18 Chapter 18
Very close to the edge of the rainforest, the grass beneath his feet was wetter than elsewhere, and it was gradually clinging to Ah Yun's calves. The dirt is also softer, making a slight crunch when stepped on. There were also more obstacles in the grass, mostly strange ferns growing sideways, or strange thin roots that snaking around.
Walking became more and more difficult, as if the grass outside was a thick green mud swamp, and the rainforest surrounded by trees that reached straight to the sky was the land rising from the mud.
There were only a few dozen steps left from the edge of the rainforest, and the grass that had only reached the calf was already covering Ah Yun's thighs, and she was a little uneasy, although she knew that the touch of those touches on her skin was just blades of grass, but she couldn't help but wonder if it could be insects.
Flooded with grass, in front of it is a green rainforest. Ah Yun swallowed, and the grass around her seemed to spread out a hunting net hidden under the dirt, and as soon as she took a step closer to the rainforest, the green and soft hunting net would instantly close and encompass her.
Complete the transformation from human to prey.
The sweat on his forehead was low, and there was a numbness feeling from the top of his head down to his back, like excitement and fear. She gripped the wooden spear and approached the rainforest at an even slower pace. This nervous feeling seemed to take Ah Yun back to a month ago, when she was thrown out of the settlement. Yes, she's only been away for a month, so how can she seem so unfamiliar with the rainforest?
Sweat almost drips from the palms of the palms to the dirt, and the memories of crawling in the rainforest a month ago come out of the long-dormant riverbed with silt and sand.
Ah Yun didn't particularly remember how many days she had spent in the rainforest, if it was based on the pain, she thought it would be a lifetime. More tormenting Ah Yun than hunger, more than being unable to sleep, was the ubiquitous voice
Birds, footsteps, leaves rubbing, water roaring, roaring huge objects, birds flapping their wings and flying away, crusts colliding
The sounds mingled like an overloaded iron shopping cart, slamming against the wall, and again and again the bloodshot from the deepest part of the body was driven up by the noise and clung up the spine, red tentacles covering the whites of the eyes like parasites.
When she tried to escape the rainforest a month ago, she barely slept. At that time, whenever there was a voice, she would tremble and curl up in some hidden place, waiting for the sound to fade or disappear, but it would take a long, long time. Being bitten by bugs or chased by strange creatures is commonplace, and thanks to this, while crawling through the rainforest, Ah Yun is forced to learn to climb trees and climb very well. Previously, I was able to hang meat and organs high in the tree, thanks to the training at this time.
When she was thrown into the rainforest, Ah Yun had suicidal thoughts, and when she slept for less than 3 hours for three consecutive days, she collapsed to the point that she kept hitting her head against the tree, and kept hitting her head with the determination to die, but unfortunately this way itself was relatively lame, and the brain began to notify every cell in the body to resist Ah Yun's decision under severe pain, and Ah Yun hid her face and fell to the ground after less than three impacts.
Blood ran down the messy hair, slid down his cheeks, and touched the corners of his mouth. What a disgusting taste...... Ah Yun lay on the ground in a daze, she covered the wound with her hand and curled up again.
……
…………
Fortunately, she escaped, although her current life cannot be said to be particularly good, but it can be regarded as a phased progress. Ah Yun changed the wooden spear to another hand, wiped the sweat from his palm, and continued to walk towards the edge of the rainforest.
She stretched out her spear and probed her way, first clearing the grass to confirm the situation, and then slowly walking forward. Every step is done with great care and conscientiousness.
The fragrant and hot breath became stronger and stronger, and bubbles floated in the wind and exploded on the tip of Ah Yun's nose. The familiar noise grew louder and louder, and Yun instinctively felt scared, the days she spent in the rainforest were too deep for her to put her mind in order immediately.
Walk along the edge first, to the trickle where Tiso had taken her, and she could bring some food back to eat.
However, Ah Yun is still a little too novice, walking in the higher grass is very physically demanding, and she is always cautious and nervous, and she has already begun to breathe before she has walked half a kilometer. The ground in the grass is inherently there
"Huh......" She held a wooden spear and stood crooked in the grass to rest, looking like a middle-aged person who was so tired that she couldn't walk in the rest area of the scenic spot. It was still early, Ah Yun snorted a few times, pulled out the grass around him a little, and then stepped on it, and sat down in the artificial depression to rest.
She took out a thin slice and a few fruits from her waist bag, quickly threw them into her mouth, chewed them and swallowed them to replenish her strength. The surrounding grass is like a natural curtain, enclosing the clouds in the airtight. Coincidental things also happened...... Not long after Ah Yun sat down to rest, a voice came from a distance.
It's loud, like a call to a companion. Ah Yun could understand a little, and he was basically saying, "Over there, that's right, in the cave." Ah Yun thought for a moment before slowly probing, she could only show her eyes and look in the direction of the sound, near the giant bone remains, two tall natives were waving into the rainforest.
It didn't take long for another person to come out, and that person Ayun knew, one of the guys who had had a brief conflict with Tisso before.
When they converged, their voices became quieter, and Ah Yun couldn't hear them. But "in the cave" she inevitably connected with herself, and after the three of them converged, they began to walk in the direction of the green slope. It must be to go to her.
Ah Yun panicked, should she be glad she had decided to explore the rainforest, or should she regret not bringing all the important things out of the cave? Her coat accumulates everything she has...... What are the group going to do in her cave? Ah Yun didn't dare to think about it, it was all negative anyway.
Are these people from the same settlement as Tisso? There is no uniformity in the dress, and the same is true in skin color and appearance. If it's a person from a hostile settlement, it's too much to say, it's understandable that you have to enter someone else's territory because of chasing injured prey before, so what is it to walk around leisurely like a park in broad daylight?
But what...... It is also not ruled out that the settlement of Tisuo is actually a relatively weak settlement, so the enemy can only swallow his anger when he enters the territory to hunt or walk. It doesn't make sense, but last time Tisuo reached out and pushed one of those people, and they didn't seem to dare to resist Tisuo.
The social structure of these savages is a mystery......
She retracted into the depression and hid, what should she do? Is the group really going to her cave, or does it happen that there are other caves in that direction?
Ah Yun knew that he was a deformity to these wild people, a strange and even a deviant of religion, but now he thought about whether it was too late to kill her...... No, it's not too late.
At first, she didn't pose any threat to the wildlings or hinder their lives. But it's different now, Tisso...... That's right, Tisso.
Judging by Tisso's body and sense of movement and strength, Tisso must be an excellent hunter in the settlement, but what has Tisso done in the last few days? Ran to her three times and twice! The encounter on the other side of the bones must have been the same the other day, and it must have been the same people who warned Tisuo not to do his job.
What now? Tiso didn't come home at night, and got carried away with her on the green slopes. If Ayun is in the religious beliefs of the locals, it is equivalent to some kind of deformed and ominous thing that should not appear in the ethnic group...... Then her situation may have really become dangerous because of her own bargaining.
Why don't the obedient and powerful hunters in the settlement stop obeying orders? Because he was tempted by the deformed demon girl in the cave. In order to save the hunter from the hands of the demon girl, the only way to completely eradicate the demon girl is to completely eradicate the demon girl!
Not...... Never mind. After finishing the script, Ah Yun suddenly became free and easy.
They already knew where they lived, and her coordinates were exposed from the start. Now when I come to the door, I can only blame myself for not doing things well enough. Glad that I am not in the cave now, personal safety is the most important thing.
The food was important to her in the cave, but she had mastered how to pick and make it, and they would take it and make it again. Fences and wooden gates too. The only pity is the coat and some modern things, although these things are not of much use, and for Ah Yun like a small spiritual pillar.
But take it, take it, she's fine.
The trickier question might be whether she can go back to the cave tonight? It had to be returned, and it was impossible for the locals to stay out all night, even if Tisuo was clamoring to go back after only one night, proving that it was customary to return to the settlement at night.
They won't find anyone or they'll definitely go back after making trouble. Ah Yun comforted himself, the big deal is the same as before, find a tree hole in the rainforest or find a tall tree branch to sleep in for the night, and go back tomorrow morning. After resting, Ah Yun began to follow the route he had made before, and continued to move forward first.
Dozens of minutes later, she came to the entrance where she fetched water yesterday, and the reason why she remembered it so clearly was because when she came before, Ah Yun made a mark on the edge of the rainforest, and she made a small mark on a certain tree. Follow this tree into the rainforest, go straight for the rope for a hundred steps, and her eight hundred steps should be able to see a trickle.
As she walked, she was still looking for a suitable tree hole or branch to spend the night. The dense woods and the explosion of huge ferns slowly receded, and Ah Yun walked among them like a toy figure in a miniature landscape that had been put into the green belt, and the strong roots of the trees rose from the earth like the back of a crocodile in a swamp, and on top of it was covered with a thick layer of moss.
The moss in the rainforest is so thick and full that when Ah Yun steps on it, he will travel a footprint puddle. The bugs were scurrying around, and she had to wield a wooden spear to keep them away, and by the way, she stabbed several strange bugs the size of her feet. Ah Yun plucked the tentacles or tentacles of their silhouettes? Carrying it into the bag feels like it will come in handy one day.
After continuing to walk forward for about three hundred steps, Ah Yun found a thick tree, about three meters above the ground, there was a tree hole, the size of which she could get into, but she didn't know how big the space was. Ah Yun circled the tree twice, and she couldn't hold the trunk of this tree alone, so if she could squeeze into the hole in the tree above, it would be absolutely fine for one night.
First of all, it is necessary to see if there are any aborigines in this cave. Ah Yun stuck the wooden spear on the ground, rubbed her hands, hugged the trunk of the tree like a monkey and used her hands and feet to move up, these three meters were not particularly difficult for her, and she came to the mouth of the tree hole in ten minutes. There was a strong earthy smell in the tree hole.
The space is quite large, and then the sunlight that slanted into it looked at the bottom of the tree hole, and then looked at the top, a little height of about one meter, quite big. There was a lot of sedimentary soil in it, and there were also some small weeds. There may be animal droppings in the deposited soil, but it is all a long time ago, and there is no new one.
It is a tree hole that has been abandoned for some reason, probably because the hole is too large to be inhabited by small animals that need to be hidden. Ah Yun returned to the ground in twos and threes, and he will live here tonight.
She herself was a little amazed at her ease, what should I say...... After living in Green Slope for a while, my mentality has changed a little! I finally adjusted the frequency of my radio waves so that I wouldn't cry and scream that I was going to crash into a tree and die as soon as I entered the rainforest.
She began to collect materials around with her hands and feet, and made a simple door to cover the hole in the tree, which she had often done before, but at that time, because the human brain was still tattered, she would just use large leaves to knead the bar and knead it into a ball, like a napkin to cover the mouth of a Coke bottle.
Now it's different, she wants to make a simple door that is practical and sturdy above the horizon!
First of all, leaves, sticks, and vines are naturally an essential combination, they are very common in the rainforest, so it didn't take much effort for Ah Yun to get enough materials.
According to the size of the tree hole, Ah Yun folded the wooden stick in half and split it by about 20 centimeters, which is just the length and width enough to pass through the tree hole.
After the sticks are arranged, they are sewn like clothes, one stitch outside and one inside, through the top of the broadleaf, and then the lower end of the broadleaf is also passed through the stick.
Similar to a leaf scroll, the top and bottom are left and right, and the leaves are like a canvas, framed by four wooden sticks, but this is not strong enough, and the contact point of each wooden stick will be fixed by thin vines in a few circles. A leaf frame is ready......
Ah Yun tied the picture frame with vines, then tied it around herself a few times, and came to the entrance of the tree hole again with the picture frame on her back, she took off the leaf picture frame door on her back, tilted the angle slightly, and stuffed it into the tree hole, she adjusted the direction with her hand, and covered the tree hole from the inside.
It was perfect!
