Chapter 279: Déjà vu (2)
In the early morning of the next day, Mo Xiaosheng was awakened by a soak of urine. Although it is warm in the bed, it cannot be solved in the bed.
The sky is also dawning, it is likely that Pu Hui will come back to deliver food immediately, in order to avoid embarrassment, Mo Xiaosheng got dressed and walked out of the snail hole.
When he turned a rock behind the cave, a series of footprints printed on the snow made Mo Xiaosheng really surprised.
Mo Xiaosheng was surprised not only by the origin of this series of footprints, but also by the span between these footprints, which were more than two meters between every two footprints.
Such a span is not something that ordinary people can leave, and the distance of a normal person walking a step is between 0.4 meters and 0.6 meters. And this person walked a distance of more than two meters, this is definitely a practitioner, and he has good skills.
"Who could it be? Park Hui? No way. Mo Xiaosheng immediately denied his thoughts: "Although Park Hui's ability to climb rocks is amazing, it is impossible for her to take such a step.
"Who else could there be if it wasn't Park Hui? Patriarch Park Kim Moo? Could it be that Park Jinwu is a peerless master who is deeply hidden? Is he coming to see me at night? Finding out what I'm talking about? ”
Mo Xiaosheng also forgot to urinate, measured the footprints, and fell into deep thought.
"Last night, the wind blew for half a night, and the footprints of him and Pu Hui in front of the snail cave were already covered with snow, and there was no trace.
And this series of footprints only has traces of leaving, no traces of coming, which can only show one problem. The man arrived near the snail cave very early, stayed behind the snail hole for the night, and left before I got up.
"Will it be Park Jinwu who will spend the night behind the snail cave? If he doubts me, he can leave me without taking me in, and there is no need to brave the cold here to watch me all night. ”
"Engong, are you up?" Park Hui's voice came.
"Get up, you go in first." Mo Xiaosheng looked at Pu Hui with his back to him embarrassedly. You don't have to think about it to know that Park Hui has already guessed what he is doing.
Mo Xiaosheng waited for Pu Hui to walk into the cave, and he didn't bother to think about who came to visit his sleeping phase? After solving the problems that should be solved, fasten your pants and walk into the snail hole.
The area of the snail cave is about 300 square meters, the width of the cave is between one and a half meters to one meter six, the height is more than two meters, and a simple wooden door blocks the cold air from the outside.
Entering the entrance of the cave more than three meters, the cave suddenly opened, high and wide, the ground was flat, oval-shaped, like a big belly, able to accommodate the next hundred and ten people.
"The little rice porridge I cooked for me is still hot, come and drink it." Pu Hui smiled and looked at Mo Xiaosheng who walked into the cave.
"Thank you." Mo Xiaosheng was not polite, and drank the crockpot.
For more than forty days, he had only drunk the chicken soup that Pu Hui stewed for him once, and the rest was eaten dry, and when he was thirsty, he grabbed a handful of snow and put it in his mouth. Being able to take a sip of hot rice soup was something he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Poof--" Mo Xiaosheng squirted out the rice soup he drank into his mouth again, this rice soup is not only hot, but also hot enough to burn off the skin in his mouth.
"Slow down." Park Hui giggled: "How can you look like a child, don't you try to be hot first?" ”
Mo Xiaosheng half-opened his mouth, inhaled the cold air, and lowered the temperature in his mouth: "You walked such a long way, I thought it would be almost cold, who knew it was still so hot?" ”
Pu Hui sat on the stone and held her cheek with her left hand: "The patriarch said that you are not a laborer, and your identity should be very special." ”
Mo Xiaosheng buried his head in hardship and replied casually: "He can think whatever he likes, this is his freedom." It would be nice to have another moon on my legs, and after that, I will leave, and he will be fooled. ”
Pu Hui smiled and stood up: "I won't accompany you, I still have to collect medicine." There are a few people in Zhuangzi who are coughing, and I am going to find some medicine to treat the wind and cold. ”
Today's weather is very clear, without a hint of cold, good enough to describe the wind and sunshine.
Mo Xiaosheng, who was nesting in the cave, walked out of the snail cave to enjoy the bright sunshine and bask in the sun.
He spread the hides on the stone at the entrance of the cave, sat on them, and looked up.
There is also a cave on the opposite hillside, and smoke rises from the mouth of the cave, and someone should live in it.
A figure flickered at the entrance of the cave, then vanished. Mo Xiaosheng was stunned, this figure was very familiar to him, and it seemed familiar. But the two caves are too far apart to see it really.
"No, absolutely not, he won't be here." Mo Xiaosheng sighed lightly: "I must be thinking too much, there are too many people who look alike." ”
But he still stared at the hole, but the figure never appeared again. It wasn't until a strong wind blew in the afternoon that he had to return to the cave.
When Park Hui came to deliver food in the evening, Mo Xiaosheng asked her about the situation in the cave opposite.
Pu Hui paused for a moment before saying, "There are these people living in the cave opposite, and they are collecting medicine like me. But I take all kinds of medicines, and they only dig ginseng. ”
"Are they Han Chinese?" Mo Xiaosheng asked tentatively.
Park Hui shook her head: "I don't know, they are friends of the patriarch, and they were also invited by the patriarch, and I don't know about the others." ”
"How long have they been here?" Mo Xiaosheng asked anxiously.
"It's been almost a month, right? A few days after we first met, they came. Pu Hui looked at Mo Xiaosheng: "You seem to care about them very much, they have come to harass you?" ”
"The timing is not right, it must not be them." Mo Xiaosheng thought secretly, looked up and said with a smile: "I'm just curious, today I saw smoke rising from the cave opposite. ”
"Oh." Park Hui responded thoughtfully.
talked to Mo Xiaosheng again, and noticed that Mo Xiaosheng had been absent-minded all the time, and left a little disappointed.
For the next twenty days, Mo Xiaosheng observed the cave opposite every day. However, he never saw the smoke rising from the cave opposite, nor did he see anyone entering or leaving.
He also asked Park Hui, and Park Hui only gave him three words: "I don't know." ”
Mo Xiaosheng has been living in the Snail Cave for almost a month, that is to say, more than two months have passed since Mo Xiaosheng was injured, and his leg injury has basically recovered.
After holding back for more than two months, Mo Xiaosheng needed to move. He has to regain his physical strength in the remaining ten or twenty days and return his injured left leg to its previous state.
The best way to recover physical functions is a good choice for Mo Xiaosheng, a former hunter.
With this idea, Mo Xiaosheng asked Pu Hui to help him find some long wooden poles, springs, saws and other things.
Park Hui asked him puzzled, what do you want these things for?
Mo Xiaosheng smiled slightly: "Military secrets, I will not leak them." ”
After saying this, Mo Xiaosheng regretted it, and secretly blamed himself: "It's really a thief who hasn't confessed for three years." ”
Pu Hui didn't seem to notice, and smiled faintly: "Don't talk about pulling down, mysterious and mysterious, who is rare." ”
Mo Xiaosheng used the things sent by Pu Hui to make a trap and tied the bayonet to a long wooden pole as a hunting fork.
He had a Type 38 rifle, but he didn't want to use it, after all, he only had twenty-one rounds. The bullets are too expensive, and one shot is missing, and it cannot be replenished. He won't use it until he has to.
With the hunting equipment, Mo Xiaosheng climbed the Karez Mountain. Climbing to the top of the mountain, he was already out of breath and sweating profusely.
After lying like a pig for two months, the left leg injury has not fully recovered to its previous state, and he can climb a mountain with an altitude of nearly 700 meters in one go, Mo Xiaosheng is still satisfied.
After a short rest, he disguised himself under a pine tree and tied the hen that had come with Park Hui to the pine tree. Carrying the 38 style on his back and carrying a hunting fork made of bayonets, he walked in the other direction.
From more than nine o'clock in the morning to more than three o'clock in the afternoon. Mo Xiaosheng, who was exhausted from spinning in the mountains, did not gain much, but only caught a pheasant.
He returned to the trap where he had set up, and the hen clucked and jumped alive. The trap is still the same, and the wolf he wants to fight is not visible.
Mo Xiaosheng sat on the snow in annoyance, he had promised Pu Hui that he would let the villagers of Kaner Mountain eat wolf meat. He also boasted that he was a good hunter, and as long as he made a move, the villagers would be able to eat delicious food in the mountains at the end of the year.
He glanced at the pheasant hanging on the homemade hunting fork: "It's just such a thing, I can't eat it alone, this time it's a big deal." ”
Thinking that the New Year was approaching, Mo Xiaosheng's heart flew back to the mountain range Xianlai Peak, and Xue Wu, who went on a mission with him, should have returned to the mountain smoothly, right? Will Deng Houfang scold them?
And Ouyang Hongxue, how is she now? Ever thought about yourself? He resented Ouyang Hongxue a little, knowing that he loved him deeply, but he wanted to abandon himself.
He had planned not to return to Xianlai Peak after his injury was healed, but to find Ouyang Hongxue first, and after marrying Ouyang Hongxue, he would go to Xianlai Peak and find Deng Houfang, the captain of the martial arts team of the Backing Mountain Sect, to receive punishment.
However, he also knows very well that his idea is unrealistic. The Northeast is so big, Ouyang Hongxue wants to hide, deliberately hiding from herself, she can't find it at all, unless Ouyang Hongxue looks for herself.
Therefore, he wanted to hunt some prey and give it to the Tibetan compatriots in Karezan before the end of the year, as a way to thank him for taking care of him these days.
But God didn't help, so he wandered around the mountains for a day, and only hunted a pheasant.
"Cluck, cluck—" The hen tethered to the pine tree flapped her wings and crowed in alarm.
"You call a bear? Lao Tzu is angry now, and then ask Lao Tzu to roast you. Mo Xiaosheng scolded irritably.
"That's not right." Mo Xiaosheng felt that something was wrong. The hen was not reacting right, and it must have spotted the danger.
"Squeak, squeak--" came the sound of footsteps on the snow.
Mo Xiaosheng turned his head: "Mom, this bear thing doesn't hibernate, how did it run out." ”
A black bear weighing more than three hundred catties, with a fierce light in his eyes and foaming at the mouth, walked towards Mo Xiaosheng step by step.
Habits of Bears:
Bears spend the cold winter in the form of hibernation when food is scarce, however, if food is sufficient, many bears do not hibernate and instead hunt throughout the winter.
