Chapter 0567: Gunshots in the Forest
It took a lot of effort for Ding Fan to finally figure out that Zheng Sanpao was going out to get off the cover, and by the way, to see if the road outside could go out, after all, it was a lot of snow outside this night, and if the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, it would not be so easy to get out.
If you can't get out, it just so happens that Zheng Sanpao can also lay some condoms outside, catch some prey and come out, the food in the province's hands is not enough, and then it will really become a way to heaven and no door, and the group will be starved to death here if they don't do it well.
The problem is that Ding Fan is very worried about his safety now, after all, there are not only a wave of people coming from the mountain, but also a group of restless people inside.
If Zheng Sanpao really met these people outside, Ding Fan really had no way to ensure that there would be no accidents or anything like that.
For a morning, Ding Fan was a little distraught, and he always felt that after such a long time, Zheng Sanpao had not moved at all, and he had not come back, which was really a bit abnormal.
In the morning, there should always be some reaction, right?
Ding Fan chopped firewood outside all morning, trying to distract himself as much as possible, but at noon, his right eyelid suddenly jumped, which made him upset, and the axe in his hand almost hit his foot, and his heart was flustered.
As the saying goes: the left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster.
Although this is a bit of feudal superstition, this kind of premonition seems to have never been judged by Ding Fan.
This time, Ding Fan hoped that nothing would really happen.
As a result, just after the eyelids jumped twice, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the forest in the distance.
This voice is very dull, and as soon as you hear it, you know that it is a soil @ system @ hunting @ gun, just like the long dry shotgun that Zheng Sanpao brought when he came.
This kind of shotgun, Ding Fan has seen Zheng Sancang use it once before, it is the kind of 'foreign cannon' that people often say, it is filled with iron sand, and it may not be able to hit the target at a long distance, that is, it can barely be used because of the relatively large killing range of medium and short distances.
Soundly, the voice from a distance was a little muffled, thinking that Zheng Sanpao should have just shot.
Something is wrong!
It is said that Zheng Sanpao has been on the mountain many times, and the shotgun in his hand has basically not been used much, that is, he only used it twice after encountering wolves last time.
Ding Fan had already told him that this thing seemed to be quite powerful, that is, it was okay to hit a bird or something, but it was very difficult to hit something a little bigger, the wolves couldn't be killed with one shot, and when it was time to change bullets, the wolves had already pounced, not to mention wild boars and the like.
Since Ding Fan said this question last time, Zheng Sanpao has used the shotgun in his hand behind his back as a signal tool, and he basically uses a bow and arrow to hunt.
This time, the gunfire was obviously not Zheng Sanpao hunting, but a signal to Ding Fan, asking him to help.
As for who the other party is, it is not too difficult to guess, the creatures in the mountains, in general, do not come out to forage during the day, and those who have this habit are generally small prey, or herbivorous livestock.
In this case, Zheng Sanpao will not use a musket, and the movement is really a bit big, after all, there are poachers in the mountains, and they will scare away the prey, so it is better to use a bow and arrow to come quickly.
After a brief analysis, all Ding Fan could think of was that Zheng Sanpao found someone outside, so he shot because he wanted to call himself over to help.
Or he has already fought with these people, and Zheng Sanpao, who is unable to support himself, is asking for help from himself.
After thinking of this, Ding Fan's first thought was to go out and have a look, but he only took two steps, and immediately turned around and looked at the two women behind him.
Seriously, if you ask Zhao Xiaoxian to go with her now, Ding Fan really doesn't have this idea, with her body, it is estimated that it can only be a drag, and it is better not to bring it.
But if these two girls stay here, Ding Fan can't be completely relieved, for fear that something unexpected will happen.
After thinking about it, Ding Fan could only leave something that could protect the two of them in the end, and if there was really any accident, he could also have some spare strength to protect himself.
"It's a pistol, you two are holding it. Ding Fan took out the pistol on his body and planned to hand it over to Zhao Xiaoxian and tell them to take care of themselves.
Who knows, Ding Fan thought it was very good, and took out the pistol, but after Zhao Xiaoxian saw it, she kept dodging behind, as if she was very afraid of the pistol.
Fortunately, the girl on the side was more bold, reached out and took the pistol in her hand, and said with a serious face: "Brother Ding, you can go with confidence! Sister Zhao, I'll protect her!"
Looking at the way the girl held the pistol in her hand, Ding Fan could guarantee that this girl must have used a gun before, not once.
This skillful technique, although not a veteran, is not a problem with a gun.
Although I was a little curious about why Yaya had come into contact with a pistol, now was not the time to think about it, the most important thing was to go and see the situation on Zheng Sanpao's side.
Ding Fan nodded, told the two of them to be careful, and ran out of the house in a hurry after speaking.
Last night's snow fell heavily, and the previous heavy snow had not yet bloomed, and the two heavy snows were superimposed, and one foot could not reach the waist.
When Zheng Sanpao went out in the morning, he only brought a climbing plow, and from the trail marks on the ground, Ding Fan could still easily find the direction.
Along the way, according to the traces on the ground, Ding Fan found several sets left by Zheng Sanpao, as well as marks carved on the trees, indicating that Zheng Sanpao had appeared near here before.
It's just that I don't know where I went later, but fortunately, the traces on the ground are still very new, and they are not covered by the surrounding snow, otherwise it will be difficult to catch up.
Ding Fan chased all the way according to the traces on the ground, until he found Zheng Sanpao's climbing plow on the side of the road, as well as a few earth dogs in his house, and the clues in front were completely broken.
Ding Fan hadn't walked this road before, and I heard that there was more than one way up the mountain, and I thought that this road led to other tunzi, so I hadn't seen it before.
Since there are no traces of drag on the ground, you can only rely on the footprints on the ground to find it, it really doesn't work, Ding Fan still has Doudou by his side, there is always a way to find it.
As a result, Ding Fan still thought about this matter a little simply, it was indeed snowing heavily yesterday, but there were not just one, but many footprints around.
Judging from the size of these footprints, these people should all be strong men, and their height is not low, and in terms of numbers, there should be five or six people.
If you look at the words from the current situation, you can't see anything, and if you want to distinguish it in detail, you can only expand the scope of the search a little.
Originally, Ding Fan wanted to walk into the distance, but who knew what Doudou around him seemed to smell, and after smelling it twice on the ground, he actually roared loudly and rushed towards the north.
As soon as Ding Fan saw this situation, he immediately thought of whether Doudou had discovered something, and hurriedly followed after him.
It's just that yesterday's snowfall was a bit heavy, and the snow was already up to my knees, so it took a lot of effort to take every step.
When Ding Fan chased after Doudou, he found that Doudou had already begun to plank on the ground, but what it was planing was a bit intriguing.
In the past, Ding Fan had also seen Doudou digging holes outside, but every time Doudou was gouged out, it was either that was buried by someone, or dead things that were buried by people, as if since the ginseng was dug on the mountain last year, the pits it dug are all like this.
For this point, Ding Fan was no longer surprised, and even regretted that he had followed it here.
Let Doudou slowly plane in the pit, Ding Fan took a look around, no matter what, after all, this is also a location with footprints, which is somewhat useful.
As a result, after Ding Fan checked the surroundings a little, he found a small hole in a tree, and there were still some burnt marks around it.
If you don't look closely, most people won't be able to spot it!
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the traces left by the iron sand in the shotgun.
Shotgun?
Thinking of the shotgun, Ding Fan suddenly thought of the previous gunshot, which seemed to come from this direction, that is to say, this location is very likely to be the place where Zheng Sanpao came before.
Since Zheng Sanpao's shotgun appeared here, is it possible for Zheng Sanpao......
Ding Fan turned to look at Doudou on the side in surprise, now Doudou was still struggling to dig the snow on the ground, and occasionally a little bright red reflected a little red light from the snow.
After watching this scene, Ding Fan was frightened, rushed over like crazy, and reached out to dig up on the ground.
I don't know how deep the pit these people dug in the ground, Ding Fan doesn't know how long he dug around, and finally dug to the ground, and he didn't find the shadow of Zheng Sancang, only a shotgun was buried underneath, and there was still a little blood on the gun.
It's just that Zheng Sanpao's guns are all here, where did the others go?
Just as Ding Fan tilted his head to think about it, he suddenly heard a cough.
Ding Fan hurriedly turned around, casually pulled out the three @edges@ thorns on his body, and made a self-defense move.
As a result, after Ding Fan turned around, the person he saw turned out to be Zheng Sanpao!
Ding Fan didn't understand how he was digging a snow pit here for fear that Zheng Sanpao would die inside, but he was fine, and now he was smoking a cigarette, as if he was nothing.
"Third uncle, are you okay?" Ding Fan approached Zheng Sanpao in surprise, reached out and touched his face, and confirmed that he had a body temperature, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not right to think about it, there were blood stains in the pit on the ground before, it should have been left by Zheng Sanpao, why was he here?
