Chapter 8 Chapter Eight: The First Night: The Fog

Originally, according to Pan Zi's estimate, if we drove overnight and walked for another five or six hours, if there were no major accidents, we could reach the position of the signal smoke before midnight today. It is calculated that the temperature changes before sunset, and after the heavy rain, there will be fog in the sea of ​​trees. As a result, we couldn't move forward at all, and we continued to march through the forest for another 20 minutes relying on the compass. Although Pan Zi was very anxious, he didn't dare to move forward. Although our direction can be kept correct, we cannot travel in a straight line in the forest, and now the visibility is even lower. It is very likely that we will not notice it when we pass by the third uncle’s camp, and we may even take an S-shaped route all the time.

Coupled with the reduced visibility, walking in such a rainforest is extremely exhausting, and it has reached an unbearable level. If you can't walk a few meters, you have to stop to catch your breath. The gray surroundings also make people extremely uneasy. The fog was getting thicker and thicker. When we stopped, the visibility almost dropped to zero. We could only see a black shadow one meter away. It was ridiculously dark under the canopy, but now it was like night. We had to When I turn on the miner's lamp, I feel that I am not in the jungle, but in a cave full of trees. Pan Zi said that it was impossible to reach the third uncle according to the original plan, and now he could only find a safe place to rest for a while and wait until the fog subsided a little before starting to move forward. Generally speaking, this kind of fog will disappear after dark will gradually dissipate.Come and go quickly.

Pan Zi has jungle experience, and what he said cannot be refuted. I am really relieved. I feel like I have come back from the closed door of hell. If I continue to walk, I may die of overwork and exhaustion. We found a withered and rotten tree that had collapsed in the mud. When the huge tree collapsed, it overwhelmed the nearby trees. There was a little more space around it. We rested on it. At first, Pan Zi said that we couldn’t make a fire, but in the end it was really uncomfortable. It was no good, so I collected some dry branches and dead vines nearby, poured oil on them and made a bonfire.

These dry branches and dead vines are said to be a fire, but in fact they are all wet. At the beginning, there was black smoke. After drying, the bonfire started to flourish. Just drop it in. It was so exhausting that even the most restless fat man fell silent, and we each rested. When I took off my shoes, I found that the socks were completely worn out, like a net bag, and the soles of my feet were full of blisters.After returning from Changbai Mountain, the soles of my feet were covered with a thick layer of calluses. At that time, I thought it would never be possible to get blisters again. Unexpectedly, this road is not the most difficult, only more difficult.

Massaging the soles of the feet and the muscles on the calves, Pan Zi recalled the route we traveled just now, saying that we couldn't see the smoke at night, and the smoke will definitely be extinguished tomorrow morning. We can basically know our position now, so we need to make a mark.The fat man redistributed the equipment and continued to move the things in my backpack to theirs. I'm a little embarrassed, but it's impossible to lose face at this time. I can't keep up with my physical strength. The fat man asked me to sleep for a while, saying that I would rest so tensely that the more I rested, the more tired I would be. I didn't want to be brave, so I closed my eyes.

However, he was already overtired at this time, and the surrounding environment was really hard to calm people down. After squinting for a few minutes, he couldn't fall asleep in a daze, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind. Just a little sleepy, I heard the fat man ask Pan Zi softly: "Da Pan, to be honest, if we get to that place and your third master is not there, what are your plans?" Pan Zi said: "I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die. Of course I want to look for them. What are you thinking about?" The fat man said: "I'm here to make a fortune, not to wipe your ass. Your third master didn't follow the plan and messed things up. Xiao Wu woke up and I didn't say anything about taking care of the fat man. But I can't say it now, I have to say my ugly words first, if your third master is gone, I took my share of equipment, but I can do my business alone, this forest is so big, I won't follow you to find it Their."

Pan Zi sneered and said, "Disband? This forest is very mysterious. We haven't encountered a situation yet. If you encounter a situation, you can handle it alone? Besides, the Gobi is hundreds of kilometers away. Even if you touch something and get out alive, you can survive alone." Go out of the Gobi?" The fat man laughed, didn't answer, and said, "You fat man, who am I? These old men have their own plans. Let me tell you in advance, so I don't need to worry about you." However, judging from his tone, it seems to be right This matter has a well-thought-out plan.

Pan Zi shook his head, sighed and said, "I won't force you on this matter, you can go with you when you get the equipment, but don't expect us to rescue you when you are in trouble, and don't expect to get a share of what we touch. .” "You're still bluffing me, and you don't inquire about it. I'm the ancestor of bluffing Fat Master." The fat man said, "Fatty Master, I've figured it out a long time ago. Your third master didn't come in this time to touch the ghost weapon at all. If I find something good, I can only do it alone, just like that little brother, who lost his game, and the previous two times that little brother dumped us, maybe he touched a lot of fat, and we don't know."

I couldn't help laughing when I heard it, and I said to myself that I'm sure that Poker didn't dump us for money. The fat man saw that I wasn't asleep, so he didn't say anything, he just said: "What do you listen to when the adults talk, go and go, go and sleep when you sleep." I feel in my heart that the fat man knows that I am taking a nap. There is something in these words, which should be for me, but I don’t know what he wants to express. It seems to remind me that the stuffy oil bottle disappears every time. Is it him? Noticed something, would you like to speak to me privately?

However, on this occasion, it is impossible for me to avoid Pan Zi, so I can only wait for the opportunity without making any gestures, and I am too tired to think about these complicated things at all. Afterwards, everyone fell into silence again. I leaned against a branch on one side, gradually calmed down, and fell asleep, not even knowing how I fell asleep. During the period, I should have had some dreams again, but I slept too deeply, and the dreams were all hazy.I don't know how long I slept, but I woke up and found that the surrounding fog had lightened a lot. I looked at my watch and found that I had slept for less than three hours.

I slept quite well, and my spirit recovered a lot at once, but my body was sore like rust, which seemed worse than before. I also thought that it would be impossible to have this kind of muscle soreness in the future. There is no way to escape. I moved a bit, relaxed my muscles and bones, and felt much better. Then I saw the fat man sitting there, looking up at a tree.Pan Zi was not seen around. I felt strange and asked him, "Where's Pan Zi?" The fat man immediately gestured to me not to speak, and pointed to the tree. I pressed my waist, stood up enduring the pain all over my body, walked to his side, looked up, and saw the blurred shadow of the moon in the mist, there seemed to be someone on the tree, and Pan Zi seemed to have climbed up the tree. I asked what happened?This kid is now a monkey and likes to rest on trees.The fat man said softly: "There was some movement just now, he climbed up to have a look." Before the words were finished, there was a hiss from the tree, telling us not to talk. We quickly calmed down, looked at him, waited for a while, and saw Pan Zi gesturing to us, telling us to climb the tree immediately.
