The moonlight fell in from a small window. Li Mo leaned against the window and looked at the sparkling light of the lake extending into the distance. The sky was very clean, with almost no clouds. The way the stars shone in the sky made people feel... The world seems to be sleeping.
The sound of a match being struck was sudden, startling away the fireflies that would light up at Li Mo's feet from time to time.
After the bonfire is lit, the small world that can be touched by the fire is also awakened.
The girl illuminated by the fire raised her beautiful eyes and gently waved to him, calling him to come to her.
Li Mo responded to her call and sat in front of the bonfire leaning on her shoulder. The temperature from the flames seemed not as warm as the girl's shoulders, making people want to get closer to her.
Li Mo looked down at her, and she looked at Li Mo with understanding, her black pearl-like eyes shining with light that seemed to come from the deep sea.
Li Mo gently held the girl's chin, causing a blush to appear on her face, but she did not refuse and just closed her eyes tightly.
The distance between the lips is gradually shortened, and each other can still feel each other's breath. Gradually, gradually...
Snapped--
"it hurts!!!!"
Li Mo covered his face as if it was burning. When he opened his eyes, what he saw in front of him was no longer the girl before, but a face as terrifying as the Prajna Neng Face.
"Damn it, didn't I tell you not to eat that mushroom?!"
"Where's my wife?"
"Damn it, haven't you woken up yet?"
The forest guard grabbed Li Mo's collar and raised his hand again.
"Stop, stop, stop! Wake up, wake up!"
Before the old man's hand fell, Li Mo broke away first.
There were still clear marks of the slap on his face. If he was hit again, he would definitely faint for two or three days. His survival instinct made his consciousness return to his brain instantly.
It happened about twenty minutes ago.
"Ah, this mushroom..."
Li Mo found a mushroom with an exaggerated color under the roots of a tree that protruded from the ground. It seemed to tell others that it was poisonous.
"Throw it away now. For such a big person, you can't tell the difference between what you can eat and what you can't?!" the forest guard said angrily.
"I know this mushroom. The toxins inside will not affect body functions, but will cause hallucinations for a short time." Li Mo's eyes were dull, and he smiled strangely as he looked at the mushroom.
"so what?"
"Speaking of hallucinations, is it the kind that makes people see pictures as if they are in a dream, or is it the hallucination that makes people see distorted and blurred vision and keep flashing lights? Old man, do you know?" Li Mo placed the mushroom in front of the forest guard. asked.
"How the hell did I know... Hey, brat, what are you doing?!"
As the forest guard said this, he stuffed the mushroom into his mouth.
However, now.
"Did you eat something like that because your brain was flooded?"
"But it's better to have hallucinations than starve to death here! You can't even dig wild vegetables in this terrible place! I haven't eaten for almost a day!"
Faced with the overwhelming feeling of exhaustion, Li Mo collapsed on the ground.
He squinted his eyes and raised his head. The sky in the west had burned up as if announcing the end of the world, and the setting sun had become blurry in the distorted air.
In a word, the road here is difficult to recognize.
You can obviously see where you want to go, but if you can see it, you may not be able to walk there. There are many cases where you go around and back to the starting point.
Fortunately, the forest guard who has lived here for a long time can be regarded as a local. His knowledge of the land plays a great role. He only needs to go around once or twice to find the right path.
But even so, the journey for the two of them was not smooth sailing.
As soon as they find the correct exit from the three-way road, they will have a headache for the five-way road ahead. After a while, he would inexplicably step into a hole made by an unknown creature, and it would take him a long time to climb out. After a while, Li Mo fell into a stream, and an old man chased him for several hundred meters before he was rescued. After a while, there was a big fight because the old man insisted on fighting for the way with the brown bear.
Although the journey was difficult and dangerous, what was even more terrible was that along the way the two of them had never quarreled like before.
Li Mo lifted a stone.
"Idiot! How could a dragon be in a place like this!"
"Didn't you say that it's possible as long as you haven't looked for it?!"
Li Mo leaned out of the cliff while holding on to the crumbling Thuja tree, and sighed with vivid emotion. The old man quickly grabbed Li Mo's neck and pulled him back.
"Do you, a retard, want to die?!"
"If I didn't fall to death, you would still strangle me to death!"
...
In this state, the two of them searched for each other in the forest for four days. During this period, except for visiting many places that Li Mo thought would be impossible to visit in his life, they gained nothing.
Just yesterday, the dry food the rangers had brought finally ran out.
"It's a good thing that you've been in the army, so it's hard not to eat for such a short time."
After getting along with him for a few days, the forest guard knew that he couldn't be shaken now, so he simply put down his bag and lay on the ground to rest.
"Don't compare me with you. How can a gentle and polite young man like me compare with a stubborn old man like you?"
"There is no other way. Let's return tomorrow. The supplies are about to arrive."
"If there is any wine, I will pour it out for you in advance. You can't run away from me, old guy."
Li Mo, who was paralyzed on the ground, stood up and pointed at the forest guard.
"Smelly boy..."
Over the past four days, the quarrels had already become tired, and the ranger rarely paid attention to Li Mo.
After looking around, he took out flint and palm velvet from his backpack and prepared to set up camp. It was protected from the wind, the soil was very dry, and dry firewood was easily collected around it. All in all, it was a good campsite, and it was getting late. , it is indeed unwise to go any further.
Click——
Click——
The flint simply ignited the palm velvet, and the flames crackled gradually in the dead wood. Li Mo raised his head inadvertently, and the sunset had already disappeared in just a moment, replaced by stars all over the sky. It seemed that tomorrow would also be a sunny day.
In this scene, Li Mo suddenly remembered the girl in the hallucination, but when he lowered his head, he saw a skinny old man skillfully peeling off the bark of a dead tree with a knife.
"Ugh~"
"What do you mean, brat?!"
The old man threw the bark over and hit Li Mo accurately between the eyebrows. Li Mo groaned holding his head and fell in front of the bonfire.
"Boy..."
Seeing Li Mo making noise on the ground, the old man called him softly as if he had thought of something.
Li Mo raised his head from the ground and found that the old man was sneering. The smile was different from the previous fragility, as if he was struggling, and he always felt very uneasy.
The old man slowly turned his head to Li Mo and said:
"Boy, you too...you should go back too."
