31. Anecdote about the valley (I)


The caravan had been moving along this winding mountain road, and I could feel the terrain around me constantly increasing, and I didn't dare to look at the bottomless mountain stream beside the mountain road, which was so high that it made people feel a sense of suffocating panic.But I could effortlessly look down at the summit of the Wondercolt on the other side of the valley.These gentle slopes, which are close to the flat road, can really wear down anyone's patience.In the vast journey, there is always an endless road in front of you, there is no fork in the road, and there are no people.The surrounding mountains are finally starting to get naked.

A large amount of limestone has been exposed, and even the tenacious moss-like weeds that can cling to the rock surface have become scarce, and the wild goats that could still be seen have also disappeared here.It had been nine days since we entered the mountains at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau, and it was not a pleasant feeling for me, who did not know where the end would be, because the more I looked forward to it, the more I had hope, and the more painful the wait became.For the people in the caravan, it's life on the back of the Thunder Rhino, and for me, it's my life.Every day I will be bored lying on the back of the thunder rhinoceros holding a roll of parchment paper and bury my head in hard reading, this is also the best means I use to pass the time, originally just can speak orc I after such a long period of training and learning, see these beasts no longer need the old Kuru's explanation, from the original even guess with the understanding of the above meaning, now you can read and recite freely, sometimes when I encounter the travelogue codex, I will also take out some wonderful paragraphs in orc language and Kuzi to share, although this child does not like to read, but I'm still very interested in stories like adventure diaries.Each huge thunder rhinoceros will be only four or five meters wide mountain road is full, now are crowded on this mountain road, every morning the most headache is actually to go to the toilet, adults are to walk to the edge of the cliff, stand still and untie the trouser belt directly into the mountain stream, they can even easily whistle to do this, but I don't dare, as long as I stand on the edge of the cliff two legs will be soft like noodles, I had to find a crack to be discarded clay pot, Secretly hiding behind the Thunder Rhino to solve personal problems is actually not necessary for a small child, but I have been trying my best to maintain my ridiculous dignity.The distance between me and Sister Guoguo is the distance of sixty-seven thunder rhinos, which is a barrier that none of us can surpass.It's a little more than a kilometre here, and we sometimes have to stand on high ground and wave to each other's safety.Listening to Uncle Fred, all the members of the adventure group will be divided into several groups, take turns to explore the way ahead, Sister Guoguo is no exception, she every time before and after returning to say hello to me from a distance, signaling that she is safe, but also want to see if I am okay, such a strong feeling in these days and nights continue to warm my heart, I think this is more like the kind of family affection, and she is like my sister.Uncle Fred said that it was a kind of psychological dependence, and that orphans would crave this kind of affection, and that this kind of affection was exactly what old Kuru could not give me.It's not so much my sister, it's more like my lack of maternal love, this old Liumao even laughed at me for not having eaten milk since I was a child, so I hugged people's thighs and cried so shamelessly.I stood up angrily, glared at him, and said hysterically, "Tomorrow I will go and tell Singh not to stick you upside down again, half-old man whose loess is about to be buried in his chest."

Fred stood up angrily and raised his bear paw to slap me, but Kuzi jumped to my side and clenched his fists and stared at Fred fiercely, his hideous face showed a fierce murderous aura, and the wolf teeth that came out were like a silent warning.Every such war of words is the spice of travel, and I know that even if Kurtz doesn't stop Uncle Fred, he won't beat me, but every man has his own dignity, like his own scales, and he is angry when he touches it.Walking on the mountain road on the cliff of this silent and lonely and desperate stone valley, you can always see the mountain stream at the bottom of the valley from time to time, which will involuntarily give rise to countless fears, irritability, anxiety, nervousness, frustration and other emotions in the bottom of your heart.I finally learned the girl's name, or rather the name I gave her, on the third day after that encounter with the Smoked Rabbit's Head: Little Chainiu, because I thought she was thin.But later I found out that her white lotus-like arms were white and round, and they were still very fleshy.Even if I stood on tiptoe, the top of my head was only level with her slightly bulging breasts, and her slender figure was a little too tall at this age, which would make me mistake her for thin.She rarely spoke, and sometimes she was more like a quiet cat, and when there were people she would crouch in the most inconspicuous corners, which was the thing that surprised me the most, as if everyone seemed to ignore her deliberately, when she was air, no one ever felt her presence.She's also a gluttonous cat, and only appears silently the next morning when Kuz is a treasure, her overly seductive eyes staring at food, and sometimes sticking out her red tongue to lick the dripping grease.Later, I finally learned that she was a greedy cat, and not because she was hungry that she would run out and steal something to eat.Because not every morning, we can have delicious food, as we enter this canyon deeper and deeper, it becomes more and more difficult to eat animals, and the number of times Xiao Chai Niu comes over is also less and less.The other day I had complained to her that the caravan never gave us white bread and wheat cakes, and then I told her how delicious the wheat baked pasta was.Every morning after that, I suddenly noticed two more baked brown wheat cakes on the side of my pillow, and sometimes maybe two bowls of white bread, one for me and the other for Kuz's hush money.There is no secret between me and Kuz, he is my brother, I cut the white bread into thin slices, spread the sour date sauce and bacon and tomato slices to make a delicious sandwich, and it tasted delicious, it was the first time that Kuzi ate vegetables with such relish.The people in the caravan will not wonder why the two of us brothers can get all kinds of delicious food, because in private, there will still be people who take out their treasures and exchange them for some secret dishes of the orc tribe that they think are more delicious, and the fist-sized tomato is what Kuz bought in exchange for half a smoked fish, although Kuz doesn't know what nutritional balance is, but he cares about what I say.Xiao Shiba never seems to appear when Old Kuru is there, and will always deliberately avoid Old Kuru, even if I have tempting food on my side, I can't help it.It's just that every moment when old Kuru leaves, she suddenly appears and takes her share of the bacon and tomato sandwich, and I was thinking that it would be better if it was some cheese.I always thought she was a maid or a slave to one of the girls in the troupe, so I always tried to cover her up, lest she be whipped if she was discovered.Kurtz thinks that I, like Uncle Fred, have found a good match in the company, and he despises it.Squatting beside me, he hooked my shoulders and complained to me, "You human beings are so emotional, Jia, you know how to raise women at such a young age?"

”I sat back in the leather seat on the back hips of the Thunder Rhino and tossed the last sandwich into my mouth, and I smiled and didn't say anything.In fact, what I want to say is that if I find someone like me, I will feel close to her, and I want to help her within my ability, so that I will not be lonely.At the end of the day, I was still afraid of being alone, as if I knew that we were going to be separated from Kuz when we arrived at the Gurudin tribe, and I felt like I was abandoned, and I thought that I would have to wander like rootless duckweed, and I wanted to shiver and hide in the corner.I will become extremely dependent on a female magician who is willing to take me in.So there will also be a sense of sympathy for Xiao Shiniu, she may be a little maid struggling to survive in the dance troupe, and I am an unidentified wanderer in this caravan.Thankfully, she seems to be doing well, at least she can eat fragrant white bread every day, and I'm fine, I have some people around me who are willing to take care of me, and my brother Kuz.There is a lack of everything here, the daily feed of the Thunder Rhinoceros is not added to the grain, now only black beans and hay are used to maintain, if it continues like this, the Thunder Rhinoceros will lose fat, in order to prevent the Thunder Rhinoceros from losing fat, I and Kutz, Uncle Fred and a few people will take advantage of the evening before dark, scrape the moss in the cracks of the cliff rocks on the side of the mountain road, and we can make do with most of the buckets at night.

Sometimes, two groups of people would even quarrel over a crack in a rock in a moss-producing area.Drinking water is also very scarce, every day Sensei said that he can wash his face, even the water he drinks is in the morning to collect the ice and snow on the rock formation, put it in an iron bucket and slowly melt it, such water can be used for livestock, people can not drink directly, easy to get sick.We all put this kind of water into the kettle and leave it quietly for a day and a night, and then filter it with a cotton cloth and boil it before drinking, the taste is bitter and astringent, there is no way!

The water that came up from the West Lake grassland has long been drunk, and this kind of water is not yet open to supply!

There is also a shortage of fuel, the temperature difference between day and night here is too great, and it will sweat when you wear a single coat and walk with the thunder rhinoceros during the day, and it will not be very warm to sleep in a leather jacket at night, so the dried cow dung and dead firewood packed in sacks are consumed in large quantities every day, and there is no place to replenish them, and the forehead of the steward of Le Pas is deeply engraved with a Sichuan character.Old Kuru calculates every day how long it will take to reach the transit station ahead, but the Thunder Rhinoceros can only barely walk a hundred and ten miles every day and refuse to move a single step, recently he has been asked by the steward of Leipas to observe the terrain in front of the caravan more and more times, and stay longer and longer, after coming back, he will not say a word to us about the salt railway, just two mouthfuls of half a dry tobacco that he has not been willing to order, and after two dry addictions, he is resting on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros, I saw him leaning his back to me and still sighed: It's too ruthless, hey!
