survival in the wilderness

Chapter 167

After eating a steamed bun, Lin Yan stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the mountain that was getting closer and closer, and thought, he must be able to get there today.

The life on the boat was actually quite boring. She just stood at the bow of the boat when she had nothing to do, looked at the surrounding scene, remembered everything in her mind, and asked Fat Bao to help record it.

She has to write down all the places she has traveled to provide a basis for drawing maps.

At noon, the boat arrived at the foot of the mountain. The mountains do not look high from a distance, but you can only feel its majesty when you get close.

The mountain peaks on both sides are thousands of meters apart, and the Sun River runs through the middle.

The peak on the west side stands steeply, and the water flows through the cliff below the mountain. There is a gentle slope under the peak on the east side, and the water is not close to the foot of the mountain.

"Seeing from a distance, the two mountains are almost side by side. I thought the Taiyang River should be very narrow here. Unexpectedly, the Taiyang River split into two rivers when it came out of the mountain pass. One flowed in our direction, and the other turned from the foot of the mountain. Turned to the east. Judging from the width, the current on our side is smaller."

Lin Yan looked at the other river, which had a larger volume of water and a wider surface, "I don't know where this river leads to?"

Yun Qing was also fascinated, and after hearing Lin Yan finish speaking, "Should we go up now, or take another river?"

"I want to continue up along the main river." Lin Yan looked at the mountains on both sides, and she wanted to find out what was in the mountains upstream.If possible, she would stop at the shore halfway, and she would like to go down for a walk.

Yun Qing said: "This time I came out because I wanted to go against the current, so let's go on."

Entering the river channel seen by the mountain peak, the water flow is gentle and the river is deeper. From time to time, there are various sounds coming from the mountains on both sides, like birds chirping.

Seeing such a scene for the first time, the people on board were very curious.It turned out that the place where they were located was not flat, there were also tall mountains and cliffs.

After the boat sailed for more than an hour, the mountains on both sides were left behind, but the scene in front did not change, it was still mountains connecting mountains.

This is a continuous mountain range, with ups and downs, and water flows from the peaks.

"It looks like there is no end. Can we get out of the mountains?" Lan Yue was a little worried. They had limited time to come out and couldn't stay outside for a long time.

"Let's go for another day and see. If it keeps like this, we will return and come back when we are fully prepared next time."

Lin Yan was not too disappointed, this time he came out just to follow the current to see the surrounding situation.

In the evening of the next day, the boat docked at the foot of a mountain, where there happened to be a recessed place, sheltered from the wind and hidden.

The night passed safely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief on the third morning.When going out, the biggest worry is being attacked at night.

Yun Qing asked Lin Yan, "It's already the third day, the last day of the plan, we should go back."

"How long can the things I brought last?"

Hearing what Lin Yan said, Yun Qing understood, "I have prepared a lot this time, and I can last for six days. When I came here, I went against the current, but when I go back, the speed will be much faster. Do you still want to go forward?"

Lin Yan nodded, "It's rare to come out, I want to go as far as possible."

Yun Qing also had this idea, "Then keep going forward, and go back the day after tomorrow."

After hearing this, Lan Yue couldn't help but said: "In this case, people in the city will worry about us."

"When we get back safely, they will be relieved. When we are away from home, we can't come completely according to the plan." Yun said lightly.

Lin Yan smiled knowingly, "That's right. Everyone is very busy, we just go back a few days later, it doesn't matter."

The boat continued to move forward, and at noon on the fourth day, they came out of the mountains, and their vision suddenly became wider.The river channel is wider, sparkling, and it is full of water at a glance.

"We've come out, let's go to one side and see what's on the shore." Lin Yan said excitedly.

Yun nodded lightly, "This area is full of water."

"Yeah, it looks like a big lake. It looks really big, as if you can't find the edge."

"It's also the first time I've seen so much water. Looking at it, it seems that there is no end. This time when I came out and saw this piece of water, I felt it was worth it."

"The captain also has emotions. However, this lake is really big and looks very beautiful. Wait a moment and let's look at the shore."

Half an hour later, the boat docked on the west side of the lake, which was green and lush with weeds.

"The shore is very flat and there are no tall trees. You can faintly see mountains in the distance. It's a good place for farming." Standing on the boat, Lin Yan sighed.

Yun Qing was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Lin Yan make a silent movement, stopped quickly, and asked what was going on with her eyes.

Lan Yue and Feng Wenwen also looked serious, they looked in the same direction.

Lin Yan hurriedly said: "Something is coming, hurry up and row the boat, stay away from the shore."

"The sound is quite loud, like a herd of animals running." Lan Yue identified it carefully, "The speed is very fast, and the sound is getting closer."

When the boat was a few hundred meters away from the shore, a herd of robust cattle, some black and some yellow, rushed towards the shore.

"Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would just run into it." Lin Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "This herd of cows is here to drink water. Let's row up to see if there are any other herds."

Beside the water source, there are all ferocious beasts gathering. Just like people, the beasts are also very smart and like to live by the water.

Rowing up along the lake, I saw a flock of sheep, as well as flocks of big white geese, ducks, and elk.

The elk is about the same size as a sheep, and the horns on its head are like tree branches, which is very strange.

This is the first time for everyone to see, very fresh.

"Can elk eat it too?" Yun Qing asked.

"It's edible, but it's not easy to catch it. Such a large herd of elk would have already disappeared when we got close."

"As long as it can be eaten, we will find a way to hunt it when we encounter it in the future. We have never encountered elk in Sun City. We will catch a few and take them back to raise them next time."

"Okay. There are quite a lot of animal species in this area. I don't know if there are any people living here."

"You can't get off the boat." Yun Qing hurriedly stopped, "You've also seen that there are so many beasts by the lake, getting off the boat is going to kill you."

"I know." Lin Yan said obediently.She just thought about it, and didn't say to go ashore now.

After walking along the lake for an afternoon, the people on the boat gave up the idea of ​​getting off the boat. There were too many herds, and they could be seen within a short distance.

Especially those big white geese, scattered scattered, if they broke into them, it is estimated that the boat would be overturned by the geese.

Before dark, they rowed the boat to a stop not far from the mountain peak, and they were going to return tomorrow.

The night was not peaceful, and various calls could be heard from time to time.What surprised Lin Yan was the howling of wolves.

What I saw by the lake today were all herbivores. If there were wolves, the danger would be greatly increased.

Lan Yue heard it too, and seeing Lin Yan shaking her head, she didn't ask any further questions.

After resting for one night, the boat went down the river along the way it came on the fifth morning.
