our supernatural life
Chapter 51 Entrance
"Is something wrong?" The military adviser couldn't tell what expression was on his face, he walked around the wheat, but looked at the woman, "You want to save his life so much?"
The woman looked at him calmly: "He's still so young, it's unlucky to be dragged out by you."
The military division laughed.In the dark night, the pale light of the emergency light shone on his face, making that cold smile unspeakably disgusting and chilling.He squatted down with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch Maimai's leg, and said slowly: "I have also been bitten by a snake. After a snake bite, the first thing is to cut the wound and let the blood flow, and the second is to tie the upper part of the wound tightly." In order to prevent the toxin from ascending, why didn’t you do these two things?”
Mai's heart skipped a beat.A ferocious expression appeared on the military adviser's face: "What's going on? You want to save him so much, why didn't you take these emergency measures?"
The expression on the woman's face also changed a bit, and she replied, "I've never been bitten by a snake, so I don't know what to do."
The military master laughed out loud, which made people feel cold: "You have never been bitten by a snake, but you know what snakes are here. Even if the locals have never been bitten by a snake, they know how to deal with it, right?" He suddenly pulled out a dagger , pressing down on Maimai's leg with one hand, and quickly slashing with a dagger with the other hand, Maimai screamed unexpectedly, his leg had been cut open, and although the blood that flowed out was diluted by the rain, it could be seen that it was red, not Poisoned look.The military master thrust the tip of the knife into the flesh maliciously, and said with a sneer, "Poisoning? Is this poisoning?"
Mai Mai's face turned pale from the pain, and she tried her best to remain silent.The military division drew out his knife and stood up, staring at the woman: "What do you want to do? You want to take this opportunity to let him run away, and then call the police to arrest us?" He spoke louder and louder, and suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist. Aiming at Maimai's head, his voice was shrill and nervous, "Want to run? I'll kill you right now!"
There was a buzzing sound in Wheat's head.He could already see that the military division was a bit nervous, and it was even more terrifying for such a person to go crazy. He was a murderous person in the first place, coupled with his nervousness - he felt that he must die here this time.At this moment, he suddenly thought of Shao Jing, where was he at this time?Is it with Shen Mobai—oh no, Zhong Lecen?Reminiscing about the past?Or, develop a new relationship?
Wheat is a little weird.Right in front of him is the small black muzzle of the gun, maybe in the next second, a bullet will be shot from it to end his life, but he is thinking sourly about Shao Jing and Zhong Lecen... Sure enough, he is too obsessed with sex. Dead or alive?
The woman never expected that the military adviser would be so shrewd, and she didn't know what to do for a while.She is not good at acting, she thought that the group of gangsters would definitely leave the wheat as a burden in their hurry to leave the country, so she ignored the details.Unexpectedly, although she grasped the psychology of these people, she underestimated the subtlety of the military division.
The strategist grinned, his finger on the trigger getting tighter and tighter.Seeing that the trigger was about to be pulled to the end, the boss stretched out his hand and pressed the muzzle of the gun: "Save this kid to carry his things, if he plays tricks again, he will collapse directly."
Mai Mai was cut on the leg by the military officer. The wound was not long at first, but he stabbed it in with the tip of the knife in the end, which made it deeper.The woman tore off his clothes and tied him tightly. Although the blood could not be completely stopped for a while, she had no choice but to carry her bag and continue walking.This time, the strategist stared at the woman himself, and asked the boss to follow behind Mai Mai, keeping the two of them far away.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the woman stopped suddenly.The military division immediately hit her on the back with the muzzle of a gun: "What are you doing!"
The woman didn't seem to feel it, and stood there rigidly.The dwarf shone the emergency light on her face, and saw that her face was pale, and her eyes were fixed in one direction. The military division hit her twice with the muzzle of a gun, but she didn't respond.The rain dripped down her face like tears.
Impatiently, the military master stabbed the woman in the ribs with the muzzle of the gun: "Why are you in a daze, let's go!"
The woman staggered a bit from his stabbing, covered her ribs with her hands, and turned her head to look at him.That look, under the pale light, was cold and resentful, and the military division was actually shivered by her. He instinctively raised his gun and pointed it between her eyebrows: "What are you looking at!"
The woman stared at him for a while, then turned her head to look around, then lowered her head, and walked forward again.Maimai has good eyesight, and saw that her hands were hanging by her side, but she was clenching her fists tightly. When the light came on by chance, it seemed that red liquid was oozing from her fingers, much like blood.However, it was washed by the rain and quickly faded away.
This time, I walked away in one breath for another three hours.The woman didn't say a word, she didn't even stop, she just kept walking.This time she also started to fall, and the road was more difficult to walk. When the sky brightened, everyone rolled into a mud ball.The boss finally said: "Take a break."
Mai Mai was carrying a bag, and her leg was injured again, so she couldn't hold on at first, and sat down directly regardless of where she was.The rain has stopped, the sky is slightly dewed, and the surrounding scenery can be seen clearly.This is a forest with tall trees and full of vines.Mai Mai could only recognize the banyan tree, but not the others.They are now sitting under a huge banyan tree. The plank roots of the banyan tree have been pulled out of the ground, washed clean by the rain, and they can just sit on it.The woman stood for a while, lowered her head and pulled out a few grasses in the grass, and walked towards the wheat.
The military division immediately raised his gun: "What are you doing? Stop and stay away from him!"
The woman said coldly: "He was stabbed deep in the leg by your knife. If you don't stop the bleeding quickly, don't say anything if you can't walk. If you attract anything, you will be in trouble." Rolling up Maimai's trouser legs, while undoing the bandage, he stuffed the grass into his mouth, chewed it, and applied it to Maimai's wound.When she was moving, Mai Mai saw the blood on her palms and the remaining blood in her nails, she couldn't help being startled, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your hand?"
With a blank expression, the woman wrapped the bandage on the wheat in silence, and said in a low voice when she stood up, "You can find a way to run by yourself."
Mai Mai thought to herself that she had never deceived the military adviser just now, and now she has no chance!But the woman's expression was completely different from three hours ago. For some reason, Xiaomai felt chills down her back just looking at it.He instinctively felt that the woman's words were like an ultimatum, and he had to find a way to escape, otherwise--there might be unpredictable and serious consequences.
The military division had been staring at them over there, and at this moment he said sharply, "What are you talking about again!"
The woman replied coldly: "It is said that his injury will stop bleeding in a while."
Hengrou also scratched his calf in the night, and the bleeding has not completely stopped until now. At this time, he took off the cloth strip and looked at it, and yelled: "What did you apply to him?"
"Hemostatic herb. Anti-inflammatory and hemostatic."
"Come on, find some anti-inflammatory for me too! Damn it's raining, the wound is soaked, and after walking in the woods for a few days, it must fester!" It's not scary to have an injury, but the scariest thing is that the wound is inflamed.Especially in this humid climate, wounds are more likely to suppurate.They had no medicine on them, and if the wounds really festered, they would have died in the woods before the police came.
The woman walked over in silence, pulled out a few more grasses from the grass and threw them to Hengrou: "Chew and apply."
The military division vigilantly picked up the grass and checked it repeatedly.But he didn't know herbs, he just thought it was the same as the grass that the woman pulled out for the wheat just now, but he was extremely suspicious, and threw the grass back to the woman: "You chew it!"
The woman didn't speak, she stuffed the grass into her mouth and chewed it a few times.The military adviser stared at her for a while, seeing that she had no adverse reactions, and then let the flesh be applied to the wound.
Mai Mai watched from the side, seeing that the military division was so vigilant, he felt a little desperate again—how could he escape?And now he doesn't know where he is, even if he escapes from these people, can he get out of the forest?Shao Jing, where are you now?
Shaking his head, Maimai threw this idea out of the blue.It's meaningless to think about Shao Jing at this moment. In the past twenty years or so, he relied on himself, and now, it's still the same.
The boss was sitting on another tree root, also very tired, looking around while moving his legs: "Where is this?"
The woman looked at the banyan tree with a slightly dull expression, and said after a while: "Go a little further and you will enter the ancient road."
The boss squinted his eyes and looked forward, but there were trees in front of him, and the lush green seemed completely the same to them, let alone seeing any way out: "Where is the ancient road?"
"just in front."
Wheat is also looking around, thinking about ways to escape.The wound on his leg was a little itchy. He looked down, and suddenly found a thin black line on another tree root close to the ground. When he looked carefully, he found that it was a group of ants, forming a line and coming from there. Climb over tree roots.
Ants are not uncommon in the woods at all, but Xiaomai soon discovered that there were more than one group of ants crawling over the countless buttocks of the banyan tree. What kind of tropical rainforest weaver ants or other ants? Wheat can't remember the name, but these are not the point. Climbing in one direction.
Are these ants' nests all in one direction?This is too much of a coincidence, right?Wheat looked around again, and found that there were no other ants here, not even other insects, only these five or six ant lines of different colors, wriggling forward continuously, with neither head nor tail. .However, the direction the ants are traveling is exactly the direction of the entrance of the ancient road that the woman said.
Really just a coincidence?Or is there something weird about this ancient road?Mai Mai felt the hairs on his back stand up.In the past, he would have thought it was a coincidence, and he would not have even paid attention to the direction of the ants crawling, but since he met Shao Jing, he knew that not only reasonable things happen in this world, but more, it is you. Unexpected things.
"What else is there to eat?" The boss gasped, took the backpack that Mai Mai was carrying, looked at it, and muttered, "I need to find something to eat." Although they took the tourists with them in the car before The food search came, but most of them are snacks such as beef chips and fries. It is good to eat when you are playing, but it is useless when you go into the mountains.Now the bag is mainly water, a few breads, and a few apples. The only thing that can do the job is a large bag of beef jerky brought by some tourist, and a bag of compressed biscuits brought by themselves. Obviously, it is far from enough for eight people. To eat, not to mention how many days it takes to leave the country.
The military adviser came over to take a look, then turned around and asked the woman, "What food can I find in this woods?"
The woman sat on the root of the banyan tree and replied blankly: "Snake."
Hengrou showed a disgusted expression: "Who eats that!"
The military adviser sneered and said: "You don't understand this. Snake meat is delicious. Besides, what can you eat if you are hungry? You two go around and bring back all the living things. Otherwise, you will have to walk hungry today." .”
Hengrou stood up reluctantly, and went with the bamboo pole.At this time, the sky had completely brightened, the rain from last night was evaporated by the sun, and the woods were foggy, stuffy and damp.The dwarf turned around and came back with a big bag of mushrooms: "There are mushrooms, these things can be eaten!"
The boss frowned: "Mushrooms should not be eaten indiscriminately. Do you know which ones are poisonous and which ones are not? There are too many mushrooms in this forest, can you tell them apart?"
The military master snorted, and pointed at the woman: "Isn't there a point?" Then he pointed at Mai, "There is still a sample, what are you afraid of?"
The woman still came over without saying a word, picked out a third of the mushrooms in the bag, and threw the rest aside.The dwarf said in surprise, "Can't these be eaten?"
The woman didn't even look at him: "If you want to die, eat it."
The dwarf picked up the mushrooms she had thrown away and compared them with the ones left behind. There was really no difference, so he reluctantly threw them away.The strategist pointed at Mai: "Come here and start a fire! Hurry up!"
There were two gunshots in the woods in the distance, and after a while, Hengrou came back excitedly with the bamboo pole, carrying three rabbits: "There are rabbits! I think there are quite a few, so I don't have to worry about running out of food."
The bamboo pole grabbed two finger-thick snakes and threw them on the side of the fire: "This snake is too small to eat in one bite."
The wheat lit a fire.It was extremely difficult to start a fire in the woods after the rain, and it was only after the military division poured out the gunpowder in the bullet that it was lit.There is also a large aluminum lunch box in the backpack, I use this lunch box to cook the broth, and cook the rest on the fire.The aroma of mushrooms and meat wafted away quickly, and the military adviser let Mai take a sip first, and seeing that he had no adverse reactions for a long time, he drove him aside, and the six of them devoured it.
Mai and the woman sat and watched the six people eat.After walking all night, Mai Mai had been hungry for most of the day. At this time, she was a little staring, smelling the smell of meat, and her stomach seemed to be on fire.He pressed his stomach, turned his eyes away from the barbecue on the fire, and asked the woman carefully: "What's wrong with you?"
There was no expression on the woman's face, and only then did she answer: "My husband is dead." Her voice was very soft, almost just her lips twitching. If it weren't for Mai Mai sitting next to her with good ears, she wouldn't be able to hear it at all. .
"You, how do you know?"
A sad expression finally appeared on the woman's face: "I know...it's too late. Those bastards won't let him drink water. If he's dying of thirst, he won't be able to keep going back to the village...I know, he's dead..."
Mai Mai was very confused, so she could only comfort her and said: "People will die of thirst if they don't drink water for seven days. Once we leave, the police will definitely find them by now, and they won't die."
The woman smiled wryly, then turned to look at Mai Mai: "You are very unlucky."
Mai Mai was stunned for a moment, then nodded after a while: "Yes." It's really unlucky, not talking about dewy marriage, not talking about short life, just talking about this car, why did he single out him?
The woman turned her face and looked into the distance again: "Did you see those two big banyan trees in front? That's the entrance to the ancient road."
Wheat looks as far as the eye can see.In the woods ahead, there were indeed two huge banyan trees, which seemed bigger than the one they were sitting on now.The woman stretched out her hand to caress the banyan tree's root: "This is the banyan tree, and that is the banyan tree at the gate. When you see the banyan tree at the gate, you will be on the ancient road. If you walk through the banyan tree at the gate, you will be at the ancient land. You can only move forward, not back." She suddenly raised her voice Pressing down very low, "You have to escape before you pass the door banyan tree, otherwise - it depends on your luck. I'm sorry, I want to avenge my husband, if I have other ways, I won't take you into the ancient road." After saying this, she stood up and walked away.
Wheat froze there.No matter what the woman said, it didn't sound right. She said that she wanted to avenge her husband, which meant very clearly. She wanted to kill these six gangsters and lead them into the ancient path, which was the way to kill them.She repeatedly told him to run away, but she definitely knew that he was a foreigner and it was difficult to get out in the mountains. That is to say, even if he got lost in the mountains and couldn't get out, it was better than going on the ancient road.Where is this ancient road?
Although it was daytime, Mai was shivering all over.Because he suddenly connected the groups of ants just now with what the woman said "can only move forward and not backward", and those ants are all crawling in one direction, is it also because they can only move forward?
When the six gangsters were full, they cut off the remaining rabbit and roasted the meat for another, before calling Mai and the woman over.The woman just took a sip of the soup and didn't move.Mai Mai was very hungry, struggling to gnaw on the leftover meat with bones and tendons, while still thinking about what the woman said just now.The woman glanced at him, picked up a branch and scratched on the ground, smoothed it with her feet after a few strokes, and then stroked again.Mai Mai found out that she was scribbling, and erased every one she scribbled. He connected the words she scribbled and read it: Go through the banyan tree, don't eat living things.Bug bite mushrooms are edible.
Wheat chewed the hard-to-chew meat and nodded.He knew that it was the woman telling him what to pay attention to if he couldn't escape and walked into the ancient road, but he didn't understand why he couldn't eat living things, and what was in the living things?poisonous?But how can living things be poisonous?Is it like puffer fish, if you don't wash it clean, you will be poisoned?
The military master roasted the rabbit meat and put them in his backpack, then greeted him and set out on the road, still sandwiching the woman and the wheat.With food in his belly, he walked very briskly. Within half an hour, Xiaomai saw the two huge banyan trees in front of him.The two banyan trees both produced countless aerial roots, some of which penetrated into the ground and grew small trees, stretching for more than a hundred meters, all of these densely packed roots blocked the way like a wall, Between the trunks, there is a gap that can only accommodate one person, which really looks like a door.However, this "gateway" is full of knee-deep weeds, and it is obvious that no one has passed by it for a long time.
Mai Mai's heart was beating wildly, he pretended to twist, stood on a tree root, looked left and right, but couldn't find a chance to escape.As soon as he stopped, the man on the back stabbed him with a gun and said in a vicious voice, "What are you doing? Go away!"
"I twisted my foot, move it." Maimai pretended to move his ankle and looked around.The forest is deep and the trees are dense. If it is night, it is still possible to escape, but now it is daytime, and it is difficult to walk in the forest. If he wants to run, he can escape a little farther, and these trees can cover him, but -- Wheat Shaking his head involuntarily, let alone running away, as long as he takes three steps to the side now, the military division will shoot him to death.
"Go!" Hengrou stabbed him again.
"Immediately, I'll tie my shoelaces." Mai Mai bent down to tie up his shoelaces. He still had to try. Although the woman said that she could only go forward and not back, the door is here. If he finds a chance to escape just after entering, then back out. It should be okay to come, right?Mai Mai thought to herself as she tied her shoelaces tightly.At this time, he suddenly found that the thick-legged shoes standing behind him were covered with a layer of translucent matter, because everyone's shoes in the night shift were covered with mud, so he couldn't see it, but now that he was so close, he could see it , It was a layer of tiny, translucent, flat-bodied bugs, and he had never seen this kind of bugs before...
The woman looked at him calmly: "He's still so young, it's unlucky to be dragged out by you."
The military division laughed.In the dark night, the pale light of the emergency light shone on his face, making that cold smile unspeakably disgusting and chilling.He squatted down with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch Maimai's leg, and said slowly: "I have also been bitten by a snake. After a snake bite, the first thing is to cut the wound and let the blood flow, and the second is to tie the upper part of the wound tightly." In order to prevent the toxin from ascending, why didn’t you do these two things?”
Mai's heart skipped a beat.A ferocious expression appeared on the military adviser's face: "What's going on? You want to save him so much, why didn't you take these emergency measures?"
The expression on the woman's face also changed a bit, and she replied, "I've never been bitten by a snake, so I don't know what to do."
The military master laughed out loud, which made people feel cold: "You have never been bitten by a snake, but you know what snakes are here. Even if the locals have never been bitten by a snake, they know how to deal with it, right?" He suddenly pulled out a dagger , pressing down on Maimai's leg with one hand, and quickly slashing with a dagger with the other hand, Maimai screamed unexpectedly, his leg had been cut open, and although the blood that flowed out was diluted by the rain, it could be seen that it was red, not Poisoned look.The military master thrust the tip of the knife into the flesh maliciously, and said with a sneer, "Poisoning? Is this poisoning?"
Mai Mai's face turned pale from the pain, and she tried her best to remain silent.The military division drew out his knife and stood up, staring at the woman: "What do you want to do? You want to take this opportunity to let him run away, and then call the police to arrest us?" He spoke louder and louder, and suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist. Aiming at Maimai's head, his voice was shrill and nervous, "Want to run? I'll kill you right now!"
There was a buzzing sound in Wheat's head.He could already see that the military division was a bit nervous, and it was even more terrifying for such a person to go crazy. He was a murderous person in the first place, coupled with his nervousness - he felt that he must die here this time.At this moment, he suddenly thought of Shao Jing, where was he at this time?Is it with Shen Mobai—oh no, Zhong Lecen?Reminiscing about the past?Or, develop a new relationship?
Wheat is a little weird.Right in front of him is the small black muzzle of the gun, maybe in the next second, a bullet will be shot from it to end his life, but he is thinking sourly about Shao Jing and Zhong Lecen... Sure enough, he is too obsessed with sex. Dead or alive?

The strategist grinned, his finger on the trigger getting tighter and tighter.Seeing that the trigger was about to be pulled to the end, the boss stretched out his hand and pressed the muzzle of the gun: "Save this kid to carry his things, if he plays tricks again, he will collapse directly."
Mai Mai was cut on the leg by the military officer. The wound was not long at first, but he stabbed it in with the tip of the knife in the end, which made it deeper.The woman tore off his clothes and tied him tightly. Although the blood could not be completely stopped for a while, she had no choice but to carry her bag and continue walking.This time, the strategist stared at the woman himself, and asked the boss to follow behind Mai Mai, keeping the two of them far away.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the woman stopped suddenly.The military division immediately hit her on the back with the muzzle of a gun: "What are you doing!"
The woman didn't seem to feel it, and stood there rigidly.The dwarf shone the emergency light on her face, and saw that her face was pale, and her eyes were fixed in one direction. The military division hit her twice with the muzzle of a gun, but she didn't respond.The rain dripped down her face like tears.
Impatiently, the military master stabbed the woman in the ribs with the muzzle of the gun: "Why are you in a daze, let's go!"
The woman staggered a bit from his stabbing, covered her ribs with her hands, and turned her head to look at him.That look, under the pale light, was cold and resentful, and the military division was actually shivered by her. He instinctively raised his gun and pointed it between her eyebrows: "What are you looking at!"
The woman stared at him for a while, then turned her head to look around, then lowered her head, and walked forward again.Maimai has good eyesight, and saw that her hands were hanging by her side, but she was clenching her fists tightly. When the light came on by chance, it seemed that red liquid was oozing from her fingers, much like blood.However, it was washed by the rain and quickly faded away.
This time, I walked away in one breath for another three hours.The woman didn't say a word, she didn't even stop, she just kept walking.This time she also started to fall, and the road was more difficult to walk. When the sky brightened, everyone rolled into a mud ball.The boss finally said: "Take a break."
Mai Mai was carrying a bag, and her leg was injured again, so she couldn't hold on at first, and sat down directly regardless of where she was.The rain has stopped, the sky is slightly dewed, and the surrounding scenery can be seen clearly.This is a forest with tall trees and full of vines.Mai Mai could only recognize the banyan tree, but not the others.They are now sitting under a huge banyan tree. The plank roots of the banyan tree have been pulled out of the ground, washed clean by the rain, and they can just sit on it.The woman stood for a while, lowered her head and pulled out a few grasses in the grass, and walked towards the wheat.
The military division immediately raised his gun: "What are you doing? Stop and stay away from him!"
The woman said coldly: "He was stabbed deep in the leg by your knife. If you don't stop the bleeding quickly, don't say anything if you can't walk. If you attract anything, you will be in trouble." Rolling up Maimai's trouser legs, while undoing the bandage, he stuffed the grass into his mouth, chewed it, and applied it to Maimai's wound.When she was moving, Mai Mai saw the blood on her palms and the remaining blood in her nails, she couldn't help being startled, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with your hand?"
With a blank expression, the woman wrapped the bandage on the wheat in silence, and said in a low voice when she stood up, "You can find a way to run by yourself."
Mai Mai thought to herself that she had never deceived the military adviser just now, and now she has no chance!But the woman's expression was completely different from three hours ago. For some reason, Xiaomai felt chills down her back just looking at it.He instinctively felt that the woman's words were like an ultimatum, and he had to find a way to escape, otherwise--there might be unpredictable and serious consequences.
The military division had been staring at them over there, and at this moment he said sharply, "What are you talking about again!"
The woman replied coldly: "It is said that his injury will stop bleeding in a while."
Hengrou also scratched his calf in the night, and the bleeding has not completely stopped until now. At this time, he took off the cloth strip and looked at it, and yelled: "What did you apply to him?"
"Hemostatic herb. Anti-inflammatory and hemostatic."
"Come on, find some anti-inflammatory for me too! Damn it's raining, the wound is soaked, and after walking in the woods for a few days, it must fester!" It's not scary to have an injury, but the scariest thing is that the wound is inflamed.Especially in this humid climate, wounds are more likely to suppurate.They had no medicine on them, and if the wounds really festered, they would have died in the woods before the police came.
The woman walked over in silence, pulled out a few more grasses from the grass and threw them to Hengrou: "Chew and apply."
The military division vigilantly picked up the grass and checked it repeatedly.But he didn't know herbs, he just thought it was the same as the grass that the woman pulled out for the wheat just now, but he was extremely suspicious, and threw the grass back to the woman: "You chew it!"
The woman didn't speak, she stuffed the grass into her mouth and chewed it a few times.The military adviser stared at her for a while, seeing that she had no adverse reactions, and then let the flesh be applied to the wound.
Mai Mai watched from the side, seeing that the military division was so vigilant, he felt a little desperate again—how could he escape?And now he doesn't know where he is, even if he escapes from these people, can he get out of the forest?Shao Jing, where are you now?
Shaking his head, Maimai threw this idea out of the blue.It's meaningless to think about Shao Jing at this moment. In the past twenty years or so, he relied on himself, and now, it's still the same.
The boss was sitting on another tree root, also very tired, looking around while moving his legs: "Where is this?"
The woman looked at the banyan tree with a slightly dull expression, and said after a while: "Go a little further and you will enter the ancient road."
The boss squinted his eyes and looked forward, but there were trees in front of him, and the lush green seemed completely the same to them, let alone seeing any way out: "Where is the ancient road?"
"just in front."
Wheat is also looking around, thinking about ways to escape.The wound on his leg was a little itchy. He looked down, and suddenly found a thin black line on another tree root close to the ground. When he looked carefully, he found that it was a group of ants, forming a line and coming from there. Climb over tree roots.
Ants are not uncommon in the woods at all, but Xiaomai soon discovered that there were more than one group of ants crawling over the countless buttocks of the banyan tree. What kind of tropical rainforest weaver ants or other ants? Wheat can't remember the name, but these are not the point. Climbing in one direction.

Unexpected things.
"What else is there to eat?" The boss gasped, took the backpack that Mai Mai was carrying, looked at it, and muttered, "I need to find something to eat." Although they took the tourists with them in the car before The food search came, but most of them are snacks such as beef chips and fries. It is good to eat when you are playing, but it is useless when you go into the mountains.Now the bag is mainly water, a few breads, and a few apples. The only thing that can do the job is a large bag of beef jerky brought by some tourist, and a bag of compressed biscuits brought by themselves. Obviously, it is far from enough for eight people. To eat, not to mention how many days it takes to leave the country.
The military adviser came over to take a look, then turned around and asked the woman, "What food can I find in this woods?"
The woman sat on the root of the banyan tree and replied blankly: "Snake."
Hengrou showed a disgusted expression: "Who eats that!"
The military adviser sneered and said: "You don't understand this. Snake meat is delicious. Besides, what can you eat if you are hungry? You two go around and bring back all the living things. Otherwise, you will have to walk hungry today." .”
Hengrou stood up reluctantly, and went with the bamboo pole.At this time, the sky had completely brightened, the rain from last night was evaporated by the sun, and the woods were foggy, stuffy and damp.The dwarf turned around and came back with a big bag of mushrooms: "There are mushrooms, these things can be eaten!"
The boss frowned: "Mushrooms should not be eaten indiscriminately. Do you know which ones are poisonous and which ones are not? There are too many mushrooms in this forest, can you tell them apart?"
The military master snorted, and pointed at the woman: "Isn't there a point?" Then he pointed at Mai, "There is still a sample, what are you afraid of?"
The woman still came over without saying a word, picked out a third of the mushrooms in the bag, and threw the rest aside.The dwarf said in surprise, "Can't these be eaten?"
The woman didn't even look at him: "If you want to die, eat it."
The dwarf picked up the mushrooms she had thrown away and compared them with the ones left behind. There was really no difference, so he reluctantly threw them away.The strategist pointed at Mai: "Come here and start a fire! Hurry up!"
There were two gunshots in the woods in the distance, and after a while, Hengrou came back excitedly with the bamboo pole, carrying three rabbits: "There are rabbits! I think there are quite a few, so I don't have to worry about running out of food."
The bamboo pole grabbed two finger-thick snakes and threw them on the side of the fire: "This snake is too small to eat in one bite."
The wheat lit a fire.It was extremely difficult to start a fire in the woods after the rain, and it was only after the military division poured out the gunpowder in the bullet that it was lit.There is also a large aluminum lunch box in the backpack, I use this lunch box to cook the broth, and cook the rest on the fire.The aroma of mushrooms and meat wafted away quickly, and the military adviser let Mai take a sip first, and seeing that he had no adverse reactions for a long time, he drove him aside, and the six of them devoured it.
Mai and the woman sat and watched the six people eat.After walking all night, Mai Mai had been hungry for most of the day. At this time, she was a little staring, smelling the smell of meat, and her stomach seemed to be on fire.He pressed his stomach, turned his eyes away from the barbecue on the fire, and asked the woman carefully: "What's wrong with you?"
There was no expression on the woman's face, and only then did she answer: "My husband is dead." Her voice was very soft, almost just her lips twitching. If it weren't for Mai Mai sitting next to her with good ears, she wouldn't be able to hear it at all. .
"You, how do you know?"
A sad expression finally appeared on the woman's face: "I know...it's too late. Those bastards won't let him drink water. If he's dying of thirst, he won't be able to keep going back to the village...I know, he's dead..."
Mai Mai was very confused, so she could only comfort her and said: "People will die of thirst if they don't drink water for seven days. Once we leave, the police will definitely find them by now, and they won't die."
The woman smiled wryly, then turned to look at Mai Mai: "You are very unlucky."
Mai Mai was stunned for a moment, then nodded after a while: "Yes." It's really unlucky, not talking about dewy marriage, not talking about short life, just talking about this car, why did he single out him?
The woman turned her face and looked into the distance again: "Did you see those two big banyan trees in front? That's the entrance to the ancient road."
Wheat looks as far as the eye can see.In the woods ahead, there were indeed two huge banyan trees, which seemed bigger than the one they were sitting on now.The woman stretched out her hand to caress the banyan tree's root: "This is the banyan tree, and that is the banyan tree at the gate. When you see the banyan tree at the gate, you will be on the ancient road. If you walk through the banyan tree at the gate, you will be at the ancient land. You can only move forward, not back." She suddenly raised her voice Pressing down very low, "You have to escape before you pass the door banyan tree, otherwise - it depends on your luck. I'm sorry, I want to avenge my husband, if I have other ways, I won't take you into the ancient road." After saying this, she stood up and walked away.
Wheat froze there.No matter what the woman said, it didn't sound right. She said that she wanted to avenge her husband, which meant very clearly. She wanted to kill these six gangsters and lead them into the ancient path, which was the way to kill them.She repeatedly told him to run away, but she definitely knew that he was a foreigner and it was difficult to get out in the mountains. That is to say, even if he got lost in the mountains and couldn't get out, it was better than going on the ancient road.Where is this ancient road?
Although it was daytime, Mai was shivering all over.Because he suddenly connected the groups of ants just now with what the woman said "can only move forward and not backward", and those ants are all crawling in one direction, is it also because they can only move forward?
When the six gangsters were full, they cut off the remaining rabbit and roasted the meat for another, before calling Mai and the woman over.The woman just took a sip of the soup and didn't move.Mai Mai was very hungry, struggling to gnaw on the leftover meat with bones and tendons, while still thinking about what the woman said just now.The woman glanced at him, picked up a branch and scratched on the ground, smoothed it with her feet after a few strokes, and then stroked again.Mai Mai found out that she was scribbling, and erased every one she scribbled. He connected the words she scribbled and read it: Go through the banyan tree, don't eat living things.Bug bite mushrooms are edible.
Wheat chewed the hard-to-chew meat and nodded.He knew that it was the woman telling him what to pay attention to if he couldn't escape and walked into the ancient road, but he didn't understand why he couldn't eat living things, and what was in the living things?poisonous?But how can living things be poisonous?Is it like puffer fish, if you don't wash it clean, you will be poisoned?
The military master roasted the rabbit meat and put them in his backpack, then greeted him and set out on the road, still sandwiching the woman and the wheat.With food in his belly, he walked very briskly. Within half an hour, Xiaomai saw the two huge banyan trees in front of him.The two banyan trees both produced countless aerial roots, some of which penetrated into the ground and grew small trees, stretching for more than a hundred meters, all of these densely packed roots blocked the way like a wall, Between the trunks, there is a gap that can only accommodate one person, which really looks like a door.However, this "gateway" is full of knee-deep weeds, and it is obvious that no one has passed by it for a long time.
Mai Mai's heart was beating wildly, he pretended to twist, stood on a tree root, looked left and right, but couldn't find a chance to escape.As soon as he stopped, the man on the back stabbed him with a gun and said in a vicious voice, "What are you doing? Go away!"
"I twisted my foot, move it." Maimai pretended to move his ankle and looked around.The forest is deep and the trees are dense. If it is night, it is still possible to escape, but now it is daytime, and it is difficult to walk in the forest. If he wants to run, he can escape a little farther, and these trees can cover him, but -- Wheat Shaking his head involuntarily, let alone running away, as long as he takes three steps to the side now, the military division will shoot him to death.
"Go!" Hengrou stabbed him again.
"Immediately, I'll tie my shoelaces." Mai Mai bent down to tie up his shoelaces. He still had to try. Although the woman said that she could only go forward and not back, the door is here. If he finds a chance to escape just after entering, then back out. It should be okay to come, right?Mai Mai thought to herself as she tied her shoelaces tightly.At this time, he suddenly found that the thick-legged shoes standing behind him were covered with a layer of translucent matter, because everyone's shoes in the night shift were covered with mud, so he couldn't see it, but now that he was so close, he could see it , It was a layer of tiny, translucent, flat-bodied bugs, and he had never seen this kind of bugs before...
