The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

In the morning mist among the cedar forests, dense milky white water vapor shrouds the lofty mountains. The sunrise crosses the sharp ridges in the east, blooming thousands of pillars of golden and soft light.

Guo Nuan and Cui Ying continued to trek south after crossing more than ten miles of mountain ridges and ravines.At this time, they were already in the area of ​​ten thousand hectares of mountains and forests, relying on the instructions of the stars at night and the sun during the day, they walked bumpily for the fourth day.

The first three days were extremely thrilling, Guo Nuan fought desperately, like a cunning and agile leopard wandering in a dense forest, hunting and killing eighteen killers in the dark one after another.

At this moment, Guo Nuan was wearing a yellow deerskin on his upper body. During the fight, the upper shirt had already been torn into rags. Last night, Guo Nuan used a sharpened bamboo spear to slaughter a large deer sleeping in a bush den. After being smoked and roasted by two people on a bonfire, a small part was eaten, and the rest of the meat was discarded because it could not be taken away.

As for the deerskin, after Cui Ying carefully cut it off with a dagger, she burned the edge of the fur with charcoal and sparks to perforate it, and then threaded it thinly with thin vines to make a simple gown, but put it on Guo Nuan. It was quite comfortable, and the buckskin coat was just the right size, as if it had been tailor-made.

Women are dexterous and good at sewing and mending. Guo Nuan couldn't help secretly praising Cui Ying's female red needlework is really good.

Guo Nuan estimated that there were fifty killers intercepted on the post road. At that time, he and Qian Weiwei joined forces to kill nine killers on the road. In addition, he killed eighteen killers in the jungle, and there were still about twenty killers left. On the fourth day, Guo Nuan found them chasing them. There were only two possibilities. Either they were restrained by Qian Weiwei and killed them all, or after killing some of them, Qian Weiwei finally died in battle.

The rest of the killers who survived were delayed for some time in the fight on the post road. After clearing away the obstacle of the Cui family guards, maybe they immediately entered the vast Guanzhong forest to hunt down Guo Nuan and the others. For four days, Guo Nuan did not meet with the remaining killers.

Guo Nuan reckoned that if Guard Qian had no reinforcements on the post road, he would be more likely to die in battle.Although Guo Nuan solved the dozens of killers who were chasing after him, the crisis was only temporarily lifted.The more he took Cui Ying to the south towards Chang'an, the more he dared not be too careless, which meant that danger was still lurking on the road ahead.

The jungle contains the dangers given by nature, no less than a duel with ruthless and brutal killers.First of all, there is a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, and it is already midsummer. Walking in the sweltering woods during the day, the temperature can reach [-] degrees. If you can’t find water or a shady place to rest, relying on Guo Nuan and Cui Ying to escape for a long time consumes a lot of energy. , it is impossible for them to support it.

At night, the temperature in the woods suddenly drops to seven or eight degrees. Mosquitoes and moths come out to bite people, poisonous snakes come out of their holes to look for food and wander, and we must be alert to the sudden attacks of wild dogs, hungry wolves, big tigers, black blind men and other wild animals.

Although traveling during the day is less likely to encounter large beasts, because most of them have the habit of resting during the day and foraging at night, Guo Nuan decided to take Cui Ying on the road at night to risk the starry night.

He feels that it is easy to be exposed during the day, and is likely to be discovered by killers. Although it is easy to encounter wild animals at night, after all, they are not as intelligent as humans, and they are not animals or killers. Avoid to provoke them.

On the way to the valley the day before yesterday, the bottom of the valley was full of ditches and pits, and the terrain was narrow to form meanders and forked rivers. There were also waterfalls and torrents in the upper reaches of the valley that could rise at any time. The mountains on both sides were steep and steep, and there was no place to climb up. , this is the most dangerous section of the waterway.

Lost in the forest, the first thing to consider is water and food. Some areas are rich in water. Guo Nuan and his wife have been walking along the stream for the first few days. The mountain spring in the village is taken directly for drinking.

However, when crossing a large stretch of cobweb-like criss-crossing mountains, it is difficult to find drinkable water in the mountains where dead leaves and weeds are piled up. There are shallow wetlands everywhere in the woods. The remains of many animals and plants, as well as a large amount of plankton, have long been black and turbid, containing disease-causing bacteria, and are not drinkable.

Walking in the dense forest, the two quenched their thirst with the milky white sap squeezed from the green vines, or occasionally came across some berries from apricot trees, wild loquats, wild plantains and other trees.

"There are many dangerous plants in the forest that you can't touch, like these delicate and beautiful wild flowers."

Guo Nuan gently pulled away Cui Ying who was about to pick flowers in a bush, and said calmly.

I remember that in my previous life, Guo Nuan and a college buddy had just graduated and hadn’t found a job yet. The two hiked to Xishuangbanna Prefecture for an adventure.Because when crossing the turbulent river, all the expedition equipment in the backpack, such as the "King of the Jungle" Spanish multifunctional saber, jacket, hiking stick, compass, lighter, sleeping bag, first aid medicine, and electronic navigator, all of these are in the When crossing the river, he was swept away without a trace by the rapids.

At that time, the buddy was nicknamed Chimney, which meant that he was very addicted to cigarettes. He smoked two packs of Zhonghua a day, and he had a cigarette in his mouth almost all day long. Factory chimney.

This buddy’s family is quite rich. I opened a sawmill in a small town in my hometown. The factory can consume more than 100 million square meters of wood a year. According to him, I can save 2000 to [-] million yuan every year, so I still With his economic ability, two packs of Zhonghua a day are absolutely no problem.

However, when the flood flooded, the two Chinese in the backpack disappeared, and they were still nesting in the corner of the mountain. They would not be able to get out for a while and had no cigarettes. Isn’t this killing him? It’s not a pity that other equipment was washed away. The smoke is gone.

Without a navigator, the two wandered around in the jungle for four days. During this time, the two of them had a miserable time. Earthworms, tree cicadas, termites, praying mantises, dandelions, bitter herbs, eucalyptus, emblic seeds, these things were caused by He ate raw without fire, and his life was similar to that of a beggar.

No, Chimney does not agree with this statement. He lay down in a ditch when he ran out of ammunition and food, and sighed to Guo Nuan who was dozing off in the ditch next door;

"Damn it! This is no match for a beggar. The two of us have eaten everything that can be chewed except stones and sand these days. Damn, I even ate shit!"

It is said that when the chimney complained sadly and angrily, it was rare that white smoke did not come out of its mouth, but Guo Nuan in the ditch next door sprayed a face of feces, which stinks to death.

Guo Nuan was lying in the bush ditch, weakly raised his arm and touched the feces on his face, and said indignantly:

"Grandma, Chimney, you have the nerve to say that, if you weren't so hungry, you ate seven or eight kinds of wild flowers in the forest indiscriminately, and then fell to the ground after being poisoned...

Seeing how uncomfortable your limbs were twitching and foaming at the time, it’s not that my brother hurriedly picked up the pile of shit you pulled in the grass, put it in a bamboo tube, added some water to dilute it, and poured it in. The poisonous flowers and plants in your stomach Vomit it out, or you'll die early. "

Come on, Chimney was speechless, hummed and chirped a few times with his nasal cavity, and lay down in the gully with his eyes closed.

"These wild flowers are pretty, are they poisonous?" Cui Ying flashed a pair of big delicate eyes. After hearing Guo Nuan's warning, she reluctantly left the flowers and continued to walk in the jungle. After following Guo Nuan, she couldn't help asking curiously. road.

Guo Nuan recalled the past, and her thoughts were a little distracted. Unknowingly, Guo Nuan's eyes were flushed, and she walked silently. A little tear slipped down her cheeks, and when Cui Ying asked, she turned her back to her and choked up and said One sentence. ． ．

"Well, my best brother Chimney . . . died while picking flowers. He just touched it . . . and he died."
