Chapter 3 Uncle
A day later, Liu Lu found himself lost.
The day before, after leaving the three people, in order to prevent them from catching up again, Liu Lu turned left and right, making a big circle. But who would have thought that the enemy was freed, and he himself was stunned!
"It's good that the weather has been gloomy for the past two days, and there is no sun, otherwise I would have been trapped here."
Taking advantage of the good weather, and the fact that he couldn't figure out which way to go for a while, Liu Lu thought about simply taking a look around here to see if he could find something to eat. Now there is only the last piece of dry cake left on him, which he left to save his life, and he will never move until the critical moment.
In addition to food, the water is running out, and the water in the water bladder can only last less than two days at most.
Liu Lu can only pin his hopes on this gloomy weather, hoping that God will make it rain.
In the sandy land on the Gobi Desert, although it is barren and barren, you can still see some shrubs and weeds growing here, and there are also some animals that can adapt to the survival of this land, such as eagles and vultures that occasionally fly in the sky, wild mice that sprang out of the ground at night, poisonous snakes that roam among the shrubs and weeds, and coyotes that haunt the dark, and even four-legged reptiles the size of a puppy that are not afraid of the sun.
Blackstone Town is said to be a small town, but it is also a larger mountain village, where most of the people there have been farming and hunting for a living, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, so they naturally know some knowledge of survival in the wild, and know what kind of things can be eaten or not.
While walking, he searched, and after more than half an hour, Liu Lu saw something that made his eyes shine.
A few small shrubs, the leaves looked dry and wilted, but there were several fist-sized holes in the ground around them, and Liu Lu could tell at a glance that these were holes left by wild mice. If it is a cave where it lives, then if you are lucky, you may be able to find a few wild mice, if it is not a hermit cave, then it can only be some holes made by wild mice to eat the roots of these small shrubs, so that the roots of these small shrubs can be eaten.
Liu Lu didn't bother with those dark and secluded wild mouse burrows, no matter whether there were wild mice in the cave or not, so many cave entrances, with the agility of wild mice, no tools at hand, it was basically impossible to catch them, so Liu Lu's target was the roots of those small shrubs.
Knowing that it was basically impossible to pull out a small shrub in such a place, Liu Lu still gave it a try.
"Hmmm......"
After exhausting his strength and not pulling it out, Liu Lu could only honestly dig from the ground. The sandy ground of the Gobi Desert is very hard, so if you don't find the right way, the roots you dig up may not be able to replenish the wasted effort.
In fact, the wild mice that live here have already pointed out the most correct path, which is those rat holes.
It was much easier to know how to dig naturally, and after an hour, Liu Lu finally dug out a large section of the roots of a small shrub.
The white roots of the fingers, with many marks of being gnawed by rats. Liu Lu broke off a small tree root and tried to wipe it briefly, but Hao didn't care about some fine dirt that was still stained on it, so he put it in his mouth and chewed it.
There is no other taste, just a very strong earthy taste. To Liu Lu's surprise, there was a lot of water in the roots of this small tree.
After eating a short section and feeling that there was nothing wrong with his body, Liu Lu put his mind at ease.
The roots of the small shrubs are scattered very open, and they extend very long in the ground, plus some wild mice gnawed, it took Liu Lu more than half a day to dig a small handful, of course, there was an unexpected harvest during this period, that is, Liu Lu caught a wild mouse that was still sleeping in a wild mouse hole.
The harvest is not too small, and the sky is already getting dark, Liu Lu does not dare to delay any longer, he wants to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain before dark, and also prevent poisonous insects.
Liu Lu was lucky this time, and soon found a small dirt mountain with serious wind and sand erosion, which was a good place to stay.
Five days later, the landscape of the beach next door has finally changed.
In front of Liu Lu was a bare black stone mud mountain forest with different shapes and different sizes, and the passages inside, the ravines were vertical and horizontal, and the dogs' teeth were intertwined, like a labyrinth.
"Devil's Town ......"
Although Liu Lu had heard of Devil City, he had never seen it. At this time, standing in front of this black and oppressive mountain, soil and stone forest, the words "Devil City" involuntarily popped up in my heart.
"It's not like to go through this mountain forest!"
In addition to being shocked, the strange rocks and strange peaks in front of him also gave Liu Lu a lot of pressure.
Now that we have come here, there is no way back, so we can only move forward. Liu Lu no longer hesitated, and after cleaning up his mood, he began to march towards the Devil's City, but when he approached a passage in the Devil's City, he found a person lying there motionless at the foot of a mountain.
Liu Lu didn't dare to move forward, so he could only look at it from a distance, but after looking at it for a while, he didn't see any movement from that person, and Liu Lu was a little skeptical that it would be a corpse.
I really couldn't twist the curiosity in my heart, and after struggling for a while, Liu Lu still leaned over cautiously.
After getting closer, the man still didn't move at all, and Liu Lu carefully tested it and found that this person really had no breath.
"Look at it like this, it will definitely not be a refugee from Chen Guo."
The corpse in front of him was a middle-aged man with a pale face, gray hair, an inky robe, and a pair of cotton shoes with delicate needlework.
"Alas, I don't know who you are, but since you died in this place, you can't waste your whole life, but don't worry, I will never let you be in the wilderness."
Liu Lu said in his mouth, but he didn't stop in his hands, only to see him squat down and start to pick up the clothes of the corpse in front of him.
Liu Lu has come all the way, Ru Mao drank blood, devoured it alive, saw too many dead people, and picked up dead people's clothes, there are really no taboos and obstacles.
Liu Lu first took off a pair of shoes from the corpse, and then put them on his feet, but just as he was about to tear off the collar of the corpse, the breathless corpse actually grabbed Liu Lu's wrist.
"Ahh
The sudden movement of this corpse frightened Liu Lu to scream, and he desperately retreated backwards, trying to escape, but was grabbed by the corpse's wrist.
"I was wrong...... I was wrong, you let go of me, please let go of me! ”
Liu Lu struggled while begging for mercy.
"Water ......"
The weak moaning made Liu Lu settle down a lot. "Okay, okay, you let me go first."
The man seemed to have exhausted his last strength, and the hand holding Liu Lu suddenly let go.
Liu Lu retreated in embarrassment, standing far away, and wanted to flee directly, but found that the man was still lying there motionless, so he hesitated a little.
"If you can talk, then you're still human. It's good to be human, as long as it's not a corpse, then don't be afraid! ”
Liu Lu was a little entangled, the person lying on the ground in front of him obviously needed water to save his life, but his water had bottomed out, and there were not a few mouthfuls at all, a few days ago he was still looking forward to whether it could rain a little, but unfortunately, the weather that had been gloomy for a few days did not rain a little. Fortunately, he gnawed on the roots of the tree all the way and saved a lot of water, so he barely managed to support himself here, saving the last bit of water in the water bladder.
"Alas, this little bit of water is left to me, and I'm afraid it won't last a day or two. I don't know how many days it will take to get out of this devil's city, and I don't know what dangers there are inside, anyway, it seems that I probably won't be able to reach Zhaoming Kingdom, so I'll just give you a drink, so I can save your life now. ”
Carefully walk up to the man and pour the last bits of water from the bladder into the man's mouth.
In the middle of the meeting, the man finally moved a little.
"Who are you?"
"I'm ......" Liu Lu was just about to reply when he heard the man say.
"Are you wearing my shoes?"
Liu Lu's face turned red, and he forgot about this stubble in a series of things just now, so he hurriedly took off his shoes and handed them over.
The man took the shoes and put them on slowly and silently.
Liu Lu began to feel a little weak in his heart, this person will not investigate him for picking up clothes.
Obviously, Liu Lu was a little worried, but after the man put on his shoes, he stood up and said, "You saved me just now?" ”
Liu Lu silently pinched the water bladder, "I just fed you some water." ”
The man nodded, said no more, and began to walk towards the Devil's City.
Liu Lu didn't know what to do, hesitated for a while, and saw that the man was a little far away, so he immediately made up his mind and followed from a distance.
In this way, the two walked one after the other, and neither of them spoke, until the next day later, Liu Lu found that the person who was sitting on the ground resting had never moved, so he stepped forward with some confusion.
"You ......" Liu Lu thought that the man was dead again, and was just about to exit when he was interrupted.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Liu Lu." Liu Lu replied honestly, but for some reason he was not wary or afraid at all at this time.
"Are you going to Zhaoming Kingdom?"
"Yes."
"Then follow me, and by the way, I will take you to Zhaoming Kingdom, and this fate will be resolved."
"......, let's go."
Liu Lu was very curious about the person in front of him, and he also had a lot of questions to ask in his heart, but seeing the person's expression, he didn't ask in the end.
The man seemed to know Liu Lu's heart, "You just call me uncle." ”
It's just that after saying this, he didn't say anything more, and he didn't care about Liu Lu's other questions.
After that, the two walked side by side.
