poison, there is no poison test, I can only test the poison myself. After almost five minutes, I didn't feel any discomfort, so I swallowed it in a big gulp, a taro the size of a human head was not enough to eat, Luo Yu felt that this was the best thing he had ever eaten, maybe he was hungry.

Knock open the mud ball, the taro leaves can't contain the aroma of the grilled fish at all, the instant noodle seasoning is mixed with the fish meat and the leaf fragrance under the fire, and the smell is indescribable, I can't wait to open the roasted crumpled taro leaves, the tender white fish meat is presented in front of you, and the fragrance drifts away with the wind and dissolves into the air.

I don't know if this fish can be eaten, the same as before, tear off a small strip with my hand, put it in my mouth and taste it carefully, it is fragrant and soft and glutinous, it is very delicious, I waited for a few minutes, there was no dizziness and stomach pain, and I tore off a large piece of fish meat with my hands, and ate it deliciously. This fish has few bones and tender meat, which is really a rare delicacy. I just ate a big taro, now I am not so hungry, the fresh fragrance of the fish makes Luo Yu forget where he is, he is immersed in the delicious and can't extricate himself, he doesn't know that there is a pair of fierce eyes staring at him in the dense forest behind him, those eyes slowly leaned over, the thorns were separated, under the sun, a white-fronted tiger the size of a scalper appeared, it was only twenty or thirty meters away from Luo Yu, and was about to pounce, when suddenly a huge body came out next to him, and there was a palm-sized white hair-haired orangutan on his chest, and the gorilla pounced violently, The tiger did not dare to be careless, and withdrew its forward force, and the man stood up and raised his claws to meet the orangutan that pounced.

Luo Yu was so frightened by the movement behind him that he threw away the grilled fish in his hand, turned around and looked, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his hands and feet were weak, and he wanted to try to get up but couldn't, so he had to watch the two fierce beasts fighting fiercely at a place of about thirty meters in front of him.

The gorilla moved quickly, his arms hung on the hanging branches of the tree, his lower limbs stepped on the tiger's back, his claws tightened, his upper limbs swung hard, and a piece of tiger skin was torn off, and then a canopy of blood mist rose from the tiger's back, and then dyed the hair red and dripped to the ground.

The tiger roared, the mountain shook and the leaves fell, Luo Yu only felt that his heart was hit, and he was sulking, and the tiger roar kept echoing in his ears, and before he could reply, the big insect quickly turned its body, jumped up, opened its blood basin and bit the gorilla that swung towards it.

A sullen breath was exhaled, Luo Yu recovered his strength, shook his weak limbs, stood up with difficulty, picked up his backpack, took a stick, and ran downstream without his life. No wonder there are herds of herbivores on the other side of the river, but there are few traces here, such a big tiger here, it would be hellish to have too many herbivores, and the orangutans seem to be omnivores, these two beasts should have fought more than the first time.

It seems that these two beasts should have been attracted by the smell of grilled fish, otherwise they would not have come sooner rather than later, but they would have come over when they were eating fish, and in this primeval forest, they should not do such dangerous things again. But now there is taro, it should be able to be roasted and eaten, this thing carnivore is not interested, will not come to fight the autumn wind.

Luo Yu ran downstream regardless of it, the weight of the backpack was nothing in the process of escaping, and he felt that he should be faster than Bolt now. The roar of the tiger and the roar of the ape behind him all told Luo Yu how motivating the battle situation was, and now he had to leave here without forgetting his life to survive, fortunately, the further down the ground, the drier it became, and a short embankment was found on the shore, with traces of fire burning on it, I don't know if it was thunder or artificial, I didn't have time to take a closer look, and I stepped over at a glance. Only now did I realize that the forest was getting thinner and thinner, and the sky was getting brighter, so I thought I had come to the edge of the forest. A small wooden house appeared on a half-slope, Luo Yu was overjoyed, and stumbled towards the wooden house.

After running for so long, the whole person collapsed, and when he came to the small cabin, he saw a three-inch square pour-down on the small door, with a thatched roof, and the whole house was made of logs with the size of a bowl, and the gap was covered with mud. Luo Yu burst into tears, it seems that this is not an abandoned world, I once thought that I would live this life alone, now, I will not be lonely, the word "Fu" is so kind, this wooden house is so lovely.

As long as there are people, they are not afraid of anything, and before they can speak, a wave of dizziness hits, and their eyes are dark, and they fall to the ground......
