Chapter 763 Cutting Trees and Crossing the Stream
Uncle Zamu looked guilty.
"I didn't expect them to go crazy when they smelled blood."
Jiang Heping was carefree and patted Uncle Zamu on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's not your fault, you didn't expect it."
"Yes, this fish is interested in flesh and blood. It's because we have too much blood in our bodies."
Yin He also tried to smooth things over.
Uncle Zamu is the only guide, and we can't have a conflict with him because of this matter.
But, does he really not know about this?
Zamu has relied on Ailao Mountain for his livelihood all his life. No one knows how many times he has come here, but he has never encountered anything unusual about this stream. Is there anything wrong with it?
Yin He couldn't help but question himself.
Seeing that Jiang Heping had no doubt about the guide, Yin He felt that he might be overthinking it.
No one else blamed Uncle Zamu. He had not been injured before, and of course he was safe after taking a short rest by the stream.
This time they are unlucky!
We rested for two hours by the stream.
Shen Lu leaned directly on Lu Xingye's arms and slept for two hours.
She was really sleepy and very tired.
After Shen Lu fell asleep, Lu Xingye chose to close his eyes and rest on the surface, but in fact he was more alert than anyone else.
He opened his eyes at the slightest movement.
Yin He handed him a cigarette.
Lu Xingye rejected with his eyes.
He basically doesn't smoke.
Cigarettes had no appeal to Lu Xingye.
"We've been unlucky on this trip. We ran into you guys right away."
“I don’t know whether the road ahead will be smooth or not.”
What Yin He was worried about was not himself, but the safety of his four subordinates and Shen Lu and the others.
"Do you think it's just bad luck for us, or is it man-made?" Lu Xingye didn't say anything, but typed on his mobile phone for Yin He to see.
Yin He's expression changed: "What did you find?"
He really didn't know what the problem was. Shen Lu and Lu Xingye lived in a cabin, and he set up a tent outside.
Lu Xingye typed: "There's a problem with the firewood in the cabin."
However, Lu Xingye also shared his and Shen Lu's inferences.
One is that when picking up firewood, he didn't pay attention and accidentally picked up firewood stained with sheep feces.
Another possibility is that someone deliberately mixed in firewood stained with goat feces.
Yin He glanced towards Jiang Heping.
Jiang Heping was distributing dry food to Uncle Zamu.
They had been walking for most of the day and were completely exhausted.
Not only tired, but also hungry.
Now that I have some dry food, it's a good time to have breakfast before continuing on my way.
Who on earth is it?
There must be more than one suspect.
They also cooked a pot of soup with dried mushrooms and wild vegetables.
Eating this soup mixed with dry food is better than eating dry food alone.
There are also self-heating rice and self-heating hot pot, and you can boil water to make your own.
But early in the morning, no one wanted to eat these, and it was more convenient to eat dry food.
Shen Lu woke up to the smell of mushroom soup.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Lu Xingye discovered it.
"You're awake. Do you want some soup?" Lu Xingye brought a bowl of hot soup to Shen Lu.
Shen Lu was indeed hungry, so she took it, blew on it, and found the temperature was right, so she drank a few sips.
Lu Xingye handed her some dry food again.
Shen Lu ate some with soup.
After everyone has finished eating, we continue on our journey.
"We have to walk across this stream." Uncle Zamu pointed to the stream with everyone.
This is not easy to do!
Everyone couldn't help but turn pale when they thought of the soldier who was bitten by piranhas and was covered in wounds.
If you really walk through the water, the fish will bite you when they smell the blood.
Some of the protective clothing has been bitten by wolves and can no longer provide absolute protection.
The only solution now is to build a bridge.
"If we build a bridge, it will waste time." Yin He frowned.
Jiang Heping clapped his hands and said, "There's no need to make it so complicated. Just chop down a few big trees and it will be fine."
"This stream is not deep."
"Let's cut down a big tree and put it directly over there."
The stream is not wide, and any towering tree can span both sides of the stream.
This is indeed the best way nowadays.
Jiang Heping's soldiers acted immediately and showed their advantage at this time.
When it comes to tree felling, they are professionals and very good!
Not long after, a big tree was cut down.
Because the tree was cut in the place closest to the stream, it fell over just right!
Although there is a little bit of it on the water surface, as long as everyone runs fast, the piranhas can't catch up.
With this premise, everyone quickly crossed the stream.
Shen Lu and his group were the first to go over. Although their speed was not fast, there was not much water on the trees at the beginning, so it was not too slippery.
Later on, life became increasingly difficult for everyone.
Uncle Zamu was among the first group to go over.
After he passed by, he looked for the way.
"The last time I came here, I seemed to have walked this way, but I'm not sure anymore."
If Uncle Zamu had always had a clear goal, Yin He might have been more suspicious of him.
But now the other person seemed to be lost, which made Yin He less sure.
"Let's try this way. I remember there was a dead tree here the last time we came here."
"Be careful!" Someone reminded Uncle Zamu as soon as he finished speaking.
Uncle Zamu was startled and looked up to see a spotted snake approaching him.
There was a dagger nailed into the snake's head.
The person who reminded him just now was Yin He who had been observing him.
Uncle Zamu patted his chest and said, "Captain Yin, thank you for saving Zamu's life!"
"These snakes are venomous and often blend in with trees, making it impossible to spot them immediately."
"My neighbor's father died in Mount Ailao because of this kind of snake."
Uncle Zamu still feels scared when he thinks about how his neighbor's father died.
If the snake had not been nailed to death, he might have been the one bitten by the snake.
If this snake bites him, can he survive?
There are many terrifying creatures in Mount Ailao, not only this kind of snake, but even a small insect can take your life.
Next, everyone was very careful.
They crossed the stream and walked upstream along the current.
The road ahead became increasingly difficult to walk on, as there were basically no human traces in such a forest, so everyone had to open up new paths as they went.
The axes they were using were all bent, and two more people followed, one was bitten on the head by an insect, and the other was poisoned by a spider.
Everyone was still spraying Shen Lu's floral water.
Ordinary insects and ants really don't dare to get close.
But some things fall directly from the trees and land on your head or neck, making it impossible to guard against them.
Fortunately, there were two doctors, Shen Lu and Song Hanzhang, and the two injured and poisoned soldiers were quickly treated by them.
Shen Lu is very professional in detoxification.
Generally, there are detoxifying herbs nearby.
As long as the poison is removed, the rest will be a small problem.
