Chapter 12 Water Sources
When he woke up, Kurokawa felt that something was not quite right.
Not just physically, but mentally too.
If I have to describe it, it is probably a feeling of being locked up for a long time, and suddenly one day being untied due to an accident, and the whole body is extremely refreshing and full of vitality.
I just slept for a while, but I felt like I had been reborn and the world became more beautiful.
The thought went through his mind quickly, and without thinking deeply, he stretched, looked down, and was stunned.
A huge hole appeared in the covering of the grass and leaves on the chest, and the traces on the edges of the grass and trees seemed to have been burned.
Subconsciously glanced around, there was no trace of any wild beasts under the tree, there was no smell of birds next to the branches, there was nothing around, not even insects, it could be said that he was absolutely right.
But leaves and shrubs...... Not only that, but even the weeds are yellow-green, with some signs of withering, even if it is late autumn, how can the trees in this mountain turn yellow so easily...... But it's not easy to say, and it's not a strange thing.
Looking up at the sun, he narrowed his eyes.
Impossible. Shaking his head, Kurokawa couldn't help but want to admire his imagination, how could it be that the sun burned.
Feeling a little itchy in his lungs, he coughed a few times and sighed.
Compared to the fact that it was the sun, he still thought that it should be the core ghost, maybe he wanted to bask in the sun, so he deliberately burned something to cover it?
Kurokawa succeeded in guessing the truth, but it didn't really work.
After resting and preparing for a while, it's time to go.
Jumping off the branch with the package, since there were no packages and troubles to deal with, it took Kurokawa less than ten seconds to prepare everything that needed to be prepared, picked up the package, and walked directly towards the side where the sun was rising.
Although it is not known how far it is, it can be seen from the gradually decreasing mountains and the increasing number of valleys and hills that he has gradually detached himself from the deep mountains and come to the so-called border between the West Mountains and the Central Plains.
This position, even if you meet other people, it is not a strange thing, after all, it is late autumn, the beasts are fat and strong, and the senses have become dull, hunters will choose this time to enter the jungle and hills to look for prey, in fact, the general hunters hunt in this position, like Yunmu Village and other small villages in the deep mountains, into the depths of the mountains to hunt, is a dangerous behavior that makes people shake their heads.
At present, there is nothing useful left in Kurokawa's package, except for a water bag that is almost out of water.
Some coins, pieces of metal, dry food, some books that remained, rope and some exotic plants, that was all there was in the package.
Maps, jade slips, and knives for cutting flesh were carried with them, tied securely around their waists with ropes, and covered with grass and wood clothing.
The demon's crystal was also carried with him after considering it, although it seems to be useless now, but such a large piece of hard pure round crystal must be worth a lot of money, and it will be a good thing to sell or collect it when the time comes, and if you throw it away now because of the inconvenience of carrying, you will definitely regret it later.
As for why these things are brought, the coins are for emergencies, so as not to spend money and not have a penny when they enter the borders of the new dynasty, and the metal pieces are actually large metal plates that are condensed after the coins have been melted, maybe what is the use, after all, it is metal, much harder than wood and stone. The dry food is oil cake and jerky, I ate a lot last night, the jerky is gone, the oil cake is about the amount of a meal left if I save some food, and the books are all messy things, from history to geography, from herbs to practice, everything, all of which Kurokawa rescued from the ruins.
The rope was extra when I was making clothes before, about two or three meters long, and now it is used to tie it to the package and tie it tightly. As for those strange plants, after Kurokawa's previous personal testing, they are all similar to seasonings, some taste spicy and sweet, some taste closer to the combination of chili pepper and cumin, spicy and delicious, but one thing is not very good, that is, all the ingredients have a very astringent bitter taste, and after entering the mouth, the tongue will be paralyzed, otherwise, these plants are indeed perfect spices and seasonings.
On the way, he found some dry branches and blades of grass, and collected them and put them in his bag - these were the materials for making a fire, and last night there was not much left of dry food, and it happened that Kurokawa had heard from the merchants that there was a river or lake near the east side, and he was going to catch some fish to roast and eat, and by the way to dispel the chill at night.
The reason why he didn't make a fire before was because there was no need to drive away frightened animals, and there was no food that needed to be cooked, and mosquitoes couldn't bite his skin, so there was no need for this, but the weather has gradually cooled recently, although the sun is still scorching, but at night, the temperature has dropped very much, and yesterday was in the center of the meteorite crash site, so I didn't feel how cold, but I had to pay attention to it from today.
Even if it is not invaded by the cold and heat, but if you can be comfortable, it will be comfortable, it has nothing to do with willpower, the main thing is that no one will be stupid enough to find hardships by yourself, and penance is not such asceticism, not to mention that he is not an ascetic.
The weather is getting drier, but Kurokawa doesn't feel too hot, and even under the scorching sun, it still feels a little comfortable, but the dryness and lack of water are a difficult problem to solve.
No matter how unafraid of heat, water will evaporate in the same way.
It stands to reason that water and lakes are located in low areas, and if you are in a mountainous area, you just need to keep going downhill to find it sooner or later......
Standing on the top of the tree, looking into the distance, Kurokawa couldn't help but be a little suspicious of his experience in his previous life, and now that he had been looking for almost an afternoon, he hadn't found a water source yet.
Without rain, without water, how can these trees live? I couldn't help but complain in my heart, Kurokawa felt that this thing was really abnormal.
By now, having drunk all the clean water, he had almost given up the idea of taking a shower in a place where there was water and catching a fish for dinner, as long as there was a place that could provide water that didn't matter whether it was clean or not, and let him replenish his water.
Anyway, his stomach has been transformed, no, it's not just the stomach, it seems that the entire digestive system has been thoroughly strengthened, and now it's not dirty water, even if it's ink poison, as long as it contains water, he can absorb it, and then discharge toxic and useless substances to ensure his own safety.
Even if he eats soil, he can supplement calcium.
Whether it's evil or not is disgusting is another matter, and it doesn't matter if you're thirsty to the extreme.
Coming down from the trees and continuing to look for water in the sun, there is not a lot of shelter in the mountains and forests, and there are not many opportunities for direct sunlight, but if you want to walk faster, you can't stay under the trees, you have to go out into the open space.
Even for the sake of a wide field of vision, Kurokawa has to go up the trees from time to time and be baked by the sun.
However, it seemed that the time was turning, and he suddenly found good news as he walked. Since leaving the mountain area, coming to this low-lying area, rooted in the forest on the white rocks, the surrounding trees began to have some green vines, for the old hunter and the axe, but there is little clean source of water, as long as it is cut, you can drink some slightly bitter grass-flavored water, although not much, but can quench your thirst, not to mention that this vine is not only one, at least half of the trees that can be seen around have a bunch of such vines.
Naturally, there must be some toxins in this water, a long time ago, Kurokawa, who drank this water for the first time, pulled his stomach several times, and was ridiculed by the old hunters who traveled with him, but now it is naturally needless to say, this little toxin can not threaten his body at all, and he can even easily see through the body of this toxin with the help of the core, which is a trace substance that stimulates gastrointestinal peristalsis, and if you fight poison with poison, it can also treat constipation.
However, the most important thing is not this.
Squeezing out all the water from the vines, Kurokawa's eyes became sharp again after quenching his thirst.
There must be a large amount of water around this vine, and although it is not known whether it is clean or not, it can only grow when a large amount of water is generated.
Deep in the mountains behind the village, there is a spring that is occupied by wild beasts and monsters all the year round, and at that time, Kurokawa could not risk death to go in to get water, so he could only look for this vine around to quench his thirst, and it has always been.
So he was quite familiar with this plant.
However, the excitement of being able to encounter the water source immediately dissipated when Kurokawa climbed to the top of the tree again.
Because when you look down from the top of the tree, you don't see any rivers or lakes.
He was a little incredulous, because according to the traveling merchants who had come to their village before, there was indeed a water source in this place, and it seemed to be a fact...... However, he couldn't remember whether he was talking about a river or a lake, after all, it was not a very important thing, he could only remember that there was a water source in the east......"
Thinking about it again, Kurokawa felt that things had not yet reached the worst time, after all, the water problem had actually been solved, and now the reason why he was still haunted was just because he was tired of eating jerky and oil cakes, and wanted to eat some river fresh to improve his food, and now that his hopes were shattered, he was naturally a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps, the source of water is not a river but a spring, just like the back mountain in the past, which was hidden by the woods. The average person can't see it.
Reassuring himself, Kurokawa guessed the reason, knowing that for some reason, there were many mountain springs near this mountain range, and there was relatively little river water.
At least in the area around Yunmu Village, I don't know if the same is true in this hilly area.
However, after relieving the problem of thirst, another problem awaited to be solved.
Where's dinner?
Generally speaking, the inhabitants of the mountains only eat two meals a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, or one in the evening, but Kurokawa is different, even three meals a day in the previous life are not enough to meet his needs, basically, as long as there is meat and it tastes good, he will definitely have an appetite to eat, and he will not get fat.
Since last night, he can be said to have not finished his grains, and by now, he has a strong feeling of discomfort - his stomach is constantly cramping and rubbing, and his feet are a little weak.
The rest of the dry food, he really didn't want to move at all until the last moment, as a person who has high requirements for food, he would never eat any kind of tasteless stone-flavored oil cake until the critical moment!
Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, Kurokawa took control of his body and slowly stopped the spasms in his stomach.
But in the middle of it, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked excited.
Then, without hesitation, he leaned down and pressed his ears to the ground, on the hard rock, listening for all possible vibrations.
I felt it when I had just calmed down, and the vibration ......
Carefully distinguished, and then, Kurokawa couldn't help but smile a little.
The river, that's the shaking of the river waves!
