Prologue Chapter 66 Swallowing Yin and Yang in a Desperate Situation (4)
So, he learned from Fang Zhengkun's appearance before, picking up some dry firewood while looking for a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Looking around, I actually found a hole under a rock wall, although it was not deep, but it was enough to accommodate it. He put the dead branches he had picked up on the ground, found some dead grass nearby, lit the dead grass with a fire sickle flint, and slowly added the dead branches, and after a short time, a bonfire was raised. The night was long, and he was afraid that there would not be enough dead branches, so he went around to pick up some more, and when he felt that it was almost there, he returned to the cave.
Lying down in the cave, looking at the bonfire that kept jumping at the entrance of the cave, thinking of Fang Zhengkun, thinking of Xiao Baichuan, thinking of Cangyunhai, thinking of his deceased father, and his mother who was far away in Beiping, his heart was surging and undulating, and he couldn't sleep for a long time, and he didn't fall asleep until he was close to his son.
When I woke up the next day, I saw the morning light shining into the hole, and I remembered the pill I had to take every morning, and I thought: I didn't take the pill yesterday, and there is nothing abnormal in my body, and I didn't take the pill today, and everything is still normal. It seems that the old way is really bluffing me, and I am not poisoned at all. Thinking of this, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he no longer has to worry about the cold poison in his body, he is in a barren mountain and wilderness, and he can't wrap his stomach, if he doesn't go down the mountain as soon as possible, maybe he will really starve to death on the mountain. Nowadays, the only way to do this is to travel more and rest less, and the more you walk, the closer you are to the foot of the mountain, the easier it is to meet people. While thinking, I sat up. When I sat up, I felt lightheaded, my eyes were glazed, and my limbs were limp and I couldn't exert the slightest strength. He didn't get water and rice for a day and a night, and he rushed to the mountain road for a day yesterday, and now his strength has been exhausted.
Xu Pu said secretly: No, no matter what, I have to continue to go down the mountain, otherwise, I am afraid that I will starve to death on this mountain. So he struggled to get up, holding on to the rock wall to get out of the hollow, stepping on the grass and rocks, and staggering down the mountain.
He wanted to travel more and rest less, but after struggling to walk forward for half an hour, he felt that the world was spinning, his hands and feet were shaking, his body was sweating for a while, and his eyes were black for a while. Xu Pu realized that the situation was not good, and if he continued to walk, he was afraid that he would faint from exhaustion.
So he sat down on the ground and rested against a rock with his eyes closed.
At this time, he was exhausted, confused, and did not know whether he was asleep or awake. After being so groggy for a while, Xu Pu suddenly heard a slight footstep in a haze. Xu Pu hurriedly opened his eyes, and in the haze, he saw a small figure not far away, staggering towards this side.
When I looked closely, I saw a young child, only three or four years old. The child was chubby, naked, with white skin and snow, barefoot, and a pigtail with a skyrocketing pestle on his head. Because of his young age, he walked staggeringly, giggling as he walked this way.
All the way to Xu Pu's approach, he bent down and looked down, giggled for a while, staggered and turned around.
Xu Pu was overjoyed that he finally met someone, although he was just a child, his family must be nearby. As long as I follow him, I will definitely see his family, and as long as I see his family, I will be considered alive. Thinking of this, Xu Pu struggled to stand up and walked forward behind the child.
The boy was young and faltering, but he walked surprisingly fast, and he giggled as he calmly searched his way through the rocks, without pausing, as if he was very familiar with the way.
Xu Pu was weak, his legs were weak, and he couldn't keep up with him, so he shouted: "Little brother, you slow down, wait for me for a while!" The child didn't speak, but kept walking forward, and once he saw Xu Pu landing too far, he would stop and wait.
After walking straight for half an hour, they entered a pine forest. Now, Xu Pu couldn't walk anymore, sat down on the ground against a pine tree, stretched out his hand to greet the child in front of him, and said, "No, I really can't walk, let's rest for a while, and then continue walking." ”
When the boy saw that he had stopped, he turned around and beckoned to him, as if urging him to move forward. Xu Pu saw him urging, and said in his heart: After walking for so long, it must be almost here, and I am holding on for a while. While thinking, he struggled to his feet, picked up a pine branch on the ground as a crutch, and continued to walk with the child.
Walking not far away, there was a faint sound of water in front of him, and Xu Pu was overjoyed: as long as there is water, there is something to eat. Even if I don't have anything to eat, as long as I have water, I can survive a little longer. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel refreshed, and my hands and feet seemed to have strength, and I quickened my pace and walked forward.
After walking the tea time, I turned a huge rock, and the sound of water suddenly became loud. When Xu Pu looked closely, he saw a waterfall rushing down from the top of the rock in front of him and falling into the pool below, making a rumbling sound that was deafening. A crystal clear stream flows out of the pool and down the mountain.
Xu Pu strode into the stream, leaned over and buried his head in the stream, and drank several sips of it.
After a few mouthfuls of water, Xu Pu suddenly had the spirit and raised his head to find the child. The boy giggled and laughed and followed the stream to the edge of the pool, and then to the bottom of the waterfall.
Xu Pu was shocked, this child walked staggeringly, if his feet slipped and fell into the water, it would be very bad. So he came up from the stream, and chased after him, shouting, "Hey, little brother, be careful, and don't fall into the water." ”
The boy turned a deaf ear and walked all the way to the waterfall, and walked straight into it without stopping until it came near.
Xu Pu watched from behind and couldn't help but be stunned: How did he walk into the waterfall? After thinking about it, he realized that the back of the waterfall must be empty. But how could he, a child, know that the waterfall was empty? Could it be that the family lived behind the waterfall?
Driven by curiosity, Xu Pu also followed the edge of the waterhole to the bottom of the waterfall. If you look closely, you can see that the white water is rushing down into the pool below, and you can't see the inside of the waterfall at all. He stood in front of the waterfall and cried out twice, "Little brother, little brother!" but the sound was completely muffled by the sound of the water, and he could not hear it himself.
Xu Pu hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his heart sideways and rushed straight towards the waterfall. I only felt a great force rushing down from above, and my body was suddenly soaked, and then my body was light, and my eyes suddenly opened up, and when I looked closely, the back of the waterfall was really empty, it was a cave the size of half a room, and the light was dim inside, the humidity was pressing, and it was covered with moss, but there was no one, and I didn't see the child.
