The two climbed over three high mountains, crossed two streams, and passed through three deep valleys. They moved carefully along the cliffs from time to time. Once, when they passed a group of snoring leopards, they still noticed it even though they were hiding flawlessly. The hunter hurriedly scraped off a pile of yellow feces on his body with his hands and smeared Yi Fan's head and face with it, thus avoiding the disaster. Yi Fan almost fainted from the stench, but he also understood the hunter's intention.
He was attracted by various animal groups, dangerous places, strange sights, and various kinds of exotic flowers along the way, and was secretly amazed. He had just gone through this battle, and although he had many scars on his body, they were all insignificant skin injuries. He was mainly tired and weak, but he didn't care about it at the moment. He pointed to some flowers, plants and trees and asked the hunter to tell him the names. He relied on his memory to memorize these pronunciations and the corresponding things. To survive here, he had to at least know the language here.
Yi Fan was famous for his strong memory in the whole class when he was in school, and now he can use it.
This time he walked straight for most of the day, rested twice in the middle, and it was sunset when he got home. Yi Fan looked up and saw three short huts built side by side under the cliff, leaning against the cliff. They looked shabby and I was afraid that they would be blown down by a sneeze. The thatch on the roof was full of holes, and the board walls were full of wind. It was really unstoppable.
A gust of wind blew, and the wooden house creaked and swayed as if it was about to fall down. Yi Fan originally thought that the hunter was a person from a small mountain village, but he didn't expect that he lived alone in the mountains. He didn't know how long he had lived alone, and his house was so dilapidated. Although he had not been with the hunter for a long time, he felt that this person was simple and simple and very cute. He thought that he had lived in the mountains for a long time and was not polluted by worldly troubles. But now seeing such a bleak life, he couldn't help but feel sad and sad for him.
The hunter didn't care at all and pulled Yi Fan to open the door and go into the house. There was no lock on the door. In fact, there was no use for a lock. First, the door could be broken with just one kick. Second, there were almost no people coming into the deep mountains. Third, even if someone came, there were two-finger-wide cracks everywhere on the board wall. Looking inside, you would know that there was nothing and no one would go in. Fourth, how dare you hang the lock outside? What if it was stolen?
As soon as he entered the door, Yi Fan looked up. Although it was a small and cramped room, there was nothing in it. It still looked empty. There was only a pile of animal skins spread in the corner, which was obviously the hunter's bed. There was nothing else. Yi Fan didn't even have a place to sit, so he had to turn around and leave. He came out and looked into the room on the left, which was full of dry firewood. He thought, "It's cold, he needs these firewood to keep warm." He looked into the room on the right, and saw two pots and basins made of clay, one small and the other large, filled with some clear water. He thought, "This is his drinking water." At this time, the sun was setting, and the cliff blocked the sunlight. It was darker here than elsewhere, just like night. The hunter handed the dry food in the bag to Yi Fan, and kept gesturing for him to eat it.
Yi Fan was already hungry at this time, but seeing that there were only a few buns, it was not enough for one person to eat. If he ate them, the other party would definitely be hungry. Today, because he did not catch any edible prey, he was moved and ashamed. He thought: "I don't know what happened to this person, but he has fallen to this point, alone and helpless. Now he is young and can still make ends meet, but if he gets old and can't even find food in this deserted old forest, what will he do?" For a moment, he thought of himself falling into this strange world, and being helpless from now on, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
He was grateful and sympathetic, and thought: "Do I have to be like him, living in this deep mountain, growing old with all the trees, and wasting my life. No, with my more than ten years of knowledge, I can be considered outstanding in this alien world. I must go to the mortal world and do something so that we can live a glorious life."
While studying, he couldn't help but think: "There is no road in this mountain, and I don't see any hunters looking for any signs or identifying any directions. They just run around without any doubt, as if they are as familiar with their own backyard. I'm afraid they have lived here for many years?"
The hunter was also very depressed: "Although I have lived here for many years, I always get lost every time I walk here. This time I have been around here three times. But this forest is like a maze. What can I do?"
On the way, Yi Fan asked him about the situation in this world, and it took a lot of effort to make him understand. The hunter said a lot, but Yi Fan didn't understand. He only knew that he had lived in this deep mountain forest for many years. It would take more than 20 days to go to the mortal world.
While bathing, Yi Fan gestured to ask the hunter's name. Hearing how he pronounced it, he secretly said, "I'd better call you Robinson. But he has the same fate as you, but he has enough food and drink, and he is much happier than you." Yi Fan told Robinson his name again.
After Yi Fan finished bathing, Robinson went to the nearby river to get water again, boiled it, and bathed himself. While Robinson was bathing, Yi Fan shook the animal skin in the corner and spread it out, thinking, "We will make do with it tonight. Tomorrow we will see if we can kill some animals and peel some fur to make beds. As for food, we will share it tonight and make do." He took two of the four pieces of cake and left two for the other party.
He spread the animal skin against the wall and lay on it, leaving half of the space for the other party, next to him. After eating the cake, he fell asleep soon. He felt someone shaking him in a daze. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Robinson. Yi Fan turned his head and looked outside with sleepy eyes. It was already dark. He asked in a daze: "Why don't you sleep? What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Robinson said nothing and kept pulling him.
After the hunter handed the dry food to Yi Fan, he filled the small basin with water and put it on the simple stove to boil water. When the water boiled, it was already dark. Yi Fan was thirsty, so he found a broken bowl in the house, washed it by the river, and scooped some boiled water to drink. When the hunter saw this, he showed a strange smile on his face. Yi Fan was puzzled.
The hunter poured the boiling water from the earthenware jar into the large basin. There was a lot of cold water in the basin originally. After mixing it, it became mostly warm water. He pulled Yi Fan to his side and demonstrated it several times. Yi Fan understood that she wanted him to take a bath. He thought to himself, "This person is quite clean." Then he thought again, "He is covered in feces and urine. Shouldn't he take a bath?" He took off his clothes and washed them carefully. After a day of shock and fatigue, it was really comfortable to soak in hot water at night.
Then, this enthusiastic hostess was busy and brought Yi Fan: pickled meat, fruits, dates, chestnuts, walnuts, raisins... and even bread-like bread. After that, she actually cooked a bowl of thick broth for Yi Fan, which contained: wild vegetables, fungus, mushrooms, wolfberries, bird eggs... and vermicelli made from an unknown crop, which was refreshing and chewy.
Yi Fan had a delicious meal, sweating all over, and felt refreshed. He had never had such a comfortable dinner in his life. He was standing in a square hall that was carved out of a square. The floor, ceiling, and walls were all covered with a layer of golden fur from unknown animals, just like wallpaper. Four oil lamps were evenly distributed halfway up each wall, and there were a total of sixteen lamps on the four walls. Together with the huge torch in the middle, the entire space was illuminated with golden splendor. There were three doors on the other three walls, indicating that there was space behind them.
In addition, there were ivory hooks, amber pendants, rough bows, and ingenious animal bone hangers on the wall... and so on. There were countless furniture, all made of various rare things such as animal bones, fur, and natural crystals. Each piece was a work of art with great beauty.
In the middle of the hall was a large mahogany bed, with a snow-white fur quilt on it. It was made of some unknown animal's skin, and it looked extremely luxurious and wealthy. On the bed was a beautiful woman, wearing a dress cut from silver fox fur, revealing her snow-white thighs, which was very tempting. Next to her were two boys and girls about five years old, very cute, with the most beautiful eyes, black and bright. In front of the three of them were several small toys made of animal bones, which were obviously the result of the woman playing with the two children before Yi Fan came.
At this moment, they were looking at Yi Fan in surprise, and it was obvious that they couldn't understand why a stranger would come here.
Yi Fan was also extremely shocked, and obviously didn't expect that there would be such a magnificent scene inside.
At this time, Robinson also crawled in. When the woman saw Robinson, she showed joy on her face and said something to him. Yi Fan didn't understand what it was. But Robinson told her with gestures and pointed at Yi Fan from time to time. The woman looked at Yi Fan, and the smile on her face became more and more intense.
The two children, probably because they rarely see the sun, have white and smooth skin, and they are dressed up like porcelain dolls. At this moment, they are opening their big curious eyes, and their dark eyes are unwilling to move away from Yi Fan for a moment, which makes Yi Fan laugh secretly. These two children must have never seen humans other than their parents, so they have such expressions.
Yi Fan had no choice but to get up. Robinson removed the animal skins on the ground and moved a large wooden board against the wall, revealing a hole in the wall (the house was built against the mountain, and this wall was actually a cliff). Yi Fan thought: "Ah! So he hid the food here, how smart."
But Robinson gestured to Yi Fan to get in. Yi Fan was very surprised, but he went in as he was told. Robinson followed behind him and pulled back the wooden board to block the hole. As soon as Yi Fan entered, he saw a faint bright light deep in the cave. He quickly climbed in and suddenly came to a huge cave. When he saw the things inside clearly, he was stunned.
The dessert after the meal was a bowl of milk produced by an unknown animal. It was fragrant and mellow. Yi Fan was so greedy that he even swallowed his tongue.
After the meal, it was late at night. The two children went to bed early on the big bed in the living room. Yi Fan was assigned to the room at the south end, and Robinson and his wife slept in the room opposite him.
When he was in the hut just now, Yi Fan felt that the weather was very cold, but when he entered the cave, he felt a burst of warmth. Although it was sheltered from the wind, the difference should not be so great. At that time, he could not ask them. Now that he entered the single room, he first sighed that it was beautiful. He immediately looked for the reason and found that a water pipe extended from the living room and led to a large pottery jar. He opened the lid and saw that hot steam rose up immediately. It turned out that there was a heater here.
He thought to himself: "This is a three-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen and one-bathroom house, much better than what I lived before. I sympathize with Robinson, but I didn't expect that his life was much better than mine, with a beautiful woman in a golden house, when can I reach such a state."
He lay down on the big bed, and couldn't help sighing: "This bed is so soft!" Then he fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep lasted until noon the next day, when Yi Fan woke up. He went out of the cave and saw that the sun was high. He couldn't help blushing and thought to himself: "This is ridiculous, I just woke up now."
After he moved for a while, Robinson came out from the forest in front, carrying a bundle of dead branches he had picked up. Yi Fan helped to take it to the firewood room next to him, and by the way, he stacked the firewood neatly. After the two of them were done, the woman had prepared the meal.
After the meal, Robinson put on the dirty animal clothes he had taken off yesterday in the hut, took the big bow, quiver, hunting knife, dry food and went hunting. Yi Fan was overjoyed. He also found a dirty animal skin outside, put it on and followed behind.
