Chapter 90: The Dilemma
The old horse carried Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi, no one rode them, and slowly passed through the Shayou Canyon after the earthquake.
Ye Feng lowered his head and lay on the horse's back, feeling pain all over his body, without any strength, he could only look at the ground under the horse, and there were large and small stones rolling down from the cliffs on both sides, almost completely blocking the canyon.
He couldn't help but feel a little glad in his heart, in the earthquake just now, they were not buried alive by these stones that fell like raindrops, it was really fateful.
At the same time, there was a trace of worry in his heart, if there was another earthquake at this moment, he was afraid that they would have to die here.
He was full of hope that the old horse would run away as soon as possible, and that they would get out of this danger as soon as possible.
However, the old horse still walked unhurriedly, and he didn't know whether he was confident, or if he had exhausted his strength by a wild run just now.
Gradually, the ground under the horse changed from a stone path full of stones to a green grass, and Ye Feng finally put his mind at ease, he knew that they had walked out of this dangerous canyon.
The grass on the ground gradually became denser, and finally, the old horse seemed to be unable to walk, and when he came to a place with lush grass, he suddenly knelt down, bowed down, and put down Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi on his back.
Ye Feng only felt that his whole body was falling apart, the pain was incomparable, and he didn't have any strength, so he could only lie on this dense grass and look up at the blue sky and the white clouds blowing by, but he also felt comfortable.
Turning his head to look at the fat man on the side, he still closed his eyes and hummed and chirped in a delirious sense, it seems that this fall really made him not light.
The old horse was leisurely nibbling on the grass on the ground, not far away, as if waiting for the two people on the ground to wake up.
Only then did Ye Feng understand why the old horse had stopped moving at the mouth of the canyon and resolutely refused to go inside. It is said that people are old spirits, ghosts are old spirits, and this old horse must also have spirituality, and he had a premonition of an impending earthquake, so he resolutely refused to step into the canyon.
Later, he was forced to be forced by Zhang Fatzi's whip, so he took the two horses behind him and galloped all the way, trying to cross this dangerous canyon as soon as possible, but the earthquake came too quickly, and he still couldn't cross the canyon in front.
Unexpectedly, the two horses in everyone's eyes were all buried in this earthquake, and in the end, the one who came back to save the two at the moment of life and death would be such a cheap old horse that no one cared about, Ye Feng really had mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, he should really thank Zhang Fat Man for buying yak meat for that mouth, and he didn't have enough money on his body, so he could only buy this skinny old horse that was tied to the corner.
If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that they would have disappeared into this canyon without a trace, and no one would even know about their death.
I don't know how long I lay down, Ye Feng felt that his body gradually gained strength, so he sat up, looking around, they had already left the canyon, and at this moment they were on an endless prairie.
At this moment, there was a loud rumbling noise from behind, and when I looked back, I saw that the direction they had come from was over the gorge, and thick clouds of smoke were billowing up, and it seemed that there must have been another earthquake.
Fortunately, they had already left the dangerous area in advance at this moment, and Ye Feng couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
At this moment, Zhang Fat Man also woke up faintly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he jumped up, and kept asking: "What's wrong? Where are we now? Are we dead?"
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel funny, and scolded him: "Even if you die fat, you can only go to hell, where is hell so beautiful?"
Zhang Fatzi turned around and saw Ye Feng, so he put his mind at ease, sat on the grass, and let out a long breath: "It turns out that we are not dead yet." It seems that it is good to follow you, a blessed fellow, and even this earthquake can't help us. ”
Ye Feng told Zhang Fatzi about the situation when the old horse turned around and rescued them from the canyon just now, and Zhang Fatzi was greatly surprised, and said in amazement: "Could it be that we inadvertently bought a horse king who has become a fine horse?"
He stood up, ran to the old horse's side, stroked the mane on the horse's back, and thanked him repeatedly.
The old horse raised his head and neighed, as if he was enjoying his petting very much.
Ye Feng looked around and asked, "Do you know where this place is?"
Zhang Fatzi looked at it with great eyes, and saw that there were scattered rocky beaches on the grassland, and in the distance, there were a few black bison grazing with their heads bowed on the one hand, and they were vigilantly looking at the uninvited guests here.
He scratched his head and said, "I heard that in the vast and sparsely populated area of Wusi Tibet, there are large areas of bison and wild cattle farms, where wild cattle and wild horses live, but there are no people, I think we should be in this kind of place." ”
Zhang Fatzi looked back at the old horse and sighed: "It's a pity that all our supplies are lost in the canyon, and I don't know if we can get out of this uninhabited place." ”
Thinking of the supplies, he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart: "It's a pity that I have those yak meats! If I had known this, I should have brought some with me, so that I wouldn't be left empty-handed now, and I don't even have emergency food." ”
He was so remorseful that he beat his chest, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh secretly, in this situation, he was still thinking about food, he almost forgot that they had just luckily climbed back from the death line.
"Anyway, let's get out of here first. After Ye Feng finished speaking, he wanted to get up and stand up.
Who knew that with this movement, there was a sharp pain in his left leg, and he couldn't move at all, so much so that he screamed in pain.
Seeing this, Fat Zhang also hurriedly ran over and asked, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
Lifting off their shirts, they saw that one of Ye Feng's left legs was already bloody at the moment, revealing Sen Sen's white bones, and when the horse fell just now, he had broken his leg.
Maybe it was because the injured leg was numb and unconscious, Ye Feng didn't feel the slightest pain before, until the moment he wanted to get up just now, he touched the injury, and then he felt a heart-piercing pain.
Facing the bloody short legs, Zhang Fat Man was a little at a loss, and his mouth was full of words: "What should I do? How is this good?" for a while, he didn't know where to start.
Ye Feng was surprisingly calm at the moment, he tore off the front of his shirt and instructed Zhang Fatzi to wrap the wound.
Since this meadow does not have trees, not even a single low shrub, he can only use the scabbard at his waist to tie it firmly to his leg and temporarily fix the injured leg.
He climbed onto the old horse's back with difficulty with the support of Zhang Fatzi, reached out and touched the old horse's face, and said: "Let's go, I just hope that this uninhabited area is not too big, and we can get out in time, otherwise it will ......."
He didn't say anything, but otherwise the result was very clear to him and Zhang Fatzi in their hearts.
In this desolate land, they now have no supplies, no food, no water, and Ye Feng is so seriously injured. If you can't find someone to help quickly, not to mention Ye Feng's leg, even the lives of the two of them, it is likely to disappear in this wilderness silently.
The old horse seemed to understand Ye Feng's words, and snored lowly,
Take a slow and steady stride forward to minimize bumps.
Zhang Fatzi couldn't tell the direction at this time, so he could only follow the horse on foot and walk slowly.
Neither of them spoke all the way.
I don't know how long I walked, the sun was gradually sinking in the west, although Ye Feng had already bandaged his injured leg, but the blood was still running down his left leg, dripping drop by drop on the road.
With the flow of blood, not only did he not have anything to eat, but he didn't even drink a sip of water, Ye Feng only felt that the strength in his body, his consciousness, and as the blood flowed drop by drop, his eyes gradually blurred, and he lay on the horse's back weakly, falling asleep.
Suddenly, he heard a cheer from Zhang Fatzi, Ye Feng barely opened his eyes, and saw that there was a waterhole on the rocky beach not far in front of him!
He seemed to have a little energy, licked his chapped lips, and was finally able to drink saliva.
But the strange thing is that although the old horse also seemed very tired, thirsty and tired, and panting for breath, he turned a blind eye to this waterhole, and even walked straight forward without stopping.
Zhang Fatzi hurriedly ran up and grabbed the horse's head, and scolded: "You stupid horse, can't you see that there is water to drink here? It seems that you are not only stupid, but also a blind horse!"
Pulling the horse, he comforted Ye Feng: "Fourth, hold on a little longer, and I'll bring you some water." ”
After saying that, he licked his lips, which were already dry, and ran towards the waterhole in a hurry.
Ye Feng faintly felt that something was wrong, he reluctantly stood up and looked at the situation around him, suddenly his face changed a little, and he used all his strength to greet Zhang Fatzi, don't drink this water.
Zhang Fatzi was holding the clear water in the pool with both hands at this time, and was about to put it into his dry and smoking mouth, when he heard Ye Feng's shout, he was stunned, but he still reluctantly gave up the clear water in his hand, and turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ye Feng nodded on the horse and stretched out his hand to point forward.
Zhang Fatzi looked in the direction of his finger, and in the grass not far from the waterhole, there was a black mass.
If you look closely, it is the corpse of a bison, I don't know how long it has been dead, and above the corpse, there are swarms of flies and insects buzzing.
Zhang Fatzi lowered his head and sniffed his hand that was stained with the water in the pool, only to feel that the water seemed to have a faint pungent smell.
It seems that this water is really poisonous!
No wonder the old horse, although tired and thirsty, turned a blind eye to this waterhole, not because it was a blind and stupid horse, but because it had already sniffed out that something was wrong with the water, and it was highly poisonous.
Zhang Fatzi was secretly glad that he didn't drink that handful of water just now, otherwise, he might have become a delicious meal for flies and insects on this grassland like this bison.
He walked up to the old horse, reached out and stroked the old horse's cheek, and whispered an apology to it.
As soon as he looked up, suddenly he let out another cheer!
Ye Feng was startled at this sound, could it be that Fat Zhang went crazy?
When he looked up, he saw the surprise on the face of the fat man, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, trembling but unable to say a word.
I can also look up, and my heart is also sinking.
At this time, it was already dark, and in front of the darkness, there was a lot of green light faintly flickering in the grass, which naturally would not be a firefly, but like a ...... Like what an animal's eyes!
Ye Feng remembered a legend he had heard, wolves!
