Chapter 55, Shenmu (2)
Several members of the exploration team ran in the direction of Warge Billing in a panic. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info Now Warge Billing knew that he must not be able to hide, and he turned and ran, and did not even have time to drag away the wild boar on the ground - if it was discovered by those people, if it was surrounded by a large group of armed men, it would be too dangerous - all of them were armed with weapons, and they were all in the prime of life, and they did not come here for peace or friendship or anything.
In fact, in a panic, the exploration team, who was desperate to flee for their lives, did not notice the short, dark-skinned Warzhi Billing. As soon as they rushed up to the nearby woods, the rushing flood rushed through the small clearing where they had just stayed, and for a moment, all they could hear in their ears was the thunderous whistling of the flood, and they saw sections of branches, and even entire trees being washed down the torrent.
"Look!" Chen Guang suddenly shouted, "That seems to be the tree we are looking for!" "A large tree was carried by the flood and then caught in a few rocks at a bend in the current.
The people beside him also looked towards the tree, but it was a little farther away, and they couldn't see it clearly in the splashes. At this time, the captain Hao Ren shouted: "Have you all come up?" Come up and count! So everyone didn't care about the tree, and they all walked towards Hao Ren.
"One, two, three...... XVIII.19...... Hey, why is there so much short? Who the is so stupid and washed away by water? Hao Ren was a little anxious.
"Captain Hao, someone ran to the other side, you see, they are over there!" Chen Guang's eyes were good, and he saw several people on the other side of the turbulent torrent waving towards them.
"Well, it's them, it's okay, it's okay!" Hao Ren let out a sigh, if he had only been in the forest for a few days, he would have lost almost half of his team members, it would be too ...... Hao Ren was eager to ask the other side how many people there were. However, listening to the rumbling sound of the flood in his ears, Hao Ren dispelled this idea, he did not think that his voice could suppress the roar of the torrent and penetrate the other side. Now there seems to be no other way than to wait patiently and pray to the gods and Buddhas.
"Let's check and see how many things we've grabbed." Hao Ren said. In the panic just now, there must have been a lot of things that were washed away by the flood before they could be picked up.
Everyone lowered their heads and began to count the losses, but it was impossible to determine how much they had lost, because those who had gone to the other side must have had a lot of things in their hands. To determine how much was lost, you can only wait patiently for the flood water to recede, and the team members who have been separated on both sides of the flood will converge.
Fortunately, the flood in the mountains always came and went quickly, and soon the roar began to weaken, and the water level also dropped rapidly as the naked eye could see, but with a bag of cigarettes, the flood water receded completely, and the clearing was revealed again, and after a while, the stream was completely restored to its original appearance, and became clear and shallow.
The exploration team members who had been hiding high on both sides gathered in the open space again and began to count people and goods.
"Fortunately, thanks to Master Bei (Hao Ren didn't know that Grylls was the surname, he and others only called this big nose Bell, and Hao Ren naturally decided that Mr. Bell's surname was Bei, and his single name was Er. This time Bell saved everyone's lives, so Hao Ren also added the word "grandfather" after Bell's surname to show respect and gratitude) In, otherwise I don't know how many people will die, how can it be like the current one, no one is missing! Speaking of which, Hao Ren was very afraid.
"Thanks to Bei Ye! Bei Ye is really a role model for us! Chen Guang also said very sincerely.
"It's just that a lot of things are missing." It was said.
The flood came so quickly that there was little warning. So when fleeing, it was difficult for people to say that they had brought all their belongings with them, so a lot of things were washed away by the flood. Hao Ren summed up, the exploration team lost almost all the food, and the tents, iron pots and so on were all gone.
"Hell! Could it be that we will have to live by hunting in the future? Hao Ren was worried. On the premise of constantly moving forward to find the wood needed, it is not easy to ensure the stomachs of more than 30 big men, relying on hunting alone.
Fortunately, the Ji people have their own natural appearance, and at this time, someone suddenly shouted: "There is a wild boar here!" A wild boar! β
Hao Ren grabbed the short spear and scolded in his heart, "Idiot! What to shout! Aren't you afraid to scare the wild boar away? He ran over to that side, and the others followed, especially Bei Ye, although he was the last in the team to figure out what was going on because of the language, but after listening to the interpreter finish speaking, he first picked up the short spear on the ground with his feet, and grabbed it, and then gave full play to the advantage of his long legs, and rushed to the front in a few steps-since the fool shouted, the wild boar must have been alarmed, and at this time he had to rush over as soon as possible, to have the possibility of catching the wild boar.
But when they came running, they saw that the boar had fallen to the ground, and there was some blood on the ground. The exploration team member who was scolded as a "fool" by Hao Ren and Bei Ye in their hearts just now was holding a short spear and standing next to him.
"Wouldn't it? Got it done so quickly? Guan Erye didn't kill Huaxiong so fast, right? I usually didn't see this kid so fierce! Hao Ren thought in his heart.
At this time, Bei Ye had already run in front of the wild boar, he glanced at the wild boar, and then at the person standing next to him, and then asked something, but the man didn't understand, and only smiled at him. At this time, the other people also rushed over, they all said something to the person who first discovered the wild boar, but Bei Ye couldn't understand a word, although he also tried hard to learn a little Chinese, but he learned Mandarin, and the current level is limited to being able to say "hello", "how much", "too expensive" and so on. Most of the time they spoke in tongues to each other, and he couldn't understand a word.
It wasn't until the interpreter came over panting that Bei Ye figured out the situation: the wild boar was killed by someone else, and even a rope was tied to one of the boar's hind legs, and it seemed that the hunter had chased the wild boar, but for some reason suddenly left.
"The hunter must have spotted us, several people ran towards this position just now, and the hunter must have been worried that we had bad intentions, so he fled." Hao Ren analyzed.
"This wound was caused by a spearhead of hardwood." Another member of the exploration team said, "The tip of the steel spear is bladed, and the hole that is pierced is not like this." And this wound is not fatal. This stabbed the boar in the belly, and if the boar had not fallen to the ground at that time, it would not have been able to stab this position. The fatal place should be here. β
He pointed to a wound in the boar's back and said, "This wound must have been caused by some kind of mechanism that had been pierced from above, and the bamboo or other thing was bent up to make a trap, and when the beast touched it, the bamboo bounced up, and several spearheads made of hardwood or bamboo pierced down." I've seen a lot of this kind of trap when I've been dealing with some students. β
Bell listened to the interpreter's paraphrase and expressed his full agreement with this view:
Then the hunter followed the wounded boar, and pursued it not far away, knowing that it had fallen down because of its wounds, and had lost too much blood, and he came forwardβafter all, the boar was a very dangerous beast. The guy ...... If it's just me, I don't want to provoke it unless I'm hungry. So he waited until the boar had fallen, and then he came forward, stabbed it in the stomach with his spear to make sure it was dead, and tied it up with a rope, intending to pick it up or drag it back. I don't know if the natives here are friendly or not, if they are friendly, we lose a lot of necessities, and it might be a good idea to find them and trade with them. β
After listening to the interpreter's paraphrase, Hao Ren also felt that it made sense. He said to the exploration team member who analyzed the cause of the boar's death just now: "Lao He, you have a mother-in-law, you are most familiar with the matter of Shengfan, tell me how it is." β
"I don't know which race these students belong to, and I don't know if the language is incomprehensible." Lao He replied, "But this place is already far from the sea, and the tribes here generally don't deal with us or others. There is no injustice and no hatred, unlike those by the sea, we robbed other people's land, and robbed other people's women, so it's strange if we don't fight hard...... I think we can talk to them about how a little thing, like a knife, like a chain of fire, can easily get a lot of necessities from them. β
"Change something." Another person suddenly said, "There are so many of us, we all have weapons and muskets, can't we just rob them?" I've heard that the number of people in the villages in this mountain is very small, and one village will definitely not be able to beat us. β
"Huang Wu, rob you of your head!" Hao Ren scolded, "If you are injured in this forest, you will die nine and a half out of ten!" And there aren't many people in a village, but there is also an alliance between the villages of the students. When the time comes, the hornet's nest will be overturned, and everyone will have no good fruit to eat! It's good to use your brain! β
Huang Wu was scolded by Hao Ren, but he was not annoyed, but just smiled curtly: "Big brother, don't worry, brother, I just said that, I can't take it seriously." β
Hao Ren glared at Huang Wu, didn't say anything more, he first squatted down to look at the wild boar, then stood up and looked around and said, "Look at the traces, that wild boar came from over there, why don't we go over there and take a look?" β
At this time, Chen Guang suddenly remembered the tree in the flood just now, and hurriedly said: "Captain Hao, just now the flood washed down a tree, which was blocked by a stone, and it was over there, I looked at it and felt a bit like the kind of tree we were looking for. Why don't we go and see it first, if so, fold off some branches and leaves, and ask those students. β
