Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

The distance of the intercom from home to the lake is even further.

The straight-line distance in between was several kilometers. As long as he stood outside the forest, he would definitely be able to talk to Mu Xi at his speed.

"Mu Xi Mu Xi, can you hear me?"

Her words had just passed through, and she received a response within two seconds, "I can hear you, why are you here? It's almost dark and it's not safe. Go back quickly."

"It's only around four o'clock. I'll be back in a moment. How are you doing there? Is everything going well?"

Mu Xi paused and glanced at his lower body. From his knees down, it was covered in mud. He was thinking about reporting the good news or not, but suddenly he thought of the time he was injured and didn't say anything about it. Later, when Zhao Yeqing found out, he was angry for several days. Ignore him.

I still chose to tell the truth, "I'm okay, I'm not hurt. I just encountered a swamp. I found it as soon as I stepped in, but I will come out soon. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Zhao Yeqing's heart skipped a beat, "Swamp? The kind of place you've seen on TV where you sink when you walk in?"

"It's not that scary. There is water above and mud below. I looked at a shallow layer of water and tried to swim through it. Unexpectedly, my foot got stuck in it. Fortunately, it was on the shore. I found a support and pulled my foot out. "

Zhao Yeqing was relieved after hearing that there was no danger, "Then you are still at the edge of the swamp?"

Mu Xi glanced around the surrounding environment, "The swamp should have been a small area of ​​water before. Later, it overflowed due to heavy rainfall. The area is not large. I walked around and walked away, and now I am planning to set up camp."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Yeqing didn't say any more, "Then you should quickly find the place where you live. I won't waste your time. You must pay attention to safety."

Mu Xi wiped the beads of sweat that rolled to his eyes. He didn't notice the corners of his mouth that had curled up since he heard the sound of the intercom. He tried his best to lighten his tone: "Well, I know, I'm very fine. Go back quickly."

After saying that, he stared at the walkie-talkie for a few minutes to make sure that there was no more sound coming from it, and then Mu Xi stood up from the ground.

Tonight, he chose the tree behind him as his camp site. This tree was so huge that it would take seven or eight people to hug him. He planned to sleep in the tree, which should be safer than under the tree.

This tree is more than ten meters tall, and only more than one-third of the main trunk has thick branches.

But it is still possible to climb up. The bark of this tree is relatively rough, and due to its age, it is not known whether it was eaten by insects or pecked by birds. There is a hole at a distance that can be used as a fulcrum.

For safety reasons, he also made a locket, threw it on the tree and caught a thick side branch above, and tied the other end to his waist before starting to climb up.

When it reaches the point where the trunk begins to branch halfway through the main trunk, there is a naturally formed groove in the middle, which is just right for you to lie in. It is surrounded by all sides and you don’t have to worry about accidentally rolling down.

After confirming that it was safe, Mu Xi untied the rope from his waist, found a more stable trunk on the tree, wrapped it several times and tied it, and then threw the other end of the rope under the tree, making it easier to go up and down the tree.

The dim sunlight filtered in from between the branches and leaves, and it was almost night.

Mu Xi held the rope and slid down, setting up a fire under the tree.

The vegetation under the trees has been cleared and the thick moss has been shoveled away.

Generally, moss on the ground does not need to be cleaned, and it does not hinder walking, but it greatly hinders making a fire.

It often rains in the rainforest climate, and the moss on the ground is full of water, like a sponge, and can squeeze out a lot of rainwater with just one step.

After Mu Xi had a simple meal, he fed a few dogs, added more firewood to the fire under the tree, and then climbed up the tree to sleep.

The rainforest at night was filled with the sounds of various bugs and frogs. Before going to bed, Mu Xi sprinkled insect-repelling snake powder on nearby tree trunks. He also sprinkled it on the bottom of the tree before going up. He held the gun to his chest. Close your eyes and fall asleep.

The dogs were lying next to the fire under the tree, and from time to time there was a crackling sound from the fire, which was the sound of wood being burned.

Every time this sudden sound rang out in the rainforest, it would startle the nearby insect frogs into silence for a few seconds.

-

Zhao Yeqing returned home, drove the duck back, simply cooked something and finished eating before going back to the room to lie down.

The weather is still 30 degrees at noon and around 25 to 26 degrees at night. The temperature is average throughout the year, neither hot nor cold.

Zhao Yeqing took out his laptop and played Spider Solitaire and Minesweeper for a while. It was a pity that he didn't play the game at the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be the only game he could play now.

It was fine during the day, but the feeling of loneliness came up at night. It was not like this when we lived alone before. Now that the two of us don't see each other every day, it will always be uncomfortable to be separated suddenly.

When you sleep with a quilt on your back, time flies by quickly, and you will be back in a few days anyway.

Every two days since then.

Zhao Yeqing would go outside the forest to talk to Mu Xi and make sure he was safe before resting. Until one morning a week later, the signal on the walkie-talkie began to become unstable.

Mu Xi's intermittent voice came, "We should be almost at the limit of distance. Don't worry, I'll be ready to go back soon."

The altitude of the tourist area is estimated to be about 3,000, but there are many obstacles that need to be avoided along the way, such as the swamp before, so you have to move sideways before going down.

But no matter how much I move, I can't reach the extreme distance so quickly.

"Did your walkie-talkie die?"

Mu Xi was stunned when he said this. Then he realized that the distance should not be the limit. When he saw that the walkie-talkie flashed a red light to indicate that the battery was low.

After hearing Mu Xi's reply, Zhao Yeqing jumped off the hood of the car and patted the ashes on his butt: "Come back first. You see, you have been in the wild for too long and your brain is going crazy. Come back and rest for a few days."

After the two of them finished talking, Zhao Yeqing got on his horse and went home.

Mu Xi also adjusted his direction and walked back, marking the route along the way.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the meadow, and Zhao Yeqing had already returned to the forest and was waiting to pick him up.

The three dogs at home ran out first. When they saw Zhao Yeqing, they pounced on her. She immediately took a big step back.

"Don't come here, you are all so dirty."

Mu Xi walked out, fearing that the smell of his body would stifle her, so he stopped at a distance from her.

During this time in the mountains, except for a little cleaning when I found a clean water source, I covered myself up and suffocated at other times. You can imagine the smell on your body.

Zhao Yeqing's eyes turned red when he saw Mu Xi like that.

He was unshaven and haggard. She walked quickly forward a few steps, and when she got closer, she saw that his eyes were red and bloodshot, and there were small cuts on his face that had been scabbed by blades of grass.

She froze on the spot, her previous determination to find a gas station suddenly gave way.
