Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

After entering the forest, Su Bujing and others saw that the ground was full of uneven holes.

These holes are neither deep nor big, and cannot be compared with the Tiandong in Fuzhou. However, if people accidentally step in, they will be tripped to the ground, which is very annoying and troublesome.

Moreover, there are so many trees here that the carriage cannot move normally.

In desperation, Zhao had to put the carriage into the space, and the family was forced to walk on foot.

They formed a circle. Su Bugui led the horse that could not fit into the space and landed at the back of the circle. The others scattered on both sides. Su Bujing stood in the circle holding a torch to light up. Not to mention the distance, at least the distance between his feet and The road nearby can be seen clearly.

Every few steps, the complicated branches would catch the Su family's clothes, and if they were pulled hard, they would make a hole in the clothes. The gray-white leaves would even hit everyone's faces, making it particularly cramped.

They had no choice but to use their arms to tear away the branches blocking the road, shut their mouths tightly, and at the same time protect the torches from being extinguished by the leaves, and try to walk straight ahead, hoping to reach the end as soon as possible.

After walking for a long time, the road gradually opened up.

"Huh! I finally came out. I didn't dare to breathe in the forest just now!" Su Buwei immediately started complaining as soon as he stepped out of the forest path with dense branches.

Su Bujing replied: "Second brother is too happy! I see there are still many dead trees ahead, but not as many as before. We should still be in the forest and haven't gone out."

"Oh, how big is this forest! It's so depressing to be in there, I feel like I can't breathe." Mrs. Zhao covered her chest in discomfort.

Su Yuanshan looked at the dark road ahead and suggested: "How about we rest where we are? It happens to be empty here. If we go forward, I don't know if it will be as cramped as before."

Su Yuanshan's proposal was approved by the whole family. They were not particular about it. They sat on the rough and hard ground, simply made a fire, and then set up a pot to boil water to drink.

Su Buying remembered the strange food he had encountered along the way, and was immediately curious about the gray leaves that could be seen everywhere. He picked a piece and put it in his mouth.

The leaf surface seems to be coated with coptis water. It is bitter and astringent in the mouth. It is dry and tasteless when chewed. There is no juice at all. If you hold it in your mouth for a long time, you will feel slightly dizzy.

Su Bujing frowned, spit it out, and took a sip of the ice water in the pot that had not yet melted to dilute the taste in his mouth.

"You can't eat these leaves." Su Bujing reminded her, fearing that her family would taste it out of curiosity like her.

Even if you can't kill such an unpalatable leaf, no one will pick it and eat it!
After the water in the pot boiled, Mrs. Zhao added some honey to it and let everyone, including Ma, drink a cup of warm sweet water.

After their physical strength recovered, they set off towards the front again.

The forest road ahead was still full of dead trees, but it was much easier to walk than when we first came in. At least there were many smooth paths.

Su Bujing and others walked for a long time, but still did not reach the edge of the forest. Instead, they had the illusion that they would never reach the end.

"Okay, we have been walking for a long time, and we need to find a place to rest, otherwise it will be too much for everyone." Su Yuanshan noticed that the legs of the family members were trembling a little.

Moreover, everyone's mental state has also deteriorated due to rushing on the road, and it is time to take a proper rest.

Since you have decided to rest, you have to find a spacious and flat place, otherwise it will be full of potholes and make it uncomfortable for everyone to sit.

Su Bujing looked around, looking for a suitable place to rest.

The environment they were in now had five forks in front of them, and towering dead trees on both sides. The gray tree trunks were like stone pillars, giving people the feeling of being in a palace or temple.

"Dad, let's go further and take a look. This place is really not suitable for resting. There are too many grasses and there are many holes in the ground." Su Bujing said seriously after observing.Su Buyi echoed: "That's right, at least find a dead tree that can block the wind!"

Su Yuanshan nodded first, then looked at the five paths ahead, and sighed sadly: "It's possible to walk, but which way should we take?"

After hearing Su Yuanshan's words, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and stare at the five forked roads in front of them again.

The five roads are not narrow, and each road can allow three adult burly men to pass side by side.Standing there and looking deep into the path, you could faintly see the dusty flash inside.

The light is emitted by the leaves. Although the light emitted by one leaf is very weak, if there are many leaves, they can still provide a certain lighting effect if they are piled together.

"I told you before we came here that no matter what, we must keep walking straight forward. Let's take the middle road."

As Su Buwei spoke, he stared straight at the path in the middle.

Because this is the only road that goes straight forward.

"Okay, let's go like this. As long as we keep walking in one direction, we will definitely reach the end!" Su Yuanshan stopped worrying about the other four roads and decisively took the whole family to the middle path.

After walking along this road for about half the time it took for the torches to burn out, Su Bujing and others finally found a very suitable place to rest.

I saw two dead trees on the left side of the road that were as thick as two people could hug each other. The dense branches and leaves on them were intertwined with each other, arching an arc similar to a semicircle. The leaves were overlapping and shrouded, just enough to block the wind. rain.

Su Bu only tied the horse he was holding to a dead tree to prevent it from running around. Zhao quickly spread two layers of warm blankets between the two dead trees to isolate the cold air on the ground. Yi and Su Bujing made a fire and heated water for cooking.

Su Yuanshan was alone near the station to investigate the situation.

This forest is on the only way to Baozhou, and no one can go around it. There must be other refugees going to Baozhou, and maybe they will meet them in the next moment.

However, it is not a good thing to meet other people when you are hungry, cold and have little food, so Su Yuanshan wants to come out to check if there is anyone around.

Everyone had a simple meal, each wrapped in a blanket and lay on the ground to rest.

That night, the Su family had a restless sleep. They were either woken up by the rustling leaves, or their faces were hurt by the howling cold wind.

When they finally fell asleep, the ice fell suddenly while they were half asleep and half awake.

Ice cubes as big as fists fell from the sky and plopped on the dead trees, waking up the Su family again.

If the place they chose to station had not been buffered by leaves, they would have been hit badly by the hard ice.

"Really! Can you let me have a good sleep?" Su Buwei caught a piece of ice that fell from the gap in the leaves and said complainingly.

With a wave of her right hand, Zhao took out the carriage that she had put into the space before and placed it between two trees.

"Hey, let's just rest in the carriage for a while!"

Before, she didn't let everyone rest in the carriage, but slept in the open air. She was worried that outsiders would break in during the break and snatch their goodies with envy.

Now that I think about it, her worries are unfounded. With their equipment and strength, if someone really wants to provoke someone regardless of life and death, they will be directly disabled!
