Jaga Saksena Pendekar Peniup Bledeg
Chapter 3. Survive

Fatigue makes Jaga Saksena easy to drift in deep sleep.

"Sssss ...!"

It was then, slowly but surely, an animal as big as a pinang tree that was none other than a python and flowers approached the boy's head.

It can be ascertained, once blocked, enter the head of the 10-year-old child into the mouth cavity of the snake.

Only one more fathom left. The python stopped to prepare to use its "hap" style. And ....

Crakk!

Along with the gaping serpent's mouth sliding down, the boy's right hand read out his stone axe.

Suddenly, the big flower python pulled away.

"Bother people to sleep! Go or I skin your body!" snapped Keep Saksena standing brandishing the blood-soaked stone axe.

If it's just a snake, the boy has nothing to fear even though it's big. Snakes are his daily toys.

For a moment the python looked at the boy and then turned its head, crept up and went through a large branch to another tree.

The adjacent trees make this type of snake able to move from one tree to another through the branches that meet each other.

***

In the morning came to greet the squeals of finches.

Keep Saksena awake, checking for wounds that have dried up. Good body power is assisted by a mangkus herb (mujarab_pen).

"I have to find a snake to take his skin. Last night's snake was too big, I'd have to kill it. For he was afraid of my bluff. Hehehehe!"

'I'd better eat first.'

Opening up his supplies, Keep Saksena eating voraciously. It didn't take long to finish one smoked fish to the bones.

'I ate two, but I don't know when to find the river again. Maybe I should try to catch another animal for me to eat. Otherwise, I would have completely run out of supplies!'

Closing back his food supply which now lives 4 fish, Keep Saksena down from the tree.

Up below, with a stone axe, the boy cut off one of the rattan-like trees. From there comes water that can be drunk.

"Just ...!"

Keep Saksena looking into the sunlight that sniffed in through the thick cracks of forest leaves.

"The sun is there, which means I have to go there!"

Keep Saksena step slowly, in addition to the wounds on the feet and the torn footwear also to pay attention to the circumstances around to look for snakes.

Shortly walking, Jaga Saksena found a hole in the ground. Keep the poultice right it's a snake's nest.

Deftly the boy cut off the branching branches.

It only took a few actions, the snake as big as a shiny black arm that was sleeping soundly had been in the grip of Jaga Saksena.

"I'm sorry, Snake. But I need your skin."

Quick, Jaga thumped the head of the snake using the blunt part of the stone axe and then cut it.

Exfoliating the snake skin from under the head by first removing its head, allowing Jaga Saksena to get the snake skin intact.

"Lumayan, this is pretty much at my feet. Just looking for a place that's exposed to the sun to dry it."

Keep Saksena just take the skin of the snake, while the meat he threw away and then step on to continue the journey.

Snake, although only as big as an arm, the skin is able to accommodate the legs of the owner of the arm. To be used as a foot protector, Keep Saxena only need to dry it, then cut along two jengkal to then tied the end with a rope.

The rope used is also a dry skin that is cut small in length.

Long walk, finally the boy found an open room in the heat of the sun. Although not wide enough to dry the skin of the snake.

"Take a wait I'll practice strengthening my hands."

Keep Saksena stepping into a tree. Put on a sturdy leg, though,

Bugh! Bugh! Bugh! Bugh!

The boy began to hit with the rhythm of his heartbeat. Continuously patiently and painfully.

"Hufft ...!"

Squeezing himself near the snake skin that he was drying Jaga Saksena breathed hard.

"Don't, you must be eating well there as you told me. If I had been there I'd have just asked for rice."

Tetiba Jaga Saksena fell silent, then continued,

"If it's just rice why wait in heaven ...?! Isn't it out there Byung said there?!"

Jaga Saksena has never eaten rice, but according to Byung, rice is the best food. The rich are not said to eat without rice. Because rice is a source of strength is also a source of satiety.

Given this, Jaga Saksena immediately woke up to check the skin of the snake that he sunbaked.

"Hemmm ... new a little dry. if I wear it now it will be easily torn. I need to find another way to quickly get on my way."

Keep Saksena brain-twisting until, uh,

"Ah .. ha!"

Quickly the little boy climbed up into a broadleaf tree. Picking a few leaves and then using them as a smoke fish wrapper then tie them with a small long leather strap.

"Now I can use this food bag as footwear!"

Excitedly, Jaga Saksena finally continued on her way. Not to forget the skin of the snake that has not been dry he brought anyway.

While stepping, keep Saksena climbing please,

'Hopefully no more wild animals are chasing me!'

*

Hope Keep Saksena is granted, until the sun goes down there is not a single wild animal in the way.

"Thank You, the Almighty!" jaga said start climbing a big tree for the night.

Kukuruyuk!

"My stomach is asking to be filled! Ah, it's so hungry!"

Keep Saksena weighing whether to eat or not. A day in growth only eating one fish is excruciating.

Finally, Jaga Saksena decided to eat one more fish.

**

Time goes fast. Keep taking the north direction. The savage beasts were always there but cleverly Keep could avoid them.

The savage beast was the second hurdle to cross, and Keep Saksena so far could overcome it.

On the fourth night of the trip, Jaga Saksena's stock has completely run out.

"For tonight _though hungry_ I must endure. Tomorrow morning if there's no game then I'm forced to eat snake meat!"

Jaga rubbed his stomach, trying to reconcile with him so as not to be noisy asking for food.

As usual, to stay overnight Jaga Saksena chose to stay over the tree.

As Jaga Saksena chose the right branch to support her body, the boy's eyes saw flames in the distance. Although it looks small, dark night helps the fire easily visible.

"Fire?! Am I almost there?! Not in vain my journey! I have to go to bed quickly so that tomorrow my strength is perfect!"

Excited Keep Saksena trying to close her eyes. Fatigue immediately ambushed him in deep sleep.

***

Farther north, a burning fire. People who appear to only wear coverings on the furniture part of maleness and femininity sit twisted.

Occasionally their hands point to the sky with the fingers open and then fully bow until the hands touch the ground.

The bodies of men anointed something black, different from the women who anointed white. Maybe it's a kind of herb to ward off mosquitoes, ants or other small forest animals. Not too scary appearance.

Not when he saw what was on the burning fire, a long stick that pierced a human body!

Yes, they are a tribe of flesh eaters.
