新石器时代

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Huaifeng, Gu Xiaolu and the film emperor went to the mayor to bid farewell, saying that they would go out for a while—because Ji Huaifeng had just obtained the status of an official resident of Longhu Town; According to regulations, people in the town who go out for more than three days can first apply for exemption from the protection tax during this period.

This is what Gu Xiaolu has always insisted on.Although he agreed to go with Ji Huaifeng and Yingdi under the verbal offensive of them, he insisted on retaining their status as residents of Longhu Town.He said that if the place they went to was not good, they could come back again.Ji Huaifeng and the actor had planned to go out this time for a long time. They didn't like Longhu Town, and they never thought of coming back at all, so they scoffed at Gu Xiaolu's plan to leave a way out.

In short, when the sun lazily climbed to the height of three poles, they left Longhu Town with arrogance.

Everyone carried a rattan basket on their backs.In Gu Xiaolu's basket were his half pot, iron bowl, several pieces of animal skins and several catties of dried meat; Those miscellaneous belongings and all the leftover dried meat, still kept the stone knife in his hand.Gu Xiaolu also put on the old pair of shoes that Ji Huaifeng brought back yesterday.The journey is always quite pleasant at the beginning.The three of them are full of energy and high spirits, as if they can reach their destination with just a few casual steps.

Although the expressions look similar, the thoughts in their hearts are different.

Gu Xiaolu: Is that place really that good?I don't know how many days it will take to walk, Bodhisattva blesses, don't let it rain on the road

Ji Huaifeng: Damn it finally coaxed Xiao Lu to leave together, it would be better if the actor didn't come

Film Emperor: I finally got out of this ghostly place, Sun, I love you!

Overall, the atmosphere is quite harmonious and friendly.

Since Ji Huaifeng said yesterday that he has another sweetheart, Gu Xiaolu has never mentioned that Ji Huaifeng and the actor are a couple, and instead turned his guns on Ji Huaifeng: "Tell me, what do you like?" What kind of person is it? How can we help you if you don’t tell me? Anyway, we don’t know each other, so if you say it, you will die?”

With the actor in front of him, no matter how thick Ji Huaifeng's skin is, he can't tell it.Facing Gu Xiaolu's indiscriminate bombardment, he could only pretend to be an ostrich to deal with it - without saying a word.After enduring the verbal bombardment for most of the day, the actor cast a sympathetic look at Ji Huaifeng.

"Xiao Lu," the movie king said earnestly, "It's better not to talk when we are walking. You see the road is so desolate, maybe there are some prey wandering around, but they are scared away when they hear our voices."

This road is a road that passed by the edge of Longhu Town in the past.No car has been on this road for a long time.Over the past few years, the rain has continued to wash away, not only making the road surface full of holes, but also washing the dust into the middle of the road.Vigorous weeds grew out from the middle of the road, covering almost the entire road.They walked on the road and could only rely on the concrete floor that could still be barely recognized to find their way.

Gu Xiaolu felt that the film emperor was right.In such a desolate place, of course, there will be all kinds of animals wandering around.But he didn't think they needed to be too careful.

"Don't we still have dried meat? What are we doing hunting?"

Best actor: "But the road is quite long, and the jerky may not be enough."

"But you said we were only a few days away. Are you lying to me again?"

The film emperor remained silent.

Gu Xiaolu exploded: "I knew it! You all fucking lied to me! You! You are in collusion with him, and you have the nerve to say that you didn't get together! You are lying to me when you say you have a sweetheart or something right?"

Ji Huaifeng: "No!"

Gu Xiaolu put one hand on his waist and pointed at his nose: "But you never dare to look me in the eyes when you mention that person!"

Ji Huaifeng sadly: Because that person is you

Ji Huaifeng and the actor looked up to the sky and sighed.

Gu Xiaolu was filled with grief and indignation. "Why are you lying to me so hard? Do you have meat to eat? Huh, I won't go with you. I want to go back! I want to go back to Longhu Town and spend the rest of my life!"

Ji Huaifeng was about to speak, but the actor stopped him, and said to Gu Xiaolu: "The road is just behind, you just keep walking in the direction we came from. Don't see us off."

Gu Xiaolu: ""

After a while, Gu Xiaolu shook his arms and walked forward.

"I haven't traveled in a long time. This time I just happened to walk around."

Ji Huaifeng quietly held out his thumb to the actor.The actor waved his hand, showing humility.

On the next road, Gu Xiaolu finally closed his mouth.Ji Huaifeng and the movie king cheered up and listened carefully to the movements around them.According to the route they planned, the dried meat they carried would definitely not be able to support that destination.They must keep an eye on the animals around them at any time on the road and get food on the spot.When they came to the corner of a col, they suddenly heard a muffled hum that seemed to be made by a human being.

Ji Huaifeng and the film emperor glanced at each other, and they grabbed Gu Xiaolu and fled to the bushes by the roadside.

Gu Xiaolu also heard the sound just now.He was not afraid at all, and leaned into Ji Huaifeng's ear and whispered: "I heard that there are often people lying in ambush outside here to rob people who have just been traded from the town. I didn't expect it to be true."

Ji Huaifeng's eyes are slowly turning cold.

"I know. I met it when I came here."

But at that time he still had a gun, and he still had bullets in his gun.He just pulled out his gun and scared the bad guy away.Gu Xiaolu once said that using an empty gun can also scare people, I don’t know if this trick is really effective

Ji Huaifeng took out a bunch of parts from his body in front of the other two, and assembled them into a pistol within a minute.

"I should have said it earlier." Gu Xiaolu patted him on the shoulder, "Even if there are no bullets, it's okay to use them to scare people."

Ji Huaifeng put his finger on his lips and hissed, and put the gun in his waist.

The three squatted there for another 10 minutes, but there was no sound from that direction.Gu Xiaolu's conclusion was that they had heard wrongly, there was no movement just now.Ji Huaifeng discussed with the actor for a while, and decided to continue on his way.Just when they were just taking a step, they heard something running in the grass not far away, and the speed was not so fast.

Ji Huaifeng and the film emperor looked at each other, and Gu Xiaolu's face turned pale with fright.

When it was dark, they finally found a place where they could spend the night sheltered from the wind.

The road was brought by Ji Huaifeng.Ji Huaifeng said that he had rested there for one night on the way here.Gu Xiaolu went up first, glanced up and down, and was quite satisfied: "It's better than sleeping on a tree."

It was a small cave—it was said to be a cave, but to be precise, it should be a shallow pit recessed from the mountain wall.The ground is a gentle rock, and the stone wall above the head is inclined to insert into it.The three of them sat under the stone wall, just in time to shelter from the wind and rain.Because it was getting dark, the first thing they did was pick dry grass and sticks and light a fire.Then another layer of hay was spread on the ground, and on top of the hay were the pieces of fur that Gu Xiaolu carried on his back, which was the bed for sleeping at night.After everything was ready, Ji Huaifeng discussed with the film king, and they took turns to watch the night.

Gu Xiaolu protested genuinely and falsely: "Why did you exclude me?"

Ji Huaifeng: "Because you will definitely fall asleep during the night watch. For the sake of safety, it's better for us to do it ourselves."

Gu Xiaolu: ""

The strange things coming out of the grass during the day almost frightened Gu Xiaolu out of courage, and the other two were also shocked enough.Their only thought was to walk quickly, and the plan to hunt along the road was cancelled.

So now they all can only eat barbecue jerky.

Cut into strips of marinated jerky, although it is fragrant, it is also very dry and hard.To put it bluntly, it is chewy, but in fact it is very difficult to chew.Their water was carried with them in bamboo tubes, and now they leaned against the fire to warm it up.They took a bite of meat and drank a mouthful of water, and soon they couldn't bite anymore.During the day, Gu Xiaolu also said that eating jerky along the way would be enough.After eating this meal, he changed his mind: "Actually, we should buy some fresh meat. Also, we can pick some wild vegetables that are tender."

The remaining two remained silent.The crackling of the fire, the howling of the wind in the endless darkness outside.

Gu Xiaolu was a little strange: "Hey, what's the matter with you, why don't you talk anymore? Didn't the film king say he wants to hunt along the road today?"

Ji Huaifeng said with a cold face, "Little Lu, the jerky is enough for us to eat these days, let's go on our way first. You heard the movement on the road today, who knows if there are people around us staring at us Woolen cloth?"

Gu Xiaolu thought about it for a while, and suddenly a layer of goose bumps appeared on his body.

He hugged the military coat and shrank to the inside: "Okay. Go to bed early, I'm exhausted"

The actor walked over and covered him with his coat: "Cover it tightly, it's windy at night."

Gu Xiaolu turned over, put the hat on his coat over his head, and completely disappeared.The actor sighed, and sat back by the fire.Ji Huaifeng said: "Go to sleep too, get up and replace me when it's time." The actor shook his head, "I haven't eaten enough yet, how can I sleep if I am not full?" Ji Huaifeng smiled: "I thought I was the only one who didn't eat eat enough."

The two continued to grill the meat in harmony.

Ji Huaifeng suddenly said: "I said, your hand"

The film king showed a shallow scar on the back of his hand: "Oh, it was made during filming." Ji Huaifeng shook his head: "It's not this, I mean, I found your hands are very similar to Xiaolu's."

Gu Xiaolu immediately lifted up his military overcoat and jumped up to see what happened.

"Really? Why didn't I find out—"

The actor quickly retracted his hands into his sleeves.But there was no place to hide the hand holding the barbecue, so Gu Xiaolu caught it straight.

Gu Xiaolu tore off the barbecue in his hand and threw it to Ji Huaifeng: "Grill it for him, I'll take a look." As he spoke, he forcibly pulled the actor's hand and put it with his own, and looked at it carefully. up.

The actor pulled back embarrassingly: "Who doesn't have five fingers and five nails, where can it look like?"

Ji Huaifeng said casually, "I think they look alike. By the way, your eyes look alike too. But your faces don't look alike at all—are you relatives?"

The actor shook his head: "I really hadn't seen him before I came to town."

Gu Xiaolu scratched his head: "Don't talk about relatives, I don't even remember who my father is."

The film king gave Ji Huaifeng a hard look.Ji Huaifeng pretended not to see it, and went to another place when he saw it.

As soon as the next day dawned, they got up and turned off the ignition, counted their things and prepared to continue on their way.Gu Xiaolu counted the dried meat in the basket one by one, and suddenly said, "You guys eat a lot."

Ji Huaifeng put the fur on the ground into the basket: "Huh? We didn't eat much?"

Gu Xiaolu pointed it out to him: "Look, I counted them last night when I went to bed, and I still have 53 in total, and now I only have 46 left."

Ji Huaifeng and the actor looked at each other.

Ji Huaifeng said: "I remember later that we only ate one piece each. Why are there so many less?"

The actor's expression also changed.Gu Xiaolu immediately asked: "Do you think there is—"

The actor took the lead and covered his mouth: "Shhh—" He then raised his voice an octave: "It's okay, I ate it all. If you think I eat too much, I'll eat less tonight. "Ji Huaifeng then said: "Damn it's you, I punish you to bring back more prey today!"

Gu Xiaolu still didn't understand the situation: "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Huaifeng lowered his face: "Shh - don't startle the snake."

Gu Xiaolu finally understood.

"Are you planning to lure that thing into the bait?"

Ji Huaifeng shrugged: "Let's go. Don't be afraid."

They walked a little slower that day.When they saw a large piece of gotu kola, they even stopped, and the three of them dug a large handful together.

The road ahead will be slower.Because the gotu kola has a lot of leaves, the branches they tore down randomly include young leaves and old leaves, Gu Xiaolu picked the old leaves while walking.They dawdled until dark, but they couldn't find a decent place to sleep.In the end, it was the film king who made the decision and made dinner under a big tree by lighting a fire.

Because of the wild vegetables, they took out the half of the pot, specially selected fatter dried meat and cut it into pieces, and put them into the pot to cook together with the gotu kola.Gu Xiaolu stirred the vegetables in the pot with bamboo slices, and sighed: "This food tastes good, but it's a pity that it doesn't last long, otherwise we can pick more."

As soon as Ji Huaifeng and the film king smelled the smell, they knew that it was actually very bitter, so they turned their heads silently.

As usual, only Gu Xiaolu ate happily during this meal.After dinner, Ji Huaifeng and the film king didn't talk about the night watch again, and they both fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a dark figure quietly appeared, slowly approaching the almost extinguished fire.
