Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Basin
After inspecting back and forth between the two gates for a few times, Dekang still didn't figure out any fame, so he had to continue to run inside, hoping to find a space to trap the tiger as soon as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After entering more than 300 steps, the same gate appeared in front of him, this time Dekang did not break in directly, and turned his head to stare at the door panel after entering the gate.
A conspicuous mark on the door panel depicts a small, almost circular head, asymmetrical to the body, a neck as thick as the head, and a large body and thick limbs that seem to cover the entire mark.
Brown bear.
Unexpectedly, the brown bear was also confined by strange humans, Dekang and Baoyue shouted almost at the same time, and they stared at each other for a while, seeing the surprised expressions on each other's faces.
For this character who impressed them at the fork in the three, they would also see him from time to time in their sleep, after all, this was the first time that Dekang and the others had faced an opponent much stronger than themselves alone.
For Baoyue, the second brother's easy removal of the brown bear and the tracking dog made her feel a strong sense of security while losing the protection of Ah Da and her grandmother, and because of this, she began to pester Dekang all the time.
Without glancing at the space where the brown bear was confined, Dekang ran to the opposite gate. After hesitating at the door, he mustered up the courage to look up, and kept silently reciting in his heart, don't see the wolf pattern.
It's a tiger. There is no tiger motif with an MONOCULUS.
The tiger's majesty is still there, but the heart-wrenching thrill is gone.
Baoyue followed behind Dekang and looked at the tiger depicted on the mark, although his expression was still a little afraid, but his eyes had dared to stare at it, which was a good start.
"Second brother. This tiger is not as scary as the one at the gate. β
"Yes, this tiger has no magic eye. I don't know why it's strange why humans put magic eyes on the tigers at the gate, and the other guys include brown bears, little foxes, and jackals. β
Baoyue opened her small mouth: "The tiger at the gate has a magic eye, no wonder Baoyue is so afraid." β
"The Tiger is indeed a formidable opponent, and you should be very careful in the future." Dekang almost spoke to Baoyue word by word.
The little cub rarely posed as an adult wolf, and nodded solemnly.
After looking at it for a while, Dekang turned around and looked at this space, the width and depth of the space are much smaller than the space below, especially the depth, which is only a few hundred steps, and the bottom cannot be compared with the bottom at a glance below; Even if the little fox's side takes up some space, the gap is still very obvious.
Forty or fifty paces away from the gate, the wall beside him was clinging to the wall, and a low square wall was about five feet tall and wide, and at first glance there were no familiar silver-gray markings on the low wall.
Dekang glanced at Baoyue and motioned for her to come and take a look.
The low wall runs down the wall to the bottom, and on the back side of the wall are the familiar side-by-side doors, exactly as seen from the low wall below.
Dekang skillfully straightened up and leaned on the wall, stretched out his left paw to pull the small straight rod a few times, and then hooked the U-shaped rod hard and pulled it while pressing the wall with his right forelimb, and the door slowly opened.
Looking all the way from below, the inside of the low-walled gate was empty, and this time Dekang didn't have much hope, getting up and opening the door was purely a habitual move. He turned his head and glanced in as he slid down, and his eyes widened in an instant, and this time he finally saw something.
Seeing that the second brother stayed motionless at the open door, Baoyue also squeezed forward, and the two of them stared at the small space in front of them together.
The space is divided into three parts, upper, middle and lower, and the poles on each plane are arranged horizontally at neat intervals, the lower plane is about the same length as its forelimbs from the ground, and at a distance from the walls on both sides, there are some poles sparsely erected.
There were half-body-wide strips of horizontal gaps in the two corners of the inner wall from top to bottom, and Dekang squinted his eyes and looked into the gap, which seemed to be empty.
When he was looking carefully, Baoyue's muttering voice came from his ears again: "Second brother is looking at it blankly, there is still nothing here." β
The little cub really didn't use his brain, and Dekang stretched out his forelimbs to give her a scalp: "Baoyue." It is strange that humans have a purpose in dividing the small space into three spaces of the same height, plus the small space on the ground. β
"Intentions?"
"Humans divide the space in this way in order to store more and better things."
"But every pole is empty, how can you put things?"
"It won't be seeds or anything like that, it should be something bigger, and the herdsmen on the grassland can bundle up the dried winter grass and store it here."
Speaking of this, Dekang had a flash of inspiration.
This is a space where tigers are confined, and it is strange that humans divide the small space of the low wall to store the tiger's delicacy. Yes, if you pile snow in a small space and put the delicious food in it, you can keep it for a long time; Therefore, the small space is separated by a pole leakage, which can not only pile up layers of snow without freezing the meat into a single piece.
Thinking of this, Dekang looked up and down, left and right at the space several times, and the more he looked, the more he felt that his speculation was reasonable. When Dekang hooked the pole on the outside with his forelimbs and was about to pull it outward, he felt that something was wrong, and the depth in the space seemed to be less than five positions.
The clue may be in the gap in the corner of the wall.
Dekang stretched out his head and tried along the wall, it was okay to squeeze in, but it would be very troublesome to exit, he couldn't turn around at all, it was easy to get stuck by the vertical pole, he glanced at Baoyue, the little cub was small and could enter and in freely.
Dekang pointed to the corner of the wall and said to Baoyue, "Baoyue." You go in and see if there's anything in the corner of the wall? β
Baoyue responded and shook her tail and jumped in and ran in, every time she asked her to help her do something, she was always very happy, I really hope that she won't be lazy when she grows up.
When he got to the corner of the wall, because there was a crossbar close to the wall, he couldn't look up smoothly, Baoyue first glanced left and right under the crossbar, and then half-turned his body close to the wall and poked his little head out of the crossbar first, and then put his left and right forelimbs on the pole and pushed hard, turned around and lay upright in the gap.
The whole movement is not neat, but it looks like a wolf cub, and I don't know when she learned it.
Twisting her head to inspect the gap for a while, Baoyue ran to another corner to investigate: "Second brother." The space behind is quite large, more than a position above you, there are strange things in it, Baoyue doesn't know what it is, and there is a big pipe. β
Dekang listened and thought to himself: 'Strange thing? Big tubes. It is likely that it is some kind of tool of human beings, and it is not necessarily possible to draw conclusions if you go up and look at it yourself. β
"It's okay, come back, Baoyue."
Baoyue, who picked up and ran back, kissed her, and the little cub smiled happily: "Second brother, it's strange why humans store things here in a small space, and they can be put down if they are not separated." β
"They must have a reason for segregating the storage. The second brother also helped you hide in a small space. β
"But Baoyue's hiding space can climb in and out."
"If you pull down the stepping stone, it's not blocked either. It's strange that the humans probably want to keep those things in the back all the time, maybe it has something to do with the delicious food they want to store. β
Dekang didn't know what kind of mentality he was, since the tragedy happened, he didn't want to be asked by her in front of Baoyue, even if he guessed randomly, he would say a few words casually.
Anyway, it's just the two of us, and no one knows the answer.
Hey, hey, hey...
After looking at the small space, Dekang stood in front of the low wall and began to seriously look at the tiger's forbidden place.
On the opposite side are more than a dozen connected fences of the same size, the width of the fence is nearly fifty positions, the depth is relatively long, and the height is about seven or eight positions.
On both sides and behind the fence are black walls, and on the outer fence floor there is a long half-height low wall, and on the low wall are a whole row of poles erected at intervals, and there are two long horizontal poles connecting each pole in the middle and middle parts of the pole.
Such a pole fence not only does the neighbor's tiger not see each other correctly, it is impossible to get entangled and fight, but it can also make the guy standing outside see the tiger trapped inside at a glance without worrying that they will rush out, of course, the guy outside does not want to go in casually. It's strange that human heads are really bright, and you can think of such a trick.
If the herders on the grasslands build such fences, those who want to steal cattle and sheep will be disappointed.
The outer corner of each fence has a low wall space similar to that of the birdcage, the height is level with the walls on both sides, and the depth of the maximum is about a dozen positions, but this space is semi-open to the inside, and the tiger can come and go at will.
Dekang guessed that the strange humans must have locked the tiger in through this door.
Greeting Baoyue, Dekang ran straight to the door of the first fence, and on the gate was the same U-shaped pole handle as the space of the low wall opposite.
Leaning on the wall and pulling a few small straight rods, he hooked the U-shaped pole and slowly opened the door, and before he could slide off the ground, Baoyue quickly squeezed in through the crack in the door, and heard Baoyue's scream at the same time as Dekang landed, and then there was a piercing scraping sound from the claws quickly and indiscriminately planing the wall.
"What is Baoyue playing?" He quickly looked in.
The sight in front of him made Dekang cry and laugh.
There are two black basins in the corner, one large and one small, the larger one has the caliber of most of its body, and the smaller one is about the length of Baoyue's body.
Baoyue also saw it as soon as she entered the door, and she couldn't help but jump into the basin with curiosity, there was a little inclination on the inside of the basin, and Baoyue wanted to lie on the edge of the basin after jumping in, but she knew that her front and rear limbs kept slipping in the basin, and she fell and fell and got up again.
Dekang turned and slowly pushed the door open, entering the fence with only one door made him feel very uneasy, opening the door to relieve the tension a little, but fortunately the basin was only a few steps away from the door, and it could come out at the slightest disturbance.
went in and stepped forward to hold the edge of the basin, stretched out his left forelimb to hook Baoyue's front paws and dragged her out of the basin, and the basin shook slightly when Baoyue's little head came out of the basin, and when her abdomen was on the edge of the basin, Dekang obviously felt that the basin was shaking.
Pulling out Baoyue, he stared blankly at the large basin, which was the second movable object in the large space besides the gate.
The appearance of such a thing in the tiger's forbidden place made Dekang also a little curious.
"This damn stinking thing, it's not fun at all." Bao Yue said with her mouth cocked and pretending to be angry, her eyes kept looking at the second brother, and the little cub wanted to be comforted by him.
Dekang patted her little head: "Baoyue." If you see something unfamiliar in a strange place, you must not rush up at once, it will kill you. You don't know how cunning the humans of the savannah are, each of them sets up various makeshift traps to hunt everything from birds to small mice, little rabbits to little foxes and even brown bears and us wolf clans. β
"But it's just the two of us here, how can there be a trap." Baoyue's small mouth curled up even more protrudingly.
"What if it's strange that humans are doing such a trap? On the earth, reckless and stupid guys don't live long, and only those characters who are cautious, bold and careful, and always learn new skills will have a good time. Dekang patiently admonished, and seemed to have to remind her from time to time.
"Baoyue is still young." The little cub and Dekang played with Laipi, shaking his forelimbs and little head rubbing against his chest.
I really can't help her, I scratched my neck a few times, and Pi Dekang began to look at the big basin again, I don't know what the purpose of the strange humans put this thing in the tiger's territory.
Baoyue went to school this time, and walked to the small basin in the middle to play.
Watching Baoyue jump in and crawl out of the small basin and have fun, a ridiculous thought suddenly popped up in Dekang's mind: "Wouldn't it be strange that humans saw that the tiger was uncomfortable in the fence and howled day and night, so they gave him two pots to play with?" β
Thinking of this, Dekang put the front grab on the edge of the basin and leaned forward to press down hard, only to hear a snap, a pain in his forehead, and the other side of the upturned basin edge knocked on his head, Dekang hurriedly threw away the big basin, but heard Baoyue's giggling laughter behind him, and looked back to see the little cub lying on the edge of the small basin to watch the joke.
"This thing doesn't look like a tiger toy?" The weight of the large basin is quite heavy, Dekang touched the forehead that was knocked and pursed his mouth to laugh at himself.
"Toys!" Hearing this word, Baoyue's eyes lit up instantly, and at the same time, she stretched out her little head and looked around.
Seeing Baoyue holding the edge of the basin and stretching out her upper body to sway around the edge of the basin, Dekang almost wanted to rush up to stop her, the little cub wouldn't flip and fall down with the basin.
Hey?
Why does the small pot that Baoyue plays with not move at all?
Dekang looked at the small basin, nothing special, but it was smaller than the big basin, why Baoyue's weight was all pressed on the edge of the basin while the small basin was motionless.
He motioned for Baoyue to climb out, and he stepped forward and pressed down again on the edge of the basin, but this time he didn't dare to use too much force at once, but a little afterburner, until the imaginary shaking appeared, and Dekang didn't want to be beaten by himself again.
Who knew that the afterburner was in the end, and he blushed and hung his whole body on the edge of the basin, but the small basin still didn't shake for half a minute.
Grandma a bear! Something strange has happened.
Dekang looked at the big market and then looked at the small basin, and couldn't find a clue.
Baoyue looked at him suspiciously, she couldn't figure out what the second brother was doing, and after waiting for a while, he didn't move and jumped into the small basin to start her juggling game.
The small basin was only a slap away from the wall, and Dekang looked around a few times, but still didn't find anything special.
When he raised his head, the corner of his eye swept to the wall next to him to protrude something, and when he came in, his eyeballs were attracted by the two basins, ignoring the small objects around him.
Dekang leaned in to take a closer look, it was a black tube with a thin front and a thick back, with nostril-sized aperture like a nose, protruding about half a palm's length, just as high as his own chin, and its near head was slightly bent down to close its mouth, he squinted and turned his head to look into the hole, which was black.
Dekang hooked the aperture with his front paws and tugged it, but he didn't move at all, and it felt very firm.
At this time, Dekang suddenly discovered that the aperture mouth was facing the small basin on the ground.
Could it be that this is another arrangement of the strange people with the intention of the category, so why can the basin be moved?
Everyone knows that it is easy to carry small rocks, and if you want to move large rocks, even brown bears with big shoulders and round waists may not be able to do it.
It seems strange that humans like to do things that are unreasonable and inexplicable, so that the guys who have fallen in with bad luck can open their eyes.
To be honest, if time could be reversed, Dekang would never take Baoyue up the mountain to look for a fat mutton.
When he was tired, he took a nap in the cave, slept sleepily, went to the shore of Lake Belik to walk around a few times, caught a little fat rabbit by the way, and galloped through the valley to hunt the little fat sheep when he was hungry, that was his free way of living.
To Dekang's surprise, his complaint about the dark space changed in nature in the blink of an eye, and it didn't take long for him to feel that being able to see those pictures was the glory of his life and the glory of the Dekang family.
"Second brother. What are you looking at? "With an elf like Baoyue by your side, you won't feel clean even in the dark space.
"This is something related to the strange human captivity of tigers, and the specific role of the second brother is being studied." Grandma said that when the wolf clan is depressed and depressed, a little self-deprecation and humor will at least make you feel that the situation is not as bad as you imagined.
Baoyue is of course naΓ―ve, and when she has a play object, she won't pay attention to Dekang's emotional changes: "Second brother." Baoyue wants to bring this small basin back to the cave and have fun. β
"The second brother also wanted to help Baoyue carry it back, but the small basin was disobedient and refused to move."
"The second brother knocked it down first. Baoyue helped the second brother collide together. β
'Who the hell is helping whom?' The impact of my brother's running is quite powerful, but this is only for the prey or opponent, if you compete with this item that is harder than a rock, it is better to hit the wall directly. β
Thinking so, his face put on a serious expression.
Dekang nodded vigorously at Baoyue, squatted down and used his shoulders to resist the lower side of the basin, bowed his waist, and carried his hind limbs upwards violently, and then carried them again; Baoyue also looked like a second brother on the side, but the inconspicuous small basin was blocked in front of us like a boulder, no matter how he carried it and how he topped it, he just didn't move.
Dekang had expected such a result, and the small round ball on the tube could not be dragged down, not to mention the basin whose caliber was many times larger than the pipe.
He stole a glance at Baoyue and collapsed to the ground as if he had exhausted his strength.
Baoyue, who was already in tears rolling in her eyes, cried out for a long time...
