Chapter 12: The Lake of Hope

When Lin Tao wandered around the Black Forest for about three weeks, his will was on the verge of collapse, and this time it didn't mean that he could persist if he wanted to. The synergy of various factors made his life very difficult.

Food, water, tiredness, no end in sight, etc.

No matter how determined he was, he still couldn't hold on after such a long trek without having eaten a good meal. He felt that he couldn't lift up any strength in his whole body, which didn't mean that he could do it with his true qi. His bodily functions had been destroyed, and he had been exhausted and exhausted from his half-month savage-like life.

"Damn, I just can't walk anymore, and I'm fed up with these shit days. Die or die, at least let me sleep well before I die. Lin Tao said weakly in a low voice.

As the last barrier of will was breached, he stepped out no matter what, and finally his whole body lost its center of gravity, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground.

Lin Tao's consciousness was still sober at the last moment, and what he thought was, "If I had known that I had been a Sinan to point out the direction before I entered the Black Forest, maybe it wouldn't have been like this." Then his consciousness drifted away......

Just when Lin Tao passed out, the little dot in his arms seemed to sense that Lin Tao's current situation was not good, opened his eyes slightly, and then whispered, "Woo, woo." He screamed, trying to wake up Lin Tao.

It's a pity that Lin Tao can't hear Xiao Budian's howl at all, maybe he is eating and drinking in his dreams at the moment.

Seeing that Lin Tao didn't react, Xiao Budian stopped after screaming twice, and his small body arched hard, and it took a lot of strength to get rid of Lin Tao's big hands, and then he staggered down Lin Tao's palm with a crooked step. Seeing that Lin Tao's body was still some distance from the ground, and this distance was not low for the little guy.

The little guy closed his eyes cutely, and then his whole body shrank, his head was buried in his arms, and he rolled down Lin Tao's body like a ball.

Looking at the endless Black Forest, the little guy looked to his left in some confusion, and then turned his head to look to his right. The small and cute nose sniffed gently, and then slowly walked in one direction step by step......

————————————

Lin Tao felt that he had a dream, and this dream seemed to be very long. He dreamed that he was in front of a long dining table with a lot of tempting delicacies, and Fauber stood beside him, motioning for himself to enjoy them.

So, Lin Tao couldn't wait to start tasting it......

Roast suckling pig, roasted whole lamb, steak, chicken thighs, etc., and many other pure flavors, but these are not wines, but Kyushu sake.

It can be described as devouring Lin Tao, he didn't let go of any food in front of him, and it wasn't until a long time later that he felt that his stomach could no longer eat even a little bit of food, so he stopped the cutlery in his hand. I hiccuped very much, and then lay comfortably on the chair and hummed a little tune.

"Hehe, haha!" Lin Tao let out a knowing smile, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ahh......h Qi!" Lin Tao felt that his nose was very itchy, as if something furry had penetrated into his nostrils, and after sneezing fiercely, he rubbed his nose, trying to drive away the fluffy ghost thing.

But after a few moments, he found himself in vain. The furry thing kept scratching his nose, making him sneeze two more times.

In a blur of consciousness, Lin Tao scolded fiercely in his heart, "Don't bother me, otherwise I will turn my face." ”

Unfortunately, the warning didn't seem to work, and the thing's provocation didn't stop......

When Lin Tao couldn't stand the itching anymore and slowly opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Budian with his little mouth open, sticking out his tongue, and the fluffy little tail was still hanging in his nostrils.

He couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Little thing, what are you going to do." ”

Xiao Budian screamed twice with a somewhat aggrieved "woo", and the little tail shook obediently.

"Goo, goo" Suddenly a muffled thunder came into Lin Tao's ears, and after touching his shriveled stomach, Lin Tao knew that he was screaming from hunger. I thought to myself, wasn't I eating just now, and I was very full and full, why was I hungry again after a while?

Then Lin Tao came to his senses, smiled bitterly and shook his head, it turned out that he had been dreaming just now, and he was just eating by himself in the dream, but in fact he was hungry and was about to roll. Sighing, Lin Tao came to his senses, and looked at Xiao Budian with some annoyance, "Why do you have to wake me up? Since you don't have anything to eat, it's not bad to have a full meal in your dreams, and even if you die, you don't count yourself as a starving ghost if you go to hell. ”

Xiao Budian kept wagging his small tail, looking at Lin Tao's self-pity with a wave of his hands, looking a little confused. But the next moment, it called softly twice, and after successfully attracting Lin Tao's attention, it took some immature steps and ran to the right, and after accidentally falling, it struggled to get up, and continued to run forward.

Looking at the cute appearance of the little guy, Lin Tao, who couldn't lift a little strength in his body, smiled, hugged Xiao Budian, who was running forward with staggering steps, and hugged him and laughed.

Who knew that the little guy didn't appreciate it, and struggled hard in Lin Tao's arms, as if he wanted to break free from his arms.

Lin Tao looked at the little guy a little inexplicably, and finally reluctantly raised his hand to surrender and put the little guy on the ground.

As soon as he landed, Xiao Budian continued to run forward with staggering steps, looked back at Lin Tao after running two steps, and found that Lin Tao did not move, and then turned around and ran back. He opened his mouth and bit down on the leg of his trousers, dragged him twice vigorously, and then turned around and continued to run.

At this time, no matter how stupid Lin Tao is, he probably understands the meaning of being small. Looking in the direction of the little guy's running, he wondered in his heart: "Could it be that Xiao Budian found something and signaled himself to go with it?" But looking ahead, it seemed that it was no different from the environment that he had walked in the past dozens of days. It is still the same towering ancient trees and thick fallen leaves.

Although he didn't know what the little guy wanted to express to himself, after seeing that it had run a considerable distance, Lin Tao had to muster all his strength to follow.

Along the way, the little guy stumbled, and Lin Tao was distressed when he saw it. The fallen leaves that have been backlogged for I don't know how many years, one is shallow, one is high, and Lin Tao is very wasted when he steps on it, not to mention this little guy with a big palm.

I don't know how long I ran, Lin Tao just followed Xiao Budian step by step.

Suddenly, a breath of fresh air entered his nose, and Lin Tao was instantly pleasantly surprised, it was a strong excitement from the heart, which made Lin Tao feel so happy.

That's right, there's a touch of freshness in the air. After breathing in the rotten smell for dozens of days, this little bit of freshness smells so abrupt and good at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Tao's small steps instantly changed to running.

It's the smell of water, it's the smell of lake water.

Just in front, there is a lake.

It's the Lake of Hope!

Lin Tao ran like crazy and laughed like crazy, "It's really heaven and earth, I really found the location of the Lake of Hope." At this moment, Lin Tao picked up Xiao Budian, who was staggering forward, and happily kissed the little guy a few times, with a grateful face, "Thank you, little guy, if it weren't for you, maybe this time I would have died in the Black Forest, how many years later, someone passed by and saw a pile of white bones." Haha, but now it's different, I, Lin Tao, are alive again. You are truly my lucky star. ”

Xiao Budian, who was infected by Lin Tao's joy, scratched Lin Tao with his immature front paws, making Lin Tao laugh.

When Lin Tao saw the unchanging ancient wood forest in front of him suddenly break apart, he knew that the Lake of Hope had arrived. My hard work for more than 20 days finally paid off, and I finally persevered in the extremely difficult environment and came to the Lake of Hope.

At this moment, a sense of accomplishment enveloped him. It is the joy of experiencing life and death, and it is the joy of a long drought and nectar.

When the gloomy sky suddenly disappears and is replaced by a blue sky, when the unchanging old trees disappear and the lake is replaced by a shoal, when the disgusting smell of decay disappears and is replaced by fresh air. The joy in Lin Tao's heart can be imagined, and he is the only one who has had the same experience like that.

It's like walking through the desert for a long time, there is no food, no water, your tongue has dried up blisters, and your lips have been polished by the wind and sand, and you suddenly see an oasis. That joy that comes from the heart.

At this moment, Lin Tao couldn't care about anything anymore, and ran towards the lake of hope, and the clear lake water was in front of him.
