At the same time that I was being stared at strangely by the red fox, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps and an excited shout from behind me.
"Coming, coming, the knife is coming!"
Because it was too dark, I didn't see anyone. I only saw a flashlight flashing constantly, and a sharp razor that faintly exuded a cold feeling under the flashlight light!
I was clearly standing there, but the ranger didn't seem to see me at all, and ran straight past me. Even the wind he brought when he ran made my clothes shake.
"Holy shit, where is the person? The fox is gone too? Could it be that this kid pushed me away on purpose and wanted to take the spoils all by himself?!"
As the ranger yelled later, I realized that the ranger who had been standing motionless before had miraculously disappeared. Also disappearing with him was the red fox holding the hare carcass in its mouth...
"Where are the people? If you want to monopolize them, there is no way. Come out!"
The forest ranger in front of him suddenly seemed crazy. He kept waving the razor in his hand, holding the flashlight in his other hand, and ran directly into the dense and dark forest and disappeared.
For just a second or two, I couldn't even see the flashlight light.
I stood there for a long time, feeling that what had just happened was too weird. It was obviously hard to catch him, but how could he be let go so easily?
Also, I was just distracted for a few seconds, and both the person and the red fox disappeared...
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was deathly silence all around, without any sound.
I didn't see the two rangers again, it was like they completely disappeared before my eyes.
The deeper the night went, the lower the temperature became. Even though I was wearing a coat, I could not help but shiver.
After waiting to no avail, I finally chose to return alone. I picked up the flashlight left by the ranger who disappeared with the red fox, turned around and followed the direction of my memory to find the cabin.
Back in the cabin, everyone was sleeping soundly, as if nothing had happened.
I tiptoed towards my heated bed, and just as I was thinking about getting up on the heated bed, I suddenly noticed a figure sitting on the heated bed.
Through the faint moonlight outside the wooden house window, I recognized him. He turned out to be Gouzi, and he actually woke up.
"I was shocked, why did you wake up!"
Gouzi was as indifferent as ever, but there was a bit more weirdness on his indifferent face.
At first I always thought he was looking at me while he was sitting there, but when I got closer, I realized that his eyes were not looking at me, but at the other side of the fire pit, where the two forest rangers were. The position where you lie.
Seeing Gouzi's eyes like this, I knew that Gouzi had also discovered that the two rangers were missing.
That's what I thought, but when I followed Gouzi's gaze and looked to the side of the fire kang, I suddenly became stupid on the spot.
I saw the two forest rangers lying on the fire bed at this moment, as if they had never left.
This, how is this possible? I just followed the two of them out, and I watched them disappear before my eyes.
But why did he suddenly appear on this fire bed now?
Could it be that I'm dreaming?
Thinking about it, I raised my hand and pinched my face hard. The pain was so painful that I almost screamed.
pain!
This also means that I am not dreaming, what happened before is real.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night. I sat on the fire bed and stared at the two rangers all night long.
Gouzi didn't sleep either, and he stared at them motionless like me.
Gouzi can't speak, which is what bothers me the most, because I don't know what Gouzi is thinking about at the moment, but obviously he also discovered something strange about the two rangers.
It was getting brighter slowly, and I seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, so I started to doze off again and again. The dog seemed to be more energetic than me, but he was also staring at the two dark circles under his eyes.
"Hey, what are you two doing? Are you sitting on the fire bed all night? Look at the dark circles under your eyes, they look like two pandas!"
Liu Tingting woke up at some point and stood in front of the two of us and said with a confused look on her face.
I really wanted to tell her what happened last night, but after much hesitation, I gave up because I started to doubt whether what I said I saw last night was true.
"Well, I always sleep on the bed at home, but suddenly I'm sleeping on this hot bed and can't sleep."
I excused myself.
"It's so comfortable. If you say you can't sleep, you two really won't enjoy it!"
After that, Liu Tingting ignored the two giant pandas and walked out of the wooden house.
At this time, I looked around and found that it seemed that only me and Gouzi were left. Everyone was gone, including the two young rangers.
Seeing this, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly put on my shoes and ran out of the cabin.
When I ran out of the cabin, I found a group of people sitting in a small pavilion in front of the cabin eating breakfast.
Liu Ye, Brother Bao, Liu Qiaomei, Liu Tingting, and the director of the forest ranger station, Zhang, could not see the two young rangers.
"Hey, kid, hurry up and have some breakfast. After eating, we have to hurry up!"
Seeing me coming out of the cabin, Brother Bao shouted to me.
I casually agreed, walked towards the crowd, found an empty seat and sat down.
Not long after I sat down, the dog came out and sat side by side with me.
"I asked you what kind of skills you two guys are practicing. You just sat there all night. Don't you feel sleepy if you don't sleep?"
Brother Bao said again. Apparently when he woke up, he had already seen why the dog was sitting and dozing.
I didn't answer Brother Bao's question. I just smiled helplessly and looked at Station Manager Zhang who was eating with relish.
"Um, stationmaster Zhang, where are the two rangers with you?"
"Oh, you said the two of them went to patrol in the nearby woods early in the morning. They won't be back for a while."
patrol?
Webmaster Zhang didn't look like he was lying.
This made me even more confused. Could it be that I really had a dream last night?
But I also pinched my face clearly, and it really hurt.
"Well, I'm not hungry. You guys eat while I walk around."
I made an excuse to leave. When I left, I noticed that Gouzi glanced at me. Obviously he knew what I was thinking at the moment.
After leaving the cabin, I jogged along the same route I took last night.
After feeling the location where I saw the red fox last night, I stopped and began to search around for the traces left before.
The flat grass was a bit messy, but there was no sign of the so-called trap.
Nothing was found except patches of grass that had been crushed, and the grass didn't mean anything at all.
I turned around and walked back a little frustrated, but after taking two steps, I suddenly stopped because I saw a small patch of dark red that was blocked in the grass, which had obviously dried up. of blood.
No, this is not a dream, this is real. Everything that happened last night is real.
My guess was confirmed, but I couldn't be happy no matter what, because what happened was so weird.
I found blood stains, and I was thinking about whether I should go back and tell stationmaster Zhang to be careful about the two rangers.
Even if there is nothing weird, the two forest rangers are not a fuel-efficient lamp. If they tell Station Master Zhang, they might be able to make him alert.
Thinking of this, I turned around and walked back quickly, planning to tell Stationmaster Zhang everything that happened last night as soon as possible.
"Stationmaster Zhang, last night..."
I just opened my mouth, but before I got to the point, I was forced to swallow the words I spoke.
Because I found that the two rangers were sitting next to Station Master Zhang at the moment!
