Volume 1 Chapter 2: Bears Don't Eat the Dead?
It was getting dark, and after a little dinner with his father and mother, Nebula lay down on the bed.
At night, a full moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled on the earth. On the round moon, it was as if a fairy could be seen floating by.
In the warm bed, the nebula gradually fell asleep.
In the confusion, he seemed to see a vague white figure, and vaguely saw the figure of a woman.
He tried hard to see clearly, but found that it was still foggy and blurry, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see clearly.
Unable to even move his body, he looked around and found that his surroundings were like floating clouds, and he didn't know where it was.
"Is it a dream?" Nebula couldn't help but think.
The white figure had come to Nebula at some point.
Nebula could see her raise her indistinct little hand and caress it gently over his face.
"Good warm hands. "This is the first feeling of the nebula.
Her little hands stayed longer than Nebula had imagined.
It seems to be carefully feeling a treasure.
When she withdrew her hand, Nebula felt a sense of reluctance.
She didn't make any other moves, she just watched Nebula quietly until his consciousness became blurred.
The next day.
Nebula opened her sleepy eyes and remembered the dream she had had last night.
Is that really a dream? Why is it so real?
"Oh no!" Nebula looked at the sun that was already hanging high, and the dark path was not good, and it seemed that he was going to be late again.
Xingyun turned over, got dressed, said goodbye to A-Niang, and ran out in a hurry without even eating breakfast.
Asahiyama, under a big tree, the big tree and the stone are leaning against the tree, talking.
Stone: "Big tree, this guy Xingyun is late again, let's not wait for him." It's true that the time of our meeting is fixed, I really don't know how this guy keeps missing it. ”
"Perhaps, something happened to him. "The big tree exonerates Nebula.
Shi raised his eyebrows: "What can he do, and he is not an adult." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a boy running in the distance, and shouted as he ran: "Stones, big trees, I'm coming." ”
Shi Shi clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the nebula who ran to the side, and said mockingly: "You person, why don't you have a sense of time, every time you gather, you are the last to arrive." ”
"Huh. Nebula laughed dryly, not knowing how to explain it, accidentally had a dream, and then overslept?
"Now that we're here, let's hurry up. Big Tree said.
Nebula glanced at the tree gratefully.
Shi Shi took out three backpacks and said, "Look, this is what I borrowed from Aunt Liu, enough for us to go up the mountain for a bumper harvest this time, and we will go to the sea later." ”
The stones were very well prepared, and after the three of them were ready, they set out for the mountains.
Xingyun found that there was actually a bow on the back of the big tree, and wondered: "Big tree, what are you doing with the bow, do you know how to shoot arrows?"
The stone also cast a curious gaze.
Dashu looked at the two of them and explained, "I've been practicing archery for two years, and I'm just carrying a bow for self-defense, for fear of accidents." ”
"I can't see it, you can also use archery skills, you can hide deep enough. Nebula approving.
Nebula also knew for the first time that the big tree would also use a bow.
"What danger can this Asahiyama have, we have all been in and out more than a dozen times. Stone said again.
The big tree didn't speak.
Nebula didn't agree with the stone's words, how could he walk by the river without getting his shoes wet, and no one knew if there was any danger in this mountain.
Perhaps it was the confirmation of his thoughts, and a strange beast roar came, the sound was clearly audible, as if it was not far away.
“???”
The three of them looked at each other.
"Asahiyama hasn't had a beast for many years, and now we have actually touched it. Stone said.
"Well, we can deal with this beast, so it's better to be careful. Nebula Insurance said.
"What are you afraid of, doesn't the big tree know archery, let him shoot that thing to death, and bring it back, we will be the heroes of the village." The more he spoke, the more angry he became, as if he had seen a group of people boasting about him.
"Well, it's not good. "Nebula thinks a lot, three children hunting a beast of prey?
But the stone said to the big tree, "Big tree, do you have faith?"
Taishu didn't say anything, and took out the bow in his hand from behind his back to show his confidence in himself.
Shi looked at Xingyun proudly: "Xingyun, do you see it, the big trees are confident, what are you afraid of?"
Nebula was dumbfounded.
In silence, the stone was already walking in the direction where the sound came from, and the big tree followed him, and Nebula had no choice but to follow.
The three of them walked through the woods, and at last, they found the beast by a stream.
"It's a black bear, alas. Stone exclaimed in surprise.
"Shh Nebula covered Stone's mouth.
Wait for the stone to calm down before letting go of him.
The black bear did not notice them, and walked on its own in the stream, its front paws digging into the water, as if it was digging for something.
It took half a day to raise his paws and send a fish to his mouth, and the black bear's foraging method Nebula was the first time to see it, and it was amazing.
The stone learned obediently this time, and lowered his voice and said, "Big tree, you can't do it, this black bear looks so big." ”
Nebula nodded, this black bear looked two meters tall, and the three of them with a large body couldn't compare to each other.
The big tree held the bow and said, "If I can get within thirty paces of it, I am confident that I will shoot it." ”
Thirty paces, or about forty meters, is a distance that is almost impossible for a seven-year-old to shoot.
You don't necessarily have the strength to pull the bow away.
Looking at the thin arms and legs of the big tree, it doesn't look like it has that strength.
What's more, they were at least 100 meters away from the black bear, and if they were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't forget about the big tree. Xingyun said, compared to being the so-called hero, life is more precious.
"I want to try. Big Tree said firmly.
When the words fell, he had already crept out.
Nebula could only look at his back anxiously.
The stone patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, you have to trust the big tree." ”
The big tree squatted and moved slowly, the nebula and the stone did not keep up, and the movement would be greater when there were more people.
The tree was already close to his shooting distance, but the black bear didn't notice it in the slightest, with his back to the tree, and stood up like a human and raised his two paws to send a fish into his mouth.
"Good opportunity. Big Tree thought to himself.
The big tree quickly drew out three arrows, drew his bow and arrows, and shot out the three arrows in one go.
Seeing this scene, Nebula was shocked, he could really pull the bow and shoot three arrows at once! Is this a seven-year-old child?
The three arrows were about to pass through the black bear's chest, but suddenly a gust of wind blew the arrows off.
Three arrows were shot at the black bear's leg, one on the front paws, and one into the air.
"Roar!" the bear roared in pain.
Oh no, Nebula secretly said something bad in his heart.
The black bear turned and glared angrily at the direction the arrow had come from, its gaze locked on the little boy with the bow.
"Big Tree, Run!"
Stone and Nebula shouted at the same time.
But the tree again drew his bow and arrows, and shot the only two remaining arrows.
This time, the black bear was on guard, and as soon as its nimble body lay down, arrows flew overhead.
If he misses, the big tree pulls out his legs and runs away. The black bear ran after him on all fours, vowing to tear apart the man who had injured him.
However, one of his front paws and hind legs was injured, and his speed slowed down, allowing him to keep a certain distance from the tree.
Nebula and Stone took off their backpacks and smashed them at the black bear, then ran away without looking back.
The black bear's movements were blocked, but it stimulated its animalistic nature, and its movements became faster, as if it had gone crazy, chasing them.
"We split up. Nebula spoke, taking the lead in parting.
Running together is not a way after all, only by escaping separately can there be hope, and then find people from the village to come to the rescue.
The trees and stones also parted.
The black bear was stunned where they were separated, and randomly chose someone to chase after them.
It should be said that it is better to die than to die, it is far away from the direction of the nebula.
"Damn, this bear is chasing me. ”
Xingyun secretly scolded his mother and ran desperately.
Passing through the forests, the clumps of grass, and I don't know how long he ran, the black bear still followed him closely, believing that if it hadn't been injured, I am afraid that it would have caught up with the nebula.
"Roar!"
The roar of the beast was still loud behind him, but Nebula had lost the strength to run.
For a six-year-old, how far can he run with physical strength?
Exhausted, Nebula tripped over the vines of a large tree and fell to the ground, the impact of which cut the skin of his hands and feet, and blood gushed out.
The black bear was approaching, and when he was in danger, Nebula thought of a fable from his previous life.
It is said that bears do not eat dead people, and as long as he pretends to be dead, he may be able to have a glimmer of life.
So he closed his eyes and quietly held his breath.
The black bear quickly pounced in front of him, looked at the Nebula lying on the ground, it gently lowered its head, rested its nose on Nebula's face, sniffed, and stuck out its tongue to lick it.
Nebula held his breath nervously, and he could even hear his own heartbeat in one move.
After waiting for a while, he didn't notice any movement of the black bear, he opened his eyes slightly, and observed the outside world through the slit.
I secretly rejoiced in my heart: sure enough, the fable does not deceive me.
Nebula saw that the black bear stood up straight, twisted slightly, and seemed to be about to leave.
"Yes, let's go, let's go. Xingyun urged in his heart, secretly scolding the bear for being a bear, which was really stupid.
The black bear, which was about to leave, suddenly stopped, and its nose smelled a strong smell that stimulated its animalistic nature.
It leaned over and looked down at Nebula's wounded, bleeding hands and feet.
Nebula wondered in his heart, "Why hasn't it left yet?"
At this moment, the black bear suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit down towards the nebula.
"Damn, sure enough, fables are all lies. Nebula dodged the black bear's attack with all his might, and crashed into the vine-strewn tree.
A new round of attack by the black bear followed, and Nebula closed his eyes in despair. Are you going to die?" he thought to himself.
