Text Volume 1 Survival on a Desert Island_Chapter 43 Conjecture of the Waterhole
"Human nature ......," I sighed, "human nature is like this...... From the moment Li Mingming decided to abandon Sister Ran, this person's humanity has been exposed, because he is that kind of person, so he is afraid that one day we will also drive him away, he thinks that we are the same people as him...... Hehe, that's ridiculous! ”
The third girl was silent again, and I said again: "I dare to guarantee that if Owen and they don't watch out for Li Mingming, they will end up the same as us, or even worse than us!" ”
"Why?" Zuo Mingzhu frowned.
Bai Jiao said: "Didn't you see that Owen gave Li Mingming that slap, just in the cave, Owen has completely gained the upper hand, Li Mingzhi knows that Owen is relatively strong, the reason why they wooed Owen is just to deal with us, and after we leave, the next one is Owen!" ”
"That's right......" I added, "Let's not say that Owen's slap made Li Mingming hold a grudge, even if he didn't have that slap, Li Mingming would still find a way to get rid of Owen!" ”
"Owen is a good person, he is just being deceived by Li Mingming one after another, I only hope he will find out Li Mingming's nature sooner, otherwise it will ......"
That's right, otherwise I'm afraid that the end will be worse than ours, they all say that hitting people doesn't slap their faces, Owen's slap made me see the resentment in Li Mingming's eyes.
He is just jealous of Owen's strength, but if there is a chance, Li Mingming will definitely retaliate like crazy!
"Alright, let's move on...... This place is too cold and too conspicuous, we have to find a place to rest in the middle of nowhere......"
Saying that, I took the lead in getting up, ready to reach out to help Jingran, I knew they didn't want to get up, but there was no way, we couldn't stay all the time, we had to find a place to sleep as soon as possible, otherwise the night would get colder and colder, and it would be difficult to get through.
Jing Ran was helped up by me, and Zuo Mingzhu and Bai Jiao followed behind us.
In order not to make the atmosphere of walking dull, I suddenly said, "Let me tell you two episodes!" ”
"What vignette?" Bai Jiao was the first to express curiosity.
"You see, when we came back, Lisa and I brought back a lot of grass carp!"
"Yes, yes, yes......" Zuo Mingzhu seemed to have suddenly stimulated: "Zhang Lang, where did the fish come from?" Is there a pond nearby? Or a waterhole? Or...... Rivers? ”
I nodded, "Yes, if we can't find food tomorrow, I think I'll have to go to that waterhole again, and to be honest, I don't really want to go." ”
"Why? Since there are pools, there are fish...... Why don't we just find a suitable place to camp next to the waterhole? Wouldn't we have more hope of surviving? Even the problem with food was solved! ”
"No, you're wrong Jiaojiao, the reason why I don't want to go is because this waterhole is a little strange!"
"What's strange?"
"This waterhole is near the mountain, and there is a waterfall hanging down from the mountain...... However, have you ever seen a waterfall fall into the water and not even splash? ”
"What? No splashes? What do you mean? Bai Jiao's tone was full of doubt.
I said in a deep voice: "This waterhole is very strange, not only the waterfall falls, splashing water, but it dissipates in an instant, even if there are some small splashes, it is always around the waterfall less than two meters in a radius, we went into the water, just went ashore for a while, the waterhole surface is immediately calm, not even ripples, isn't it strange?" ”
"Is there such a phenomenon?"
"Yes...... Also, if you think about it again, do you remember the team of men in leather that we met earlier? ”
"Remember!"
"Do you remember the crazy approach of the leather-clad men's team? They use the corpses of their dead companions as food...... Why? ”
"Because there is a shortage of food on this desert island!"
"Yes, but you know, the man in leather has been on this desert island for a while, and that waterhole is not very far from the edge of the desert island, and we met the man in leather at the edge of the desert island, which means that their camp is also nearby, why can we find it? Can't they find it? No way, I think they must have known about the existence of the waterhole! ”
"What do you mean...... They know there is a waterhole, but they don't fish from it? ”
"That's right! Think about such a pool, we caught seven or eight grass carp from it at one time, the man in leather is not stupid, there are fish that do not eat the corpse of his companion, you think he has a problem with his brain? ”
"So...... Having a problem with the waterhole? ”
"Yes...... I think there may be two reasons, one, this waterhole is very dangerous, and the leather-clad men don't dare to go into the water at all, but Lisa and I are lucky that we didn't encounter any danger this time...... Second, the waterhole is poisonous, and the contents cannot be eaten, if so, the leather-clad men must have tasted the bitter fruit...... Third ......"
The third point, and the one I tend to the most, is the one that I am most inclined to.
"Thirdly, this waterhole has an owner, and it is a stronger master than the team of men in leather coats...... Don't forget that the man in leather once said that most of this forest is divided by teams, and there are large and small forces, although we haven't met anyone else yet, but I don't think the man in leather needs to lie to us, the reason why they don't dare to go to this waterhole may be because the owner of the waterhole is much stronger than them......"
"Then ......" Zuo Mingzhu's tone was slightly disappointed at this time: "Are we going to the waterhole tomorrow?" ”
I sighed, "It depends, I really have no choice but to go there, and now that I think about it, I still have some fears, but fortunately Lisa and I didn't meet anything...... In fact, the road into the waterhole was blocked by people with thorn bushes, and there was a road in the thorn bushes, which was definitely artificially developed...... So, I think the third possibility is very high. Let's just hope that tomorrow we can find something to eat, and we don't go near that waterhole until we have to! ”
"Good!"
At this time, we have come to a relatively high slope, down the steep slope, I saw a hill, through the moonlight, I saw that the vicinity of the mountain is covered by jungle, such a terrain is actually very suitable for human habitation.
Generally, when people camp in the wild, they will choose a place with trees and open space, rather than being directly exposed to the wilderness, because the dew is more severe at night, and the surrounding tree branches can also be used as a nestle to build a temporary campsite.
I didn't think about it, so I walked with the third girl to the jungle over there.
On the way, I continued: "In addition to that waterhole, there is another thing that is also incredible! ”
"What's the matter?" Bai Jiao asked.
I said in a deep voice, "When we came back, we met a leopard, a leopard!" ”
"There are leopards?" Zuo Mingzhu was also very surprised, this was probably the most exciting news she heard when she came to this desert island.
