Chapter 131 Backtracking
There are often two things in life is unavoidable, one is the youth with mistakes in exchange for growth, the other is the level of sad feelings.
This is a human weakness, not a person's short board.
Thinking too obsessed, so I can not sleep, the sky has been shining.
Wake up zhebe and aza, I put Zhang Yutong's head away, hurriedly lie down to catch up sleep.
They only woke me up for dinner.
While gnawing on the grilled fish, I asked The sage: "Can you carry the water vine?"
"You can dig out the roots." "The other end is covered with wet soil," said Zheye. "This will store a lot of water, but not for a long time. As long as the water tastes different."
"Just for one day."
"It should be fine for two days."
"Then I won't run out of water this time." Zhang Yutong said happily.
"Then let's start preparing today." I said, "We'll start in the afternoon and walk to the bottom of the mountain. Tomorrow we'll start across the desert. All the kettles are filled with water. Save it for the last day. Today and tomorrow with water vine."
"If we knew this was going to happen, we should have taken some of the alpacas from the big tribes." Lucie laughed and joked.
"If we could, we wouldn't have been hijacked by the tribes on this island." I clapped my hands and stood up. "Let's do it together. We'll cut the water vine.
We moved to the area where we found the water vine before Ziebe, and we found a lot of water vine around. If you don't look closely, you can't tell the difference between water vine and other vines.
The cortex of the water vine is very thick, and does not die after peeling, other vines will peel.
If you drink water directly from the water vine, it will still have some of the characteristic taste of the trees, a little astringent.
After cutting two vines, we moistened a piece of soil with the water flowing out of the vine. After rubbing and stirring, we applied it to the end of the vine, which could quickly stop the loss of water inside. A large part of the reason is that the soil is clay.
Digging up the roots of the water vine was more difficult, and while she was busy, Lucie stepped back in a hurry.
"I thought I heard something over there, did you?"
We all shook our heads as we men focused on digging up the water vine.
"Really have, want to go over to have a look." "Suggested Lucie nervously.
I dropped the stick in my hand, took the gun from my shoulder, and walked in the direction she said.
"Be careful and wait for me." "Whispered Lucie after them.
When I stopped to wait for her, I did hear some noise. When she came up behind me, I grabbed her wrist. "When you see something, calm down. Don't panic."
Lucie held the gun tightly in her hand. "I will, with you."
"Change your pistol." I was afraid that after one shot, she would be defeated and run away.
Lucie changed guns before I moved on. When I got behind a large rock and determined that the source of the noise was in front of me, I squatted down with her.
Soon, four hairy monsters appeared, prowling slowly through the lush vegetation. They were whispering to each other.
"Like wildlings." Lucie leaned over me nervously.
"Wildlings have nothing to be afraid of, even if ghosts come."
Lucie grinned, straightened her back, and raised her pistol in both hands to the edge above the stone.
As the distance draws in, the four monsters shape and appearance also gradually clear up. He had brown or black hair all over his body, and he was big and strong. The face was very human, except for two large fangs sticking out of the mouth, like a saber-toothed tiger.
"Lu Fei, what are they? They're like the wildlings in the movies." Lucie pulled back her hand in fear.
"Watch." I just stood up and pointed the gun at the monsters.
After a few guys saw me, they all exclaimed and communicated with each other happily. I don't know why.
"You're not going to shoot." Cui Bin's voice came from behind.
Then there was a shot, and blood jumped from a monster's arm.
"Ouch." The other monsters howled with indignation.
"Wait a minute." I shouted back to Cui Bin.
But where is still too late, Cui Bin has opened the second gun, a monster to down. The three remaining monsters picked it up and quickly disappeared into the woods.
Cui Bin walked close before, do not understand of ask: "how do you not let me shoot?"
I explained, "I don't think those monsters are going to attack us. They're happy to see me, not eager to attack."
"Was I impudent? "Cui Bin said with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter. They're monsters anyway." In harsh environments, there is no empathy between species.
Returning to the place where the water vine had been cut, I described the monster I had observed to Zhe Jiao. He thought for a long time and said, "No, I don't remember seeing big fangs."
"Two more monsters?
"I'm not sure. I didn't see it clearly yesterday." Don't hurry to explain.
He couldn't explain, so there was no point in further discussion. They started digging the water vine again.
After much work, seven vines were dug up, with four or five metres above the root, tied in a circle with ropes, and the ends wrapped in clay.
After preparing the water vine to replenish our water supply for the road, we filled several more water bottles. We had finished the kippers we had brought, and after two tacos each, we packed up and headed for the desert.
Each carried a circle of water rattan on his back, and when he was thirsty he wiped the clay off the edge of the blade, cut it off, and held it to his mouth to drink. It's like carrying a hose on your back. When he had drunk enough, he plastered the new edge with clay.
In the case of not lack of food and water, the pace and efficiency of the trip, obviously improved. We had reached the edge of the desert before dark.
Looking at the vast desert, there is always a sense of loss.
They rested for a while, cooked dinner and ate it. Then they found places to lie down and sleep. The long days of running made everyone tired.
The next day, at dawn, we set out again into the desert. From this end, we were also coming to a vast mountain, high without a top, with clouds swirling around and mist flowing.
When he stopped to drink, Cui Bin looked at the other side and said: "From our world, we should be in the sea now."
I nodded. "That's right."
Cui Bin said with emotion: "This world is really wonderful ah, two worlds can be so fit overlap together, here is the desert, there is the sea. It's unreal. It's incredible."
"Who can believe it if they haven't seen it. It's like a ghost: more people have heard of it than seen it, and few believe it."
"That's not true." Cui Bin shook his head: "Ghosts are real, but the other world is real."
"Flig, Treg." Li Ding leaned over and said, "The reason why our plane has an accident here is because there are two worlds with different magnetic fields, pulling the plane down?"
"Li Ding, do you know what a magnetic field is?" Lucie teased.
Li Ding didn't mind her teasing at all. "Sister Lucie, I have a lot of advantages in addition to my courage. I know a lot of things, but I just don't like learning."
"Because your family is rich. No matter how much you learn, you can't earn more than your father left you."
Li Ding snorted a smile and looked sad. No matter how rich people are, they are poor here. When he thought of his rich life and what he was going through, his heart naturally sank.
After a short rest, we continued on our way.
We were trapped by drinking water on the way here, and we had nothing to lack on the way back, which made us speed up a lot. At noon the next day they reached the mouth of the cave.
While resting in the cave, they drank all the water that was left in their kettles.
I walked ahead of the group, through the cave first, back to the bottom of the sinkhole, and actually saw a few natives. As soon as they saw me, they ran over crying and Shouting.
I did not care about the people behind me, three steps at a time, from a few points on the cliff to jump down.
"Sir, you are back. If you don't come back, our tribe will be lost." One aborigine cried and asked another aborigine to inform Uwa about them.
