Chapter 7: The Gu Eagle Cries
He looked around in the valley, came to the waterhole, looked at the clear water, couldn't help squatting down, took a sip of water with his hand and drank it, it was very sweet and moistened his throat, like fairy dew. The air is fresh, with a faint fragrance, and the sky is blue, and it is easy to look at it from the very far.
After staying in the valley for a while, Ye Zhaoming walked out of the valley, came to the edge of the valley about two quarters of an hour later, and was shocked to see the magnificent scene outside, such a big valley turned out to be on top of a huge mountain, and the awe arose spontaneously, looking at the steep and far-reaching mountain road in front of him, he suddenly felt that his head was big, when would he be able to go down the mountain......
The air humidity above the towering mountains is very high, there is only a small amount of snow on the ground, and there is no morning dew on the branches and leaves, which is particularly strange. Ye Zhaoming didn't feel cold, on the contrary, there was a cool aura flowing in his body.
Slowly descending, the more you walk, the more frightened you are, the soles of your feet are half a foot in the air and there are pieces of white gas, like fog and clouds, very thick, making people have the illusion of being in a fairyland.
There are a large number of secluded stone forests along the way, sometimes passing through waterholes and small lakes, and there is not a single animal on the ground, but he feels as if there are many pairs of eyes staring at him, although there is no sense of panic and danger, Ye Zhaoming still sped up his pace.
Along the way, he stopped and saw many new plants, and heard insects and birds that he had never heard before, which made him more curious about this unknown world.
For five hours, he didn't see the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, the sky was getting dark, in the mountains of this strange world, Ye Zhaoming didn't dare to risk his life in the dark night. After some effort, I finally found a cave that was not too big or small, and picked up wood and branches to cover the entrance of the cave, and fixed it fairly firmly, and I could vaguely see things outside the cave.
It was completely dark, Ye Zhaoming retreated to the innermost side of the cave, lying on the grass bed that had already been laid, and began to think about what he had experienced today, and then thought of his family and Xiao You. Thinking of that fairy-like face, looking through the gaps in the branches, looking at the bright starry sky.
A little melancholy: "Are you on the other side of the starry sky, or in another world?"
I don't know how long it took, Ye Zhaoming gradually became sleepy, and when he was about to sleep, the ground suddenly trembled, and thud... Bang... Bang... The sound came from far and near, and he was awakened at once, and he was completely sleepy in an instant.
The loud noise was dull, as if something was hitting the earth, and if you listened closely, it was quite rhythmic, like some kind of creature walking. The sound was getting closer and closer, more and more intense, the stone walls began to shake, Ye Zhaoming's heart tightened, and he secretly exclaimed: "What the hell is this, making such a big noise!"
There were stones on the top of the cave that were shaken down, and the shock was constantly intensifying, just when he thought that the cave was about to collapse, an earth-shattering roar sounded, Ye Zhaoming quickly blocked his ears, and his eardrums were about to burst...... He ran up the hill and finally disappeared.
After a while, he felt a little at ease in his heart, but at this time, a baby-like cry suddenly came from not far outside the cave, which was pitiful, and Ye Zhaoming instinctively sat up and prepared to go out.
But then I thought, how can there be babies in this deep mountain forest? Slowly sat back on the grass bed, staring out and listening carefully.
The baby's cry became desolate, which made people feel pity, Ye Zhaoming had a strong urge to go out and see what was going on, he felt itchy in his heart, but in the end he held back, felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and secretly warned himself that at this time, curiosity was very likely to put him to death.
After a long time, the crying stopped, and calm returned outside the cave, but Ye Zhaoming did not relax his vigilance, he always felt that this thing was a little weird, so he held his breath and remained motionless.
Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid running, extremely fast, but after running a distance, it stopped, and then it stopped after running for a while, repeating the action all the time, as if searching for something. A tall black shadow appeared two meters away from the entrance of the cave, Ye Zhaoming's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and with the light of the stars, he saw the appearance of that thing, and was immediately shocked.
The creature five meters away, deer-legged rat-tailed, wolf-like crocodile head, long with broad gills, chamfered on the back, long and sharp, shaped like a curved hook, about three feet, one zhang long and five feet high, its shape is strong and majestic.
It opened its fangs and mouth, its eyes showed a fierce light, and it was looking around for food, and it was clearly a fierce beast. If it found Ye Zhaoming's hiding place, it would be like an eagle pounceing on a chicken, effortlessly.
The sound of ticking water sounded at the feet of the beast, and it seemed to have just come out of the water, and when it saw that there was no movement around it, it jumped away like a shadow down the mountain without any taste.
Ye Zhaoming nervously waited for the work of the two teas, and there was no abnormal sound, so he fell asleep with confidence, and the second half of the night was quite peaceful.
When he first saw the morning light, he woke up, hurried out of the cave, and hurried down the mountain. The road did not stop for a moment, and it was another five hours, and at last he came to the foot of the mountain, and with a plop, he fell on the grass at once, and if he did not rest, he must be exhausted and collapsed to death.
After about half an hour, he struggled to stand up, his whole body aching and his legs weak. One was tired, the other was hungry, and he hadn't eaten for almost two days, only drinking some water along the way.
It was getting dark, and he had to find a place to stay and some food, and though he had already descended the mountain, he did not think that the night in the wilderness was safe.
In this way, Ye Zhaoming continued to travel far away, and every dusk he would find a cave to live in advance, and if he didn't find a ready-made cave, he built one with stones, and if there were no stones, he dug one out with branches, and went all the way, leaving caves one by one.
When he was hungry, most of them were picking wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, most of them were strange fruits that he had never seen before, but they were rich in nutrients, and he was full after eating a few.
In the space of a month, Ye Zhaoming passed through mountains, rivers, canyons and countless wildernesses, almost becoming a wild man, even he himself had this idea, but he never encountered a place where people lived, which made him a little disheartened, and he couldn't help but wonder many times: "Is there a living person in this world?"
Moving forward again, trekking through mountains and rivers, through mountains and mountains. Wake up in the morning sun, bathed in the warm sun, breathe in the fragrance of nature, and see the scenery below the mountain at a glance, but you will never get tired of seeing such beautiful scenery.
In the direction he had been moving forward, and when he was about to leave again, he inadvertently glanced in the right direction, stared instantly, and could not turn back.
There are two big mountains, hugging each other, their tops hidden in the high dome, the sun shining through, both mountains are the south of the mountain with light, the north side is cloudy. Ye Zhaoming has long been familiar with the direction of the sun, as far as the direction of these two mountains, from sunrise to sunset, the north side of the mountain will always be on the backlit side, and there will be no sunlight all year round.
