Chapter 2 Recipes for Escape

After moving Grandma to the deepest part of the cave and finding some rocks to cover it around, Dekang prepared to take Baoyue down the mountain to escape. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Considering that running with Baoyue may not have enough physical strength, Dekang decided to take the risk of walking from the east of the lake, that is, the road that carried his grandmother up the mountain just now, and then fled along the swampy area of the Haxia River to the side of Belik Lake.

Some sections of the descent are steep and full of cliffs, making it very dangerous for a little guy like Baoyue to walk alone.

Dekang carried Baoyue on his back, her forelimbs were too short to cover Dekang's neck, so he had to tell her to lie on her back and hold on to her ears.

Enduring the itching and stinging of his ears from time to time, Dekang walked slowly down the mountain; Baoyue's head was close to his neck, and from time to time he heard her sobbing, encountering this kind of shocking tragedy, not to mention a little wolf cub like Baoyue, even an adult wolf clan would be so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies.

Except for the whining and whining of the mountain wind blowing through the rock corners and crevices, the silence was terrifying.

At a corner, Dekang, who was in a trance, didn't notice the alluvial sand particles on the rock face, his front left limb didn't step on it and slipped out, and in an instant his butt fell upside down, and his body rolled a few times and was blocked by a rock, and he got up dizzily and looked at him, and Baoyue was gone.

"Baoyue. Baoyue. Dekang called anxiously.

"Whew... Below, there was a cry from Baoyue in front of the left.

Dekang's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly ran down to find her.

Baoyue fell into a gap in a large rock below, and was crying in a daze, trying to find her way. Dekang rushed forward and pulled her out: "Baoyue." Is there any pain in a fall? ”

Baoyue's snot and tears were pouring out: "Second brother hug." Baoyue's whole body hurts! ”

Dekang gently patted Baoyue's whole body from head to toe to see if there were any bones that were broken; Luckily, the chubby Baoyue only had a slight bruise on her forehead.

Dekang kissed Baoyue, carried her on his back and continued to descend the mountain.

Along the way, Dekang stopped from time to time to make scent marks: rubbing his body against small rocks, and urinating when he saw a huge rock.

Stumbling and finally reaching the bottom of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, on the side of the boulder, Dekang rubbed vigorously, and forced out the last of the urine, leaving a strong smell for the tracking dog to guide, and after finishing the work, he carried the treasure moon on his back, ran forward with his feet, and ran to the swamp near the Haxia River in one breath.

Gasping for breath and resting for a while, Dekang continued on his way, this time retracting his front paws and staggering like a small-footed old woman towards the eastern shore of Aqi Lake.

From now on, there will be no noticeable smell left for tracking dogs to search for.

It didn't take long for Dekang to start panting, it was too tiring to walk with his feet in restraint, Baoyue seemed to enjoy this kind of shaking, grasping Dekang's ears and swaying slightly.

Luckily, the seasonal stream is right in front of you. Stepping into the creek and putting Baoyue down, Dekang jumped into the middle of the stream, opened his mouth wide and drank wildly, the cool and sweet snow mountain stream water poured into his throat, and the fatigue and troubles of the whole day seemed to be dispelled.

When he finished drinking the water and looked back at Baoyue, he was surprised to find that she had retreated to the shore, staring at Dekang helplessly, and flicking her soaked tail from time to time.

This little guy has never seen water for the first time he went down the mountain, and he looks a little scared.

Dekang ran over and stroked her little head: "Baoyue." Drink water with the second brother, you won't be thirsty after drinking water, and you will have the strength to hurry. ”

Baoyue looked at him pitifully: "Second brother hug." Baoyue was afraid. ”

picked up Baoyue and walked into the water, she grabbed Dekang's ears tightly and refused to go into the water, he could only make an exaggerated appearance of drinking water sideways to teach her.

Once... Twice... Three times.

But Baoyue clung tighter, and Dekang's ears ached faintly.

I had no choice but to send her to the other side first.

Then Dekang ran back to the place where Baoyue had just stood, and pulled all the sand that had left the smell of the two of them into the water; Facing the stream again, squat down and sweep away the traces little by little with your tail.

When Dekang raised his head after drying, he was surprised to find that Baoyue was squatting on the shore, carefully sticking out his head, his mouth slowly approaching the water, his small mouth suddenly opened and stretched out his tongue to lick the stream, and then his whole body immediately retracted.

After only hesitating for a while, Baoyue began to lick the water again... Until he stretched out his head and soaked his whole little mouth in the water.

But she never dared to go into the water, her forelimbs were desperately propped up on the shore, feeling that Dekang was looking at her, Baoyue raised her head and grinned at him, saliva mixed with stream water dripping onto the water, making small water circles.

After drinking enough water, he waded through two more streams, and Dekang carried Baoyue on his back and stepped on the shallow water by the creek to run east; They had to avoid the wide water at the mouth of the river, where it was dangerous to swim with Baoyue.

I ran forward a thousand steps, looking for a shallow surface of the river to prepare to cross the river. Baoyue looked nervous, her body clinging to Dekang's back, and she looked at the wide water with some fear.

Dekang turned his head to her and said, "Baoyue is not afraid. The water here looks wide, but it is actually very shallow, and the second brother carries you over; Cross the river to find you something to eat. ”

Baoyue smiled reluctantly: "Hungry and hungry." Baoyue wants to eat a lot of delicious food. ”

"Definitely feed your little belly. But the water here is not drinkable, it is salty, bitter and astringent. Dekang began to teach Baoyue a little survival knowledge.

"Didn't we drink water just now, why can't we drink the water here?" Baoyue asked curiously.

Dekang turned around and pointed to the stream in the distance and said, "The stream that I drank just now is the snow water that flows down from the mountain, it is cool and sweet; The water of this river flows from the lake of Achi, and the great lake of Altyn is salty and bitter.

Baoyue nodded as if she didn't understand.

On either side of the river bank are wide swampy areas, and there are some dark pits that you can never get out of if you step into them.

Dekang stretched his neck to examine it carefully for a while, picked a route to cross the river, told Baoyue to grasp his ears, clinging to him, and rushed over with his head down.

Baoyue was light and ran safely all the way to the other side.

Before he reached the riverbank, his footsteps had not stopped, and in front of a small bush of grass and grass, Dekang's right forelimb suddenly sank into the mud.

There was no time to think at all, it was almost an instinctive reaction.

Dekang's hind limbs kicked hard, and his whole body turned his butt upwards again, and his side back fell heavily on the small grass mound, and the moon god blessed that the small grass mounds did not sink.

Dekang quickly glanced around, and Baoyue fell on the sandy ground a few steps away. Dekang propped up his left forelimb and pulled it out with all his might, and the fur wrapped in black silt gave off an unpleasant rancid smell.

Unable to pick up Baoyue, Dekang ran into the river to wash the fur, and it took a lot of effort to wash it, but it still smelled a little unpleasant.

Baoyue got up on her own and looked at Dekang in a daze, a little unsure of what was going on.

As the sky gradually brightened, Dekang and Baoyue began to look for wild duck eggs and bird eggs in a large swampy area in the west of the river near the east of the lake.

There are very few eggs in this season, and the meadow is full of the smell of birds, so finding eggs is a delicate task.

Dekang pulled a small grass mound and a small grass mound to find it, and Baoyue followed Dekang stupidly, and she would run forward to sniff every small grass mound that Dekang turned over, or pick and pull it around.

They searched aimlessly from east to west, until the foot of Karachoka Mountain, a total of two nests of sand eggs were found, and they were wiped out by Baoyue in the blink of an eye, in order to replenish some physical strength, Dekang swallowed her leftover eggshells into his stomach, I don't know if it was because of the excessive physical energy consumption of this day or really hungry, Dekang felt some cramps in his stomach.

Lying down beside a small grass mound at the foot of the mountain in frustration, Dekang used his brain to try to solve the dilemma in front of him, but Baoyue recuperated all the way on his back, and now he got some energy replenishment, and began to spin around in front of and behind Dekang, licking and arching.

At this time, Dekang really didn't have the heart to play with her.

Suddenly, Dekang's ears caught a small rustling sound, and he quickly moved to the nearby meadow and lay down, while pressing Baoyue beside him.

Seeing Dekang's nervous look, Baoyue lay on her stomach obediently, silently and motionlessly.

Dekang slowly poked his head out, and saw a fat prairie rat not far from the right front probing his brain at the entrance of the cave, looking around vigilantly, two small round eyes kept turning, after a while he drilled out of the hole, pretending to walk a few times around the entrance of the cave, and then twisted his head to look left and right, feeling that there was no danger around, and ran towards the stream like a smoke.

Dekang's hind limbs rushed out violently, taking the largest and fastest steps, and using all his strength to pounce on the little mouse.

The little mouse, who was trotting, heard the movement behind him, turned his head in confusion, and in an instant his eyes were about to burst out, his face was full of horror, and he let out a sharp scream: "Squeak。。。。。。 At the same time, the hair foot rushed towards the right slope.

Dekang's speed had skyrocketed, and it was easy to catch up with the little mouse in a few leaps.

During the run, Dekang grabbed the prairie rat's back with his right front paw and threw him into the air, followed by a sideways fish leaping up and biting the falling prairie rat in mid-air.

Blood flowed down his teeth to his throat, making Dekang feel powerful and omnipotent.

The poor little mouse was kicking and screaming on all fours. A few of Dekang's front teeth solved his pain with a slight force.

Baoyue opened her little mouth, her tongue shook mischievously, and she also jumped up and ran forward with her little tail wagging from time to time, looking at Dekang with adoration on her face: "Wow." The second brother is so powerful. Baoyue wants to eat, second brother... ”

As a result, Baoyue swallowed the fat little mouse, leaving only the head, limbs, tail, and a little broken bone.

It's better than nothing, the rest of Dekang is all-inclusive, and of course there is still no warmth in the stomach.

The success of catching the rat made them both feel good, and Dekang and Baoyue hugged each other and smiled happily, sweeping away the mildew on their sad faces.

Dekang knew that with his current skills, it would not be easy to catch prey the size of a rock sheep or antelope alone, and that would require a hone and a little luck, as for wild horses, wild asses, wild yaks, etc., don't even think about it.

But there were many little mice and hares Alkin.

From Aqi Lake to Alkashan, to Aya Lake, to Kardun Meadow, there are a lot of rat holes everywhere, especially Kardun Meadow.

When Ah Da and Ah Ma were there, even in the harshest winter, the food at home was very sufficient, and everyone disdained the obscene little mice.

Sometimes, even if an unlucky guy bumps under their paws, it just teases and kills, and it doesn't even bother to eat it.

These nasty little mice, who don't know where they came from, gnawed at the roots of the grass, gnawing at the lush grass to the point of dying, causing the fat little gazelles to have scarce food. Alas! The thought of the little antelope drooled. ’

Starting today, I will remove these pests from the earth and the prairie.

Of course, they can continue to run for their lives and survive if they can catch a fat hare by the way... Hey, hey, hey...

It is estimated that there are many guys nearby who saw the sad scene just now, and the rats here must be frightened, and they will probably wait for a long time before coming out. Dekang and Baoyue walked lightly to the east a few hundred paces, and then lurked behind a clump of grass, Dekang closed his eyes and listened intently.

These little rats are timid and cunning, and the slightest movement will make them hide in the cave for a long time, and when they come out of the hole, they often probe around, and they will only leave the cave after repeated temptations, but fortunately, there are many of them, and there are always characters who are too bold to hold back.

Another fat prairie rat appeared at the mouth of the hole, and he poked his head out and looked around, and then the strange scene appeared: he crawled out slowly, took a few steps to the east, and suddenly his whole body was erect, his forelimbs were wide open, he yawned, and his mouth whined with satisfaction.

The moment Dekang pounced, he could clearly see the little mouse's whiskers shaking with a yawn, and when he pounced on the daring fellow, the little mouse only turned his head in confusion, and his forelimbs had just touched the ground.

Dekang was also a little surprised by his speed and strength.

Perhaps only when you are struggling to survive will you burst out with mysterious abilities.

Baoyue didn't grab food with Dekang this time, and her little belly was almost full; In front of Baoyue, Dekang swallowed this unlucky egg in two or three strokes.

They ran southeast along the swamp and along the mountain, and ambushed them several times along the way, with good results, only two failures.

Dekang took Baoyue to climb a high ground and look north, trying to find something, but the distance was too far to see or smell anything.

Dekang didn't dare to take Baoyue to find Ah Da and them.

In the unlikely event that a cunning human has an ambush at the place of the incident, the chances of Hotsuki escaping are zero. But it will not be a few days and nights before the snow will begin to fall, and if you don't investigate now, you won't see them again.

Dekang is very ambivalent.

As soon as he thought of this tragedy, Dekang's head became a mess.

Looking back at Baoyue, who was lying behind him obediently, thinking of Grandma's entrustment, Dekang patted his head vigorously, and seemed to be a little enlightened: "Live with Baoyue!" ’

Walk slowly all the way to the southeast of Kalashan in Karaqiao, and it is almost dusk. Mountains, sands, swamps, and rivers are crowded together here, and sea buckthorn, hetou grass, artemisia grass, and purple needle grass are arranged in order, or cross them, which is regarded as a small grassland next to Aqi Lake.

Dekang decided to rest here for a while, get some sleep and recuperate before running.

Mainly to take care of Baoyue, she must have a healthy body to meet the coming of winter, and constantly running for her life will drag down her physical strength, and the emaciated little wolf cub can't survive the harsh winter of Algin.

Also, it would be great if you could ambush some prey here.

Looking around, Dekang found a large leeward rock crevice and Baoyue more than a hundred steps above the foot of the mountain to settle down.

The night in Altyn at the end of summer and autumn was quite chilly, although Baoyue was still able to resist, but Dekang didn't dare to be careless, rolled up against the rock wall, hugged Baoyue in his arms, and surrounded her with his big tail, and soon fell asleep...

When I woke up, it was the middle of the night, and there was no movement around, only the cold moonlight shining on the gray rocks, emitting a pale silver reflection.

Baoyue is still asleep, her body is clumped, her small mouth is open a little, and she is in the autumn. . . Huqiu... The snoring was the most beautiful piece of music Dekang had ever heard this night.

After a while, Dekang condensed his gaze from the crack in the rock towards the swamp and the river valley, there was no larger character moving, he moved a little, and looked out from a different angle, but still did not see any prey that could be pounced.

Maybe it was the aura that Dekang exuded when he searched that stimulated Baoyue, I don't know when she woke up, Dekang looked at it for a while and retracted his eyes when he found that Baoyue was staring at him with his head up.

Dekang loosened the muscles on his face with a puff out of his mouth, and smiled at Baoyue as much as he could: "Baoyue." The second brother wants to go down to check the situation, catch a prey by the way, you lie here, never run out, and shout loudly to the second brother if there is a situation. ”

Baoyue nodded sensibly: "Second brother wants to catch delicious food." Baoyue waited for the second brother to come back. ”

Dekang kissed Baoyue, touched her little head, turned sideways and ran down the mountain, and after a while, he reached the edge of the sand.

At the foot of the mountain, next to a rock, Dekang squatted down and listened intently to the movement of the surrounding sand, and listened for a long time, but found nothing.

He walked on, turning a high sand dune, and Dekang listened again: the occasional cooing came from the mountain wind... Coo-goo... Coo-cooing. There's movement. Dekang pressed the thumping heartbeat and walked towards the north against the wind.

After walking about 300 steps, the cooing of sand chickens from time to time clearly came into my ears, a group of sand pheasants!

Dekang's heart began to beat wildly, he resisted the urge to pounce, and inhaled in a slender way... Then inhale in a slender way, this is the way Ah Da called him, which can calm himself quickly.

Then Dekang walked forward and slowly bent down, carefully identifying the specific position of the sandgrouse: both ears listened successively, and then listened at the same time to determine the direction, in front of the right.

Looking up, there was nothing on the sand except for scattered grass mounds, or nothing to be seen. Dekang was a little puzzled: wild ducks, sand grouse, geese and other prey would move their wings from time to time when they slept, and even the slightest flapping could not escape their eyes.

But there was really no movement in sight.

Since the beginning of being sensible, Ah Da and Ah Ma have said some things about treacherous and cunning humans in front of them from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, and various traps set by humans have been passed down from generation to generation in the wolf clan.

It's a bit weird. Heaven or Hell?

???

Dekang didn't want to give up the delicious taste that was fast to the edge easily.

Lie on the sand and remain motionless, retract your eyes, and concentrate on it.

Waited until the limbs were numb, and there was no other movement.

Only when you are full can you live with Baoyue.

Take the plunge.
