The dim firelight shone through a crack in the rock covered by vegetation, making the rain outside sparkle.
A wet branch was added to the flames, and steam was instantly produced. At the side, a small furry black paw continued to add wood to the bonfire.
"ha… "
Wang Ping yawned hard, and it was difficult for him to open his eyes. He turned his head to look at Hu Li, who was lying beside him in his clothes, and shook his head secretly. This guy was as carefree as Gu Lao San, and he could sleep like this.
I looked up at the top of the rock wall again and saw a woodpecker that was almost stuffed to death. It was hiding in the gap between the huge tree roots that came through the rock, dozing off with its eyes squinted.
"Tsk, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, I didn't expect this cheap bird also has a second home." A badger shook his head and sighed. In this world, even birds are not simple.
However, when he thought of Gu Laosan, Wang Ping suddenly realized what he had overlooked before.
"Shit, I don't know what happened to them. The shelter should have been built by now..."
At this moment, the furry ears of a badger moved, and the sound of footsteps came from outside the crevice through the rain.
"Little fox! Little fox! Are you in there?"
Han Daxia's voice came from outside. Wang Ping turned around and looked at Hu Li who was sleeping soundly. After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked out.
"kee~" The woodpecker above my head was startled and after calling out, it hid deep in the roots of the tree.
After walking a few steps, Wang Ping suddenly remembered something, ran back quickly, picked up the umbrella that Hu Li had left behind him, looked around, but there was no place to hide.
The crevice looked wide, but it was actually not very deep, and nearly half of it was soaked by rain. Only the area where the bonfire was lit was relatively dry. Unfortunately, apart from the patch of ground ivy, there was no other obvious shelter.
Looking up at the tree roots where some birds sleep, Wang Ping ran to the right rock wall and climbed up along the cracks and tree roots. He reached the depths of the entangled roots and just as he stuffed his umbrella into the crack, he heard leaves rustling outside the crack and someone peeking through the hole.
"She's in there!" Hero Han shouted at the entrance of the cave.
"Hmm..."
Hu Li frowned, squinted his eyes, turned over and sat up, with a confused look on his face.
"Watch your step, it's slippery here, don't fall!"
Han Daxia gave instructions to the outsiders, then turned around and walked inside. However, after walking a few steps, he saw Hu Li, who had woken up, looking at him and suddenly grinned and screamed. In the light of the fire, the little fox's teeth and mouth were blood red.
"Oh my god!"
Han Daxia's legs went weak and he stepped on a piece of moss. One of his feet slid sideways and he fell onto the rock with a bang.
“Ah~”
A badger who had just climbed down from the rock wall felt his face twitch, and everyone felt so painful for him.
Ten minutes later, a row of six figures squatted beside the campfire, roasting their clothes while looking at the man and the badger opposite them.
The little fox sat opposite with a silly smile on his face, wiping his face and teeth with a tissue.
The berry called ground ivy that the "Fairy Tale" group eats has another use, which is to be used as a food dye. It is a natural red pigment.
The little fox was so absorbed in eating that his teeth and lips were all dyed red, like a vampire. When he woke up, he suddenly saw a figure opposite him. He screamed, but the figure scared Han Da Xia half to death.
"You're really good, little fox!"
Seeing that no one else was talking, Yang Xu rolled his eyes, pointed at Hu Li, shook his head and sighed, "You have such a good place, but you didn't tell everyone to come here earlier to take shelter from the rain. You slept so well!"
"Uh... Hehe." Hu Li smiled awkwardly. He was too embarrassed to say that he was too absorbed in eating and forgot about it. However, after laughing for a long time, he couldn't think of a suitable reason, so he continued to smile foolishly.
On the other side, in the far right corner, Wang Ping and Gu Laosan were staring at each other.
Someone doesn't have the courage to accuse a badger of being disloyal, but the contempt in his eyes can't be concealed.
"Gu Laosan, if you keep looking at me like that, you might get beaten!" A badger bared his teeth, but there was a sense of guilt in his little eyes.
"alright,"
At this time, Han Da Xia, whose heartbeat had calmed down, smiled and said to everyone: "Although this place is a little small, it is much better than outside. Now that the little fox has been found, there is also a place to rest. Isn't this just perfect!"
"Brother Han is right!" Li Mengdie looked up at Hu Li and suddenly said, "Xiao Li, my attitude was bad before. I apologize to you here!"
"Oh, Sister Mengdie..."
The little fox said helplessly: "No... It's okay, I didn't do well either, I just cried..."
“Pah!”
On the other side of the campfire, Han Daxia took the lead in clapping. The others sighed and raised their hands in response.
Gu Laosan and Wang Ping were at the edge, and they patted the badger twice. Suddenly, they saw the other party's perfunctory attitude, curled their lips at each other, and then shrugged at the same time.
"Ha ha… "
Gu Lang was amused by the badger's funny appearance and laughed out loud. But then he covered his mouth and subconsciously looked at other people.
Everyone stared at him in shock for a long while, and no one knew who started it, but they suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter immediately resounded through the cracks in the rocks.
In the root system on the top of the rock, a woodpecker leaned against the innermost part, fearing that it would be discovered by these new "two-legged beasts".
Especially the young man with a flat head. It witnessed with its own eyes in the woods that this guy robbed the bird nest of one of its friends and ate the unborn baby alive. It was a "tragedy among birds."
"It's so scary!" A landlord trembled, fearing that he would not be able to sleep at night.
In the early morning, just as the sky gradually brightened, the rain finally began to ease. A large patch of thick fog rose simultaneously from the woods and the sea around the island, covering the entire island.
There were early viewers in the live broadcast room. As usual, they opened the live broadcast and put it aside to do their own things. Some were washing their faces and brushing their teeth, while others were eating breakfast. When they finished their work and focused on the live broadcast, they found that something seemed to be wrong.
In front of the camera, through the fog, we can vaguely see that the place where the anchors built the shelter yesterday is now empty, with only a river about one meter wide, carrying mud and sand.
"What the hell, what happened?"
"Where are the people?"
"It's a big deal!"
“Is this a flood?”
"Where's the camp?"
"Oh my god, my scalp is tingling"
“The live broadcast rooms of the anchors are all black screens”
"It's over, something really happened!"
On the east coast, sunlight shines through a thin sliver of sky above, gradually illuminating the cracks in the rocks.
Hu Li and Li Mengdie were sleeping soundly beside the fire that had gone out at some point. Not far from them, Gu Laosan and Yi Jiuyang, whose head was wrapped in rags, were lying on the rocks with their backs facing each other. The sound of snoring filled the entire crevice.
Above their heads, a woodpecker cautiously poked its head out from a tree root. Seeing that several people below were still sleeping, it came out, spread its wings, and quickly flew out of the crevice.
As soon as I flew out of the crevice, I saw a familiar figure in the drizzle outside. He was standing on the reef below, stretching his claws towards the east.
"kee!"
A bird subconsciously chirped. Wang Ping looked up at it, waved his claws perfunctorily, and continued to practice qigong.
At this moment, on the west side of the woods, three figures stood at the edge of the woods, looking at the stream that appeared at the location where the shelter was originally built, and they all sighed silently.
"I can't stay here anymore!"
Yang Xu shook his head and walked to the other side, saying to the two men as he walked, "Let's take the remaining equipment and firewood back! Looks like we have to stay there today."
