Chapter 12 Weird Zhaimen
Zhou Xirui held Li Wen in his arms, and both of them trembled slightly. In this way, it was difficult to escape from the predatory range of the big snake. They whispered in the tent to discuss what to do tomorrow?
Zhou Xirui has certain knowledge of survival in the wild. After thinking about it, he said, "Try to follow the path of the snake. Snakes also need to drink water, especially such a big snake, so that you can find a place with water. But the risk is also very high. It is possible to encounter a big snake at any time, and there is only a dead end when you meet it on the narrow road. Li Wen was a little hesitant about this method and felt that the risk was too high.
Zhou Xirui said, "I just went up to the cave and saw the faded white skin of the snake. It should be the same kind of snake we saw in the stream. They are all white and their eyes are red." Li Wen said, "I have never heard of this kind of snake before. There are white snakes, but I have never seen them if their bodies are white and their eyes are red. And this is too big, just like a prehistoric giant snake."
Speaking of the prehistoric giant snake, Li Wen thought of the pterosaur he saw before and said, "Is the geological structure here special and some ancient creatures have been preserved?" Zhou Xirui also nodded in favor. The creatures encountered here are so strange.
Li Wen snuggled up in Zhou Xirui's arms and said, "I'm hungry, Rui." Zhou Xirui also felt empty and wanted to eat. He took out the alcohol stove in his backpack and put paraffin on it. On the other side blocked by the tent, he put the snake eggs directly on the stove to bake. No pot had to make do with it.
After burning for a while, the egg gave off a burnt smell of food. I guess it was ripe. Zhou Xirui wrapped it in a towel and brought it over. They were so hungry that they didn't care that it was a snake egg. After knocking it, one person took a spoon and ate it. It was very delicious. After eating it, they were really tired. The two of them soon Go to sleep.
I don't know how long it took. There was a huge thmuffing sound outside the dense forest. Li Wen woke up and quickly woke up Zhou Xirui beside him. They quietly looked through the cracks in the leaves and were shocked. Just dozens of meters away from this small forest, a big scary giant snake coiled up like a hill and was rolling up a wild boar and sending it into its mouth. The wild boar was probably dead without struggling. More than 200 catties of big boar was swallowed by the big snake in a moment. After swallowing, the snake fell on the ground and did not move. This is the habit of snakes. After eating large food, they must have time to digest it.
Li Wen wanted to take advantage of the fact that the snake was full and it was inconvenient to move. They quickly slipped away. If they didn't walk, there would be only one way to die. The two quietly packed their bags and walked in the opposite direction of the snake, trying to be as gentle as possible for fear of making a sound for the snake to hear. They walked along the path slipping out of the big snake for several hours. This time, they were lucky enough to finally walk right. They could hear the sound of water in front of them. The two quickly accelerated their pace. Not long after they walked away the shrubs on both sides and saw a small waterfall in front of them. Looking behind, there is a towering mountain. Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can't see the whole picture of the mountain. Li Wen hopes that this is Jinzi Tower Mountain. If so, their route is right. As long as you cross Jinzi Tower Mountain and walk a distance, you can get out of the black bamboo ditch. At least the distance on the map does not look too far.
The two dare not stay on the edge of this water for too long. They feel that there are too many red and white snakes here. If a giant snake comes out, they will have no strength to escape. They quickly filled the pot with water and began to climb to the top of the mountain. The mountain was not very high. Zhou Xirui estimated that he could not climb to the top before dark today, and some places looked very steep. Fortunately, there were many trees on the slope, and there were thick arms everywhere, so it was not very difficult to climb. It's just that the weeds are very deep in places where no one has passed. Needless to say, insects and ants will see some snakes coiled in the grass from time to time.
Although these snakes are not red-eyed white snakes, since they picked up the snake in the stream, they have had a shadow in their hearts and felt afraid to see any snakes. Li Wen took a long branch all the way through the grass and scared away the snakes. When he encountered the branches blocking the way, Zhou Xirui cut out a gap with a machete. The two finally climbed halfway up the mountain, and there was a slope with sparse trees, so they decided to rest here.
Before putting down his backpack, Zhou Xirui found that there was a wide gap on the other side of the cliff. In the middle of the gap, a high "zhai door" was fenced with wood. On the wall was a platform, and on the edge of the platform was a railing made of bamboo, which looked like the village door of bandits in the TV series. Where is this place? Are there bandits here? That's unlikely. Have you been liberated for so many years? Is it already out of the black bamboo ditch? Is this a farmhouse? Thinking of this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who did it, as long as it was done by someone, at least it was safe!
They ran under the fortress gate and shouted vigorously, "Is anyone there? Open the door!" But no one came to open the door even if they shouted through their throats. Is there no one in here? Where did the people who built this place go? There seemed to be no trace of human activity around here, and there was no way to get here. An inexplicable chill rose from my heart.
