Although the words of the young man wiping away his tears resonated with his companions, at times like this, resonance is really not helpful. We are hungry, in poor spirits, have no strength, and are covered in injuries. Everyone has reached their limit. The young man who spoke felt a little dizzy when he stood up from the hemp rope.
“Brother Aze, I’m cold, I’m hungry…”
“I’m hungry too…”
It is still very cold in early spring, and the clothes have lost most of their warmth-keeping effect due to the humid environment in the mountains. It was better to climb and rush before, but now the cold is unbearable after a short rest.
Everyone had tears on their faces, and their exposed hands and faces were all injured, from thorns and weeds and bruises from falling.
“We, let’s find a place to rest and have something to eat first.”
The boy known as Aze wiped his face hard with his sleeves to wipe away his tears and snot. The slightly cracked facial wound hurt badly.
“Let’s go, get up, don’t sit down. If you sit down again, you will never be able to walk!”
“Everyone, get up, let’s find a shelter from the wind and rain!”
“Please help me, no one will be left behind!”
“Yeah!”
Grinding their teeth and struggling, the teenagers stood up one after another and set foot on the road again. The mountains in the distance were still shrouded in clouds and mist. They hadn’t seen the sun in the past few days, and they couldn’t even figure out the direction in the mountains.
A total of five people, including the child who was obviously several years younger, walked with difficulty in the mountains. Because they were really tired and weak, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, they walked very slowly. After half an hour, , and finally found a suitable place to stay, which was a horn-shaped mountain wall with a few rocks protruding from the top of the mountain. The effect of blocking the rain may be far-fetched, but it is enough to block the wind.
“Over there! There is a good place over there where you can rest and live. Let’s go there quickly!”
A Ze’s words were full of excitement, and everyone else became excited after hearing the words. Even their steps became much faster, and they all walked in that direction.
However, misfortunes never come alone. When everyone was sitting against the wall to rest, and fully looking forward to lighting a fire to keep warm, a young man screamed in panic.
“No more! Where have you gone! Where have you gone! Not here…”
The boy was rummaging through his pockets, which also attracted everyone’s attention. The former’s panic expression was written on his face, and he looked at everyone in despair for a long time.
“The flint…is lost…”
This is not a short-term trip to the mountains, let alone a comfortable home. There are no fire tools to use. If you want to make a fire, you have to use special flints and fire cloth. Losing the flints is a heavy blow to these teenagers. , so heavy that I can’t even breathe.
Aze stared blankly at the young man responsible for keeping the flints, wanting to teach him a lesson, but looking at his panicked face, he really couldn’t muster the energy or the strength.
“No! We have to make a fire! Let’s find a way to make a fire, find some stones and try it, and then try it with a wooden drill! You go find some firewood, it’s not like we haven’t made a fire at home, we can definitely make a fire!”
It’s a pity that hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel. An entire hour later, Aze and several other partners’ already scarred hands had some more blisters, some of which were broken. It was painful, but The fire still failed to rise.
The environment is too humid and the wood may not be right, not to mention that these teenagers are already exhausted.
“Rumble, rumble…”
Thunder sounded in the sky. It should not have gotten dark yet, but it was already dark in the mountains. A cumulonimbus cloud floated over, and lightning flashed in it.
“Crack…boom…”
“Ah…” “Woooooooooooooo…”
The youngest child was frightened and cried. The others were not much better, so everyone could only retreat to the mountain wall together.
“Hold tighter, let’s hold tighter!”
“Hurdle into the corner, it will be warmer!”
“Next to each other, it won’t be cold if we are next to each other…”
“Rumble…”
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the wind is getting stronger. Fortunately, the corner of the mountain wall is well protected from the wind. Although it is not absolutely windless, everyone can see the flying sand and rocks outside, which is definitely much better than outside.
“Wow, wow, wow…”
Heavy rain soon started, and the rocks raised above the head could not completely block the rain. As long as the wind direction was slightly biased, Aze and the other two teenagers outside were easily caught by the rain.
“It’s so cold…” “Come closer in!”
“Brother Aze…it’s raining so heavily now…it’s a good thing we didn’t light a fire, otherwise it would have been very uncomfortable…”
The child at the end suddenly said this, making everyone quiet for a moment.
“Hey, yes, luckily there was no fire!”
“Well…it feels much better to think this way!”
“Hey hey hey…”
Although several people were smiling, they could not hold back their tears.
Aze took off a cloth bag that had been hanging around his neck. The mouth of the bag was tilted, and he carefully poured things out. Then a small pile of rice grains mixed with rice bran appeared in the palm of his hand. The white color of the rice was in the dim light. It’s so conspicuous and beautiful.
“Here, a small handful for each person, there is no fire, just eat it like this, chew it until it’s chewy!”
“Yeah!”
The boy next to him carefully took the bran rice with both hands, and then Aze poured out a small handful and handed it to others. After everyone had it, he poured some for himself.
Weighing the bag, there is not much in it.
“Creak, creak, creak, creak…”
The grain mixed with bran rice was very dry when chewed without being cooked, and it even pricked the mouth. The teenagers just chewed it like this. If they couldn’t swallow it, they held it in their hands to catch the rainwater and drank it. Eat something, and the added calories won’t have as much of an impact as the cold brought by the rain.
Except for the two younger ones, who were slightly better off, all the teenagers were shivering from the cold.
“Hoo…ho…it will be bright soon, very soon…”
It’s late at night, the rain has stopped, but the teenagers are not asleep yet. Even though they are exhausted, it is really difficult to fall asleep without a fire in this environment. It is too insecure.
“Brother Aze, what should we do if a wild beast comes?”
“It’s just in time, let’s see if it eats us or we eat it!”
“Yes! It’s just the right time!”
One of the first few teenagers clenched the hatchet in his hand, the other grabbed the wooden stick, and Aze had a dagger with a leather sheath in his hand, and he pulled out a small section with a cold light shining on it.
“Ani, Aaron, you go to sleep, there are me and Agu.”
“Well…”
The boy and the child inside couldn’t hold it any longer and finally fell asleep. Even the boy outside and a little inside soon fell asleep. Only Aze and the other boy outside were holding a hatchet and a knife. The dagger held on tightly.
“Aze, if I fall asleep, you must wake me up!”
“Yeah!”
Half an hour later, Aze and Aaron fell asleep together…
There were faint footsteps approaching in the mountains. These footsteps were too light to wake up the sleeping teenagers.
This is a brown-black leopard. It has long fur, sharp claws, and thick meat pads that make it walk quietly. It approaches the teenagers step by step until it reaches a distance.
“Hiss…hiss…”
The leopard grinned, revealing its sharp fangs, and sniffed at the teenagers.
At this moment, a short stick hit the leopard on the head, causing the leopard’s head to shrink. It turned out that there was an old man wearing a green robe sitting on the leopard’s back.
“Hey! These children…”
While sighing, the old man pointed his short stick forward, and the clothes on the teenagers and children began to dry. Then he turned the stick and pointed to the side, not far from the corners where the teenagers were sleeping. There were just a few more wooden stumps and tree sections, with many mushrooms growing just right on them.
After doing this, the leopard slowly turned around and gradually left with the old man on his back.
“Hey, how can the fairy world be so easy to get to? It’s best to turn back as soon as possible…”
The next day, the sun shone on Aze’s face, which stung his eyes. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuuan. ｃｍHe opened his eyes with difficulty.
‘Oops! I am asleep! ? ’
Aze looked around in a panic and found that no one was missing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Along, Aaron, wake up Aaron.”
“Ah!?”
Aaron trembled all over, and his first reaction was to raise the hatchet. After seeing the situation clearly, he relaxed and turned to look at Aze.
“Aze, why didn’t you wake me up…”
Aze didn’t say that he also fell asleep, not because he wanted to take credit, but maybe everyone would be more afraid in the future. He could only remind himself in his heart that he must be alert when it is his turn to watch the night in the future, while forcing a smile and said .
“It’s okay, I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn’t wake you up.”
“Brother Aze, is it dawn yet?”
“Well, it’s dawn!”
Aze and Aaron stepped aside so that everyone with numb feet could get up and stretch themselves. Today is the rare good weather since entering the mountains.
“I haven’t seen the sun for a long time, it’s so good!”
The child also twisted his body and moved his legs, walking around. Suddenly, a few pieces of wood not far away came into view, and then joy appeared on his face.
“Brother Aze! Mushrooms! There are a lot of mushrooms over there, big white mushrooms, big white mushrooms!”
“Where?” “Over there!”
A few people trotted over and saw that they were really big white mushrooms, and there were quite a lot of them. They all laughed happily.
“Great, there are mushrooms to eat!”
“It’s really a big white mushroom!”
“To make a fire, you must light the fire!”
At this moment, Aze and everyone else were full of energy. Finally, half an hour later, sparks came out of the drill, which ignited the oilcloth, and they started a bonfire.
Set up the pot you brought with you, find the mountain spring, add a little bit of bran rice and lots of mushrooms. The moment when the aroma is fragrant in the pot is a happy moment for the teenagers.
