Chapter 15 What to do if the life-saving dinner is lost?
Wei Wei listened carefully and found that there was no sound again, as if he was hallucinating.
It was getting dark. As soon as the sun set, the sky would get dark very quickly. The forest before my eyes was also gradually beginning to darken.
They had too few lights and had to get back to their campsite before it was completely dark.
Zhou Youguan set up the fish cage in a few strokes. Although it looked very rough and would be broken apart by a strong water flow, at least he had made it.
But this fish probably cannot be caught tonight, Zhou Youguan asked them to go ashore and return to the camping point first, because the jungle would become full of dangers if it got too late.
Everyone returned empty-handed again, feeling depressed. Perhaps they were frustrated or too tired, but everyone remained silent.
Only then did Wei Wei listen carefully. There was a dense bush beside the river that had never been set foot on by anyone, and the bushes in this section downstream were even more lush. After a rustling sound, there was no sound, and after a while, it started again.
It felt like something was moving inside.
Wei Wei stared at the bushes with his eyes fixed, his ears moving slightly as the noise was getting closer.
"Brother!" the big monkey suddenly shouted from the other end, "Here are some big white worms."
Because of the sudden shout, the branches and leaves of the bushes suddenly began to shake violently, obviously scared by the shout.
Everyone also heard the noise. The old ghost who had been lying here to rest suddenly grabbed Ahu's arm. The two looked at each other and felt a tacit understanding.
Ahu stood up and walked to the shore, staring sharply into the bushes.
The bushes here are exposed to the sun for a long time and are taller than ordinary bushes. Because the soil is moist all year round due to the irrigation of the river, it grows very densely. If there are any wild animals hiding in it, it is indeed not easy to find them.
Wei Wei slowly took out the dagger from the side of his leg and walked towards there with light steps.
Everyone was so frightened by their sudden alertness that they dared not breathe, but they couldn't help but be curious about what was in the bushes.
Snakes, wolves? Or something else dangerous?
The giant monkey was holding a pile of rotten wood larvae dug out of the soil. This could be considered protein, but why did no one pay attention to him? It was rare for him to find such a good thing.
"Brother, there's food!" the big monkey shouted again.
The things in the bushes were restless just now, and now they were panicking.
In a panic, it couldn't find its direction and after struggling violently, it jumped into the water.
The people who were still in the river were frightened by the black thing that suddenly jumped out and screamed. The river suddenly became chaotic with waves of splashing water.
"Ah! What the hell is that!"
"Don't hit me, help!"
The water was splashing everywhere and it was dark, so everyone was in a panic and could only rush to the shore.
Wei Wei looked closely and found that it was actually a black goat!
Someone was accidentally knocked into the river by the current, choking on the water and screaming. Everyone who came ashore pulled the person in the water and fled in a panic.
"Come up quickly!" Lin Yue climbed up the river bank first and reached out to pull Ruan Mengmeng behind him.
Because Zhang Longtong recommended Ruan Mengmeng first, he himself was kept in the water.
Human screams are the catalyst of fear. Seeing the sheep rushing towards Zhang Longtong and his group, Zhou Youwan hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, don't get hit by it."
Zhang Longtong hurriedly pushed Ruan Mengmeng up, and when he saw the sheep rushing towards him, he was so scared that he floundered in the water.
Wei Wei kicked a stone and hit the sheep on the head, forcing the sheep to turn around and avoid hitting Zhang Longtong directly.
Zhang Longtong was so scared that his legs went limp, and Ruan Mengmeng and the others pulled him ashore in time.
Wei Wei retracted the dagger, quickly took off the bow and arrow slung across his body, and pulled out an arrow from the bamboo tube behind him.
A Hu was also eyeing the same sheep as him. Wei Wei looked up at A Hu, and both of them had the determination to win in their eyes.
Zhou Youxuan took out a machete and prepared to chase the goat.
The goat ran around in the river for a few laps before it found the direction of the bushes where it had fallen. Seeing that it was about to run back, Ahu quickly jumped into the river.
Niu Xixi just struggled to get up, still screaming in fear: "Ahhhh help me what——"
A Hu thought Niu Xixi was blocking the way, so he used his strength to step on him. Niu Xixi had just gotten up when he was kicked back, stifling his scream.
Li Xiaohuan shouted anxiously, "We can't let it run back. Once it gets into the bushes, it will be hard to catch it."
This is their life-saving dinner.
Ahu quickly followed the sheep out of the water and into the bushes. Wei Wei stared at the movements of the bushes, said to Zhou Youguan, "Wait and don't move," and ran into the woods.
"Wei Wei!" Zhou Youlan shouted.
It was almost dark, and it would be very dangerous to enter the woods, but Wei Wei was very fast and he jumped into the woods and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was shocked and had no time to stop it.
"No," the big monkey looked at the others, "Did Wei Wei just chase him in like that?"
"I'm really impressed." Li Xiaohuan complained, "Didn't I tell you not to let it go into the bushes? Why not just stop it? Wei Wei is so stupid."
Zhang Longtong's mouth twitched speechlessly, "Then why didn't you stop them? Weren't you the one who climbed out of the water the fastest?"
Others would at least lend a hand to help pull people over, but Li Xiaohuan just stood on the shore, wanting to catch the sheep but not daring to step forward, and could only open his mouth to give orders.
"How can I stop them from so far away? Wei Wei is right next to the bushes, he's the closest. If he listens and blocks the sheep's escape direction, the sheep will move slower in the water. How can we, with so many people, not catch a sheep?"
Li Xiaohuan was still complaining: "What is he going to do now? The sheep have entered the forest and it's so dark, who can catch them? He might as well stay and think of other ways. He's just pretending to be so active, just like others are lazy."
"How can you say that? Brother Wei wants to try his best, doesn't he?" Zhang Longtong said angrily, "That's better than just complaining about others and shirking responsibility like an idiot."
"What do you mean!"
"That's enough!" Zhou Youguan shouted in a deep voice. They always blamed each other and shirked responsibility when encountering any problems. "Big Monkey Ke Feiyang, stay here and watch over everyone. Don't move around. I'll go in and find Wei Wei."
The big monkey hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, it's dark, it's not safe to go in."
Zhou Youxuan ignored him and ran in the direction of Wei Wei. The big monkey followed him while calling Zhou Youxuan.
Ke Feiyang quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother Zhou said not to wander around. What if we get separated?"
"What if he goes in and can't find the way out?"
The big monkey shook him off and ran inside. Ke Feiyang was worried and had to follow it in.
The others followed the group and ran in, but they could no longer see Wei Wei and Zhou Youguan after running a short distance.
Li Xiaohuan and Kang Xiang hurriedly stopped and dared not move forward.
They all have some experience in surviving in the wild. There are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants in this kind of bush. It would be fine if they encountered non-venomous ones, but if they encountered poisonous ones, it would be difficult for them to even save themselves.
The important thing is that it is dark now and there is no lighting. If they go forward, they will get lost and without a campfire at night they will suffer from hypothermia.
Kang Xiang stopped the people following behind and said, "No, we can't go any further. We have no idea which direction they are going."
"We can't chase it anymore. We don't have any guidance and will get lost. It's not worth losing our lives for a sheep," Li Xiaohuan also said.
Ke Feiyang had no choice but to stop. He grabbed the big monkey and said, "Wait a minute, maybe Brother Zhou and the others will come out if they can't catch up. They shouldn't go too deep."
The big monkey was anxious but there was nothing he could do. If someone fell behind after they went in, it would be very dangerous to be alone.
Wei Wei kept running in the direction of the swaying branches, and A Hu also caught up with him.
The two men were running almost side by side. Seeing that he couldn't shake him off, Ah Hu chopped off a branch and threw the sharp slanted end straight at Wei Wei.
It was obvious that he didn't want to cooperate and just wanted to take it all for himself.
