Chapter 501: Jumping off a cliff
"My men are waiting for us in tents about twenty or thirty kilometers west from here, can they faintly hear the sound of the stream running in front of us? In the lakeside jungle near the lower reaches of this mountain stream, this is where we set up camp. ”
"Does that mean we're going all the way down this stream?" That's right. Let's go, you can ride on it first! ”
Bai Lang helped Zhong Qian onto the camel. He was about to step on the camel's back when the camel stood up and trembled. Its nostrils were wide open, and its ears were erect high, as if it had discovered some emergency.
"Why are you so nervous? Lie down! ”
When the camel stands up, there is no way for a man to ride it up. Bai Lang commanded in ancient Mongolian language, in order to make it quiet. However, the camel, which had always been very obedient, shook its head like mad, and lifted its two front legs high, and straightened its hind legs, and straightened its whole body.
Zhong Qian almost rolled to the ground, so frightened that she screamed repeatedly, and her hands clutched the saddle. I didn't expect the camel to run with its legs raised, and it ran desperately forward.
"Wait...... Wait for me! Shirakuro followed closely.
But the camel ignored Bai Lang's scolding, and still ran wildly as if it were crazy, and ran into the grass when he saw it. Zhong Qian on the saddle was so frightened that she had to hold on to the camel saddle tightly.
"Why is this happening?"
Bai Lang ran forward. While pondering for a moment, he noticed that there seemed to be some kind of voice, and he stood and listened attentively, when from behind came the sound of camels galloping.
Bai Lang turned his head, and by the starlight, he saw five camels rushing side by side. Several men dressed in Gumon costumes rode on camels, each holding a short gun.
"It's those nasty guys!"
It was they who were Qiu Laohu and his men. After they found out that someone had rescued Zhong Qian, they immediately rushed up desperately.
Shirarou raised his legs and continued to run, his ears passing from time to time with bullets flying from behind. Bai Lang gasped and ran forward desperately.
The camel Zhong Qian was riding was long gone. And the sound of the camel behind him was approaching step by step, and Bai Lang could only run forward without his life.
Finally, he ran into a jungle. Although the stars twinkled in the sky, there were no fingers in the forest. As he fumbled, he ran deeper into the jungle, and in a moment he felt something unusual in the path under his feet, so he stopped, and the rocks at his feet collapsed in a heap
He had to stop there, because there was a bottomless mountain stream in front of him. He tried to take a few steps to the left, then a few steps to the right, and found that it was all steep cliffs. A rumbling sound of running water came up from under the cliff, and the pursuers behind also entered the jungle, and bullets fired from random guns were everywhere.
"It's in here." Qiu Laohu said. "Shoot!"
Immediately, a piece of the five guns "bang, bang, bang" spewed sparks, and the bullets rained out, but fortunately they were all blocked by the big trees.
Bai Lang saw that the situation was too critical, so he had no choice but to jump into the stream of unknown depth.
.……
The skies of the western plateau are all blue, and the strong sunlight shines on the streams. The trees in the jungle are lush and full of life, and the ground is covered with large white orchids.
There is a waterfall in the upper reaches of the stream, and the water that flows down from the waterfall is very fast, forming a circular whirlpool. The rushing water hits the boulders and splashes in layers. On those huge rocks, covered with green moss.
The rocks on the shore are also covered with moss, making them very slippery. On the opposite bank, there was a "cheetah", and after walking here, the cheetah straightened its four legs, opened its big mouth, yawned, and its white whiskers like wire shone in the sun.
With that, it stuck out its blood-red tongue again, and licked its beard over and over again, probably just eating an antelope, and the blood was still stained on its beard.
It seems that after the cheetah had filled its belly, it felt thirsty again, so it crawled from the shore to drink water.
The sound of the upstream waterfall hitting the water can still be clearly heard here. In the rocks on the shore, many roots were exposed, and there was a lot of grass growing there.
The cheetah, which had only walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, stretched out its ears, looked at something in the water, and was stunned.
In the middle of the stream floated a man who, although the current was fast, was blocked by a huge rock, so he was not swept away by the water.
The cheetah leaps into the water. The majestic posture of the body is so wonderful, like a swallow touching the water. This jump, it was definitely 5 or 6 meters away, and it landed right on that huge rock. As soon as it stood still, it lowered its head and put its nose close to the man floating next to the big rock, sniffing the scent.
The man was on his back, his face was pale, and his eyes were closed. Needless to say, this is Hakuro who jumped off a cliff.
The cheetah grabbed the belt of Shirorou's hunting suit, dragged him from the water to the shore, and ran into the jungle with it in his mouth.
In the jungle, under a stone wall, there is a cave. The cheetah ran to the entrance of the cave, put Bai Lang down, and roared "whining".
As soon as its cry stopped, an old man came out of the cave. The old man was half-naked, with only an antelope skin wrapped around his waist.
The old man had a dark complexion, and his face was already full of wrinkles.
"Ouch, cheetah, what's going on?"
The old man immediately bent down, pressed his ear to Bai Lang's chest, listened intently for a long time, and then said:
"The heart hasn't stopped beating, and there is hope for life. Cheetah, you did a good job of this, where did you find it?...... Oh, I see, looking at this man's outfit, he must have come to hunt. Maybe you fell into the water carelessly, right? Thanks to being discovered...... It was the first time I had seen people in the city in many years, and it reminded me of the old days. ”
The old man muttered to himself as he walked towards the cave. After a while, he came out again, still carrying a small jar made of clay in his hand. He poured the liquid from the jar into Hakuro's mouth, which was probably a potion soaked in herbs.
The old man took off most of Bai Lang's clothes and began to massage him vigorously. Gradually, Bai Lang's bloodless face glowed red, and after a few moments, his eyelids blinked a few times.
"Hey, finally woke up!"
Bai Lang didn't expect to be saved in this place anyway, and he immediately turned over and sat up.
"Thank you very much, may I ask the old man's surname?"
"We'll talk about it later, you'll have to rest a little longer. You fell into the stream, didn't you?"
"Yes, thanks to your old man's rescue, I have a chance to survive, thank you very much."
"You don't have to thank me, you should thank me for the cheetah, it took you out of the water to the cave"
