Looking at this piece of leather, Zhuang Rui was a little surprised. There were lines drawn on it. It didn't look like a map, but more like a child's graffiti, all twisted and twisted.
However, Zhuang Rui is an antique player, and he knows that there are differences between foreign countries and ancient China. Ancient Chinese people wanted to preserve some records, and most of them were recorded on bamboo slips at first, and later on cloth and paper.
However, in foreign countries, most of the records used to record important events are made of specially prepared leather and then written on it with pigment. Events recorded in this way can often be preserved for a longer period of time.
It's just that the leather that can be written on must be made of sheepskin. This is the origin of the legend of the parchment rolls. In addition, it requires some special craftsmanship, so it is not a very important thing and is generally not recorded on the leather.
In other words, the leather in Zhuang Rui's hand must have its secrets, but looking at the graffiti-like painting, Zhuang Rui could only shake his head and sigh, as he was incapable of deciphering it.
One thing Zhuang Rui is sure of is that this leather is definitely not a map, because it is full of lines. It is more appropriate to call it a maze route map.
After folding the leather again, Zhuang Rui returned to the cave and kept the leather and the gold glove together.
In order to prevent small animals from causing trouble in the cave, Zhuang Rui dug a not very deep pit in the cave, and then pressed it with a stone weighing forty or fifty kilograms. In this way, in addition to Zhuang Rui and King Kong, there were no animals like cats and badgers.
Animals cannot move stones.
"Hoo ho!"
Zhuang Rui had just finished cleaning up, but King Kong had finished his work over there. In order to save trouble, this guy simply picked up a small tree and carried it back, and ate the young leaves on the tree while walking. Zhuang Rui couldn't laugh or cry.
Helpless, Zhuang Rui could only pick up some dry branches nearby and bring them back to the cave to have a barbecue.
Although there was only salt as a seasoning, King Kong's mouth was still full of oil. He kept bending his shoulders to show Zhuang Rui's muscles. The funny look made Zhuang Rui laugh. Zhuang Rui's laughter could be heard from time to time at the foot of the mountain.
Zhuang Rui used the iron pot he found in the wooden house to cook a pot of mutton soup. However, the smell of mutton was too strong, so Zhuang Rui didn't drink it. However, King Kong drank it with gusto, and a large pot of soup was consumed by it.
After lunch, Zhuang Ruijian took a knight's sword from the cave that had been polished by the stream and glowed again. He looked at King Kong and said, "King Kong, will you take me for a spin?"
For nearly half a month, Zhuang Rui has been tidying up the wooden house village, and has never had time to explore the leafy mountain forest in front of him. Now that the work of tidying up the wooden houses has come to an end, Zhuang Rui has started to think about it.
"Ouch!"
King Kong was a little confused and looked at Zhuang Rui with a pair of big eyes full of questions. He really couldn't understand what the word "Zuan Zhuan" meant.
Zhuang Rui stood up, pointed to the mountains ahead, and said: "Go up the mountain... Go play in the mountains, show me where you live..."
Although Zhuang Rui himself felt that his relationship with King Kong was very close, what surprised him was that King Kong had to climb up the mountain to stay for a while every day. After coming down from the mountain, his mood was always not very high, and it took Zhuang Rui a long time to tease him.
Be happy.
This discovery made Zhuang Rui really curious. Rather than wanting to explore this extinct volcano, he wanted to solve the mystery in his heart.
"Hoo ho!"
Now King Kong understood, especially the word "play". He completely understood what it meant. When he saw Zhuang Rui going up the mountain, King Kong jumped up excitedly.
"Hey...hey, man, can we slow down?"
Seeing King Kong running and climbing up the mountain, Zhuang Rui immediately shouted anxiously from behind.
It's not that Zhuang Rui can't keep up with King Kong's movements at all, but Zhuang Rui now has two pieces of sheepskin covering his vital parts. He is not as thick as King Kong's skin. If he imitates King Kong's way of going up the mountain, he will definitely be hit by the thorny bushes on the mountain.
He was covered in bruises and bruises.
Then again, Zhuang Rui now treasures the boots on his feet. He usually ties the boots with laces and hangs them around his neck. He only wears them when he is searching the cabin.
.
If I were running up the mountain, I would estimate that these boots would be worn out during the trip.
"Ouch?"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's shout, King Kong stopped and looked back at Zhuang Rui.
"Slow down, walk slowly..."
Zhuang Rui taught King Kong this word many times. Although the big guy could understand it, it was born with a quick temper. However, it saw that Zhuang Rui couldn't walk fast, so it could only slow down and follow Zhuang Rui slowly.
This mountain is actually not high, but the slope is very steep. It may be that the volcanic eruption lasted for a long time and covers a large area.
After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the cooled volcanic rock surface has turned into soil suitable for plant survival. The mountains are covered with various trees, many of which are more than ten meters high.
After walking into the mountain forest, Zhuang Rui suddenly felt a sense of coolness.
The trees with lush foliage blocked the sun, and there were more animals. There were goats, cats, badgers that Zhuang Rui had seen before, and some chameleons that were hard to identify lying on the trees. If Zhuang Rui hadn't seen it well,
I really can't find it.
"Ouch!"
Arriving in the forest, King Kong seemed to have returned to his own territory. First he beat his chest and let out a long roar, and then he did not forget to make a pose according to the movements taught by Zhuang Rui. Zhuang Rui hid and snickered.
"Hoo ho..."
King Kong climbed up a tree quickly, and his figure quickly got into the leaves. Zhuang Rui couldn't see clearly what it was doing from below, so he could only walk higher up slowly, his nerves very tight. Zhuang Rui was so nervous
It is to guard against the attack of venomous snakes.
Most of the islands have snakes. These snakes are the natural enemies of seabirds and are relatively rare at the foot of the mountain. However, after entering the mountain forest, Zhuang Rui found at least two colorful snakes. Zhuang Rui didn't know if they were venomous snakes.
"Ouch!" King Kong jumped down from the tree, holding a handful of cherry-sized, black fruit in his hand. He stuffed it into his mouth and handed a handful to Zhuang Rui.
"What is this?"
Zhuang Rui had never seen this thing before, but when he saw King Kong eating happily, he picked one up and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, a sour taste spread to his taste buds. "Bah", Zhuang Rui quickly spit it out.
"Hoo ho!"
Seeing Zhuang Rui spit out the fruit, King Kong was a little unhappy. He grabbed a handful of the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it hard, and kept making gestures to Zhuang Rui, indicating that the food was delicious.
It's hard to resist such hospitality, and the sourness can also quench thirst. Zhuang Rui also imitated King Kong, grabbed five or six fruits, put them in his mouth and started chewing.
It was still a bit sour at first, but after the pulp was bitten into pieces, Zhuang Rui felt that his mouth was full of sweetness. This kind of taste was very strange. At least Zhuang Rui, who had eaten hundreds of kinds of fruits, had never encountered it before.
After finishing all the dozen fruits in his hand, Zhuang Rui looked at King Kong. This thing is really delicious.
"Hmph!"
King Kong was very happy when he saw Zhuang Rui listening to his words. After humming a few times, he gave all the remaining fruits in his hand to Zhuang Rui, jumped up and led the way up the mountain.
After passing through this mountain forest, the terrain becomes a little higher, and most of the things growing on the mountain are shrubs, and tall plants are rarely seen.
There are many caves on the surface of the mountain. When passing these caves, some frightened small animals will emerge from them from time to time, and King Kong will chase them excitedly. It does not want to eat these things, it is just for fun.
After walking for nearly an hour, Zhuang Rui discovered that he was only halfway up the mountain, and apart from some seabirds and small animals, there were no secrets on the mountain that Zhuang Rui wanted to know.
"King Kong, where did you sleep at night?" Zhuang Rui pulled King Kong and made a sleeping gesture.
"oh oh!"
King Kong pointed forward with his arms. The excitement of climbing the mountain suddenly disappeared, and there seemed to be sadness in his eyes.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhuang Rui saw King Kong standing in front of a rock and suddenly stopped. He couldn't help but feel strange and asked: "King Kong, what's wrong?"
King Kong did not answer Zhuang Rui's words, but stood on the edge of the rock and pushed hard. The rock that seemed to be rooted in the ground actually slowly moved, and a cave entrance was exposed behind the rock.
.
"Damn, what does it smell like..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui approached the entrance of the cave, he was stricken by the putrid smell and stepped back.
King Kong did not enter the cave, but stood at the entrance of the cave, letting out a very sad cry. Zhuang Rui could see clearly that tears fell from King Kong's eyes.
"This...is this the tomb of the orangutans?"
The smell in the cave was so unpleasant that Zhuang Rui simply used his spiritual energy to look at it. What he saw shocked him. Inside this cave, which was thirty or forty meters deep, there were dozens of skeletons of orangutans, large and small, lying inside.
The closer the bones are to the cave, the smaller they are, and the most decayed, revealing dense white bones. As the order changes, the size of the orangutan continues to grow.
The outermost two are almost as good as King Kong, and their bodies are not badly decayed. Their fur is still intact, so they should not have been dead for a long time.
These two should be King Kong's parents, and King Kong's size can be judged from the physical form of the orangutan in the cave, perhaps due to mutations caused by sexual mating and changes in the living environment.
Zhuang Rui now knows that King Kong runs to the mountains every day, perhaps in memory of his parents, and in his generation, he has become the only gorilla on this desert island.
"King Kong, let's go and play in the mountains..."
Seeing King Kong's sad look, Zhuang Rui couldn't bear it. He quickly nourished King Kong with spiritual energy and spoke to divert its attention.
