In this environment, these things are not an episode. After all, everyone has a burden in their hearts, so there won’t be too much gossip.
Fortunately, Ou Xiang did not show any fear. Maybe she was born in a rural area and had the ability to take responsibility alone when she was a child. So while walking at this time, she would still take the initiative to look around repeatedly.
We walked for about twenty minutes. According to my experience, we only walked a short distance, and most of them were close to the river, so we didn't dare to go deep into the rain forest.
Of course, even with Lan Fang's motivation, I was still a little exhausted. This kind of physical work was really unpleasant. I still persisted silently in my heart, but I was actually a little helpless, especially because my hands were a little numb. Seeing Ou Xiang's serious look, she just wanted to see hope as soon as possible or find a place to rest.
I didn't eat any staple food for two or three days, and I didn't even drink pure water. After walking for a few more minutes, a feeling of fatigue and numbness still made me want to take a rest. Looking at Ou Xiang in front of me, I had to say: "Xiangxiang, let's take a rest!"
Immediately, without waiting for Chu Xiang to react, Lan Fang seemed to be depressed, and before he had time to say anything, I seemed to see the target, and immediately placed Lan Fang on a tree trunk that stretched out horizontally. The height position is just right for her feet to hang down and land on the ground without discomfort.
Although Lan Fang was a little surprised by my sudden reaction, she didn't say anything when she saw that I was sweating all over and my clothes were clinging tightly to my body.
"Yeah! Yeah! Okay!" Looking at the sun outside the woods, it seems bigger than expected. Looking at me again as if I had just come out of the shower, Ou Xiang's mouth moved slightly for a while, but she didn't say the next words.
I guess if we hadn't walked along this river, the sweltering environment here, and the inexplicable quietness, we would have suffocated here. Ou Xiang seemed to feel something, looking at the sun in the sky, his expression seemed a little silent. Although she was intact now, she vaguely understood something, so she glanced at me worriedly.
"Hey, Ah Jing, come here and see, what is this?" I didn't dare to sit down. Firstly, I was completely soaked. Secondly, standing and practicing against the tree trunk was indeed more conducive to my recovery of strength. Just as he was rubbing the muscles of his arm, Ou Xiang suddenly heard a surprised voice.
Although the sound was not loud, because of the unusual quiet here and Ou Xiang's feeling of surprise, even Lan Fang, who was relatively depressed, instantly looked towards the place where Ou Xiang made the sound!
"What? Are you so nervous?" I frowned when I heard Ou Xiang's surprise. Hearing Ou Xiang's nervousness and uneasiness, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Ou Xiang is different from girls who grew up in the city. She has a certain ability to be independent, so she can't help but instinctively hold on to the hiking pole hanging by her side.
Although the trekking pole is telescopic, I know that if it is fully extended, it will be more than one meter. What's more, this kind of hiking pole has enough weight, and there are hidden secrets in it. It is now my biggest reliance! My hands felt the presence of the trekking poles, and I felt a little more at ease.
"Over there, over there, you, look, look quickly, over there, what's over there..." Facing Ou Xiang's hand and her slightly trembling voice, I pointed towards Ou Xiang Look over there. Although I haven’t seen anything yet, my heart is already a little tight!
This is in the rainforest, a place where few people come and go, so it is possible to encounter various accidents. Although I moved closer, I instinctively took out my hiking pole and pulled the two poles apart. After more than two feet, I took a few steps forward again, and then I saw clearly where she was pointing. Something that disturbed her.
hand!
one hand!
Even though I still didn't know what was going on, I hurriedly pulled Ou Xiang and pulled her behind me in an instant. Even though I have seen people living and dying, I couldn't help but shudder when I thought about the scene I saw. Holding Ou Xiang's hand, she felt a little cold.
Then I pushed aside the branches in front of me and saw a relatively large stone in the water along the river bank less than two meters away from the shore. The areas separated by the river water are the distance between the rocks and the shore. They are a patch of exposed tree roots washed away by the river water.
Some of these tree roots seem to extend into the river under the rocks. Some are as thick as an arm, and some are as thin as a little finger. They seem to be the roots of the big trees on the bank. Of course, in a tropical rain forest, this situation is not surprising.
But right where the tree roots and rocks were, I saw a hand!
It should be said that this is a white hand soaked in the water and blocked by tree roots!
I hurriedly pushed Ou Xiang back and let her go to Lan Fang. Ou Xiang was a little frightened and uneasy, but perhaps seeing Lan Fang's nervousness, she had no choice but to retreat to Lan Fang's side. After seeing this, I became bold and leaned forward.
"The water flow is still relatively fast. The blood stains on the tree trunks and rocks seem to have dried not long ago..." Looking at everything in front of me, I vaguely thought of something, and looked around again warily. Compared to the discovery of life and death, the somewhat horrifying scene in front of him seemed not so abrupt at this moment.
I found that in the water, around the hand stretched out by the root of the tree, although I couldn't see the whole body, I thought it should be in the water in front of me, blocked behind the big stone.
"Is this person dead?" Ou Xiang looked a little frightened, and was naturally trembling with fear. Although she didn't speak directly, she didn't expect that Lan Fang, who was sitting on the tree trunk, seemed to be shocked out of his malaise. Apparently he heard what Ou Xiang said, so he asked me worriedly for the first time.
"Don't worry, the river is a bit fast. I'll go around to the place with sand in front and see if I can find a place to get into the water!" Because looking around, whether it's the area around you or the location across the river, basically You can still see a range of more than ten meters, and you can react if something happens.
So after looking around carefully, I thought about the current situation, looked at the uneasiness in the eyes of the two people, and said to Lan Fang: "But looking at the way those hands are soaked, they are really human. There’s not much hope of living!”
"You, you're talking nonsense, you haven't even seen it in the water yet!" Lan Fang didn't know what he was thinking, but he snorted anxiously, and then looked at me with a sneer. I don’t know if I’m hiding my fear, or if I really have doubts about me.
Naturally, I would not distinguish this with her, but I felt that her voice was slightly trembling with nervousness. I don't know if it was fear, or lack of confidence in the three of us, or in me.
