Lu Li had a sullen face, looked around a few times, and then walked back to the child.
The child was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, still not recovering, and his body was trembling slightly. Lu Li comforted him a little and told the child that the violent ape was dead, and he felt a little better.
There was a moon in the sky at this time, but the view in the ravine was not very good. Lu Li suddenly felt a little hungry after he recovered, so he walked over and carried the giant ape back with one of its big feet.
He was about to light a fire to roast it and eat it, but suddenly he remembered that he couldn't seem to make a fire. Fortunately, the boy had flint with him, so he found some firewood and set up a barbecue.
Surrounded by the light of the fire, the child gradually recovered and praised Lu Li for being so good.
Lu Li shook his head and smiled. He couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, his physical strength was still there, otherwise, today would have been a bit dangerous.
The rhubarb disappeared without a trace.
Lu Li and Xiaotong had a hearty meal and immediately felt much better than before. Then they buried the fire rack to prevent a mountain fire and walked into the night again.
There was some uneaten ape meat left. The boy took some with him, but Lu Li didn't take it because it was a bit dark when roasted and he was afraid it would get all over his body when he carried it.
Half an hour after Lu Li left, the big yellow dog slowly came to the place where Lu Li had barbecued meat and began to devour the barbecue that Lu Li had abandoned.
On Lu Li's side, he had been gone for two or three hours, but he still could not find the little boy's grandfather.
It was already dawning at this time.
Many places in the forest were covered in thick fog, making it even more difficult to find.
Xiaotong and Lu Li were only a few feet apart, walking side by side.
But after the two of them walked into a thick fog, such a short distance made it difficult for Lu Li to see the figure of the child, so he hurriedly called him to come closer to him to avoid any accidents.
The kid responded and was about to walk towards Lu Li, but unexpectedly, he suddenly stepped on the air and said, 'Ah! ’ screamed and disappeared.
Lu Li was secretly startled when he heard the sound. He followed the sound and walked over, only to find a three-foot-sized hole in the ground.
He lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked down, only to see darkness below, which seemed to be bottomless. He hurriedly called out: "Little doll! Are you okay?"
A buzzing sound resounded in the cave. Lu Li pricked up his ears to listen, but saw no response from below. He couldn't help but furrowed his brows, secretly thinking that he would be better off if he fell to his death.
"Help, help me..."
Just when Lu Li was about to get up and look for a way to get out, a weak and hoarse voice suddenly came from below, as if he was shouting at the top of his lungs.
Judging from its timbre, it was obviously not from the child just now.
Could it be that he is the boy's grandfather?
Lu Li was secretly delighted and immediately shouted down: "Are you the little baby's grandfather?"
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the following.
It seems that the other party's condition is not very good.
Seeing this situation, Lu Li did not dare to hesitate any longer and walked out of the fog to search around. After a while, he finally found several long vines as thick as wrists on the hillside nearby.
He tied one end of the vine rope to a big tree at the foot of the slope, and then pulled the other end of the vine back into the mist. A rough estimate showed that the vine was still five or six feet long, and he didn't know if it would be enough.
In order to prevent the rope from falling suddenly and injuring the people below, Lu Li could only lower it slowly and carefully.
After a while, he finally finished lowering the vine rope. He lifted it back and forth several times, and felt that the bottom seemed to have hit the bottom. Then he looked overjoyed and grabbed the vine rope and carefully slid down the cave wall.
The cave wall was not rock, but very soft sand. Lu Li kicked on it and knocked down a large piece of it. Lu Li was secretly shocked and couldn't help but become more careful.
It would be very bad if the sand collapsed and buried the people below.
Fortunately, under his deliberate control, no landslide occurred. And it didn't take long for him to reach the bottom of the pit.
The space at the bottom of the cave is not large, only about two feet in diameter.
There was an old man with skinny bones and shabby clothes, leaning weakly against the cave wall. Next to him was an unconscious child in rough clothes. It was the same kid who came with Lu Li before.
Seeing Lu Li falling, the old man's dull eyes suddenly revealed a faint light, and he stretched out his hand weakly: "Help, help me..."
After saying that, his head tilted and there was no movement.
Lu Li was secretly shocked and hurriedly went over to check. He was relieved a little when he found that the other party had just fainted.
Then he broke off a slightly thinner vine from the thick vine rope, first trapped the child behind him, and took it outside with great effort, and then returned again and took the old man out of the pit in the same way.
Lu Li took off the water bottle from the child's waist, gave the two of them a few sips, and then sat next to him and waited quietly.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the child woke up first. He looked at the old man next to him and was immediately overjoyed. He kowtowed to Lu Li repeatedly: "Thank you, brother, thank you..."
"Get up quickly."
Lu Li quickly helped him up, "Is he your grandfather?"
The little boy nodded repeatedly, "Well, he is my grandfather. Thank you, big brother. If it weren't for you, my grandfather and I might not be able to survive..."
The old man was probably very weak because he hadn't had any water for many days. After Lu Li took a few sips, he finally woke up slowly and weakly thanked Lu Li.
Lu Li asked the child to share some of the ape meat with his grandfather. When the sun was at its peak, the old man's complexion finally improved a lot.
It turned out that half a month ago, the old man went into the mountains to collect herbs. When he came here, he found a strange stone and was going to pick it up. Unexpectedly, the land under the stone was actually floating soil. When he stepped on it, the floating soil collapsed instantly, causing him to fall into the deep pit.
This time he came out with only a little dry food and managed to survive for more than ten days. Then he couldn't hold on anymore and fainted. It wasn't until the child fell that he woke him up.
He was already in extreme despair, but he didn't expect to receive help from others. Naturally, he was overjoyed and grateful to Lu Li.
Lu Li smiled and said you're welcome, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "The adventure is complete, congratulations on your new talent, the primary insight."
"You can tell whether the target is an outsider wherever you look."
Hearing the voice, Lu Li suddenly felt happy and couldn't help but scan the two people in front of him, but he didn't see any difference. It seemed that these two people were not outsiders like him.
The old man was leaning on a big stone at the foot of the slope, sitting on the ground, with a cloth bag hanging sideways on his body, and the bottom of the bag was round.
As if thinking of something, he moved his body, slowly removed the bag, and took out a strange stone as big as a bowl with a circle of brown veins all over it, and slowly handed it to Lu Li:
"Benefactor, this old man has no repayment for saving his life. This stone looks pretty good. It should be regarded as a piece of my heart. Please keep it."
