Chapter 26: Bad News and News
"Drink!" Xu Wu inhaled heavily, almost thinking he was going to die.
He watched the snake kiss keep approaching him, and the tip of his nose could already smell the earthy smell emanating from the snake's mouth.
The next moment, just when he thought he was going to die, he suddenly returned to his room.
He let out a long breath and yelled at Phantom Moon: "Phantom Moon, you are deliberately right, you are deliberately playing tricks on me, right, knowing that you can teleport me back from danger, deliberately teasing me, telling me what methods and methods." You just want to see me laugh!"
"Ahh I thought you wouldn't find out, after all, I hid it so well. Phantom Moon looked at Xu Wu, who was naked and flushed, with a smile on his face that could not be concealed.
Xu Wu was like a humiliated evil tiger, and pounced on the Phantom Moon.
After habitually pounced in the air, Xu Wu's voice was a little distorted and roared: "If you didn't have a body, I would definitely teach you a good lesson." ”
"Island master, your IQ is really not high, haven't you noticed that after this chase with the python, you have completely adapted to the changes in your body? Phantom Moon appeared on the other side, spread her hands, shook her little head and said.
Xu Wu forcibly calmed himself down, thinking back to the whole process just now, feeling the blood flow in his body, it seemed that it was really what Phantom Moon said.
"Forget it this time, just tell me if there is a way to do it next time? Really, this feeling of dying is terrible. Xu Wu said to Phantom Moon with doubts.
Putting aside the previous shadow of death, Xu Wu consciously opened the island and inquired about the rabbit for the experiment.
Because of the mark of the phantom moon, Xu Wu quickly found the rabbit he experimented with. (During the previous experiment, Phantom Moon made it specially to make it easier for Xu Wu to find the test rabbit.) )
The mother rabbit seems to have nothing abnormal, and is still eating all kinds of food collected from the past to meet her nutritional needs during pregnancy.
Time flies, especially when focused.
Xu Wu only felt that after a while, the little rabbit was born.
The mother rabbit kept wheezing, blood kept flowing out of her lower abdomen, and the little rabbit couldn't move, stuck in the place where it was born.
Is it a difficult birth? Is it because the body is too big, and it causes a difficult birth? Damn, has it failed again?
"Phantom Moon, how can I save them? Teleport over? But I can't do surgery. Xu Wu thought to himself. It's just that his mind is in a mess, and he can't think of anything at all.
Just as Xu Wu is sinking into guilt and resentment, the island picture is constantly changing.
The smell of blood continued to evaporate, attracting a gray wolf in the distance.
The gray wolf kept approaching, and as the distance approached, the movement became more and more determined. It clearly felt that there was delicious food in front of it, and the tempting smell seemed to turn into a tangible signpost, guiding it in the direction of progress. Dinner has arrived.
The enticing aroma tugged at its nose and pointed to the lush grass.
The gray wolf obediently walked over to the grass and patted tentatively with his paws—empty.
Sure enough, there was something down there, food, right down there.
The gray wolf pulled away the weeds that were in the way, and his hands continued to plan, and the dirt was driven backwards. The rabbit hole was rapidly expanding, and the gray wolf's emerald eyes could already see some traces of blood flowing out.
As the gray wolf continued to dig, the smell of blood became more and more intense, and it had turned into a big hand, constantly pushing its body downward.
Peeling off, arching, probe, the gray wolf has a whole set of movements smooth and natural, relying on a keen sense of smell, in the dark, it directly opens its mouth to bite a huge rabbit.
After confirming that it had bitten its target, the gray wolf dragged the rabbit out of the burrow with continuous exertion of his limbs.
The rabbit was already so weak that it didn't even struggle, and was dragged out of the burrow by the wolf's fangs.
As the gray wolf dragged, a blood mark was pulled out intermittently. A stronger smell of blood, along with the wind, spread into the distance.
While the gray wolf was biting at its booty, another gray wolf that smelled blood approached it.
Let's call the gray wolf who first found the rabbit Gray Wolf A, and the second gray wolf who arrives is called Gray Wolf B.
Gray Wolf A stopped eating, his red mouth opened angrily, his yellow-black eyes stared at the new gray wolf B, and the muscles of his whole body tensed, as if as long as the other party dared to take another step forward, he would launch an endless battle.
Gray Wolf B stopped, and he could feel the other party's maintenance of his food. The smell of each other is also in the air, and this is the territory of Gray Wolf A.
If it dares to step in, or even steal the other party's food, it means declaring war on the other party.
This is unacceptable for any gray wolf, and it is a great shame comparable to snatching a mate.
However, such a fat rabbit, the other party will definitely not be able to eat it alone! Ah, what is that? It seems to be a rabbit too.,It's the first time I've seen such a small rabbit.,What kind of texture will it be?,It looks like it's soft and delicious.。
Seeing that the other party stopped, Gray Wolf A even took a step back, feeling that he had already shocked the other party, and lowered his head again, tearing his booty.
It tastes even more delicious now, and it's great to have a contrast.
Gray Wolf B counted the pink bunnies that had fallen to the ground, one, two, three, four, three, two...... No, don't, I want to try it too, damn it, you've eaten so much, leave me some.
"Whew!" Gray Wolf B let out a roar, exerted strength in his limbs, and instantly pounced on Gray Wolf A.
Caught off guard, Gray Wolf A was pounced on, and then the two gray wolves scuffled, biting each other, competing for strength and perseverance.
Scattered on the ground were two cubs larger than normal bunnies, their chests rising and falling slightly as the meadow undulated.
It's just that Xu Wu, who is just through the projection, naturally won't notice these small details, and when he saw the gray wolf dragging the mother rabbit out of the hole, he already knew that this experiment would not have any results.
"Alas, it's really difficult, it actually makes the rabbit difficult to give birth. It seems that the pups are too large because they stay too long during the division period. Xu Wu spread his hands and lay on the ground in large characters.
The cold ground also seemed to be difficult to dispel the irritability in Xu Wu's heart, Xu Wu turned over again, jumped onto the bed, hugged the quilt and endured it, not letting the tears flow out.
I killed a few more lives, if it weren't for me, those rabbits should be born smoothly, and then start their own lives, right?
It's all my fault!
"Jingle bell!" The sudden ringing interrupted Xu Wu's self-blame process, Xu Wu crawled to the table in a daze, picked up his mobile phone, and looked at the call.
Sister Xing: Is there anything looking for me? It's not my time to go to work.
"Hey, Sister Xing, isn't there enough people in the store?" Xu Wu asked in a low voice and listlessly as he connected his mobile phone.
It was only the subsequent content that Xu Wu had to force himself to cheer up.
"Eh, Xiao Wu, tell you something, don't get excited. The rabbit you kept in the store just died, so come and take care of the aftermath with me if you have time. If you can't accept the parting, I can handle it myself, do you need to send me a video?" Sister Xing spoke a little slowly, as if she wanted to give a different statement through Xu Wu's reaction.
Xu Wu took a deep breath and gave his somewhat broken mind a chance to breathe. said to Sister Xing: "It's okay, I'll come over." It's my responsibility and I'll take care of it myself. ”
Sister Xing said with some doubts: "Don't put anything on yourself, how can such a serious complication be your responsibility." The rabbit may have had a mutation in the immune system, causing the symptoms. It is so susceptible to infection, especially after the second infection, that it even has a severe inflammatory reaction, and the equipment in the store is too rudimentary to cope with it. ”
Xu Wu's voice was a little choked and said, "No, it's really my fault, I'll come over now." ”
Quickly put on a short-sleeved shirt and ran towards the pet store.
It seemed to understand Xu Wu's anxious mood, and the large clouds blocked the strong sunlight, allowing Xu Wu to avoid some physical pain, and spend all his energy running at full speed.
The body of the rabbit has stiffened, and I heard Sister Xing say that it seems that it was found dead when the store opened this morning. At that time, he was short of breath, and because the inflammatory response was too strong, he had difficulty breathing and finally suffocated.
In other words, did it die in the end? Xu Wu trembled his hand and gently stroked the stiff rabbit, sorry, sorry.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Tears flowed down their faces, wetting the rabbit's brown hair.
Sister Xing patted Xu Wu's back and persuaded: "Let's find a place to bury it, and it can be regarded as being buried in the ground." ”
Xu Wu shook his head, remembering the rabbit on the island that was basically not very rotten, and knew that it was probably difficult for this rabbit to decompose in the outside world, so he naturally would not agree to the burial.
"Cremation. After speaking, Xu Wu picked up the rabbit, walked out of the store, and got into Sister Xing's car.
The two prepared some materials for cremation, and then drove to a deserted suburb and began preparations for cremation.
On the way, Xu Wu suddenly shouted at Sister Xing: "Sister Xing, stop the car, I'll buy something." ”
When Sister Xing watched Xu Wu come back with a big jar, she probably guessed what he was trying to do, and she didn't say anything, she started the fire again and drove towards her goal.
In fact, there was nothing to prepare, just picked up some dead branches and leaves around, built a hollow and ventilated simple shelf, and then, Xu Wu put the rabbit's corpse on the shelf.
After retreating, Xu Wu clasped his palms together, bowed to the rabbit, and said, "I'm sorry, if I hadn't brought you here, you wouldn't have to suffer such pain." I know that no matter what I say, I will not bring you back to life, and no matter what I do now, it will not alleviate the pain you have suffered. Still, I hope to do something for you. At the very least, I can let you see the ocean, and at least, I can let you die without having to keep your body trampled on. At least, I ......"
"You can live with its wishes, Xiao Wu, the rabbit must be very glad to have an owner like you who thinks about it, don't blame yourself too much. Let's put a stick of incense on it, and then we'll send it on its way. Sister Xing patted Xu Wu on the back and handed the incense she had just lit to Xu Wu.
Xu Wu nodded, took the incense and bowed to the rabbit three times, and then inserted it into the ground.
After all the rituals were done, Xu Wu took the branch that was on fire, and after taking one last look at the rabbit, he stretched the branch into the hay.
The flames rose up like vines, sucking the nutrients of the earth, and then climbed up around the wooden frame, covering the rabbit's body.
As the rabbit's body gradually burned, a faint fragrance emanated around, it was not a meat fragrance, but more like a kind of sandalwood.
Sister Xing thought it was an illusion at first, but as the rabbit was burned more and more severely, the sandalwood fragrance became more and more intense, making her extremely sure that it was the rabbit corpse that came out.
She asked Xu Wu, "Xiao Wu, I seem to smell a sandalwood fragrance, do you smell it?"
Xu Wu nodded, there was no doubt and curiosity on his face like Sister Xing, some were only a little sad, sandalwood? Yes, it's all his fault.
didn't get Xu Wu's reply, Sister Xing realized that Xu Wu was in a bad mood now, so she didn't ask any further, probably because this rabbit ate something sandalwood that was burned now.
......
On the way back, Xu Wu held the ashes of the rabbit and remained silent, and Sister Xing was a little heartbroken.
Because she is a person who loves pets very much, she now understands Xu Wu's mood very well. The guilt of not taking good care of your pet, and the loneliness of the death of your beloved pet.
It's really, really uncomfortable.
Sister Xing stopped the car at a dessert shop and said to Xu Wu: "Xiao Wu, I invite you to eat some sweets and add some sugar." It can make you feel better. ”
Xu Wu nodded, he didn't eat at lunch, and he was indeed quite hungry.
There weren't many people in the dessert shop, just a couple chatting and a waiter playing with their phones to pass the time.
After each of them ordered the cake they wanted to eat, they fell silent.
Sister Xing didn't know what to say to comfort Xu Wu. Xu Wu wanted to be quiet.
In such an atmosphere, the voices of the only couple who spoke seemed somewhat clear.
"Honey, ah, take a bite of chocolate. ”
"This matcha cake is also good, you try it. ”
"I'll try, but I want you to feed me. ”
"I can't stand you, come on!"
Just when Xu Wu thought that the two of them would go down like this, you and me.
The girl suddenly said, "Hey, dear, do you know? My cousin, the one who worked as a reporter in the field magazine, told me that she was almost dead this time." ”
"What's wrong? Didn't you say last time that you were just going to an island to do a survey report?"
"yes, it's an island that suddenly appeared to explore. But who knows, that island is evil, listen to my cousin, there are so many dangerous creatures on that island, she has almost been eaten several times. Their entire team didn't dare to go deeper, so they stopped on it for two days and then escaped. Even the camera was broken. ”
"It's good to be alive, but your cousin must have written a good report on such a dangerous island, right?
"I get angry when you mention this, my cousin's expedition team has two dead, and it is hard to write a report, but it is suspected that there is no evidence, it is fake news. Not to mention winning the award, I was also scolded. ”
"This shouldn't be, there are so many fake news on the Internet, and I haven't seen anything like your cousin. ”
"I don't blame her boss, my cousin did write something very strange, she said that they had been on the island for two days, but when their boss checked the records and time, they had not even been on the island for ten minutes when they had been on the boat. If you take the calculation error into account. They never went to the island at all.
In addition, all their equipment is broken, and the veracity of what they say is questioned without evidence. What's even more excessive, they actually suspected that they had a conflict and killed two other people, and then absconded back. How could my cousin kill someone, you say it's not angry. ”
"Yes, this kind of boss is really annoying, can't it be a shipwreck at sea and then missing?"
"What do you mean? You doubt what my sister said?"
"No, that's not what I meant. ”
Is the island the same geographical magazine? Has it already returned? Xu Wu's heart suddenly became puzzled, what was going on with that island.
