Chapter 100: The Great Indian Adventure (Temple)
The hunger in the belly pulled the excited crowd back to reality.
Let these ghosts that do not conform to the rules of nature return to dust and dust, and return to the embrace of nature after decay.
Wu Liang took Teddy, Lucy, and Michael back to the manor before dark.
Although the serpent Doshaga has been wiped out of the nest, there are many dangerous animals in the jungle, and it is definitely not a good idea to wander around the rainforest in the dark night.
However, Wu Liang, the dirty wine cellar with a strong smell of ammonia in the air, did not plan to go back anyway, and while the sunset was still there, several people simply cleaned up a small room above the wine cellar near the kitchen, sealed the only window with canvas, and set up a tent here.
Ram, who had fallen into delusion and could not extricate himself, was still indulging in the illusion of making a fortune, and drunk himself early, and lay down on the steps of the cellar like a dead pig, not even knowing that the poppy field he had imagined to be his monopoly had withered, and that he hoped that tomorrow this stupid fellow would not be frightened by what he saw.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Wu Liang felt that this night was unusually long, as if all the large predators in the entire rainforest were concentrated near the Valma family manor, there were super giant Bengal tigers with a length of three meters and a half, jungle leopards with a size of nearly three meters but still agile and amazing, and giant spiders the size of washbasins. What's even more bizarre is that several predators that are supposed to be natural predators or rivals, even if they encounter each other, there is no conflict, as if they have a common goal, and they are heading straight in the same direction.
“WTF! This hellish place is really too evil, and there won't be any more demon moths, right? Lowering his voice, Wu Liang burst into a foul mouth.
The other three people who also lowered their bodies and crawled in front of the window nodded in unison, and Lucy opened her mouth to complain: "It's already strange like this, isn't it still a demon moth?" ”
A thin layer of canvas doesn't give you the slightest sense of security, even if it's nailed to a wooden plank.
Fortunately, all kinds of predators have a clear goal, and they don't care about the few people huddled in the small room.
Endure until the first rays of sunlight shine in the sky, what a hell of a night, the roar of the beast lasted all night, and the four people who didn't dare to close their eyes all night prayed and thanked the gods and Buddhas of their respective beliefs.
The long night of premature life finally passed, and the few people who were really unbearable didn't want to stay longer for even a minute, so they simply packed up and quickly evacuated from the manor. Of course, in order to take care of Ram, who was about to fall into a state of overall collapse, Wu Liang left a large piece of chocolate and a few packets of compressed biscuits at the door of the wine cellar very intimately.
Following the pile of rocks on the side of the road to find their way to the road, they lifted the canvas and found the two tuktuk carts hidden in the bushes from the hidden spots, and along the road that had been opened, the four of them left the damn rainforest as fast as they could, and re-embarked on the road to the Padmanaba Swami Temple.
The strange encounters in these two days added a layer of weirdness to the supposed peaceful trip to the Padmanaba Swamy Temple, and even the worst situation in Wu Liang's plan was to encounter some ordinary human opponents such as guerrillas or robbers, and the giant tigers and pythons encountered in the past two days directly refreshed Wu Liang's understanding of this rainforest, and the word danger has no way to describe this damn rainforest, purgatory is almost the same.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was no time to stop along the way, and the group of four people and two cars set off at five o'clock in the morning for a distance of nearly eighty kilometers, and after completely getting away from the purgatory, they found an open place in the forest to stop and rest.
Rummaging through the marching pot from his luggage, he boiled a large pot of Spam luncheon meat and the shoots of some edible plants that Teddy picked up from the woods, and Wu Liang also took advantage of Lucy and Michael's efforts to find firewood and secretly added some Sichuan hot pot seasoning, that is, the traditional red oil base, and the four guys who had not eaten seriously all day drank the spicy soup with red oil and gobbled up the compressed biscuits.
Nearly ten hours of driving at full speed made everyone tired, especially Wu Liang and Michael, who often needed to get out of the car and pick up machetes to open the way, and after eating, the two of them sat lazily on the big rock that was hot in the sun and did not want to move.
"Teddy, how far are we from the temple? Will it arrive before the sun sets? Wu Liang, who had been nervous for a long time, urgently needed a good rest.
Teddy, who was squatting on the side and brushing the pot, replied: "Boss, we are already very close to the temple, and we can walk more than ten kilometers at most!" ”
"More than a dozen kilometers! Is there still a two-hour drive away? Damn it! It's so far! Wu Liang, who had a sore back and a sore back, couldn't help but complain.
Even Michael, who has always been taciturn and becomes a chatter when he sees big news, began to complain: "Teddy! What do you think about the people who built the temple in the first place, but to build the temple in such a remote place! ”
"When there was no war, it wasn't remote at all, and I remember when I was a kid there were several very good flat roads leading to the temple, and there were villages all over the place. The war, which has been going on for several years, has ruined everything, and the damned government forces have completely screwed up the situation! Hell war! Teddy, who wanted to explain, looked very excited when he talked about the war that had destroyed his hometown, and his expression was a little distorted, as if he was to blame for the war with both hands tightly grasping the marching pot.
“relax! Teddy, relax! Don't spoil the pot, we only have this pot, if you break it, aren't you going to eat it for dinner? Seeing that the topic was a little off, Wu Liang hurriedly interrupted.
“sorry! Boss! I'm a little too excited! Realizing his gaffe, Teddy scratched his cheek and regained that somewhat two-hearted optimistic expression.
"Forget it! I've also eaten, so let's go straight if it's okay! There's still a dozen kilometers to get to the temple, isn't it? ”
After a short rest, the four continued towards the temple.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the wreckage of a large building that had been completely destroyed appeared in front of everyone.
