To be honest, Wang An has not been beaten like this since his unscrupulous brother went abroad. He has not felt this kind of fiery "family affection" for a long time. While he was angry, he also felt strange.
Ever since Gu Laosan appeared by her side, she first felt the long-lost maternal love from Gu Ma, and then felt the warmth like that of her family in Shengjiawu, and now, she actually felt the long-lost "brother-sister" love from a badger.
Damn it, to be honest, this feeling is not good at all. Wang An's lunch tasted like chewing wax.
Except for the designated camping sites in the Grampians, fireworks are strictly prohibited in other places, and it is naturally impossible to make a fire to cook. So when Wang An set out, he specially bought some self-heating fast food.
But now, when he stuffed the hot fast food into his mouth, his face was burning before he could chew it. Not to mention Gu Lao San, every time he took a bite, tears welled up in his eyes and he was speechless.
"Bah! It's so disgusting!"
After eating only a few bites, Wang An poured the lunch box back into the paper bag, covered it with a plastic bag and threw it into his backpack.
"Tsk, you're so pretentious!"
Not far away, Wang Ping was leaning against a rock, with his hairy legs crossed, gnawing on an instant chicken leg and deliberately making smacking sounds. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
The badger, who had never looked in the mirror after the fight, only vaguely knew that Wang An had pulled some hair off his forehead, but he had no idea what it looked like, and he didn't take it seriously. So he still thought he had won this round.
"I'll go explore the way first!"
Wang An threw down a sentence and stood up to walk towards the woods to the west. Xiao Si, the wolf who had just licked the dog food in the small iron basin, hurriedly followed her with his tail wagging, licking her hand flatteringly. Wang An smiled and reached out to rub its head.
"An An, be careful! Don't go too far!" Gu Lao San warned from behind.
"Bah! Dog licker!"
Wang Ping snorted in his heart, not knowing who he was scolding.
The slope extending from the top of the mountain to the west is not steep. A large area of flat land is covered with trees. On one side of the woods there is a large meadow plain, which is full of rocky slopes and low hills. It is hard to say which one is more difficult to walk on.
The next stop for the two was the Mula Reservoir, 15 kilometers away. In order to light a bonfire at night, they had to arrive at the bush campsite on the west side of the reservoir before dark. If they didn't arrive by sunset, they would have to sleep in the dark in the mountains.
Normally, 15 kilometers is not a far distance, but considering the road conditions in the mountains, the time seems a bit tight.
Gu Laosan "painfully" finished the fast food in his hand, then packed up his luggage and told a badger to hurry on. For some reason, ever since the fight with Wang An, Wang Ping always felt that Gu Laosan was afraid to look at him, as if he was afraid of being scared.
Wang Ping thought that this guy was too guilty to face him, so he didn't take it seriously. After Wang An brought the wolf Xiao Si back, he climbed onto the neck of a wolf, holding a bag of Australian walnuts, and followed the two people along the river to the west.
The sun shone directly into the water, and the bright light made it hard to open your eyes. Whether it was Wang Ping or Gu Lang and Wang An in front of him, they all subconsciously tilted their heads to the right and squinted their left eyes.
According to Wang An's exploration, only the river bank was relatively easy to walk on. The vegetation in the woods was too lush, the bushes were deep, and especially there were gravels everywhere. Every step you took required you to change your posture several times to avoid falling, which really slowed down your progress.
In order to prevent the wolf from running around and falling into the river again, Gu Laosan left a safety rope around his waist and buckled it on the collar of Wolf Xiaosi. However, because their faces were swollen, neither of them wanted to talk. Gu Lang simply put a wireless camera on Wolf Xiaosi's collar and filmed the badger from an upward angle.
Then, a magnified version of a badger's fat face appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room, with its nose facing the camera and its furry mouth chewing non-stop. The inexplicably smug expression on its face and the "sun" on its forehead were hilarious.
"I can't do it anymore. It's such a serious matter, but I just want to laugh."
"We both have black faces, but Bao Qingtian can only hold up the moon, while you are more powerful than him, holding up the sun."
"The longer the name, the more handsome the person is. Give the anchor a yacht x3..."
"The young lady was too ruthless."
"If you saw the young lady's appearance, you would know that the boss was not hit lightly."
"Sooner or later I will die of laughter in Gu Laosan's live broadcast room"
“Crack~!”
The little black claws cracked open a walnut, took out the kernel and stuffed it into his mouth, and then the shell drew an arc and flew into the river on the left. Wang Ping had a snack bag in front of him. After Wolf Xiaosi was tied up, he didn't even look at the road.
The sound of eating made Wolf Xiaosi's ears twitch. Although he was walking forward, his eyes were looking back sideways, and he turned back from time to time to try to snatch the nuts from the badger's paw.
Wang Ping would occasionally feed it one, but most of the time he would just slap it.
Everything in the woods looked the same, and there was no idea of how far we had walked. None of the distracted people noticed that the terrain under their feet was always going up, but never going down. It was not until nearly two hours later, when the sun began to move westward and shone from the front, that the wind suddenly became stronger.
At the bend in the river to the south, the two people in front of the badger took a few quick steps, and saw nothing in front of them, but they had already left the woods. The endless meadow continued to extend westward in sight, undulating in the wind, and the feeling of the vastness of the sky and the earth came to people's faces, making people want to shout out loud.
However, when they looked back from a very far distance and saw the scene under their feet, Gu Lang and Wang An looked at each other in silence.
There was another cliff in front of them, which was estimated to be at least 200 meters high, twice as high as the rock wall they climbed in the morning. And the outside was all exposed sandstone mixed with shrubs. The river turned southwest here, and looking along the river, the forest continued to the mountain peak on the south side.
Gu Lang took off his backpack and sat on the ground, panting and saying, "Let's take a break!"
"good"
Wang An nodded, put down his backpack, and began to take out his mountaineering equipment. Gu Laosan took out his cell phone out of habit, but after pressing it twice, he found that it was out of battery.
"Huh?" Someone was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "I used a power bank to charge it all night last night... Damn, what a crappy phone!"
In a hotel room called Country Sunshine on the coast of Perth, Han Daxia put away his phone with a gloomy face, cursing in his heart, this bastard, he turned off his phone when he had something important to talk to him about. On the screen of the laptop next to him, a photo was enlarged in the lower left corner, and Sama was running with a bright smile.
Afterwards, Han Daxia realized that he had such a stupid brain. He had just seen the person in the photo yesterday, but he didn't react at all at that time.
Although a photo doesn't explain much, it is the only clue that Old Han has at the moment. No matter if there is any result, he has to try his best. However, considering that the person in the photo is likely to be under Yuan Xiaoxiao's surveillance, Old Han did not dare to approach rashly.
At this time, he thought of a badger again. But no one answered Gu Laosan's phone at first, and now it was turned off.
“A-choo!”
At the edge of the cliff, Gu Lang and Wang Ping sneezed almost at the same time and looked at each other speechlessly.
Gu Laosan used the rubber band borrowed from Wang An to tie a wireless camera to Wang Ping's arm. At the same time, he took advantage of the physical contact and quietly wiped the snot that sprayed on the back of a badger's head with his sleeve.
Wang Ping also quietly raised his paw and wiped off the snot that had sprayed onto Gu Laosan's shoes. The man and the badger each had their own agenda, and neither noticed the other's little move.
Behind Gu Lang, Wang An took out the main rope from his backpack and was fixing the protection point at the top of the cliff.
The mountain wind was blocked by the trees and turned over the river, bringing with it the sound of branches shaking and breaking, and a little moisture. But for some reason, Wang Ping always smelled a fishy smell.
“Ouch!”
The wolf Xiao Si behind Gu Lang suddenly stood up and barked towards the south. Then there were clear footsteps approaching in the woods.
Wang Ping turned his head and saw a yellow dog head similar to a wolf suddenly appeared behind the bushes on the other side of the river. The dog's smiling face looked like some emoticons circulating on the Internet. But it looked weird hanging on the bushes.
Wang Ping narrowed his eyes and felt a chill in his heart. If a dog showed up in a place like this, it might not be just a dog.
