There are savages in the jungle

In the morning, the ground was still wet and muddy.The sweet potato seedlings in the field are green and shiny, not sluggish at all, and they seem to be alive.

Xia Yun squatted on the edge of the field and looked at it for a while, feeling that the hair on the top of his head was a little hot from the sun, and the animal skin on his body was almost unbearable.

Now the weather is the most difficult to wear clothes. Wearing animal skins is hot to death, not wearing them and drying them in the sun, and going to the shade of a tree to blow the wind is very cold.Xia Yun carries a piece of clothing with him, and he has to put it on and take it off several times a day.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yan walking towards him, Xia Yun said: "I want to go into the forest, are you coming?" He hadn't been in the mountain for several months because of the ferret, and now the plants have grown up It's a good time to find ingredients.

Yan said, "Go."

"Let's go then."

When the little wild people heard that the mothers were leaving, they hurried over, "Mom."

Xia Yun said to the little savages seriously, "You are not allowed to cross that river, you can only play at the foot of this mountain, you know?"

Yuanyuan Gungun nodded one after another: "Yeah."

Yan walked over and touched each child's head affectionately, "Don't mess with mother's things, I will bring you sweet fruits."

The little wild people suddenly became happy, and nodded vigorously to promise that they would be good.

With a bow and arrow on his back, Xia Yun walked towards the woods first.Yan hurriedly chased after him.

The woods are covered with half-rotten leaves, and when you step on them, you will make a puffing sound. Although they are soft and rotten, they will not sink your feet. It is much easier to walk than the road down the mountain.Walking in the woods for a while, the soles of the shoes will be cleaned.

Xia Yun asked: "Let's go to the south today, is there a tribe over there?"

"There is a deep forest over there, there should be no one there, should we go there to find fresh food?"

"have a look."

Yan looked down at Xia Yun's feet wrapped in shoes, and thought of how soft the feet inside were, he couldn't help but say, "I'm carrying you, it's a little far away."

Xia Yun glanced at Yan, nodded: "Okay."

Said it was far away, it took Yan only half an hour to run there.

There are mostly broad-leaved trees here, covering the sky and the sun, making it extremely deserted.

Xia Yun asked Yan to put himself down, touched the animal skin on his body, it was all wet by the mist, and the fur collapsed and stuck to the skin as soon as he touched it.

Yan looked at the sky, and several intense light spots hit his face, making him squint his eyes, "The weather is fine, the air will be dry in a while."

"Yeah." Xia Yun used branches to explore the way, his eyes scanned the road, and he often saw fungus or white mushrooms growing on the damp rotten wood.

He picked off all the fungus, the white ones were hard to pretend, and he didn't know if they could be eaten, so he didn't move.

Yan followed behind Xia Yun, always paying attention to the surrounding environment, and suddenly stopped to look at a tree bearing red fruits.

Feeling that Yan didn't follow, Xia Yun looked back, "Hurry up."

Yan: "I'm looking to see if this fruit can be eaten."

Xia Yun walked up to Yan, opened his mouth suddenly, and strode towards the red fruit tree.

Yan suddenly pulled Xia Yun back, "Forget it, I feel poisonous."

Xia Yun looked at Yan in surprise, "How do you know?"

Yan said, "I don't know either. The color of the fruit seems wrong, but it doesn't look delicious either. Let's go."

Xia Yun smiled and smoked.He stretched out his hand and walked resolutely towards the big tree.

Originally, he was still not sure, but after hearing what Yan said, he felt more confident.

This tree is more than 40 meters high, with a diameter at breast height of about 40 cm. The bark is gray and slightly rough; when you look closely, the leaves are oval to obovate, with serrated edges, and the growing leaves are oblong, 7-19 cm long and wide. 3-6 cm, asymmetrical on both sides, interspersed with subred fruits.

Sure enough, it is poisonous arrow wood.That is to say, seeing blood seals the throat, which is highly poisonous.It's the same as the one in Grandpa's yard.

Xia Yun took out his backpack, took out his dagger and cut the bark of the tree. Soon, a stream of milky white juice flowed out from the tree trunk, like a line of tears.

"Are you going to cut it?" Yan said strangely: "It's too far away to move back."

"Chop, I just want the bark." Xia Yun frowned, looking at the white juice on the blade, his eyes were very cautious, "Can you chop trees? My knife is not convenient."

"Yes, I'm looking for a suitable stone."

"Then let's look for stones first." Xia Yun said.

Yan: "Aren't you looking for something to eat?"

"Cut the tree first." Xia Yun looked around, "Is there any stone mountain nearby? If not, we will go back and find the stone."

Yan: "There is a big river not far from here. There are sand and gravel there, and there should be stones as well."

Xia Yun nodded with satisfaction, "Very well, then let's go there now."

Without saying a word, Yan picked up Xia Yun on his back and ran towards the big lake.

Before he got out of the woods, Xia Yun heard the sound of rolling waves, and knew that the lake would never be small, but after seeing the lake, he was still surprised by its width.

Where is this river?It was like an ocean.The river is thousands of meters wide, and the opposite bank looks very small, it looks like a large island, but in fact there are small islands in the water.

Xia Yun couldn't help picking up a handful of water and tasting it. The water was fresh, so he believed it was a lake.

"Didn't it say there is sand and gravel?" Xia Yun stepped on the ground as solid as concrete, "Where is the sand?"

Yan smiled and pointed to an island in the lake, "Look over there, the land is covered with sand. I swam there before, and there are many birds."

Xia Yun followed Yan's finger and looked over. It was an island the size of three mountains, and the water between the island and the shore was turbulent.

The sunlight reflected on the water made Xia Yundi squint his eyes, "Can this swim across? It's quite far."

"Don't worry, I can swim there." Yan said, looking at the woods, and quickly ran over to pull a cane, "I'll take you there."

Xia Yun recalled the day when Yan Kang went back, Yan jumped into the river and swam over. He was as vigorous as a fish in the current, and he almost rushed over the river more than ten meters wide.Yan said that he could swim across the river, so he probably wasn't talking too much.

He knew that Yan was worried about staying on the other side alone, and he wanted to visit the island himself, so he agreed with Yan's decision.

Xia Yun took off all the clothes, shoes and watches, dumped all the things in the bag under the bushes and hid the bow and arrow in the branches of the bushes, and only carried an empty bag.

Each of them tied a cane around their waists, and they walked several thousand meters upstream before entering the water together.

It was already eleven o'clock, the sun was very strong, and the water in the creek would be warm at this time, but the temperature of the river water was as cold as an ice well. Only the surface of the water was warmed by the sun, and the water under the palm of your hand was cold. It makes people's skin tight, which shows that the river is extremely deep.

Yan traveled very fast, almost dragging Xia Yun forward.As they swam forward, they were rushed downstream by the water. In order not to be rushed past their destination, Yan did not dare to rest, and managed to swim with Xia Yun to the shore of the island.

Swimming through the rapids hundreds of meters wide, even though Yan was young and strong, he was so tired that he lay down like a dog.

On a hot day, Xia Yun shivered from the cold, but felt comfortable under the bright sun.Rubbing his arms, his hands were covered with sand, only then did he realize that the island was indeed full of sand, just like a beach.

Tall, thin plantain trees, perhaps banana trees, grew on the edge of the island, casting graceful shadows on the sand.

Xia Yun propped his elbows on the sand and looked at the opposite bank, feeling like he was on vacation by the sea.

After taking a breath, Xia Yun pushed the rock, "Are you okay?"

Yan got up and said: "There are no big beasts on this island. You wait for me here, and I will go find the stone."

Xia Yun was too tired to move, so he nodded in agreement.

After Yan left, Xia Yun lay on the bank for a while, then got up to look at the surrounding plants.

There are many fresh plants on the island. Xia Yun walked a little far without knowing it. Just when he wanted to go back, he suddenly saw a rubber tree.

He is not familiar with the rubber tree, but the rubber that flows out of the trunk wound is not mistaken.

Xia Yun was overjoyed, this tour was worthwhile.

"Xia Yun!"

"Ah!" The sudden voice behind him startled Xia Yun and turned around quickly.

"Why did you come here? I've been looking for you everywhere." Yan came running quickly, with a look of panic remaining on his face, and he dispersed completely after speaking.

Xia Yun was pleased by Yan's nervousness, and said with a smile: "On this island, are you still afraid that I might escape?"

Panting for breath, Yan suddenly embraced Xia Yun's neck and kissed him fiercely.Xia Yun did not refuse.

After the kiss, Yan put his forehead against Xia Yun's, stared at him and said, "Next time you leave, make a mark and point out the direction you are going, otherwise I will be very disturbed."

"Okay." Xia Yun replied with a smile.

Rock forged a stone ax and secured it with a tree trunk.The two returned to the shore, Yan tied the stone ax to his back, and the two swam back to the river bank in the same way.

Back to the Poison Arrow Wood, Xia Yun struggled for a while, and turned his back.The trousers were put on the rock head.

"..." Yan: "Why?"

"Cough, cut down the tree." Xia Yun straightened Yan's head.pants, probably lowered his voice and said: "You don't dislike me, do you?"

Yan immediately said: "How come, it has your smell on it, I like it very much."

Xia Yun's face turned red, and he suddenly wanted to turn his head away, and then he felt at ease when he realized that Yan couldn't see him.

Xia Yun mainly blindfolded Yan, and then asked him to blindly chop at the poisonous arrow wood.

Every time the ax goes down, bits and pieces of white liquid will be splashed.Xia Yun stood far away, guiding Yan in the direction.

The sap of poisonous arrow wood is highly poisonous, and a little bit of it can be fatal if it touches a wound, so it is also called blood seal throat.In addition, the venom can cause blindness when splashed in the eyes.

Fortunately, the poisonous arrow wood is not thick, and it didn't take long to bring down the tree.

Yan finally took off the cloth with a faint smell on his head, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, with a rather enjoyable expression on his face.

Xia Yun rolled his eyes, snatched back his pants, and put them on with a grin.

Not obscene.petty?You don't dislike me, I still dislike your saliva.

Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, "What do you want this bark for?"

Until now, he is still at a loss. He knows that Xia Yun must have his reasons for doing things, but he can't figure out what the bark can do.It's poisonous and you can't eat it. Could it be used to harm others?
