Chapter 187 (1/2)
”When I was a child, this forest was much bigger than it is now. At that time, our children of the same age didn't listen to their family and loved to run up the mountain. In particular, one of our friends had an elder who was a hunter. A group of us discussed with him and sneaked into the forest.”
The old man believed me and began to speak slowly.
”At that time, we thought, anyway, the hunter was in front of us, and we couldn't get out of danger. But unexpectedly, the hunter suddenly ran after his prey, and we ran as fast as him, but we didn't run as fast as him. In this way, we lost someone and lost our way in the forest, so we had to walk around in the forest. Unconsciously, we went deep into the forest...”
……
Eighty years ago, a few teenage urchins followed the hunters into the forest, but they didn't expect that their leg strength could not match the hunter who had been living in the forest all the year round. They lost their way and had to walk blindly, but their luck was very bad and they went deeper and deeper.
”I said, let's Can we still go out? ” Asked a child.
Of course, Putonghua didn't spread to this place at that time. They all spoke dialects, but in order to better understand, they automatically translated them into more understandable words.
”No, we haven't gone far. As long as we keep going, we will be able to go back.”
”But what if we don't go the way we came here? These things... ” The child said, looking around the environment, ”I don't know.”
”Er...” Walking in the front of that, seems to be the leader of the child at this time is also some doubt themselves, stopped, thought for a while, said: ”it doesn't matter! When we come here, we will continue to move forward. If we can't go out all the time, it means that we are not going right. We can go back then. ”
In fact, what he said is very reasonable, and in this kind of environment and circumstances, it can play a very good role in stabilizing people's mind and eliminating fear. I have to say that this child has some ability to be the king of children.
However, theory is theory after all. If it is a maze or a simple forest, it is OK to do so. But the problem is that the forest 80 years ago was more dangerous than it is now. I don't know how many times! I don't know how much more complicated it is!
Everywhere, there are rocks and gullies, and fallen trees, blocking the way, so they simply can't walk in one direction, and there are not only four fixed directions in the forest, Southeast, northwest, or even eight. That's a 360 degree path! After a few rounds, they forgot the direction.
Suddenly, more confused.
However, children are very persuasive. There's no need to change a sentence. Just that sentence is enough to keep their spirits from collapsing. However, when they first encounter wild animals and are chased like their grandson, this thing fails
”Help
”Ah -”
it's a pity, because they went farther and farther, so even this cry, which exceeded the normal decibel, didn't float out of the damned jungle and into anyone's ears.
However, the luck of these children will not be bad all the time. After being chased by wild animals for a period of time, they finally escaped from danger and pursuit. However, new problems came along - they were completely lost.
”This Where is this? ”
”It's terrible here. We can't get out.”
”Wow
At that time, several children collapsed and all sat on the ground crying. At this time in the past, their parents would come to see them, but this time, there was only a companion who was as miserable as they were crying.
After crying for a while, the same child Wang came over first, looked at several people around him and said, ”OK, don't cry, don't cry, we may attract wild animals. Don't cry any more!”
His words are useful. The fear of wild animals is greater than that of getting lost. When several children heard this, their faces turned white. They all covered their mouths and looked around warily. Of course, it's OK. If something had happened earlier, could they wait until now?
”It's better to go. There's no way to take it here, and...” The child raised his head and looked at the sky. Originally, there was less sunlight pouring down through the tree crown. At this time, because of the passage of time, the movement of the sun became darker! ”It's going to be dark on Tianma. We have to find a place to live.”
As a result, the physically and mentally exhausted children continued to move forward. Suddenly, the figure swung from the tree and hung on a branch in the air. It seemed that they were looking at them.
”Beast!” One of the children was all soldiers, and immediately cried out.
”No, that's Monkey
They all fixed their eyes on it. Isn't the clever figure hanging on the branch a little monkey?
In their eyes, beasts mainly refer to animals that can eat people, such as monkeys, which are a little good-looking and scratch you at most. They are not dangerous species. Compared with ”beasts”, they are at best ”animals”.”I've just heard of it, but I haven't seen it. It's pretty.”
”I met him once. He came with my father at that time. He said, just don't provoke him. It's not dangerous.” This is the main promoter who led them to this dangerous situation, the son of the hunter.
”Go and see, go and see.”
A group of people were in a desperate situation when they suddenly saw such a thing. It was as if they had spiritual sustenance. It was like a drowning man saw a board floating on the water. Whether it could support himself or not was better than none! Get over there!
A group of people immediately ran in the past, the monkey saw the scene, but also startled. what the hell! What are you doing? Why did you come to me?
Scared, the monkey turned and ran, echoing in the tree and running further away. A group of children ran with it. As they ran, they lost their direction and became darker and darker. But no one planned to stop, as if they would die as soon as they stopped.
