While Old Han was still being beaten by the river, Wang An and Gu Lang had already returned to the place where she first crossed the river and landed.
Because the river was constantly flowing and the kayak was paddled diagonally along the current, by the time they finished crossing the river twice, the place where they landed was nearly 3 kilometers away from where they put their luggage.
After walking along the rugged river bank for more than half an hour, the bushes in front of them made a noise, and Xiao Huang had already come to meet them. Leopard Face came close to smell Wang An's hand, licked the gloves wet by the river water, and followed the two back to the original place.
Gu Lang first pushed aside the branches and bushes that were blocking the view, and saw a red "ball" standing on the backpacks that were placed side by side, looking after the luggage loyally. When the puppy saw him, it barked twice in a seemingly fierce manner, until a badger flashed out from behind his legs, and then it wagged its tail.
"Little thing! If I can't cure it, I can't cure you either!"
After a moment of hesitation, a salted fish stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Hong by the neck and lifted her up, flicked her head on the head, and cursed at someone else. It was unclear whether he was talking about Xiao Huang or a badger.
"Ooooooooooooooooooo!"
A certain bush dog howled madly at someone as soon as it landed. Wang Ping patted it because it was too noisy, and then it sat down, wagging its tail. He also glanced at someone in a very humane way, as if to say, "If it weren't for my boss's face, I would bite you to death."
Not wanting to bother with the arrogant puppy, Wang Ping went to his backpack and took out the remaining beef jerky to continue his unfinished lunch. Wang An stuffed the deflated and refolded kayak back into his backpack and took out a map to check the location with Xiao Huang.
Gu Laosan took out the kettle and drank the remaining half of the water in one breath. People who didn't know would think that he had exerted a lot of effort, but in fact, his throat was just a little dry from singing.
"I don't know what happened to them..."
After stuffing the empty water bottle into the side of the backpack, Gu Lang moved to Wang An's side, looked up at the tree canopy above his head, and said something as if with a sigh.
"Hmm... didn't Brother Han say that their lives were not in danger?" Wang An drew the route on the map with his finger and muttered absentmindedly.
"What Han Dasha said... Humph!"
Gu Laosan snorted with seeming disdain. Ever since Han Daxia was repeatedly blamed by Wang Ping, he obviously no longer had any credibility in this Xianyu place.
Of course, that salted fish didn't dare to say the rest of his words. He was thinking that even if his life was not in danger, he was caught by the natives after all, so he would probably be beaten, right
At the same time, in a straw hut of the Bita tribe, everyone was discussing an escape plan.
"Actually, this shed isn't very solid. It's easy to get out, but the key is how to leave the tribe..."
Yang Xu frowned again halfway through his speech and shook his head, saying, "Actually, leaving the tribe is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to get our luggage back!"
"It's already this late, why do you need your luggage? It's more important to escape!"
Someone beside him muttered something, and then a "pig-head" shouted, "Shut up! Listen to what Brother Yang has to say first!"
Yang Xu was interrupted before he could finish his words. He was a little unhappy at first, but when he saw someone standing up for him, he suppressed his anger, pulled the corners of his blue mouth, and said with a fake smile: "Thank you, Brother Hei!"
"Hey, we've been locked up together for more than ten days, so we're brothers now. Why are you being so polite?"
The sturdy "pig head" on the opposite side waved his hands, and it was hard to tell from his swollen face whether he was calm or smug. Now that everyone was a pig head, it was easier to hide their emotions.
Yang Xu rolled his eyes implicitly, secretly complaining in his heart: "Damn it, I was so harsh on you last night, I almost broke my nose!"
"Old Yang, keep talking!"
A pig-head wearing a grey cloth "skirt" beside him spoke, and Yang Xu realized that this guy was actually Ding Yi. He had been sitting here for a long time, but he didn't recognize him at all.
After clearing his throat and thinking about what he was talking about, Yang Xu continued, "I was too simple-minded before. We only thought about how to escape from here, but we didn't know how far the nearest city was. With our current... clothes, without equipment and first aid kits, we probably can't walk far in the rain forest."
"That's true..."
The "pig head" beside Lao Hei nodded and responded: "This group of perverts not only shaved my... cough, but also confiscated my clothes and shoes! I'm not a native, I'm afraid I can't even walk a kilometer barefoot before my feet are broken."
"Tsk, everything else is easy, but the luggage might be hard to carry..."
Ding Yi frowned and sighed, then his swollen eyebrows felt painful, so he raised his hand to rub them, looking at the group of strong animals opposite with resentment. I don't know who these guys usually practice with, but they are so ruthless. Last night, he and Yang Xu were the worst beaten, and their faces were almost disfigured.
"We have to take it even if it's difficult! At least one person has to get out safely and tell the boss about the situation here!"
Lao Hei's words were unanimously agreed by the surrounding "pig heads", but Yang Xu seemed a little unconvinced, obviously not believing that the "boss" they were talking about really dared to come to the Amazon rainforest to rescue people. However, he did agree with Lao Hei's other words, as long as one person could get out, at least he could tell the outside world the exact location of this place.
"Then let's find a way to send one person out for the time being!" Yang Xu added: "This way the target will be smaller, and the one who stays behind can help cover us, so maybe we won't be discovered."
"Then... who should be let out?"
Ding Yi's words caused the hut to fall silent, and no one spoke for a long time.
Deep in the rainforest in the northeast direction, there is also a "pig head" with a gloomy face and no words, just busy on his way.
Yuan Xiaoxiao was alone in front to explore the way, while helping the two "disabled people" to cut off the branches that were blocking the way.
After learning that Han Daxia and his friend were going to continue to meet up with Gu Lang, Yi Jiuyang refused Han's arrangement to contact a helicopter to take him away and insisted on following them.
On the one hand, as Yuan Xiaoxiao said, the wound after treatment is actually a skin injury, and apart from the pain, it has little impact on the body's functions. On the other hand, he was unwilling to leave before rescuing Ding Yi.
So Old Han didn't insist any longer. He picked suitable tree forks in the forest and made four simple crutches. Each of them put two crutches under his armpits and continued on his way, limping.
At this time, the news that Yi Jiuyang was attacked by piranhas in the Amazon rainforest had been exposed on the Internet. In addition, the news that Gu Lang also came here was exposed last night, but he has not yet joined up with Han Daxia and his men. More and more people are pessimistic about this rescue, and there are even voices that say that Gu Lao San is not here at all, and that Lao Han's words are nothing more than a way of whitewashing Douyu.
At this time, Gu Lang and the other man, who had been subject to various interpretations and speculations on the Internet, had nervousness on their faces and were speeding up their journey through the forest.
They seemed to be targeted by a predator in the area. Although they didn't know what kind of animal it was, judging from Xiao Huang's reaction, the predator might be difficult to deal with.
