Back to the Wilderness

At sunset, the cold air of early spring surged up, but the volcano safe zone has always been warm, and today, it is even more warm.

The laughter continued, and it was in harmony with the singing of the distant hills full of rewards.

"They're back." Xie Cheng, who was talking with everyone, tilted his head and smiled.

Several slender and tall figures appeared in the crater, standing in a row, and the setting sun pulled their shadows all the way to the foot of the volcano.

The group of people returning from the direction of the hills suddenly looked at these extraordinary figures, which were obviously different from the delicate girls they left in the safe zone.

"What the hell is that row?"

Their first reaction was that outsiders were provoking them!Looking at the figure is not easy to provoke, after a few steps faster, the shadow gradually became clear, and everyone felt a vague sense of familiarity.

He Zhongqing smiled openly: "Brother Fuyun and the others are back!"

Her tender face was exposed to the wind and sun, and her complexion became no longer fair and snowy, and there were still a few shallow marks cut by branches on her cheeks, but when she smiled, it was like a sunflower blooming, very bright.

Everyone hurriedly widened their eyes, wishing to see all the pores on the faces of those people at a glance.

"Ah, it's Boss Xie!" Xu Huihui threw a wild sheep carried by herself, He Zhongqing, and Zhao Lan to Old Wang next to her, and the three of them ran to the volcano immediately.

"Oh, don't take such a bully to the elderly!" Old Wang cried out to no avail, and then turned his eyes and threw it to Zhao Xun, imitating them and running away, muttering at the shadow that seemed to be standing on the cloud while running , "What a show, the row is like filming a movie, let me count, one, two, three... seven, fortunately, there is not one missing."

The number of people can be clearly seen at a glance, and Lao Wang has to confirm it several times before he can rest assured.

Zhao Xun smiled wryly, looked to both sides, there were no people there, so he had to throw the wild sheep over his shoulders, one on the left shoulder, one on the right shoulder, took a deep breath, and ran!

"Xie-boss-big!" The crowd waved their hands desperately with gusts of chilly wind.They are eager to see those few people they haven't seen for more than a month. Apart from missing them, they also want them to see their progress.It's like getting good grades in school and can't wait to let the hard-working family members know.

On the top of the volcano, Gao Yiyang quickly waved his hand in response, "Hello, comrades!"

At night, the sky is full of stars, and the bonfire is burning warmly.

After hearing Xie Cheng's last words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes were a little blurred, as if they were still immersed in the strange tropical rainforest they were talking about, and they seemed to have really seen all kinds of ordinary people struggling to survive.

He Zhongqing held Ji Fuyun's hand, pursed her lips and smiled.Her brother Fuyun was poisoned, but luckily what she saw was a healthy Ji Fuyun.

Ji Fuyun knew what she was thinking and couldn't help rubbing her head.

Gao Yiyang hadn't seen Xu Huihui for a long time, and as soon as he came back, he pestered her and couldn't leave without scolding.

"Why are you so thick-skinned?"

Gao Yiyang laughed grinningly: "I can't catch up with girls!"

"How thick is it?"

"So thick!"

"I don't believe it." Xu Huihui looked at him and gestured, "I want to take a bite and see."

"Okay, you can bite...what do you mean?" By the time Gao Yiyang realized it, Xu Huihui had already left his cheek like a dragonfly.

Xu Huihui pouted, "It's not soft at all, it's really thick."

Gao Yiyang covered his face in a daze, and the blush exploded all over his face.

Fortunately the flames were too bright for anyone to see clearly.Otherwise, Old Wang would have to laugh at it, how could he be so thick-skinned?

"Where's Xu Caicai?" Xie Cheng asked suddenly, a circle of people surrounded here, but he didn't see this person from day to night.

The happy and lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and Ding Yun, Xu Caicai's only relative, said, "She committed suicide."

suicide?

Ji Fuyun Gao Yiyang and the others looked at each other. There were many suicides in the wild world, but they couldn't connect this incident with the timid Xu Caicai.

"She didn't know whether to give birth to a child, and she was also afraid that something might happen to the child, and she would eventually die, so she simply chose to commit suicide."

What is the logic?Do you feel that you cannot escape death, and you are afraid of the unknown future, so you commit suicide early?Doesn't that mean that all people are born to die?

So a person who is afraid of death, but goes to death by himself, is life more terrifying than death?

But thinking about it carefully, although Xu Caicai's suicide was unexpected, it was reasonable.

Suicide is an attitude that despises oneself.

Xu Caicai has never recognized herself. She feels that others think that she is inferior to her cousin Ding Yun, He Zhongqing who is loved by thousands of people, optimistic Xu Huihui, and anyone here.While others despise her, she also despises herself.The contempt of others is just a joke for a while, and may be forgotten in a blink of an eye, but her own contempt for herself has entangled her short life like a maggot attached to the bone, and finally pushed her to death.

She has always wanted to find a sustenance that can protect herself, from Xie Cheng to Guo Kehao, but until the end, she didn't understand that the most reliable sustenance is actually and only herself.

Although they had a bad impression of Xu Caicai, they couldn't help but sigh when they learned that her death was still in such a tragic way.Especially compared with the scene of Pei Zihao struggling to survive in the rainforest, I can only feel that the same life is lived in countless ways by different people.

After a moment of silence, Xie Cheng became active: "Tomorrow, we will start going back."

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Xie Cheng.

"The ghost vine has been found." Xie Cheng patted the barrel and made a dull sound, "Let's reach the beach first, make a simple boat, and when we get to the island with ebony, we will work together to build a boat that can take us through the wind and waves." big ship!"

Everyone couldn't help but clenched their fists, their eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.

Xie Cheng smiled, "It's late, go back to sleep, keep your spirits up, pack up everything tomorrow, and we'll set off the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison, the volume was so loud that the flames trembled a few times.But after all, there were a few people who were able to sleep. They were all in their own rooms staring at the ceiling in a daze. After suddenly realizing that the person next to them was not asleep, they simply asked in a low voice.

After asking this question, it turned out that the whole room was awake, and everyone seemed to be beaten up, and they couldn't stop talking, from the difficulties encountered in the shipbuilding meeting to the things after returning home, Even the place where everyone will gather together after returning to reality has been discussed.

"Well, Zhong Qing, I brought you a gift." Xie Cheng called He Zhongqing who was about to leave, and took out a dried flower petal shaped like a crescent moon.

He Zhongqing accepted it in surprise, her eyes twinkled, "Thank you Brother Xie Cheng!"

After a moment of surprise, Ji Fuyun seemed to understand something, and smiled teasingly at Xie Cheng.

Xie Cheng looked up at the starry sky, and felt like a spring breeze was passing by in his heart, and the grass was growing and the warbler was flying.

……

It is rolling hills, and a group of 80 people got out.

"I didn't expect to come out so soon." Some people sighed, compared with the trembling when they came here, and even being chased by wild beasts with nowhere to go, this time it can be said to be crushed all the way.

When encountering a less threatening herd, all members go into battle and fight directly.Xie Chengye was known to be on the sidelines, but there were no major casualties.If you encounter a large herd, wave your hand and throw the bomb directly.

Zhao Xun didn't just hunt in the volcano all day long. He found a lot of sulfur and saltpeter inside the volcano area. Mixing them in proportion can make a powerful explosive, which is almost invincible in the wild world.

It's really not possible, there is still the dreaded haunting vine juice, anyway, Xie Cheng and the others have obtained enough, in addition to the reserved ones for building experimental ships and official ships, it is enough for them to deal with several large-scale crises.

The journey went smoothly, and strong self-confidence was gradually built in their hearts.The indomitable momentum and the faint smell of blood seem to be condensed into substance. All animals have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Smelling this aura from a distance, beasts that are not strong enough dare not approach this group of people.

When passing through the safe zone where they lived for the first time, Xie Cheng and the others made a special trip to the Liuyan Karst Cave.

Dozens of people worked together to kill many Kerr crocodiles, and stayed in the cave for four or five days with peace of mind, cleaning up almost all the flowing rocks in the cave before giving up.

Flowing rock fine sand was difficult to carry, so Xie Cheng simply smelted them into weapons, one for each person, and re-smelted them again if needed when building the ship.

The people who had weapons were even more energetic.Back then, they were oppressed by the wilderness like bereaved dogs and had to move to an unknown place. Now they have taken the escape route again, still with a proud attitude, as if they have conquered the world.

In fact, the world is far from being conquered by them, what they conquered was their cowardly hearts.

No.13 days after leaving the volcano, they arrived at the seaside.

The salty sea breeze blew away the dry and hot breath on his body.

The most important thing at present is to build a ship that can take them to the isolated island in the sea, and then use magical ebony to build another ship to leave this terrible place.

They are so close to the light.

Xie Cheng, Ye Feisheng, Huangfu Yixiu and the two carpenters in the team began to discuss the specific structure of the boat.This issue has been discussed as soon as they set off. After so many days, the ship has a preliminary model, but it still needs to be improved as much as possible until it is so perfect that even they themselves will have extremely strong confidence. With this ship, they can also leave the endless sea!

The two carpenters are ordinary people. They were startled and incoherent at first when they heard the exquisite ideas of Ye Feisheng and the others. Now they are used to their unusualness, and even inspired by them, they can come up with several constructive ideas. It is suggested that, after all, they are full-time carpenters, and once their horizons are opened, a wonderful new world will not be far away.

Ji Fuyun lay leisurely on the beach, basking in the warm sunshine.Many people are like him, lying in a row like salted fish.

Suddenly something fell on him.

Ji Fuyun's eyes slightly opened a gap, facing the sun, the person standing in front of him seemed a little blurry, Ji Fuyun still knew that he was Xie Cheng, he groped for something on his body, "What is it?"

Xie Cheng smiled and said nothing.

Ji Fuyun straightened his upper body, and it was a rhombus folded from a fresh leaf. He opened it and saw that a mouthful of golden transparent liquid was wrapped in the leaf. It was thick but pure, like a piece of melted amber, and exuded a faint sweet smell. .

"Honey?"

Xie Cheng sat down: "Well, I found it in the woods behind. After the bees were smoked away, I got some and used it for barbecue tonight."

Ji Fuyun raised the honey in his hand, "So you took a sip under the guise of Gongji?"

"Yeah." Xie Cheng admitted without hesitation.

Ji Fuyun smiled, looked around like a thief, and stuffed honey into his mouth when no one was paying attention, "Not bad, very sweet."

"Really? I haven't tasted it." Xie Cheng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly tilted his head and approached Ji Fuyun's lips.

"It's really sweet."

Not far away, two carpenters are building a ship. From the rough skeleton, we can already see its majestic majesty after it takes shape.

Everything seems to be fine.
