Chapter 10: The Blossoms
"Water is such a good thing, if you don't have it it will die of thirst, and if you have too much it will drown. Li Fei sighed while cautiously looking at the stream in front of him, although the thirst made him lose his mind, but he still cautiously observed the surrounding environment, after all, there is only one life, and he is still in this dangerous environment. Looking at the half-human-tall weeds on the bank of this stream, it is estimated that it is not a problem to hide a wild boar or something, and if you don't look carefully, the consequences will definitely be serious.
I feel that the neighborhood is quite safe, listening to the distant birdsong and beast cry as if it is not nearby, it should be some distance from here, I knocked the grass nearby with a cowhide stick, and then Li Fei chose a flat shore and squatted down to hold the water and drank it, at this time I can't care about drinking boiled water, it is already good to drink water, just imagine the Long March 25,000, horse urine also has to be used as fairy milk, not to mention that this stream is crystal clear, and there are small fish shuttling from time to time, it is estimated that the problem is not big. After drinking several handfuls in succession, he felt that he couldn't drink anymore, so he washed his face twice more and then washed the dusty cowhide stick up and down.
At this time, I was in the mood to carefully look at the surrounding environment, a small stream about one meter wide was on the edge of the forest, flowing out of the invisible place behind the cliff in front of me, measured it with a cowhide stick, it was estimated that it was half a meter deep, Li Fei picked up a few empty snakeskin bags and cleaned them, filled two pockets of water, carefully tied them and hung them around his waist, there was not much snake meat left, he ate two pieces, and there were two bags of snake meat that should have fallen when he tripped over a dead branch in the forest, after all, this was just a simple burden, and Li Fei didn't care too much.
People are often like this, what is too easy to get is subconsciously not valued, and what is obtained with great effort and twists is cherished and cherished. Therefore, there are always some people who like to chase those things that cannot be obtained, and the more they can't get it, the more they can't stop the desire to become more and more itchy, such as becoming an immortal, becoming an ancestor and becoming a Buddha, or pursuing the ethereal immortal path in order to live forever.
Maybe someone has succeeded, but in reality, in Li Fei's limited knowledge, I haven't found anyone who can live from ancient times to the present, of course, there will always be a group of people who say, 'Hear how so-and-so drops', maybe there are really immortals, they will open a body after they have achieved cultivation... Then they went to the collective hidden cultivation, but what they heard was not as good as what they saw, and what they saw was not necessarily true.
No matter what happened to his predecessors, Li Fei only had one idea at the moment, jumping into the water in front of him to take a good show, looking at the clear stream, smelling the delicacy of wild flowers, blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining, on such a hot day, sweating all day, but not taking a bath for several days in a row, it was really unimaginable torture. People's subconscious, as well as the self-suggestion, will always keep teasing your heart inadvertently, just like Li Fei just had the idea of taking a bath, he began to feel uncomfortable all over his body, and he couldn't help but want to jump down and take a shower regardless of it.
When the warden interrogated those prisoners, in order to obtain a confession, the torturer would let the torturer smear some honey or salt water on the palms of their hands and feet, and then let the goat (the goat's tongue is very rough) suck vigorously, and once the sucking was clean, the torturer would continue to apply honey and salt water on the soles of the prisoner's feet, until the prisoner finally died of laughter because of itching to the bones.
Li Fei still resisted the restless heart, this should be regarded as the victory of reason over the subconscious, although the itching scratched and scratched, the more he scratched, the more he scratched, he still controlled himself and continued to walk down the stream. I don't know if it's because of the abundance of aura in this world, or the withdrawal of the follow-up effect of the dragon fruit, Li Fei feels that his strength has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and the rotation between the strong bones will 'gaba gaba', maybe the exercises have been upgraded in this world, hehe, even the subversion of the three views such as spitting fire, what else is impossible.
Lifting the cowhide stick, he continued to use it to hit the grass ahead, driving away snakes, insects, rats and ants, "This trick is called 'beating the grass and scaring the snake', hehe, walking and suddenly turning around and sweeping the 'flat sand and falling geese'." Li Fei, who broke the grass leaves, seemed to be in a better mood after encountering water. "I don't know where the last direction of the stream will be, whether we can meet humans, if only there was a drifting boat, go down the river. β
The wildflowers along the way are pervasive, some exude a fresh and refined taste, and some want to play the hypocrisy of red makeup, just as the so-called: the flowers gradually want to charm the eyes, and the shallow grass can not reach the knees. Li Fei, who smelled the fragrance of flowers, danced the cowhide stick, hummed an out-of-tune melody, and followed the stream around him, all the way forward...
The stream gurgled as if it never stopped, the water seemed to gradually get deeper, the river surface became wider and wider, the hoarse voices of various animals came from afar, they rose and fell closer to each other, the birds and insects were more and more clearly visible, the water gradually became more and more rapid and flowed downward, Li Fei clenched the cowhide stick slightly, slowly slowed down, passed through the half-human-high bushes, and leaned towards the place where the sound was dense.
"Ao, is this still human, what a strange species these are. Li Fei, who was stunned, looked at the huge creatures lined up to drink water at his feet, showing an incredible expression, only to see that the largest group of people was the size of twenty elephants, only one meter long trunk, with elephant-like small ears, yes, according to its body proportions, it is small ears, four small ears the size of a fan, a tail more than ten meters long, long hooves, let's call it an elephant, there can be more than thirty heads, followed by a group of long-necked creatures that look like zebras, and two or three hundred meters away from the elephant, there is a group of red and blue enlarged wolves squatting around the eyesγ
After seeing the wolf five or six times larger than normal, Li Fei shrunk his neck, and retreated cautiously without making any sound, although looking at the terrain, he was on a small hillside, but it was only three or four meters from the ground, it was estimated that the wolf could jump up with a jump, Li Fei quietly moved back, intending to stay away from this place of right and wrong, the wolf can get along with the elephant without incident, it does not mean that they will not eat themselves, and there is a giant snake forty or fifty meters long in the distance, the forest snake. It is said that it will become a python in ten years, a python in a hundred years, and a dragon in a thousand years. Not to mention dragons, the dragons are enough to shock people's hearts, not to mention these creatures that are four or five times larger than the dragons.
Although he was wearing a snakeskin suit and eating snake meat, it was already ripe, in fact, Li Fei was afraid of snakes, and the feeling of snakes was gloomy, terrifying, and poisonous, and his scalp was numb when he looked at it.
Li Fei quietly retreated, until he had drunk the water, and then stabilized his thumping little heart, crossed the shallow river, carefully crossed the stream, bypassed the dangerous place, and walked along the edge of the cliff to the other end.
