Golden City Chapter 53 Shoot the Wolf

Wolves, stoic, bloodthirsty, windy, persevering, and skilled in teamwork, are perhaps the most feared creatures in the world. The premise is that humans are classified as animals. Now, Li Le and the others have to choose between the two.

The five voted by a show of hands, whether to enter the city or to camp. The result was three to two, only Fan Qinghui and Li Le stood in the same trench and supported the decision to enter the city.

Just as most girls like horror and supernatural movies, perhaps for Yan Xiaowu, the guy who is most afraid of wolves, the novelty of camping in this vast and majestic eternal wasteland seems to be more attractive. And Shi was the first to propose that he could not enter the city, but Fan Taohua was because he supported Yan Xiaowu's decision.

Under the reflection of the blazing bonfire, Yan Xiaowu and Fan Qinghui faced each other, like peach and plum competing for spring. Fan Taohua just told a joke about eating and sleeping and beating beans, and the atmosphere was a little cold. The two ladies were expressionless. Only the stone smiled.

Everyone else wrapped themselves in sleeping bags and roasted the fire, but Li Le lay alone in the jeep and looked up at the stars.

The night sky is full of twinkling stars. Li Le stared intently at the brightest star in the south.

In Chinese astronomy, this star is called Sirius (the wolf of the sky); Roman pinyin in Chinese: TiānlÑng; Romanized pinyin in Japanese: Tenrō. The star official in China is Jingjuku. The ancient Chinese combined it with the constellation Asterus and Canis Major to imagine a large bow across the southern sky, and in this combination, the arrow was facing Sirius.

The gold medal found in the Taihang Tower reads that Ganquan skillfully shoots the wolf at a glance. It seems to be alluding to the coordinates of the underground golden city. According to the literal analysis, this sentence seems to say that there is a spring somewhere deep in the desert that can reflect Sirius.

Regarding Sirius, Su Dongpo has a famous sentence through the ages: Look northwest, shoot the wolf! The old man chatted about juvenile madness. This sentence has caused many people to misunderstand the location of Sirius, in fact, the northwest view here does not actually refer to the direction, because Sirius is in the southern celestial sphere, and from the northern hemisphere of the earth, it will definitely not be located in the northwest. Assuming that the phrase on the gold medal about Sirius is only an allusion to the coordinates, how many such places would there be on the entire Mongolian plateau?

No matter how powerful a person is, once he is in this vast and boundless world, he will find that everything about himself has become small and insignificant. Trying to find a spring in this vast and desolate land that reflects the heavenly wolf and points out the coordinates of the underground Jin Cheng is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The Mongolian people worship the wolf, but also worship the sun, moon and stars, Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, and in the name of the wolf, it occupies a high position in the totem worship of the Mongolian people. Maybe there is another purpose in this sentence?

The sky is vast, and the four fields are quiet.

Yan Xiaowu reluctantly left the sleeping bag and bonfire, walked to the jeep with a cup of hot milk tea, and handed it to Li Le.

"It's only the end of October, and this hellish place is freezing, drink a cup of hot, don't freeze to death for you."

Li Le smiled, took it in his hand, and drank it all as if he was drinking.

Yan Xiaowu blinked, and asked again: "You said that there are wolves targeting us, except for that wolf howl, why is there no movement at all now?" ”

"Wolves are the most patient hunters and one of the most tactical, and they like to attack at dawn, when the human will is at its most vulnerable." Li Le jumped out of the jeep and said, "The wolves here are the most ferocious and deadly in the world, and only those who have seen them attack will understand. ”

"You sound like you're familiar with the wolves here." Yan Xiaowu pursed his lips and said disapprecitately.

"Three years ago, your brother and I went to the Mongolian Plateau, and it was also a night like this, when we were surrounded by thousands of wolves on the banks of the Troubled River." Li Le suddenly paused when he said this, and the situation of that night came to his mind, the hungry wolves with hideous noses and low roars, those teeth as sharp as knives, the swallow Zijin who seemed to be weak but actually had the strength to carry the top, and himself who was seriously injured in the mission. If it weren't for his crazy outlaw protection, he would have been in the belly of a wolf at that time.

"And then? Why don't you go on? Yan Xiaowu asked curiously.

"There's no after." Li Le's eyes were as sharp as a sword, he looked around, and replied a little absent-mindedly.

Yan Xiaowu was a little dissatisfied, and then continued to ask: "You only said half of what you said just now, why didn't you say it?" ”

At that time, Li Le and Yan Zijin were ordered to go to the eastern foothills of Kent Mountain to find the wreckage of a spy satellite secretly launched by the Chinese military, but they encountered a small group of half-human, half-beast genetically modified soldiers sent by the Russian military. Yan Zijin was in charge of the technical work, so he did not participate in the battle, and after getting the important data brought back by the satellite, the two rushed to the receiving place together. On the way, he was attacked by wolves.

The situation was dire. The hungry steppe wolves rushed upwards desperately, and the ammunition of the two men was quickly exhausted, and there were wolf corpses and hungry gray-haired wolves all around them. They have razor-sharp teeth, and they can't satisfy their cravings for food even after devouring the few flesh and blood of their companions' corpses. Crowds came up.

Li Le knew that with Yan Zijin's ability, if he wasn't dragged down by himself, he could completely fight his way out of the encirclement alone. persuaded him to go first, but Yan Zijin stubbornly carried himself on his back, guarded the river and fought the wolves alone, and when the ammunition and food were exhausted, the blood-stained robe did not retreat, and he persisted all night. Until backup arrived and saved their lives.

After eight years in the army, that was the closest Li Le came to death. It is precisely because of that unwavering protection that Li Le will miss the discarding in the Amazon jungle that day.

It is impossible to go back and start over the missed days, only to look forward. The old commissar's advice seemed to be on my ears.

Li Le looked at Yan Xiaowu, smiled gently, and said: "Actually, there is nothing to say, this time is different from the past, compared to our preparations, these wolves are not much of a threat, as long as we hide in the car, no matter how many wolves we can't help it." ”

Fan Taohua interjected: "It's just that in that case, we won't be able to do anything in a short time, I've heard that these wolves are very patient." ”

"Brother Van Gao sees that, that's exactly the case." Li Le nodded and said, "The fuel on the jeep is limited, and we can't consume them, so I plan to let the two ladies get into the car, and the three of us will meet these wolves, so that they can understand that we are not easy to mess with." ”

Fan Taohua agreed: "This trip is not short, we still have to find Chengling Tomb, there is no time to spend a long time with them, although it is more risky to do this, but if we can let these wolves know the difficulty and retreat, our next trip will be able to go smoothly." ”

It was nearly midnight, and in the dark night, there was a long and mournful howl at dusk, like a horn of attack!

Shi suddenly stood up, pulled out a burning wooden stick from the bonfire, looked around at the endless darkness around him, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Le, just say what to do!" ”

Li Le beckoned Fan Qinghui and Yan Xiaowu to get into the car first, opened the trunk, took out the thick-backed ghost head knife in the family heirloom eighteen slashes, took out three * shotguns, and threw one and two large bags of ammunition to each of Fan Taohua and Shishi. He said in a deep voice: "Prepare, remember, in principle, it is better to be injured than killed!" ”

In the silent night, between the undulating hills and the low wind and grass, black shadows are quietly approaching, and ghostly eyes are jumping, flickering with greedy and ferocious desires, which is daunting.

Cry wolf!

PS: If you have something to do tomorrow, please take a day off.
