Chapter 51: The Great Serpent
Su Buyi, who came out from behind, looked at the dark clearing and grabbed Su Buyi in fear.
Su Buyi pursed the corners of his mouth and touched Su Buyi's hair, but he couldn't say anything about comfort.
The family fell silent.
Su Bu breathed a sigh of relief, took the lead in breaking the silence, and asked, "Ah Niang, how long have we been asleep?" ”
Zhao said: "For five whole hours, let alone the sun, I haven't even seen a star!" ”
Five hours! Even if it's night when you go to bed, it's time for dawn!
Su Bujing sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that a new natural disaster had appeared, and asked, "Then during the five hours, has anything strange happened?" ”
"No, it's dark, there's no sound at all! It's quiet... It's scary! Zhao replied with a trembling voice.
It's like... Only they exist, and there are many unknown dangers in the shadows, just like secretly staring at them!
In such an environment where you can't see your fingers, with such a mood, anyone will be frightened, which is human nature.
Su Bu exhaled lightly and said with a smile:
"That's not the worst! At least it's just dark, and the ground isn't moving! ”
Listening to Su Bujing's comforting words to adjust the atmosphere, Su Yuanshan reluctantly hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Yes, we have a lot of firewood and honey candles in our house, and we can light it with a fire, but it can't be dark for us!"
Su Buwei asked: "Ah Niang, how many honey candles do we have?" ”
"It's quite a lot, but if you use it every day, it won't last long..."Zhao replied with a pale face.
"It's okay, let's save a little, when we are in the carriage, we will use honey candles to light, and if we are lighting outside, we will cut down trees to make a fire!"
Su Bu was surprised to come up with an idea.
After a while, Su Buwei was embarrassed and said, "How can we go to Fuzhou now?" ”
They had planned to tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest by the direction of the sunrise, but now that it was dark, what should they do?
"It's not a big problem, we keep going in one direction, and we always come to a place where there are people." Su Bu replied with a wave of his hand.
So, the family sorted out their panic and lit a honey candle and hung it in front of the carriage wall.
Then he lit another torch, and by the light of the torch, he found a place where trees could grow.
Where there are trees, you can cut them down to make fires, and you can also find edible wild vegetables and fruits.
This is how the family began a new round of escape.
None of them dared to ask where the sun and moon had gone, or when it would dawn, or if it would be so dark forever...
Anyway, as long as their family can live!
The sound of the carriage moving was particularly deafening in the silence of the night.
The Su family didn't keep quiet all the way, and they each found something to do.
If it is too quiet, it will magnify the fear in people's hearts.
Inside the carriage
Under the dim candlelight, Su Bushu's swollen cheeks glowed with a warm luster like pearls, delicate and soft.
At this time, she was practicing gathering the aura in her eyes for a long time, so that she could see things in the dark in the future without being affected by the environment.
If Su Bujing could do it, their family would avoid many dangers hidden in the dark.
Su Buyi looked at the light on the wall of the car, held a thick book in his bony hand, and read in a beautiful voice like a jade plate:
"There is no monarch in the Moon Country, and the great teachers are respected, and all the people of the Moon Country worship the Moon God as the Lord..."
This book is the birthday gift that Su Yuanshan gave him before, Yue Guozhi.
Su Buyi, who was lying on his lap, raised his head, looked at Su Buyi without blinking, listened with relish, and asked in his immature voice from time to time.
Su Buwei sat cross-legged and leaned on the side, listening to Su Buwei leisurely while wiping the sharp iron sword in his hand with a muslin cloth.
His limbs were still carrying iron sand sandbags at this time, and he had not taken them off before he had escaped.
There was a warm atmosphere inside the carriage, and there was also the sound of conversation outside the carriage.
Su Yuanshan and Zhao, who were driving, sat on the edge of the car chatting with you and me, and they were not talking very heavyly.
It's some daily chores, what to eat later, when to exercise, what miscellaneous books to read to the children before going to bed... Etcetera.
In short, you can't be quiet, and you can't give yourself time to think nonsense.
After the Su family walked slowly for half an hour, they officially entered a forest.
"When you enter the forest, don't put your head out of the woods, be careful of hitting the branches!"
Su Yuanshan reminded in a gentle tone.
By this time, he and Zhao had accepted the reality of the eternal night and returned to their normal state of mind.
Su Bu opened his eyes, opened the car door, didn't poke his head out, sat in the carriage and said to Su Yuanshan outside the car: "Daddy, I want to come out to breathe!" ”
"What's there to see when you come out? It's dark, it's warm in the carriage, go in and get warm! Zhao was not at ease at all.
Although their family is wearing the warm sachet given by Su Bujing, they will definitely not be cold.
But my mother's worries were never unnecessary.
"A-Niang, I'm wrapped in a cloak, it's very warm! I just want to get out and breathe. ”
Su Bu's voice was soft and delicate.
In the end, Zhao still couldn't stand Su Bu's soft grinding and hard foaming, and hugged her into his arms.
There are too many dangers lurking in the woods under the dark night.
Su Bu was not surprised and didn't dare to bet, the situation of their family couldn't withstand another accident.
Su Bujing sat in Zhao's arms, gathered the aura in his eyes, and stared intently at the dense woods around him.
The carriage traveled for a while, and there was no change, but Su Buxing did not relax in the slightest.
Suddenly, Su Bu was startled and saw a huge dark brown clod of dirt in front of the carriage, squirming slightly.
Su Bu narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.
This look directly frightened her into taking a deep breath of cold air.
"Auntie, Daddy, don't go forward! I see a snake ahead! Su Bu said in an angry voice.
"What? Where is it? Su Yuanshan hurriedly reined in the horse and stopped the carriage in place.
Zhao took advantage of the situation to raise the torch in his right hand high and stretched it forward, illuminating the road ahead.
Su Buyi and the others in the carriage also poked their heads out curiously and looked at Su Yuanshan and Zhao together.
Scare!
At this time, the Su family finally saw the big snake hidden in the woods in front of them.
The snake was three meters long and very thick, and its body was clinging to a large and lush tree, its tail looping around its branches, and its scales glowing with metallic luster in the faint candlelight.
What a big snake!
The Su family looked at the big snake not far away in horror, and couldn't help but hold their breath, and the air instantly calmed down.
The sizzling sound from the mouth of the big snake was clearly audible, and the Su family could hear a chill rising from the soles of their feet, as if they had fallen into a cold ice cellar.
