I felt nervous. It was broad daylight now, and the lush tree canopy blocked most of the sunlight, but there was still enough light. It was impossible for me to see wrong. During the two seconds when I turned my head, I couldn't see Fan Tuan at all.
The shadow, one second he was still mumbling, the next second he said "Hey" and disappeared? My mind suddenly couldn't turn around.
But immediately after, I heard several miserable screams above my head. I subconsciously looked up and immediately saw Fan Tuan being wrapped up by something around his waist and dragged several meters into the air. He was in the air.
He struggled fiercely, but his body was suspended in the air and he couldn't exert much energy, so he had nothing to do as he swayed around and could only open his mouth and scream.
"What's going on!" I asked him. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see people running toward us by the river. I wanted to calm Fan Tuan down. After the people arrived, all problems could be solved.
"You! Be careful!" Fan Tuan was dangling on it, and it seemed that he was still being dragged upward by something that was clinging to him: "The rattan next to the tree! That thing can move!"
Before he finished speaking, I felt a sudden tightness on my calf, and something was wrapped around it. I looked down and saw that it was an old vine as thick as three fingers, with a few new leaves. This thing had been there before
I saw it, but didn't care. However, now, it was like a snake. After wrapping around my calf, a huge force came from the other end of the vine. My body immediately lost balance and I almost fell down.
I got up, and when I was in danger, I stretched out a hand and grabbed the roots of the old tree protruding from the ground. The force was very strong. I was desperately grabbing the roots, and it was dragging me towards the crown of the tree.
, during the stalemate, I could even hear the joints of my joints being pulled and making a popping sound.
"Catch!" Lao An and the others ran this way, but I didn't know how long I could hold on. Lao An shouted, raised his hand and threw over a short knife wrapped in a scabbard. The knife was about a foot and a half long.
It was heavy and extremely sharp. At that moment, my reaction was surprisingly fast. I reached out to catch the dagger, bit off the scabbard with my teeth, and with a sudden bow of my body, I cut off the rattan wrapped around my calf in three or two strokes.
The broken cane seemed to be alive. It immediately shrank behind the tree as it was cut. When I escaped, Lao An and the others ran over. It was only then that I felt the burst of energy I heard before.
The buzzing sound is getting stronger and more obvious.
"Hurry! It's a sand wasp!" Lao An shouted, and at the same time, I saw a large number of dense insects flying out from the tall and dense canopy.
The thing was very huge, like a wasp, each one about ten centimeters long. Because of their huge size, their wings must maintain a very high vibration frequency in order to fly, so the buzzing sound was connected together, like an overwhelming sound.
In the legend of Kunlun, there is a big bird called Qinyuan, which is very similar to a wasp. Everything it stings will die. The bugs in front of you are not that big, but a calm man like Lao An looks panicked at this moment. It can be imagined that
, that’s definitely not a good thing.
"Put me down..." Fan Tuan was hung in the air, unable to move at all. Those buzzing sand wasps flew out of the dense canopy in groups. If Fan Tuan was locked, I think
He will be stung all over his body.
After so many days of contact, I can't completely trust Fan Tuan, but at least he is kinder and kinder to me than others. I have always followed the principle of giving an equal footing to others. In front of the overwhelming sand wasps
, I didn’t run because I couldn’t leave Fan Tuan behind.
Others were helpless and couldn't think of any good solution in such a short time. I pulled down the hood of my jacket and put it over my head, turned around and started climbing up the thick tree. These big trees have been growing for who knows how many years.
, the cracks in the bark of the tree were wide enough to extend into the soles of the feet, making it easy to climb up. Faced with life and death, I moved faster than before, and climbed several meters up in a few clicks, but this position was still far away from Fan Tuan, so I stretched out my hands as hard as I could.
, but could not touch him.
"Be careful!" Su Xiaomeng felt that I was in a bad mood these days, so she didn't dare to pester me to talk. At this time, she stood below and shouted to me loudly. When I heard her shouting, my heart surged.
An indescribable taste.
Sometimes, I am a sensitive person, and I can sense the emotion expressed in the other person's expression, or even in his eyes. I feel that Su Xiaomeng's concern comes from her heart.
I didn't have time to reply, so after thinking about it for a moment, I asked Fan Tuan to get ready.
"Brother, I don't want to die!" Fan Tuan was probably dizzy. He was swinging back and forth in mid-air, shouting: "There are still some savings in the card that have not been spent. Think of a way to give me a chance..."
..”
"Stop talking nonsense!" I took a deep breath, then held my breath and pushed my feet hard on the tree trunk. With this inertia, my whole body seemed to be flying in the air. It was a few meters above the ground.
You may fall badly if you go down, but I believe that no matter how hard you fall, it will be better than being stung all over by countless sand wasps.
When I slid down to Fan Tuan, I used all my strength to slash at the vine that was wrapped around him with my knife. The short knife was extremely sharp, so I used all my strength and chopped it off in one go. Fan Tuan and I
Suddenly they fell from a flat position to the ground. If there were people below catching them, it would probably not be a big problem.
However, just before I landed, I suddenly felt my chest being pricked by a thin needle. The sting was stinging. This sting was nothing, I could bear it, but what came with it was a sharp sting.
I felt an irresistible feeling of numbness. I subconsciously raised my hand and slapped it, and a huge sand wasp was slapped to pieces on my chest. I don’t know if it was for psychological reasons. My hands and feet immediately became weak. I waited until someone else hit the ground.
, as if he could no longer stand still.
My vision began to blur. The poisonous effect of sand wasps occurred very quickly, almost as fast as the nerve reaction. The red and swollen patches spread from my chest to my neck and face in a short time. My whole body felt like swollen.
It felt like there was a fire burning in my body, making the blood in every blood vessel in my body boil. The burning and suffocating feeling was so uncomfortable that I would die. Lao An and the others hugged me and ran away. We were incapable of dealing with them.
With so many sand wasps, the only way is to go into the water.
"He...how is he..." Su Xiaomeng asked Lao An in a tearful tone. When they carried me towards the river not far away, my consciousness was already in a trance, and the clouds were foggy.
It was the same here, erratic. The buzzing of sand wasps was like a tide. Someone pulled up a piece of unburned grass from the fire and used smoke to drive them away.
"The sand wasps are extremely poisonous." Lao An said this, but my sensory system may have been interfered by the toxins, so I couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly. Vaguely, I felt Lao An using a knife to hit my chest where I was stung.
He made a cut. Next, he was probably carried by them and jumped into the river. Being soaked in the cold river water, the burning sensation all over his body was slightly relieved.
Swarms of sand wasps gathered quickly. I don’t know if the sand wasp that was shot to death left some pheromones or something like that, but all the people in the group were locked. Several people were soaking in the river, with their heads above their heads.
The sand wasps are passing by piece by piece. Anyone with experience knows that at this time, you can only bite a reed pole in the middle, and then hide all of them in the river water without revealing an inch, and spend time with the sand wasps to get rid of them.
.However, I have lost some sensory awareness and can only barely maintain spontaneous breathing.
I couldn't hear what they were discussing, and I didn't know what solution they came up with, but in a daze, I felt two warm lips pressed tightly against my lips, and then they were immersed in the river water together.
I obtained the necessary oxygen through this method of artificial respiration. I didn’t know whose lips those lips belonged to, but in my confused consciousness, Su Xiaomeng’s shadow slowly emerged. I could feel her hugging me tightly.
, our lips touched each other without any gaps.
I think it shouldn't be my first kiss, but I have never felt like this before. I can imagine the slightly raised corners of Su Xiaomeng's mouth as she laughed happily, and the iconic little white tiger teeth, but it is a pity.
, in a haze, I completely lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, it was already dark. We were probably hiding in a temporary tent, and there was a smoldering fire burning outside. I couldn't feel the burning sensation in my body, but it was just slightly swollen, which indicated that sand wasps
The toxins may have been expelled.
"You are lucky." Lao An got into the tent and said to me: "People who are stung by sand wasps almost never survive."
I felt very tired and didn't want to talk. When I turned around, I saw Su Xiaomeng and Fan Tuan sitting next to me. They may have been guarding me since I landed ashore.
"Let's take a short break and wait until we move to a safe place tomorrow. Let's talk about the rest after you recover." Lao An nodded to me and said, "Also, I want to thank you."
I looked at him with questioning eyes, wondering what he wanted to thank me for.
"Thank you for not leaving your companions and escaping alone at the most critical moment."
Lao An didn't talk nonsense anymore and left the tent. My consciousness became clear and my senses returned to normal. I could clearly see the subtlest expressions on the faces of Su Xiaomeng and Fan Tuan.
"Brother..." Fan Tuan grabbed my hand and said, "I don't know what to say to thank you, anyway... anyway..."
"That's nothing." I tried to turn over and sit up. There was nothing serious about my body. As long as the neurotoxins are expelled completely, they generally won't have much impact.
"Good engine oil lasts a lifetime." Fan Tuan looked at me sincerely and said, "You saved me once in a tree, and I saved you once in the river. I think you can feel my broad lung capacity."
My eyes suddenly opened as wide as eggs, and I suddenly felt that Fan Tuan's honest face was indescribably disgusting. If he was the one who gave me oxygen in the river, and this matter spread, I think it would be better to die directly.
Simply in the river.
"Are you surprised?" Fan Tuan said, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.
"Okay, stop making trouble, and don't take the credit of others for yourself." Su Xiaomeng smiled and pushed Fan Tuan. I turned to look at her. When my eyes touched her, she dodged a little, her face
There was a vague shyness on his face.
It took almost no time to think before I could recall the scene of our lips touching each other.
It was not a real kiss, but as long as I think about it, I will feel a little sweet. I don't want to think so, because I know that Su Xiaomeng and I are not on the same ground, but every scene that has happened will remain in my mind.
in memory.
I don't want to think about it, but I can't help but think about it. People are always so contradictory.
