Chapter 14: Talon in the Air
Ye Zhenzhen listened nervously and asked, "What about after that? You brought the sodium block back to grandpa's house, didn't you want to follow the method in the book, do you want to do an experiment and observe the phenomenon?"
"It was originally going to be like this, but there was a little accident in the middle. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Nan Zhiqiao sighed and continued, " After returning to my grandfather's house, I went back to the hut where I usually do experiments, found a basin and an alcohol lamp, the volume of the sodium block I cut out was a little too large, after putting it on the water, the sodium block floated on the water, and the reaction generated hydrogen, the place where the sodium came into contact with the water kept hissing, the sodium block melted into a spherical shape and floated on the water surface, because the alcohol lamp had been lit before, the hydrogen was produced too much and too fast, and it exploded at once, and the small-scale explosion caused the explosion of the gas pipeline next door, and the result was ......"
"What is the result?" asked Vera nervously.
"The result...... Half of the Nan family's old mansion was blown up by me. ”
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for two seconds, then took Nan Zhiqiao's hand beside her, and asked worriedly, "Are you injured?"
Facing Ye Zhenzhen's nervous and worried expression, Nan Zhiqiao shook his head with a smile, "I was killed, but I was stunned by the shock wave of the explosion, and my arm was slightly injured, and I was hospitalized for three days before going home." ”
Ye Zhenzhen felt unbelievable, such a big explosion, only suffering this slight injury, it was indeed a miracle.
Zhen Zhen grabbed Nan Zhiqiao's arm, looked at it, and asked, "Which arm did you hurt?" ”
Nan Zhiqiao stretched out his right arm very cooperatively and rolled up his sleeve, leaving a crescent-shaped scar on his forearm near his wrist.
"Does it still hurt?" Ye Zhenzhen reached out and touched the crescent-shaped scar.
"Old scars, no pain. ”
Ye Zhenzhen stared at the crescent-shaped scar, and there was a familiar feeling.
Nan Zhiqiao frowned slightly when he saw Zhen Zhen on the other side, looking thoughtful, thinking that Zhen Zhen didn't believe it, he pressed the crescent-shaped scar with his left hand again, and said with a smile: "It really doesn't hurt, this scar is almost twenty years old, and if you don't look carefully, it's not obvious." ”
Zhen Zhen was about to say that this scar seemed to have been seen before, when suddenly, something flew by in her ears, and the sound of wings flapping against the air was terrifying in her ears.
Zhen Zhen was shocked, forgot what she wanted to say, and at the same time there was a force on her arm, pulling herself forward, the force was very great, it was Nan Zhiqiao's right hand that pulled Zhen Zhen into his arms.
"Be careful!"
only heard Nan Zhiqiao's "be careful", pulling Ye Zhenzhen with one hand and protecting Zhenzhen's head with the other.
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for a long time, and after relieving herself, she asked in surprise: "What was it just now?"
Nan no Qiao let go of his hand and turned his head to look at the lake, "A flying animal that haunts at night. ”
Zhen Zhen sat up straight again, following Nan Zhiqiao's gaze and looking at the lake.
Under the hazy moonlight, several small black shadows hovering on the surface of the lake, and Zhen Zhen, with her childhood experience, blurted out, "It turned out to be a bat." ”
There were more than a dozen bats hovering over the lake, and one of them was the one that flew past Zhen Zhen's ears just now.
Zhen Zhen touched her ears, "It's good that I wasn't touched just now, thinking of the bat corpse I saw in the snack street, I feel horrible and disgusting, if I am hit by a bat, I don't know what virus I will be infected with." ”
Nan Zhiqiao stared at the bats on the lake, shone a flashlight, and wondered, "How can there be so many bats gathered on the lake?"
"Doesn't bat usually eat insects, maybe there are mosquitoes and other flying insects on the surface of the lake......
Before Zhen Zhen's words fell, she heard a "plop" on the lake, a small fish jumped out of the lake, a bat swooped down, the small fish was caught by the bat into the air, and the bat that caught the fish quickly flew away from the lake, and did not know where to run to eat the fish.
"Wouldn't it be, and bats that eat fish?" said Vera staring in surprise in the direction in which the bats flew away.
"There are fish-eating bats in the world, and the big-footed mouse-eared bat is one of them, and they have claws as sharp as a fishhook. ”
Nan Zhiqiao took a flashlight and shone it above the lake, but the bat did not react to the light, still hovering over the lake, looking for small fish that jumped out of the lake.
Ye Zhenzhen counted on her mouth, "The big-footed rat-eared bats that eat fish were found in Chaoxia Peak, the big fruit bats found in the snack street, and the common insects-eating bats when I was a child, and there are really many types of bats near L City." ”
"Yes, there are no reports of big-footed rat-eared bats and fruit bats near L City, there may be a large bat cave nearby, but no one has found it, and no scholars have come to study it, and there may be many undiscovered bat species hidden in the primeval forest near this forest park. ”
Remembering the forest savages that my uncle said before, as well as the bats that spread rabies, Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously touched her neck and asked vigilantly: "Senior Nan, you said, there won't be vampire bats here, right?"
Nan Zhiqiao put away the flashlight and took Ye Zhenzhen's hand off her neck at the same time, "Vampire bats only exist in the Americas, and they have not been found in China yet. ”
Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”
Seeing that Zhen Zhen's expression was relaxed, Nan Zhiqiao deliberately added, "In addition to vampire bats, ordinary bats can also bite, but they don't suck blood." ”
"Huh?" Ye Zhenzhen put her hand back on her neck again, Nan Zhiqiao is deliberately scary, right?
Nan Zhiqiao jumped off the big rock by the lake and stood firmly, under the moonlight, with a triumphant smile on his face, "Don't worry, as long as you don't provoke bats, they won't take the initiative to attack humans." ”
Ye Zhenzhen also jumped off the big rock, put away the moisture-proof mat on the rock, handed it to Nan Zhiqiao, and said: "Senior Nan, I am very honest and never take the initiative to provoke these wild animals, but, for the sake of safety, let's set off quickly, when we reach the top of Chaoxia Peak, the tent will be fine." ”
"Looks like I'm still scared. ”
"I wasn't afraid. ”
"Well, you're not afraid. ”
"I'm really not afraid. ”
"Well, got it, maybe it's my reason. ”
“……”
The two of you said a word, rearranged the backpack, and set off towards the peak of Chaoxia Peak.
Late at night in the mountains, the moon is clear, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and the path in the forest is hidden in the moonlight.
Due to a break in the middle, the rest of the mountain road climbed fairly easily, and it was already one o'clock in the morning when the two reached the summit of Chaoxia Peak.
The summit of Chaoxia Peak is an open flat land, there is a section of natural raised big rock in the middle, the summit of Chaoxia is divided into two, the south side of the rock is flat, there are already more than ten tents that have been set up, all of them have climbed to the top before dark, people who are ready to watch the sunrise, the south side seems to be a little crowded, the terrain on the north side of the rock is a little uneven, it is not suitable for setting up a larger area of tents, so there are few people in the north.
Nan Zhiqiao observed the terrain and pointed to the north side of the rock, "Set up the tent on the north side, sit west and face east, just enough to watch the sunrise." ”
