Chapter 65: Heaven and Earth
Towards evening, the crooked mouth first felt that something was wrong, he ran up to stop the little sand fox and told him to be on guard, and he ran back to report to Dekang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There had been two encounters of tracking dogs on the dirt slope in the distance, and although Crooked Mouth had slipped far into the hollow and passed smoothly, the experience of that terrible night was firmly in his mind, and now, Crooked Mouth felt the same way.
The first time you fall into a trap, you are unlucky, and the second time you fall into the same trap, you are stupid; Crooked Mouth is a well-known detective character in the northern community, and it is not so easy for the humans here to draw gourds to fool him again.
"Lord. Something is wrong, and I've already met two sets of tracking dogs. ”
"Be specific."
On this part of the road, the little sand fox and the crooked mouth took Dekang and Baoyue through the hollow, Dekang didn't see the tracking dogs on both sides in the distance, and felt that something was wrong and was wondering.
"Could it be a coincidence?" Baoyue interjected from the side.
Crooked mouth shook his head and said: "At present, there is no wolf clan and jackal clan in this area, and the tracking dogs and mastiffs who came out to help humans graze are very leisurely, but the two groups of characters in the rest of their lives, the small ones carefully observed for a while, and found that they were looking around, they should be in a state of alert, and I have a kind... Balls... ”
Seeing the anxious look on his crooked mouth, Dekang instead settled down and whispered to Yan Yuese: "Crooked mouth." Don't rush, speak slowly. ”
Crooked mouth glanced at Baoyue, and found that she stared at herself and shrunk her neck and blurted out: "It feels like being rounded up that night." ”
"That's right." Dekang muttered and got up and waved his forelimbs to both sides to signal the mouthy little brothers and brothers to come back, in this case, sending out flank guards is purely superfluous, and narrowing the target is the best way to deal with it.
The two appearances of human tracking dogs are on the right side, and the mouthy brother on the right side of the alert saw the first wave of tracking dogs, and the second wave of tracking dogs avoided early due to the crooked mouth to increase vigilance, so the mouthy brother did not see it, he thought it was only an occasional encounter, and he did not feel at ease.
The mouthy little brother didn't even see the shadow of a tracking dog like Dekang, so he naturally didn't know what was going on, but it was a little strange that the little sand fox and the crooked mouth kept a good slope and didn't go, but they went down to drill into the depression where they couldn't see the surrounding situation.
As soon as they saw Dekang's actions, the two brothers ran back.
Dekang told them about the situation, and decided to go forward to see it in person with Baoyue on his back, and the mouthy little brothers and brothers followed behind as the headquarters, and then looked for countermeasures when the situation was clarified.
At present, the situation is quite favorable to Dekang and them, and this time neither the tracking dogs nor humans have found their whereabouts, which greatly improves Dekang's chances of choosing to advance and retreat.
The little sand fox searched and advanced on the dirt slope alone, Dekang walked down with Baoyue and Crooked Mouth on his back, and the mouthy little brothers followed up on a dirt slope behind, and the six characters ran forward cautiously.
Strangely, there was no trace of the tracking dog and the mastiff, and Dekang and they all thought it was strange, and began to expand the search area, and the mouthy little brother and brother went hand in hand with the headquarters in the distance of the two wings and three or four dirt slopes.
As the sky gradually darkened, the scene that made the crooked mouth tremble happened again, when they approached a human settlement to investigate, two vigilant tracking dogs came out of the darkness and roared to give an alarm, and in the blink of an eye, a group of tracking dogs and mastiffs poured out of the settlement.
Dekang and his entourage fled.
As in the previous time, neither the humans nor the tracking dogs followed.
Dekang led them until the lights of the settlement were out of sight, and then stopped to catch their breath.
"Lord. What should we do? The mouthy little brother was the first to ask.
"What do you guys think?" Dekang looked at the crooked mouth.
"We can't go any further, humanity must be waiting for us to take the bait somewhere in front, and then we will go forward and end up like the last time." Crooked mouth replied in a deep voice.
Dekang nodded: "The crooked mouth is right. Let's split up, fence you and Big Mouth and turn around and go east to join them in Dahara, and tell them about the situation here, if something is wrong with Dahara, everyone will have to disperse and leave, in short, we can't be wiped out by the humans. When you get to the wandering area of the Great Yin Mountain and the eastern tribes, just wait for news there, and I will send a little cub to contact you. ”
Speaking of this, Dekang raised his voice: "Remember, in the loitering area, the Dekang community must not be exposed under any circumstances. ”
"Yes. Lord. The mouthy little brother replied loudly and left.
Dekang turned around and shifted westward with Baoyue and Crooked Mouth, Scud, and Little Sand Fox on their backs, and on their left was the old wolf clan, and then on the fugitives.
Originally, the big and small Hara were arranged in the easternmost place, because the east side was the farthest away from the fenced pasture, and everyone felt that it was relatively safe, so Dekang let the small Hara with limited mobility go there, and now it seems that the big Hara and his party are also very dangerous, because the last human ambush was almost such a long distance.
On the contrary, it was the fugitives who originally felt that it was more dangerous, and Dekang analyzed it from the distance and felt that those characters were relatively safe.
After running a long distance, everyone was tired and thirsty, but in order to get rid of the tracking of humans, Dekang, Crooked Mouth, Scud and Little Sand Fox gritted their teeth and continued to hurry, only Baoyue was leisurely lying on Dekang's back and napping.
The black lights ran blindly for a while, and the situation on the road was not optimistic, and it was obvious that the humans in the vicinity had raised their alert. Dekang estimated that he had reached the vicinity of the old wolf clan's marching route, and Dekang ordered the little sand fox and the crooked mouth and scud to spread out on both sides, and the five characters stretched their noses together to sniff the scent of the old wolf clan as they advanced.
After looking back and forth in the general area, and finding no trace of the old wolf clan, Dekang not only changed his face.
"It's not like the dunes are surrounded by humans along the way." After Crooked Mouth, Scud, and Little Sand Fox came back to report, Baoyue looked at Dekang and said.
Crooked mouth frowned and whispered, "It shouldn't be." Dune's journey is an oasis, and he and the bait noticed something was wrong last time, and if something happened here, he wouldn't be fooled again. ”
Dekang nodded in agreement with the crooked mouth.
"And where did they go?" The little sand fox asked according to Baoyue's meaning.
'The first possibility is that the old wolf clan has been captured by humans; The second possibility, the situation is not so serious, it has already passed; The third possibility, like myself, found that something was wrong and slipped sideways, and the fourth possibility, the old wolf clan ran slowly and didn't arrive here yet. These thoughts quickly popped into Dekang's head.
Looking at the expressions of Baoyue, Crooked Mouth, Scud, and Little Sand Fox, everyone should have guessed the same, and Dekang quickly discussed with them for a while.
Everyone thinks that the first two situations are unlikely, the latter two situations are possible, and the third situation is the most likely, after all, the leading brother is the old wolf clan, and the oasis who has learned a profound lesson is playing the role of a former explorer.
It's not easy to wrap up such a combination.
In this way, the problem comes, it is impossible to go back, the old wolf clan and his gang sense that something is wrong and slide sideways in advance, will they go east or west?
'Dune wouldn't have come to me if they were smart enough. Dekang pondered.
At the thought of the three detachments gathering together, Dekang's head was big for a while, and now the target was even bigger, maybe he would still be surrounded by humans when he hid around.
Dekang looked up and saw Crooked Mouth and Little Sand Fox, they were waiting for their decision, thinking that they couldn't care so much, and they left this dangerous place first.
After running west over a few dirt slopes, Dekang stopped and put down Baoyue and squatted on the ground to catch his breath, Baoyue asked puzzledly: "Second brother." Why don't you run, we need to get out of here as soon as possible. ”
Dekang glanced at her angrily and said, "It seems that all the humans and tracking dogs are on alert, it seems that Hasha is not peaceful there, what if we run through it and run exhausted, what if we are surrounded by humans?" ”
"What should I do?" Baoyue blurted out.
"Hey, hey... Here you have enough spirit to deal with them. Dekang said with a smile.
Crooked mouth, Scud and little sand fox breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, they gritted their teeth and followed Dekang all the way, not daring to show the slightest tired look, afraid that if they were discarded by Dekang in the face of a life-and-death decision, even if they escaped, they would no longer have the opportunity to get close to the Lord in the future.
With such a running style, even the scuds are almost unbearable.
Maintaining the ability to run is the basis for having the basic status of the colony, and characters who can't keep up with the rhythm of the colony will be abandoned, and the old wolf clan is an example, and Dekang needs him to be the gatekeeper for the inexperienced and impulsive Dekang community.
It is estimated that human beings have not yet discovered their whereabouts, and they will not go out to hunt down wolves in the dark, Dekang randomly found a leeward side of a dirt slope to rest, Rao is Dekang is strong and full of physical strength, but he is really tired all the way to carry Baoyue, and he only feels a sore back when he sits on the ground.
The crooked mouth and the little sand fox couldn't hold on for a long time, lying back to back together and falling asleep as soon as their eyes were closed, and the scud waited to see that Dekang didn't have any instructions, and walked over to lean against each other and fell asleep.
For the next breakthrough action, Dekang even gave up the vigilance, only by fully recovering his physical strength, can he deal with the grim situation, if the crooked mouth, Scud and the little sand fox take turns to be on guard, God knows how much physical strength can be recovered, it is better to pass the current level first.
In addition to not being able to run, Baoyue was in good spirits, and once again volunteered to serve as a vigilance, Dekang felt that talking was better than nothing, and agreed.
Dekang and the three of them fell asleep there, and Baoyue nodded her toes and looked around and felt quite satisfied: she could stay with the second brother day and night, lying comfortably on the back of the second brother, she really couldn't think of such a day and night, but she didn't expect that it would be realized accidentally when she arrived at Wolf Mountain.
The only thing I am a little worried about at the moment is what to do if the injury is healed, the second brother will definitely not carry him day and night.
Can't think of any good way, Baoyue sighed and walked to Dekang's side and lay down next to him, the second brother's body temperature gave her a familiar and warm feeling, looking at Dekang's snoring, the corners of Baoyue's mouth smiled slightly.
Maybe there was something in his heart, Dekang woke up inexplicably from a deep sleep, he listened with his ears straight, and found that the surroundings were very quiet, not like there was danger approaching, so he got up lightly and wanted to run to the surrounding dirt slope to investigate, who knew that Baoyue, who was in a daze, woke up as soon as he moved.
Dekang hurriedly made a booing motion.
It's not easy for Crooked Mouth and Little Sand Fox to keep up with the rhythm, and Dekang wants the three of them to sleep a little longer to recuperate.
Baoyue got up and lay on Dekang's back, and the brother and sister came to the east dirt slope to look around, and felt that it was quite safe Dekang put Baoyue down and sat opposite her.
"Second brother. What are you? Seeing Dekang's serious expression, Baoyue asked a little worriedly.
"Baoyue. The situation may be more serious than what we see, and the second brother feels that the humans have laid a net to catch us. ”
"Why? These abominable human beings, the little cubs have not even been a little fat sheep in the wolf mountain, why do they still arrest us? Baoyue jumped up and grinned viciously.
"Don't get so excited, sit down and talk." Dekang glared at Baoyue.
Baoyue curled her mouth: "I get angry when I see human Baoyue." ”
"Not exactly. Dayong, the two humans there are not bad to you. ”
"Hmph... The character with the circles in his eyes dared to put Baoyue in the iron railing, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet. Baoyue said angrily.
"Huh. Didn't the second brother rescue you, how to say that he also saved your life, the second brother won't help you clean him up. ”
"Baoyue is just talking."
The brother and sister chatted for a long time, but Dekang just couldn't find the motive and reason for the humans to besiege the Dekang community, it stands to reason that their community did not provoke the humans in Wolf Mountain, and the humans in the prairie have also stopped chasing the wolf clan in many winters and summers.
In the face of another siege, Dekang has no bottom in his heart, so let's escape first and then take care of it.
Crooked Mouth, Scud, and Little Sand Fox slept until the moon hung high and didn't wake up.
The group that is in a tense situation together, whether it is a wolf, a jackal, a human, or a little mouse, has a common characteristic, that is, as long as one of the characters of the companions who are together during the rest wakes up, the rest of the guys will soon wake up inexplicably.
Dekang, who was on the dirt slope opposite, saw that there was movement here, so he ran back with Baoyue on his back.
"Lord. Princess Baoyue. Where do we go next? The little sand fox stepped forward and asked. When they woke up and saw that Dekang and Baoyue were not around, they knew that the lord's brother and sister must have gone out to talk about something.
"Continue west and see what is going on all the way to Hasha." Dekang said, pointing to the west.
"Yes. Lord. ”
There was no forward probing, no flank escort, and Dekang and his party hurried away again.
After running for a while, Dekang's neck fur stood up without warning, and he hurriedly stopped his pace in his heart, but he didn't expect to wake up Baoyue in a daze.
"Second brother...
"Shhhh There is a case. Dekang whispered.
Dekang waved his forelimbs, crooked mouths, fugitives and small sand foxes quietly spread out and lurked in a fan shape,
"Second brother. Is it a human being? Baoyue leaned into Dekang's ear and asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Baoyue is not afraid of humans, it is inconvenient for him to move, if he really encounters a situation like Dahara, the second brother will definitely not abandon himself and flee for his life, and the probability of the brother and sister being caught by humans will be greatly increased.
"I don't know, touch it and see how it goes."
Dekang ran down the dirt slope, ready to search along the bottom of the slope to the west, when the little sand fox on the side came up and asked in a low voice, "Lord." The situation is unclear, if you want to go over to investigate, if something is wrong, a small one will be warned. ”
Carrying Baoyue on his back was indeed incapacitated, Dekang nodded and agreed: "To the east." Be careful. ”
If there were humans and tracking dogs in front of him, the little sand fox could go up and confuse them for a while, covering Dekang and the crooked mouth and scud to escape as soon as possible, but he himself would definitely be surrounded by the tracking dogs.
Since the eastward journey, the little sand fox has the support of Dekang, and he has mixed well in the community, and he has eaten a lot of delicious food, and he is the only one among the members who dares to confront Baoyue in person; After Xiao Hara's accident last time, although Dekang didn't blame him, Xiao Shahu has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart, and he wants to prove his ability.
This opportunity came, the risk was half open in the eyes of the little sand fox, he had to take the risk to try it, otherwise it would be difficult to mix in the community, especially since Xiao Hara and Xiao Pond had returned.
The little sand fox's tentative method was different, and Dekang and Baoyue were dumbfounded.
I saw him rush up the dirt slope with a smoke, swaggering and humming a mountain song to the west, which is an investigation, but like a patrol in his own territory.
Dekang's eyes lit up: "I didn't look at it, Xiangdong's trick is clever." ”
"If there were humans and tracker dogs, wouldn't this be a death." Baoyue said angrily.
"Not necessarily, what would you do if you were ambushed in front of you with your men and saw a little sand fox swaggering over?" Dekang asked Baoyue with a smile.
Baoyue thought for a while and said: "Little Sand Fox's appearance, that means that there is no situation on the other side, of course, he appeared with his hands and surrounded him to tease him." ”
"Can't we just slip away without noticing?"
"That's right. I didn't expect Xiang Dong to have a long backbone this time. Baoyue looked in the direction of the little sand fox.
"It's hard to get mixed up if you don't show this guy anymore." Dekang was secretly amused.
Dekang swung his forelegs to the left, and the Scud ran lightly.
"Scud. You follow and stare at it from a distance, and if something is wrong, you will slip back, and you can't expose it. "The danger makes Dekang very cautious, and having scud to keep up with the surveillance can give Dekang more room to adapt.
"Yes. Lord. ”
