Chapter 119: White Mud
"How can the dead trees here be so big! No... Isn't it normal? Su Buwei opened his mouth wide in shock, and his voice was a little out of tune.
"Of course not!" Su Yuanshan swallowed with difficulty.
Where in the world is there such a big tree! I'm afraid that it won't grow so big for thousands of years, and people are like a fragile and insignificant young leaf that can only be attached to it.
What the hell have they been! Why is it getting more and more wrong?
"Should... It's not like we're getting smaller. Zhao said hesitantly, his face a little ugly.
"It's not our problem anymore, if the road suddenly gets smaller, we'll definitely notice it." Su Bu held back the surprise in his heart and said softly to the Zhao family.
When Zhao heard Su Bujing's reassuring words, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, nodded again and again, and the panic in his heart faintly subsided.
As long as they're not getting smaller!
"You see, the top of these dead trees seems to be bent." Su Buyi frowned, raised his right arm high, and pointed to the top of the dead tree in front of him.
When Su Bu and the others heard this, they hurriedly looked up.
Sure enough, I found that the tops of these dead trees were all growing towards the middle, and the gray-white leaves were weakly pulling downward, tenaciously emitting a faint gray light.
The upper halves of the dead trees are slightly pressed together, forming a shape similar to a cone, which looks like a sparse triangular roof from a distance.
It's like an invisible magnet in the middle of a forest that attracts the top of a dead tree.
"So, do we still want to go in?" Su Buwei sat on the ground and said without tears.
No one answered him, because they didn't know the answer either.
Only Su Buwei was the first to recover from her surprise, she pulled up Su Buwei, who was sitting on the ground, and said firmly to her family:
"Do you even need to think about it? Of course you have to go in! ”
"If we don't go in, do we have to go back the way we came? We walked through the woods behind, everyone knows what the situation is, going around for so long, there is absolutely no way out, staying there for a long time, I am afraid that people will be deranged. ”
"We finally found Shibi, seeing that things have taken a turn for the better, and we have worked so hard to get here, how can we just give up? The more problematic there is ahead, the more likely it is to be the way out! ”
Su Bu's words persuaded the Su family, and the retreat turned into endless hope.
In fact, they knew in their hearts that if they returned the way they came, the best outcome would be nothing more than to die of old age in the woods.
Their lives were safe, but it wasn't what they wanted.
There is no one to be seen, no one is seen when the head is bowed, and even if they can live safely, sooner or later they will go crazy inside.
The life of people who are not human and ghosts is not the peace they seek by escaping death several times.
Su Yuanshan calmed down and said his thoughts:
"To go back the way you are is to wait for death, we have hands and feet, entering the giant forest is not necessarily looking for death, crisis and danger coexist, I think we should go in and break through, what do you think?"
"I'm fine, as long as we're together as a family!" Zhao clenched his fists and agreed, and Su Bujing and the others also nodded in agreement.
"I have a problem!" Su Buxian raised his hand aggrievedly, and said in the inquiring eyes of his family: "If you go inside, I will be even shorter!" ”
Whole Family: ......
Su Buwei twitched the corner of his mouth, pressed Su Buwei's head, and his tone was slightly speechless, "What are you afraid of!" It's not just that you're short, even if the eldest brother goes in, I'm afraid it's as small as an earthworm in the soil. ”
Su Buyi tried his best to keep smiling: ......
Just say it, why use him as a metaphor!
Su Bu snorted and laughed.
If the eldest brother is an earthworm, then the younger brother is a grasshopper!
"Since everyone agrees to go in, let's prepare a few more torches, the upper part of the trunk is leaning towards the center, and the light inside may be a little dim."
Su Buyi took a deep breath and forcefully shifted the topic to the right track.
The Su family quickly pulled back their minds, stopped laughing, took twelve torches from the Zhao family's space, lit six, one person took one, and the remaining six torches were pinned to the Su family's waists for easy replenishment at any time.
Then, they each ate a handful of awakening flowers, kept a clear head, and headed towards the giant forest.
Julin looked close, but it seemed to be separated by 108,000 miles in the middle, and after walking for most of the day, Su Bujing and the others didn't touch the corner of the big dead tree.
However, there are changes. The closer you get to the forest, the bigger the plants on the side of the road, and even the weeds are half a man's height as if they were inflated.
The Su family's pace was forced to slow down, and with every step they took, they had to use a knife to cut down the weeds that stood in the way.
There are pools of black water densely distributed on the ground, there is no stench, just scary to look at, it is the product of melting black snow.
When there are conditions to detour, the Su family tries to avoid the black water beach.
Suddenly, Su Buyi stopped, squinting his eyes and staring at somewhere, as if something conspicuous had attracted his attention.
"Wait, I think I see a big off-white thing in front of me?" Su Buyi said in a slightly dull tone.
He wasn't sure what it was.
"Sister, come and take a look, you have good eyes." Su Buyi picked up Su Bujing, held her in his arms, and aimed her face in the direction of the off-white object.
What can make Su Buyi pay attention must not be simple, Su Buyi nodded solemnly, stretched out his head, and looked at it carefully with his naked eye.
But because she was so far away, she could only vaguely see a soft and rotten white object. Su Bu pondered for a while and said, "Hmm... It's quite conspicuous against the black snow, is it white mud and sand? ”
Only Su Bujing and Su Buyi could see the beige mud in the whole family, and the others' eyes widened, and they could only get a bubble of sour physiological tears.
In order to be able to know what that thing was, the Su family quickened their footsteps, and walked towards Bai Ni quickly and without chaos.
But before the Su family walked to the place where Su Bujing and Su Buyi saw the white mud, they found another lump of white mud nearby.
The soft white mud was loosely scattered on the black earth, and a little bit of water from the melting black snow was stained on it, which was particularly dazzling.
Su Bujing and the others first pulled out the grass roots on the ground, and used the thick grass roots to poke the white mud to check the situation in the mud.
After confirming that the white mud was as safe and harmless as the black snow, Su Buwei was the first to step forward curiously, pinched a handful of white mud and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff.
"Hey, this white mud smells so good! It's a bit like the smell of cooked rice... It is soft and delicate to the touch, and the pieces are distinct. ”
Su Buwei's eyes widened in disbelief, and his right hand twisted the white mud, and the fine particles slipped loosely and dryly from his fingers.
"It's food! In addition to being like dirt, it's like rice under a natural disaster! ”
Su Buwei shouted in surprise, he simply praised the white mud in the sky and on the earth, and after praising it, he didn't look at the strange expressions of Su Bujing and others, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to pick it up.
"Second brother, why don't you forget it!" The corners of Su Bu's mouth rose inexplicably, and he stopped him in a loud voice.
