Chapter 38 The discovery by the waterhole
Chen Guoliang knew that his younger brother was tired, so he patiently said to him: "Guodong is obedient, this will not be safe, let's leave here first." ”
Although Chen Guodong was young, he listened to his eldest brother very much, although he was very tired, he still listened to his eldest brother's words, packed up his back basket, and prepared to go down the mountain.
The three of them were in a hurry all the way, and Chen Guoliang was afraid that the two small ones would not be able to carry the basket, so he took turns to help the two small ones.
An hour later, the three of them were already far away from the waterhole, so they stopped to rest and prepare to eat something to replenish their strength.
Chen Guoliang opened his mouth at this time and said, "Guodong, do you know why the eldest brother left in such a hurry just now?"
"I don't know," Chen Guodong replied.
Chen Guoliang explained: "There are a lot of animal footprints around the big waterhole just now, and there are many wild boars, if we eat there and stay too long, catch up with the wild boars to drink water, then the lives of the three of us will have to be explained here today." Although there are no footprints of wolves or tigers there, it is a place where animals gather to drink, and no one can guarantee that there will be wolves or tigers there. Can you understand what my brother said?"
Chen Guodong thought about it and said to Chen Guoliang: "I know the eldest brother, I can understand." Don't worry, we'll go down the mountain as soon as we're done eating, and I'll never hold back. ”
After listening to Chen Guodong's words, Chen Guoliang touched his head dotingly, and the three of them hurriedly finished lunch, and then rushed down the mountain.
The location of the waterhole is not far from Guangming Village, and the three of them walked for two hours before returning to the village, and it was only past two o'clock in the afternoon.
There was no one on the way into the village, because it was very hot now, and most of the people were taking a nap at this time.
After the three of them arrived at Song's house, they were almost hot dogs, Chen Guoliang came to the well and fetched a bucket of cold water, and the three of them picked up the enamel tea jar and poured a large tea jar of cold water, only to feel that they were alive again.
Father Song heard the movement and walked out of the house, and when he saw that it was the three little ones, he asked, "What happened, why did you come back so early today?"
"Uncle Song, today we found a waterhole at the junction of Xiaoqingshan and Changbai Mountains, that waterhole is quite large, about the size of an acre of land, not far from here, we walked back from there, it took about two hours or so. The waterhole was lined with wild boar footprints and droppings, and the other footprint seemed to be a deer, which I couldn't quite recognize. I felt that the wild boar should be a herd of wild boars, and I was afraid that it would not be safe, so I led Reiko and Guodong back first. ”
After listening to this, Father Song returned: "Guoliang, you are doing the right thing, nothing is as important as life safety. Alright, you guys take a little break and I'll go talk to your dad about things. After finishing speaking, Father Song walked to Chen's house.
After arriving at Chen's house, Chen Changshan was not at home, Chen's mother said that he went to the brigade headquarters, and Song's father went to the brigade headquarters to find someone again.
Brigade Headquarters
After Father Song arrived, he saw Chen Changshan, and Chen Changshan asked, "Zhiyuan, why are you here?"
Song's father told Chen Changshan about the waterhole found by Chen Guoliang, "What the children found is these problems, I think we should find an experienced hunter to investigate the scene, so that it is more reassuring." ”
