28 In distress in the mountains
Li Shan was a little disappointed after hearing this, so he didn't say anything at the moment, turned around and prepared to go back to his room. But when he turned around, his eyes fell on the little squirrel again, thinking that there was nothing to do in the base in the past few days, and he was idle, so it was better to try his luck in the back mountain, even if he couldn't catch the squirrel, he had the right to climb the mountain and travel by himself.
Li Shan came back and asked the waiter surnamed Liang for some specific details, then went back to prepare, said hello to Lao Zheng and went to the back mountain.
Although it had rained last night, the weather was very hot and the rain evaporated quickly, so the road up the mountain was not very muddy. After spending nearly two hours, Li Shan finally climbed a hill behind the base.
This hill belongs to one of the dozens of peaks of Qingcheng Mountain, large and small, the mountain is densely covered with pine forests, and it is usually inaccessible, only occasionally there are nearby mountain people who come here to pick yams, wild fruits or something.
According to the waiter, the squirrels like to build their nests in dense branches, or take advantage of the abandoned nests of crows and magpies, and sometimes make nests in tree hollows, and they especially like to inhabit forests with coniferous belts dominated by red pines and tall trunks.
Li Shan found a place where he thought he was frequented by squirrels, and placed a carrot there as bait. This is the squirrel of the waiter surnamed Liang who eats leftovers, so it has the same kind of breath on it, which can attract other squirrels.
After placing the bait, a bamboo basket is buckled upside down on it, one side of the bamboo basket is on the ground, and the other side is supported by a thin stick, and a long piece of thin rope is tied to the thin stick, so that the person hides in the distance, as long as the prey enters the bamboo basket, the string can be pulled in time to buckle the prey in the bamboo basket.
These methods were all told to him by the waiter surnamed Liang, and he didn't know if it would work, so the next thing to do was to wait patiently.
Li Shan untied the rope that was wrapped in a ball, dragged the other end of the rope, and found a relatively dense grass to hide. The grass was still a little wet, so he spread a piece of plastic sheeting on the grass and sat down.
After tossing for most of the day, this will indeed be a bit tired. He pulled out a bottle of mineral water from the backpack behind him, unscrewed the lid and took a few sips. He was at the exit of this hill at the moment, and from a distant point of view, he could see that the base was at the foot of the mountain not far from here.
Since it had just rained last night, the sky after the rain was blue and transparent, and a gentle rainbow floated in the east, and a few white clouds with gold edges floated and dissipated in the sky...... The pine forest is even more verdant, and each pine needle is hung with water droplets, so I don't know whether the pine needles are shining due to the water droplets, or the water droplets flow out of the pine needles, which makes the whole pine forest with a layer of transparent dreamlike color.
The scenery here is good, and the air quality has nothing to say, unlike my hometown of Chang'an, which is gray all day long.
He looked up at the sky again, although it rained last night, but after the sun rose today, the temperature on the surface was still maintained at a high level, coupled with the high humidity, he felt more and more stuffy, Li Shan regretted it a little, and felt that his behavior today was a little impulsive.
When his patience was about to be exhausted, he suddenly heard a noise in the distance, and Li Shan's already sluggish spirit couldn't help but perk, thinking that it was not in vain, the prey finally came.
Since this is basically a primeval forest, the ground is covered with weeds and leaves, and the sound of things stepping on it can be clearly heard, and the sound is approaching you.
But immediately Li Shan felt that something was not right, listening to this movement was a bit big, and it was definitely not something that a little squirrel could make.
Is it a big beast?
Thinking of this, Li Shan couldn't help but feel nervous.
These large beasts in the mountains have a very strong sense of territory. If it sees a stranger trespassing on its turf, it will attack unceremoniously.
Is it a wild wolf? No way, I heard that this thing is basically extinct in China, that is, wild boar or takin? But no matter what you encounter, it is enough to drink a pot of yourself.
Now that's a bit of a problem!
It seems that he is getting closer and closer to this guy, and it is too late to run at this time, once he angers this beast. On this mountain, Li Shan didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to outrun these big guys.
At the moment, Li Shan was lying on his stomach in the grass, holding his breath and not daring to come out, he could only hope that he would not be discovered by this guy.
This guy seemed to be walking unhurriedly, listening to the sound getting closer and closer, Li Shan's heart was "pounding", and he prayed in his heart that he could have good luck.
This guy seemed to stop, he didn't know what he was doing, Li Shan didn't dare to look up, he just put his head on the ground, his nose could smell the fragrance of the grass, the grass touched his face and felt a little itchy, he saw an ant dragging an insect much bigger than himself, and he didn't know where to go.
Just as he was looking at it, Li Shan seemed to hear the voice, yes, it was indeed a human voice!
It turned out that it was a human being, not a beast, Li Shan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he felt that his back had been infiltrated by cold sweat, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh that he was a little nervous.
He knew that he had been hiding here for a long time, and if he came out rashly at this time, he would definitely scare the other party. He didn't want to be so reckless, so he waited and talked.
Li Shan got up quietly, squatted on the ground, and observed through the gap in the grass.
About ten meters away in front, there was a person wearing dark green short sleeves, I saw him holding a mobile phone in one hand and talking about something, and the other hand unloaded a big bag on his back to the ground.
This man seems to be a mountaineering tourist!
This green short-sleeved may feel that there is no one around, so he does not shy away from talking to the phone.
It's not that Li Shancun wants to eavesdrop on other people's words, it's just a coincidence.
But what Li Shan said was not too true, one was a little far away, and the other was that this person's position was just downwind, and the sound came intermittently, like a dialect and a foreign language, Li Shan couldn't distinguish it at all.
The man had now finished talking, and he slipped his phone into his trouser pocket. Then he leaned down, unzipped the backpack on the ground, and took out something that looked like a small pot, and then took out a tablet, which he connected with a wire. A little bit of the computer, a moment of fiddling with the direction of the cauldron, seems to be in some kind of debugging.
What is he doing? Li Shan felt a little surprised, that small pot should be a satellite transmission equipment. Looking at all this, I vaguely felt that this person was not simple.
