208 Chapter 2 Passing by
The swamps here are really endless. Looking at the surrounding scenery, I still feel that they are the same everywhere...

My brother and I have been immersed in the increasingly turbulent water and kept moving forward.

Walking, walking, I gradually felt that I should be getting closer to the position of the water flow that my brother said he was looking for.

Before, the sound of the water flowing around me sounded like "gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush, gush."

The surrounding terrain continued to decrease. Soon, a waterfall appeared in front of us. I looked over there and asked, "Brother, is this it? What happens next?"

The little brother stopped, looked around, and pointed at the waterfall. I looked at him, looked at the waterfall and asked, "Go to the waterfall?" He looked at me lightly, and I felt that maybe I didn't say it completely right. , and added: "Are you going to go behind it?"

The little brother said to me: "They should be in danger over there, so they must follow me closely." After hearing what he said, I thought it must be very scary over there, so I hugged him without saying a word. The arm holding my hand was pressed tightly against him.

Following, the little brother took me step by step towards the waterfall. When I was almost there, the little brother paused and patted me. I looked up at him, and he looked down at me, and then his eyes turned to the waterfall. , said to me calmly: "Ready."

I was stunned and said: "Uh...I..."

I looked up and saw that the waterfall was rushing down very fast. The tiny water droplets splashed from the waterfall filled the air and formed mist. When I got close to it, I felt like there was a wind blowing.

I thought the water would be very cold... The closer I got to it, the faster my heart beat. I took a deep breath and said to him, "I'm ready."

After he followed, he held me tightly in his arms, holding my arm with one hand and blocking my head with the other. This meant "I was about to pass through the water curtain."

As soon as I closed my eyes, my brother helped me block the water rushing down, and we passed through the water curtain in one go.

After we passed the waterfall, we were all soaked. The water was indeed "cool" in one word.

I opened my eyes and saw that the vegetation here was denser and the light was dim. The little brother put me behind him, and he stood in front of me and squeezed away the vegetation.

I buried my head and walked forward, walking in a daze, just afraid that he would come again in the future. Every time I was on the road, I walked all the way, leaving location marks along the way.

After walking for a short distance, the little brother stopped and climbed up a tree to identify the direction. I waited below, resting temporarily and looking up at him on the tree.

Because we had a good rest the day before, we didn’t rest along the way and kept pushing forward. The dense vegetation made the forest here look even more depressing, and we could see submerged ancient houses in the water.

But after walking for a long time, I started to pant. My whole body was wet and covered in mud. It felt really uncomfortable.

At this time, Pan Zi had woken up and was in a daze. The fat man was already ready to suture his wound. He raised the needle with his right hand, followed the sterilized thread with his left hand, and followed the first needle.

Pan Zi's face was obviously distorted, but there was no sign of much struggle.

Wu Xie saw the fat man suturing the wound very neatly. He could actually embroider. His energy was quite professional. He was instantly surprised and said to him, "Fat man, what did you do before and you still have this skill?"

The fat man said helplessly: "You are so stupid, I told you, but you always forget that I went to the mountains and countryside, I had no father to beat me, no mother to care for me, I took care of myself, it was just needlework, no one can do it. But, this is really the first time this human skin has been sewn, hey, tell me, should I sew some patterns on it, otherwise this guy will find it too monotonous."

Wu Xie laughed "Hehehe..." several times, indicating that the joke was not funny at all.He looked at Pan Zi and said, "What a blessing. Although this giant python is extremely powerful, its teeth are short and it didn't hurt any vital parts. However, it lost too much blood and may not be able to recover easily."

The fat man said: "Fortunately, his life is not in danger. Just cultivate yourself and it will get better slowly. If you look at the scars all over his body, I am afraid that every time he goes to the ground, he will come back from a narrow escape. That's enough for a man."

Wu Xie sighed and said: "Yes, no wonder the third uncle relies on him so much. This guy really doesn't care about his life when he does things. However, maybe it is because of this style of doing things that although he is seriously injured every time , but survive every time.”

The fat man said to Wu Xie: "His is called self-destructive tendency. I know it very well. I have a best friend who has been on the battlefield before. Everyone in his class died, and they died miserably. He will not be able to relax after he retires. Come on, I always wonder why he was not the one who died at that time, as if he survived because someone else fired him. When he was fighting with me, he started doing things desperately seeking death. He did whatever was dangerous. In fact, he just wanted to find an opportunity. Kill yourself, this kind of person must have something to worry about, otherwise he can really do anything, so I feel that your third uncle is like a life-saving straw to Da Pan."

The fat man was still a little excited when he spoke. Seeing that his hands were shaking a little, Wu Xie said to him, "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. You can concentrate on sewing."

Perhaps because it was daytime and there was nothing going on along the way, we found traces of a bonfire near a rotten tree that had collapsed and withered in the mud.I looked at the remaining ashes and said, "It seems that they were resting here before, but then they fired when they encountered any danger."

He tilted his head, thought for a while and said: "What could they encounter, a snake? It's probably not just a snake." After looking around, the little brother looked at me, and I continued: "After all, the cockscomb snake is They are small. Although the possibility of forming a group is very high, if that is the case, shooting will be useless. To allow them to fire so many shots, they must have encountered a behemoth. Oops... it can't be a big one. Tree python..."

The little brother said: "It's possible. If you're lucky, if you go further, you might be able to see it."

I was a little confused: "Good luck? Where is the luck..."

The little brother touched my head and said: "This thing will not come out during the day. If you can see it during the day, it will probably be its body."

I thought about it and it seemed to make sense, and said, "Oh... the tree python is dead, which means they may be fine, I understand." We followed us and continued to move forward, looking for the traces of the battle they left behind.

Wu Xie and Fatty one sutured him and the other sterilized him. They finally finished the work after nearly an hour. Looking at Pan Zi, he fell asleep again.

Both Wu Xie and Fatty's hands were covered in blood. After placing Pan Zi, Fatty and Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief. Fatty said, "It's done, let him have a good rest."

Following the two of them out of the tent, they sat down to rest. The fat man remained vigilant and immediately looked around and said to Wu Xie: "Something's not right here. I think we should tidy up now. We can't stay here for long."

Wu Xie nodded. He also felt that something was very abnormal here. But when he wanted to stand up again, he found that he couldn't walk anymore. There was no muscle in his body that obeyed his orders. The fat man also moved twice, but the same thing... both times. People looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then sighed together.

The fat man said helplessly: "We are running out of gas now. It seems we can't do it without rest."

Wu Xie sighed and said, "Even if there is something pressing right now, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up."

The fat man smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't matter. It may not be safer to go back to the jungle now. Rather than being killed in a damp and cold place, I would rather die here. Being bitten by a snake while listening to MP3 is worthy of me." Such a celebrity in the fighting world."

Wu Xie chuckled and said, "You have fully demonstrated Ah Q's spirit. We have crossed the Gobi Desert and were very tired before entering the canyon. It is already a miracle that we can hold on and get here. It's really incredible." Just imagine what happens next and where these people here are."

The fat man said: "Okay, I don't think you should think too much about it. We have to adjust ourselves first. I think the most important thing is."

Afterwards, they rested for a while, made some tea, ate some dry food, and took off all their tattered clothes. They shook their heads looking at the tattered and bloody clothes, because any hole they found was larger than the trouser leg.

They found some random clothes that were drying in the camp and put them on. Looking at their legs that were covered with bleeding marks from thorns, they were thankful that they were all skin injuries, but the sting was still unbearable when they touched the water.

They found that those damn grass ticks were all hiding in the leg sockets behind the knees. There was no one on the front, and they were full of blood.

While Wu Xie was helplessly looking at the dead bugs, the fat man happily said to Wu Xie: "Innocent, look at what I found, Fatty. It's a spray designed to kill grass ticks. Here's a gadget, let's have a taste of the spray." ."

With a spray of "呲呲", all the grass ticks fell off one by one. Wu Xiegang wanted to slap them flat, but the fat man stopped him and said, "Don't worry, please be merciful. Your slap may attract more. You Don't move, I'll do it." He said and swept them all into the stove, making a crackling sound.

I asked the little brother: "Do you smell anything? It's blowing in the wind."

The little brother replied "Yeah", and I said: "This smells like something burning. There are plants and there seems to be a smell of burning meat... What did they do and light a fire?"

Soon after, the little brother saw some traces of their battle, and also saw some ashes left by the fire. Going further, he even saw blood stains, and there were a lot of blood stains, which meant that someone among them must have been injured. It's not light. As you move forward, the smell of burning plants and barbecue becomes stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, I couldn't help but "wow" when I saw the scene in front of me.I was surprised and scared. It was a roasted cockscomb snake all over the place... I stuttered a bit and said, "Little... brother, this... this... is..."

The little brother patted me and led me slowly through the "barbecue". Unexpectedly, I went further and saw an even more horrifying scene. It was a huge black mass of corpses spread out on the ground. On the ground, this size must be a tree python. The corpse is covered with grass ticks, and it already gives off some smell of rotting corpses.

For a moment, I was so scared that I froze on the ground and didn't dare to walk over. The little brother frowned when he saw it, picked me up, put me on his back, and led me to run past the thing like flying.
