Chapter 19 I don’t want to live anymore

Maomu climbed the tree very quickly and was up in twos and twos.

This is a huge fine-leaved banyan tree. The trunk needs to be surrounded by two to hug it. The lowest branch is more than three meters high from the ground.

Banyan trees, palm trees and oil palms are the most common trees here.

The trunk of the Wangtian tree is smooth and straight upward, making it difficult to climb.

Oil palms are relatively low and are not suitable for climbing up to see far away.

They chose the banyan tree. Lin Yan, who had never climbed a tree before, felt that if he were an adult, he would not be able to climb up on his own strength.

"Old Hei, can you climb up?"

"It was possible before, but now it's difficult."

"Can Maomu take me up there?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Hei said unsurely: "It should be possible."

Twenty minutes later, Mao Mu came down.

He smiled and said: "Luckily, there are no big bugs on it."

"Take me there quickly." Lin Yan became excited. He could finally see further. Ever since he opened his eyes, he could only see what was in front of him every day. It was too difficult to see further.

Mao Mu put Lin Yan on his back, tied him with a hemp rope, and then started to climb up.

Lao Hei stood guard under the tree, looking up and watching them disappear soon.

The branches of the banyan tree are lush and branched. One tree covers the sky and the sun, and the bottom of the tree is shady. Under its cover, only some low weeds grow underneath.

After climbing for more than ten minutes, we finally reached the top.

Mao Mu chose a good position, leaning on the branches of the banyan tree to support his body. He stood up, untied Lin Yan from behind and hugged him to his chest.

Pushing aside the layers of branches and leaves that were blocking the view, Lin Yan could see through.

"Lin Yan, look, over there is the Sun River."

"Yeah, I saw it." Lin Yan nodded, "This tree is so tall, you can see very far."

"Yes, we made the right choice."

Mao Mu has been climbing trees since he was a child and has long understood the scene in the distance.

Lin Yan was different, looking into the distance for the first time.

At a glance, past the lush green trees, there is the broad Sun River, like a silver ribbon dotted on the green land.

On the other side of the Sun River, there is also a green area. The terrain gradually rises, and the ups and downs in the distance can be vaguely seen.

Lin Yan turned his head and looked in another direction. It was still the same scenery.

She refused to give up and changed the direction, wanting to see that side in more detail.

Except for the eye-catching Sun River, everything else is the same.

The area is majestic, lush and beautiful, but there are no big ups and downs, like a plain area.

Write down this direction and everything you see, and ask Pang Bao to leave pictures. Lin Yan said: "Let's change places and look around."

She wanted to find out what the place where the Sun Tribe was like was like.

Mao Mu tied her behind his back and changed her position.

Lin Yan opened his eyes wide and looked carefully. Finally, it was not all green anymore.

"What's over there?"

"I don't know." Maomu said honestly, "It's too far over there. Our people have never been there. I also asked people in the tribe, but they didn't know what it was."

Lin Yan judged the direction. It was in the northwest. There were undulating mountains far away. Some of the mountains were very high. You could see the peaks towering into the sky at a glance.

Some mountains are covered with vegetation. On the western peaks, bare peaks can be seen here and there, which should be rocky mountains.

Imprinting this scene into my mind, I changed the direction again.

Due west is the direction in which they hunt.

Stretching out is a grassland, and there are undulating mountains in the distance.

After walking around and taking a closer look, Lin Yan determined the general situation around him.

Judging from the east side when the sun rises, the Sun River runs roughly north-south.

Along the Sun River Basin is a vast plain area with extensive distribution on both sides and undulating mountains in the distance.

The peaks in the west are tall and straight, with rocky mountains.

There is no edge as far as the eye can see to the east, and the terrain is relatively flat.

The north and south are where the Sun River flows and are the Great Plains.

Far to the north, the Sun River makes a big turn.

This is all I can see. If you want to know more, you have to go there in person to be sure.

The world is vast, and the Sun Tribe is hidden in it. It is very difficult to step out of this area.

Now they live by the water, and the Sun River has nurtured this group of people.

Lin Yan thought that there should be other people or tribes along the Sun River Basin, but the lush forests and various animals blocked people's footsteps.

Human beings are still too weak and insignificant in front of nature.

Lin Yan became even more desperate if he wanted to live his old life again.

The daily self-isolation started. On the way back, Lin Yan was in a low mood and couldn't seem to get excited.

Mao Mu and Lao Hei concentrated on walking, taking precautions and did not notice anything unusual about her.

For two days in a row, Lin Yan was unusually silent, neither talking nor moving.

What she loved most was lying at the entrance of the cave, basking in the sun, without moving for a long time.

The flowers and leaves often come out early and come back late, so no abnormalities were noticed.

But Mu Shi, Lao Hei, and Mao Mu all discovered something unusual.

Not only them, Yeya and the children who came to Lin Yan to learn how to read also noticed the difference.

Shui Sheng was the most perceptive. He was the first to ask Lin Yan, "What's wrong with you?"

Other children gathered around, and they all wanted to know what happened to her.

In the past, she was small, more like a little adult, calm and steady, with bright eyes. Now she is more like a fish out of water on the shore, wilting and losing vitality.

Lin Yan opened his eyes and said weakly, "I don't want to live anymore."

The children around them all widened their eyes.

Ye Ya shouted anxiously: "Why don't you live anymore?"

"That's right, why."

"Life is so good, why don't you want to live anymore?"

…

The children talked all over each other and immediately started to quarrel.

Lin Yan allowed them to make noise without saying a word.

Shuisheng couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "Stop arguing."

After a while, the children calmed down. Shuisheng looked around and said, "You all should be quiet. Don't be in a hurry to speak. Listen to Lin Yan. Don't speak. I'll open your mouth after I say it's okay."

The children nodded with wide eyes.

Shuisheng is the oldest among a group of children. He has gone out with his family many times and is an older child. He has great authority among a group of little carrot heads.

Maintaining order, Shui Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Lin Yan, why don't you want to live? Everyone in the tribe is struggling to survive. Why don't you want to live at such a young age?"

Shuisheng couldn't understand that Lin Yan was so smart and knew so many novel things. This was what he was curious about and yearned for. He wanted to spend more time exploring and discovering.

Lin Yan lazily turned over, changed from lying down to sitting, and said sadly: "It's not a good thing to know too much."

"How to say?"

Seeing Lin Yan's silence, Shui Sheng said again: "If you don't tell us, how will we know what you think and how can we help you."

The other children nodded along and looked at her expectantly.

Looking at the innocent black eyes, Lin Yan suddenly felt that he was too timid.

These children don't understand anything and are full of hope for the future, but she, as an adult, feels sorry for herself, only thinks about herself, and shrinks back when encountering the slightest difficulty.
