survival in the wilderness

Chapter 19 I don't want to live anymore
Mao Mu climbed the tree very quickly, and he went up in two or three strokes.

This is a huge banyan tree with thin leaves, the trunk needs to be surrounded by two people to hug it.The lowest branch is more than three meters above the ground.

Banyan, Wangtian and oil palm are the most common trees here.

Wangtianshu has a bare trunk and goes straight up, making it difficult to climb.

Oil palms are relatively low and not suitable for climbing up and looking into the distance.

They chose the banyan tree.Lin Yan, who had never climbed a tree before, felt that if he became an adult, he would not be able to climb up by relying on his own strength.

"Old Hei, can you climb up?"

"It used to be fine, but now it's difficult."

"Can Mogi take me up there?"

After hesitating for a while, Old Hei said with uncertainty: "It should be possible."

Twenty minutes later, Mogi came down.

He smiled and said, "Good luck, there are no big bugs on it."

"Take me there quickly." Lin Yan became excited, and finally he could see farther. Since he opened his eyes, he could only see what was in front of him every day. It was too difficult to see farther.

Mao Mu put Lin Yan on his back, tied it with hemp rope, and started to climb up.

Old Hei stood guard under the tree, looked up and watched them disappear soon.

The banyan tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, with many branches. One tree can block out the sky and the sun, and the bottom of the tree is shady. Under its cover, there are only some low weeds growing underneath.

After climbing for more than ten minutes, we finally reached the top.

Mao Mu chose a good position, leaning on the branches of the banyan tree to support his body, he stood up, untied Lin Yan from behind, and hugged him to his chest.

Push aside the layers of branches and leaves to let Lin Yan look over.

"Lin Yan, look, there is the Sun River."

"Yeah, I see." Lin Yan nodded, "This tree is so tall, it can be seen from a very far distance."

"Yes, we chose the right one."

Moki has climbed trees since he was a child, and he has already understood the scene in the distance.

Lin Yan was different, seeing the distance for the first time.

Looking at the past, there is a lush and lush tree, which is the broad Sun River, like a silver ribbon dotted on the green land.

On the other side of the Sun River, there is also a piece of green, the terrain gradually rises, and the undulations in the distance can be seen faintly.

Lin Yan turned his head and looked in another direction, but the scene was still like this.

She didn't give up and changed the direction again, wanting to see that side in more detail.

Except for the eye-catching Sun River, everything else is the same.

A piece of magnificent, lush and beautiful, but there are no big ups and downs, like a plain.

Write down this direction and everything you see, and ask Fat Bao to leave a picture.Lin Yan said, "Let's change places and look around."

She wanted to figure out what the place where the Sun Tribe was located was like.

Moki tied her behind him and changed positions.

Lin Yan opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, finally it was no longer green.

"What's over there?"

"I don't know." Mao Mu said honestly, "It's too far away, our people have never been there. I also asked people in the tribe, and they didn't know what it was."

Lin Yan judged the direction, it was in the northwest, and there were mountains and hills far away, some of which were very high, and the peaks towering into the sky could be seen at a glance.

Some mountains are covered by vegetation, and the peaks to the west can be seen sporadically bare, which should be stone mountains.

Printing this scene into my mind, I changed the direction again.

Due west is the direction of their hunting.

Extending out is a grassland, and there are rolling mountains in the distance.

After turning around and looking carefully, Lin Yan determined the general situation of the surrounding area.

Judging from the east side where the sun rises, the Sun River runs roughly north-south.

Along the Taiyang River Basin is a vast plain area, the two sides are widely distributed, and there are undulating mountains in the distance.

The western peaks are tall and straight, with stone mountains.

The east can't be seen at a glance, and the terrain is relatively flat.

The north and south are where the Sun River flows, the Great Plains.

Far to the north, Sun River makes a sharp turn.

You can only see these, if you want to know more, you must go through it yourself to be sure.

The world is vast, and the Sun Tribe is hiding in it. It is very difficult to step out of this area.

Now they live by the water, and the Sun River has nurtured this group of people.

Lin Yan thought that there should be other people or tribes along the Sun River Basin, but the lush forests and various animals blocked people's footsteps.

People are still too weak, so insignificant in front of nature.

Wanting to live the previous life, Lin Yan was even more desperate.

Daily self-isolation started, and on the way back, Lin Yan was depressed and couldn't get excited.

Mao Mu and Lao Hei concentrated on walking, taking precautions, and didn't notice her abnormality.

For two days in a row, Lin Yan was unusually silent, he didn't like to talk or move.

What she loves most is lying at the mouth of the cave, basking in the sun, without moving for a long time.

Flowers and leaves often come out early and return late, so I didn't notice any abnormalities.

But Mu Shi, Lao Hei, and Mao Mu all found abnormalities.

Not only them, Ye Ya and the children who came to Lin Yan to learn how to read characters also noticed the difference.

Shui Sheng was the most sensitive, he was the first to ask Lin Yan, "What's wrong with you?"

The other children also gathered around, and they all wanted to know what happened to her.

She used to be a little girl, but she was more like a little adult, calm and unruffled, with light in her eyes.Now she is more like a fish out of water on the shore, listless and lifeless.

Lin Yan opened his eyes, feeling weak, "I don't want to live anymore."

The surrounding children all stared wide-eyed.

Ye Ya shouted anxiously: "Why are you not alive?"

"That's right, why."

"It's so good to live, why don't you want to live anymore?"

……

The children chattered and immediately started arguing.

Lin Yan let them quarrel without saying a word.

Shuisheng couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Stop making noise."

After a while, the children calmed down, Shuisheng looked around and said, "You all be quiet, don't rush to talk, listen to Lin Yan. Don't talk, I will open my mouth when I say it's okay."

The children nodded with wide eyes.

Shuisheng is the oldest in the group of children. He has gone out with his family many times, so he is an older child.It is very prestigious among a group of radish heads.

Maintaining order, Shui Sheng lowered his voice, "Lin Yan, why don't you want to live? Everyone in the tribe is struggling to survive. Why don't you want to live at such a young age."

Shui Sheng couldn't figure it out. Lin Yan was so smart and knew so many novel things. This was what he yearned for curiously. He wanted to spend more time exploring and discovering.

Lin Yan lazily turned over, changed to sitting on his stomach, and said sadly: "Knowing too much is not a good thing."

"How to say?"

Seeing Lin Yan's silence, Shui Sheng said again: "If you don't tell me, how will we know what you think and how can we help you?"

The other children nodded along and looked at her expectantly.

Looking at the innocent black eyes, Lin Yan suddenly felt that he was too cowardly.

These children didn't understand anything and were full of hope for the future, but she, an adult, complained about herself, thought only of herself, and retreated from the slightest difficulty.
