Half a bottle of water

  Half a bottle of water

  He straightened up and said, "Let me carry your bag for you. It's not as easy to walk on the trees as it is on the flat road below. Judging from the situation, there's no way to go down for a while, so we'll have to keep walking in the treetops for a while. You take the phone and lead the way."

  Without hesitation, I took his phone and followed the route indicated by the red dots. After taking off my backpack, I felt much lighter, but it also meant that the burden would be transferred to him, and soon he was panting, after all, our combined backpacks weighed around 60-70 kilograms. Finally, the dense forest began to thin out, and below us, a road gradually appeared, no longer just a tangle of tree branches like a spider web, revealing a thick layer of withered yellow leaves.

  I was about to slide down from the tree, and it was really hard to walk on top. But I was stopped by someone shouting "Wait a minute" behind me. When I turned my head, I saw him casually break off a thin branch, which shot straight down, and after passing through the yellow leaves, it still penetrated more than a foot into the ground. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but gasp in surprise, and I also broke off a long tree branch from the side, swept away the withered leaves, and found that underneath was muddy soil. In other words, this place was a swamp.

  Luckily, I was stopped by Lushu just now and didn't go down, otherwise I would have fallen into the mud pit. Looking ahead, I immediately understood why Lushu had stopped me, because the road ahead was flat with dry leaves and there were no signs of anyone having trampled through the mud, it was clear that the other party had walked on the trees when they arrived here.

  Looking at the red dots on my phone, the distance between us has increased. This environment is difficult for us to navigate, but it's like a fish in water for them. It's really hard to believe that they can arrive at Liang Ge and San Kuai's location in such a short time. Wait, why haven't the other three red dots left the map block? Those three people should be Lao Wu and two police officers, their current location is near Shimen Pass, but it seems like they've been circling around the same spot.

  Relatively speaking, I'm not too worried about these three people. After all, the police have guns in their hands, and if they encounter an attack, the two of them can shoot and kill the thugs. Maybe they just took a wrong turn and got lost for a while.

  After passing through a dense forest, it was again densely packed, and another half hour was spent before finally being able to get down from the tree. This time, although the ground was almost bare of dead leaves, with even protruding rocks, caution was still exercised using branches to cross safely before sliding down the tree.

  I didn't plan to stay, my feet stepped on the ground and I started to leave, but then I heard someone shouting behind me: "Wait a minute, let me catch my breath." I turned around and saw him sitting on the ground, sweating profusely, with two backpacks thrown off beside his feet, panting heavily.

  Alright, forget about the package this time. Walk back and unzip the bag, handed him a bottle of water. He didn't stand on ceremony either, twisted the cap off and gulped down half the bottle of water, then poured the rest over his head.

  I bit my tongue and didn't speak up, I had brought just enough useful things with me to minimize the burden, even the water was carefully calculated, no more than half a bottle per day. But he drank half a bottle without saying anything, and then wasted the remaining half by pouring it out. What a carefree move! Is it really that hot? He's not afraid of getting his clothes wet and uncomfortable.

  Just as he had turned his mind around, Lu Xun asked him to turn his body around.

  "What's wrong?" I frowned and asked.

  His expression paused, and his face turned slightly red. "Change your clothes." After finishing speaking, he buried his head in his own bag to search for something, and soon took out a pure black long-sleeved T-shirt. He raised his head to see me still staring at him, and asked again: "You turn around, okay?"

  I sneered, "It's not like I haven't seen it before. Someone was already exposed when they came out of the bath that day, and now you're pretending to be shy." It really wasn't my intention to mock him, but his temperament was just unbearable.

  You got yourself wet, then come change your clothes, why waste half a bottle of water earlier?
