Chapter 4 Towards Victory

I slept with Baoyue Meimei in my arms, and woke up full of stars. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Baoyue was still sleeping in the dark, Dekang carried her on her back and walked down the mountain, there was no way, there were a few things that had to be done in these days and nights.

The road down the mountain was a little bumpy, and Baoyue didn't know when she woke up: "Second brother." Where do we go? ā€

"Go back across the river and get some loot."

"What's a good thing about loot?"

"The second brother has worked so hard and run so far, so he has to make some benefits."

"The benefits? What a good thing again. Which is better or loot? ā€

Elder brother... Pour...

Approaching the riverbank, Dekang stopped and lay on the ground to listen carefully to the movement on the other bank, and repeatedly confirmed that there was no abnormal situation on the other bank, and he waded through the water on his back on the original road of Baoyue.

After crossing the river, a strong smell of blood came to my nose, it was the blood of a brown bear.

Running all the way to the scent, next to a rock at the foot of the mountain, Dekang saw a pile of loose bones, two of which had sharp and neat cuts.

These greedy humans skinned the brown bear, cut the bear's paws, and probably took some of the brown bear meat.

It seems that the delicious feast of the eagles was staged after the humans left. ’

Two clear car footprints on the sand stretched eastward, and disappeared north after passing the pass.

"Hunters can't just drive one car into the heart of Altyn, it makes no difference if you want to die! There is only our Dekang family in this world, why should they divide their troops? Where are the other cars and what are they doing? Dekang had one question after another in his head.

Dekang wanted to follow up and find out, but considering Baoyue, everything was not worth mentioning in the face of survival.

From the river beach to the foot of the mountain, there are intermittent traces of mastiffs, tracking dogs, and brown bears, and the fight at that time must have been thrilling, and it was a little regrettable that Dekang could not see the best part.

Baoyue ran forward and sniffed the bones: "Second brother." Whose bones are at this time? ā€

"It's the she-brown bear, who was killed by cunning humans and eaten by the eagle," Decon replied angrily.

These damned, abominable eagles always snatch everyone's prey.

"And the two cubs?" Baoyue asked curiously.

Dekang sniffed the air around him and replied, "There are mastiffs, and there will be no escape." ā€

He continued to sniff the scent.

Seeing Dekang's serious appearance, Baoyue stopped playing, and followed behind his ass with an exaggerated head and began to sniff.

God knows what she's sniffing.

Dekang followed the faint smell to the foot of the mountain about forty paces east of the bear bone, where there was a small mound of new sand, and a few stones were pressed on the top.

The sand was so soft that a claw was exposed in a few moments, and Dekang gouged it a few more times, gritting his front teeth and dragging him out with all his might.

This is the unlucky guy who was killed on the spot by the brown bear and buried here by his owner.

biting the stomach of the tracking dog, tearing open a large gap, and pulling out the internal organs; Dekang began to patiently tear out the flesh and bones of the tracking dog little by little.

Baoyue watched Dekang work curiously on the side, and from time to time stepped forward to sniff the flesh and bones she had bitten, and when she felt bored, she ran to play beside the bear bones.

It was a delicate job, until the sky turned white, and a dog's skin, which was not complete, was revealed to him; In the end, Dekang carefully bit off his limbs and neck, and used his cracked teeth to grind off the fur, and he was done.

Picking it up in the stream to wash away the blood stains on both sides, Dekang proudly showed it to Baoyue.

"Second brother. What do you want fur for? Baoyue asked a question that had been held back for a long time.

Dekang touched her head: "Baoyue." The winter in Altyn is very cold, there is ice and snow everywhere, and the snow will fall higher than the second brother where we stand, so the second brother has to prepare a few thick furs to keep you warm; Especially when Baoyue sleeps alone, she must be wrapped in fur to sleep. ā€

Baoyue nodded, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Second brother." Don't you sleep with Baoyue? I want nursery rhymes to hold me to sleep. ā€

Dekang stared at her eyes: "Sometimes the second brother has to go out to hunt, and in winter, the second brother is alone, and the prey is difficult to catch, and it may take a few days and nights to come back once he goes out." ā€

Baoyue looked at Dekang in a daze, blinked her eyes a few times, and looked like she was about to cry.

Alas! Born in the summer, Baoyue would not have known how unforgiving and cruel Altyn's winter was, and sometimes it was even more terrifying than humans.

The sandgrouse thrown in the small pond is estimated to have been eaten by the eagle, leaving only a few chicken feathers floating on the edge of the pond.

"I have to catch some prey for Baoyue to eat." Dekang calculated: "Baoyue." The second brother stuffed the fur here, you just hide on the side, don't come out, I'll catch something delicious. ā€

After settling Baoyue, Dekang ran to the bear bone, found the most bloodstained sand and rolled over until he made a mess of his fur, and then arched his head into the sand again, making a mess again.

With an embarrassed, bloodstained, lifeless look, Dekang staggered towards the heart of the three-way swamp.

Along the way, he pretended to fall to the ground several times, struggled to get up and continued walking, and finally fell headlong in the sedge, he straightened his limbs and half opened his mouth, and made a dead appearance.

At this time, there were already some early birds out to forage, and they were startled at first when they saw Dekang appear like this, and they got up and flew away, as the sun came up, gradually, there were birds far away along the aquatic plants, although there was still some distance from Dekang, but this was a good start.

Hey, hey, hey...

Gradually, the birds ignored Dekang's presence and pecked at him, just keeping a warning distance from him. Not long after, several brown-headed gulls landed in the open space near Dekang, chirped at him for a while and began to feed, and a small brown-headed gull even ran to the vicinity curiously to stare at it for a while.

'Not a few taels of meat. Dekang squinted and didn't bother to pay attention.

By the time the sun came out, only Dekang was left in the open space with abundant water and grass.

The two large, one small and three mergansers circled a few times and landed outside the warning distance, and turned around a few times in place, and the fat male duck quacked at Dekang, and suddenly he fanned his wings, screamed and rushed towards him, and fluttered and screamed back and forth in half a circle outside the place where Dekang pounced.

The gulls, geese, and wild ducks all stopped eating and watched vigilantly.

Dekang held his breath and lay there without moving.

The male mallard flapped his wings with satisfaction and turned away, and the family reunion was another flapping and screaming, and they also began to bury their heads in foraging, and before they knew it, the merganser family was getting closer and closer to Dekang.

Dekang held his breath and secretly opened one eye to glance at it, and the merganser family was unaware.

There is no time to lose, and the opportunity will never come.

Dekang suddenly rolled over and ran towards the fat male duck. The male duck raised his head in surprise, looked at the figure that rushed by, and then turned around with a strange scream and ran two steps to take off with his wings.

Dekang jumped and bit it hard, the feathers on the tail of the merganser duck were torn off, his body just sank, and his wings flapped desperately and took off again.

The moment he landed, without waiting for his forelimbs to hit the ground, Dekang opened his mouth in despair and pounced on the merganser duck that flapped its wings again, and did not bite anything, but the miracle happened unbelievably. Dekang's right front paw hooked the male merganser's paw before he could retract it, and he screamed and fell in front of Dekang.

When he flapped his wings and tried to escape for his life again, Dekang's two front paws unceremoniously pressed him fiercely, and he quickly lowered his head and bit his neck, and the fat merganser duck fluttered and twitched a few times before it was over.

The entire nearby swamp was littered with chickens and dogs. The birds spread their wings and fled from the land of right and wrong, and landed far away on the other side of the river, looking in horror.

The female merganser with her ducklings hovered in the air, chirping incessantly...

Dekang grabbed the merganser duck and ran briskly towards the foot of the mountain where Baoyue was hiding.

Halfway through, I saw Baoyue shaking her head and tail, jumping up and down, and when she arrived, she didn't care that Dekang was still holding a duck in her mouth, and threw herself into his arms and arched wildly, and then kissed her with her endless saliva, and the little tail shook quickly behind her.

Dekang raised his head and shook the fat duck a few times, and continued to run towards the foot of the mountain, Baoyue followed closely behind him, his mouth was grunting and he didn't know what he was saying, and his tone was very excited.

When he reached the edge of the dog's skin, Dekang put down the fat duck and pressed it with his forelimbs, bit his stomach and tore it lightly, and the hot internal organs flowed to the sand with blood.

Baoyue jumped forward and took a big bite to eat, and after a while, her mouth was full of blood and duck feathers, and after eating the internal organs, Baoyue sniffed the pale yellow fat duck fat, opened her mouth and bit it, and pulled it to the duck's butt in a few strokes, until she finished eating the fat.

Dekang only drooled when he watched from the sidelines.

Fat duck!

Wait until Baoyue finishes eating, pats the bulging little belly and gets up satisfied, Dekang stepped forward to eat, the taste of autumn duck meat can not be compared with the delicious sand chicken, but now there is no capital to pick and choose, as long as you can fill your stomach, you can eat anything, except for the same kind, of course.

After eating the merganser duck and holding the fur of the tracking dog, Dekang took Baoyue and prepared to head east.

At the three-way crossing, we walked a short distance north and crossed the river at a gentle level.

The whole terrain here is more or less the same: mountains, sand, swamps, streams, rivers are intertwined, and all kinds of plants grow tenaciously in turn, desolate but not lacking in life.

Beyond the river is the rolling Alka Mountains.

At its western end is the Haxia River, which originates from Lake Aqi, and to the north and to the east is the famous and leafy Kasha River.

Lake Beylik is just a short distance from the western end of the mountain range.

After crossing the river, Dekang did not follow the river, but carried Baoyue up the mountain and climbed the mountainside.

Because there is a section of the river that passes under the cliff at the end of the mountain range, it is very steep and surrounded by dark pits, and Dekang is not sure that he can pass through with Baoyue on his back, and he may not be able to pass alone.

The ascent to the mountain was gentle and mostly sandy, and they hummed a little song and climbed up the mountainside with ease.

Climb high and look far away: a red, yellow and green water and grass country nearby, birds or walk or fly and enjoy in it; In the distance, the sand and mountains are connected, and the running beasts bring up the yellow dust in the sky; The top of Kunlun Mountain is covered with snow, like a dream.

For a moment, Dekang and Baoyue were stunned: "Our territory Altyn is so beautiful. ’

Good things come to an end, and bad luck takes over.

Dekang didn't expect the road down the mountain to be so difficult, it was just an extension of the mountain, with a normal gentle slope to the north and cliffs everywhere to the south.

Dekang chose the nearest route first, and after running for a while, he noticed that the mountain was getting steeper and steeper, until he could no longer walk, but when he ran to a high place to look around, the river valley was not far below.

He could only retreat, and the trouble came, some places were broken roads, and some places were small cliffs, and he could jump lightly when he went down, but he couldn't jump up when he retreated.

There was no way back, and Baoyue was so anxious that her eyes popped out.

Dekang admonishes himself: calm down. Calm down. Calm down again.

Tsai carefully observed the surrounding mountains and found that there was no way back to the original road, but the horizontal plane of the mountain was generally in a horizontal position, and it may be possible to move forward in a roundabout way.

To the west, at the end of the mountain is the bend of the Haxia River, and even if you can break there, there is no way to go except to jump into the river; To the east

, vaguely remember that there is a stream that flows into the Haxia River along the mountain, and maybe you can go out.

"Baoyue. Don't be afraid, the second brother has a way. Dekang had a confident expression.

Unable to advance or retreat on the cliff, Baoyue was about to cry.

Dekang carried Baoyue on his back, told her to hold on to her ears, and began to climb east.

Sometimes climbing a few rocks, sometimes jumping over a deep stream, Dekang stubbornly advanced, but his forefoot was a little worn, so he walked a long way, and then a huge rock with a height of nearly three bodies stood straight in front of him, and he couldn't jump on it with Baoyue on his back.

Dekang stopped and put down Baoyue to rest for a while, and his mind turned quickly: What should I do? If you turn back, you have to walk a long way, and you may not be able to get around... What to do...?

"Jump!" In a flash of inspiration, there it was.

"Second brother. Did you come up with a good idea? Baoyue saw Dekang's smile and hurriedly asked.

Dekang nodded vigorously: "Baoyue." You wait here, don't look around, it's dangerous. The second brother jumped up first to see the situation. ā€

There was no room to run, Dekang squatted down and took a deep breath, his mouth tightly clutched the fur of the tracking dog, and his limbs jumped upwards and jumped onto the rock face in one fell swoop.

It is a huge rock, sloping from west to east, and the east side is a multi-body drop from the rest of the mountain, and it can be clearly seen on the rock face that a small stream in front of it flows into a larger stream in the southeast, and the large stream flows directly into the Haxia River in the south.

Dekang happily turned around and said to Baoyue, "Baoyue." We've found a way out. ā€

Baoyue had a bitter face: "Second brother." Baoyue couldn't jump. ā€

"Look at me!"

Dekang picked a rock face with more bumps and lay down, and his body slowly retreated: first the tail, then the hind limbs, then the whole body, and finally only the claws of the forelimbs hooked the rock corner, and the whole body was hung in the air against the rock wall, and Dekang's tail was not far from Baoyue.

"Baoyue. Jump up and grab the second brother's tail, and the second brother will take you to climb up. Dekang turned around and shouted.

Hmmm. Baoyue jumped and grabbed Dekang's drooping tail.

Dekang just wanted to climb up with strength, but Baoyue screamed and let go of his claws and fell.

"What's wrong? Baoyue. Unable to see what happened to Baoyue below, Dekang could only ask loudly.

Baoyue cried: "Second brother." Baoyue couldn't catch it. ā€

"Stupid. If you can't catch it, bite it with your teeth! Dekang gritted his teeth and shouted.

After only hesitating for a moment, Baoyue jumped up again, and while grabbing Dekang's tail with her front paws, she opened her mouth and bit down fiercely.

The sharp pain at the tip of the tail suddenly spread to the whole body, Dekang trembled in pain, quickly retracted his hind limbs, and firmly hooked the rock crack with his claws to exert force, and at the same time moved his forelimbs forward little by little along the concave and convex places, and the front and rear paws were bloodshot, and finally dragged Baoyue to climb up the rock face, and she still bit the tip of the tail fiercely.

"Baoyue. Hurry up and let go of your mouth! Dekang screamed in pain.

Baoyue's small teeth were bloodshot.

Dekang's poor tail was bitten through by her small sharp teeth, and beads of blood dripped down the fur onto the rock face.

Baoyue came back to her senses, looked at Dekang at a loss, and said cowardly, "Second brother." Baoyue didn't mean it, Baoyue rubbed it for the second brother. ā€

Dekang pretended to be generous and patted her on the head: "Second brother is fine." Baoyue jumped really high, and when she grew up, she would definitely be better than the second brother. ā€

'Oops! If I knew it would hurt to be bitten on the tip of my tail, I'd rather go back and walk a little longer to get around this damn boulder. ’

Dekang continued to walk with Baoyue, and it didn't take long to reach the small stream.

To the east along the bank of the stream, it is a terrain of rocks and sand, much easier to walk than the cliffs in the previous section, Dekang is a little tired, Baoyue got down from the back and walked by herself, looking around full of curiosity, sometimes a small grass mound she would come forward to sniff for a while.

Halfway through the road, the stream suddenly turned into four or five small waterfalls, cascading directly into the ravine below.

Looking at the gentle sand under the waterfall, finally to the last level, Dekang is ready to jump.

Pick up a stone and throw it, the stone throws a short arc and smashes it on the sand, directly smashing a small sand pit; Then push a large rock and roll down, the big rock rolls along the cliff, smashing a large sand pit at the bottom of the cliff, and sinking directly into the pit, not moving at all.

Dekang smiled and said to Baoyue: "It's good luck, the sand here is very soft, Baoyue." We jumped. ā€

Baoyue hugged Dekang's leg tightly: "Second brother." Baoyue was afraid. ā€

If you want to reason with her, I don't know how long it will take, so let's jump directly. Dekang's eyes rolled a few times.

Without saying a word, Baoyue jumped down on his back, rolled and got up when he touched the ground.

Poor Baoyue fell dizzy again, and was confused for a while before she got up, and threw herself into Dekang's arms with teary eyes.
