Chapter 112: Vigil
The temperature at night in this mountain is low, but fortunately, Xu Fan was prepared, and took out a coat directly from the space and put it outside, and suddenly the chill was gone.
got out of the tent, said hello to Uncle Liu and the other two, and then chatted softly with his classmates, and sat by the fire to watch the night.
Although the three of them kept vigil, it was already early in the morning, and it was not good to talk loudly or anything, after all, it was the dead of night, and a little louder could wake up the people in the tent.
It's also boring to sit like this, Xu Fan originally wanted to take out his mobile phone to play a few games, who wants to take out his mobile phone to take a look, well, there is no signal at all, and it is directly displayed that it is not in the service area.
If you can't play games, you can only sit down, and if you don't sit for a long time, you will be sleepy, Xu Fan hurriedly shook his head, stood up, and planned to walk around to keep himself awake.
"Brother Fan, what's wrong?" The other two students who were keeping vigil saw Xu Fan suddenly stand up, and thought that something was wrong, so they immediately stood up nervously and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just sitting a little sleepy, standing up and walking, and being more energetic," Xu Fan hurriedly waved his hand and explained.
"Oh, that's what it does," one of them said with a relieved smile.
"Hehe, I'll just walk around the neighborhood, you take care of yourself," Xu Fan said with a smile, and then walked around the camp with the sunspot.
"Then be careful, there's movement calling us," the student said.
"Hmm!" Xu Fan nodded in response.
This camp is not big, there are only a dozen tents, one next to the other, it doesn't take up much space, Xu Fan easily turned around, and basically didn't find anything.
Of course, this black light is blinding, and Xu Fan's eyes can't see even if there is a little thing, but he is followed by the sunspot, and the sunspot has a natural reaction to things in the mountains and forests, which will just follow him quietly, which can show that there is no danger nearby.
This turned around, not to mention, Xu Fan was a lot more energetic, and he was not sleepy at all compared to before, turned back, said hello to the other two, and sat back by the fire.
Xu Fan sat by the fire, and Heizi crawled on his legs, arching his legs from time to time, or licking his instep, as for the other three hunting dogs, they would all crawl in front of the tent of the father and son surnamed Liu to rest.
These three hounds seemed to be a little afraid of sunspots, and they didn't dare to hang in front of sunspots from the beginning, and always kept some distance, which Uncle Liu was surprised by.
His three hounds had fought a lot, but this was the first time they had shown fear before they had even moved.
Regarding this, Xu Fan just smiled and didn't explain much.
After sitting like this, the time slowly passed, and soon it was about two o'clock in the morning, and Xu Fan only needed to sit for about an hour before he could go back to the tent to rest.
However, after sitting down for two hours in a row, this sleepiness came unconsciously, and Xu Fan was fortunate that after waking up and sleeping at first, this would only yawn from time to time.
The other two students were a little unbearable, sitting there with their heads down a little from time to time, and then hurriedly raised again, a pair of eyelids had already been non-stop, and their eyes were narrowed into a slit, and it was estimated that there was a pillow designated to be able to fall asleep immediately.
Seeing the situation of the two of them, Xu Fan just smiled and didn't go over to keep them awake, but straightened up and looked around with wide eyes.
"Woo woo woo ......" didn't take much effort before Kuroko, who was crawling on the ground, suddenly stood up and made a low voice in the direction of the forest.
Heizi suddenly had this reaction, Xu Fan immediately put his mind over there, and looked at it with wide eyes, there were two pairs of shining eyes, in that dark woods.
There was a situation here, Xu Fan immediately walked to wake up the two people who were about to fall asleep: "Be refreshed, there is a situation over there," and at the same time carried the woodcutter placed by the fire in his hand.
"What's the matter," the two men were a little confused at first, but they still stood up, and when they saw the two pairs of shining eyes emerging from the woods over there, a spirit suddenly came to his senses, and he was about to run towards the tent.
"Why are you going, what's the hurry, wait for there to be a move over there, and then it's too late to notify everyone," Xu Fan saw these two guys running to the tent so recklessly, and hurriedly dragged them back one by one.
"Brother Fan, do you know what those two are?" One of them blushed a little embarrassed, but no one could see it in the dark night, and he disguised himself by questioning.
"I don't know, it's not tigers and leopards anyway, their eyes are not like this at night," Xu Fan shook his head and said.
"Oh, as long as it's not a tiger and a leopard, then there's no problem," the two of them immediately relaxed when they heard that they weren't the most ferocious killers in the deep forest.
"......" Xu Fan was directly speechless, shook his head and was not ready to say anything, obviously these people have rich experience in the wild, but they definitely have no experience in the deep mountains and old forests, they only know some large beasts, and they don't know that there are some medium-sized beasts, and their lethality is not bad at all.
However, at this time, the three hunting dogs brought by Uncle Liu also discovered the danger here, ran over, and whined warning at the side from a little distance from the sunspot.
The two things in the forest over there knew their whereabouts and were discovered, but they refused to leave immediately, so the two sides held each other for half an hour in the dark night.
The two things over there finally gave up their plans to invade, turned around and disappeared into the night, and as soon as the two guys left, the three hounds turned around and ran directly to the tent to rest.
Xu Fan and the other two went back to sit in front of the fire, and it didn't take long to change shifts to rest, and after lying down, Xu Fan fell asleep directly, and slept until dawn.
In the morning, the humidity in the mountains and forests was very heavy, and it didn't take much effort to get out of the tent, and there was a layer of water mist hanging on the coat.
After eating breakfast and packing up the things, everyone continued to move forward, Professor Li walked side by side with Xu Fan as before, and asked with a smile: "Last night, when the three of you were on shift, was there a situation?" ”
"Well, I don't know what it is, squat in the woods," Xu Fan nodded and said.
"Listening to Xiaohai and the two of them, are you sure those two are not leopards or tigers, can you roughly guess them?" Professor Li smiled and continued to ask.
"No, Professor Li, you should know that in the past few years in this area, I don't know how many animals have been put in this area, and there are all kinds of things, I really can't guess," Xu Fan rubbed his temples and said.
"What Xu Fan saw last night, it is estimated that it is a bobcat or something, now this deep mountain is not like before, I encountered a big grizzly bear some time ago, this thing should not exist here at all, and now it actually has it," Uncle Liu, who was walking in front, turned his head and said.
"Hey! This matter, how to say, it used to be over-exploited, and now I want to restore the ecology of the deep forest as much as possible, and the state has invested a lot of money, but it has changed its flavor below, and some people are fooling, otherwise there will be no such problem," Professor Li sighed and said.
Xu Fan and Uncle Liu didn't know how to answer this, one hurried forward with a dull head, and the other laughed silently.
Then we talked casually, and rushed all the way, and when it was almost noon, I stopped in a slightly flat place to rest, filled my stomach, and moved on.
After walking for about an hour, they came to a very high and wide mountain, which was like a boulder blocking the way of the people.
Uncle Liu, who took the lead, stopped, turned around and said to the person behind him very seriously: "Everyone, listen, after we enter from this path, everyone must remember not to fall behind, not to leave our team ten meters away, and to fasten the buttons of your clothes, otherwise I can't do anything if something happens inside." ”
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong, it's suddenly getting serious, isn't it good to go all the way?" One of the students was the first to ask the doubts in his heart.
The rest of the people also looked at Uncle Liu curiously, they all had the same idea in their hearts, isn't it just a mountain that looks very high, and after passing through, it can become another world.
In this team, there are two people who know something about this place, one is Uncle Liu's son, he saw this student asking, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's different, this mountain is in the past, and the things inside are compared with the outside, one in the sky and one in the ground." ”
Xu Fan has never been inside, but he has read and seen since he was a child, and he has heard from the people in the village that this very tall mountain is named Broken Mountain by the people in the village, which means that it is like a knife to cut the inside and outside into two worlds.
When he was in his father's generation, if he wanted to hunt something in the mountains, he basically had to cross the mountain to get a harvest, and he basically returned empty-handed outside.
Now that hunting has been banned for many years, and the state has released a lot of large beasts into this area, there may be some kind of danger inside.
"Liu Shi is right, after passing this mountain, the world inside can be said to be comparable to the depths of the Amazon jungle," Xu Fan nodded and said.
"No, Brother Fan, this is just a mountain, is there such a big difference?" Another student said disapprehantly.
"If you don't believe it, it doesn't matter, anyway, I should confess, if there is any accident at that time, don't expect me to save you," Uncle Liu said with a dark face.
"Okay, everyone listens to Master Liu, he is an old hunter, he must have more experience than us in this area, everyone checks and checks the clothes on their bodies, button up the places that should be fastened, don't fall behind at will after entering, ask Master Liu for advice in advance," Professor Li frowned.
He heard Xu Fan and the Liu family's father and son say this, and knew that the world inside was definitely not so simple, at least it was more complicated than what they had encountered before.
