Chapter 396: How are there two people missing
The dense fog in the morning really made everyone choke enough, Zhou Xiaolong and they came prepared, and they all brought a change of dry clothes to change, but Dai Xiong only had this one clothes.
It's not pleasant to wear wet clothes, the air in the mountains is cold, and it's easy to get sick.
Therefore, Dai Xiong wanted to collect some dry firewood, light a fire, and roast his clothes.
After greeting Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui, Dai Xiong pinned a firewood knife to his waist and went into a small forest not far away.
Professor Cui took out a compass from his pocket and held it in the palm of his hand, ready to see the direction of feng shui here and explore the direction.
As soon as he took out the compass and looked at it, Professor Cui immediately said "Huh", took a few steps forward, adjusted a few positions, and then said "Huh" in more confusion.
"What's wrong, Professor Cui?!" Zhou Xiaolong asked as he walked over.
"Xiaolong, look at the magnetic needle on this compass, why is it shaking so vigorously?!" Professor Cui said strangely.
Professor Cui is right, the pointer on the compass seems to be out of order, not completely stopped, but constantly trembling, and it seems that it will never stop.
This compass is a treasure that Zhou Xiaolong accidentally picked up in the ancient culture street, and later Professor Cui found an expert in ancient cultural relics to repair it, replaced it with a new magnetic needle, and repaired the missing corner.
Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui have both debugged it, and this antique compass can already be used normally.
But how can the magnetic needle keep shaking today, is the compass broken again?!
If the compass is not broken, it is not impossible for the compass to be inaccurate.
This phenomenon occurs in the compass when there is a strong magnetic field interference somewhere, but if the magnetic field changes, the star position in the sky will not change.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaolong looked up at the sky, the fog had dissipated, the sun was hanging in the sky, and it seemed that he could only wait for the evening to look at the stars.
As soon as Professor Cui put away the compass, suddenly, they heard a "bang" gunshot, which instantly pierced the peace at the bottom of the valley.
People were startled and immediately realized that it must be Dai Xiong who was putting a gun, because Dai Xiong was the only one with a shotgun......
Zhou Xiaolong cheered up, it was quiet and terrible all the way, but at this moment, a gunshot rang out, could it be that something happened to Dai Xiong's side?!
"Hey, what's going on over there???!!!"
Professor Cui shouted in Dai Xiong's direction, but no one answered.
"It's not good, Xiaolong, let's go over and have a look!" Professor Cui said to Zhou Xiaolong.
Professor Cui's legs and feet were too slow, so Zhou Xiaolong beckoned his apprentice Ouyang Lei over and said, "Professor Cui, you and Gu Lili are waiting here, I'll go with Da Lei to have a look!" ”
After speaking, Zhou Xiaolong also told Gu Lili and Professor Cui: "This place is very weird, you just stay where you are, don't run around, wait for me and Da Lei to come back, you know?!" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei quickly ran in the direction of the gunshot.
Listening to the gunshots, it should not be far from the resting place, and the two of them quickly walked through the forest one after the other.
Zhou Xiaolong ran fast, and suddenly found that something was shaking in front of him, and he was walking towards him.
Zhou Xiaolong picked up a large stone from the ground and held it up as a weapon, ready to fire at any time.
The movement is getting closer and closer, but the weeds and trees are already more than one person tall, and Zhou Xiaolong's height is relatively short, so he can't see what it is, but he can vaguely feel that the distance is getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, there was another sound over there, like some animal was squeaking?!
Ouyang Lei also rushed over at this time and asked, "What sound?!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong replied, "Sounds like a pig?" ”
Ouyang Lei asked incredulously, "There are no people here, how can anyone raise pigs?!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong ignored Ouyang Lei, but shouted to the front, "Brother Big Bear, is it you?!" ”
When asked, the other side finally agreed: "You're here, just right, come and help!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei ran over to take a look, hey, it turned out that Dai Xiong's kid owed a hand and hit a wild boar, which weighed more than 100 catties.
Ouyang Lei had never seen a wild boar when he was so old, so he was surprised, "Oh, what kind of monster is this, why does it have a pig's nose!" ”
Dai Xionghan said with a smile: "Originally, I came in to collect firewood, but I didn't expect to see this guy, and I knocked him down with a shot, and I will pull it back later, clean up and let us stew some game, and give you a taste." ”
In the past two days, Ouyang Lei has eaten compressed biscuits and canned food, and he has long been hungry for meat.
This big boar was quite large, and the three of them dragged the wild boar out of the forest slowly, because the speed was slow, and it took a lot of time.
As soon as Zhou Xiaolong and the others returned to the entrance of the village, Ouyang Lei shouted to Gu Lili to come over and see the freshness, but after shouting for a long time, there was dead silence in the village? !
Hey, why are Professor Cui and Gu Lili gone???!!!
Dai Xiong naturally didn't know when he came back just now, but Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei knew, just now, when the two of them went in to find Dai Xiong, Professor Cui and Gu Lili were near the stone man and stone horse???!!!
It only takes more than ten minutes to get in and out, where can two people run??!!!
Ouyang Lei shook off his throat and shouted the names of the two, and there was no other echo in the empty valley except for the echoes one after another......
If Gu Lili's head is convulsive, it is still possible to run around, but Professor Cui is old, no matter how crazy he is, at least he has a bottom line!!
Even if Gu Lili wants to run around, according to the cleanup, Professor Cui will stop it, at least he has to tell Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei, right?!
Zhou Xiaolong checked the scene, and found no traces of destruction and attack, the items were all placed in place intact, even the mule was leisurely grazing, and the possibility of being attacked by wild beasts was almost none, why were there no people?!
The three of them looked at the village in front of them, and Ouyang Lei said to Zhou Xiaolong: "Master, don't worry, are the two of them advanced in the village?!" ”
This proposal is not impossible, Zhou Xiaolong decided to go into the village to have a look, maybe there is something new.
If Professor Cui was too excited and took Gu Lili to investigate, maybe he wouldn't be sure?
Now Zhou Xiaolong can only comfort himself like this, but if Professor Cui and Gu Lili are really inside, Ouyang Lei shouted like that just now, the two of them should also have a response, and they will definitely be able to hear it.
Without caring about packing up his things, Dai Xiong led the way forward, and Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei ran towards the mysterious ancient village......
