Chapter 98 The Bed
This sound not only frightened the three girls, but also Gu Xiaole, who claimed to be well-informed in the mountains, was stunned.
The sound just now seemed like the roar of a cow or the roar of some mechanical startup.
For a long time, the four people who were fighting just now were silent, wanting to hear if there was another sound like this later.
But apart from the one just now, there were no more strange sounds.
The four of them looked at me, and I looked at her, but no one said anything...
Until the end, Lin Jiao, the youngest, couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Xiaole, did you hear that sound just now?
You are so well-informed, what do you think that thing is coming from?"
Gu Xiaole really didn't know how to answer this question, so he deliberately said he didn't know.
But I felt that it was a bit embarrassing to say this in front of a few little girls, so I had to hold my head and said:
"I suspect that there is some unknown large creature hiding deep in the jungle of this island. I can tell from the sound that this animal must be very big.
Maybe it’s some kind of wild alien species left over from ancient times!”
Lin Jiao listened with interest to Gu Xiaole's far-fetched explanation and quickly asked:
"Is it really like in the Jurassic movie, are there any ancient creatures similar to dinosaurs on this island?"
"That's hard to say, but we can't rule out the possibility!" Gu Xiaole continued to make up the story matter-of-factly.
However, Ning Lei, who had always been quite unconvinced with Gu Xiaole, immediately raised objections:
"What kind of ancient creatures are wild and alien? Jurassic? I even said they were aliens!"
Gu Xiaole grinned and said without anger: "You said what I said was wrong.
Okay then, tell us what the strange noise was just now?"
Of course Ning Lei didn't know how to answer, but it was like two trolls arguing with each other on the Internet.
What is right? Sometimes it doesn’t matter at all! As long as I can prove you wrong, that’s enough!
Ning Lei's current situation is the same. She has experience fighting with Gu Xiaole's nonsense and smiles frivolously.
He brushed the somewhat scattered hair between his forehead with his long and narrow fingers and said:
"The strange noise just now came from the deepest part of the island, at least 20 kilometers away from us.
Let me ask you, what animal's cry can travel so far? Even if it calls with a loudspeaker, it won't be able to do it, right?"
Seeing that Gu Xiaole couldn't answer, Ning Lei became even more proud:
"I said that the sound just now should be similar to the huge vacuum produced by a giant air compressor when doing engineering work.
That’s why there is such a loud roar of airflow!”
Ning Lei's explanation is somewhat specious and seems to answer the question.
In fact, it's like saying nothing, but you can't say that what she said doesn't make sense at all.
In response, Gu Xiaole had no choice but to shake his head and admit defeat and said: "Okay! If you say it's a machine, it's a machine, right?
Anyway, you, Miss Ning, have a big brain. I just don’t know that on this deserted island,
What would anyone do with such a giant air compressor?”
"Okay, okay! You two should stop arguing now. The sun is almost setting.
Where shall we sleep tonight?”
Lin Rui was more concerned about the overall situation and asked the two bullies who were still arguing.
Yes, Gu Xiaole saw through the gaps in the jungle leaves that the sun in the sky had long disappeared.
Although there was still plenty of sunlight falling through the mottled forest, it was already getting late.
He looked around and saw that the location they were in was relatively less densely forested.
The terrain is also relatively flat and seems to be more suitable for camping.
"Yeah!" Gu Xiaole nodded and said, "Let's spend the night here tonight.
As for tomorrow... let’s talk about it later!”
"Is it right here?" Ning Lei looked around and asked with a grin:
"But there are neither caves nor shacks or treehouses here. Where should we sleep?"
Gu Xiaole chuckled: "My eldest lady, do you really think I am taking you on vacation?
Where to sleep? On the ground, of course. There are countless layers of leaves piled on the ground.
No problem, it should be very comfortable for you to sleep on!"
Gu Xiaole knelt down and patted the thick fallen leaves on the ground with his hands and said.
"Wow, it's really good! It really feels like sleeping on a Simmons mattress!"
Lin Jiao, the youngest and the most optimistic by nature, sat down on the leaves and said happily.
But Gu Xiaole waved his hand and said, "No, you can't sleep directly like this!"
"Why?" Lin Jiao and Lin Rui both looked at him strangely and asked.
"Look!" Gu Xiaole picked up a branch and poked it in the leaves where Lin Jiao had just been lying.
Good guy, this poke doesn't matter, a big fiery red centipede that's more than ten centimeters long crawled out from inside!
This centipede was obviously frightened, and it quickly waved its abdominal legs that caused an attack of trypophobia and fled into the distance.
"Oh my God!" The little girl Lin Jiao was so frightened that she screamed and jumped up.
"Brother Xiaole, aren't all the leaves under our feet filled with snakes, insects, rats, and ants?"
Looking at Lin Rui on the side who was also frightened, Gu Xiaole nodded and said:
"Absolutely? This is a tropical jungle, with many types of animals and plants, so you just lie down on the leaves and sleep.
Maybe there will be some bugs, venomous snakes, etc. crawling into your body along your trouser legs and sleeves at night, crawling on your jade-white arms and thighs..."
Ning Lei, who had been silent next to her, turned paler the more she listened. From what he said, her skin seemed to be covered with all kinds of weird bugs...
Finally, he suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop! Stop! Gu Xiaole, please stop talking! If you keep talking, I will go crazy!"
Why don't you tell me quickly where we will sleep tonight?"
Her shouting also reminded the Lin sisters next to her, and the two girls also looked at Gu Xiaole expectantly.
Gu Xiaole actually wanted this effect, and thought proudly in his heart:
Huh! Ning Lei, aren’t you awesome? Now you know how scared you are!
Of course, he can't show this kind of pride on his face.
He just continued to say seriously:
"Actually? It's nothing. Let's find some more wormwood to light. Then just like I just did, pat the place where you want to sleep with a stick or something.
After scaring away all the small animals, surround them with lit wormwood.
This will prevent some small animals that come out in the middle of the night from disturbing your jade body!"
After Gu Xiaole's words, the three girls were extremely motivated to work this time, and they all rushed to beat the leaves on the ground.
As expected, strange bugs, snakes, and some small animals such as field mice were driven out of their nests one after another by them, and they had to flee their homes and flee elsewhere.
After a while, mugwort was lit on fire where each of the three girls was going to sleep.
He surrounded his bed firmly.
Gu Xiaole, who was watching them busy with all this, leaned leisurely against a fallen tree stump.
Holding a branch from somewhere in his mouth, he watched several beauties busy about...
There was also a little monkey named Gold sitting on his shoulder, eating a picked berry from time to time just as leisurely as him.
But it probably couldn't understand what the girls were doing, so it grinned and gestured with Gu Xiaole while eating berries, as if asking questions.
"Huang Jin, you wonder what your sisters are doing, right?
Well, they are afraid that something thin and long will get into their bodies at night, so they are busy there!
Oh, you ask uncle why I am not busy? Hey, can I be like them? I am a man!
I’m not afraid of that kind of thing!”
Gu Xiaole was chatting to the little monkey with such a playful smile, which made Ning Lei, who was busy making the bed beside her, so angry that her nose almost became crooked.
But it was hard to argue with him. The Lin sisters were not as pretentious as she was.
After Lin Jiao made the bed, she looked at Gu Xiaole and asked:
"Captain, we have been running all afternoon. We are tired and hungry. Is it time to light a fire and have some dinner now?"
Gu Xiaole nodded noncommittally and said:
"It's okay to have dinner, but it's definitely not okay to light a fire!"
