Chapter 10: The Fence on the Mountaintop

On this day, he had a big phone call with Baoyue, but Dekang never mentioned how to deal with wolves and jackals. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

In fact, a wolf cub of Baoyue's size has only a dead end when it encounters hostile wolves and jackals, and there is no possibility of survival, even if she is by her side, she can't change the tragic ending.

The doubts encountered there at the fork in the road have always been a shadow sinking in Dekang's heart, and he doesn't want Baoyue to face the heaviness she can't carry too soon.

If there is no solution, why bother?

Ignoring the second brother's chatter tongue and stiff lips, Baoyue played a scoundrel to Dekang, constantly jumping up and down around him, muttering non-stop.

"Okay... The second brother still can't promise it! Dekang's head was about to catch up with the size of Lake Belik, and he frowned and reluctantly agreed to Baoyue.

The jubilant Baoyue threw herself into Dekang's arms again, and when she calmed down, the unlucky guy was smeared with saliva again.

At this time, Baoyue's face exuded a kind of glory, every hair on her little face was smiling, and her eyes flashed, as if as long as they climbed the foot of the mountain, the food of the flying eagle would automatically appear in front of her, and the second brother would be by her side all the time.

Dekang couldn't bear to shatter her beautiful hopes, so he just explained euphemistically: "Baoyue." If you stay at the foot of the mountain all day and night, you will probably be frozen, otherwise, wait until the sun comes out during the day to get a little warmer, the second brother will carry you up the mountain, and when it is almost dark, we will go back to the cave. ”

Baoyue smiled and nodded, and readily agreed.

Dekang scratched his scalp and glanced at Baoyue a few times, he had never seen Baoyue who was so refreshing.

For the sake of safety, Dekang went to take a piece of rock mutton back to the cave to thaw, and prepared to give Baoyue a full meal before leaving. And I am in the stage of rapid physical growth of more and better.

After the excitement, Baoyue fell asleep not long after lying in Dekang's arms, Dekang carried her to the sheepskin and lay on her side, lowered his head and kissed her, and crawled out of the cave to stretch his muscles.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Dekang thought to himself: "After nearly a day of madness, Baoyue must have to sleep for a long time before waking up, so why don't you take this opportunity to go around the neighborhood and see if there is a chance to catch some food." ’

Dekang had run on the east and west sides of the foot of the Arka, and this time he was going to cross the Hasha River and turn around and run east, to check the terrain and try his luck by the way.

Pulling some snow at the entrance of the cave to camouflage, and then sweeping away the footprints around his tail, Dekang ran towards the river beach like a smoke.

The ice of the Haxia River had been completely frozen hard, and the footpads and claws could feel the hardness similar to stepping on the rock surface, and Dekang couldn't help but shrink his claws, slow down his pace, and walk across the ice step by step.

As the night deepened, the bitter cold wind blew more and more violently across the snowfield, looking back at the empty river, Dekang shook his head and continued to go straight, running towards the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

A short distance beyond the river beach is a complex hill-like small mountainous terrain, and along the way you will encounter abrupt boulders and steep valleys, and the aquatic plants here are far less abundant than those at the foot of the Altyn Mountains.

After running cautiously for a while, finding a leeward crevice to catch his breath, Dekang began to mutter: 'This hellish place is probably the most barren in the whole Altyn Basin, and usually the little sheep and sandgrouse are not likely to come here to feed, let alone such weather; Besides, there are ravines everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will break your legs. Brother ran here to hunt for food。。。。。。 ’

Thinking of this, Dekang had no interest in hunting at all, gnawed two mouthfuls of snow, shrunk his neck and walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the cold wind poured into his nose, the cold air rushed to his head, he shivered coldly, looked up at the desolate valley covered by snow, gritted his teeth and rushed back.

'Grandma is a bear, why didn't you feel so harsh when you came. ’

The camouflage at the entrance of the cave was the same as before departure, and Dekang was relieved and climbed into the cave.

Baoyue was sleeping sweetly on the sheepskin cushion, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her snoring sounded rhythmically with the rise and fall of her abdomen.

The warmth of the cave made Dekang more and more tired, his eyelids were almost unable to rise, and he lay down against Baoyue, and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long I slept, I felt that my nostrils were itchy, Dekang scratched a few times in a daze and turned over and continued to sleep, but before I could sleep well, the itching of my nostrils began again, and I felt that something seemed to be pressing on my face.

It turned out that Baoyue was making trouble.

"Treasure ... Month... The second brother will sleep again. Dekang said a little confused.

A loud voice exploded in his ears: "Second brother, it's dawn." Hurry up, big lazy bug. After saying that, his whole body pressed up and began to shake Dekang's head non-stop.

The old man reluctantly got up and leaned against the cave wall: "Second brother is sleepy." When you sleep enough, you will have the spirit to take you to hunt. ”

Baoyue snorted: "Baoyue has woken up, why are you still asleep." Did you take advantage of Baoyue to fall asleep and go out for a big play. ”

Dekang pretended to yawn: "No... No. Just go around the hole. ”

"I don't believe it." After speaking, he jumped into Dekang's arms and arched wildly: "Second brother." Take Baoyue to the mountain, you promised. ”

Dekang stood up and stretched: "Okay... However, the wind at the foot of the mountain is stronger than here, so eat rock mutton first, and then you are not afraid of the cold wind when you have a full stomach. ”

Baoyue nodded obediently and ran to the entrance of the cave to eat.

Dekang crawled out of the cave and looked at the weather: 'Hmm. Not bad. Take her to take a break before the blizzard comes again, and then you have to stay in the cave until you return from hunting again, and the climate at that time can't take Baoyue out to play. ’

Baoyue ate until her little belly was swollen, then she dropped the rock mutton and ran to Dekang, patting her little belly: "Second brother, look, Baoyue is full." ”

Dekang pinched her little face: "Go and take out the rock sheepskin, and when the second brother finishes eating, we will go to Langshan." ”

Baoyue turned around and ran towards the bottom of the cave, and in the blink of an eye, she dragged the rock sheepskin out and kept dangling in front of Dekang's eyes. Dekang didn't bother to talk to her, and bit and swallowed the fatty rock mutton.

Before the last bite of meat was swallowed, Baoyue couldn't wait to jump on Dekang's back, grab his ear and say, "Second brother." Let's go. ”

Dekang smiled bitterly: "Little cub, are you as anxious as a monkey?" I have to wait for the second brother to clean up the hole and disguise it before setting off. ”

After hastily pulling at the entrance of the cave, holding a rock sheepskin and carrying Baoyue on his back for a while, he ran to the bottom of the mountain, and Dekang stopped and took a deep breath, and raised his legs to climb up the largest stream that emptied into Lake Belik.

Baoyue lay on Dekang's body, looking up at both sides from time to time, and some rock crevices that were not covered by snow became the focus of her attention; A few times her little head rubbed against the rock wall, and I didn't know if she was in pain, just screamed, and still looked around, but Dekang's ears were grabbed tighter and tighter.

After climbing for a while, the mountain steepened and the ravine gradually narrowed, and finally divided into two small ditches on the mountainside, one to the northeast and the other to the northwest.

Dekang stood at the fork and carefully inspected the mountain: he felt that although the section of the creek in front of him in the northeast was relatively gentle, there was a very steep cliff in the distance, and it took a lot of effort to climb over, and there was a steep mountain again; On the contrary, this small creek in the northwest is a little steep in front of you, but you can climb up the bottom of the ditch, and the top of the northwest is gentler. It was decided to climb in the northwest direction first, and then choose the opportunity to go northeast.

It's a bit like walking in a zigzag, climbing all the way through a steep section and then there is no place to get through, and after climbing this section smoothly, there is a mess of rocks in front of you.

Although it is difficult to walk, the slope is not large, and there is a ravine formed by thousands of summer and winter snow on the top of the mountain. Dekang was in high spirits, put down the rock sheepskin and said to Baoyue Don't move, carried her on her back and carefully passed through the rocky hill, and ran towards the creek.

The mountains in this part of the Alka Mountains are not very high, and after a few zigzag climbs, we finally reach the top. The sky and the earth are white, and in the distance are the continuous mountains, and there is no edge in sight.

The top of the mountain was cold and cold, Baoyue was close to Dekang's back, Dekang quickly found a leeward rock crevice and spread rock sheepskin to let Baoyue lie down, he lay beside her and nibbled on the snow twice before holding her in his arms, and then wrapped his tail around her, only revealing a small head, staring at the round eyes and looking around.

"Baoyue. Cold or not? Dekang lowered his head and asked with concern.

Baoyue shook her head: "It's not cold." Second brother, can you take Baoyue around? I don't want to stay here. ”

"Hey." Dekang sighed: There is no shadow of a flying eagle at all, and it is not crazy to run to the top of the mountain in the ice and snow.

Before the words could be spoken, Baoyue's small mouth pouted.

Dekang thought about it for a while, and quickly ran a short circle on her back, and perfunctory: "Okay." But the second brother will warm you up first and then go to see it, or you won't get frostbitten. ”

Baoyue smiled and nodded, not aware of the second brother's little abacus.

After resting for a while, unable to withstand Baoyue's repeated pleadings, Dekang carried a rock sheepskin loop on her back.

The summit of the mountain is relatively gentle, and even if there are abrupt boulders, you can easily pass through it. Dekang was ready to carry Baoyue on his back and walk towards the east first, then turn his head to the north, and then go west, walking a total of one or two thousand steps and finally going back to the same place.

Walking on the top of the mountain is much easier than climbing the mountain, Dekang soon ran to the northernmost side, and when he just wanted to turn around, his eyes were attracted by the flat ground between the two mountain tops in the distance, Baoyue also stretched his neck to look, and his mouth exclaimed: "Second brother." Look, how come there is no snow there? ”

Above the mountainside of the opposite mountain range, a circular ground looms, and strangely there does not seem to be a single trace of snow.

Dekang turned his head and glanced at Baoyue, and the little cub also looked excited: "Second brother." Let's see. ”

"It's unimaginable to have a foothill without snow." Dekangsa ran along the ridge towards the north, and although the mountain was somewhat uneven, it was not a problem to pass through it.

As the distance got closer, the strange circular ground was clearly revealed.

It was a black enclosure that covered a large area, nearly two people high, and within the enclosure was a flat ground that looked dark earthy yellow, and the outside of the enclosure was scattered with rocks of all sizes rolling down from the peaks; Although the wall is a little pitted and crooked by rocks in some places, the original oval shape can be seen at a glance.

Strangely, there is not a single amount of snow not only inside the wall, but also almost no snow near the outer ring of the wall.

"How can there be a human-built wall in a cliff area where only snow leopards are infested?" The doubts in Dekang's heart became heavier, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and run towards the wall.

When there are still more than a thousand steps from the wall, it is obvious that the whole mountain is sloping upward, and this small hill is a smooth whole; This may not be surprising in the savannah, but it is not possible in the potholed mountains.

Dekang stopped, and used his forelimbs to pick up the gravel and dust.

Baoyue's face was full of curiosity: "Second brother." There's nothing here, what are you shaving? ”

Dekang didn't care to raise his head: "Second brother, look at what kind of ground it is, it can't be so smooth?" ”

After pulling off a few pieces of gravel, the front paw pierced into the dirt and pulled a few palm-sized ground, and the tip of the claw began to slip, and he obviously felt the metal-like hardness below, which was completely different from the touch of the claw on the rock and ice surface, and Dekang was shocked all of a sudden.

Baoyue felt Dekang's shock: "Second brother." What did you find? ”

Dekang put down Baoyue, leaned over and pulled away the dirt little by little, and found that the surface of the hard object below was also black, expanding to both sides, and it was all a smooth black surface.

Dekang took another twenty steps forward and continued to pull, but the surface was still hard and black.

Dekang looked behind him, and then at the black wall in front of him: "Could it be that this is a huge whole?" ”

Dekang turned around and looked at Baoyue blankly, unable to say a word.

Baoyue ran forward and threw herself into Dekang's arms, crying: "Second brother." What's wrong with you? Second brother! ”

Dekang hugged Baoyue tightly: "When Grandma rushed back that day, she asked the second brother to take you to escape to Belik Lake to hide, and Grandma's eyes were very strange at that time, full of hope and strength. I think it may have something to do with the black wall we found, and there's no way humans can tinker with anything here! ”

Baoyue stared at Dekang blankly, with a confused and slightly frightened expression.

Dekang picked up Baoyue and held the rock sheepskin in his mouth: "Go." Take a look inside the walls. ”

After walking a few dozen steps, when Dekang went around a rock and continued to move forward, the forelimbs stepped on a small pit and the ground seemed to sink down a little, Dekang was in a trance at this time, and he didn't care, and when the hind limbs stepped into the small pit again, he only heard a click, and the whole person fell down instantly.

It seemed to be a huge black space, and before Dekang could come to his senses, his body slammed into a hard, sleek place, and then bounced and fell into a small groove; In an instant, Baoyue bounced towards him again, Dekang instinctively clung to her, and Baoyue was already stunned.

After settling down, Dekang began to look around, his eyes swept and his whole body immediately became terrified.

It was a huge, dark space, with only a beam of light shining through the hole above his head that had just fallen, and in front of him was a long black chain with the thickness of his own three or four bodies, which led slightly diagonally up under him to the black wall in the distance.

Dekang's back was leaning against a sleek wall, and he carefully climbed half a circle along the chain clinging to the wall, only to find himself at the height of this dark space, and when he looked down, it was pitch black and he couldn't see the bottom.

Just now, I was lucky enough to get stuck at the junction of the long chain and the sleek wall, and when I fell, I only needed to miss half a position, and I would fall straight down.

Pieces.

Thinking of this, the fur on Dekang's neck stood up one by one.

The long chain was wrapped from bottom to top around a thick black iron pillar that was several times thicker than the herdsman's felt bag.

Dekang looked up, and saw that the iron pillar had pierced into the black wall on top like a long chain, but there was a large circle of obvious protrusions at the joint; Look down through the gaps, layer upon layer of long chains to the end of the eye.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of objects falling from the depths below, and Dekang couldn't help but exhale a long breath, looking up at the hole that had fallen, and thinking: 'It's only now that it has hit the ground, how deep does this have to be; Unless you put on the wings of a bird, where will you go? ’

This time I'm in big trouble.

Baoyue trembled with fright in Dekang's arms: "Second brother." It's so dark! At this time, where is it, Baoyue is afraid. ”

Dekang patted her on the back: "Baoyue is not afraid, there is a second brother." ”

In fact, Dekang didn't have a bottom in his heart, and everything in front of him was beyond his cognition: 'Was it that he was dazzled when he saw Grandma talking, or is this really related to our Dekang family, this can't be made by the wolf clan, what do humans want to do when they put this thing here?' Besides, even if there is a connection, the moon god will not want to stay in this place where there is no heaven and no earth。。。。。。 ’

Grandma a bear! Since you can't fly, you have to go down and see what the hell is going on.

"Baoyue. This is likely to have something to do with our Dekang family, you cling to the back of the second brother, hold on to your ears, let's climb down and have a look. The temperature here is about the same as in the cave, but Dekang is still reluctant to discard the rock sheepskin, and carries it on his back with Baoyue on his back, leaning on the giant pillar and crawling down the gap between the upper and lower parts of the long chain.

After only a few laps, Dekang was stunned by the new discovery: there was hardly a trace of dust on the giant pillars and long chains.

This is unthinkable in the sand-filled Altyn region. And I breathe fresh air, much warmer than the cold air at the top of the mountain.

Dekang involuntarily stopped: 'Is there a human being here?' What the hell are they trying to do in this place where birds don't, why is there no light and sound? It's still wrong, Da told Grandma that there is sand in the human felt bag, and it is not so clean at all. ’

It seems that the situation is getting more and more complicated.

Dekang patted her head, trying to find some clear ideas, but she didn't find the ideas, but Baoyue was shocked, she trembled and asked softly: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh. Just a little tickle on my head. ”

Dekang carried Baoyue on his back and continued to climb down in circles。。。。。。
