Chapter 79

After a while, when Li Chen and Tan Jixia came to the mountain depression in the middle of the southwest, that is, the entrance to the island, they vaguely found that there seemed to be a small ancient road here, but it was covered by firewood and grass on both sides. And rattan thorns were crowded with something and covered it up.

When Li Chen used the branch in hand to push away the firewood and thorns on both sides, and when the small ancient road was faintly exposed, Tan Jixia was secretly shocked——

Then she couldn't help but turned her head to look at her Captain Li Chen in admiration...

Because according to his deduction, it is said that someone should have come to this island, or lived there?
Now this small ancient road buried under firewood and thorns seems to have confirmed this point.

But at this moment, Li Chen thought of the stranded fishing boat that he found in the West Bay the day before yesterday...

The people on the fishing boat should have landed on the island?

Just judging from the years when the fishing boat ran aground, are the people on the fishing boat still on this island?Or is it dead?This seems to be a mystery for the time being?
But Tan Jixia vaguely understood what a pulse is.

When Captain Li Chen talked to her before, she was really confused.

Afterwards, Li Chen cautiously smashed the surrounding firewood and thorns for a while with the branch in hand...

Seeing nothing unusual, he turned around and handed the branch to Tan Jixia, and then said: "Hold it for me first, and I will use a hatchet to cut off the firewood on both sides and thorns, and see if there is a small tree under it. Ancient way?"

"En." Tan Jixia responded, and took the branch.

Immediately, Li Chen warned again: "Remember, keep your eyes sharp. Keep an eye on it."

"Yes. Understood." Tan Jixia nodded hurriedly.

Because she also understands, who knows what kind of big beasts will appear in these deserted islands and wild mountains at any time?

Next, Li Chen took down the hatchet from his waist, and began to swing the knife continuously...

Tan Jixia was behind him, rolling her eyes, not letting go of any suspicious places.

Soon, when Li Chen was more than two meters long, he cleaned up the thorns of firewood and vines on both sides. Now he can see at a glance that there is a small ancient road under his feet...

As for the width, it looks about one meter wide.

You can think about it, the small sidewalks in the city are probably that wide.

Li Chen was suddenly overjoyed, and asked, "How is it? I guessed right?"

Tan Jixia was still a little dazed, and it took her a while before she seemed to come to her senses...

Immediately, she asked: "Then...then there are really people living in secluded places on this island, right?"

Li Chen frowned: "That's hard to say? But looking at this road... no one should have walked it for at least 10 years? Otherwise... it wouldn't be so densely thorned by firewood and vines."

Suddenly, Tan Jixia frowned and said, "Then... don't we want to clean up the road?"

This also gave Li Chen a headache...

But if you want to enter the island, you have to clean it up.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to go back and forth in and out of the island.

Tan Jixia suddenly backed off and said, "Why don't we just forget about it? I think...it's good for us to stay at the beach. Besides, what if the rescue team arrives tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

To be honest, after hearing this, Li Chen also wanted to give up a little bit.

But take a look at this small ancient road that he is stepping on now... He was curious, and he still wanted to go into the island to find out.

Besides, it seems a bit inappropriate to back off just now at the entrance of the Meridian Road?
So, Li Chen frowned again and thought about it, what kind of method should it be?
Burn it?
But the stupid thing is that there is no match now, so I have to perform a live show of drilling wood to make fire...

However, there is an advantage to using fire to disperse potentially dangerous animals around and on both sides of the ancient road.

These beasts in the mountains are very shrewd, and they will not approach this area for at least half a month.

Thinking about it, Li Chen had no choice but to turn his head back and forth to look at the mountains on both sides...

Finally, he decided: "Let's go. Go to the mountains to get firewood. Get dry firewood and spread it all the way, and burn it all the way."

"But... there are no matches now." Tan Jixia hurriedly said.

Li Chen said: "Didn't I perform the drill for you that day?"

But Tan Jixia said again: "Do I have to enter this island?"

After Li Chen frowned, he said, "Aren't you curious about this little ancient road?"

Tan Jixia frowned, thought about it carefully, and then replied honestly: "A little bit. A little curious."

So, Li Chen said: "Then don't talk nonsense. Go get firewood with me."

Then, the two of them ran to the mountain on the right to get firewood.

The two went back and forth, holding dry firewood and branches, and after paving a few meters along the road, Li Chen said: "Okay, you continue to get firewood, I will first find a way to make a fire."

"Success!" Tan Jixia nodded hurriedly.

After getting a dry log lump and a dry branch in the mountain on the side, another staged a fire by drilling wood...

After a while, when the fire was burning, sure enough, there were constant noises from the bushes on both sides of the ancient road, and some unknown little guys began to escape from this area.

It's just that Tan Jixia, who was getting firewood in the mountain on the right, suddenly let out an exclamation of 'ah'...

"Captain Li Chen, hurry up, I was bitten by a snake!"

"Ah!?" Li Chen was taken aback in panic.

Afterwards, he had no choice but to turn around and burrow into the mountain on the right...

But fortunately, it was safe and sound.

A small cyan snake bit the cloth strip tied to Tan Jixia's left leg with one bite, and it was not serious.

It's just that she is a woman after all, and it's normal for her to be frightened by the snake's fierce bite.

Li Chen stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the snake's seven-inch position, then squeezed the snake's cheeks vigorously, and finally let go.

"It's okay." Li Chen said now, "It's just biting on the cloth strip."

Hearing Li Chen speak so easily, Tan Jixia was relieved.

When she regained her composure, the two continued to dry the firewood and branches, hugging back and forth down the mountain, burning along the fire, and spreading it all the way...

The thorns of firewood and vines covering the ancient road must have been shriveled by the fire, and most of them have been scorched and blackened.

Gradually, a small ancient road gradually became clear.

Tired from busy work, Li Chen took advantage of the opportunity to light a cigarette and prepared to rest for a while.

Tan Jixia watched, then handed him a bottle of water.

The momentary casual scene made Li Chen feel a little inexplicably moved, feeling that this little girl really knows how to love others.

But then, Tan Jixia asked curiously again: "You said... how did this small ancient road... come from?"
