26 Mysterious Viper Forest
26 Mysterious Viper Forest
While holding hands with Lu Sheng, Ahxiu followed his lead, while keeping a close eye on every commodity and every person on the street, paying close attention to every detail.
"Boom——" Ah Xiu noticed that something seemed to be making noise on the street.
It's a big machine, constantly belching white mist.
"What is that?" He asked Lu Sheng beside him, and then he remembered that he was not from Xiyun, and he probably didn't know.
Just as Lu Sheng was about to speak, Chang Qiu came over and explained to him, "This thing is called a purifier. Because there is a lot of fog and miasma here, this air purifier was developed to clean the air."
Ah Xiu asked puzzled, "Are the miasma and fog here really so powerful?"
In the book that his mother told him when he was a child, there was a story about the vast sea, with bursts of blue waves, as beautiful as the deep starry sky. His mother said that they were the hometown of mermaids who fell into tears.My mother also mentioned the boundless desert, where the wind and sand are always sweeping, and everything is covered with endless yellow, and in the depths of the wind and sand, there will be bursts of camel bells, crisp and melodious, as long as the age of the desert.However, my mother never mentioned such a corner of the empire, it is like an isolated island that no one explores, hiding endless secrets and treasures.It's just beautiful, but at the same time, it must be dangerous.
Chang Qiu narrowed his eyes, and said in a serious voice, "The southwest has been the fortress of the empire since ancient times. Not only because of their precipitous terrain, but also because of the 'treasures' here - miasma, gu, poison, and disease. Miasma is mostly Due to the rotting and fermenting of corpses in the dense forest, the gas in the forest is hot and humid, which can make people feel uncomfortable, and can cause hallucinations and even death. The fog here is more or less affected by the miasma in the eastern forest, so it is made Purifiers are still necessary to reduce the probability of people in the town getting sick."
Ahxiu nodded, "Then we must be well prepared, or we will be over if we encounter miasma in the forest!"
Changqiu hesitated, "Actually, according to records, the miasma in the southwest has almost dissipated due to the clearing of the forest, and now various developed medicines can basically resist the erosion of the miasma. It's just that the deep mountains and old forests here are special for some reason. Evil... The government doesn't care about it, and ordinary people dare not go in and cut the forest. Over the past few hundred years, the forest has become denser than before, and basically never returns. Unfortunately, I just asked Uncle, he said that there was a drizzle here this morning, I'm afraid the humidity in the forest will be heavier..."
Joe also shook his head in frustration, "I checked the weather before to determine the timing, but God changed his mind again. How about we stay in this town for a few days before leaving?"
Xiuwen was a little anxious, "It's okay, let's go early and end early. I want to get rid of the evil spirit, and see if I am powerful or they are powerful!"
Changqiu looked at Xiuwen and sighed, manpower will never be able to defeat natural disasters.It's good to have confidence in yourself, but it's reckless to be too confident.
Joe comforted and patted Xiuwen on the shoulder, "Dude, don't worry. We'll let you rush back to see your sister-in-law."
They are also rushing back to celebrate the New Year...
After arriving at the hotel where they stayed, everyone unloaded their equipment.After eating, I went out for a walk to find out more.
That night, they got together and unanimously decided to go shopping and rest for two days. After two days, no matter what the weather was, they would go into the mountains together to find a village.
On the first day, Joe showed his leadership qualities.He arranged a proper procurement task for everyone, and everyone agreed.
Since Joe's ear studs can store some large equipment, the purchase of some small items is distributed as follows: Changqiu is responsible for purchasing medicines against miasma and poisons in the forest, and buying back some acute antibodies for emergency, and installing an ID watch at the same time. Lin Zhong contacted; Shen He was relatively meticulous, and was responsible for purchasing daily necessities related to food, clothing, housing and transportation, including buying a few bags of fresh air for emergencies; Xiuwen's task was relatively easy, as he only needed to buy enough bullets.As for Axiu, he suggested that he wanted to develop the program in the next few days, so that he could help out. Lu Sheng also said that he wanted to study his skills, and Joe agreed.
The task was roughly determined in this way, and two days passed quickly like this.
On the third day, as soon as it dawned, everyone put on the tight clothes bought by Shen He, put on their backpacks and went into the mountain, intending to find a suitable place to camp before dark.
Before that, Chang Qiu gave everyone two pills, "Fortunately, it hasn't rained again these few days. But the miasma in the forest is still not to be underestimated. Take this first pill and you will be able to resist it." Eighty to ninety percent. The second pill is to prevent poisonous snakes and ants in the forest, but the effect is limited, so try to avoid them when the time comes." Everyone nodded.
Shen He took out another six sachets, "It contains insect repellent powder, although I don't know if it will work, you should try it on."
This time, everyone thought that everything was ready and they could enter the mountain.
Now each of them is wearing extremely tight clothes, different from the ancient villagers in Tiansha, their clothes are relatively thick, so that ordinary insects and ants cannot bite deeply into the flesh.The high collar locks the neck, and the insect repellent sachet is worn outside the clothes; the long sleeves reach to the wrist, and are bound by the same thick gloves; Ant bites, on the other hand, can more or less purify the miasma.Everyone put on high rain boots, and the opening on the top was tied tightly, so that insects and ants could not crawl in, and it was also easy to deal with if it rained in the forest.
In this way, facing the dawn of the sky, everyone set off.
The forest was not dense at first, it was very common.Some trees were cut in half and stood alone in the sparse forest, like a poor man who was cut in half, or a frightened child who forgot to put on his shirt in the crowd.
Chang Qiu sighed, "I think there is less miasma in this section, so the people in the town have cut down all the woods." Should we say that they make the best use of what they have, or are they greedy?It has always been the selfish nature of human beings to not let go of every resource that can be used for their own benefit.It's just that they haven't repented until now, they haven't considered others or future generations, and they are still destroying and grabbing for temporary enjoyment.Looking at the gray sky, Chang Qiu felt that God's huge eyes were hiding behind the clouds and staring at them without blinking, just waiting for the final punishment.
Xiuwen thought that the journey would be miserable, so he thought of a way to tease others to relieve the depressed atmosphere, "I thought the bard was just compassionate, but I didn't expect that Changqiu cares so much about everything in the world. Alas, Changqiu, don't you It would be a pity to be an advocate for God."
Ashue chuckled.
Knowing Xiuwen's intentions, Changqiu just smiled slightly, "Then, do you want to be a holy son with me and serve God?"
Xiuwen shuddered, "Don't, don't. I'm still waiting to go home and serve my wife."
Chang Qiu joked, "That's right, why did I forget that Xie Yi's sister-in-law is the god in Brother Xiuwen's heart."
Everyone laughed.
Knowing that he was being teased by Chang Qiu, Xiuwen was not angry, "You poet has a sharp tongue, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a wife in the future."
Chang Qiu tossed his long hair indifferently, "I don't intend to find a wife either."
Xiuwen glanced at him in surprise, then secretly glanced at Ah Xiu and Lu Sheng.
"...I have someone in mind."
Xiuwen asked cautiously, "A man?"
Chang Qiu nodded.
"……who is it?"
Chang Qiu was a little dazed and shook his head, "I don't know either."
no? "Aren't you kidding us for fun?" Xiuwen was a little impatient.
Chang Qiu was speechless, he really didn't know who that person was in his memory!
He thought that his secret wasn't really a big secret, it was just a personal matter, and it didn't matter if he said it, so he slowly said, "...I have a memory in my brain since I was born. Those The clip is very blurry, like the noise grains of a black and white video player. What can be vaguely seen is two men together... They chatted, drank and looked at the moon, and ordered soldiers to go to battle. I don’t know what part of the story What is the other man's name, but he calls me 'Changqiu', or 'Shen Changqiu'... Sometimes, he also calls me 'teacher'. Every night, I can dream of him, every time I faint or wake up The cracks in my brain are all him, they, and us. After chewing a lot, everything in my memory is as vivid as this life. I think, I may be possessed..." He smiled wryly , "But even if I am enchanted, I still want to find him. As long as that memory is still there, she will always be my ideal."
Everyone looked at him in disbelief, "This, isn't this too unscientific?" Ah Xiu was asking Chang Qiu, more like asking himself.
"There are too many things in the world that cannot be explained by science. Is science really the rule, God, and correct? Sometimes simplicity is the truth, and complexity and thorough investigation will only lead you astray. I believe in destiny , Believe in fate, so I think, that memory is the instruction given to me by God, maybe I came to this world in this life to find him."
Xiuwen clicked his tongue, "Even if it happened in the previous life, he would have died a long time ago. How can you be sure that his next birth will be in this life?"
Changqiu was taken aback by the question, "...I don't know either...but I always feel that he exists. We are the two closest individuals in the world...I can't put into words the kind of telepathy between hearts. Express."
Come on, it has risen to the spiritual level, Chang Qiu seems to be fascinated.Xiuwen sighed silently.
Axiu suddenly asked, "Then Shen Changqiu's name also belongs to the previous life?"
Changqiu nodded, "I haven't had a name since I was a child. They called me 'poet' or 'singer'. And the name Shen Changqiu...is what that person called me."
Ah Xiu noticed that every time Chang Qiu mentioned "that person", his eyes were full of tenderness.
He could feel that when the man called Changqiu's name, he must have been gentle and affectionate, like a spring of soft spring water, reflecting the beauty of delicate flowers and the shadows of willow trees, with boundless warmth and tenderness ambiguous.
Sometimes he feels that way too.
When Lu Sheng called his name.
When calling myself softly, "Axiu".
"Be careful." A magnetic voice came from beside him, and then an arm pulled him.
Huh, it's Lu Sheng...
"There are snakes." Lu Sheng motioned him to look at the nearby tree.
Axiu turned his head hastily, and found that there seemed to be something hovering on a green tree beside him.
He looked carefully, his pupils dilated, it turned out to be a snake!
A green snake mixed with a green tree!
"The creatures here are very good at camouflage, remember to watch carefully." Lu Sheng's voice rang in his ears, making Ah Xiu's heart feel warm and astringent.Lu Sheng saved himself again... It seems that he has been being saved continuously these days...
But fortunately, now that the procedure has been completed, I can help a little, right?
