reincarnation train

As soon as the ten-day deadline came, the window of the train returned to a vast expanse of whiteness again, carrying the remaining passengers onward.

"Welcome all passengers to come back. The 12th stop of Buddha Ancient Village is over. There are a total of 1145 return passengers. After 3 days, the train will arrive at the 11th stop. Passengers, please be prepared. Thank you for your cooperation."

"There are much fewer people who didn't get on the bus this time than last time."

At that time, Shi Shangzuo was sitting on the sofa in Wu Xiajiu's room, watching him lie on the bed, stuffing a piece of candy into his mouth, and at the same time pulling out the candy from under the pillow, and putting it in the dark and small next to the turtle.

"En." Wu Xiajiu nodded, watching the countless candies surrounded the little turtle.

"You said it's so small, what does it eat?" Wu Xiajiu nodded its protruding little head.

"You can't eat candy." Shi Shangzuo shook his head helplessly, picked up the little turtle that was stuck in the candy, put it on the plush carpet, and lay down on it instead.

Wu Xiajiu frowned, put sugar on one side of his cheek, stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Get down, don't lie on my bed."

Shi Shangzuo let him push, but didn't move. Instead, he turned around and faced Wu Xiajiu, propped his head on one arm and said, "Jiujiu, I'll sleep here tonight."

Wu Xiajiu twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at the thick-skinned man, "...Who gave you the courage?"

Facts have proved that the courage is given by himself, and Shi Shangzuo said that he doesn't want this face.

Unable to push the man away, Wu Xiajiu thought to himself that I shouldn't let him in...

"What are you thinking about?" Shi Shangzuo suppressed the hands and feet of the man in his arms, watching him quietly not moving.

Wu Xiajiu was still a little out of breath. Breaking free from this man was more difficult than getting out of the car to look for a ticket. Now his legs were tightly locked by the man's long legs, and his arms and waist were also hugged. In the arms of a man.

Wu Xia said for a long time, "I was thinking...you have a thick skin."

Shi Shangzuo let out a muffled laugh and said, "Thank you for the compliment, you are the first person to praise me like that."

"..."

The room fell silent for a moment, and Wu Xiajiu could feel his breathing sounding beside his ears, brushing against his neck.

"You must sleep here?" Wu Xiajiu said helplessly.

"I really want to." However, if you insist on disagreeing for a long time, then forget it.

Wu Xiajiu's arm was hugged, but his hand was still free to move. He poked Shi Shangzuo's wrist with his finger, "Relax."

Shi Shang Zuo loosened, and saw that the person in his arms turned around, from facing away from him to facing him, the two of them were very close, their breaths were intertwined with each other.

"Jiujiu." Shi Shangzuo's throat moved, wanting to get closer, preferably with no gaps.

However, Wu Xiajiu poked his forehead with one finger and pushed him away, "You can do it anyway, I'm going to sleep anyway, so don't disturb me." After finishing speaking, he turned around again.

Shi Shang Zuo looked at his awkward back and glowing red ears, smiled silently, and said softly, "Okay, you go to sleep."

I thought I couldn't sleep well, but after Shi Shangzuo said that, Wu Xiajiu yawned softly, drowsiness welled up, and fell asleep on the bed in a daze, half dreaming and half awake, He felt the person behind him move slightly, sticking to his back and covering him with the quilt.

Three days passed in a flash, the window was covered with twilight, and it was eight o'clock on time.

"Hello, passengers and friends. The train will arrive at the 11th station tomorrow. Passengers are requested to arrive at the train hall on time at 45:11 a.m. and get off in line. The 15th station is the Tianxuan Grand Canyon station, and the train will stop here [-] days, all passengers please get on the bus as soon as possible within the limited time, and finally, I wish you all a good time.”

"15 days? The time has been extended again." Wu Xiajiu took a pen and paper to record, pointing to the desktop and said.

"Let's go, let's go to the department store to pack some things." Shi Shangzuo sat aside and said.

The Grand Canyon, this time I heard that it is in the wild, so I need to prepare well.

The next day, everyone gathered in the train hall, and almost everyone was carrying a big bag. Tang Yunsi and others walked over, looked at the unchanging place of getting off the train, and said softly, "I don't know if we will meet this time." What."

-------------------------

The place where the train stopped this time was in a jungle, with soft grass under their feet. Everyone looked around, but their eyes were blocked by tall trees, and they didn't see the grand canyon hanging from the sky in the train broadcast.

"What the hell is this place?" Someone kicked the grass angrily, but was taken aback by the colorful insects that suddenly jumped out. Fortunately, this seemingly weird little insect didn't care about him, and kicked his legs They jumped away.

"Tighten your cuffs and necklines, and tuck your trousers into your shoes." Shi Shangzuo pulled out a dagger and said.

Wu Xiajiu waited for others to hear the words, bowed his head and organized his clothes, because they knew that this time the car was in the wild, so the clothes they chose were jackets and boots that were easy to move around. Not far away, Zhu Lanmeng and Xiao Yao told them Nodding his head, the clothes on his body were similar. Seeing their tidying up actions, he also moved thoughtfully.

After sorting out, the few people headed towards the jungle. The trees here were tall, and some of them looked strange. They couldn't recognize what kind of trees they were, but each tree was entwined with vines, some entangled with each other, and some fell vertically. Beside or above your head, you have to pay attention to avoiding it when you take a step.

Because some vines not only have brightly colored flowers, but also have sharp thorns, and the back of the hand or cheek will be scratched by the sharp thorns if you are not careful.

Shi Shangzuo grabbed a vine and cut it open with a dagger, instantly green juice burst out and flowed down.

"What?" Wu Xiajiu looked at him suspiciously.

"15 days is too long. The water we brought may not be enough to drink. Dangerous creatures here are just one of them. But we lack water, so it is difficult for us to survive." Shi Shang said on the left, throwing the broken tree vines on the ground , "But in fact, the most indispensable thing in the jungle is water, rainwater, pools, etc. Remember, here, you would rather drink muddy muddy water than clear river water."

"So, are the roots of some plants the best way to quench your thirst?" Wu Xiajiu asked, looking down at the vines still dripping with green juice.

"That's right." Shi Shang moved his feet left, watching the black and tiny bugs crawling towards the vines, and slowly licking them.

After watching for a while, there is no problem, the little bug is still alive and kicking, the spikes outside the vine are like a protective coat, and only when it withers can you taste the beauty inside.

"This tree vine seems to be able to satisfy your stomach and quench your thirst. Fortunately, we brought a dagger." Tang Yunsi smiled and raised his hand. If there is no tool, it would be troublesome just to get the tough tree vine open.

After observing the trees and vines, everyone moved towards the jungle again. The more they went in, the more animals they saw. Among them, insects accounted for the majority, but most of them were not dangerous. When everyone arrived, these animals in different shapes , the small bugs with different sizes ran away first.

But there are not only bugs in the jungle, but also snakes. When everyone stopped to rest, there was a scream not far away. It turned out that when someone was docked on the tree, a green snake swam down from the tree. He was attacked by a sneak attack. The man's shoulders near the neck were bitten by the snake, and he rolled on the ground screaming and screaming. Finally, the snake's body was pinned to the ground by another person. Although the mouth of the snake was loosened, the man's neck There was also a blood hole that seeped out from the bite below.

"This snake is poisonous!" After checking the situation of the person bitten by the snake, someone shook his head and sighed, "If there is no corresponding medicine..."

The people around were a little silent. Of course, there was no corresponding medicine here, so the fate of this man can be imagined. His face was gray and blue, and the place where he was bitten by the snake was still bleeding continuously. Make a fuzzy and desperate hiss...

Gradually, his consciousness became blurred, and his eyes were covered with gray color. Not long after, he slowly let go of the hand covering his neck, and his body began to become stiff...

Fang Zi murmured, "It's still the first day when I got off the bus, someone died..."

And they haven't even seen the sky-hanging Grand Canyon yet.

"Maybe, more than one person will die next..." Lu Nan said with difficulty, lightly touching Fang Zi's arm, "Look at the tree..."

Fang Zi raised his head in response, his throat seemed to be stuck by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

At some point, snakes of various colors began to emerge one after another from the trees surrounding them, most of them were green, but there were also black ones, patterned ones, or even bright fiery red ones. , especially noticeable between the leaves.

They perched on the tree trunks, staring at the humans below with pairs of cold and cold-blooded vertical pupils.

Tang Yunsi swallowed his saliva and said, "I think it's better to face the huge snake in Loulan ancient country. There are so many dense snakes, it's really disgusting to look at."

The leaves were still rustling, as if many snakes were coming out of them. The passengers below were stiff, with cold sweat pouring out of their heads, confronting the snakes on the tree.

Shi Shangzuo said softly, "I'll count to three in a while, follow me, understand?"

Several people nodded, and when the atmosphere became more and more tense, as if they had received some signal, when Shi Shangzuo shouted, the group of snakes on the tree also fell like a series of rain.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Fang Zi was so frightened that he yelled, and at the same time he swung the dagger wildly on his head, and he didn't forget to pull Professor Zhou forward with one hand.

The line of sight was blocked for a moment, and everyone ran forward desperately, hearing the continuous sound in the grass behind them, even though unfortunately a snake was hanging on their body, they did not dare to stop, they could only tremble while running with the body.

"Ah---------help!!!"

Someone stumbled and fell to the ground, and was instantly entangled by the snakes swimming behind him. Starting from the ankles, it gradually covered the body, and finally the mouth, nose, and eyes were entangled one by one. wrapped into a giant sphere.

All the people who saw this scene were pale, but because of this, they had more time to escape. They ran forward regardless, even if the thorns on the vines hung on their clothes or skin. And, it seems that the vision from the dense jungle gradually widens in front of my eyes. In addition to the hissing of snakes, the sound of wind blowing in the valley and the continuous sound of running water began to appear in my ears.

In the distance, there seemed to be a huge towering mountain wall. As the people quickly approached, it began to become clear. They also saw the road ahead. This jungle was indeed on a mountain. A huge semicircular broken wall, and opposite the broken wall, separated by a spacious river, is the towering mountain wall.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little desperate. If they run forward, are they going to jump off the broken wall?But there are still snakes chasing after him...

"Ah!" At this moment, someone ran in a hurry, didn't stop, and fell short from a broken wall, but fortunately, there were strange rocks underneath, one piece at a time. It formed a gentle slope, and although the arm fell when it fell, the person was not seriously injured.

The man was about to continue running away with his arms covered, but when he looked up, the snakes chasing behind him seemed to be scruples, hovering above and did not come down.

Other than him, the others also noticed this phenomenon and began to jump off the broken wall one by one, while the snake group chasing behind did stop and linger.

Everyone finally had time to catch their breath, and collapsed on the huge strange rock to rest.

When the others were tired and paralyzed, lying or sitting and panting, Shi Shangzuo still had enough energy to jump on the highest and nearest strange rock, watching the snakes hissing, wandering around the edge of the cliff from time to time. He didn't dare to go any further, and finally looked down unwillingly, before swimming towards the jungle.

Shi Shangzuo jumped onto the strange rock where Wu Xiajiu was sitting, and wiped his bleeding wrist, which was scratched by the thorns of the tree vines, forming many small wounds, even his face was scratched , shed a little blood.

"My mother, I was almost bitten. The quality of the clothes is really good." Sitting near the group of people, Xiao Yao pulled the sleeves on his body and said. Looking closely, there are two holes on the top. Pierced by snake teeth.

"Teacher, how are you?" Fang Zi gasped. There was a red mark on his face, which was hit by some flying snake tail when he ran away just now.

Professor Zhou was too tired to speak, so he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"Look..." At this moment, Wu Xiajiu stood up suddenly, pointed to the huge mountain wall opposite and said, "Is that the Grand Canyon hanging from the sky?"

The opposite mountain wall is extremely steep at first glance. The vegetation on the side facing them is sparse, and there are many cliffs and peaks standing on the wall.

And below the mountain wall is a spacious and rushing river. The river rolls up waves and slaps on the cliff, with white foam around it. The wall turns around, and there is a nine-way ileum. Not far away, there is a mountain peak facing the mountain wall. The junction is narrow. It seems that the sky and the water are connected together, and the curtain is about to fall, as if the sky is hanging.

Everyone sat on top of the strange rock, staring at the magnificent scenery in front of them.

At this moment, Tang Yunsi pointed down and said, "Look, there seems to be a boat there!"

Going down from the strange rock, there is a small beach below, mixed with sand and stones, and there are several unmanned boats parked by the river, all of which are wooden boats, which seem to be in good condition and can be used only with sails.

"I'll go to the boat to have a look." Shi Shang left holding a rope and said.

"I'll go too." Wu Xiajiu also found a rope ladder.

Several people nodded, Lu Nan went up together, and the rest watched from below.

The appearance of the hull is not bad, but there are sawdust and stones scattered everywhere on the board, some places should be damaged by stones, missing arms and legs, and Wu Xiajiu found a kerosene lamp rolled on the ground in the corner .

"It's still usable." He placed the kerosene lamp on the hull, and lifted up one of the wooden barrels beside him. There was an unpleasant smell inside, and a few stinky fish were still inside.

Shi Shangzuo came out of the cabin, found a few blankets, and spread them on the deck, "The things inside are quite complete, and some of them are still usable. We can rest on the boat tonight and set off tomorrow to go to the canyon. .”

Lu Nan nodded, walked to the side of the boat, called the others up, and helped hold the rope ladder.

Xiao Yao and Zhu Lanmeng helped tidy up the blanket, and sighed, "Fortunately, I don't have to sleep on the cold ground, where there are sand and small stones, it's so uncomfortable to sleep on."

Zhu Lanmeng nodded in agreement.

It was getting late, and no one chose to set off at this time. After all, the river was gradually rushing, and the night was not as good as the day, and the vision was dim. If something happened to the river, it would be difficult to save yourself.

Moreover, after their violent escape, their bodies were inevitably covered with scars. Some snakes are not poisonous, and the wounds bitten on their bodies also need to be treated.

Wu Xia sat on the hull for a long time, looking at the line where sky and water intersect in the distance, his head turned to one side, as if leaning on Shi Shangzuo's shoulder, "Tell me, if you go around this side, what does that place look like?" ?”

Could it be that they are looking for tickets on the vast river?

"I don't know." Shi Shangzuo honestly shook his head, looking at his drooping eyelashes intently.

Wu Xiajiu sighed and said, "The river here is too wide, and it looks very deep. It feels like if you fall, you won't be able to float up."

Shi Shang said, "Jiu Jiu, do you have deep-sea phobia?"

Wu Xiajiu: "...No, this is not the sea, I'm not afraid."

Shi Shang let out a groan, and pointed to the river, "Did you know? The more spacious the place, the more gigantic species will be bred, just like the creatures in the jungle, in order to protect themselves, laying confusing or dangerous plants on their bodies. appearance."

Speaking of this, Shi Shangzuo paused and continued, "Generally, some creatures force themselves to evolve continuously in order to resist natural enemies, while some creatures are born without enemies and are born at the top of the food chain, so in their lifetime, there is no need to Life changes, but in the long river of time, it cannot stop evolving..."

"What evolution?" Wu Xiajiu tilted his head to look at him.

Shi Shangzuo raised the corner of his lips, stretched out a finger to point at his face, and said in a drawn out voice, "It's... keep getting bigger."

Wu Xiajiu: "..."

He endured and endured, facing the smirk on Shi Shangzuo's face, he finally tilted his head and bit Shi Shangzuo's finger.

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts." Shi Shangzuo gasped softly, and leaned towards him.

Wu Xiajiu let go of his mouth and said, "I didn't use any force..." What are you calling?

Shi Shangzuo opened his eyes wide and said, "It hurts."

Wu Xia hesitated for a long time, "Then, bite it back."

"Can I bite somewhere else?"

"……no."

"Forget it, it doesn't hurt."

"........."

Fang Zi put his hand on his face and sighed, "I abused the dog, I don't care about small animals at all."

Xiao Yao was beside him, nodding sympathetically, with his ponytail bouncing back and forth.

Lu Nan walked to the bow of the boat at some point, propping up his arms and looking at the darkened water surface, the starlight in the sky shone and reflected on it.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Yunsi walked over and asked standing beside him.

"Look at the scenery." Lu Nan pointed to the surface of the river, which seemed to be sprinkled with many star diamonds, shining beautifully.

Lu Nan's appearance belonged to the non-aggressive kind, with delicate features, and his personality seemed calm and indifferent, but Tang Yunsi knew that there was another side hidden in his bones. When Loulan Ancient Kingdom saw him for the first time, he left him deep impression.

Tang Yunsi couldn't help being curious, "What did you do before? I mean before getting in the car."

Lu Nan was a little surprised that he asked this question, but he still said, "I'm preparing for the exam."

Tang Yunsi widened his peach blossom eyes in surprise, looked Lu Nan up and down, and suddenly stretched out his hand to squeeze his shoulder, "Is your small body too thin for reading?"

Lu Nan: "...No, I actually gained a few pounds during my preparation for the Ph.D. exam."

Tang Yunsi blinked and looked at Lu Nan for a few seconds, "Let's lose weight now."

Lu Nan tilted his head, uncertain, "It should be..." He looked at Tang Yunsi and said, "But why are we talking about this?"

Tang Yunsi was silent. It was indeed a rather unnutritious topic. He shrugged his shoulders to end the conversation and asked Lu Nan to rest earlier.

Lu Nan nodded, and was about to turn around and leave with Tang Yunsi, but suddenly his eyes stopped, and he looked at the river. In the distance, it seemed that something came out of the river, but it seemed to be rolled up by waves , calmed down again in just a moment.

Lu Nan frowned suspiciously, turned around and left after watching for a while, at the moment he turned around, the river surface was choppy again, and after a slight movement, it calmed down again.
