Chapter 57: Overnight Stay
Lin Chunxi saw the wreckage in the river, and felt a little sad in his heart, along the way, he got along with the Miao brothers day and night, life and death together, and the person who was still laughing together just now was buried in the belly of the fish in the blink of an eye. These Miao people followed themselves to take risks, and now they have given their lives, which makes Lin Chunxi feel very uncomfortable, he doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again, but in the dense forest full of dangers, no one can guarantee that it will not appear again, maybe the next one will be his turn.
Lin Chunxi looked at the depressed people, walked up to the team leader and the old Miao doctor, and said, "Let's go back, we will go on our own for the rest of the way, you don't have to take your life for us."
When the team leader heard this, his face suddenly sank, "What do you think of us Miao people, we are not afraid of death, and what Miao people have promised others must do."
The old Miao doctor's tone was a little heavy, but he still insisted on saying, "Maybe we all have to die in the swamp, but death is not an excuse for us to break our promises, and we are also very sad about the death of a few of them, but the team leader brother is right, what the Miao people promised, even if they die, they must persevere to the end." ”
Lin Chunxi still wanted to insist on persuading them, but several other Miao people also gathered around and said in a loud voice:
"We Miao people are not afraid of death, if we want to break our promise, it is better to let us die!"
"Do you look down on us, think we're in the way?"
"If we were friends, don't say that again"
...
At this time, Bai Ling also came over and said to Lin Chunxi and the others, Zhengse said, "My people and I are not greedy for life and afraid of death, what the Miao people promised, we must do it, otherwise even if we go back, we will be ridiculed by others and will not be able to raise our heads for the rest of our lives."
Lin Chunxi was very moved, no longer continued to argue, nodded heavily at the Miao people, and then bowed, Luo Yifei and other brothers also stood behind Lin Chunxi and saluted respectfully to everyone.
The bodies of the three men could no longer be contained, so the Miao people had to put their clothes together, leaving some for their families to use as relics, and then lit a fire and burned all the other belongings as a sign of mourning.
Seeing the fire burning, the Miao people shed sad tears, and Lin Chunxi and the others also mourned in silence for a while.
After a simple inventory of the packs, everyone set off again, but due to the presence of bone-eating fish, they could not cross the river normally. For the sake of safety, they chose to take a detour, and when they were in the process of finding their way along the river, the evil fish in the water followed them, all of them maintained a neat posture, and they were always facing everyone, and everyone had learned the horror of this fish, and there were still some lingering palpitations in their hearts.
The river was not deep, but it was very long, and the bone-eaters followed it all the way, which gave everyone a headache.
Finally found a shoal, the bone-eater did not dare to get out of the river, so they did not follow, and the group took this opportunity to cross the small river full of dangers, but the time was already close to evening.
The leader of the team was a little worried, because according to the current speed of action, it must be impossible to cross the mountain tonight, and it seems that he needs to prepare to camp at the foot of the volcano.
Everyone found a higher place, one is to prevent mosquitoes, snakes and ants from harassing, the other is to get a better vision, after everything is arranged, everyone began to bury the pot to cook, the continuous rush has made everyone very tired, all the way to fight and escape and let everyone physically and mentally exhausted, and then experienced the pain of losing their companions, everyone rarely spoke, simply ate some dry food.
The leader of the team ordered people to make some porridge, put some herbs in the porridge, and told everyone that the miasma in the swamp would harm the human body, and they must eat more herbs to force the poisonous gas out of the body.
Bai Ling brought a big bowl of steaming rice porridge and handed it to Lin Chunxi. Lin Chunxi was in a very heavy mood at this time, he didn't know what Tao Ye's situation was now, and he didn't know how far he would have to go to find the immortal grass, three people had already died in the team, and it was not good to say what danger was waiting for the group behind.
Lin Chunxi took the rice porridge and said thank you softly, Bailing Lin Chunxi drank the rice porridge one by one, seeing that his mood was a little better, he comforted him not to worry too much, and said that the mountain god would definitely bless the group.
Night had fallen, and the swamp had fallen into silence again, and the foot of the volcano was quiet except for a few cries of unknown beasts.
However, after several adventures, no one dared to say that tonight would be safe, the team leader arranged the order of the vigil for everyone, and the old Miao doctor sprinkled all kinds of medicinal powders around the camp to prevent the infestation of poisonous insects. Everyone had lost their spirits and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, perhaps because of a small river nearby, a thin layer of fog rose near the camp, and due to the high position of the temporary camp, it was not affected for the time being, but the situation below the camp could not be seen realistically.
In the swamp, the inability to see the situation in front of you will make people's hearts full of fear, and the night watchman does not dare to be careless, and tries to restrain his sleepiness, and always maintain a high degree of vigilance.
Changed to Lin Chunxi and Bai Ling on duty, Rao was in the middle of summer, the swamp was still a little cold, Bai Ling's skills were weaker, and his clothes were a little thin, so he didn't rub his hands to keep warm. After Lin Chunxi saw it, he put on his coat to Bai Ling, and Bai Ling's face was flushed, because the light was dim in the night, so Lin Chunxi didn't notice the strange appearance on Bai Ling's face.
The night of the swamp was quiet and terrible, I don't know how many dangers were still hidden in the dark, maybe there were terrible monsters staring at him and his companions at this time, thinking of this, Lin Chunxi's heart was even more uneasy.
Suddenly, Lin Chunxi faintly heard a few strange noises in the distance, which seemed to be more than just one place, which made Lin Chunxi suddenly alert, Bai Ling didn't seem to hear anything, but looking at Lin Chunxi's nervous state, his heart was also pinched.
Gradually, the sound became louder and louder, coming from far and near, but it seemed to stop not far away, but then there was the sound of "whooshing" water, Lin Chunxi was shocked, thinking that something was trying to cross the river, no matter what the situation was, he had to go and find out.
Thinking of this, Lin Chunxi asked Bai Ling to wake everyone up and prepare everyone for battle, and then carried his sword alone and went to inspect.
Bai Ling wanted to tell him to be more careful, but before the words could be spoken, Lin Chunxi's figure had disappeared into the mist.
