Chapter 157 Juegu
It is indeed a good place with green mountains and clear waters. Throughout the afternoon, Zhang Can and Su Xue were wandering around the bottom of this pit-like valley, but before they could walk, there was a towering tree to the west, and a stream to the southeast, and this water was a hot spring. At the source, there were several bowls of water flowing, and the steam was simmering. From a distance, Su Xue could feel the heat. The water temperature at the source must be more than one hundred degrees, and there was no difference from boiling water. Only after flowing down for a period of time, the temperature gradually dropped. After one kilometer away, it merged with the ice water in the pool and lake, the temperature became a water temperature of 26 or seven degrees. Many fish in the pool swam to the junction with the hot spring water, jumping into the hot water, and seemed to like the water temperature very much.
Those fish were more than two or three pounds, and they didn't recognize any fish. Zhang Can and Su Xue were very happy. If there were fish here, there seemed to be thousands of them. The food problem was solved. Moreover, the water at the source of the hot spring was like boiling water, and it could also cook fish and animals, and it could also be eaten. The air temperature at the bottom of the valley was due to the hot springs and the terrain was also due to the extremely low terrain. In short, the temperature was very comfortable, just like when spring and summer alternated.
This place is indeed a place for living, but no one can come. Look at the snow-capped cliffs on all sides, who would have put a thousand-meter rope to the bottom of this valley after climbing such a cliff?
If you go through another path and come from the undercurrent like Zhang Can, you may not have any of them dared to do it. If you don’t drown, you will freeze to death. I believe that there will be no second one in this world. Even if one more appears, without Zhang Can’s own perspective spiritual energy, it will not be able to absorb the energy in the water-avoiding bead into the body. Zhang Can later obtains a stronger induction and detection ability from the water-avoiding bead energy, which is what you only get after absorbing the energy of the water-avoiding bead into the body. If you just put the water-avoiding bead into the mouth, you will definitely not be able to obtain these abilities. It can be said that it is all coincidence and indispensable.
But another problem arose. In any case, Zhang Can doesn’t want to live in this place for the rest of his life. If he can’t get out here, how can he not miss his parents, brothers, sisters and Liu Xiaoqin!
Only Su Xue didn't care about those things at all. She wandered happily and admired the scenery at the bottom of the valley, which was completely different from Zhang Can's sad face.
You don’t have to worry about the clothes being wet, because it’s not cold, and the thick fur coat is not available at all. Not to mention that it can’t be worn when wet, even if it’s dry, it can make you sweat like rain. How can you bear it?
Zhang Can went to the place where the pool water and the hot spring water intersected, and easily caught a fish. It was very weight in his hand, probably not less than three kilograms. He had no tools at all, but fortunately, there was a dagger on Su Xue's leg, which was the equipment of her army. The military dagger was extremely sharp. Usually, there was at least a dagger and a pistol on her leg. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.
Zhang Can cut off the fish with Su Xue's dagger and washed it clean on the edge of the pond water, but there was no salt, but naturally these things cannot be paid attention to here.
The fish is extremely fat, and it seems that it has no natural enemy. Zhang Can then cut two branches by the forest, penetrated the fish and then scalded the fish into the boiling water at the source of the hot spring until it was ripe. It could not be too hot. This is not a pot. If the boiling layer is too high, the fish will disperse and scattered in the boiling water, but it will not be obtained at all.
Although there is no salt, after eating beef noodle soup for many days, I suddenly ate the fish and fish meat this time. It is indeed delicious. Moreover, the fish has few fine thorns, the meat is tender and smooth, and it tastes very delicious. Especially the half-cooked part is the most delicious.
Maybe it was because of the taste, or maybe it was because of hunger. The two of them ate this fish cleanly, leaving only the fish bones.
Su Xue praised: "This fish is so delicious!" He stopped and said: "There are so many in the lake, we can't finish eating for a lifetime, so we don't have to worry about not having anything to eat!"
Zhang Can immediately said disappointedly: "You can eat for another ten days and a half months!"
How beautiful is this thing with no condiments? It’s just that it’s fresh and the flavorless beef soup they have eaten for several days before, so it’s like this. If you really eat it here for three or two months, you will definitely not feel that it’s so delicious.
After eating the fish, Zhang Can put two big fur coats on the shore beside the hot spring. The temperature in this area is very high. The soaked fur coat was dry after only more than an hour, making it easier to put it on the ground to sleep at night.
In this place, there are no caves and houses, so the weather is fine without rain. If it starts to rain, where can I hide?
Zhang Can didn't have the intention to build a small wooden house or something. At night, he put his fur coat on the green grass by the lake and then lie on it to sleep. Su Xuean lay quietly beside him, snuggling with Zhang Can. Su Xue, who has never been so quiet, did not say a word at night, but just snuggling with Zhang Can quietly.
Zhang Can didn't have the intention to chat and talk to her. He was extremely bored all night. As soon as he shone the next day, Zhang Can got up and caught a fish, cut the fish and took it out until it was half cooked. He ate half by himself and left half for Su Xue.
Su Xue was still sleeping soundly. Seeing her seemingly carefree face, Zhang Can didn't wake her up, picked a wide leaf, wrapped the cooked fish in leaves, and put it next to her.
After thinking about it, Zhang Can held Su Xue's dagger and turned all the way along the edge of the woods. It took almost four hours to walk the entire valley floor. However, when he walked out of the circle and returned to his original position, Zhang Can felt cold!
The valley bottom is a dead land. Although the valley is full of vitality, there is no path to go out. Of course, Zhang Can never thought that there would be a clear road to go out, because he could see clearly with his naked eyes before. There was no road to go out at all. The reason why he walked around the valley bottom was mainly to look for it and see if there were any caves at the bottom of the valley. Some caves were connected to the outside and could go out of the cave, but now he was desperate!
Under these cliffs on all sides, not to mention the cave, there was not even a recess in it. Zhang Can returned to the place where he slept last night in depressed.
Su Xue had already gotten up to wash up. After eating the fish, she saw Zhang Can looking for a way out under the cliff in the distance, but she didn't go to accompany him.
After Zhang Can came back dejectedly, he was stunned for a while. Su Xue pointed to the sky and said, "Zhang Can, it seems to be raining. Have you found any caves by the cliff that can shelter from the rain and wind?"
"No!" Zhang Can answered angrily when he saw Su Xue's expression of asking, and then he felt unhappy. After a while, he knew that there was nothing he could do. Since he couldn't go out, he had to make plans to not go out. He immediately walked towards the woods with a dagger in his face.
This time, Su Xue actually got up and followed him with a smile. Zhang Can went to the woods to cut the branches of trees to build the most temporary thatched hut. If it was really windy and rainy, he had to prepare, otherwise it would be bad for people to catch a cold. In such an environment, if his spiritual ability is not effective, there would be a big problem. It is indeed better to die well than to live. It is always good to be able to live. Only by living can you have the chance to go out again. If you die, even if you have the chance, it will be useless.
Zhang Can urinated on the mountain and chopped firewood and worked. Such things were not difficult for him at all. He was very skilled in doing it. Although Su Xue was better than him, she was obviously far from Zhang Can's opponent in these things. Zhang Can cut the firewood with a dagger, and Su Xue helped him pick it up. Then Zhang Can cut the vines and tied them together, and carried them back to the edge of the pool.
If there were no iron nails or other necessary, Zhang Can used rattan instead. First set up a rack, then used four larger pieces of wood to make a column to dig holes and erect it. One step up and one step up, and covered the roof with many branches horizontally and vertically. Finally, some leaves were spread on it. The above leaves were covered with branches, and tied with rattan, then tied with branches. This was done three times.
Zhang Can went to the shed to look at it again. There was no light coming through. It was probably possible that it could block the attack of rain. After the roof was made, the wall of the house could be made slowly. It took four or five days before Zhang Can made this simple thatched hut of about ten square meters.
Half of the room was used to make a wooden bed. There was no more leaves on the bed, and there was nothing else. There were only two large cotton jackets. Fortunately, the weather was not cold, and both large leather jackets were used to cushions underneath.
The two are not husband and wife, but they live a life like husband and wife. Zhang Can has been busy these days and has no intention of thinking about anything else. After building the hut, he has time to think about other things.
Su Xue has been radiant these days. She knew that Zhang Can was bored, so she didn't touch him. As a result of eating fish every day, Su Xue was indeed a little bored, but there was no way. There was no other food at the bottom of the valley for them to enjoy. There were some birds in the woods, but they could not catch them even if they were flying in the sky.
In order to remember the time, every day, Zhang Can used a dagger to mark a mark on the tree trunk cut by the head of the bed. Until he remembered the five "六" characters, Zhang Can was almost crazy!
At this valley bottom, I can't get out. The only exit may be the underground river in the pool, but Zhang Can doesn't dare to gamble again. If he can't get out, he will really die underground. It is unlikely to go back to the underground cave before. First, I have to go back to the current. It is difficult to take Su Xue with me. Second, even if I return to that place, after so long, Wang Qian, Zheng Dabao and others will never wait there anymore, and I can't get up to the cliff when I go back.
Maybe, I really have to live here forever!
There is snow on the mountain, and you can see stars by chance in the sky. Zhang Can sit on the grass and looks at the stars in the night sky. I wonder how my sister and Liu Xiaoqin in Jincheng are doing? What if they knew that they were dead or missing?
There are also parents and brothers and sisters-in-law in their hometown. If they know this news, they will be even more sad. Zhang Can looked at the starry sky and suddenly felt sad. He couldn't help but cry like rain!
How could it fall into this field?
He stretched out his hand slantedly and gently wiped Zhang Can's tears. Although she had the absolute advantage when she bullied Zhang Can before, she had never seen Zhang Can's weak side!
Su Xue's motherly gentleness made Zhang Can no longer hold back and threw herself into her arms and burst into tears!
Su Xue gently stroked Zhang Can's hair. Although she didn't say anything, she showed her true feelings. She really loved the man she liked. Just because she had someone she liked, she was so fearless. Even in this place that would make people crazy, she didn't feel afraid. She just felt that as long as she was with Zhang Can, she liked him no matter where she was!
