What about people, it's really weird. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 When the info is surrounded by lightning, it starts out as a soul-like panic, and then turns into a deep despair. You can't escape, you can't hide, your fate is completely up to you, you can only believe in the will of God. And thinking of this, my heart became calm, since I can't control my fate, what's the point of thinking too much, it only adds to my troubles. The heart is relaxed, and it is more of an admiration for the wonders of this world and a reverence for nature.

But obviously my idea is not universal. Xiao Li was next to me, silent. I turned my head to look at him, and he was staring straight ahead, hunched over, not daring to lean back in his chair, his hands shaking a little as he held the steering wheel. I patted him on the shoulder and whispered to him, "Xiao Li, put out the fire first, it's safer." ”

I turned around, Zeng Yan still buried his head in his arms, silent, and Lao Qin leaned on the back seat, his eyes closed, and his hands on the doorknob. I smiled and said to Zeng Yan: "Xiao Zeng, God doesn't split people casually, everyone has to line up in order, like you, who doesn't even have a boyfriend, will definitely be at the back." ”

Xiao Zeng raised his head, glanced at me, blushed a little, and buried it again. But he muttered, "But mine shouldn't be a boyfriend." ”

I was about to laugh, but then I noticed that the rain outside seemed to have stopped, but the only thing that did not rain was a circle with a diameter of about 100 meters centered on our two cars. And beyond the circle is a huge and spectacular rain curtain. It was as if our car was in a deep well, so small and delicate, that the only thing to be thankful for was that the thunder no longer struck into this rainless circle.

A loud voice from Team Cao came from the car next to him: "Everyone think about whether they have done anything hurtful to the heavens and reason, get off the station and go to the station if you have done it, don't affect the other people on the bus." Team Cao said righteously, and then there was silence in the car, and it seemed that everyone was in a memory. I laughed out loud, pulled the car door, and got out of the car with everyone's stunned expressions.

Team Cao glanced at me and said in a deep voice: "Lao Chang, you can realize the seriousness of the problem, it's good, but it's a pity that it's too late, it's hopeless, stand on the side and line up, you are the first in line." ”

"Lao Cao, before splitting, it depends on whether you can give a cigarette for the sake of many years of revolutionary friendship. I leaned over to his car with the same serious face.

At this moment, the people in the car burst into laughter, as if the lightning and thunder overhead were no longer there. Team Cao got out of the car, took out a cigarette and a lighter, and handed it to me. Zeng Yan also jumped out of the car, looked at the huge rain curtain around her, was stunned, and asked me in amazement: "It's so magnificent, it's so beautiful, why doesn't it rain when Uncle Chang is the only one in our circle?"

"Well, I guess it's because Captain Cao's yang energy is too strong, right? You can see that his hair is standing on end, and the clouds above his head are washed away. I replied with a smile and a cigarette.

Team Cao glared at me fiercely, and then changed his smile and said to Zeng Yan: "Xiao Zeng, the formation of this circle should be a natural phenomenon, maybe there is a whirlwind above our heads." ”

Zeng Yan giggled, walked to the edge of the rain curtain, and looked curiously with his hands behind his back. I put my hand to my mouth and whispered to Team Cao: "Team Cao, this natural phenomenon is called Cloud Eye in our jargon, also known as Hidden Rain Cave, but when it usually appears, it means that there will be natural disasters nearby, or very evil things will appear. Everyone needs to be careful. ”

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the dark clouds rolled overhead, and the lightning and thunder gradually faded away, but the sun had just appeared, but it was already slanting to the west, and it was about to sink to the horizon. Unable to get to the mine as planned today, we had to find a gentle slope to stop, set up camp, endure the night, and leave tomorrow morning. Teacher Qin and two policemen volunteered to go hunting nearby to see what game they could catch and improve their food for the evening. The Cao team took two other criminal policemen to collect some firewood and grass for lighting bonfires at night.

Together with Zeng Yan, I picked up some stones and built a fire pit on the gentle slope.

While building the fire pond, I chatted with Zeng Yan about this case of beast cannibalism. When it comes to the case, Zeng Yan seems to have changed a person, and her bright eyes are less agile and more profound. She pulled out a brown paper bag from her backpack, which contained the materials she had compiled related to the case.

Zeng Yan is very rigorous and meticulous in her profession, she told me that judging from the photos and the investigation transcripts provided by the Cao team, the man-eating beast should be a wolf, but what puzzled her was that on the one hand, it seemed that it was only a wolf that killed people, and it was the entire wolf pack that ate people, and there was a problem here.

Every wolf pack has a wolf, and the head wolf is the commander of the wolf pack. At the same time, they are the first to enjoy their prey, but they rarely participate in the hunt, and the hunt is done by the wolves. But Zeng Yan had never heard of the situation of being hunted by a wolf and a pack of wolves sharing the food, which was why she wanted to come to Inner Mongolia to see it on the spot.

On the other hand, judging from the blood stains on the photo, the white circle with rice was drawn after the wolves had eaten their prey, so who drew the white circle, and what is the meaning?

The last thing Zeng Li wanted to figure out was why the wolves attacked people. Wolves fear people far more than humans do wolves. Unless there is a great shortage of food, wolves do not take the initiative to attack people, so what is the real cause of the bloodshed in Ula Ranch? Is it really because of hunger? If hunger is the main cause, then there is a serious problem in the ecological chain of this pasture, because wolves are the animals at the top of the food chain of the grassland.

After listening to Zeng Yan's analysis, I couldn't help but be a little impressed by her, so I said my thoughts. In my opinion, those white circles are the crux of the whole case. According to the introduction of the Cao team, the white circle is surrounded by rice, which is not a wolf circle used by the folk to prevent wolves, but a kind of superordinate ritual handed down from ancient times. Among some ethnic minorities in Northeast China, there is also a primitive religion, the Sect. In the cult, praying for the soul of the deceased to ascend to heaven is a circle of rice. Obviously, it wasn't left behind by the wolves, it could have been done by local herders.

But the problem is, if the herders find out that the wolves are attacking the miners, why don't they help or call the police, but go to the dead to overtake them, which is not reasonable?

While we were talking, the three of them came back, everyone put the firewood and grass into the improvised fire pit, and raised the bonfire, at this time, the sun had completely disappeared, leaving only a golden bright edge in the sky, and the stars seemed to suddenly jump out of the dark background, gathering more and more. There are many more stars on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia than you can see in the city. It looks a bit dazzling.

Team Cao boiled water to boil the noodles while continuing our conversation and talked. Cao went to Gansu for a year in '82, when wolves were also infested in the Gobi Desert in northern Gansu. But except for the occasional stealing of a few sheep from the herdsmen, they were relatively peaceful, but later, that year there was a drought, and many wild animals such as yellow sheep and rabbits died, and the wolves ran out of food, so they began to attack the herdsmen's sheepfold.

In order to prevent wolves, many herders build sheepfolds three or four meters high. But Team Cao has seen it with his own eyes, and the wolves are stacked on top of each other, like human ladders, sending the wolves up the wall. The wolves at the head of the wall hung their tails again, and let the wolves behind bite their tails and hang them one by one. When you are full, and then you do the same and get out of the sheepfold, in short, the wolf is very hungry, and will be much more cunning and vicious. But the locals fought the wolves to the death, and there was no case of wolves attacking herders.

"And then, were the wolves killed by the herdsmen?" Listening to Team Cao's description, I interjected.

"No, then the wolves ran away and ran farther and farther north. "Team Cao seems to have good craftsmanship, a bag of noodles, a few canned food, and an attractive aroma wafting from the marching lunch box.

Zeng Yan also nodded, but the expression of serious concentration before was gone, just stared at Team Cao's lunch box, and said, "The wolf has a strong sense of territory, a medium wolf pack needs about a hundred square kilometers of territory, and when the wolf pack is forced to move away, it means that it has to enter the territory of another wolf pack. And this place can't accommodate so many wolves, so only the victorious wolf king can stay. Most wolves that lose their territory will starve to death in the winter. Wolves don't migrate much, that's why. Team Cao, what do you put in your noodles? Why is it so fragrant?"

"Hehe, this is our Cao family's unique secret recipe, I don't teach ordinary people, if Xiao Zeng wants to learn, I can teach you tomorrow. Team Cao laughed.

As he was talking, Lao Qin returned with two policemen, but he was only carrying a rabbit. Seeing us, Lao Qin spread his hands and said: "This season was originally a yellow sheep, a hare, and a roe deer fatten, I thought I could have a good time, and after going around dozens of kilometers, I hit a rabbit, but, Team Cao, the real person doesn't show up, your noodles are fragrant enough." ”

After eating the noodles of the Cao team and Lao Qin's roast rabbit meat, I lit a cigarette with satisfaction and began to boil water to make tea.

On the other side, Lao Qin took a few criminal policemen and began to set up tents, chatting about the interesting stories that Lao Qin encountered when rescuing wild animals across the country, and bursts of laughter came from time to time.

At this time, the moon slowly rose from the horizon, and the vague scenery of the grassland was coated with a faint milky white, and the light mist seemed to grow out of the ground, but it only rose to a foot high, and flowed slowly.

A few wolf howls were faintly heard in the distance, and then a few more from the other direction, echoing each other and spreading farther and farther. Zeng Yan listened quietly, and seemed to say to herself, "A big group of wolves, there are probably hundreds." But the howl of the wolf in the night does not frighten people, but is like a magnificent symphony of nature, mysterious and melodious, and people are willing to be in it. Unfortunately, this night was quiet and peaceful, the only time I was in Inner Mongolia.
