At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 717
Gao Bufan and Ah Qing chatted one after another, and another aftershock occurred during this period. Finally, the sky in the east brightened and the sun rose, but it still couldn't shine into the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the cliff.

The morning wind was cold and whizzing, but Gao Bufan was fine, he was able to hold on with his martial arts, but Ah Qing's lips were a little purple, and he looked very weak.He has not eaten since yesterday afternoon, and he has been tossing in the flood for a long time, and then he has endured a night of freezing in the crevices of the rocks. He has been able to survive until now, which is already considered tenacious.

Gao Bufan poked his head out to look down, and found that the river had basically returned to its normal position, so he said to A Qing, "I'm going to get some food, can you stay here by yourself?"

Ah Qing nodded weakly: "Don't worry, brother Gao, I should be able to hold on."

So Gao Bufan got out from under the rock, clung to the protruding rock above his head, and climbed up. When the apes who were looking for food suddenly saw Gao Bufan, they all looked at him strangely, with strange expressions and movements. Consistent, looks a little funny.

Although Gao Bufan has never eaten monkey meat, he heard that monkey brains are quite delicious. In later generations, monkeys are national protected animals. Now, this thing is not protected, why don't you try it?

Gao Bufan thought about it for a while, but let it go, there are a lot of germs on wild animals, if they are not cooked and eaten raw, they are easy to get infected.

Those apes seemed to feel the malicious intentions from Gao Bufan's eyes, and immediately became vigilant, bared their teeth, showing sharp teeth, and issued a stern warning to Gao Bufan, the uninvited guest.

This is people's home court, and monkeys live in groups, hitting one will definitely attract a large group, there is no need to make a fuss, so Gao Bufan bypassed these apes and slowly climbed to the top of the cliff.

The long-lost sunshine finally hit his body, and it was warm. Gao Bufan could not help but feel refreshed. Standing on the top of the cliff and looking around, he saw continuous hills in the east, south, and north directions, and the hills in the west were clearly It is much rarer, and it is flat land after turning over a few mountains.

Gao Bufan took a few deep breaths, looked around and found that the trees behind the cliff were verdant and apes were haunting them, there should be something like wild fruits, so he climbed down, and he found some berries, and he Take it off and bring it back to Ah Qing.

After all, Ah Qing is a native of the Miao people, so he can tell which wild fruits are edible and which are poisonous, and he picks out a few non-toxic ones to share with everyone.

After filling his stomach, Ah Qing finally felt his body warm up and his strength recovered, so he asked, "Brother Gao, what should we do next?"

Obviously, at this time, Ah Qing has already followed Gao Bufan's lead.

Gao Bufan calmly said: "We must find a way to go back to the upper reaches of the plains to meet up with our companions. Now we have three ways to go. The first is to directly climb the few peaks in the west, and the second is to be a logger and paddle back upstream. , There are many trees behind the cliff, which can be used for logging, but the terrain here is not good, so it is a bit difficult to do logging."

"Then what about the third one?" Ah Qing asked hastily.

"The third is to do nothing!"

"Waiting to die?" Ah Qing asked in astonishment.

Gao Bufan was very speechless, this kid didn't seem to be very bright, so he had no choice but to point out: "Wait for help, my...brother and Lingmei should go down the river to look for us, we just wait here, but we can't be sure When will they come, or when there is a boat passing downstream, we can rub the boat."

A Qing's eyes lit up and said: "This is a good way, then let's wait here, so as not to miss it."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "I also think this is the best way, but there is no food or drink here, and I have to suffer from the cold at night. During the daytime, I will go to the back of the cliff to get some food and come back to do some dry work." firewood."

Ah Qing immediately said: "I'm the best at this, I'll go."

Gao Bufan worried: "Are you okay?"

Ah Qing was a little unhappy and said: "Brother Gao, don't underestimate me. Climbing mountains and ridges, collecting firewood, and picking wild fruits and vegetables are all our Miao people's strong points. You can rest assured here and rest for a while, Brother Gao."

Gao Bufan hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, why don't we go together, there is a county of apes up there, it's not easy to mess with, I'm afraid they will attack you."

Ah Qing got a little nervous when he heard that, if it is on flat ground, apes are nothing, as long as one is cut and blood is seen, the others will most likely be scared away, but meeting a group of apes on a cliff is a very dangerous thing , if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces if you fall.

"Don't dare to go?" Gao Bufan teased.

Ah Qing immediately said angrily: "Who dares, there is nothing in this world that I, Ah Qing, dare not do, let's go!" After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to climb to the top of the cliff.

Gao Bufan laughed when he saw this, the reason why he said this was just to test Ah Qing's courage, he stopped him and said: "Xiao Qing, brother Gao is just joking, don't take it seriously, you should stay here so that my younger brother won't be caught. I missed it when I found it with Lingmei from upstream."

"No, I must go, lest Brother Gao look down on you!" Ah Qing blushed, with a ferocious expression.

Obviously, this person's stubborn temper came from him, so Gao Bufan could only say: "Okay, let's go together."

Therefore, Gao Bufan took off his long gown, and then pressed a corner with a stone to let it float out of the crevice of the stone. If Qingruo found it from the upper reaches, he would find the gown at a glance and know that he was here.

"Brother Gao is really smart!" A Qing's eyes lit up, and he complimented him.

Gao Bufan laughed and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" After speaking, he climbed up the rock and climbed to the top of the cliff.

Ah Qing quickly followed and climbed up.

This kid really didn't brag, he was very nimble with his bare feet, and he didn't fall when he followed closely behind Gao Bufan, the latter was completely relieved when he saw this.

"Brother Gao, your lightness is really amazing!" After the two successfully climbed to the top of the cliff, A Qing couldn't help but admire him.

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, you are not bad either."

A Qing shook his head and said: "We Miao people have lived in the mountains all our lives, climbing mountains and ridges is our instinct, brother Gao is the real skill."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Fish can swim from birth, and people can breathe from birth. These innate abilities are called instincts. Miao people are not born with the ability to climb mountains and mountains, but learned it through acquired training, so This is called ability, not instinct, just like the Turkic people are good at riding and shooting, this is also their ability."

Ah Qing grinned and said, "Brother Gao is indeed very knowledgeable, I'm sure I can't explain it clearly."

"You have the potential to be a sycophant." Gao Bufan laughed.

Ah Qing curled her lips and said, "Brother Gao is a man of real ability. Ah Qing admires you for saying this. If it's someone else, I'll lose if I pay more attention to him."

While the two were talking, suddenly there was a sound of "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Bufan and Aqing were surrounded.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but frowned, these monkey heads didn't seem to be friendly.At this time, an ape with shiny fur and a strong figure appeared, majestic, the surrounding apes all bowed their heads when they saw it, and moved out of the way.

A Qing said with a gloomy expression, "This guy is the king of the monkeys, and this area is his territory. Brother Gao picked wild fruits here before, so he must have provoked him."

"Pick it all up, what should I do?" Gao Bufan spread his hands and said, "Apologize to it?"

A Qing was amused, and said with a smile: "If Brother Gao understands monkey language, you can try it."

Gao Bufan couldn't help laughing, the Monkey King saw Gao Bufan and the two were still talking and laughing happily, and regarded himself as transparent, he couldn't help being furious, grinned sharply, and jumped towards Gao Bufan's eyes, quickly And tricky.

Gao Bufan's face darkened, this monkey was quite ruthless, he grabbed the eyes as soon as he made a move, he was also angry at the moment, he punched him in the face, the first strike came first, and with a muffled bang, it hit the monkey Face, the monkey screamed on the spot and fell off the cliff. When the other monkeys saw it, they were so frightened that they scattered.

Ah Qing picked up a few bloody monkey teeth on the ground, and couldn't help but whisper, Brother Gao, Niubi, this movement, this speed, is even faster than a monkey, that monkey king is finished, even if he didn't fall to his death , After losing a few teeth, he can no longer be a monkey king, and will soon be replaced by other male monkeys.
