Chapter 392 The diffuse fog
Chapter 392 The diffuse fog
After nearly a month of travel, we experienced all kinds of situations on the road, but the wolf pack was the most difficult to deal with.
And this pack of wolves is abnormal, which makes it even more difficult to deal with.
"Qinghan, let's run if we can. If we can avoid a head-on confrontation, we should try to avoid it."
Li Junyong remembered the horses that ran very fast last time, but this time, no matter how he chased them, they were not as fast as last time. Didn’t they sense the danger?
He frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that there should be other ways. He couldn't help but think that Qinghan had a sweetheart with extraordinary abilities. This time when he went on a long journey, he must have given his good brother something for self-defense.
Thinking of this, I suddenly stopped worrying.
Even if the sky falls, Gu Qinghan is still holding it up, because he has someone behind him.
The more I thought about it, the better my mood seemed to become and I felt more relaxed.
Gu Qinghan certainly didn't want to face that group of wolves. He hadn't taken any action yet, so he was naturally observing.
Every time the wolves got close to the car, there seemed to be a barrier that stopped them from moving forward, and their running speed would immediately slow down, as if they could not catch up with the car no matter how hard they tried.
Apart from the howling of wolves and the chirping of cicadas at the beginning, no sound could be heard in the forest at this time. It seemed that the whole time was quiet, with only the sound of horse hooves, the rutting of wheels, and the impatient cursing of a few people.
This seems a little too abnormal.
Those who were busy getting on their way did not seem to notice the changes in their surroundings.
Just at this time, fog started to rise in the woods behind. At first, you could still see the road clearly, but it gradually spread and slowly spread towards this side.
Gu Qinghan quickly grabbed the edge of the carriage, climbed down the roof, sat down next to Li Junyong, snatched the reins from Li Junyong's hand, and asked him to give up his seat.
Li Junyong was confused. Was Gu Qinghan going to take action?
I couldn't help but feel excited and looked at the light of the torch inserted on the side of the carriage.
But after a moment, I still didn't feel the thrill of my heart beating out, it was just a little faster than when I was rushing on the road.
"Qinghan..."
"Go to the roof of the car and stare at the fog behind you."
Without waiting for Li Junyong to ask any questions, Gu Qinghan quickly explained.
"?"
"Mist?"
"Aren't you here to keep an eye on the wolves? Why is it connected to the fog?"
Li Junyong asked three questions in a row and looked around, but did not see any trace of fog.
"Just go up and take a look, you will understand." Gu Qinghan drove the carriage closer to the carriage in front and said to Ading: "Go faster, we have found a place to stop in front."
When Lin Zhian heard the noise, he lifted the curtain on the side, stuck his head out, and looked at Gu Qinghan with a puzzled look, wanting to ask something clear.
Gu Qinghan saw his confusion, but did not answer, "I will explain it to you later. Now is not a good time to chat."
After saying that, he asked Li Junyong to jump onto the roof of Lin Zhian's carriage and drove the carriage to explain the situation to the people in front one by one.
Everyone tacitly understood each other and didn't ask any more questions. They just found a place to stop first.
Gu Qinghan naturally became the leader. He didn't know how big the forest was, and it might not be possible to get out of the forest in a short time. Gu Qinghan found a suitable place. The surroundings were relatively empty, and the fog had not yet spread to this side. He could see the full moon hanging in the sky when he looked up.
Everyone stopped here one by one, got off the carriage and looked around. The ground was a little wet, and it was not suitable to sleep on the ground here. So they chose a drier place and spread snake repellent and mosquito repellent around.
Everyone looked at the fog that was gradually spreading towards them from behind. Without Gu Qinghan's explanation, everyone understood why they had to find a place to stop. There were no trees in the forest behind them, not to mention the wolves chasing them. They might have lost their way in the fog.
Gu Qinghan and a few others quickly picked up some dry branches and started a fire before the fog spread to this side.
The temperature in this forest is still relatively low at night, so we must warm up our bodies.
"Why is it suddenly foggy? This is too weird." Luo Xile asked in surprise.
"It's not surprising. We've encountered wolf packs twice on the road. Now I don't find anything strange." Lu Zishi has calmed down. As long as his life is not in danger, it's fine.
"Congjing, have you encountered this situation before?" Wu Mingshi asked Lin Congjing who was standing beside him. People who often travel outside should encounter this kind of thing frequently.
"Of course we will, but we have only passed this route during the day and have never tried to travel at night. But I think the speed at which the fog spreads is very wrong. Haven't you noticed that it is getting faster and faster?"
As soon as Lin Congjing said this, those who didn't notice this looked up again. They were sure that they couldn't see through it. They just felt that the trees they could see were getting fewer and fewer, and the fog was about to come over here.
There was no point in hurrying at this moment, so everyone sat around the fire, took a brief rest, and then returned to the car. Some of them kept watch while others took a rest. After a while, snoring sounds were heard everywhere.
When the snoring sounded at this moment, Gu Qinghan actually felt a sense of familiarity. In this silent forest, he had a sense of belonging.
After a while, the fog spread over, and in an instant, you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Gu Qinghan looked at the whiteness in front of him, and sideways he saw the fire that had become weak. The area around the burning fire was not covered by the fog, but was faintly dispersed.
Gu Qinghan looked at it in surprise and frowned.
It turns out that the fire is not affected by the fog. That makes it easy. Gu Qinghan took out a fire starter from his arms and blew it up.
With the help of the light from the tinder, he lit the torch on the side of the carriage, then took the torch and walked around it.
"Qinghan, what are you doing?"
This action attracted the attention of Lu Zishi and Luo Xile. Everything was white, and suddenly they saw a very clear light appear in front of them. Everyone was surprised and they both exclaimed at the same time.
"As you can see, the fire can drive away the fog. You can try it."
Gu Qinghan looked at the vast expanse of white behind him and could not see any vehicles at all. He could only walk towards the place where the sound came from, waving a torch.
The fog that had just been dispersed, without the flames, soon enveloped them again. Gu Qinghan only moved half a step and quickly turned back.
It’s better not to leave, otherwise we won’t know where the car is. The horses are tied to tree trunks and there’s no need to worry about them running around.
Gu Qinghan lit the torch on the other side of the carriage, then walked to the fire, added firewood, and started the fire again.
"Really? It feels so good to be able to see it."
Luo Xile's main point was to listen to advice. When he got a satisfactory result, he was also surprised and looked at Gu Qinghan with admiration.
