The seawater quickly retreated from his ankles, and soon came again, but each time the waves came farther and farther away from his position.
Dong Qiangqiang slowly backed away, as if waiting for the opponent to attack.
The leopard was getting closer and closer to him, and he could even see its teeth clearly.
It would be nice if there was whiskey, he thought quietly.
But the strange thing is that as the distance gets closer, the leopard seems to become hesitant. It paces back and forth on the beach, looking extremely impatient, but the majestic leopard is looking up to the sky and howling at this time, as if it is timid about its companions. Very dissatisfied.
Dong Qiangqiang deliberately took a few steps forward until Leopard's eyes lit up again.
"Come here!" Dong Qiangqiang teased the leopard with his fingers, "Pounce on me!"
The leopard was finally angered by Dong Qiangqiang's ignorance and contempt. It roared and jumped over on the water.
Dong Qiangqiang was waiting for this move. Not only did he not dodge, but he moved towards its forelimbs, and at the same time deliberately exposed his good half of the shoulder for the opponent to bite.
The leopard was very puzzled by his strange behavior, so he had to go down the slope and pounce on his shoulder.
Soon enough, the moment the opponent's front paws touched Dong Qiangqiang's shoulder, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly opened his arms, hugged the leopard's neck and tightened it tightly. Before it could react, he fell to the ground, hugged the leopard and rolled quickly towards the sea.
Leopard had never encountered such a weird attack before, and it took him two seconds to recover. It struggled to bite Dong Qiangqiang's shoulders and arms, but during the rolling process, its bites were not accurate.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang felt that he could not hold on anymore, he felt a wave of waves gently lift him up from his armpits, and then a strong current dragged him and the leopard to the bottom of the sea.
He closed his eyes and held his breath suddenly, and felt countless small stones hitting his face in an instant, and sand poured into his nostrils, which was extremely painful.
But he didn't let go of the arm holding the leopard's neck, but tightened it even more.
Leopard is not a believer in men and women, and neither is Dong Qiangqiang.
keep Calm! Hold your breath! Follow the current! He silently recited in his mind the method of encountering rip currents taught by his teacher when he was learning to swim, and floated and sank with the current.
The leopard's struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally it gave up resistance and floated limply on the water.
Dong Qiangqiang put his two scarred arms on a piece of ice closest to him, panted heavily, and looked back towards the shore.
The majestic leopard was still standing on the shore, watching him from a distance, with no intention of leaving.
The sea water was very cold, and it was even colder lying on the ice floe. Dong Qiangqiang could not stay in the sea all the time, so he could only swim back to the shore carefully and land far away from the majestic leopard.
When he came ashore and took a look, the majestic leopard there was gone.
But when he turned around again, the majestic leopard was already staring at him silently on the rocks not far from him.
Dong Qiangqiang gritted his heart and gritted his teeth (the sea water was really too cold), and planned to repeat his old trick, but the majestic leopard seemed to be much smarter than the other two, and he remained unmoved no matter how tempted Dong Qiangqiang was.
But if Dong Qiangqiang wants to retreat, it will follow him step by step, following him like a shadow.
Only then did Dong Qiangqiang realize that the leopard was using the two leopards in front of him to consume its own physical strength and test its own combat effectiveness. Once it discovered its own weakness, it would pursue it relentlessly.
But now he was so tired that he had no strength at all. He hadn't eaten anything since last night, and there were no fish in the ring of rocks. He couldn't help but regret that if he had known this, he might as well have dragged the leopard back to the shore. He grilled it and ate it, but now even if he was willing to endure the cold water and swim back, the leopard would have drifted away long ago.
He retrieved the dagger in the snow, and made three fires into one big one. While warming himself, he was wary of the majestic leopard.
But the majestic leopard was very calm and just observed Dong Qiangqiang without getting close, as if waiting for something.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang's clothes were about to dry, a long howl of "Wow" sounded from the top of the cliff.
The majestic leopard's ears stood up with a "snap", and its lying posture changed to a standing posture.
It’s broken, this grandson is here to help. Dong Qiangqiang's heart sank, maybe it was the sick man who left just now. He thought that the injured leopard was driven away by the majestic leopard, but it turned out that the other party went to call for reinforcements.
Dong Qiangqiang was very irritable. The more he was afraid of something, the more he would get it. If a few more leopards really come, he will definitely tell them here. Of course he could retreat to the cave and guard, but then there would really be no way out.
No, he has to fight quickly. When the other party's help comes, he will be completely out of luck. Dong Qiangqiang thought, and stood up unsteadily, holding a torch and a dagger.
Hearing the movement on his side, the majestic leopard turned his head warily. Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's offensive posture, he immediately bared his teeth and roared, as if to warn Dong Qiangqiang not to act rashly.
Dong Qiangqiang was so hungry that his heart was pressed against his back. He really had no strength. He picked a few leaves and stuffed some pieces of snow into his mouth and started chewing.
The leopard looked surprised.
"Come on!" Dong Qiangqiang struck the fire stick with his dagger, causing sparks to fly everywhere. "Let's see who has the final say between us?"
The leopard jumped off the reef and stared at Dong Qiangqiang's footsteps. His whole back arched and his expression became more ferocious.
The distance between the man and the leopard was getting closer and closer. Dong Qiangqiang saw that the leopard's claws were sharp and sharp.
"The equipment is really good!" Dong Qiangqiang boasted while taking the S-shaped route, "But my knife is not a vegetarian..."
Before he could continue, he saw the bushes nearby shaking. As expected, the injured leopard left and returned.
This time, Dong Qiangqiang finally realized the fear of death. But he was not going to sit still and wait for death. He put on a scary face again and retreated towards the entrance of the cave.
Let’s get into the hole first, he thought.
But the majestic leopard understood his thoughts and blocked him behind him with a twist of his body.
There is no retreat.
Dong Qiangqiang sighed softly, it seemed that he was really going to fight to the death this time! But he also knew very well that the so-called fight to the death was just his wishful thinking. When two leopards attacked at the same time, he had no chance of winning.
Where else could I run? On a cliff? Nautical miles? Dong Qiangqiang's mind was spinning rapidly. These choices seemed to be a dead end. Still have to find a way into the hole.
However, it is not as good as God. Dong Qiangqiang's strategy of "fight and go" was defeated in the first round against the two leopards. The leopards made him lose his torch and dagger without any effort, and even forced him to the rock. beside.
Dong Qiangqiang looked up at the cliff. He thought he couldn't climb up anymore, so he reluctantly picked up a stone at his feet. That's it, it's over, he thought to himself.
The wounded leopard took a few steps back, leaving Dong Qiangqiang to the majestic leopard.
Dong Qiangqiang's stubbornness burst out from the bottom of his heart. Even if it dies, I will smash its head. This is his final determination.
The majestic leopard jumped up without wasting any more time. Dong Qiangqiang used his left hand to block in front of him and waved the stone in his hand. However, the majestic leopard was obviously more patient and flexible than him. His stone was connected with the leopard fur. None of them were encountered.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang wanted to escape, his foot stepped on a piece of moss, his center of gravity tilted, and he fell into the snow.
The majestic leopard immediately jumped up and lowered its head to bite. Dong Qiangqiang felt a sharp pain in his arm. He let out a heart-rending scream that he had never heard before, and mechanically hit him with stones crazily. Leopard's head.
In a daze, he felt a vibration coming from the ground, and before he could understand it, he heard another scream.
Has my soul begun to leave my body? Dong Qiangqiang felt puzzled, then why can I still feel pain?
Before he finished asking the question, he felt his eyes blurred, and the majestic leopard suddenly relaxed and disappeared from his eyes.
Why did the leopard stop? Don't they eat people? No, that person I pulled back from the sea was eaten by them? Do they have any rituals before eating people?
His face was covered with blood, and he struggled to sit up on the rock next to him. He saw a huge blurry black shadow entangled with the leopard.
He tried hard to see clearly what the black shadow was, but the blood on his forehead was bleeding more and more, blocking his sight, and he couldn't wipe it away no matter how hard he wiped it away.
He wiped it with the remaining cloth on his sleeve, and finally saw clearly that the leopard was fighting with an adult brown bear.
In the blur, he heard a series of whimpers and saw the leopard limping towards the dense forest. The victorious brown bear roared to the sky, causing the snow on the nearby leaves to fall.
Dong Qiangqiang sighed secretly, now he really had just emerged from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's mouth again. He can't even defeat a leopard, let alone a bear.
The brown bear swayed its huge body and walked slowly towards Dong Qiangqiang. Dong Qiangqiang's inner fear had already passed the extreme, but now he didn't know how to be afraid.
Following the rich smell of blood on Dong Qiangqiang's body, the brown bear finally walked up to him, lowered its head and sniffed the top of his head, and suddenly opened its huge mouth.
Dong Qiangqiang could clearly smell the fishy stench from the brown bear's mouth. Many childhood scenes flashed through his mind like a movie, and he remembered many things he thought he had forgotten. "So my life is like this," he said with a wry smile to the brown bear, "You shouldn't eat me. I'm a good person, and there are still many things waiting for me to do."
The brown bear looked Dong Qiangqiang up and down for a long time with his small marble-like eyes, then suddenly growled, blew his nose again, sprayed Dong Qiangqiang's face with snot, and then turned around and left with satisfaction.
The back of the brown bear gradually overlapped in Dong Qiangqiang's eyes. Have I already hung up? He asked himself softly, but before he could study it carefully, his whole body fell heavily on the snow.
He only remembered that the last image he saw before closing his eyes was a blurry black figure next to the brown bear, and then there was endless darkness.
When Dong Qiangqiang woke up again, he saw a big crab jumping from his head to the gravel next to him and walking away.
There was silence in the forest. The black shadow disappeared, and so did the majestic leopard. Everything that happened in the morning seemed to be just an illusory dream.
Just as he stumbled to his feet, he suddenly saw a leopard lying on the gravel beach not far away.
He was suddenly startled and quickly picked up the stones at his feet, only to find that the leopard was motionless. He boldly walked over and found that the leopard had already died, and there was still half a bloody paw mark on the leopard's back.
Relieved, he sat slumped on the beach, letting the cold sea water soak his clothes and pants, and just stared blankly at the red sun that had just appeared on the blue sky.
His stomach rumbled in protest, reminding him that he needed to get something to eat as soon as possible. Dong Qiangqiang stood up helplessly, preparing to catch a few crabs to grill, but he found that several fish had entered the ring of stones at some point, and one of them was quite big. This made him very happy.
The rising flames jumped up again. Dong Qiangqiang packed up the fish rack and put it on the fire. He started to catch crabs again. He had already planned that if the search and rescue team really couldn't come for a while, he would roast the leopard and eat it. At the same time, he started to catch crabs. Start building your own temporary nest on the island. After all, there are leopards and bears here. Night will come soon, and no one knows what will happen again.
In a short time, Dong Qiangqiang caught a dozen crabs. He roasted five or six crabs and dug a hole for the other crabs to store.
When the first red rays of the sun shone on his face in 2002, and smelling the aroma of grilled fish and crabs by the fire, Dong Qiangqiang felt as if he was in another world.
When he picked up the grilled fish and took a bite, he felt like he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
He looked around and saw a faint black smoke floating in the sky far away.
It seemed that the fire was still burning last night. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but sigh at his hands-on ability, but he suddenly stopped after taking another bite, then hurriedly picked up the dagger and ran towards the top of the cliff.
The fact was exactly as he guessed.
When he ran to the cliff and looked far into the distance, he saw two plumes of black smoke in two directions.
Where there is smoke there must be fire. This was Dong Qiangqiang's first thought.
Is that wisp of smoke the fire started by Lao Bai? This was his second thought.
Without thinking too much, he hurriedly ran to the bottom of the cliff, took out the compass from his bag, stuffed the grilled fish and crabs into the bag, and rushed directly in the direction of the black smoke.
