Its Seven Experiences (2)
A cup of tea, a stick of incense, half an hour......
Finally, the first person appeared in front of Jiang Ye's eyes, it was Chen Ming, followed by Meng Fan, one after another, Wang Hai, Fang Hua, Lan Yin and others appeared one after another, and after waiting for a long time, they didn't see Zhou Qing down after all.
Jiang Ye asked everyone, but they only said that they didn't know.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Ye got up and clapped his hands: "Okay, we should discuss the next things, we will probably sleep here tonight, since I have often slept in the wilderness, how about I command everyone?"
"Aren't you waiting for Zhou Qing to come along?" Lan Yin asked in a soft and glutinous voice.
"I'm going to build a bonfire here to make sure you can see that he didn't come down, and that there are only three possibilities. First, he did not dare to go down the mountain or had turned back the way he came, second, he was injured or dead, and third, he was still hesitant to come down. We waited here until tomorrow, and if we could not wait for him, we would leave him alone and go on our way. ”
"I don't think it's good to leave him alone." Lan Yin was a little worried.
"You can turn back and go to him, no one will stop you." Jiang Ye smiled and spoke, seeing that Lan Yin was silent, he continued: "This is a test for him, no one can help him, he can only overcome it by himself, I hope you can understand the meaning of the sect."
"Is this the trial of the sect?" Chen Ming asked lightly.
"Everything before reaching that cliff is a trial." Jiang Ye responded.
Everyone seemed to understand.
"We should then prepare for the overnight." Jiang Ye instructed everyone to do their duties: Fanghua and Lanyin collected firewood and weeds, and the rest of the people needed to build several layers of protection with stones, although everyone was puzzled, Jiang Ye explained that it was necessary.
After being busy for more than an hour, they finally built a few layers of stones on the edge of the cliff, and broke some branches as a fence to enclose a layer, Fanghua and Lanyin also picked up a lot of firewood and weeds, and Jiang Ye and others spread the weeds on the ground, which was regarded as a resting place. When everything was over, Wang Hai panted and said, "I'm tired, I really want to eat."
The crowd chimed in: "We're hungry too."
Jiang Ye got up and said, "I'll go find something to eat."
He picked up a few stones, went to the moonlit forest, and crept around to take a closer look. Taking advantage of Jiang Ye's departure, everyone began to discuss.
"Is it okay to leave him alone?" Wang Hai asked.
"Since he went, it means that he is sure, and we are afraid that we will not be able to help anything." Chen Ming said.
Indeed, the people here have never slept in the wild, so they are quite uncomfortable.
"Now I can only trust him." Fong Wah Road.
"I'm just afraid he doesn't have the ability." Meng Fan asked.
"You can also go by yourself, I'm afraid you don't have the guts." Loneliness taunts.
"It's better than someone who can do it." Meng Fan said sarcastically.
"Do you want to die?" Lonely stared at him fiercely.
"I'm just afraid you won't dare to do it." Meng Fan stood up and looked at each other.
The momentum of the two sides became tense, Chen Ming reconciled, and the two of them suppressed their anger.
Pitch-black clouds filled the sky, and the shadows of the chaotic trees were reflected on the ground by the moonlight, and the leaves of the river were hidden in them, looking for opportunities.
A gray turtledove flew to a tree, and had just finished foraging for food, and it shook its feathers and combed itself with its pointed beak.
With a "whoosh", a broken stone flew up, and before the night was thick, the turtledove had already smashed its skull and fell straight down before it could react.
Jiang Ye stayed for a while, and then hunted two sparrows and a wild pigeon, thinking that it should be almost over, so he went back with the prey.
After the prey is washed and processed, the eba stand is roasted on the fire.
"Can I eat this?" Wang Hai looked at the "food" roasted on the fire rack and had some doubts.
But he was soon reassured of his fears, and the roasted prey was greased, and the smell of meat permeated the air and penetrated his lungs. Seeing that it was almost roasted, Jiang Ye gave the two sparrows to Fanghua and Lanyin, and the rest of the food was divided into everyone.
Wang Hai took the first bite and spit it out again: "It's so unpalatable."
Since there is no condiment to reconcile, there is only a bloody breath in the mouth, which makes people sick.
Everyone tasted it and spit it out. Jiang Ye ate it to himself, the taste was also the same as chewing wax to him, which made people sick, but he was used to it.
Seeing that Jiang Ye seemed to be eating with relish, everyone couldn't bear to be hungry, so they endured it and ate it.
Due to hunger, Wang Hai could only be forced to give in, eat the food in his hand, and chew the bones again, quite unsatisfied. So he came to Jiang Ye's side, and said with some shame: "That, Brother Jiang, I haven't eaten enough, is there anything else about this?"
Jiang Ye looked at this fat man who was born round and said, "You can go hunt some by yourself and come back."
So he told him the method, and Wang Hai ran away with a pile of stones in a hurry.
"What did he do?" Lonely is a little curious.
"Night Hunt." Jiang Ye replied casually, and lay down on the weeds to rest.
Looking at the glimmering stars, it was an unattainable dream, the twinkling starlight would be extinguished one day, and he didn't know when he would die, he only hoped that now he had some spare strength to change the trajectory.
After a while, Wang Hai ran back, sat down on the ground, and said to Jiang Ye out of breath: "That stone can't touch those wild birds at all, the forest is dark, and there are strange sounds, I can't stay anymore."
"So what?" Jiang Ye said impatiently.
"Brother Jiang, can you go and fight a few more." Wang Hai pleaded.
"Tomorrow." Jiang Ye turned his body away, "It's late at night now, it's too dangerous." ”
"Okay." Seeing that Jiang Ye ignored him, Wang Hai had no choice but to retreat stupidly.
This night, everyone didn't sleep well, most of them were entangled in trouble, and the next morning, Zhou Qing still hadn't seen him.
So everyone could only continue to set off, and on the way, Lan Yin looked back at the barren valley and whispered, "Good luck."
