We were walking relatively slowly at this time, and I didn’t dare to let Ou Xiang go, so I kept the small flashlight on.
Because I found that this strong light flashlight is really too bright. It is no exaggeration to say that it can radiate 30 degrees on both sides. If those people hadn't gone far, they might come back to trouble us again for the flashlight.
So I asked Ou Xiang to drive for a while, and when we saw the scene within a few dozen meters, we would rely on our memory and walk forward slowly for a while. Now that we don't have supplies, we feel a little more relaxed, but we are also a bit unwilling.
I felt a little regretful, as food and drink were second to none. On the back of the backpack was a knife used as a pillow. Because it is embedded in one side of the backpack pad, people who don’t pay attention to it will definitely not know the secret.
But in this environment, because of the distribution of supplies, I think it was possible for them to dismantle the backpack. Even a piece of cloth will be exposed by then, so when I think of this, I still feel a little pity.
Of course, because of the lighter, even if there is trouble in this rain forest, at least I feel a lot more confident! The biggest feature of the transition from savages to primitive humans is that they learned to use fire.
Then we walked to that place, which was a huge banyan tree, which was amazing to look at. But at this time, how could we feel like this. After all, this distance alone took nearly half an hour.
I took a look and saw that this large hole in the tree made of aerial roots really looked like a small tree house.
Although the gaps between the aerial roots are not completely sealed, it must have gradually formed like this over many years as the aerial roots drooped down and fixed on each other. It looks like there will definitely be air leakage, and the area is only about three square feet.
But because the entrance to the tree hole is actually far away from the ground. Looking at the height of more than two feet, intertwined by many tree roots, forming a natural threshold, I was still a little surprised!
I asked Ou Xiang and Lan Fang to sit in, then found a nearby clump of thatch and used the knife in my hiking pole to cut a large bundle again. In addition, I folded some twigs and leaves of the banyan tree and put them all in the small tree house. It really made people feel much more comfortable sitting there.
Lan Fang may have taken medicine, and because he felt peaceful now, he lay down in a daze soon.
I didn't let Ou Xiang come out at this moment, because I tried the lighter and found that the flint was ready for lighting, so I went to find a lot of fine leaves and hay, and of course I also found some dead branches.
Perhaps due to the climate in the rainforest, although these dead branches were not completely dry, after a while, as the dry grass and fine leaves started to ignite the fire, and after the green smoke dispersed for a while, the fire was piled in front of the tree hole, and slowly It burned.
Because after having an open flame, just add some from time to time, and the branches that are not completely dry can still gradually burn. As the saying goes, wet wood creates a fierce fire.
Then I even built a shelf with tree branches next to the fire. In fact, I was thinking in my heart, if there was a sheep roasting on this rack at this time, how happy it would be! I can only think about this kind of conjecture, but it still keeps me hopeful.
But in Ou Xiang's view, it was me sitting in front of the fire, quietly watching the flames in trance!
"Ah Jing, you said that the man you found in the river at the beginning had his throat cut with a knife?" Perhaps when he saw Lan Fang sleeping, Ou Xiang sat out and suddenly asked me about it.
After all, she and Lan Fang were at a distance from each other at first, but now her voice was trembling when she spoke, even a bit thoughtful: "They had knives just now, do you think it was them who did it? ,,,,,,"
"Actually, you looked very carefully. So you noticed it too?" I looked up and saw her cautious eyes, and looked around.
It was completely dark all around, but I had no doubt that something might come out of every direction at any time! Not to mention whether there are people snooping, even those wild beasts are also eyeing their prey!
"I think the iron thorns used by Peng Gan and others are the same as those used by Brother Wen and others!" Ou Xiang seemed to take a deep breath and then thought of something with fear, even though she didn't want to believe it. But his face also became more ugly.
Sitting in the tree hole, she even hugged her legs and knees, but looked at me with horrified eyes: "Ajing, do you think they took away other people's weapons? Could it be that in order to survive, everyone has really done this? Have you become able to kill people casually?"
"Perhaps in some people's minds, doing this kind of thing is as simple as killing chickens and pigs!" In fact, I am really in awe of the matter of life and death. But after seeing it with my own eyes, my heart naturally changed.
"It's okay, as long as they use their hands and see blood, they will get used to it!" I know that Ou Xiang is actually very simple. She is obviously not as clear-eyed as Lan Fang about some things.
But there are some things that I naturally can't stimulate her. After all, the reality is too real and even I can't face it directly.
Besides, she is a girl after all, so it is obviously unfair to treat her like this. I’m not blindly trying to be big, but at least in life, there are some things that need to be faced.
"So, now I'm glad that we didn't follow them!" Ou Xiang's voice was not loud, but it was a bit sad.
"There are many people following them, and we can do a lot of things. Now we don't know where we are!" I sighed slightly, looked at Ou Xiang and said: "If no rescue comes, if what Brother Wen said is true, you How many months do you think we can last?”
"Following them is asking for death. I believe that if this is really what they did, these people will all be swallowed up within three days!" Ou Xiang suddenly became excited, and his voice even trembled, obviously feeling Brother Wen and the others are in danger.
Sure enough, Ou Xiang immediately looked at me in horror: "First of all, Brother Wen and those people will not let them go!"
"Don't think so much. Besides, they have nothing to do with us, right?" I didn't want Chu Xiang to bear too much burden, so when I heard her say this, I changed the subject: "Our first priority now is to find out Just don’t starve to death on the road here!”
"Ah Jing, it suddenly occurred to me that if there is a chance to go out here, it must be around this small river!" Ou Xiang is certainly not stupid. Maybe today's impact is too strong. So after hearing what I said, she calmed down again.
"Before there is rescue, I'm afraid we will either starve to death or die of thirst here! So the most important thing now is to stay alive!" I have no doubt that if we starve here for two days, we will become someone else's rations.
The surroundings seemed darker because of the fireworks from the fire!
