Legend of Ishi

Inanna stood on a high place and stared blankly at the desolation and majesty for a long time, but she was anxious in her heart whether she could really leave this strange and magical land by herself. Be prepared to deal with aliens.

Until she realized that the sun was still hanging in the sky, although it was westward, there was no sign of changing its orbit.

Inanna finally calmed down a little. The orbit of the sun has not changed, and the probability of her being on the earth is relatively high, but what if the earth has been invaded by aliens?

After holding her breath, she walked through the valley and climbed the mountain, her throat was so thirsty that it was smoking. She saw that there was a shallow and wide canyon at the foot of the mountain, and there was still some green at the bottom, so she planned to speed up her pace to get there before dark.Otherwise, unless you go back the same way, you will die of thirst if you are not exhausted.

The way down the mountain was much easier, but the untouched natural slope was extremely trembling, and Inanna's big toe kept pressing hard on the front of her sneakers, causing a dull pain.If she encounters a rock that is smooth and hard to apply, she will basically sit on it and go down in a awkward position.

It was dangerous but efficient, and Inanna had reached the entrance of the canyon when the sun still had a ray of light on the horizon.

With the orange light of the sunset on the horizon, Inanna was disappointed to find that there was no one in the canyon either.Except for those rock peaks and stone pillars with different shapes, some of which are especially wretched, the valley is not as desolate and barren as the plain outside, but is full of vegetation.

On the contrary, it was more difficult to walk than the dirt road outside. Inanna carefully avoided the entangled weeds and went deep.

She kept going until she found a small stream beside the rocks, and then she stopped.With water, she wouldn't die of thirst today, but she didn't dare to drink too much. The stomachs of modern people can't accept drinking water directly from the wild.

Inanna squatted by the stream, carefully took a few sips of water, wiped her face, looked around for a place to spend the night, and suddenly found a hole in a rock peak not far away, but it was hard to see if it was there at dusk. Traces of artificial excavation.

But even that made Inanna ecstatic.

She had a flat stomach, but she was full of strength in an instant. She climbed to the top of the rock peak along the not-so-steep slope in three steps at a time, and burrowed into the cave.

The sun's rays were no longer enough to illuminate the interior of the cave, but Inanna could still make out traces of artificial decoration here.The layout of the cave is very simple, but two cave-like spaces were artificially dug out, a hole was opened in the wall connecting the inner and outer spaces, and a simple small ladder was dug beside the hole for people to climb in and out.On the wall of the room where Inanna was, there was still a strip of feldspar, which looked like a chair.

Three flat-bottomed pits were dug in the ground, and it was pitch black inside. Inanna judged that someone had set fire to them.

She cheered up all of a sudden, if there were people living here, it was only a matter of time before she met them, and she just had to persevere until she found someone to ask for help.

After making up her mind, she searched back and forth between the two rooms a few times, and found a small alcove piled with pine branches, dry firewood and dead leaves.

She carried these things back to the room at the entrance, piled some at the bottom of the pit, and put the others aside for later use.Then racking her brains to figure out how to start the fire, she first picked two sharp-edged stones and knocked them against each other.But until the shock made my hands hurt so badly that I was about to grind out blood blisters, I didn't see a single spark.

Inanna couldn't help it, so she took out the Swiss Army knife she was carrying, and hit the rock with the steel-plastic blade. Sparks appeared, but they didn't land where they should fall, and disappeared after a flash.

Inanna didn't give up, she moved closer, endured the pain and continued to try, and after several failed attempts, she succeeded in lighting the small fire.She was afraid that the night wind would blow out the fire that had finally ignited, so she quickly got up and sat on the wind vent to block it, and kept throwing dry branches and dead leaves into it with her hands.

The temperature difference between day and night in this ghost place is huge, just now Inanna was shivering even after putting on all the clothes on her body, but now she managed to light the fire to warm her body a little.But her stomach was so hungry that it seemed as if there was a thunderous drum beating inside, Inanna couldn't help reaching out to the withered leaves, and finally grabbed a handful and threw it into the fire instead of her own mouth.

When it was dawn, she woke up from the cold, and found that the fire had already been extinguished because no one was adding firewood, and she curled up on the cold ground, her stomach was so hungry that she felt thirsty again. .

Inanna's stomach was empty, her head was dizzy, and she had to lean on the wall to sit up.After a short rest and sobering up, she told herself that the sooner she found traces of human beings, the more chance she would have of surviving.

Thinking about it this way, she was finally able to stand up on her own legs, and slowly descended from the quaint "hotel" to the ground.

It was not yet full light, and the night wind was blowing the weeds and leaves, and the "rustling" sound was unnerving, but Inanna had no time to take care of it. The road ahead beyond the canyon was inexplicable. Any container that can be loaded is found in the cave.She struggled for a while, and took out the few aluminum foils from her trouser pocket.

She put aside the floating point, thread, and luminous ones. She had no choice but to choose a strawberry-flavored one, tore off the aluminum foil, washed the sticky lubricant in the stream, and then filled it with a liter of water. Tighten the "water bag" and set out on the road.

Don't think that things like condoms look good with those wretched-looking rocks, but when surviving in the wild, it can also be used for other great purposes.

Inanna's resentment towards Gu Beikun suddenly eased a little, but when she turned her head and thought that this man was the culprit of all this, she couldn't help but spit twice on this villain whose life and death are unknown now.

Inanna's luck improved on the second day, when more and more chiselled pinnacles appeared as she traveled further in the canyon.Inanna even saw a rather large "prehistoric villa" with several caves excavated along the way, which strengthened her idea of ​​finding the local residents.

After noon, when the heat was unbearable, Inanna was so dehydrated that she could even walk shakyly because of hypoglycemia, and when her eyes were blurred, she unexpectedly saw several crooked grape trellises.

The grapes had been picked long ago, but some of the rotten ones were left on the vines, the skins were dry and spotted, and almost lost their moisture in the sun. Inanna tiptoed to pick all the shriveled and rotten grapes she could reach, Regardless of the pungent sour smell, he rushed down the water in the "water bag" and swallowed it with his eyes closed.

Inanna was really hungry. She was born in the modern society and had never eaten moldy food.In order to prevent herself from vomiting, she swallowed without chewing.

The fruits and vegetables produced on this plateau have always been juicy, sweet and crispy, but it is a pity that Inanna at this time does not have such a good taste.

After hastily filling their stomachs, the rotten grapes have also run out.Inanna began to think about where to live tonight, and she walked deep into the canyon for a whole day tonight, but there was still no sign of anyone, as if she was the only living person in this endless land.This feeling makes the hairs stand on end even when walking in the midday sun.

While praying to unknown gods from the east and the west to meet someone quickly, she looked at which "hotel" she would rest in tonight.

With more and more holed rock peaks, Inanna had a choice.She took a fancy to the family that was closest to the mountain wall and the easiest to climb up.

The owner of this house seems to be full of family spirit, the slope for going up and down at the door is well prepared, and occasionally a few anti-slip pits can be guessed.In addition to the simple rooms and shallow fire pits that Inanna had seen before, she found that the owner had also dug a lot of holes in the walls for easy storage of things.

Inanna curled her lips. Does this store still need storage racks for food, rice, oil, salt, and bottles?But Mingming came all the way, she was still curious and wanted to search at the beginning, she climbed several holes in a row, and the result was that the house was completely empty, as clean as if it had been washed by a flood.

Is this family a middle class?

It was still early, and she searched the cave before and after while the sun was still powerful.It was also two rooms, but there was a natural hollow at the back of the inner one. After getting out, Inanna found a place to stay outside the cave, facing the canyon wall.But that rock wall is different from other places. The stone has been excavated extremely flat, with large and small square holes dug on it, just like a honeycomb.

Inanna felt strange in her heart, but she really couldn't see what use this honeycomb-like rock wall could be used for. The most urgent task now was to find a way to start a fire and spend the second night safely.

Thinking of this, Inanna's stomach became hungry again. She wondered if she could find some rotten grapes tomorrow like today. , is a delicacy for Inanna who is in trouble now.

She looked at the "hotel" which was so plain that there was nothing there, and finally found a clay pot from the corner.Thinking that I haven't washed properly for several days, and I can drink some boiled hot water in the cold night, I want to set up the clay pot and burn it.

After slowly pouring the water from the newly filled "water bag" into the clay pot, Inanna was about to repeat the same trick. When she lit the fire before dark, she heard a melodious ringing of bells and The hoofbeats of animals, mixed with the voices that I couldn't hear clearly.

Inanna leaned the clay pot against the wall, and was about to step out of the hole to check the entrance, but she heard the sound of vigorous steps climbing up quickly in her ears.

At that moment, Inanna had many thoughts in her mind. Seeing the footsteps approaching, she knew that these strangers had taken a fancy to the house she had chosen tonight.Now that the sun was about to set, she didn't know who the other party was. Inanna bit her lip, picked up her knife, went back inside, stuck it to the natural hollow behind, and hid on the small platform.

The voices of people below became more and more noisy, and there were many animals' "咴咴" sounds and the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground. Uninvited guests had already entered the cave, and there were more than one. Inanna held the knife tightly, not daring to act rashly at all. .

She didn't know what was waiting for her, maybe an alien?

God bless her a Predator.
