346, I've seen savages
The remaining few fish, pierced by the dog with a branch, were inserted on the edge of the fire, and the disemboweled side was towards the flames.
Crab and other fish soup were served, a pot of water was directly added, and a red boil was put in, and a piece of wild ginger was added at the same time.
After a while, everyone was divided into a sumptuous dinner.
After drinking the fish soup and eating the river fresh, we suddenly moved our index fingers and ate the river fresh food.
I was secretly happy that I had picked up a treasure.
As the old village chief said, the dog baby has a very rich experience in wild survival.
With him with us, we probably won't use those unpalatable compressed biscuits and dry food.
After eating our bellies, we sat or lay down by the fire and rested in silence for a while.
Plenty of food and proper rest soon made us forget about the tiredness of the day.
At this time, Lie Shengnan first broke the calm, looked at the dog baby without blinking, and said: "Dog baby, it's idle anyway, you can tell us the story in this mountain." ”
The dog baby scratched the back of her head, and before she could speak, her face turned red.
"There's something to talk about in the mountains, I really don't know what to talk about. ”
"I see that you haven't gone into the mountains less, and you haven't heard any stories about the mountains that your grandfather and elders have told?" Lie Shengnan reminded him.
Zheng Xiongqi was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "You just talk about the savages, the last time I heard Lao Zhou say the suspense, there are really savages in this mountain?"
"Yes, how not. The dog baby suddenly became serious, and said with a neck crossed: "I have seen wild people." ”
"What? Have you ever seen a wild man?" we were all taken aback.
Zhou Zihao and I were both interested.
Even the sleepy Zhang Mengmeng cheered up, pricked up his ears, and waited to hear the story.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, the dog baby was a little embarrassed for a while, scratched his head, and said: "It's true, I was still young at that time, and I didn't see it very really, but I can be sure that it is a wild man." ”
"Tell us what the wild man looks like. Lie Shengnan asked eagerly.
I only heard the dog baby say: "The hair is thin, the hair is terrible, and the foot is the size of a fan." ”
He gestured with his hands as he spoke.
We all laughed a little dumbfounded.
Because the image he is talking about is similar to the image of the cave man on the top of the mountain in the textbook.
Seeing that we were all smiling, the dog's face suddenly lengthened, and she said eagerly: "You don't believe it, I really saw it." ”
Seeing that he was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he looked honest, my heart suddenly moved.
I remembered the last time I came, I saw those magical scaffolding, those magnificent projects that reached the top of hundreds of meters of mountains, in such a deep mountain, there is really no way to explain.
If I tell them what I saw last time, will I get the same feedback?
Therefore, I stopped laughing seriously, looked at the dog baby and said, "I believe you, do you remember the situation when you met the wild man?"
The dog baby pondered carefully for a while, as if she was recalling something.
After a long time, he said: "It was when I was seven or eight years old, and my grandfather and I went into the mountains for the first time, and I remember that time, because my mother was pregnant with my sister again, and the family urgently needed money, my grandfather took me into the deep mountains. ”
"You have a younger sister, how old is she. Zhang Mengmeng suddenly interjected.
The atmosphere was broken all of a sudden, and everyone turned their eyes to look at Zhang Mengmeng. Only then did she realize something, stuck out her tongue, and said no more.
The dog baby nodded and continued: "My sister is in high school in the county, and her grades are good, sixteen this year. ”
Only then did we know that the dog baby was only twenty-three years old this year.
I only heard him continue: "It was a night when I couldn't see my fingers, my grandfather was very tired after collecting medicine for a day, and he slept alone in a small grass hut. I was still young at the time, and it was the first time I had gone into such a deep mountain with my grandfather, and I was very happy. I got up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, and when I saw that my grandfather was very tired, I didn't wake him up, and I went out of the small grass shed alone. Walk under a big tree five or six meters away to pee. ”
"I remember that night, the moon was very good, it was a big semicircle, it hung in the sky like a light bulb, and it shone in the woods, and I could see things six or seven meters away. ”
"I was squinting and peeing, when I suddenly heard the sound of a murmur not far away. I was curious and thought it was supposed to be a rabbit. When I was five or six years old, I followed the second egg of the village and caught rabbits in the back mountain, and at that time, I was not afraid at all, but a little excited. ”
I fastened my trouser belt, tiptoed towards the sound, walked out more than ten meters, and suddenly, in front of my eyes, a very large thing appeared, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and his long hair was earthy yellow, and it was like it was covered with mud and had not been washed for hundreds of years. His skin was grayish-brown under the moon, and his whole body was covered with sparse long hair, which was more than two inches long. His face was hidden in the dark, only his two eyes were glowing, and he looked particularly frightening......"
"How can you be sure that he is a human, not a monkey or an orangutan, a bear or anything like that. Lie Shengnan asked curiously.
"I often see monkeys, there are no such big ones, and when the monkey is on the ground, it can't stand so straight. It's even more impossible for a bear, a bear is not like that. The orangutans you mentioned have only been seen on TV, and there are no orangutans in the Shennong Mountains at all. By the way, also, I remembered, that big monster, with a rag tied around his waist, blocking eggs, and it looked like a man. The dog baby said excitedly.
Hearing such a straightforward description, Lie Shengnan and Zhang Mengmeng immediately blushed.
Zheng Dashao couldn't help laughing.
"Young Master Zheng, what are you laughing at, what I said is true. "The dog baby is a little angry.
I said, "It's not you who is laughing at him, you go on and say, what happened." That wild man hurt you no. ”
"No, he stared straight at me, for a long time, motionless, you're a dead one. At that time, I was stupid, and I stood there fixedly, and I didn't dare to take a breath, the wild man was carrying a rabbit in his hand, and you came out to hunt. He was bigger than my grandfather and I combined. When I was a child, I often listened to the old men in the village talk about the ancient times, and I had a thought in my heart, it was a wild man. ”
"The old men in the village often say that the savages never take the initiative to attack us mountain people, but they will take children and eat the meat with their skins, because the skin of children is tender and delicious, while the meat of adults is sour. Thinking about this, I was so scared that I almost peed out. ”
At this time, my grandfather suddenly walked out of the shed and shouted to me behind him: "Dog, what are you doing there, you haven't come back and sleepy." ”
I turned my head and called out to my grandfather, almost crying. My grandfather noticed that something was wrong with me and hurried over. At this time, I heard a commotion, instinctively shrank my stomach, turned my head to see, there was nothing in front of me, only those tall grass trees, still swinging, indicating that there was really something there just now. ”
"My grandfather came over and slapped me on the back of the head, scolding me and saying that I wouldn't go yet, and that I had hysteria in the middle of the night. I went back in a daze, not even believing that the figure I had just seen was a wild man. ”
"When I slept and woke up the next day, I remembered the events of last night, and I got up and told my grandfather about it in one breath. My grandfather said I was dreaming, but I didn't go out to pee all night. ”
"It's been a long time, it's you who had a dream. Zheng Dashao suddenly felt as if he had been tricked.
"My grandfather said I was dreaming, but I didn't believe it. Just point out to my grandfather where the wild man was yesterday. When my grandfather went over there, he stepped on the ground hard, and when I ran over, he saw half a big footprint, and the feet were all one by one, but it was clear. The foot was two bigger than my grandfather's feet. I pointed to the footprint and asked my grandfather what it was, and I was hit by a thunderbolt from my grandfather, which made me feel like a star. He also warned me not to tell anyone else. It's been a few years since my grandfather died, so I dare to tell you. ”
