Chapter 39: Entering the Mountains at Night to Find People
Li Mu sent away his mother, who was still a little entangled, and turned his head to continue to look at the animal world. Teacher Zhao's deep voice: Spring is blooming, everything is recovering, and it's time for mating again......
"Amu, Amu!" Before Mr. Zhao's classic lines were finished, Dad's anxious voice sounded at the gate. Li Mu hurriedly got up and ran out, and saw his father rushing into the door panting.
"Quick, bring a flashlight and go to your aunt!" Li Mingyao entered the door and saw Li Mu standing at the door of the hall, and he rushed to the room without saying a word.
"Sister-in-law ran away from home again?" Before Li Mu could speak, his mother who rushed out of the kitchen asked in surprise.
But why use one?
And what is the situation of people who are almost 60 years old and running away from home? Could it be that Brother Geng can still abuse the elderly?
Li Mu looked at the second elder a little confused, and didn't understand what they were talking about! Li Mingyao glared at his daughter-in-law dissatisfied, and then saw Li Mu still standing stupidly and said a little unpleasantly: "What are you running away from home, last time I was going to visit relatives! Your aunt went to herd sheep this morning and now she hasn't come back, and I heard other sheep herders say that it seems that two sheep have been lost and they have gone to find them!"
What?
Li Mu was also dumbfounded, it was dark and it was more than eight o'clock, and he hadn't come back yet?
But thinking of the kind of uncle who can't wait to break a penny, it's really possible not to give up looking for two sheep. But how can I find it when it's dark, and now that the forest is bigger, a lot of wild things have returned!
Think about the wild boar you hunted the other day, if there is a wolf or a leopard or something, it will be a big problem. So Li Mu didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and went into the hall, grabbed the flashlight and mobile phone on the sofa, turned around and ran.
"Hey, you kid wait for me!" Li Mingyao just came out of the room to change his shoes when he saw Li Mu's back and couldn't help shouting loudly, you can't go into the mountain with slippers when you go out just now.
"Dad, just stay at home!" Li Mu's voice came from afar, and Li Mingyao naturally couldn't listen to it and ran out, and soon his mother also changed her shoes and clothes and followed behind.
Li Mu was very fast, and it was only a matter of a few minutes to get to the village. At this time, the village was already frying, and many men from other families gathered at the entrance of the village with guys and flashlights, and the second uncle and Brother Geng with tears on his face stood in front of people.
"Brother, what's the situation?" Li Mu squeezed over to look at Li Geng, who was wiping tears from time to time, and asked, and several women on the side were comforting their sister-in-law. The two children of Brother Geng's family were also crying and calling for their grandmother, and it was obvious that the family was frightened.
"No, I came back from your house and met Uncle Lai Zi who came back from the mountains, and my sheep also drove back, but my mother was gone, and I asked to know that the sheep were lost today, my mother and Uncle Yuchao, she was looking for them, and said that they would come back soon. However, I waited until eight o'clock under the mountain god tree and did not see a shadow, so I didn't come back to beckon everyone to help find it. ”
Li Geng gave a general introduction to the matter with a sad face, and the second uncle and the father who came later began to organize the grouping of people and the division of the search area, because it was a total of five groups at night, and each group had eleven or twelve guys, and the women and children were waiting.
"Okay, it's not early, everyone is ready, the mountain is not very peaceful recently, Amu killed a wild boar a few days ago, everyone be careful. If there is anything, shout hello, and the others will support quickly!" After the second uncle explained, he waved his hand and was about to take people away, but he was stopped by Li Qiang, who rushed over.
Joking about the people in their fifties, what are you tossing around blindly in the mountains at night, although the second uncle is very anxious, but he can't twist the three brothers Li Qiang, and finally Li Mingyao led the team to set off.
"The third brother must be careful, the big guy goes into the mountain to pay attention to Mars, and the smokers go into the mountain one by one to destroy Lao Tzu!"
The five groups soon arrived at the foot of the mountain god tree, and everyone once again determined their respective positions and entered the mountain forest under the leadership of the leader. Li Mu was responsible for leading the team to take a small road, and the avenue taken by the sheep herders was naturally for Li Mingyao and their group.
At night, the forest was a little frighteningly quiet, and from time to time a mouse or something flashed in the black hole bushes, bringing a burst of leaves, and a beam of flashlight lit up the forest, but nothing was found.
"Amu, I don't think they will take the path at such a late hour, right?" A young man in the team took a picture of the surroundings and asked suspiciously, at this time the moon had not yet come out, and it was dark and there was no flashlight, and it was simply difficult to move an inch.
"Well, the odds are very small. But you still can't be careless.,In addition, pay attention to the safety of the night and save a little bit of the flashlight.,It's better for the two of you.,In case there's no moon when you go back, it's going to be troublesome.。 In addition, pay attention to safety, especially don't fall under your feet. Li Mu felt that it was unlikely, but it was naturally difficult for his father to refute him.
The trail is rough and there are many potholes, and if you accidentally fall uphill, you may roll to the bottom of the mountain. It was very dangerous, not to mention the branches in the mountains and forests, not to mention the raised stones, which were enough to kill people.
Li Mu explained all the way, although many people are older than him, but as a team leader, he naturally needs to remind everyone at all times. A group of people walked and stopped, and from time to time they called twice, startling a flock of birds to echo in the mountains and forests.
The higher you go to the top of the mountain, the narrower the road becomes, and only one person can pass through the road that could have been done in tandem. There are more and more rocks under your feet, and you need to pay attention to the branches sticking out of the forest on both sides when you walk, which is very slow.
Seeing that the time was getting later and later, Li Mu felt anxious for a while, looking at the dark forest around him, and he didn't know when he would find someone. His voice was a little hoarse, and the substitution began to shout, but there was no response.
"Amu, why don't we go to the Broken Water Cliff first!" After more than an hour, when they arrived at the top of the mountain, they could not see a beam of light flashing in the surrounding mountains and forests, and they were quickly submerged by the dense forest.
The Broken Water Cliff is a place where sheep herders often go back, there is a small river there, and the Broken Water Cliff is a small waterfall. The branches on both sides of the creek have many buds, and the sheep especially like them.
"Cheng, but you have to be more careful over there!" The Broken Water Cliff is not far from the place where Li Mu hunted wild boars, separated by a small hill, but the mountain is relatively steep, so you need to pay attention to it, seeing that no one has an opinion, a group of people are on the road again.
After a night of walking and stopping, it took more than an hour to reach the cliff, and the sound of rushing water could be heard from afar. Xiaohe was also grayish and white at night without moonlight, and there was no fire and human voices around, and everyone looked at Li Mu in disappointment for a while, not knowing what to do next.
"Let's rest for a few minutes, I don't know where they came to find the sheep. Li Mu looked around and sighed helplessly, his heart became more and more irritable, and he didn't know why he always had a bad feeling.
"If I knew I should bring a dog, maybe it would have helped. ”
"Don't be funny, what kind of egg is your dog, and there is no electricity in your heart?"
"That's it, it's not an old mountain dog, these local dogs are too lazy to die now, not to mention finding someone, I estimate it's difficult to enter the mountain at night!"
......
A group of people sat on the ground and looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, wanting to smoke, but when they thought of the explanation of the village party secretary, they could only take it in their mouths. As for his opinion of the earth dog, Li Mu didn't know what to say, the tiger tooth in his family was black-backed, although it was not pure-blooded, but it was also a wolf dog, so naturally he didn't know what they were talking about.
