Hailancha said that there was an expedition team from the east that brought a lot of equipment to their place to investigate, but it was not clear what exactly was being investigated, and the bitter cold land, eight months of the year is winter, the land is full of ice cover, and the short summer is full of mud swamps, and more than half of the two or three million square kilometers of land is forest, where the kingdom of animals is located, and even the locals dare not go too deep into the jungle.

Li Muye asked him where those people had gone.

Five hundred kilometers to the northeast, the mysterious Putolana Plateau is hidden in a vast primeval forest. "Putolan" means "kingdom of craggy lakes" in the language of the Evenks. Hailancha said that the high altitude, dense jungle and extremely harsh climate environment make it a territory that is difficult for humans to set foot in, and it is a paradise for giant bears and tigers.

Li Muye asked Zhang Fenglai, what is our purpose. The little evil came to inspect the scriptures, the water and the mountains, and after comparing them on the map, he finally concluded that the purpose of this trip was that place. Li Muye immediately made a decision, let's go there for a stroll.

This kind of thing is best to find someone who is familiar with the local environment as a guide.

The Evenks are the best guides in the forest. He is especially good at hunting, in addition to using hunting rifles, he will also use various hunting methods such as hunting, trapping, spear piercing, archery, dog catching, clips, net holsters, poison, and explosives. Children of the Evenks go hunting with adults from an early age, and at the age of 12 they can try their guns, hunt with their fathers and brothers, first learn to fight gray squirrels, and then learn to fight big beasts. By the age of sixteen or seventeen, they can hunt alone, and by the time they are young they are mostly good hunters.

The men of the whole village were good hunters, but the best was Bayar, the son of Hailancha. It's a pity that they have already followed the expedition team in front. The skills in the Bayar jungle were learned by Uncle Hailancha, and this old man's skills will naturally not be bad. The only problem was that the old man was a little older and didn't quite want to take the job.

He kept a lot of reindeer and sled dogs, and only three men remained in the family: him and his other son, and Bayar's eighteen-year-old son, Kachin. According to him, the second son met the Amur devil a few years ago, was bitten off an arm, and basically said goodbye to his hunting career. This so-called Amur devil is a notorious wild Siberian tiger in the region, and the reason why it is called the devil is because this tiger has a golden body, lacking the black stripes on the body of ordinary tigers.

As soon as Li Muye heard it, he thought that this was a strange beast called Biao.

During the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Yuan Haowen, who was respected as "Northern Wenxiong" and "Wenzong of the First Generation", recorded such a small story in "Guixin Miscellaneous Knowledge": "Yan Yun: When a tiger gives birth to three sons, there must be a biao." Biao is the most vicious, and he can eat tigers. Yu Wen Hunter Yun: Where the tiger crosses the water with his three sons, and thinks that the son will be eaten by Biao first, he must first bear Biao to the other side, and if he takes a son to the next time, he will return to Biao, and then he will take another son to Yan, and finally he will go to Biao. Gai is extremely obsessed with guarding, but he is afraid of eating his son. "

Biao is the most vicious of the three sons born to the tiger. Usually the tigress only gives birth to two cubs, and very occasionally a third cub will be born, which is Biao.

Biao is thin and weak due to congenital malnutrition, with only brown fluff and no black streaks of tiger skin. The tigress did not recognize such a child, did not feed it, kicked and bitten it away, and even took it to the wild land infested by hungry wolves and abandoned it. The king of the tigers, Xiao Biao, who was chased and abandoned by the tiger, of course, became the enemy of the beasts and was humiliated. Therefore, Biao generally dies during lactation and rarely survives.

But once he survived, Na Biao was extremely powerful and ferocious. Although it grows in purgatory-like conditions, it is often hungry to eat dead leaves and grass, animal carcasses, gnaw on dirt and stones, and drink sewage and dirty springs. Despite the constant scars and new injuries over the years, in order to survive, he had to learn to fly mountains, cross streams, climb trees, climb vines, and fight with beasts that were larger and ferocious than himself. It finally grew up and conquered all kinds of dangers and evils in life. The cry is like a wolf's howl, like a lion's roar, and has the coldest and most vicious temperament of each beast. And its first target was the biological tigress who had wanted to kill her, followed by the two siblings who were pampered by the tiger's reserve.

It's emotionless. Because life has given it nothing but hatred, hatred of all beasts, especially the behemoth that dominates the forest. But whenever a bully appears, it will come to the wind, but the bloody battle is not for anything. After fighting, they often have no time to lick blood and groan wounds, that is, they run to another battlefield. It is often injured and has not a single intact fur, and it cannot find a single unbroken bone after death, but it has extraordinary vitality, and the longevity of a surviving wild turtle is comparable to that of an old turtle.

According to Hailancha, the Amur devil is very fond of the jungle this season, and Plantona is its kingdom. Without adequate preparation, even local hunters would not venture deeper. The previous expedition team had more than a dozen swamp tracked vehicles, pulled a lot of equipment, and a lot of personnel and weapons, so he would agree to his son's going. And Li Muye, the three of them, obviously did not meet the standards of adequate preparation that he recognized.

Although Li Muye gave extremely generous conditions, the old man insisted on disagreeing, just emphasizing the horror of this Amur devil. He also said that if the three of them were just here for adventure hunting, they didn't have to go to Prentona at all, and there was a lot of fun in the nearby mountain woodlands, so they might as well stay and play for a few days. Li Muye readily agreed.

Hailancha's wife and two daughters-in-law are typical Evenki women, hardworking and capable, silent, for adult Evenki women, the lifestyle of women in the civilized world is distant and boring, they don't use cosmetics, and they don't care about dressing, because they never maintain their figures, plus the single food structure, so each of them is five big and three thick, don't look inconspicuous, do not be ambiguous in their work, and it will only take half an hour to kill an animal and skin it.

Li Muye is most concerned about the problem of eating, as the first instinctive need of human beings, all ethnic groups will instinctively find ways to make food more delicious on the basis of being full.

The Evenks eat mainly meat, which is basically the same as that of the Yakuts. Fish and caviar, grilled reindeer meat and salted reindeer jerky, paired with local blueberry wine, are a treat for them.

Hailancha's wife is good at making roasted reindeer meat, and Li Muye found that the taste of the cooking is really not bad. I deliberately looked at the seasoning she used, except for a pink rock salt used locally, she didn't put anything else, and then the pine branches used for barbecue.

The seasoning is simple, but the taste is excellent. Sure enough, in response to that sentence, tasting nature is the true meaning of cooking.

There is no legal age limit for marriage, and it is common for people to start a family in their teens. The elder Hylancha was not yet sixty years old, but he had a sixteen-year-old grandson, who came back from outside with a pack of dogs during dinner, with rough skin and dark complexion, and looked like a middle-aged man of thirty years old. Only a pair of eyes are dark and bright, with the curiosity and impulsiveness of a teenager.

The little evil is also a child in the mountains, although the education and training received since childhood are not the same, but the nature of the teenager is close, Kachin can only speak his own language, and the little evil can only speak Chinese.

In the evening, Li Muye and Xiaofen returned to the car for the night, and Xiao Weilai took the initiative to stay in someone's tent and continued to talk with the young man at night.

Although there is no tour guide, Li Muye does not plan to change the original planned itinerary, Hailancha said, along the river road upstream more than 100 kilometers to Krasnoyarsk City, where you can buy the equipment needed to enter the mountain, you can also find professional tour guides and their car camp in the mountains, it is definitely the first choice for travelers who come to Central Siberia.

At night, the dog in the village kept barking, and the two could not sleep, Li Muye personally checked the supplies on the car, determined the items that needed to be replenished and the next day's trip and returned to the car. chatted with Xiao Fen, who was also unable to sleep, until the second half of the night, and fell asleep with the incessant barking of dogs.

The next morning, Li Muye prepared some food and spirits, and personally went to the door to bid farewell to the Hailancha family, and by the way, beckoned the little evil to come and prepare to go on the road. As a result, he was surprised to find that the little evil was gone, and the boy was missing at the same time. Hailancha recalled that the two teenagers slept in the same room last night, communicating by gesturing and learning each other's language, and they continued to make noise until the second half of the night, and the others had already slept, and no one paid attention to their movements.

Li Muye thought about it for a moment, and could imagine what was going on, so he searched carefully in the tent, and unsurprisingly found a note they left behind.

Little Evil came to write in his own handwriting: Uncle, Sister Fen, please forgive me for not saying goodbye for the time being, I went into the mountain with Kachin, last night the two of us became brothers, we discussed using reindeer to pull a wooden plow into the mountain, I helped him find his father, and he helped me find treasure by the way.

He has a dozen Caucasian hounds, and at the same time he is also a good driver of a wooden plough truck, the two of us can talk very well, I don't say that I can't talk to the two of you, but I think you adults always have a lot of ideas and are very complicated, and my idea is very simple, it is rare to make a friend, now his father has lost contact, he is very worried, the Evenks sometimes walk for months in the mountains, but they will not forget to communicate with the family to report safety, he thinks this matter is very unusual, so I think I should help him.

And he wants to help me find the treasure I want. I think it's a pretty good decision and I'm sure we'll be a great combination to take care of ourselves. I won't be on my phone for three days, and you won't have to try to contact me, and after three days, we'll be deep in the mountains, and you two can scold me as much as you want, but trust me to bring back something out of the ordinary to show you.

Adolescent teenagers often act unexpectedly, these two are bold people, it is the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Dapeng spread its wings and hate the low age, once a decision is formed in the mind, there is no concept of what the consequences will be. The two of them ran away overnight, and it is estimated that they have already walked into the old forest for a long time.

Li Muye translated the words of the little evil to the old Hailancha, and the old man was anxious after hearing this, and he beat his chest and said: "How is this good, how is it so good?" Li Muye asked him: "It's useless for you to be anxious now, think about it quickly, how can you catch up with these two children as quickly as possible?"

Hailancha hurriedly ran out of the tent and ran to the reindeer pen, and Li Muye and Xiaofen followed along. After checking it around, Old Hailancha frowned and said: "The two little dolls were afraid of being caught up by us, so they cut the leather rope, and it took more than an hour to replace it with a new one, and most of the jerky was also taken away, and it took a few hours to roast it freshly, so I couldn't catch up." ”

Li Muye asked, "Then do you know which direction they will go from, and can my car drive in?"

"No way!" Hailancha categorically denied: "The old forest has a route suitable for walking tracked cars, but in this season you have to be very careful, no one can be rescued from falling into the swamp, my reindeer are the best here, and now there is no other modern means of transportation to catch up with them except airplanes." ”

Xiao Fen has always taken care of Xiao Evil as his own brother, and he was a little anxious at this time, so he grabbed Li Muye's hand and said, "Uncle, ask him quickly, where can we rent a plane, Xiao Evil and the boy have been gone all night, this mountain is so dangerous, I am worried that it will be too late." ”

Li Muye calmly comforted her and said: "You treat him as your own child, so some concerns are chaotic, you know the ability of the little evil, that child is also a good hunter, these two children will not have any major problems in a short time, the most important thing for us now is to stay calm and find the right means of transportation as soon as possible." ”

"Let's go to Krasnoyarsk. Hailancha said: "There should be no contradiction with their route, and as long as you have money over there, you can buy everything you need!"

"So what are you waiting for, hurry up and hit the road. Li Muye made a decisive decision.

Hailancha said: "I'll show you the way......"
