Origin Chapter 159: In danger
While tending to the fire, Wu Zhongyuan dried his clothes by the way. Since he had been frozen outside for too long, his hands and feet started to itch after he recovered.
Itching can be endured, sleepiness can be endured, but hunger can't be restrained, because I have to look after the fire, I can't sleep, so I just go out hunting.
Aryans have a special ability to find and tame wild beasts. The principle is to adjust their breathing, get rid of distracting thoughts, and let themselves enter a state of no-self similar to the old monk's meditation.
What is "I"? I am the self-recognition of the five senses. When I enter the state of no-self, the five senses will be dormant and stagnant. At this time, the innate sixth sense, which is suppressed by the acquired five senses, will wake up. The intuition is somewhat similar, but it is not completely the same. After awakening, the sixth sense can hear small sounds that were originally inaudible, can see subtle scenes that were not originally seen, and smell faint smells that were originally inaccessible. A living creature that senses the existence of a certain distance around it.
This kind of feeling is a bit like the Taoist saying of the feeling of unity between man and nature. The perceived distance is not fixed, but varies from person to person. The higher the spiritual qi cultivation base, the stronger the human body functions, and the more sensitive the senses.
Finding beasts is easier, taming beasts is relatively difficult. Finding beasts relies on low-level perception, while taming beasts relies on high-level induction. A single radio can receive many different channels. This is finding beasts. If you want to tame the beast, you must adjust your channel to the same channel as the beast you want to tame, so as to sense and influence their emotions.
However, this method is ineffective for people, and the reason is very simple. People's thinking is the most complex and fickle. If you like you one moment, you may hate you the next moment, and there is no trace at all. The animal's emotions are simple and stable, and will not change easily.
If you want to enter the state of no-self, you don't have to close your eyes. When you close your eyes, you will have distracted thoughts. This feeling is like a car coasting in neutral. You don't need to turn off the engine, just take off the gear.
Although it was his first attempt, Wu Zhongyuan didn't feel jerky, because this method Sanhu has been completely transferred to him, including the skills to perform and the issues that need to be paid attention to.
He can't even reach the light red aura now. With his weak sixth sense, the range he can perceive is only a dozen meters. He can only walk slowly while searching for induction.
No matter what you do, you need to pay a price. The same is true for induction search. Using the sixth sense will consume a lot of energy, and it is easy to get tired. Fortunately, he sensed a very obvious living thing before he walked far. Son.
The living creature was in the grass on the right, about ten meters away from him. When he noticed the existence of the living creature, he did not immediately shoot the arrow, but focused on what the living creature was. The most difficult to control, the more deliberate, the more inaccurate, he felt that there should be a rabbit hidden in the grass, but after the shot, it was a mountain mouse.
People have to be good at introspecting and summarizing. The reason for the misjudgment this time is mainly because he mixed subjective assumptions while perceiving. To put it bluntly, in his opinion, there is a high possibility that the rabbit is hiding here. Judgments mixed with subjective assumptions are not objective.
This mountain rat is not small, weighing more than three pounds, but no matter how big it is, it is still a rat. He instinctively repels rats, but he really doesn't have the energy to search anymore, and the campfire can't grow long. Time was left unattended, and in the end, the mountain rat could only be brought back.
After returning, I added wood to the bonfire and tried the young woman's breath again, which was weak but steady. I touched her hand again, it's okay, it's not very cold, if it's cold, it's not optimistic.
Then began to clean up the mountain rat, disemboweled, cut off its head and tail, scrubbed it with the snow outside the cave, and put a stick in it, but this thing is really disgusting. It was not roasted immediately, and was sent to the snow outside the cave to freeze.
After a large amount of blood loss, a small amount of water needs to be replenished, but the patient cannot drink ice water, but hot water. Fire is readily available, and snow is readily available, but there is no container for boiling water. The trunk of the tree, hollowed out in the middle with a dagger that was robbed in the daytime, and put it on the snow and baked it on the fire. This method can also heat the water, but it is impossible to boil it, and the hot water is heated And the smell of wood.
The person who passed out can't swallow. She should be fed little by little. If she is in a hurry, she will choke. After tossing for a long time, she finally fed half a bowl.
It should be three or four o'clock in the morning. Wu Zhongyuan was very tired, physically and mentally exhausted. He couldn't hold it anymore, but he was afraid that the temperature in the cave would drop if he slept in the bonfire and extinguished it, so he took the firewood from the bonfire. It piled up to the place where he was lying, and it was about one meter in length. After the bonfire burned, he would be roasted and woken up.
It didn't take long for him to wake up. At this time, it was bright outside, and snow began to fall in the sky again. After cleaning up the fire, he tried the young woman's breath again. There was no sign of improvement, and her breathing seemed to be weaker. .
After the hot water was boiled, he helped the young woman again and wanted to feed her water. After reaching out, he found that the young woman's back was very cold. Although he had been warming up the cave, he ignored that the young woman was always lying on the ground. on the icy ground.
There was nothing in the cave for her, so in desperation, he could only take off his clothes and lay them on her, but he only had this one suit, and if he laid them on her, he would be frozen and unbearable. I had no choice but to go out to look for branches and hay. The hay was not easy to find. Most of the hay was wet by the snow. I didn't do anything else in the morning, so I was busy drying the grass and making the bed.
Not only a thick grass bed was laid, but also branches were piled up to make a low wall to block the wind. The opening of the cave was too big for the cold wind to blow directly to her.
If you have something to do, you won't be thinking wildly. Although Wu Zhongyuan is busy, he is no longer as empty as yesterday. Even if he is depressed, he must accept the reality. Can't go back either.
The last meal he ate was yesterday's breakfast, and now he's so hungry that his chest is sticking to his back. , you have to go out and turn around.
This time his luck was better, he didn't have to look for it deliberately, he didn't go far and came across a Costin, this guy caught a mountain rabbit and was feasting on the tree.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan approaching, Costin wanted to flutter his wings and fly away, but it gave up its life and money, and insisted on grabbing the unfinished rabbit to run.
Costok wasn't completely dead, and was still fluttering, so Wu Zhongyuan picked up the half of the rabbit first. Eagles have a habit of eating, they like to eat offal first, but not much meat.
After looking at the rabbit, Wu Zhongyuan's eyes shifted to Costin, and at a glance, he found a small bamboo tube tied to Costin's left leg.
Seeing this small bamboo tube, he realized that this Costin was artificially bred to convey messages.
When Haidongqing was dead, he untied the bamboo tube, pulled out the cork, and took out the cloth roll inside. There was no text on the cloth roll, only three red crosses.
He knows most of the things Wu Kuo knows. These three symbols are the secret words of the bear clan. They are calling the masters of Ziqi stationed abroad to go to the capital. The number of crosses represents the degree of urgency. Three crosses are the most , indicating that the situation is the most urgent.
After reading the cloth strip, his first reaction was whether the bear clan's old nest was taken over, but on second thought, this possibility is unlikely. Although the bear clan is now in decline, as the saying goes The rotten boat still has three jins of nails. Whether it is the cattle family or the bird family, it is impossible to destroy the bear family without damage to their own side.
In addition, the bear clan is located in the middle of the two clans, the cattle clan to the west, and the bird clan to the east. And the other party will take the opportunity to send troops to take advantage of the fisherman.
The bear clan is now a character who suffers from left and right, and everyone bullies it, but unless one of the bird clan and the cattle clan has the strength of one-on-two, no one will destroy the bear clan first and let others take advantage of it.
Knowing what was going on, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He went back with Costin and Rabbit. He can't change anything now. He knows it for nothing. He just watches the news every day and cares about national affairs. In the same way, in fact, if you know it, you know it for nothing. Nothing can be changed. National affairs are handled by people in high positions.
I went out and dragged some firewood back by the way. He picked up all the dry firewood nearby. Fortunately, after the fire was burning, the wet wood could also catch up.
The rabbit is skinned and the costo is pulled, but he didn't want to eat it. Instead, he took the mountain mouse out and roasted it.
Baking food on fire will not produce the effect of sizzling oil. Whether it is a rabbit or a mountain mouse, there is not much fat. Roasting it on the fire will easily make the outside dark and **** inside. The correct way is to stay slightly away from the fire. Go a little further and bake slowly, wanting to bake for over an hour.
It doesn't even have salt, how can it be delicious, but it's not too bad to eat. Both mice and rabbits belong to rodents, and the taste is not very different.
After eating the mountain rat, I went out to look for firewood. It takes a lot of firewood to keep the bonfire burning.
Because of the need to maintain the temperature in the cave, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't go too far. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the snow stopped. He took the opportunity to run to the top of the mountain and look east. The mountains were white and there were no villages. shadow.
In the middle of the night, the young woman let out a low *, Wu Zhongyuan got up and went to check, and found that her breath was a lot heavier, but she had a fever.
There is nothing else to do right now but feed her some warm water.
It was the first time in his life that he took care of a person so wholeheartedly. The reason why he wanted to save her was not because she was a woman. He would save her even if the other person was a man. He is kind by nature, or it may just be because he is idle and has nothing to do.
The lack of sleep made Wu Zhongyuan groggy. He didn't know when the young woman woke up. He didn't react until he heard a sound from behind. He got up and walked around behind the wall. up.
Seeing the young woman's brows furrowed, Wu Zhongyuan didn't dare to get too close, "Your wound hasn't healed yet, don't move."
The young woman didn't answer immediately, she just frowned and looked at him. After a long time, she asked coldly, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"You fainted last night," Wu Zhongyuan said.
The young woman appears to be a little anxious, but she doesn't show it clearly.
"Are you thirsty?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
The young woman tilts her head to look at him.
Wu Zhongyuan took the wooden cup holding the water and handed it to her.
The young woman raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, took the wooden cup and smelled it, and took a sip after smelling it.
The other party was so vigilant that Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed, "If I want to hurt you, I have already done it, and I won't wait until now."
The young woman glanced at him and said coldly, "If you really saved me, I will reward you."
"Hehe, I don't want your reward," Wu Zhongyuan laughed dryly, "I'll go get you something to eat."
In all fairness, the other party's reaction made him a little chilly, but a good person has done it to the end, she can't walk now, she has to provide her with food.
Just walking out of the cave to pick up the food buried in the snow, I suddenly found a huge eagle flying fast from the east, at this time it was gathering its wings and falling.
Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly ran back to the cave, "Oops, your enemy is here."
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's cry, the young woman struggled to stand up, but she was so weak that she just stood up and collapsed to the ground.
Wu Zhongyuan grabbed the bow and arrow and ran over, "He's coming down soon, I'll carry you."
The young woman frowned and looked at him suspiciously.
"Hurry up, it will be too late if you don't leave." Wu Zhongyuan urged eagerly.
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, a middle-aged man laughed proudly from outside the cave, "Hahahaha, it's too late."
Wu Zhongyuan turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that a middle-aged man in a purple cape had walked into the cave.
Miaobeard has a victorious attitude of catching turtles in a urn. After coming in, he is not in a hurry to start, but leans close to the fire and reaches for the fire, "It's really cold today."
The young woman smiled coldly and did not answer.
Mustache added, "We overestimated you, and we have been chasing eastwards. I didn't expect you to hide here. We overshot."
The young woman remains unanswered.
Mustache asked with a smile, "Tell me, what did the messenger of the dragon tell you?"
The young woman was looking around to find her dagger at this time, and after seeing that her dagger was placed next to the bonfire by Wu Zhongyuan as a hatchet, she cast a blaming look at him.
"Don't worry, you can think about it slowly." Mustache had a winning look.
Seeing that Moustache didn't intend to act immediately, Wu Zhongyuan guessed that he was waiting for his companion. If another person came, the hope of escape would be even slimmer.
We must act decisively at critical moments. Thinking of this, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly looked out of the cave in astonishment.
Miaobeard was misled by him, and instinctively turned his head to look back. Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to draw four arrows from the quiver and clipped them to his fingertips.
When the mustache reacted, the arrow was already close, the man reacted very quickly, he opened his bow left and right, and the two arrows in front of him flew away, but the other two arrows followed closely, and he had no time to block , had to stand up and retreat.
"Samsung Chasing the Moon!?" the young woman exclaimed.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't care to answer the question, threw away the bow and arrows and sealed the acupoints one after another, performed the wind movement technique, picked up the young woman and rushed out...
