Their goal is to find a place to take a break and spend the night safely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A cave is undoubtedly the best choice, of course, if you don't have one, you can also choose a tree hole or a dense canopy as a shelter, but this is a relatively risky one, and can only be used as a preparatory plan.
First of all, the habitat should be in a dry location as much as possible. Secondly, because bonfires are lit at night to prevent the bites of insects such as poisonous insects and moths that are active at night, there must be shelters around to block out the light and avoid attracting large beasts. Of course, the two of them are not afraid of ordinary beasts, but they just send some ingredients, and the key is to worry about attracting demon beasts. Finally, the view around the habitat must be open, so that the two can detect the danger in time and escape quickly.
The two of them walked straight towards the location of the mountain peak not far away, and the forest was quiet, and the light was much darker. There were no traces of the existence of any large beasts, some were just some small animals, such as various birds, hares, antelopes, monkeys and other animals, they fled far away when they saw the two of them, making people unable to catch up, and then stopped in the distance and looked at the two with curious eyes, thinking that before they came, most of them had never seen this strange creature walking upright on two legs.
The dense jungle ground is all covered with thick dead branches and leaves, and there is always a strong rancid smell in the air, and at this time it is approaching evening, the trees are spitting out their excess water, and the forest seems to be a little humid and hot, and it is beginning to drift up clouds of white mist, and it will not be long before the forest will be completely covered by thick fog.
Along the way, the two did not find any shelter for them, but they picked a wild fruit. It was a wild fruit with purple fingers, and when the two found it, there were some birds pecking at the fruit tree, and the wild fruit was obviously not poisonous, and the two happily drove those birds away and picked dozens of them. Tang Ze immediately tasted one, his eyes suddenly lit up, although this wild fruit is not very eye-catching, the taste is very good, a bit like a ripe bayberry, sweet with a slight sourness, refreshing, a mouthful of juice. The two of them just had a full meal of rabbit meat, which was just used to relieve their greasy. After eating a few of each, they continued to move in the direction of the mountain.
The mountain was not far from them, and it was only about five kilometers away. The two walked cautiously, and it took more than forty minutes to come to the foot of the mountain.
The peak is about 400 meters high, verdant and unusual, and the trees on it are also overlapping, like undulating waves on the sea in the evening breeze, and it is a bit majestic and magnificent under the light of the setting sun.
When the two searched from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, two of the three suns in the sky had slowly disappeared, which was completely different from the sun on the earth, the sun on the earth was slowly falling below the horizon, and the sun in this world has always been hanging in the sky, moving in a special way throughout the day, and their respective ranges are fixed, and in the evening they slowly dim in the sky until they disappear.
Before darkness fell, the two finally found a small cave in a mountain col, which was said to be a cave, but in fact it was just a place where three or four meters were recessed into the mountain wall, and there was still a small amount of dripping water in the corner, which could barely shelter the wind and rain.
The two of them quickly set up, first found some large rocks nearby to enclose the entrance to the cave, leaving only a hole at one end of the mountain wall for people to enter and exit, and the entrance of the cave was also covered with branches to prevent the light of the bonfire from coming out, and then found some large pieces of firewood nearby, as well as some soft grass, after all this, it was completely dark.
Back at the entrance of the cave, Tang Ze was already out of breath, he didn't want to get up when he sat down, he only felt a little weak, not because of how tired his body was, but because he was mentally tired, he was free at this time, and he just wanted to take a good rest. He patted his side with a smile and said to Li Yingqi: "When I take a break to regenerate the fire, you can also come and sit for a while." ”
Li Yingqi stood not far away, did not answer, looked at the young man in front of him with bright eyes, and a trace of apology flashed in his eyes. Soon after, she put her spear on the ground, and also came to Tang Ze's side, and sat down with her knees crossed. After a moment, he whispered, "I'm sorry......"
Tang Ze raised his hand to interrupt her words, made a "shhhh......h
The night sky is clear and clear, and there are bright moons of different colors of white, light yellow, ice blue, and light purple. The clouds floated in the sky, and the wind was illuminated by the bright moonlight. Behind the clouds, there are five vertical and horizontal and boundless Milky Way, among which the dense stars are as bright as eyes, constantly sprinkling wisps of white starlight. Beneath the canopy, there are rolling hills and forests, with waves in waves.
The summer night breeze began to carry the fresh fragrance of flowers and trees, and the boys and girls sat side by side on the ground, looking at the picturesque scenery in a daze, intoxicated, and at the same time pulling their minds far and wide......
......
......
On the verdant soft lawn, a woman held a boy and a girl in her arms, and they talked while lying and looking at the stars.
"Shadow, Ozawa, do you like these stars?......"
“...... I like it, if only I could see it every day. A crisp children's voice sounded.
The little boy seemed to be a little scared and a little excited, and from time to time he raised his head to look at the surrounding environment, and from time to time he looked intently at the beautiful scenery above his head. The little girl's eyes were bright, but the expression on her face remained indifferent, and even when the woman teased them one after another, she only occasionally answered one or two sentences, most of which were only the little boy's answers.
"Sister, mom asked you. ”
After hearing the little boy's words, the little girl's eyes flickered, and she replied lightly, "Well, it's okay." ”
The woman sighed in her heart, but a gentle smile appeared on her face: "It's beautiful, isn't it? Only in the darkest places can you see the brightest stars." If it were daytime, such a starry sky would not be visible to the naked eye. At least from this point of view, the environment we are in is not too bad......" The smile on the woman's face froze for a moment, and then she smiled again, "I know a lot of stories about the starry sky, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Chang'e Running to the Moon, the Sun God, the Child of the Moon...... Which one are you going to listen to?......
"Well, Mom, I'm going to listen to the moon's child. ”
"What about you, Xiaoying, do you want to listen to this?"
"Hmm. ”
The woman began to laugh and tell the two children the story of a boy who was abandoned by his parents and then adopted by the moon. As the story progressed, the little boy's hands on his chest clenched tightly, while the little girl looked at the starry sky above her head without saying a word, just listening quietly.
As she spoke, the woman fell silent and began to sob.
The little boy seemed a little at a loss, and hurriedly comforted awkwardly: "Mom doesn't cry, Mom doesn't cry, you said, we can't cry......" He stopped thinking about it, and then said to the woman: "Mom, you are the moon, we are your children......"
The woman's body shook and slowly stopped crying, but she hugged the two children tighter.
Under the starry sky, in the starlight like water, on a small lawn, a woman holds two children, looks at the stars, and tells the story of the child of the moon.
I don't know how long later, the little boy hugged the woman violently and cried, and the little girl's eyes seemed to be a little moist, and tears accumulated in her eyes, but they never dripped down......
