Chapter 11 Male and Female Pairing
Sentinel station for small days?
In other words, Liu Baye, didn't they come to find the ancient tombs hidden in the primeval forest of the Great Xing'an Mountains?
Could it be just a coincidence?
At this time, I can only conjecture like this.
As night approached, we didn't have time to talk about the little day, and we needed to light a bonfire before it got completely dark, because only a bonfire would keep us safe from wild beasts.
Fortunately, there were a lot of discarded and broken wooden planks nearby, and after a simple collection, we lit a bonfire before the night was completely dark.
Because of the abundant firewood, we lit two campfires, and the two campfires were about five or six meters apart, and our group was in the middle of the two, which greatly reduced the risk of us being attacked at night.
Under the reflection of the firelight, the whole clearing became very clear, and you could scan it at a glance.
The whole open space covers an area of about 100 square meters, but it is surprisingly dry, and it can be said that there is no grass, which is in stark contrast to the surroundings.
I don't know what kind of means Xiaori did back then, which can make a green plant not grow here for decades.
While this environment is conducive to observing the situation around us, it also exposes us to the unobstructed state of unobstructed view.
The only effective weapon we have at this moment is the two campfires.
A few of us sat around the middle of the two fires, took out food and water, and began to replenish the energy lost during the day.
I've always eaten very quickly, so after eating my food, I volunteered to take on the role of a guard.
I have a short knife, about two fingers longer than a dagger, which I bought when I was out of the Heihe train station, when I was buying a coat.
With a short knife in hand, I can't help but feel a lot more at ease, just like when I was in the Ruins Immortal Island, the first sister also had the same foresight.
I walked back and forth around the two campfires with my short knife, my eyes looking around warily.
In the bonfire, Liu Qiaomei suddenly sighed and said: "The direction has been determined, but we haven't found the specific location yet, and we don't know how long we have to walk in this ridge, and I don't know if my brother is alive or dead now!" ”
Seeing that Liu Qiaomei was a little depressed, Brother Leopard on the side spoke up and comforted: "Sister, everything must be on the good side, the Baye Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine, maybe they are just lost in this primeval forest, we will definitely be able to find it." ”
"Well, I hope so." Liu Qiaomei responded casually.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go to the tree at dawn tomorrow to take a look, hoping to determine the specific location."
Hearing this, Liu Qiaomei reluctantly squeezed out a smile from her face, "Well, thank you for your hard work." ”
The empty desert Gobi needs to be guarded, and the dense primeval forest is even more to be taken lightly, because you have no idea how many pairs of eyes are staring at you in the dense forest around you.
I have to say that Brother Leopard's equipment is still very complete, there are two simple tents alone, one for Liu Qiaomei and Liu Tingting, and the remaining one belongs to the three of us.
Of course, it's impossible for three big men to squeeze into that small tent at the same time, and even if they do, the tent is not in my consideration.
On the one hand, after entering the tent, the view will be blocked, and if something unexpected happens, it will not be able to react in time.
It's just one thing, but it's also important to me because I'm really not used to sleeping with three big men, and it always feels weird.
The vigil is very important, and we didn't plan to let Liu Qiaomei and Liu Tingting follow us to keep vigil together, but the two of them had strong demands, and in the end we had to compromise.
The vigil team is divided into two groups, one is Brother Leopard and Liu Qiaomei, they are responsible for keeping watch in the second half of the night, and I, Gouzi and Liu Tingting are responsible for keeping watch in the first half of the night.
Men and women are not tired of vigils, maybe Brother Leopard also took into account the boredom of the vigil, so he arranged it this way.
The dog does not speak, which dooms him to a withdrawn character, and he is far away from us, alone, carrying his long back around the clearing in front of him.
Liu Tingting and I sat next to the two bonfires, only two or three meters apart.
"Alas, Liu Tingting, I really can't imagine that you still know Japanese."
Liu Tingting glanced at me with slanted eyes when she heard this, and said to me with a very arrogant expression: "What's wrong with knowing Japanese, don't always look at people with colored glasses, I know more." ”
I just wanted to praise her, but I didn't expect her to gasp.
What's so great about knowing Japanese, in other words, that guy Wu Fatzi also knows a lot of Japanese, and when will I go back, I'll let Wu Fatzi teach me two sentences.
"By the way, Liu Tingting, how did you understand the alchemy of the Northern School, you were taught to you from elementary school or your godfather."
This is a big question buried in my heart, after seeing Liu Tingting's ability in the Dunhuang desert, I have been wanting to ask, but I have not found the opportunity.
Now this long night is just an opportunity.
When I asked this, Liu Tingting suddenly fell into a deep thought, as if she suddenly remembered some painful memories.
After a long time, Liu Tingting squeezed out a smile on her face and said to me: "How could it be taught by my godfather, if he taught, he would not be trapped in this primeval forest, it was my father who gave it to me......"
I thought that I would hear a story similar to my life experience in the future, but Liu Tingting obviously didn't want to share the so-called pain in her heart with others, so she just kept silent.
In fact, about Liu Tingting, I once learned something from Dabao's mouth, I heard that Liu Tingting was adopted by Liu Baye in Jilin, one of the three northeastern provinces, it seems that there was a strong earthquake at that time, Liu Tingting's family all died, and she was left alone.
As for those details, Dabao said that he didn't know.
Everyone has secrets hidden in their hearts that cannot be said, even me, so since Liu Tingting didn't plan to say it, I didn't continue to ask, guessing that when she wanted to say it, she would naturally tell me herself.
Time passed minute by minute, and the first half of the night was over in a blink of an eye, and there were some noises during this period, but they were all false alarms, either hares, insects, or the like.
There was no set alarm clock, and as soon as the time came, Brother Leopard and Liu Qiaomei opened their eyes directly, feeling like they hadn't really fallen asleep all the time.
Liu Tingting seemed to be really sleepy, yawned and went into her tent.
The moment I walked to the tent, I hesitated, I wondered if to go in, because I had never shared a bed with a man, even when I was on the boat, Wu Fatzi and I were in the same bed, and I still couldn't accept the two big men huddled together.
"Dog, you can sleep in a tent, I'll just sleep outside."
I just asked.
I thought the dog would unceremoniously burrow into the tent, but to my surprise, he didn't, but instead sat down by the fire with his long backpack in his arms, and closed his eyes.
Looking at the dog's posture as if sitting on the spot, I was speechless for a while.
I obviously gave him the tent in advance, and it was his business if he didn't stay, so I didn't have so many worries by myself.
So I slipped into the tent without hesitation, yawned, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it was, but I was awakened by a sudden urge to urinate.
I reluctantly climbed out of the tent, intending to find a place to make it easier.
But the moment I got out of the tent, I suddenly realized that something wasn't quite right.
Brother Leopard and Liu Qiaomei, who were in charge of guarding the second half of the night, disappeared, and even the dog who sat on the spot disappeared as well......
