Chapter 10 Heaven's Endless Road
At this moment, a voice passed by their heads, and Yang Bo suddenly raised his head, and an unknown bird was flying forward!
"Bird?"
"Que'er?"
Yang Bo and Tie Niu looked at each other, and infinite hope suddenly surged in their hearts!
These days, Tie Niu has been working hard to find any food to eat, but unfortunately he always returns disappointed. Not to mention mice, he has not even found a beetle.
But now a bird appears here!
The two of them followed the birds with eager eyes and flew towards the back of the mountain. Something called hope suddenly surged in their hearts, and they even forgot about the strong sense of hunger.
"Brother, you can definitely find something to eat ahead!" Tie Niu bent down and carried Yang Bo, who no longer insisted on staying alone on his back.
Yang Bo did not say anything, patted Tieniu on the shoulder to encourage him.
(After many years later, Tie Niu told others about the dilemma facing Yang Bo and said: "Just when my elder brother and I thought our life was cut off, fortunately this unknown Queer guided us. I thought it was God's guidance, but my elder brother didn't agree...")
This story becomes more and more evil, and later it becomes like this: just as Yang Bo and Tie Niu were dying and had no choice but to do anything. Suddenly, a thunder broke through several gaps in the sky, and a faint sound of fairy music came from the air! Then a group of colorful birds rushed over, lifting up Yang Bo and Tie Niu's bodies and flew to a table full of chickens, geese, fish, ducks, and delicious food. Yang Bo and the two got out of trouble because of this...)
The words of exporting to domestic sales were sent back to Yang Bo and Tie Niu's ears. They had been withering each other for a long time, and were speechless...
After walking around several earthen mountains, some green began to appear sparsely in front of them. The iron cow cheered and speeded up.
Even if you can't find anything else to eat, these weeds can still deal with it for a while. Unexpectedly, as soon as you turned the foot of the mountain, the scenery in front suddenly became clear. The dense thorns and trees on the high slopes were intertwined together, making it difficult to move forward. This mountainous area is very large, and it is connected to several steep hills behind. Looking around, there is still an indescribable silence and desolation. Some tall trees in the low thorn bushes rose up, blocking most of the toxic sunshine, which made the hungry and thirsty two feel a little more comfortable.
The iron cow cleared out a small area and sat down under a tree with Yang Bo grinning. Yang Bo grinned and touched the wound behind him, couldn't help but raise his head and scream. An unknown bird above his head was frightened and flew away with his wings.
"What's that?" Yang Bo asked, pointing to the low shrubs behind, with a few green fruits bearing fruits. The iron cow looked up for a long time, then looked for a few falling fruits on the ground and put them in his mouth and tasted them.
"It should be pyracantha fruit." Tien Niu quickly spit out the fruit in his mouth. "Pyracantha fruit is also called military rations. Our place is also called water tea. Ah, bah, it's really astringent..."
Yang Bo was very disappointed: "Can you eat it?"
"It's not yet time, it's red after autumn. Now it's bitter and astringent," Tie Niu shook his head, "Why don't you rest here, I'll look for those that can be eaten."
Yang Bo nodded and sat under the shaded tree. Flashes of tiredness came irresistible. He closed his eyes and took a nap. He went to the Cantonese Roast Goose House in his dream. When the iron cow came back, Yang Bo's saliva flowed all over the floor.
The iron cow carries some pulled vines, and there are all kinds of wild fruits on it, but unfortunately most of them are green.
"This is snake grape, and that is called black rice fruit." The iron cow carefully picked a few strings of snake grapes from the vines and handed them over.
Yang Bo didn't care about being polite, and endured the sourness of the wild fruits.
"Sothes, my teeth are almost falling off." Yang Bo muttered a few words while eating. He really wanted to continue to go back to his dream and eat roast goose.
"Eat some random things first, wait until you get in front to see if you can catch some bird eggs, it's fine." Tie Niu smiled at Yang Bo while eating, revealing a bit of black teeth.
"What are you waiting for?" Yang Bo threw away the remaining black rice fruits in his hand. In this case, it would be fine if anyone could give him a big meal and let him give him a promise.
The mountain road ahead became even more rugged. It was like this that it would soon enter the hinterland of the mountain. In Yang Bo's memory, the terrain of Henan was flat, so they may have already walked out of the boundaries of Henan now.
After climbing a few hills, a steep mountain that stretched for dozens of miles was standing in front of them. The only thing that made people feel relieved was that the mountain looked lush and lush with lush vegetation. Later generations liked to watch some programs such as survival on desert islands, and they were not very afraid of entering the dense forest. However, for safety reasons, Iron Niu ordered two short sticks to defend himself.
There are many mountains and ridges here, and there are many more creatures along the way. Birds often fly by around you, which makes the two even more excited. In order to climb over this mountain, the iron cow collected a lot of things such as grass seeds and insects. After making enough preparations, it started to set off. Yang Bo even tasted the famous dish of roasted grasshopper for the first time in his life. It tasted really good!
As they walked three or four miles further, the two suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water?
Yang Bo cheered and threw away the crutches in his hand and ran forward. Where there is water, there is food. This is Bell's famous saying in survival in the wilderness!
The two of them followed the sound of the water for a long time before they realized that they had already reached the foot of the mountain. The scenery in front of them suddenly changed. A tiny waterfall fell from the tall rocks, forming a small pool at the foot of the mountain. The pool was not big. Yang Bo had not had time to look at it carefully, and the iron cow who followed him had already shouted, "There is a stone chicken! Big brother, big brother!"
Yang Bo suddenly burst into laughter...
Anyway, the most difficult time has passed!
The iron cow pounced into the pool. His target was those fat but a little stupid stone chickens. There were some silver fish scales in the rippling waves. The hungry two men took action together and caught a few fat stone frogs and a dozen small fish that were long inches long. They roasted them on the fire with broken branches. Looking at the food that was dripping oil, the two men screamed like they were beating a drum, and they didn't know how many saliva they had swallowed.
After a while, a scent of fragrance came to my face, and the iron cow could not bear it. She grabbed the branches with hot hands and started to chew. Yang Bo was not slow either. Although the stone chicken and the fish were roasted a little black, the two of them almost swallowed their tongues.
The stone chicken is sweet, the little fish is crispy, and the black iron cow is smiling at Yang Bo with a silly smile, while not forgetting to put the greasy fingers in his mouth and pursing it, as if he is still savoring the taste of the meat.
Yang Bo fell to the ground with satisfaction, with some tears flowing in his eyes. The feeling of eating was so beautiful!
------------------------------------------------------------------
The afterglow of the sunset began to emerge in the clouds. Yang Bo felt that it was necessary to find a place to settle down first. What kind of beasts would be there in the mountains at night. At that moment, the two of them cleaned up the bushes around and made a clearing of space.
The sky gradually darkened. Yang Bo and Tie Niu soaked in the pool for a long time. A layer of lice corpses floated on the water surface. Occasionally, a few small fish were choked by black water and floated up with white belly.
Yang Bo hung his torn clothes on the treetops and hung them. The two of them sat naked by the bonfire. "Tie Niu, help me clean up the suppuration area." Yang Bo pointed to the wound behind him and said to Tie Niu that in this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, a little bit of wound infection may have serious consequences.
After the iron cow was cleaned up, Yang Bo found a big fish bone, peeled some bark and kneaded it into silk thread and handed it to the iron cow, "Come on, sew it together!"
"Why would I go and find some herbs?" Tie Niu was obviously hesitant and made him feel a little embarrassed to do this.
"Do it, brother can hold it." Yang Bo shook his head in pain. The wound on his back was a little deep, and it was difficult to heal by himself.
