Chapter 4: The Mysterious Cave

After half a burnt incense, Zhang Peng and the others had already walked into the entrance of the dense forest at the foot of Qilin Peak. Unloaded the heavy bamboo baskets on their backs and stacked them at the intersection, and began to march towards the dense forest.

As soon as I walked into the dense forest, these familiar winding paths in front of me were once again displayed in front of everyone. The partners glanced at each other, let out a childish smile, and then they all dispersed, and each jumped away in one direction.

An ordinary weak figure suddenly appeared on a craggy rock, and after this figure appeared, it turned its small head commensurate with his figure, and looked around from time to time, looking extremely cautious. After a dozen breaths had passed, after making sure that there was no danger, the boy leaned against the strange rock and began to kick lightly.

This young man is none other than Zhang Peng, who was separated from everyone not long ago. And his brother Zhang Tie was not with him this time.

There is no other reason, if you say who the person in the whole village knows the most about Xishanling, I am afraid that there is no one else except Zhang Peng.

Moreover, because the time was not very sufficient, and he couldn't go too deep into the center of the jungle, his brother Zhang Tie could only helplessly let him act alone.

After resting for about a hot cup of tea on the strange rock, Zhang Peng walked towards a secret depression where he had been before.

The depression is located at the junction of the outer and central areas of the dense forest at the southeast of the mountain, and there is a small mountain stream next to it, surrounded by a few strange trees that are not commensurate with the whole dense forest.

And Zhang Peng clearly remembered that the last time he went, the wild fruit of the unknown strange tree was not yet ripe. But looking at the wild fruits on the tree, he was greedy for a while, so he picked one casually, ready to relieve his appetite.

But when his teeth just bit through the skin of the wild fruit, a sour and astringent taste immediately filled Zhang Peng's entire mouth. made him, who was unprepared for a while, almost fall directly from the tree. Now that I think about it, the wild fruits in that depression should be ripe too

"How is this possible, how has it not changed at all!"

It was Zhang Peng who made this sound, and at this time he looked at the green fruits of the tree, his eyes were as big as a cow, and his face was full of disbelief.

A month ago, he stumbled upon this depression and found this fruit tree, which made him so excited that he was soured by the fruit afterwards.

But according to his estimation at the time, after a month, the fruit of the tree should be fully ripe. But now he saw that the wild fruits on the tree were exactly the same as the last time they came, and they had hardly changed in the slightest, even the size seemed to him to be the same.

This made him, who had been living in the mountains, stunned for a while, completely distracted

"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to look somewhere else. ”

"But sooner or later, you'll be ripe, and then it'll be mine, hehe. ”

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Peng returned to his original appearance, but there was still a trace of curved crescent curvature at the corner of his mouth. After looking around, he turned around and prepared to walk out of the depression immediately, not wasting any more time here.

But at the moment of turning around, a faint red color flashed into view. His body froze as if petrified, and after a short pause, he turned around and ran towards the red at a faster speed.

When I got closer, I saw a fist-sized purple-red berry hanging from a small winding tree the thickness of a bowl, with pale silver leaves and a purple trunk.

This small tree is close to the cliff and has lush foliage. The purple berry hung alone among the treetops, obscured by the foliage. It wasn't the moment he turned around, the sunlight penetrated the leaves and happened to shoot into Zhang Peng's eyes, and it was estimated that no one would be able to find this fruit.

"It's really strange that such a big fruit tree only bears such a fruit, how do you want me and my brother to divide it. ”

Zhang Peng leaned his back against the branch of the strange tree, holding a purple-red berry in both hands.

His eyes stared straight at the fruit in his hand, and a trace of crystal water flowed from the corners of his mouth from time to time, and the whole person looked stupid and cute

"Wang, Wang, Wang" Suddenly a barking sound came from under the tree.

Zhang Peng was startled, his body shook, shook his head vigorously, and quickly recovered from the fluttering comfort.

When he looked down, he saw that seven or eight vicious wild dogs had already gathered under the tree at this time, and they were jumping up and down around his tree, barking wildly.

A layer of fine beads of sweat instantly came out of Zhang Peng's forehead and vest. The hairs also stood upside down due to extreme tension, but I didn't expect the fruit to taste too delicious just now, and I just couldn't help but lie on the tree and taste it, and I was discovered by this group of wild dogs.

"What can I do now, do I really want to be eaten by wild dogs? Zhang Peng thought in horror in his heart

In a dense forest on the west side of the West Mountain Range, Zhou Xiaoshan was lying in a bush, staring ahead without moving.

At this time, a gray-haired hare is comfortably gnawing on its youth. Suddenly, a javelin fell from the sky, and with one shot the hare was nailed to the spot;

Zhang Tiezheng was pacing cautiously in the south, leaning towards a big tree not far ahead; a colorful and beautiful pheasant was "squeaking, croaking" happily on the tree, and with a whoosh, a bow and arrow with a whirring sound of breaking through the air shot at the pheasant in a blink of an eye; after a sad squeak, the pheasant fell from the tree in a flash.

The same scene happened in five or six places on the outskirts of the West Mountain Range, but the prey in these places was lucky and escaped the doom of a small life

The sound of "vomiting" wails continued to come out from under the tree, only to see that there were originally only seven or eight wild dogs under the tree, at this time there were more than 20 of them, one by one the wild dogs saw that they could not catch and bite Zhang Peng on the tree for a long time, and suddenly the beast surname was furious, and one by one they kept jumping and rushing to the big tree where Zhang Peng was.

The "gwitching" sound came from the wild dogs that tried to jump and climb to the tree trunk and fell to the ground.

"What should I do, what should I do" Zhang Peng said to himself with a shudder, kicking over a wild dog that had just climbed on top of a tree fork, and then kicked towards another one. Drops of crystal tears, accompanied by beads of sweat the size of beans, continued to fall down his cheeks to the ground.

"I don't want to be eaten by wild dogs, where are you, brother" Crystal tears spilled out of Zhang Peng's eyes like spring water.

Mixed with bursts of sobbing sounds, the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground and the wailing sound of "vomiting", three different sounds sounded at the same time in the entire mountain stream at one time

After a few hours passed, looking at the sun gradually setting in the sky, Zhang Tie's face became extremely pale.

Because his younger brother Zhang Peng has not come back yet, everyone is guessing that Zhang Peng must have had an accident.

"Kuroko, Ersunoko must have had an accident, let's leave quickly, if we don't leave, we will all be eaten by wild beasts." Lin Ergou said to Zhang Tie with horror.

"That's right, Kuroko, let's run. Otherwise, he would have been eaten by the beast as the second dog said. ”

Everyone, you and I kept talking to Zhang Tie one by one, and Zhang Tie himself kept leaving tears except for his red eyes. He just refused to say another word, and he refused to leave the dense forest intersection for half a step.

"Kuroko, we're all very sad when something happens to Ersunoko. But look at it now, the sun is about to set, and if we don't go any further, we will all be eaten by wild beasts, as Ergou said. Maybe Futakuroko was just lost and nothing happened. Let's go home and tell Uncle Zhang first, and then go up the mountain tomorrow to find Erhezi. Zhou Xiaoshan couldn't wait any longer to persuade Zhang Tie to start persuading.

Less than a cup of tea later, Zhang Tie's heart-rending shout suddenly sounded in the mountain forest. Just now, after Zhou Xiaoshan failed to persuade Zhang Tie, everyone couldn't wait any longer, and even pushed and pulled Zhang Tie down the mountain;

Zhang Peng's already shabby but relatively complete clothes, except for a few places covering a few important parts of his body, have already turned into strips of cloth at this time, which looks bad. And under the rags, the originally smooth and delicate skin was already bloodstained at this time, and the wounds of different widths were almost all over his body.

A few hours ago, when he saw more and more wild dogs jumping up the trees to attack him in a frenzy, he no longer dared to stay where he was, and followed the intersection of the branches of several large trees.

After counting the hours, there were several thrills along the way. After losing half his life, Zhang Peng finally came to the mountainside without danger.

Now every step he takes, it takes a lot of his strength. And the tingling pain from his body made him grin even more painfully.

But even so, Zhang Peng did not give up. gritting his teeth, he kept searching for a hiding place between the mountains and forests;

A gust of wind blew, mixed with a few rough beast roars, and suddenly frightened Zhang Peng, who was already exhausted, fell to the ground all of a sudden, and rolled several times before stopping.

Then a slight sobbing sound came out of Zhang Peng's mouth intermittently again.

With a few crystal tears, it crossed the already dark face.

Zhang Peng stayed in place for more than ten breaths before he once again had a resolute face.

Gritted his teeth, he got up from where he was and began to continue looking for his hiding place.

In this way, I don't know how long later, Zhang Peng was lucky enough to find a cave on the back of the mountainside before the beast found him.

Although it was not known if there were any other beasts in the cave, he was now exhausted and had no strength left.

Unable to care about so much else, Zhang Peng decided to try his luck no matter what, so that even if he was swallowed by a wild beast, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.
