A single spark can start a prairie fire

  Trouble caused by sesame oil

  A sudden movement in my heart, I no longer cared about the previous suffocation, crawled out of the tent, noticed that the bag I had thrown away was quietly lying at my feet, and everyone else was already packing up their luggage, no one came into view.

  I hesitated for a moment, and my gaze turned to Lu Xun's side. He had already packed up and was sitting on a rock with his backpack beside him, drinking water. Before he looked over at me uncertainly, I shifted my gaze to the sole of one of his shoes that was stretched out on the ground. From three meters away, my 2.0 vision could make out that his shoe sole also seemed to have some of that stuff stuck to it.

  Withdraw your gaze, walk to where you slipped just now, squat down and take a closer look, and then use your hand to touch and smell.

  "Eh, Jiu Ya Tou, Xiao Lu Zi asked me to ask you if something's wrong?" San Kuai Zi's loud voice came from beside me again. Hearing a murmured complaint from the side, I didn't even lift an eyebrow, pretending not to have heard.

  Three crazy people ate a closed-door bun, and returned with a sullen expression. Yu Guangzhong saw him spread his hands to Lu Xun and said: "You also saw it, you have to go ask, I asked others and they didn't respond." I listened and sneered in my heart, not wanting to bother with them, but you don't bother with people, they come to your face.

  Three crazy people left, and the main character came back one after another. He was embarrassed by what happened earlier and didn't speak up, just standing aside like a utility pole. When he saw me following the trail to the cliff edge, he finally couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking for?"

  I ignored him, and he took another step closer to ask: "Is there anything special about this place?" Recalling the conflict earlier and the sarcastic conversation afterwards, I found it hard to give him a good face, so I replied in an impatient tone: "Whether or not it's special, you won't come to see for yourself?" He was speechless after being rebuffed by me, and he actually squatted down to take a closer look.

  He wasn't a foolish person to begin with. After I generally probed the surface of the mountain rocks, his complexion changed slightly, and he hesitated to speculate: "Is this... oil?"

  I was stunned, yes, I just couldn't think of what it could be so slippery, and it had been washed away by last night's rain, completely unrecognizable. After repeated reminders, I finally realized that the slippery liquid might be oil. But since it was clearly on the empty mountain slope, how could there be an oily substance?

  It's clear that what caused me and Lù Xù to slip just now wasn't the rain, but this transparent oily substance. I just did an experiment, scraping the soles of my shoes on the ground, and there was still that slippery feeling, like walking on frozen ice in winter.

  Think about the scene just now, if it weren't for the two of us holding back on the cliff edge, we might have really rolled down. Although there is a river below, but falling from dozens of meters high, can't guarantee where to hit, and life would be lost.

  At this time, the old iron next to me was shouting that the fog would soon disperse and we could prepare to set off. I thought for a moment, then beckoned to the old iron, who immediately walked over with a smile and asked, "Sister, what's up?" I pointed to the ground and said, "Brother, take a look at this liquid substance, is it oil?"

  He often ran into the mountains, and was more familiar with the special situation in the mountains than anyone else here. He looked puzzled, wiped the water stain on the ground with his hand, pinched it with his fingertips, and then smelled it under his nose. After looking around, he suddenly said: "This is the pine oil that leaked out when the pine nut fell to the ground."

  Pine oil? I looked around and indeed there were pine cones scattered on the ground, because a large pine tree grew in the stone crevices of the mountain waist, so many pine cones fell down, some rolled to our platform. Yesterday when setting up the tent, I remember that everyone cleaned up these miscellaneous items to the side, it's estimated that the rain at night brought them rolling down again, and then the leaked pine oil mixed with the rainwater, which caused our previous shock.

  Lu Xun suddenly stood up, angrily kicking a pine nut in front of him into the bottom of the cliff. His behavior was quite childish, and his face still showed regret. I secretly shook my head, thinking that if I followed him for a long time, my IQ would probably be lowered as well.
