Chapter 22: Discovery
After a line of sky, the eyes suddenly opened up, the clouds were dense, the light rain continued, covering this primitive world with a layer of magical color, and the deep blue lake in front of me was like a giant ancient mirror, quietly embedded on the surface, the reflection of the mountains and forests, like a fairyland.
"Yuan'er, this place is so big, we may not find it for a day, even if we find it, we can't beat the two of us, you can think about it, the wild man is very fierce!" Zhang Erhe didn't doubt Liu Yuan's ability, but this time it was different from when he was in the underground tower, no matter how mysterious the underground tower was, it would be dead after all, but this wild man was a living life.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, since I dare to do it, I must be sure, if we don't help them, it won't be long before their bodies will appear in the museum."
Zhang Erhe thought about it, it was also the case, although the periphery of Shennongjia was primitive, it was not that no one had set foot on it, just like the two of them, it didn't take much effort to enter the deep mountains, not to mention some people with ulterior motives.
Mountains and mountains, water and water, coming here, Liu Yuan has not been happy.
"Uncle Zhang, do you think it's too quiet in this mountain?" On the edge of the small lake, Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, looked back at Zhang Erhe, and said.
"Is there one? Look at those monkeys, running so happily, I think it's very noisy here. "The sound of birdsong around is sparse, even on a rainy day, it is very cheerful.
Liu Yuan sighed after hearing this, glanced around, and said, "Uncle Zhang, you didn't understand what I meant, do you remember what you were most worried about when we first came here?" ”
"Nonsense, of course it's the beast here, have you forgotten the big black bear?"
"But except for that bear, it seems that no other large beasts have been encountered, even if it is the climate in this area, it is a little unreasonable, you have also seen, the bear we saw is not as brutal and ferocious as imagined, but much milder, and it has been here for more than ten days, except for wild boars, no aggressive beasts have been encountered, what do you say is the reason?"
Zhang Erhe was confused, listening to Liu Yuan's meaning, as if this place should have been very dangerous, thought for a while, and said, "Do you mean that this place has been artificially destroyed?" ”
Thinking about it again, it is unlikely, "Yuan'er, this doesn't make sense, the country is now protecting this kind of primeval jungle tightly, how can it destroy the ecological environment here on such a large scale, besides, we can come to the surrounding mountains and forests, and other people can naturally do it, but if we say that the fierce beasts here are destroyed, it is still a little impossible." ”
"Uncle Zhang, I didn't say that I was killed, I mean that a long time ago, this place was cleared!" Liu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, with a deep meaning.
"Qingshan?" Zhang Erhe was taken aback, the word Qingshan is still very deterrent, when the devil entered the village to implement the "three lights" policy, in fact, the meaning is the same thing as Qingshan, but a Qingcun, a Qingshan.
"Damn, who has such courage?" Zhang Erhe was obviously shocked by Liu Yuan's words.
"I'm just guessing right now, but we'll find out soon." Liu Yuan said mysteriously, but this statement made Zhang Erhe worried.
Passing by the lake, the two did not stop more, but walked along the lake to the deep mountains, there are many rocks, poisonous insects have also reached the season of rage, the two have some scars on their bodies, and even their clothes look a little messy.
"Uncle Zhang, I feel like we're in the wrong place." After walking slowly and rapidly for more than three hours, Liu Yuan's face was bitter, and he turned around and smirked at Zhang Erhe.
"Yuan'er, are you kidding me?" Hearing Liu Yuan's irresponsible words, Zhang Erhe was also helpless.
"Haha, Uncle Zhang, it's a mistake! One thing I missed was that the dark shadow I had met on the first day had obviously gone fishing in the stream, and I almost forgot that his harpoon was still in our hands. ”
Zhang Erhe looked much smarter this time, glared at Liu Yuan, sighed, and said, "Why did we forget such an important matter?" There is so much water upstream, but he went to our place to fish, and you said that we have been walking along the river for so long, and our brains are convulsive, oops. ”
"Shall we go back then?" Liu Yuan made a rare mistake, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"What can I do if I don't go back?" Zhang Erhe didn't have a good airway.
The joy of the morning was completely gone, and they returned to the cave, and they were physically and mentally exhausted.
"Hey, I'm tired, Yuan'er, I'll go to the river to wash, you hurry up and get something to eat." As soon as he came back, Zhang Erhe couldn't wait to take off his clothes, and he didn't feel too cold in April.
Waiting for Zhang Erhe to go out, it was difficult for Liu Yuan to maintain his calm appearance.
In fact, the reason why Liu Yuan chose to return was not because he went wrong, when he walked up along the lake, Liu Yuan noticed that something was wrong, before he quietly used the ancient art to investigate, there are indeed traces of life in the upstream, and the activities are frequent, the ancient art is mainly in a change of words, the mountains are the same, the rivers are also general, but when he got closer, he found that the traces of the activities of the previous investigation were not the wild people that existed here, and the sound wave detection was very different from the normal sound of the mountains, And in the upper mountains and forests, he found a metal place, and it was not one, although it was accompanied by branches and weeds, it was difficult to see, but he Liu Yuan was also a person, and immediately noticed something unusual, in the upper reaches of the river, it had been encroached upon by people from the outside world.
What is the reason for them to go deep into the primeval jungle and explore? What's more, this is only the edge of Shennongjia, even if someone goes deep into a protected jungle, it is nothing more than the outside mountain people who come here to pick, there is only one explanation for such a scale, the outside world has long rumored that the Shennongjia savage incident is a lie, and the research personnel are very rare, but today it seems that this is the biggest lie, this Shennongjia forest area has always been investigated here, and it is carried out in secret.
His discovery can't tell Zhang Erhe, he originally thought that the wild man would not attract much attention, but he was wrong, wrong and outrageous, he ignored the greed of human nature, the wild man does exist, he knows, and there must be people in the outside world who know!
"No, I need to find them quickly!" Liu Yuan couldn't calm down in his heart, walked outside the cave, looked at Zhang Erhe, and thought about it, he still had to tell him about it.
"Uncle Zhang, there's something I've thought about and I still have to let you know."
Walking to the river, Liu Yuan sat on the sand and gravel, the ground was wet, and his pants were half soaked in an instant.
Zhang Erhe was washing happily, hungry in his stomach, and he didn't wait for food, but Liu Yuan's sudden seriousness made him dazed for a while.
"What's the matter, Yuan'er, why do I think you're a little weird."
"Uncle Zhang, in fact, we didn't go the wrong way this morning, but we can't go any further." Liu Yuan said calmly, feeling a little depressed for a while.
"Huh? That's right, it shouldn't be. "Zhang Erhe was originally a rare cleverness, since it was determined that the wild people he met on the first day, then they should live among the nearby mountains, but listening to Liu Yuan's words, there seems to be some hidden feelings.
"This morning I found a lot of reconnaissance equipment in the upper reaches of the stream, although it is hidden, but it is difficult to change the fact that a large area of mountains and forests is being monitored, if we go further, maybe we will meet that group."
"What! Aren't those people savages? ”
Liu Yuan didn't know how to explain, and said with a deep sigh: "I did make a mistake in the morning, and regarded those people as the objects we are looking for, Uncle Zhang, the original inhabitants here are very dangerous now, we must help them!" ”
"What do you need from me, just say, Yuan'er, who is your Uncle Zhang, don't you know yet? Those bitches don't even let go of the things in the primeval jungle, do you really want to kill them all! ”
Zhang Erhe is also a bloody man, he has been with Liu Yuan for a long time, and it seems that his values are also changing.
Liu Yuan didn't expect Zhang Erhe to say so decisively, his heart was sweet, and he said, "Okay, Uncle Zhang, as soon as this matter is over, let's leave here!" ”
With Zhang Erhe's support, Liu Yuan was also heroic, and the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling quite sympathetic to each other.
