Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One

After the sky was completely dark, the moon gradually rose.I found a tree nest to lean against, and for the first time felt a little shaken in my heart.I'm wondering, am I going in the wrong direction entirely?Is it because I walked all the way before, and the traces I followed were the wrong route?I also forget that I learned the method of looking for traces based on the damage of the trees from TV, or the fat man taught it. Is it completely bluffing? "It's only the first day," I said to myself immediately, and began to think about what the fat man would do last night.If he finds out that I'm gone, he can't go back alone, and then continue walking with the team as if nothing happened.Because the fake Wu Xie and I have disappeared, he can definitely guess that I must have been taken away by the fake Wu Xie, and the fat man will definitely go back and notify others.

No, the fat man will not notify other people.Judging from his performance, he doesn't trust anyone now.Moreover, what would he say when he went back? If Pan Zi was here, he might have informed Pan Zi, but now he will definitely look for me outside alone. I continued to speculate on what I would think first if I were in his shoes.I would feel that I was taken away by the fake Wu Xie, and the fake Wu Xie would either bring me back to the team of foreigners or kill me.He will judge which possibility is higher according to the situation at that time, and then take corresponding measures.Anyway, it's very likely that he's looking for me around by himself.

Of course, I will not ignore another possibility, that is, after the guy finishes me, he will go back to ambush the fat man.But I believe that the fat man is not so easily ambushed. The guy who dragged me so far and pushed me up the steep slope must have wanted the fat man to find me.From this indication, this possibility is not great.It is more reliable to think that the fat man is looking for me. However, although the fat man has good eyesight, under the circumstances at that time, he could only come to me by shouting my name, but I was in a deep coma at the time. If I found someone and shouted all night, that person didn't respond. How would I do it?He must have waited until dawn before looking for the traces left by him.

Apparently the fat man didn't find me, but the area is very large, so it might not be possible to find it all in one day.There's a good chance he's resting somewhere in the zone right now as well.With Fatty's character, he won't give up so quickly. Thinking, I looked up at the moon in the sky.There is silence all around, only the slight sound of insects, which is much quieter than the midsummer when we first came.I realized it was a good time to take a break. I found a tree to climb to its top, but found it very difficult, so I continued up the gentle slope until I had a clear view of the whole valley.In fact, I didn't reach any high position later, but just stood at the corner of a tree's crown.After standing still, I started to shout at the top of my voice: "Fatty!"

With a sound, almost all the insects stopped calling.This angle seems to be a coincidence, the sound of going down actually echoed in the opposite mountain, and a flock of birds was startled in the valley. I was a little surprised, but then I didn't care about it. I immediately let go and continued to bark. After barking a few times, I stopped and listened carefully for the echo of the fat man.There was no answer, no matter how you called, the wind in the valley was all around your ears. I thought to myself, maybe the fat man’s voice is not transmitted through a natural loudspeaker like mine, so I can’t hear it. I wonder if I should get some kind of torch out so that he can find my direction, and then With my voice calling him, maybe he can find me here.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of bushes rubbing against the gentle slope below me. I didn't have a flashlight, so I looked down by the moonlight, and the bottom was mottled, and I couldn't see anything. "Fatty?" I called out immediately.Hearing movement in the bushes, he quickly ran from one side to the other, very fast. I immediately shut up, thinking that if Fatty could move in the bushes at such a fast speed, then he must be a ninja of Fat Galyu.There must be an animal below, and the sound is not small. I thought of the lynx in the mountains, touched the ground at my feet, and said to myself that I am lucky, there are so many rocks around me.I grabbed a stone next to me and threw it towards the place where the movement came from.

The stone hit the bushes and bounced several times.I tossed two more, sure to miss, but the thing went away quickly, and the bushes shook until the thing slowly disappeared. I thought to myself, is it a wild boar or something?I breathed a sigh of relief, and said to myself that I must find a tree to climb up, otherwise in this case, the possibility of encountering a wild beast is very high.I must rest well tonight, or I will be useless tomorrow.The more one day goes on, the lower the probability of my survival. If I can't find any clues at noon tomorrow, I have to go back to the place where there is a stream to drink water, and find a way to go out along the stream.

That stream is supposed to be the canal leading to the edge of Banai, at least I hope so. I held on to the trunk and walked down the gentle slope again.At this time, I was already struggling to walk, and I just wanted to find a place with lush bushes as soon as possible, and go to sleep after shouting a few more times.After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt something was wrong. In the mottled moonlight, I saw a dwarf tree in the dark, which looked a little strange. I shuddered, stood still and looked carefully, and suddenly found that it was not a tree, but a person. It was a ghostly figure with completely collapsed shoulders. He stood in the darkness, motionless, and I couldn't even tell if he was already there.

I froze in there, not knowing if I should pounce on him and grab him, or turn around and run.Then I realized that I can't do these two behaviors now, and the choice should be in his hands. I simply stopped moving and just stood there looking at him.He didn't move either, and in the darkness I didn't even know if he was facing me or his back was facing me. If his back was facing me, then he would just stick his face against a tree and remain motionless. That would be a really creepy picture. Is this thing still human? My palms started to sweat, and after a stalemate for a while, I suddenly saw him standing in a very strange posture, probably because of his body structure, that posture did not seem like a human can do it.

I guessed for a while, and realized that it meant to let me walk over, and I couldn't help but buzzed my head, and then I realized that the shadow had already moved, and walked down the gentle slope. This is—let me follow him? I was puzzled, and saw the shadow walk a few steps, stop, and make a movement.It's still the same meaning-let me follow. I thought about it and realized that if he was against me, it didn't need to be. In the wilderness, he didn't kill me no matter what, and if I didn't go, he would be really unhappy and kill me, and it wouldn't be worthwhile for me.

I held on to the trunk and walked forward with him. All the way forward, I don't know how long I walked, every time I couldn't hold on, he would stop and wait for me.After walking for a while, he stopped suddenly, and I stopped immediately, not daring to get too close to him, because I had a sense of fear in my heart about his true appearance. I looked up and found that there was a huge rock in front of me, so big that I couldn't see the top at all.Under the moonlight, a huge cave entrance appeared on the rock wall, and there was a faint light of fire inside. He walked into the cave without looking back. I hesitated for a moment, thinking that I couldn't enter the tiger's den, so I followed in.A few meters after entering the cave, the fire became brighter, and I saw that the man was already sitting on the edge of the fire, and the original black shadow was clearly illuminated. He motioned for me to sit down in front of him.My heart beat faster, looking at his face and body, trembling slightly. That was indeed a person, at least he should have been before, but now, no one would doubt that he came from another world. The whole person was like a ball of wax, which first melted quickly, and all the skin was pitted and rotten, but the melting process seemed to stop quickly.He has almost no shoulders, and his hands hang on both sides of his body. All the flesh and skin on his shoulders are wrapped with his body, and the joints inside can be seen through the thin skin covering the bones of his shoulders. His face was all melted away, and his hair was very long, very unkempt, and almost all tied together. But I found out that he has no beard.If the hair was that long, the beard would be very long anyway.But I can't see a beard on this man's face. I felt a little trembling in my heart, and thought of a possibility that made me uncomfortable: Could this be a woman? He was bare-chested, but it was completely impossible to tell from his upper body whether he was a man or a woman.With his physical appearance damaged to such a state, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman.But if a man becomes like this, I can still accept it. After all, if I put myself into this kind of life, as long as my heart sinks, I can't handle it.If it was a woman, how pitiful she would be. Maybe it's just the hair follicles on the face that have been damaged, I thought to myself.I can't pick up his pants to distinguish between men and women. He didn't speak, just picked the dead branches and leaves on one side with his hands, and then threw them into the bonfire, and the bonfire slowly flourished.I slowly saw that there were other remarkable things in the cave.
