Chapter 048: Human Nature
The dark clouds rolled, the glow of the sun, crimson, and a bunch of them sprinkled straight on the vast plateau through the gaps between the ink clouds.
Lu Feng and Little Fat Man were already tired and alive, but when they suddenly heard this terrifying wolf howl, they immediately became more energetic, and they suddenly got up from the ground and quietly listened to the movements around them.
Roarγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
The wolf's howl still rang out from time to time, coming from behind the hillside behind him, so clear, so close, as if it was right next to him.
"It's a wolf! Cry wolf! The little fat man said tremblingly.
Lu Feng said: "I know! β
The little fat man said, "What do you know? We should find a place to hide, if the wolves find out we're doomed!" β
Lu Feng calmed down and listened to the wind in his ears.
The wind carries the sound of wolves roaring.
"If I'm listening correctly, it's supposed to be an order from the wolves to assemble, and it's clear that they're not targeting us!" Lu Feng said with great certainty.
The little fat man said: "Do you understand wolf words?" β
Lu Feng said: "I don't know very much, but I've watched the movie "Wolf Totem" and know the living habits and ways of wolves, so I can roughly judge a little meaning!" β
The little fat man said, "So you're sure these wolves aren't coming for us!?" β
Lu Feng nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "I'm sure, if I'm right, these cries probably mean summoning more wolves to gather here!" Good to act together! The two of us weren't enough to stuff the teeth between the two wolves, so it wouldn't be a target for the wolves at all, got it? β
The little fat man nodded and said, "Makes sense!" β
The twilight is getting thicker and thicker.
On the horizon, the bloody sunset is accompanied by rolling dark clouds, like a landscape picture of blood and ink splashing, indescribably magnificent.
If the color of blood is the color of life!
What about black?
Isn't black the color of death!
Lu Feng sat down quietly on the ground again, quietly watched the wind and clouds surging in the sky, and whispered to the little fat man: "The two of us are very safe in this col now, so as long as we stay here quietly and don't move, we won't alarm the wolves." β
The little fat man said, "When will it be?" β
Lu Feng said: "It's dark! β
The little fat man was puzzled, "Why wait until it gets dark!?"
Lu Feng said: "Because when it's dark, it's the best time for wolves to attack!" β
The little fat man nodded, touched his bulging belly, and said helplessly: "I just hope it will be dark soon!" Otherwise, I'm going to starve to death! β
Lu Feng glanced at the little fat man lying flat on the ground with a round belly next to him, and couldn't help but smile: "You have such a big belly, you are embarrassed to say that you are hungry, I can endure it!" β
The little fat man pouted, puffed out his two cheeks very big, let out a long breath, and said curiously: "Brother Xiao Lu? You say since the goal of these wolves is not the two of us? Who would that be! β
Lu Feng blurted out and said, "Do you still need to ask?" The natural enemy of the sheep is the wolf, and the wolf will naturally eat the sheepγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»! β
Lu Feng suddenly stopped as he spoke, falling into silence.
Because the heavens and the earth seemed to have suddenly fallen into a dead silence, and no sound of life could be heard quietly.
The wind whispered, blowing in my ears, like a pair of cold hands, with a biting chill.
The little fat man suddenly asked Lu Fengdao: "Little Brother Lu, I can't hear the howl of the wolves, are they gone?" β
Lu Feng said: "They didn't go!" Just preparing to strike! β
The little fat man said, "Are they hiding?" β
Lu Feng nodded and said in a low voice: "The wolves will hide in advance before attacking, waiting for the prey to walk into their trap and then give a fatal blow. The reason why they are quiet now is so that their prey will not notice their subordination! β
The little fat man laughed, "Brother Lu, you say that they are smarter than people, and you will dig traps and ambush them in advance!" β
Lu Feng said: "They are originally smarter than people, maybe in this world, many animals are much smarter than people!" β
"You guy, why do you keep talking to these animals!!" The little fat man glanced at Lu Feng angrily, turned around and twisted his face to the other side, put his elbow under his head, and said, "Little Brother Lu, I'll rest for a while, and when I can go, remember to call me!" β
Lu Feng said: "You kid won't want to sleep at this time, right?" β
The little fat man said, "What do you know! Don't be hungry when you fall asleep! β
Lu Feng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll fall asleep too?" By then, we'll all be wolves' meals! β
The little fat man waved his hand and said impatiently: "No! I believe you! β
The fat man was about to go to bed with his head in his arms, but suddenly Lu Feng grabbed his ears, grabbed him, and said urgently: "Get up quickly, follow me!" β
"It hurts, it hurts! Tap! The fat man hurriedly covered his ears with his hands and wondered, "Didn't you say that we can only stay here quietly?" Where are you going now? β
Lu Feng said: "Be quiet, just follow me!" β
The two of them disappeared into the col in a blink of an eye, and followed the path between the valleys to the foot of the mountain, and quietly hibernated at the place where the foot of the mountain and the plain bordered.
Here are rocky and thorny, with a high ridge more than a foot high, and behind you is a hillside full of rocks, and you can see all the wind and grass under the mountain.
I have to admit that it is indeed a good place to hide!
The little fat man couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Xiaolu, the wolves in this place will definitely not come, how do you know about this place?" β
Lu Feng's eyes looked quietly ahead, and he suddenly turned around and gently knocked the little fat man's head with his fist, and said in a low voice: "Dead fat man, it's okay to be quiet!" We're not here to escape! β
The little fat man said, "What are you here for?" β
Lu Feng said: "Let's see if I can help!" β
The little fat man was surprised: "Help? Who's helping? β
Lu Feng's gaze returned to the plain in front of him, he pointed to a large group of Tibetan antelopes on the plain that were walking towards the foot of the mountain, and said, "See? β
The little fat man said, "Are you talking about the flock?" β
Lu Feng nodded.
The little fat man said, "Is that the goal of the wolves?" β
Lu Feng said: "I hope not!" But now it seems that it must be! β
The little fat man's eyes suddenly widened and widened, and he said incredulously, "You don't want to save these sheep from the mouths of the wolves, do you?" β
Lu Feng nodded lightly and said, "I know that with your and my strength, we have no ability to stop the attack of the wolves. That's why I'm bringing you here to see if there's a chance!? β
The little fat man said: "Don't even think about it, there is absolutely no chance!" Against the wolves, there is only one way to die! β
Lu Feng suddenly knocked on the little fat man's papaya-like head, and reproached: "Crow's mouth, from now on, you are not allowed to speak, I can tell you that the foot of this mountain is full of wolves lurking and attacking, if they find out, the two of us will definitely be gnawed and there will be no bones left!" β
The little fat man immediately stopped talking!
A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Feng's mouth, and he whispered with a wry smile: "Fatty, do you know!" When I was at the police station with Officer Sonanda, they told Guo Xin and me a lot about antelopes! From that moment on, I suddenly understood why the stone wolf would risk his own life to protect those innocent lives, to fight to the death against those murderous poachers, to the cost of his life! β
The fat man turned his head and stared at Lu Feng quietly, and asked curiously, "What did they say to you?" β
Lu Feng said: "Do you know how many Tibetan antelopes there are in the world? β
The fat man shook his head, "Just kidding, how would I know!?" β
Lu Feng nodded, and then said: "Officer Sonam Jie said that in the 80s and 90s, Tibetan antelopes were everywhere in the southern plateau of Qinghai, and they could be seen almost everywhere, with a distribution density of 0.2-0.3 per square kilometer. By 1995, the total number of Tibetan antelopes in China had dropped sharply to about 50,000-75,000, and now, the total number of Tibetan antelopes is now only 10,000! This ancient species is already on its way to extinction. β
The fat man hurriedly said: "Why is it extinct?" What is the cause of this? β
Lu Feng said: "You have seen the reason!" β
The fat man said, "It's those wolves!" It was the wolves that ate all the sheep, right? β
Lu Feng shook his head and sneered, "Of course not!" Nature has its own laws, and the presence of wolves is not enough to threaten the survival of Tibetan antelopes, let alone let them face the catastrophe of extinction! β
The fat man scratched his head and wondered, "What the hell is that?" Even more ferocious than these wolves? β
Lu Feng was silent.
The fat man said to himself: "There are indeed many animals in this world that are more ferocious than wolves, but I really can't think of what it can be to make such a huge population face extinction!" β
Lu Feng said: "You don't have to think about it, the people who let these sheep go extinct are the people we see on the mountain!" β
The fat man suddenly gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You mean those whip-wielding guys!? β
Lu Feng nodded and said, "That's right! But although they are the leaders, they are still a rarity of poachers! β
"It's really disgusting!" The fat man couldn't help but pat the stone in front of him with his fist, and said angrily: "Why are they doing this? β
Lu Feng said: "Because the Tibetan antelope skin is not only soft in texture, suitable for leather clothing, gloves, etc., but also has a fresh and tender meat, and there is no fishy smell, and the hair can be used as a filling raw material for cold-proof supplies; Tibetan antelope horn has sedative, antipyretic and other medicinal effects, the horn is burned into charcoal, can treat goiter, gastritis, prolonged diarrhea and induce labor; At the same time, the horn of the Tibetan antelope is also a raw material for a variety of handicrafts, and Officer Sonam Jie told me that it is because of the large demand for leather in the modern European and American markets that poachers have hunted Tibetan antelopes for high profits! β
The fat man said: "The book says, 'People die for money, and birds die for food'. I can't imagine that people can really do anything for money! Doing such a heartbreaking, tragic thing! It turned out to be human! β
