A breeze, blowing through the woods on the opposite bank, turned the river and blew towards the lake. The trees on the riverbank rustled. The breeze can blow away the irritating heat in the forest, but it can't blow away the murderous aura of a badger.

"Boss...... Misunderstanding......"

Strictly speaking, this is an oolong. But the embarrassment is embarrassing, even Gu Lang feels that he is quite excessive.

Think about it, the genius Meng Mengliang ran to the river to catch fish, and waited until the sun was completely out to get a palm-sized one. Let's not talk about the hard work, I was still counting on a beautiful breakfast, even if there is no condition to braise or steam, there is a hot meal, right? But I have to pull people to the river, and I volunteered to help them deal with it.

And then, the fish are gone.

Wang Ping is so angry.

At this time, Gu Lang was squatting on the slope by the water, his upper body turned to face Wang Ping, and his two hands were waving slightly embarrassed, not knowing where to put them.

"I'll catch you another one! Don't worry! Soon! I'll ...... I'll catch it right away! Let me tell you, I also grew up in the countryside, and my family is also green and green, and when I was a child, I used to catch fish in the river. I'm good at this!"

Probably because I think the explanation is too pale. Gu Lang decided to use practical actions to prove that he really didn't mean it.

"The most important thing about catching fish is the tools! You see, we have a bucket in our hands, and I can make a simple fish basket from the bucket. ”

While talking non-stop, trying to divert Wang Ping's attention, he picked up the bucket and soaked it in the water, and after the bucket was completely soaked in water, Gu Lang stood the bucket slightly diagonally on the sand and gravel at the bottom of the water, and the mouth of the bucket was facing the direction where the water flowed.

"I'll fix the bottom of the bucket first, and I'll grab a few earthworms and put them in later. Because the water flows into the bucket all the time, the earthworms don't come out......"

The more Wang Ping thought about it, the more angry he became. At this time, seeing Gu Lang pouting and squatting on the shore to work, a thought couldn't stop popping up.

Circling behind Gu Lang, Wang Pingren stood up and moved his two 20-centimeter little arms from side to side a little funny. Then raise your paw and slap ......

"Smack!"

"Oops!"

Gu Lang only felt that someone suddenly slapped him hard on the buttocks, and couldn't help but exclaim. Subconsciously raised his hand to cover it.

The center of gravity shifted forward, and when Gu Lang secretly exclaimed in his heart, the whole person had already uncontrollably thrown down to the surface of the river, and plunged into the bucket he had just made at the bottom of the water.

"Poof!"

"Gollum~~~~~ Ahh......h

Accidentally swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, Gu Lang fluttered twice, touched the bottom of the water with his hand and turned over, before sitting up from the water with a bucket. A bucket of water poured down his neck, and it leaked for a long time before it stopped.

The depth of the water by the river is less than one meter, and sitting in it is only up to Gu Lang's chest. But fortunately, he plunged into the bucket, otherwise those stones at the bottom of the water would have been enough for Gu Laosan to drink a pot.

Looking at the initiator on the shore, he raised his arm again, and looked at the bandages that had been completely soaked, Gu Lang sighed helplessly.

This is self-inflicted, and no one else is to blame.

At this time, a burst of elephant cries came from the northwest direction. Judging by the sound, it can be seen that this is not the sound of an elephant, but the collective chirping of the elephants.

"Ang~~~~!"

One after another, Gu Lang in the water and Wang Ping on the shore were stunned, and they couldn't help but look in the northwest direction.

Normally, humans can't hear elephants. Because creatures like this usually communicate with an infrasound wave that cannot be captured by the human ear. If the distance is too far away and beyond the transmission range of infrasound waves, another "radio" similar method will be used, which is to stomp your feet.

The paws of elephants are large enough to transmit vibrations from the ground to their inner ears through their bones. In addition, because of their size, elephants have a lot of strength. This method of communication can even be transmitted as far as 32 kilometers. It's farther than cell phone coverage.

The sound that humans can hear is not actually the sound of an elephant with its mouth, but the sound of a "trumpet" made by the proboscis . There are nearly 100,000 muscles on the trunk, large and small, which can be used to grasp things and "blow the trumpet" in addition to smelling, breathing, and drinking.

When the air that an elephant breathes quickly comes out of its long trunk, it makes a very high-pitched sound. It's like a man playing a trumpet. Therefore, the sound of elephants heard by humans is obviously different from other animals.

At this time, the elephant herd in the distance seems to be collectively "blowing the trumpet". This kind of voice seems to have a power that penetrates people's hearts, which is completely different from the cries that Gu Lang heard on TV or in the zoo before. There was a sense of sadness and helplessness, as if he was paying tribute to something.

If you have to describe it, Gu Lang can only say that at this moment, he suddenly remembered the air defense sirens that would sound in the city every September.

After glancing at Wang Ping, Gu Lang said, "It sounds like it is in the same direction as last night's gunshot, and it seems that the distance is about the same." ”

"We have to go and see what happened!" was Wang Ping's first thought.

This is already a professional habit imprinted in the bones. Once you hear this very unusual animal cry in the wild, you will always think of the poacher at first time, and then go to find out.

Moreover, Wang Ping originally planned to go to the place where the gun was fired at night after breakfast.

Just, do you want to take this goods with you?

Wang Ping looked at Gu Lang, who was still sitting under the water and holding a bucket and couldn't come out, and hesitated.

Xiaohua runs to the woods to feed, the time is not fixed, and it depends on the will of God when she will come back. Wang Ping is not worried that when he is away, Xiaohua will burst out and hurt people. On the contrary, he was more worried about what Gu Lang would come up with.

As long as there is mental calculation or no intention, Wang Ping does not believe that Gu Lang will have no means to deal with Xiaohua. Especially the small flowers that are not defended.

"It seems that before leaving, I have to find a way to teach Xiaohua a lesson. ”

Raising his paw and pointing in the northwest direction, Wang Ping turned his head to look at Gu Lang.

"What? Do you want to go and see it?"

To be honest, Gu Lang was also very curious about what happened to make the elephant herd make such a call. But if it weren't for Wang Ping's instructions, he wouldn't have gone himself.

Curiosity kills cats, and it kills people.

Although Wang Ping's appearance didn't look like he had any combat effectiveness, maybe because he was saved by Wang Ping, Gu Lang always subconsciously felt that it was safer to stay with him. So if Wang Ping wanted to go, Gu Lang didn't hesitate.

But let's go back and change your clothes first......

Picking up the bucket and carrying it with a bucket of water, Gu Lang and Wang Ping returned to the stronghold again. Gu Lang removed the bandages that were already soaked, found two more dried ones, and wrapped them around his body a few more times, covering the water-stained wounds, and then changed into dry clothes.

Wang Ping, on the other hand, jumped into the car, turned Gu Lang's cottage tiger tooth saber out again, and threw it at his feet.

This was the first time that Wang Ping took the initiative to ask Gu Lang to bring a weapon. Even Gu Lang himself was stunned for a moment, looked at him for a few seconds before picking up the knife.

In fact, taking a knife is just a precaution. Wang Ping didn't think the people who shot last night were still there.

Quite simply, if it was really a poacher and encountered an elephant herd, he would have been shot at this moment.

After making preparations, Wang Ping and Gu Lang left the stronghold and walked in a straight line in the northwest direction.

Rounding the small lake 200 meters away, the two walked two kilometers further, and by this time, the sound of the elephant herd was very clear. It felt like it was just a few hundred meters away.

Gu Lang subconsciously lowered his body, slowed down his steps, and at the same time held the handle of the knife tightly with one hand, full of nervousness.

As for what he was nervous about, Gu Lang himself couldn't say clearly.

In this kind of woodland, Wang Ping's running speed was much faster than Gu Lang's. Skip the bushes and crosswoods in the forest in three or two.

After walking for about 300 meters, my eyes suddenly opened up. Gu Lang and Wang Ping stood behind a human-height tree sapling at the edge of the woods and looked at each other.

The whole forest seems to have been cut by nature here.

On the opposite side of the two, an endless plain stretches far along a slightly sloping level. Large meadows and scattered trees dot the dots. Standing on the edge of the woods, you can even see the shadows of animals scattered all over the grassland.

However, at this time, the attention of the two was completely attracted by the scene from a hundred meters away.

Nearly 100 elephants formed a circle on the grass 100 meters away, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little restless, and from time to time the elephants raised their heads and stretched out their proboscis to let out a mournful roar. The sound was exactly the same as what I had heard before.

And through the gap between the elephants, Wang Ping saw a piece of blood.
