  众人加速撤退,渐渐地远离了尸虫和猫狐的战斗区域。
  峡谷里又慢慢地恢复了宁静,原本存在着的风声和尸虫、猫狐的撕斗声都仿佛已销声匿迹,只有在空荡荡的、带有血腥味的空气中,不时扩散着几声无所寻觅的怪叫呜咽声,似乎是生命最后的挣扎,又似乎是临死前的求救。
  乌云同样还在将阳光遮住,似乎正在进行着最后的酝酿,整片大地还被笼罩在黑暗里,树林原有的张牙舞爪也浸泡在一片死光之中,显得那么颓然无力。
  众人都已经走得精疲力竭,浑身无力。苏珊忽地停下了脚步,双手叉着腰,流着泪水气喘吁吁地说:“Can't walk any more... I really... I really can't go any further!(走不动了……我真的……真的走不动了!)”
  凯丽连忙一把扶住了她,急问道:“Susan! How are you doing?(苏珊!你怎么样了?)”
  苏珊左手叉着腰,伸出右手摆了摆,摇着头叹息道:“I really can't walk any more. I feel like I'm dying!(我真的走不动了,感觉自己就要快死了一样!)”
  木子喘着气说:“If you don't go, you'll really die!(你要是不走,才真的会死!)”
  高晓飞吓唬她说:“Either become a mummified corpse, or watch oneself live by the cat fox eat every piece of flesh on the body, then become a pile of bones!(要么变成干尸,要么就眼睁睁地看着自己活生生被猫狐吃完身体上的每一块肉,然后变成一堆白骨!)”
  苏珊只吓得心胆俱裂,努力打起精神,在凯丽的扶持下,又开始向着峡谷外围退去。
  “Kelly! If I go any further, I really will die!(凯丽!再走下去,我真的会死了!)”苏珊张着嘴巴在喘气,几乎迈不开脚步了。
  “Susan!Hold on a minute, we'll soon be out of ghost Valley. Come on, give me the gun and the backpack.(苏珊!你再支持一会,我们很快就穿出幽灵谷了,来,把枪和背包给我。)”凯丽帮她把步枪和战术背包解下。
  “The fairy! Let me carry the gun and backpack.(仙女!把枪和背包让我来背。)”高晓飞接过苏珊的装备背上。
  “Kelly! I really... Is really a little strength is not!(凯丽!我真的……真的是一点力气都没有了!)”苏珊已经是用力过度而虚脱了。
  “Kelly! Let me carry her.(凯丽!让我来背她吧。)”甄子枫把自己的装备往胸前一挂。
  凯丽点了点头,把苏珊扶上了甄子枫的后背,众人又一齐向外退去。
  高晓飞心里暗笑:疯子终于舍得拿出中国人乐于助人的传统美德了!
  江若溪说道:“Come on, it's afternoon now, and if you can't get out of the canyon before dark, what will happen!(快走吧,现在已经是下午的时间了,如果在天黑之前走不出峡谷,后果不堪设想!)”
  萧问天在前面引路,说道:“Hang in there for a while, and when we're out of the canyon, we'll be able to find somewhere to camp.(大家坚持一会,等出了峡谷,我们才能够找地方扎营休整。)”
  又走了一个多小时,乌云正在渐渐地散开,天空中也渐渐透露出光亮,两面的悬崖绝壁已经看得清楚,再也不像先前一样高耸得直插云霄了。
  萧问天抬腕看了看手表,见到指针已开始走动,只是时间已然不准确,连忙回头说道:“We're out of the magnetic field. We should be near the canyon exit.(我们已经走出磁场的范围,不远处应该就到峡谷出口了。)”
  大家都是精神一振,不由自主地加快了脚步。
  忽然,一丝阳光刺破苍穹,翻滚着的乌云慢慢地退出了天空,一点一点地将阳光呈现出来,此刻,正是太阳西斜之时,落日开始泛出橙红色的光芒。
  “You see, that's the end of the canyon.(你们看,那边就是峡谷的尽头了。)”走在前面的萧问天说。
  “We're out at last, out of ghost Valley!(我们终于走出来了,终于走出幽灵谷了!)”木子兴高采烈地欢呼起来。
  苏珊只感到精神一振,说道:“The madman! Are you tired? Put me down.(疯子!你累不累?放我下来吧。)”
  甄子枫连忙摇头说:“I'm not tired. You can come down when you get to the front.(我不累,到了前面一点你再下来。)”
  苏珊由衷地感激:“The madman! Thank you very much.(疯子!谢谢你!)”
  高晓飞心里暗笑:疯子不敢去招惹木子,是不是反过来想去泡苏珊了?他现在肯定舍不得放这洋妞下来,苏珊不但人漂亮,而且胸大,压在他背上就是一种享受,怎么可能会觉得累?更何况疯子壮得就像一头牛!想归想,但这些话可是万万不敢随便说出口的。高晓飞想着想着,不由得傻笑起来,脑海里闪过了以前在林海雪原上背着凯丽时的温馨画面,竟然也自得其乐,想得如痴如醉。
  终于走出了峡谷口,众人回望幽灵谷,竟是恍似梦中,如梦一场,那一刻刻的生死瞬间又在脑海里回放,都忍不住心生感慨。
  又走了一会,一条山溪流水斜刺里穿了过来。溪流出现得很突然,就好像一抬头间,眼前就出现了一条清澈无比的山溪。流水从乱石、巨石间挤出、泻去,哗哗作响。水在石头上蹦跳,翻出洁白的水花,水色如玉,更是滋生出绿洲一片。两边的岩石下,处处都往下渗着水,叮叮咚咚地响着,水珠儿一串一串,像极了挂满一排排晶莹剔透的珠帘。带着花香的微风轻轻拂过,西斜的阳光透过缝隙流下,照射在奔腾的溪水上,更像是闪闪发光的粉妆。
  众人欢呼起来,情不自禁地奔到溪水中,掬起一捧水,或把脸埋进水中,清凉的溪水瞬间洗走了风尘和劳累,只剩下了凉凉的快意。
  在落日阳光的照射下,原始森林就像是画家笔下的一幅画,古老神秘的峡谷丛林,溪瀑纵横的奇山峻岭,梦寐以求的人间仙境,美妙和谐的自然风物,当用心灵和视觉来感受尖峰峻岭时,体能的疲乏、心灵的胆颤、原始的震撼,都远远地被森林的大美抛在了一边。对于人类来说,森林就是一切的生命之源,当一种文化达到成熟或过熟时,它就必须返回森林,如果有一种文化错误地冒犯了森林,生物的衰败也就不可避免了。
  沿着山溪又行了好一会,听到远处隐隐约约传来了瀑布的冲击声,几个女孩精神振奋,一齐加速了脚步。
  又转过一个山坳,众人的眼前突然出现了一条银白色的带子,犹如从天而降的瀑布带着怒吼冲进了下面的水潭里,目测两米左右宽度的瀑布,但落差足有一百多米,非常壮观。
  “飞流直下三千尺,疑是银河落九天!”木子忍不住吟出了这首千古绝句。
  几个女孩欢呼雀跃,一齐向着瀑布跑去。
  瀑布下是一个四百平方米左右的水潭,瀑布水经过水潭后又向下流去。瀑布挂在悬崖绝壁上,其余三面都被密密麻麻的大树覆盖着,却在出水口侧面的一处高洼地上、留下了一片不算很大的清清绿草,非常优雅舒适。
  萧问天指着草坪说:“We'll camp out there tonight.Xiaofei maniac!You patrol a circle or two along the pool, making sure it is safe, while the rest tidy up the camp.(今晚我们就在那里扎营休整。晓飞疯子!你们沿着水潭巡查一两圈,务必要确保安全,其余的人整理营地。)”
  夕阳的余辉突然间穿过了沉寂的风沙乌云,瞬间射在了远处的天际之外,渺渺瀚海渐渐退去,如血的残阳给这个人间仙境披上了一抹金黄,一会儿又变成桔红,金碧辉煌中现出几分神秘、几分庄严,更引起了无限遐想!
  凯丽说道:“老爸!这里的环境,倒是很像中国藏南。”
  萧问天点了点头:“这里到中国藏南的直线距离也就三四百公里,环境气候都是一样的。”
  凯丽打开卫星信号校对了手表,立即又把信号关停,以免被雇佣兵搜索到位置。
  高晓飞和甄子枫巡逻了两圈转了回来,报告说:“老大!周围生活的都是一些食草动物,应该没有太大的危险。”
  萧问天点了点头:“Mercenary crossing ghost Valley will take a long time, so it will be hard to catch up with us. We'll have a good night's rest and start the journey tomorrow morning.(雇佣兵想要穿过幽灵谷,得花上很长的一段时间,应该很难追得上我们了。我们好好休整一晚,明天一早再赶路。)”
  苏珊连忙问道:“The boss! Do you think mercenaries can cross Ghost Valley?(老大!你说,雇佣兵能穿过幽灵谷吗?)”
  凯丽道:“If they were to enter the Valley of the Spirits, it would be morning by tomorrow, and if they were to enter at night, they would not be enough of a body worm to get beyond cat-Fox territory.(就算他们要进幽灵谷,那也是明天天亮的事了,要是晚上进去的话,他们那点人还真不够喂尸虫,根本就走不到猫狐的地盘。)”
  木子心有余悸地感叹道:“We had a narrow escape, too. They don't have to have that luck!(我们也是九死一生才侥幸逃了出来,他们可不一定有这种运气!)”
  苏珊狠狠地骂道:“Better let the corpse worms eat them up!(让尸虫吃光他们更好!)”
  甄子枫分析道:“If you want to cross the Valley of the Ghost like us, you have to cross the three deadly gates of Miasma, corpse worm and cat fox. In terms of the equipment of Black Wolf and Blackwater, it should be ok, but it depends on their brains and how to use the equipment;As for the Mafia, even gas masks are not configured, they couldn't even walk out of the malaria area, it must not to be able to wear, if they really want to jointly pursue, the number is too much is not good, even if they all come in, also can have some of whom were resin worm as fox and the cat food, or become a mummy, or become bones.So it wasn't so easy for them to chase through the Valley of the Phantom.(要像我们一样穿越幽灵谷,就得穿越瘴气、尸虫和猫狐三大鬼门关,以黑狼和黑水军团的装备来说,应该还是可以的,但还要看他们脑子够不够用,怎么运用装备;至于黑手党,就连防毒面具都没有配置,他们甚至走不出瘴气区,那肯定穿不过来,如果他们真要三方联合追击,人数太多了也不好周旋,就算他们都进来了,也会有一部分人被尸虫和猫狐当成了食物,或变成干尸,又或变成白骨。所以,他们想要穿越幽灵谷追上来,并不是那么容易。)”
  江若溪道:“Madman analysis is reasonable, tonight, we finally can have a good rest!(疯子分析得有道理,今晚上,我们终于可以好好休息了!)”
  “对了!”高晓飞一拍双手,笑着说道,“There are a lot of big fish competing in the surf at the outlet. Let's have a nice roast fish tonight!(出水口那边,有很多的大鱼正在比赛冲浪,咱们今晚可以美美地吃上一顿烤鱼了!)”
  几个女孩一听说有鱼捉,连忙解下装备,一窝蜂地涌了过去,果然看见很多大鱼从溪流下游逆水而上,然后争先恐后地冲进水潭里。
  女孩们欢呼大叫,毫不迟疑地脱掉军靴,一齐跳进溪水里捉起鱼来。
  萧问天、高晓飞和甄子枫捡了一大堆的枯枝残木回来,又围绕着草坪扎起了七座帐篷,却在帐篷外围十多米的地方上布置了电子警戒线,以防在猛兽偷袭时能够及时预警。然后在中间点起了篝火,又来到溪水边,把女孩们捉上来的鱼杀了清洗干净。
  众人连日来忙于奔命,生死存亡之间无暇顾及自身的安危,如今得以放松下来,个个都感到周身伤痕累累,惨不忍睹,从头到脚每一个部位,甚至于每一处关节都在痛不可忍。大家拿出药箱,互相给对方包扎伤口上药。
  七人围坐在篝火前烤鱼,月色淡淡,照在水面上发着银光,烤鱼的香味也弥漫了整个空间。
  “Oh, my God, this smells so good!(天哪,这太香了!)”苏珊忍不住吸了吸鼻子。
  木子用军刀割了一块鱼肉,吹了吹,迫不及待地丢进嘴里,只把她烫得不停地搅动着嘴巴,一边却含含糊糊地咿咿呀呀道:“It smells good... It smells good... It's delicious!(好香……好香……太好吃了!)”
  凯丽忍不住好笑,拍了拍她的后背,说道:“You slow down to eat, there are plenty of fish, no one with you to rob!(你慢点吃,鱼多得是,没人跟你抢!)”
  木子“嗒吧”了几下嘴巴,把热乎乎的烤鱼肉吞下,伸出舌头舔了几下嘴唇,这才赞道:“Good taste!Good taste!The fairy!You don't understand, but the first bite is the best, so I can't let you get ahead of me.(好味道!好味道!仙女!你不懂了吧?但凡第一口的味道就是最好的,所以我不能让你们抢了先。)”说完忍不住“咯咯”娇笑。
  高晓飞忍不住好笑:“Foodies are foodies!Dumb blonde!But your eating manner is very unelegant, just like the way sun monkey steals peaches.(吃货就是吃货!木子美女!可你的吃相非常不雅观,像孙猴子偷吃仙桃的样子。)”
  木子倒也不恼,只是看了一眼高晓飞,质问道:“Why are you raising monkey again?Can you under stand journey to the West?Can you understand the four great Classics of China?(你怎么又提孙猴子!你看懂《西游记》了吗?看懂中国的四大古典名著了吗?)”
  高晓飞争辩道:“You can't look down upon me, Before I was not much love, of course, than you, but these years a time, I almost every day bubble in the eldest brother's study study of Chinese history and the four classic.(你可不要小看我,以前我是不太爱看,当然就比不过你,可这几年一有时间,我几乎天天都泡在老大的书房里研究中国历史和四大古典名著。)”
  木子笑道:“Ouch!Unexpectedly all used research, this young lady wants to compare with you today, see you after all research to what state?(哎哟!居然都用上研究了,本小姐今天倒要和你比一比,看看你到底研究到什么境界了?)”
  高晓飞一挺身子:“Compare, who is afraid of who!(比就比,谁怕谁!)”
  木子咬了一口烤鱼,指着高晓飞,含含糊糊地说道:“Okay, don't be lazy like you used to be?(说好了,不许像以前一样耍赖?)”
  高晓飞笑道:“Never be lazy, never be lazy, as the fairy can testify.(不耍赖,绝对不耍赖,仙女可以作证。)”
  木子嘟着嘴说道:“The fairy is your man. Of course she will help you.(仙女可是你的人,她当然会帮着你。)”
  凯丽笑道:“No help, no help, we can all testify, you than.(不帮不帮,我们大家都可以作证,你们比吧。)”
  萧问天知道木子对于中国历史和典故都研究得非常透彻,倒也很想看看她的见解,就笑着说道:“You guys, I'll take the rap. Just think of it as a fun, celebratory escape from Ghost Valley.(你们比吧,我来当裁判,就当是一次娱乐,庆祝一下我们成功逃出幽灵谷。)”
  “All right! (好!)”众人一齐鼓掌。
  “Wonderful !(太好了!)”木子高兴地一拍手,看着高晓飞笑道,“I'm not afraid you're being lazy.(这就不怕你耍赖了。)”
  高晓飞一伸手,豪爽地笑道:“Beauty first, muzi beautiful female! You go ahead and write the problem.(美女优先,木子美女!你先出题吧。)”
  苏珊并不了解中国文化,但也明白他们要互相比赛,也非常有兴致,连忙说道:“You speak slowly. Let me study, too.(你们说慢点,让我也学习学习。)”
  木子一笑,对着高晓飞说道:“The theme of the four Classic Chinese works is love, the theme of The Three Kingdoms is contention, the theme of the Water Margin is righteousness, and the theme of the Journey to the West is enlightenment.The Three Kingdoms play with calculation, the water margin plays with loyalty, the Red Chamber plays with emotion, and the Journey to the West plays with sensibility. If you were asked to comment on the four Great Classics, how would you comment?(中国古典四大名著,红楼的主题是情,三国的主题是争,水浒的主题是义,西游的主题是悟;三国玩的是心计,水浒玩的是义气,红楼玩的是感情,西游玩的是感性,如果让你去点评四大名著,你会怎样去评?)”
  高晓飞眼都大了,苦笑道:“I...How do I know what to say?I thought you were going to test me on the plot of the book?(我……我怎么懂得什么点评啊!我以为你要考我书中的情节呢?)”
  木子笑道:“Therefore, you don't understand the Four Great classics at all. Chinese culture is extensive and profound. To read a book, you need to understand its connotations and learn how to comment on its connotations.(所以你根本就没有读懂四大名著,中华文化博大精深,你读书就要读懂书中的内涵,要学着怎样去点评书中的含义。)”
  高晓飞好奇地问道:“How do you comment on the four masterpieces?(那你又是怎样去点评四大名著的?)”
  木子笑了笑,对着萧问天道:“老大!木子要在你面前班门弄斧了。”
  高晓飞道:“没事没事,你说吧,最多也就是关公面前耍大刀而已。”
  萧问天看了看高晓飞,笑道:“木子!你放开了说,也好让他知道人上有人,天外有天。”
  苏珊连声抗议:“Speak English, speak English.(说英语,说英语。)”她已经完全听得入迷了。
  “This sentence is not good, because the translation is not accurate, more later.(这句不行,因为翻译不准确,后面再说。)”木子看着苏珊一笑,用汉语说道:“如果从感情来评说,三国在国,治国、兴国、安国、丧国;水浒在气,勇气、义气、豪气、霸气;红楼在情,亲情、爱情、宦情、民情;西游在趣,情趣、游趣、野趣、妖趣。”
  “评得好!这算是四大名著的神点评!”萧问天笑着称赞一声。
  苏珊又着急地说:“The boss! Speak English!(老大!说英语嘛!)”
  “OK!”萧问天看了她一眼,说道,“If you say from the essence, Red building, I have someone on top;Water margin, I have people on the mountain;Journey to the West, I have someone in heaven: three kingdoms, I have some people.(如果从精华来评说,红楼,我上头有人;水浒,我山上有人;西游,我天上有人:三国,我有的是人。)”
  木子一拍双手,笑道:“To judge from the difference, The Three Kingdoms wrote a reform;Water margin wrote an impulse;Honglou wrote a love affair;Journey to the West wrote a journey.(如果从区别来评说,三国写了一次变革;水浒写了一次冲动;红楼写了一场恋爱;西游写了一次旅行。)”
  “好!”萧问天又是一声称赞,说道,“Journey to the West, wrote the story of two people and three animals;A dream of Red Mansions tells the story of a man and a group of women;Water margin, wrote a group of men and three women's story, the romance of The Three Kingdoms, wrote the story of three men and the war.(《西游记》,写了两个人和三只动物的故事;《红楼梦》,写了一个男人和一群女人的故事;《水浒传》,写了一群男人和三个女人的故事,《三国演义》,写了三个男人和战争的故事。)”
  木子拍手叫好,开唱道:“The river flows eastward, and my sister worries a lot.East of the Yangtze River, the Monkey King heart leisurely.Read The Three Kingdoms is a dream, see through the red building will become crazy.Also laughed at the dog for scriptures, ridicule Liangshan no hero.(大河向东流,妹妹几多愁。长江东逝水,猴王心悠悠。再读三国皆是梦,看破红楼定成疯。也曾妄笑取经狗,调侃梁山无英雄。)”
  萧问天哈哈大笑:“Okay, you're the literary version!There is no place to find shoes, get all the time.(好,你这是文艺版!踏破铁鞋无觅处,得来全不费工夫。)”
  木子一笑,说道:“Let the water be three thousand, I will take only one ladle of water.(任凭弱水三千,我只取一瓢饮。)”
  萧问天道:“Better teach me to negate the world than teach the world to negate me.(宁教我负天下人,莫教天下人负我。)”
  木子接口道:“The emperor will take turns and come to my house next year.(皇帝轮流做,明年到我家。)”
  萧问天一笑收句:“世事洞明皆学问,人情练达即文章。”他这一句却又自然而然说成了汉语。
  众人一齐鼓掌叫好。
  木子站了起来,诚恳地说道:“老大!木子受教了。”
  “木子!你对中国古典文学的研究非常透彻,以你的年龄,有如此的学识和认知,的确是不简单,可喜可贺!”萧问天对于木子的学识非常欣赏。
  江若溪对着木子一竖大拇指,称赞道:“木子!你真棒!”
  凯丽一把抱着木子,笑道:“我们的木子小姐不但人漂亮,学识更是渊博!”
  高晓飞接口说道:“人家可是学霸!就是太野蛮、太生猛了!”
  木子瞪了他一眼:“你才野蛮。”
  萧问天站了起来,说道:“好,你们玩吧,记住把鱼全烤了,这可是后续的口粮;我去查查岗,周围巡查一下。”
  江若溪也站了起来:“老大!我陪你去。”
  萧问天点了点头:“好,走吧。”两人拿了武器,沿着水潭一路巡视。
  “Ah! Why do you speak Chinese again?(哎!你们怎么又说中文了!)”苏珊无奈地叹息。
  看着萧问天和江若溪走了,高晓飞这才对着木子双手一抱拳,笑道:“Dumb blonde!Admire!You're so good, I can't beat you at this!I give myself up.(木子美女!佩服佩服!算你厉害,这方面真比不过你!在下甘拜下风。)”
  木子不客气地笑道:“In what way do you think you can beat me? Let's do it again.(你认为有哪方面能比得过我,咱们再比过。)”
  高晓飞一握拳头,在木子的眼前一晃,慢慢地侧过身去,摆了一个侧头去想的造型,装着一本正经的样子说道:“Let me think it over.(容我再想想。)”
  木子一拍他的肩膀,笑道:“Oops, fist bump, right?That need not think, with the girl fist what ability, have ability, let's compare a pectoral muscle, see whose pectoral muscle is bigger?(哎哟,用拳头示威是不是?那就不用想了,和女生比拳头算什么本事,有本事,我们来比一比胸肌,看谁的胸肌更大?)”说着,拍了拍胸脯。她自小就在国外长大,所接受的也都是西方教育,两性之间的话题却也不太在意。
  “Than chest muscle?(比胸肌?)”高晓飞惊呼了一声,顿时哭笑不得,连忙双手乱摇,苦着脸说道:
  “Dumb blonde!Will you stop teasing me?For the life of me I dare not compare with the beauty pecs big, you seek fairies and Susan to compare!I have self-knowledge, not to participate!(木子美女!你就别逗我了好吗?打死我都不敢和美女比胸肌大啊,你找仙女和苏珊去比吧!我有自知之明,就不参与了!)”
  “哈哈哈哈!”凯丽和苏珊只笑得前俯后仰,连泪水都笑出来了。甄子枫却红着脸不敢笑出声。
  死寂的夜,凉风轻拂而过,摇曳着整片原始森林。万籁俱寂,天地之间空旷而广阔,唯有孤独的弯月远远地凝望着这安静的夜,大自然深浸在酣梦之中,静悄悄地孕育着一个不安宁的夜晚。
  朦朦胧胧之中,萧问天似乎感觉到原始森林中有着一股似有似无的压力袭来,梦境中好像看见黑暗处涌过来一股黑雾,黑雾里似乎有一只长形怪物张着血盆大口猛扑过来。他突然间一惊而醒,只感到出了一身冷汗。
  他定了定神,再侧耳细听,却又什么都没有,只听到帐篷外面的风声吹动树叶的沙沙声。他睁开双眼,看到外面的篝火已然熄灭,但火炭还是烧得很旺盛。他轻轻地抬手看了看手表,离天亮已经不远了。
  萧问天轻轻地拉开睡袋,钻了出来,拿起手枪,轻轻地拉上保险,又轻轻地拉开了帐篷门帘,一手拿枪,一手拿着强光手电,一闪身出了帐篷。
  帐篷的外围,更是黑沉沉的一遍死寂,那弯诡异的钩月早已不知不觉地藏进了云层里,仿佛在恐惧着什么,惨白的光变成了无底的暗,翻滚着的阴云带着梦魔遮住了仅有的一点点光晕,万物都在随风发抖,在这样阴森恐怖的黑夜,似乎是死神的宴会。
  黎明前的黑暗,周围的森林里一片死寂,但帐篷中间篝火的余光仍然把帐篷围着的区域照亮。萧问天快速地审视了一遍,另外六个帐篷都没有异样,心里稍稍安定。他正要侧身转出外围查看,只见对面帐篷一动,却是江若溪闪身钻了出来。
  “老大!什么情况?”江若溪轻轻喊了一声,她同样也是在睡梦中感觉到了有无以名状的压力袭来。
  “没有发现。”萧问天摇了摇头。
  只见一个帐篷门帘一揭,甄子枫闪身而出,向着萧问天和江若溪靠了过来。
  “老大!若溪姐!”甄子枫轻轻地喊道。
  三人互相一点头,心中已明其意。他们三个都是特种兵出身,长期接受特殊的军事训练,军人特有的直觉让他们的感知能力超乎常人。
  萧问天一招手,三人慢慢地走出帐篷之外,一齐打开强光手电,向着森林的黑暗之中照了过去,却什么也没有发现。搜索了十多米左右,已经是出了警戒线,走在前面的萧问天突然停下了脚步,手电光束停留在了一处草丛上。
  江若溪和甄子枫顺着他的手电光束看了过去,三个人都倒抽了一口凉气,只见草丛被压贴了一段五六十厘米宽的位置,长长地通向黑暗处,在强光手电的照射下,显得深不可测,似乎一直通向深不见底的无底深渊。
  “是巨蟒!”甄子枫轻轻地惊呼一声。
  萧问天低下头去,凑近草丛吸了吸鼻子,压低了声音说道:“它应该刚离开不久,就在刚才,我似乎看见了它的影子。”想起刚才的梦境,忍不住心生恐惧。
  江若溪轻声道:“这里生活的,应该是缅甸蟒,它们是一种夜行性蛇类,体形巨大,那可是世界上最大的蟒蛇!”
  甄子枫道:“如果按照被压草丛的宽度来估算,它的体重应该达到了一百五十公斤,真要攻击人的话,还真的不容易对付!”
  萧问天用强光手电顺着被压出的凹痕照了过去,一直照到了黑暗处,说道:“它既然来到这里又退了回去,说明了它并不打算攻击我们,又或者是它闻到了篝火的味道而放弃,总之它是暂时离开了,甚至没有触动警戒线!”
  江若溪道:“如此说来,这条巨蟒已经生成了灵性,或许这里就是它们的地盘,它过来就是要警告我们的!”
  甄子枫低声惊呼道:“说不定真成精了!”
  萧问天感慨道:“不管怎么说,它还是走开了;我们先回去,晓飞和凯丽他们都起来了。”
  三人回到帐篷边,高晓飞、凯丽和木子一齐迎了上来,苏珊也正好钻出了帐篷。
  萧问天和江若溪又沿着水潭边巡视过去。甄子枫则把发现有巨蟒活动的事情对着高晓飞、凯丽、木子和苏珊说了一遍,只把四人惊得呆在当地,暗叫好险。
  高晓飞道:“If it is easy to deal with in the daytime, there should be no difficulty in dealing with a python, the snake is a python, the python is a boa, the boa is a dumpling, the dumpling is a dragon, even the real dragon we have faced, are you still afraid of a python?I am afraid that it will not know in the evening, the ghost will come to sneak attack, really was it swallowed down half a body to wake up, that can be a tragedy!(要是白天还好办,对付一条巨蟒应该没什么难度,蛇大为蟒,蟒大为蚺,蚺大为蛟,蛟大为龙,连真龙我们都面对过了,难道还怕一条巨蟒吗?就怕它晚上神不知,鬼不觉就过来偷袭,真被它吞下去半个身体才醒过来的话,那可就悲剧了!)”
  凯丽一拍肩膀上挎着的HKM27步兵自动步枪,狠狠地说道:“If it eats you, I'll kill it.(它要是敢吞你,我就敢杀了它。)”
  高晓飞叹息道:“If it did swallow me, I wouldn't survive if you killed it.The fairy!I don't want you to be a widow before you get through!(它要是真把我吞下去的话,你杀了它我也活不过来了。仙女!我可不希望你还没过门就变成了寡妇!)”
  凯丽一把扯住高晓飞的耳朵,笑骂道:“You're a widow!(你才寡妇呢!)”
  高晓飞只痛得哇哇大叫:“The fairy! Pain pain pain! Hush, hush!(仙女!痛痛痛!轻点轻点!)”
  木子踢了他一脚,也笑着骂道:“Can't you just say something nice?Kelly is a fairy. Does she have to marry you?(你就不能说点好听的吗?凯丽是仙女,难道就非得要嫁给你才行吗?)”
  高晓飞捂着被扯痛的耳朵,嘻嘻笑道:“Let me just make an analogy!I'm the perfect fairy. We're the perfect match.(我就打个比方嘛!我是最合适仙女的,我们简直就是天仙配。)”
  甄子枫忍耐不住笑了出来,一拍高晓飞的肩膀,说道:“Don't worry, the boa constrictor will not dare to swallow you.(放心吧,巨蟒肯定是不敢吞你的。)”
  苏珊不明所以,疑惑地问道:“Why does the boa constrictor dare not swallow him?(巨蟒为什么不敢吞他?)”
  甄子枫笑道:“Can't you see he's got a thick skin?And the kind that is too thick to digest. It will burst its belly and kill it!(你没看到他脸皮超厚吗?而且还是厚得无法消化的那种,会把巨蟒肚子撑爆撑死的!)”
  苏珊一伸舌头,三个女孩都忍耐不住,一齐捧腹大笑。
  萧问天和江若溪巡视了一圈返回营地,听到他们几个笑声爽朗,连忙问道:“What makes you so happy?(什么事这么开心?)”
  高晓飞迎了上去,笑道:“They all picked up money and made a fortune in the dream, can not be happy?(他们都在梦里捡到钱发财了,能不高兴吗?)”
  凯丽、木子和苏珊一听,再次忍不住又是捧腹大笑。
  天朦朦亮,此时的天际间,已是微露蛋白,云彩赶集似的聚集在天边,像是浸了血,显出了淡淡的红色。
  萧问天看了看天空,说道:“We can't stay here. Pack your gear. Get out of here.(这里不能待了,收拾装备,马上撤离。)”
  高晓飞问道:“Is this really the land of the pythons?(难道,这里真是巨蟒的地盘?)”
  江若溪点了点头说:“According to our detailed observation, we must have accidentally entered the python's territory, so we must leave immediately.(据详细观察,应该是我们无意中闯入了巨蟒的地盘,所以,我们必须马上离开。)”
  众人收拾装备,把昨晚的烤鱼全部打包装好,每人分带了一大包,随即出发。
  萧问天拿出指南针校对方向,一行七人继续穿越在幽静恐怖的原始森林之中。(未完待续)
