Chapter 6: The Cannibal Tragedy (I)
There are two things in the world that you can't look at:
One is the sun
One is human nature
- Keigo Higashino, "Malice"
Four hours later, that is, at two o'clock in the morning, Ding Yong and Li Kun, who had completed the handover, entered the tent and prepared to sleep, and the temperature in the tent was already very comfortable.
Ding Yong took off his coat and spread it under his body, at this time Zhao Yajun was already asleep, Ding Yong and Li Kun did not communicate again, and after a while, Ding Yong judged from Li Kun's even breathing that the other party was also asleep.
"Gollum ......"
Ding Yong's stomach screamed, it took a lot of physical strength to chop firewood in the first half of the night, and he was on duty until the early hours of the morning, and he was really hungry at the moment.
The light source outside the tent in front of him was beating at a rapid pace, and there was still the sound of cold wind behind him.
Don't look at it, the snow hasn't stopped for a moment.
This tent is an island at the moment, an island without civilization, no order, no food, and full of dangers.
"Gollum, Gollum......"
............
On the second day of being besieged by snow, six o'clock in the morning, it was more white night than early morning, and the only difference between day and night in this environment was that the chaotic world in front of us was black and white.
That's all.
Ding Yong gently pushed the sleeping Li Kun, Li Kun slowly sat up, supported the hat that was flattened by himself as a pillow with his hand, and put it on his head.
"Let's go, change them to rest......" Ding Yong was afraid of waking up Zhao Yajun, and he and Li Kun tiptoed towards the door of the tent.
Ding Yong put the shotgun on Li Kun's back ...... dropped, and several of them distributed the supplies before preparing to go up the mountain, Ding Yong knew that Li Kun was honest and reliable, so he handed over the wounding weapon to Li Kun, and the last two bullets were also quietly handed over to Zhao Yajun for safekeeping during the march.
This is responsible for the separation of guns and bullets, and these two people are the ones he trusts more among these people.
It seemed that everything was foolproof, until this moment, all the balance was completely broken by this shotgun......
"Captain, just hand me the gun, I lost the whole thing with the chopping wood on my back, and I couldn't find it when I looked for the snow. Zhao Yajun rubbed his eyes and said.
Ding Yong didn't think much about it, and handed it over to a 13-year-old child who didn't have to go out on duty, a small follower who usually obeyed his orders, and he couldn't be more relieved.
"Next!"
After Zhao Yajun picked up the shotgun, Ding Yong ran towards the fire outside the tent.
"Captain, I'm so hungry......" Zhao Yajun said in his heart.
But he couldn't help it, he remembered Feng Chun's words that mocked him for being incompetent, and Zhao Yajun swallowed the words back.
He knew that everyone was hungry, this was an endurance run, and he had to at least be the second to the bottom this time.
He rubbed the shotgun in his hand, thinking to himself, how many years have passed, can this thing still be good?
After a while, Zhang Fa and Feng Chun entered the tent to rest, they obviously lost their former vitality, and their faces were pale. The stomachs of the three of them, you ring and he rings, as if they are having a concert......
"I'm starving to death, how beautiful it would be to have a bowl of mush to eat now!" Zhang Fa said.
The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he was finally not the most uncompetitive one, but without this obsession, Zhao Yajun's hunger increased tenfold, and at this moment he felt that he was so hungry that his chest was against his back.
"I'm also hungry, I can't hold on anymore, I can't walk a single step, who the still has the strength to cut down branches again, I won't do it!" Feng Chun was also on the verge of physical exhaustion.
Suddenly, Ding Yong slammed in from outside the door and said tremblingly:
"Do you hear that?"
"What did you hear?" Feng Chun asked angrily.
"The wolf is coming, listening to the howl, there seems to be only one in front of the fire, it should also be hungry, I'm afraid it ......" Ding Yong became more and more excited.
"That'...... What are we going to do?" asked Zhang Fa.
"Slaughter wolves, take meat, today we and the wolf cubs can only live one, there is a wolf howl behind us, but the wolves are afraid of fire, it is estimated that they want to make us dumplings, waiting for us to starve to death, these things are too cunning. Ding Yong gritted his teeth and said.
"Captain, I'm afraid..."Zhao Yajun was just a child after all, and he actually cried in a hurry.
"Finish the calf thing, hold it back!" Zhao Yajun's cry strengthened Feng Chun's courage.
"Fight, runner-up, give me guns and bullets, you go and watch the fire outside, it's extinguished, we're all done, Zhang Fa, Feng Chun and Brother Lao Kun, let's go, get rid of the little wolf cub in front of us, and get it back to eat meat!" Ding Yong shouted.
"Fuck it, don't starve to death, go!"
"it!"
took the shotgun, the bullet was loaded, Ding Yong rushed to the front with it, followed by Feng Chun with a short shovel, Zhang Fa with a hand axe, and Li Kun with a rope......
Does Li Kun really regard himself as Nezha?
The answer is definitely not right, in fact, his original intention is very simple, his daughter-in-law said that the rope was lost, and he couldn't be spared when he came back.
So wherever he went, he had to carry the rope, and that's it.
Zhao Yajun trembled and picked up the meat knife left for him by Zhang Fa, walked out of the tent tremblingly, and sat by the fire to add firewood.
He watched the four of them run into the snow curtain, the sound of killing shook the sky, although the shouts were swallowed up by the wind after a while, but he finally had the bottom in his heart, four against one, we still have guns in our hands, we will definitely win.
The wolf meat must be old and fragrant, this time I want to eat it!
"Bang..." was the sound of gunshots, it was too loud, Zhao Yajun was very happy in his heart, he began to stand up, stretched his neck and looked ahead, expecting them to drag the wolf back.
Closer, closer, so fast!
Zhao Yajun looked at the faintly visible black shadow in front of him, and his heart was ecstatic.
Shotguns are invincible, he used to think.
Closer, closer, they were desperately running back, dragging the wolf on the run.
It's closer, it's closer, Zhang Fa is running in the front, his hands can't stop gesturing to this side, followed by Feng Chun and Li Kun, dragging the wolf to run, Captain Ding must be holding a shotgun in the back of the break, we still won!
Closer, closer, the smile on Zhao Yajun's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by panic, Zhang Fa was not gesturing anything, he wanted to escape from something too much, and ran back with his teeth and claws......
And the most terrifying thing is that Ding Yong was not followed by the broken back, Ding Yong was lying on the ground with his face facing the sky and his back to the ground, dragged away by Feng Chun and Li Kun, with a long bloodstain behind him, and the flesh on the calf and stomach of his right leg was gone......
Zhao Yajun only felt that his scalp was numb, and his stomach was turning upside down, this was the first time he saw Bai Sensen's leg bones, and this was also the first time he felt that he was going to die.
............
It turned out that the wolf was also unscrupulous, Ding Yong miscalculated the number of wolves, the four of them ran forward, and when they could see the outline of the wolf clearly, Ding Yong looked at it and gasped.
There were at least six wolves pounced at an alarming speed.
"Run, everyone run!" Ding Yong was shouting when he turned his head, suddenly felt a great pain in his right leg, and felt that the meat was caught by something, and when he looked down, the head wolf had arrived, and the speed was really amazing.
Ding Yong fell backwards and was dragged by Feng Chun and Li Kun.
"Shoot, what are you waiting for!" Zhang Fa shouted.
Ding Yong endured the pain and put the shotgun against the hungry wolf's head,
"Bang ......"
Ding Yong only felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the numb feeling ran down his wrist and climbed up his arm.
The wolf's head was blown to pieces, and the corpse rolled backwards, and the wolves chasing behind were obviously frightened, so they all stopped and gathered around the head wolf corpse.
Ding Yong looked down again, and he didn't feel bitter in his heart, he was really a hungry wolf, just one bite tore off a large piece of meat on his calf, the pain began to spread rapidly throughout his body, and the body's self-protection mechanism made his consciousness gradually blurred...
Ding Yong used his last strength to hand the shotgun to Feng Chun, and finally fainted, Feng Chun threw it to Zhang Fa, Zhang Fa pinned it to his waist, and began to run, Feng Chun and Li Kun dragged Ding Yong to follow.
If their life is a voyage, then it is from this moment that their ship of life deviates from course and begins to sail towards the abyss from which it will never return.
