Chapter 21: Survival

Changsheng took what Qi Wei gave him and walked aside, put the compass in his pocket, stuck the dagger in his waist, unfolded the topographic map and looked at it carefully!

This topographic map is very rough. It uses a few simple lines to draw out some particularly obvious terrains. But what is interesting is that Chang Sheng made a simple calculation and found that although the topographic map is simple and sloppy, it is accurate in the directions and diagrams.

Incomparably, it seems that the Mohist family is proficient in engineering.

Find the five rough mountains where you are, and take another look at your destination. There is a place that looks like a small tripod marked. Changsheng carefully estimates it according to the proportion of the diagram on the lower left!

The straight-line distance is about a hundred miles, but if you really want to rush to the location of the Bronze Cauldron, naturally it cannot be a straight-line distance. Therefore, the total distance should be more than one hundred and fifty miles.

Looking at the short dagger and compass in his hand, Chang Sheng secretly sighed, more than 150 miles of mountain road, three days, is definitely a big challenge for a child under ten years old, not to mention,

You will definitely encounter all kinds of difficulties along the way...

The boy named Feng Jue also looked at the topographic map. He raised his head and said to Changsheng and the others, "I looked at this topographic map. It's impossible to reach it easily on a mountain road of about a hundred miles, let alone on the road.

Maybe there are other tests..."

"Not a hundred miles, but more than a hundred and fifty miles..." Changsheng suddenly said!

Qi Wei, who was drinking tea, was suddenly startled, raised his head and looked at Changsheng, and asked unexpectedly, "Can you convert map ratios?"

"What is the map scale?" Chang Sheng naturally could not admit that he could estimate the map scale. This was a bit incredible for a seven-year-old child. He replied calmly, "I roughly guessed that we are going to leave."

It’s a mountain road, and we’ll be delayed on the way, so it’s probably more than a hundred miles!”

Three days, one hundred miles and one hundred and fifty miles are definitely two different concepts. If you are not prepared or save your energy for the next journey, the possibility of failure will be much greater.

Several children also understood this truth and began to rethink their preparations before going on the road!

Hearing that Chang Sheng was just a guess, Qi Wei didn't say anything else. As for whether he believed in Chang Sheng, he didn't know.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xueyi asked Feng Jue impatiently!

"What I mean is that the seven of us can unite and work together to complete this journey. It will be good for us all!" Feng Jue glanced at the crowd and said.

"It's not impossible, but if any of you hold me back, I won't wait for you!" Jiang Xueyi seemed to be confident about this test and specifically glanced at Changsheng, who was slightly shorter.

Snorted coldly!

It seems that this little girl named Jiang Xueyi also knows that Changsheng is the youngest here and looks weak. Moreover, the children who want to go through the back door must be weak, and the one who holds them back is most likely Changsheng.

"If you don't have any questions, please state our names. We can be considered brothers and sisters... My name is Feng Jue!" Feng Jue deliberately took care of Changsheng's face, pretending not to understand Jiang Xueyi's words, and quickly reported

Say your name!

"Qing Huaiyu..."

"The year of good fortune..."

"Bian Gan..."

"Tengyou Mountain..."

"Longevity..."

"Jiang Xueyi..." Jiang Xueyi announced her name, pointed at Changsheng, and shouted angrily, "Remember, if you hold us back, I will never care about you. !”

Chang Sheng glanced at Jiang Xueyi with a frown, and regardless of her eldest lady's temper, he walked to a short tree with a dagger in his hand, cut off a branch to make a crutch, matched it with the topographic map in his hand, and took the lead in facing the five Walk to the ridge of Yunling Mountain!

Feng Jue couldn't say anything, so he, Jiang Xueyi and others followed Chang Sheng over the Wuyun Mountains.

Wuyun Ridge is not very tall, and these children have all had experience climbing mountains and ridges. It only took more than an hour to climb the mountain ridge and begin the test before entering the Mo family...

Changsheng led the team, followed by Jiang Xueyi, Qing Huaiyu and others. Feng Jue volunteered to walk behind the team, joining Teng Youshan to lead the team!

It's just that Jiang Xueyi's competitive spirit is particularly strong, and she always tries to surpass Changsheng intentionally or unintentionally, as if being at the front is considered the leader.

Most of the day later, several children walked to the edge of a forest to rest. The woods were actually extremely dense. The towering trees blocked the sunlight, making the woods appear extremely dark. The tangled tree roots were twisted like countless snakes, shrouding half of the forest. Looming among the rotten leaves meters deep!

After all, this is deep in the Qinling Mountains. Just because the Mohist disciples have repaired it for many years, there are no wild animals in the dense forest, and it is not as difficult to walk as the primitive forest!

That Bian Gan seemed to have experience of living in the mountains and forests. He climbed up a fruit tree and picked a dozen wild fruits. He picked a few larger ones for himself and Jiang Xueyi, and gave the rest to Feng Jue Changsheng. Wait for someone!

Bian Qian is a kid from the business world. It seems that this kid has understood the importance of interests since he was a child and knows who in this team is valuable to use.

Everyone ate two wild fruits each, carried the remaining wild fruits with their clothes, and started on the road again. Just after taking two steps, Chang Sheng suddenly laughed, glanced at the wild fruits everyone was carrying, and said with a smile, "We are here Doesn’t it look like you’re walking around without food?”

Feng Jue and other children also laughed, but Jiang Xueyi frowned and snorted, "Arty, right? When you cry..."

Changsheng turned around and glanced at Jiang Xueyi beside him, and thought to himself, this child's eldest lady has a bit too much temper. Why is she always in trouble with him?

Among the endless weeds half as tall as a man, there is an obscure path leading into the distance. Every ten years, a group of Mo family's young children walk along this path. Therefore, although the path is overgrown with weeds, it can still be vaguely identified. Traces of the path!

For more than a thousand years, generations of young sons of the Mohist family have walked out of their own glorious lives along this path into the main courtyard of the Mohist family. Now, Changsheng and other children are also following the path taken by their predecessors, heading towards their own unknown lives. .

All the children knew that the journey would be easier at the beginning but would become more difficult as they went further, so they kept walking until after nine o'clock in the night. When they couldn't stand it any longer, they stopped by a pond to rest!

The sky was filled with stars and insects and frogs were chirping. However, Changsheng and the others were not in the mood to appreciate the night view. They all slumped on the ground without any image, gasping for air.

Only Feng Jue stood up unsteadily, found a piece of dry wood, and used the dagger in his hand to cut out a sharp stick!

"Brother Feng, what are you doing?" Jiang Xueyi asked curiously!

"Cooking wood to make a fire... I thought about it, I'm afraid we have to spend the night here. Although the weather is August now, it will definitely be difficult to live at night without a fire!"

"Look at Brother Feng, and then look at you." Jiang Xueyi looked at Changsheng and the others and complained, then walked to Feng Jue and asked, "Brother Feng, do you need my help?"

"No, Xueyi, just wait..."

Hearing that Feng Jue was about to drill wood to make fire, Chang Sheng also stood up, walked to Feng Jue, and held the dry wood stick underneath for Feng Jue. Feng Jue took out a hole with the dry wood stick and filled it with some thin

of velvet grass, rubbing the wooden stick with both hands and turning it rapidly.

After seven or eight attempts, the velvet grass started to smoke, and then a small fire ignited. Changsheng quickly picked up a few hay to ignite the fire, and lit a fire in the open space!

At this time, Jiang Xueyi's eyes towards Changsheng softened a bit, and her attitude towards Changsheng seemed to have changed.

As soon as they were roasted by the flames, the tense heartstrings of the children gradually relaxed, but at the same time they were also hungry. After all, they had walked for a day, how could they not be hungry?

Feng Jue stood up and walked to the edge of the pond not far away, looking for something along the pond!

"Brother Feng, what are you doing?" Jiang Xueyi was the first to react and asked with a dark frown.

"We have only walked one-third of the way today. If we don't eat enough now, we will definitely not be strong enough to walk the rest of the way. Let me see if I can find something to bake and eat!" Feng Jue said, pulling and pulling.

The grass is searching carefully!

Although there are all kinds of small animals in this huge mountain range, it is already dark at this time, and it is difficult to see them clearly, let alone catch them.

After searching for a long time, Feng Jue found a few small bugs. Bian Gan and Jiang Xueyi also joined the search team, searching everywhere for animals that could be roasted and eaten, but apart from bugs, they still couldn't find anything edible!

Looking at the insects in the hands of several people, Feng Jue thought for a while and returned to the fire, picked up a wooden stick and prepared to make a torch. Jiang Xueyi glanced at Changsheng and saw Changsheng slumped on the ground motionless, and suddenly scolded: "

Selfish devil, we are all looking for something, and you are the only one sitting there?"

Changsheng looked at the small bugs in the hands of Jiang Xueyi and others, his body twisted and squirmed, and said lightly, "I don't eat these small bugs. If you like to eat them yourself, just eat them!"

Jiang Xueyi glanced at the bug in her hand and felt a little disgusted. She suddenly turned her anger on Changsheng and angrily said, "Hey, do you have any sense of teamwork?"

However, Changsheng didn't mean to be angry at all. He stood up and walked to Feng Jue, who was making the torch, and said to Feng Jue, "Do you want to eat roasted frogs, roasted snakes or roasted pheasants?"

Before Feng Jue answered, Jiang Xueyi snorted with a look of disdain, and shouted, "You are just looking for someone who is blind? Don't always talk big words..."

"Hehe... Today I will let you see what I am capable of. You all form a circle around me and I will cast a spell to catch frogs..."

"Pretend to be a ghost while we go..." Jiang Xueyi and the others did not give Changsheng any face, threw away the insects in their hands, and watched Feng Jue make a torch!

"Haha... do you want to eat these little bugs or roasted frogs?" Changsheng replied nonchalantly, "If you want to eat roasted frogs, just surround me, lean against me, and wait for me to cast a spell to catch them.

A few frogs, if you want to eat bugs... then you can do whatever you want!"

"Really? You're not lying, are you?" Several people looked at each other, then looked at the nameless little insect twisting in their hands. Although they didn't quite believe Chang Sheng's words, they still walked to Chang Sheng and formed a circle around him!

Even Feng Jue put down the tied torches, walked to a few children, and stood with his back against Chang Sheng with his hands tied!
