128. Discussion yields no results

After Bai Huang revealed this hand, the few women who kept screaming, as if they were surrounded by thousands of bad wolves, immediately stopped screaming.

More conscious than the party members in the fifties who paid party dues, they were busy and leaned on Bai Huang's side.

After the rest of the people picked up the fallen retina, they also stared at Bai Huang firmly with the eyes of the Martians, such as "This thing is not a human", "It's too unscientific", "The master is above, please bow to the apprentice" and so on, flying over unabashedly, with various expressions.

"Xiaobai, it's really yours!" Kang Ershu grabbed Bai Huang's arm, like a cannibal chief twisting fat and picking up thinness, and pinched his hand: "This is almost as powerful as the Nine Sons Deer Bullet." ”

Hey, when I was in a hurry just now, I seemed to have behaved a little too much?

Bai Huang shook off this guy quietly, and rolled his eyes with a dry smile: "Nonsense, if you also have a brutal master who has been forced to practice Flying Stone Kung Fu since childhood, you can be like me now." ”

"Could it be that this is the legendary Flying Locust Stone?" Kang Ershu was excited, and the people next to him also pricked up their ears.

"yes, do you want to learn? If you want to learn from me to help you introduce, my master is very talkative, just buy him a few bottles of wine! Bai Huang quietly changed the subject.

More than 200 kilometers away, Lao Zhangtou sneezed without warning.

Among these people, the others are envious, but they are not familiar with Bai Huang, so they can only prick up their ears to listen. Only Kang Ershu dared to lean beside Bai Huang with a straight face: "Then this kung fu is easy to learn, isn't it?" If you still have to spend time practicing, it's not much fun. Like this just now, you're going to give me five...... No, ten hounds, and one more firegun, I can kill it by myself even if it's a mountain spirit! ”

Bai Huang nodded again and again, smiling more than a quail: "That's that, ten dogs alone, and they can kill that monster." ”

"......" Kang Ershu was instantly knocked down by this fatal blow, and he gritted his teeth and was speechless.

……

After more than ten minutes, the team finally climbed the mountain and arrived at the predetermined farmer's home.

Twenty or thirty meters away from the half-man-high firewood gate, the barking of the dog exploded in the mountains, and then there was a creak, and a lean peasant man came out of the house.

In the sparsely populated mountains, suddenly seeing so many people, the male owner was a little unresponsive for a while, and after being stunned for a moment, he patted his head and hurriedly stepped forward: "Alas, you are experts introduced by Zhengfu, please please!" I thought it was so late that you might not arrive until tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, he kicked his dog twice, and quickly stepped forward to open the firewood door.

The team rushed in, and when Bai Huang finally came in, the man was stunned again, and Ah Kun, who was staring at his feet, couldn't help but open his mouth: "This...... This one...... Is this a yellow cub? ”

Guoshanhuang is the common name of the mountain people in eastern Sichuan and western Hubei for a mysterious giant tiger, and the outside world has always scoffed at this statement, while the other part believes that Guoshanhuang is a unique tiger subspecies of Shennongjia.

Although there has been a lot of debate in the scientific research community, it does not affect this mysterious beast, which is passed on by word of mouth in the mouths of the people in the forest area.

So when I suddenly saw Ah Kun, a man who had seen a lot of rare birds and beasts, I couldn't help but be a little excited and surprised.

"Uh, no, no, no, it's not that." Bai Huang is a mountain baby, and he likes to listen to this kind of folk anecdotes, of course he knows what Guo Shanhuang is, and he waved his hand again and again with some tears and laughter: "Big brother, you are wrong, I am a golden cat, which is the mountain biao you are talking about here." ”

"Shan Biao?" The man blinked suspiciously, and after carefully looking at the dim fire leaking out of the room, he smiled innocently: "Hey, it's really a mountain biaozi!" But what I've seen before are all sesame leopards with flowers, and I haven't seen this before. ”

At this time, several of his dogs also came over, squeezing out a low howl of "roar" from their throats, as if the street gangsters had seen the black boss who was not in line with them.

The man hurriedly kicked his dog a few more times, and after scolding his dog away, he looked at Bai Huang with envy.

Why this young offspring brought a mountain biaozi, he didn't know. He only thinks that this cat is fat and Sammo Hung in Hong Kong films, it is simply Lu Bu among cats, and then look at his own local dogs, there is no difference between the two and Rwandan refugees.

It's a pity that no matter how good things are, they are also people's.

The group entered the courtyard, but it did not look crowded at all - this house built on the mountainside was more than 20 meters wide in the middle, and there was a wing room on the left and right. The sundeck surrounded by three houses is bigger than a basketball court, not to mention that it is only 20 people, even if it is doubled, it can be placed here.

The female team members carried hot water to take a bath, but the men were invited to the house by the man and set up a dragon gate array.

"Oh, wild boar, that guy is definitely a super big family, and he can give birth to a litter of cubs in a year without a sound. In the past two years, I have often come out of the mountains, and in the entire forest area, I can't find a few households that have not been harmed by it! ”

instructed his woman to prepare for food, and the mountain man surnamed Yu let everyone to the fire: "But don't worry, this thing is actually very scary, as long as it is not cornered, there will basically be no danger!" ”

Seeing him say this, he almost patted his chest and swore an oath, and another girl in the scientific expedition team was curious: "What about the injured wild boar, doesn't it mean that the injured wild boar will take the initiative to attack people?" ”

Boss Yu waved his hand disappreciatively: "I'm afraid of people when I'm injured, and I usually hide in the mountains." At most, when drinking water, when someone enters the mountain, they will take the initiative to attack. As long as he has a gun, he doesn't have to be afraid of any wild boar. ”

Hearing him say this, the three women in the team breathed a sigh of relief.

This time they came to Shennongjia to investigate, because of the problem of choosing the route, so before leaving, they specially applied for three shotguns from the provincial forest public security, since the guns can effectively ensure safety, there is nothing to worry about.

While Boss Yu was turning over the pond fire, Kang Ershu took out a box of cigarettes that Bai Huang had never seen and handed over one: "Brother Yu, apart from wild boars, are there any dangerous creatures in the forest?" ”

"Something dangerous? That's a lot, generally speaking, jackals, tigers and leopards don't have anything to be afraid of, people who don't know outside say anything about one pig, two bears and three tigers, in fact, the bears in Shennongjia have nothing to be afraid of, especially white bears, which don't hurt people at all. As for Lao Bazi, I haven't seen it all these years anyway. The peasant man took the cigarette and lit it in the fire, and Mei Zizi took a puff before explaining with a smile.

"It's some poisonous mosquitoes, poisonous ants, and poisonous snakes, you have to pay more attention, those things are much more powerful than the big things in the mountains!"

Boss Yu's words are all from experience, but it is obvious that few people listen to these words.

After a group of people looked at each other a few times, Song Yanting said very tactfully: "That, Xiaoyu, except for those wild boars and black bears you said, there are really no other dangerous animals?" ”

Although some didn't understand why these experts were so entangled with the beasts, the man in the mountain still shook his head with certainty: "No, I have to go into the mountains to hunt every year, and I have been there for more than ten days, and I haven't seen anything great!" This Shennongjia is the most powerful, the wild boar is counted as one, and there is the mountain leopard, I really can't think of anything else. ”

Well?

The more sure Boss Yu was, the more worried the people of the scientific expedition team became, like a suspicious weasel, with a nervous and ugly face.

So Song Yanting carefully described what had just happened, and interspersed with the additions and affirmations of many team members, especially emphasizing that even if it was the golden cat Ah Kun, when he faced the black shadow, he was still stiff with his back hair.

"Huh?" Boss Yu didn't believe it at first, and felt that although these experts were knowledgeable, one of them was a hundred, but when it came to the experience in the mountains, a hundred of them couldn't beat one of themselves.

After listening to everyone's gossip, he touched the back of his head and analyzed it one by one: "This Shanbiao...... Oh, although the golden cat is also powerful, but when it encounters a mountain leopard, it must be fried, which is not surprising. Both of these animals generally do not fight, because the golden cat will actively avoid it. Like you just said, I guess it's a leopard! ”

There is some truth in this, although they are all feline beasts, but the combat effectiveness of the golden cat is definitely like the difference between a primary school student and a junior high school gangster compared to the South China leopard.

"Not necessarily, right?" Kang Ershu tirelessly came up and said that he had different opinions: "Ah Kun dares to go up when he sees a wild boar!" How can ordinary golden cats be so fierce? ”

If it were placed in normal times, Bai Huang would definitely show his modesty, and come to a sour and rotten bookbag with two sentences such as "Mr. is falsely praised, and he is ashamed to be", but at the moment, it is related to the safety of entering the mountain, so he cannot be allowed to hide the facts.

After touching the door of Ah Kun's brain, the druid smiled bitterly: "Brother Yu, this cat of mine, it is not afraid of leopards." ”

"What?" Boss Yu spat out a smoke ring and plucked out his ears again.

He felt that he must have heard it wrong, and if the person who said this was his fellow countryman, he would definitely be heckled at this time.

"I said that my cat is not afraid of leopards, it has been specially trained."

Bai Huang didn't feel that he was talking nonsense, more than three months of washing by the power of nature had allowed Ah Kun to completely cross the boundaries of the species. Now don't say it's a leopard, even if it's a tiger, it won't necessarily be able to scare the big cat.

But the more powerful this guy is, the more uneasy Bai Huang's heart becomes-what kind of terrifying thing should it be to be able to bluff a monster cat who doesn't even care about a tiger and make his back hair stand on end as if he was facing a great enemy?

"Trained? Can Shan Biaozi still train, this guy is very wild, and it's not easy to tame, right? Boss Yu subconsciously retorted, but in the speechless eyes of everyone, he immediately reacted that he was stupid.

This question is too off-topic.

"Have you seen what that thing looks like?"

"I didn't see it clearly, the guy was moving too fast, jumping from one tree to another, four or five meters apart, and it just jumped over! But I look at the size, it doesn't look like a South China leopard, the leopard is not that big! "It was a researcher from the Chutian Branch of the Institute of Forestry who spoke, and it seemed that his eyesight was as indestructible as titanium alloy armor.

"How big?" This time, not only Boss Yu looked over, but even the rest of the team stared at him, and some people whispered something like "You saw it, why didn't you make it clear earlier".

"I said it earlier, aren't you the only ones who are more panicked?" The man pursed his lips and said a word, and then gestured with his hands: "It's about this long, two meters five to three meters!" ”

"Shh

Everyone immediately exploded, that thing really has to be three meters, isn't it bigger than a tiger? Even if the big guys are scared, you don't have to exaggerate it.

Only Bai Huang didn't speak, because his dynamic vision far exceeded that of ordinary people, and his general feeling for the black shadow was also about two meters seven or eight. In other words, the team's estimate is not an exaggeration at all.

Of course, the tail has to be added.

There was also one person who didn't make a fuss, and after listening to the description of this team member, Boss Yu instead frowned and pondered with a cigarette.

"This thing you came across ......"

The expression of the man in the mountain became rare and solemn, and there was a trace of nervousness in his doubts: "It shouldn't be a donkey head worm, right?" Last month, Lao Zhang, who was on the mountain next to him, also said that his cow cub was taken away, and it was a guy of more than 400 catties, and he was dragged from the cattle pen to the back of the mountain beam, and dragged for more than three miles! ”

"Donkey head worms? What the hell is this, it sounds funny! Someone was immediately curious, and moved forward with great interest.

But there are also those who know this folk title, and they are the first to be suspicious: "No, Brother Yu, this thing is just a rumor, how can it really exist?" ”

Then he turned around and explained to his companion: "The donkey head insect called here is also commonly called the donkey-headed wolf, which is a saying that has existed in mountainous areas all over the country for a long time......

After he finished popularizing science, most people said they didn't believe it, and only a few were skeptical.

"Well, no one has ever seen this thing with their own eyes, so I can't tell why." Seeing that the topic was getting more and more deviated, and there was gradually a tendency to transform from scientific discussion to ghost theory, Song Yanting hurriedly stopped and poured cold water on a group of people who were chatting about it: "Anyway, Xiaoye and Xiaotang of Sanbei also brought equipment over, maybe when the investigation is completed, you can find that kind of monster in the video." ”

By the way, these two people from the Sanbei cat family......

Bai Huang was still thinking about the authenticity of the legendary cunning and cruel donkey-headed wolf, but Song Yanting's words caused him to turn his attention in another direction.

"That, Brother Ye, I saw it on the Internet, aren't you Sanbei generally inspecting around Jinzhong and Yanshan? Why did this assault come to Shennongjia? ”

"Oh, in the past two years, the Internet has become popular, and there are more and more people who care about wild big cats, so after a meeting with several responsible persons, I feel that it is too narrow to focus on the part of Jin Province. And recently, it was reported by volunteers that the whereabouts of tigers had been found near Baokang. No, it's because of this that we came here, and after following Song Lao to inspect Shennongjia, we will act alone and go in the direction of Baokang. ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Ye had already explained clearly and reasonably, but Bai Huang still asked with an ignorant face: "In this way, how do you usually investigate?" I also like big cats, and I'm interested in hearing you talk about it. ”

In fact, except for Bai Huang, these people here have not heard Boss Yu talk about his hunting experience as they are interested in scientific research, but Bai Huang is in front of him, and it is difficult for others to interrupt him.

Another Xiaotang took over the conversation: "The main thing is a preliminary investigation to understand the ecological environment of an area and whether it is suitable for big cats to live." Then, according to the environmental data, the operation is carried out on the map, the area to be investigated is gridded, and infrared automatic camera traps are set on the connecting roads of each grid to come in for observation within a period of time. ”

"So, is there a lot of information that you have captured?" Bai Huang had a ghost in his heart, and knocked on the side without a trace.

"It's okay, because the camera is mainly installed in the place where the big cat hangs its paws, so the first-hand information obtained is relatively rich."

"Hanging claws?" This time it was not Bai Huang, but Kang Ershu, who had already entered the state of the audience, took the initiative to interject.

"Hehe, that's right, but all felines basically have the habit of sharpening their claws. It's like dogs like to pee everywhere, it's a means to demarcate territory. For example, tigers like to hang their claws on tree trunks at the edge of their territory, while snow leopards on the Tibetan edge hang their claws on rocks. ”

After an easy-to-understand explanation, Kang Ershu nodded again and again, and felt that this time he begged Bai Huang to intercede, and it was really worth the trip.

And Bai Huang's suspicions, after Xiao Tang popularized science, also alleviated a lot.

No one was aware of Bai Huang's suspicions, and only thought that he was just interested - otherwise, how could this person have a golden cat?

After a while, the hostess of the Yu family also cooked dinner, and a large pot of steaming pot of running mountain pig potato slice soup was divided into three hanging pots and placed on the edge of the fire pit: "I'm really sorry, I thought you would arrive tomorrow, and you didn't prepare any good dishes." ”

Most Chinese will say this when they receive people, and the mountain people are the most simple group.

Obviously, it is more than half a month of meat for two people, and all of them are in the pot, but they are worried that they are not polite.

It's just that their worries are obviously unnecessary, and this hot pot feast full of mountain atmosphere almost made a group of people swallow their tongues, and their throats are like clogged sewers, full of free-range pork and alpine artichokes. It stands to reason that everyone has eaten pork ribs and stewed potatoes, but they have never eaten such a delicious taste.

The ones that eat a little better, that is, Song Yanting and Bai Huang, the former is full of poetry and books, and the latter is because he has seen too much of this original ecological food.

Although Nanmuao is only a small mountain village, the products raised by the water and soil on that side are no worse than those in the mountains of Shennongjia.

After a hot dinner, the hostess arranged for everyone to sleep in the Chase bunk on the second floor, while the three women went to the guest rooms on the first floor.

When he arrived in the mountains, Bai Huang was like returning to the resting place of his soul, and the whole person was truly calm. But the more this happened, the more he couldn't sleep, and the sixth sense from the child of nature told him that this trip might not be what he expected.

While the others were tidying up, he came to the yard alone.

The night in the mountains is quiet, and every sound of insects and birds adds to the silence. Standing in the middle of the courtyard, you can see the moon on the tall mountain on the opposite side, as if it were within reach.

A burst of tobacco smell wafted in, blending into the cool air, and Kang Ershu leaned over: "What are you doing running down alone?" Pretend to be a poet! ”

Bai Huang's good mood was destroyed in an instant, and he carried his hammock in one hand, and climbed up to a tall mountain honey locust outside the yard in three or two clicks.

He's a druid, not Billy ♂, and he's not in the mood to sleep with a bunch of men.
