After walking all night, it was time for sunrise.
"Shh..."
Dou Sprout pointed not far ahead and whispered: "Look, that's a big pigeon, right? Why is it so big? How about we catch it and eat it."
It does look like a big white pigeon has landed on the ground. I think it is at least half a meter in size.
"Whoa whoa!"
Lao Fu shouted twice and threw a stone.
The big pigeon immediately got into the grass and disappeared.
"This is not a pigeon, this is a Tibetan horse pheasant. You can't eat it. It is a protected animal." After finishing speaking, Lao Fu looked around and said, "Seeing this thing proves that we have entered the outside of Miyao Mountain. "
"Going north here leads to the snow-capped mountains, while going south is an endless barren land."
"Professor Wang, we have to be careful from now on, especially when sleeping, because there are not only lynxes, golden cats, rabbits, Tibetan pheasants, but also wild ass and wild wolves. There is something I wanted to ask before but haven't yet. , did you bring the trolls with you before coming?"
"Troll?" I realized, he meant shotgun.
I shook my head and said I didn't bring any, we only had knives.
"I'm afraid it's not safe to have a knife alone..."
Lao Fu put down the bamboo frame and opened the cloth, stretched out his hand and took out a 38-inch cover. The handle of the gun was wrapped with oily velvet.
This gun looks a bit old, like an antique from the Anti-Japanese War period.
He was quite proud and introduced: "This is passed down from my grandfather. Don't underestimate it. I have killed at least ten wild wolves. You must have this thing for self-defense when entering the mountains."
After walking for a day, nothing happened. I did see several animals that I had never seen before in the woods. For example, there was something with a tuft of hair standing on its head. It looked like a cat but was not a cat. I don’t know what it was.
We camped at night and after eating dry food we went into the tent to sleep. Lao Fu said he would keep vigil and let us all go and rest.
I didn't sleep yesterday and was very sleepy. It didn't take long before I fell into a trance.
I was sleeping soundly when suddenly, I heard a sound like "Huh... Huh..." coming from outside.
It's not a human snoring, it's more like the sound of some kind of animal.
I got out immediately.
I saw Lao Fu standing next to the fire, with his hands on the spray gun and his eyes fixed on the depths of the forest!
Brother Yu also heard the "strange noise" coming out, frowned and asked, "What is this noise?"
"Ha-de-de! Gua-xi-xi!" (a kind of dirty talk.)
Lao Fu said nervously: "It's a black blind man. There is this thing on the west side of Mi Yao Mountain. Why did it come here? I heard the sound is not far away, but I don't dare to sleep! Hurry! Wake everyone up!"
I had never seen a bear, let alone a wild one, before I knew it was called that. Those who say they are not afraid of lies, including the experienced guide Lao Fu, are afraid of everyone, saying that the black blind cannibalize human flesh.
"Huh...huh..."
Soon, the voice came again.
This time I heard it more clearly and the sound was closer! Just can't see where.
Xiaoxuan's face turned pale. She took out a sharp dagger from her lower back and held it tightly in her hand to strengthen her courage.
"Bang!"
Lao Fu fired a shot into the air, his face full of nervousness, and he suddenly sang a song with a loud voice.
"Oops.... Hey! Hey hey hey!"
"March 3! Yichun fermented bean curd comes in small bottles! My aunt and my second aunt put it aside! The old man from my second aunt's family wants to eat it secretly! My aunt tells him to go away!"
"quick!"
After Lao Fu finished singing, he immediately turned around and said loudly: "The Black Blind Man is not far away! All of you sing loudly! Or shout! You can bang the pot! Make it as loud as you can!"
"Hurry! It'll be too late soon!" Lao Fu urged loudly with a serious look on his face.
Dou Sprouts immediately started howling and singing, and the rest of us guys also started shouting along with Lao Fu.
Xiaoxuan found two pots for boiling water. She beat them like cymbals, making a loud sound.
"Don't stop! Make it louder!"
Ever since, a very strange scene occurred.
A group of people sang and shouted, each shouting his own thing.
Accompanied by Xiaoxuan's hard knocking on the basin, we were like a tone-deaf ragtag band.
Half an hour later, my throat was about to smoke. Lao Fu waved his hand and we all stopped, and all the accompanying noises came to an abrupt end.
After listening carefully for a while, I could no longer hear the "whirring" sound from before.
Lao Fu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said, "The black blind man is most afraid of crowds and noise. He must have been scared away, but to be on the safe side, I'm adding someone to keep watch."
"I'll come, I feel better."
"Well, everyone else should go back to sleep first."
The two of us stayed vigil around the fire, fearing we were sleepy, and we chatted here and there.
At first, Lao Fu used cigarettes to stay awake, but at about three o'clock in the middle of the night, he was like a chicken pecking at rice, putting his hands on his knees and moving his head little by little.
At this time, I quietly stood up, walked around him, and walked behind him.
There is his bamboo basket. The big bamboo frame is covered tightly with raincloth and hemp rope regardless of day or night. I have always wanted to see what is in the bamboo basket?
Is it a bit inhumane?
Peeping into other people's privacy, but I'm curious.
Squatting down, I stretched out my hand to untie the hemp rope.
"Hey... don't move it..."
Suddenly, a hand was placed on my shoulder.
A cold voice came from behind.
I slowly turned my head and saw Lao Fu standing there with an indifferent expression, holding a shotgun in both hands.
"Ha... Fu, Uncle Fu, you're not sleeping. I thought you were sleeping."
"I see your rope is untied. Let me tie you up."
"Young man, each of us has privacy. Are you willing for me to go through your bag?"
"I'm sorry, Uncle Fu! I was wrong."
"You remember my words, there will be no next time unless this happens again."
After saying that, the nervous expression on Lao Fu's face disappeared instantly, and a smile suddenly appeared.
He patted me and said, "Haha, you look nervous! I'm teasing you. There's nothing you can't see in my basket, just some dry food, water and emergency items."
"How about I untie it now and let you take a look?"
"No, no, no, Uncle Fu, I believe you," I waved my hand with a smile.
At daybreak, we continue on our way.
According to Lao Fu's speculation, if we are quick, we can walk near the Dulong River this evening, and then walk upstream along the Dulong River for two to three days before reaching the deepest part of Damiyao Mountain, the inaccessible basin-shaped area. .
Take a look when leaving.
Good guy! Just two hundred meters away from our camp, towards the west, there was a row of "strange footprints" vaguely left on the ground, as big as a volleyball.
That’s the benefit of having an experienced guide.
If Lao Fu hadn't made us sing and howl like crazy last night, we would probably be in a much worse situation now.
At noon, suddenly the cell phone in my pants pocket rang, and it was a text message.
what 's wrong?
Since shortly after entering the mountain, there has been no signal on the mobile phone.
Why is it that as we go deeper, there is suddenly a cell phone signal? What the hell?
I'm using Nokia's latest 6680. Not only mine, but everyone else's phones have signal, and the signal strength is at full strength, five bars!
Including the leader, everyone was confused.
I turned on my phone and saw that it was a text message sent yesterday evening. I only received it now because I suddenly had a signal.
It was sent from a strange number I don’t recognize. The content is:
"Xiang Yunfeng, the company will hold an emergency meeting next Wednesday and I can't contact you. Please call me back as soon as you see the message."
Is the company holding an emergency meeting?
I thought to myself who is this?
I have grown up and have never been to work for a day. I had an emergency meeting at the company. Did I send the message to the wrong person?
But that's not right, everyone said Xiang Yunfeng...
"Brother Yu, don't talk for now. We just have a signal right now. I'll make a call to find out who this is."
After saying that, I called back this unfamiliar number directly.
