Chapter Forty-Five: The Beast in the Trees
The so-called "stripping the bed to the feet, contempt, chastity", this is the first line in the sixty hexagrams, which means that this ominous has come, and the evil has eroded the feet of the bed, and I am now feeling like this, but I can't say it.
After a night of oolong incidents, everyone was tired, and after cleaning up, I went to bed and went to bed, because I still need to go out tomorrow to find new food, so this time the last shift, and I was afraid of Song Yingchun's retaliatory behavior, so I didn't dare to let it continue to watch.
Fortunately, this girl seemed to have been hit harder, just lying still, not saying a word, motionless, which made me worry a lot.
Before I went to bed, Song Bailu pulled me outside the house alone and said to me: "That girl frightened me and my dad the last time she did this, and then she didn't eat or drink, and silently twisted all the electrical wires in the house, forcing her father to apologize to her, so that she was psychologically satisfied before the matter passed, you have to be careful, this girl has too much temper, you embarrass her in front of so many people, she may retaliate against you." ”
"Is this girl a scorpion? Such a terrible vindictiveness. Okay, I see, you've been staring a little bit lately. I said.
Bai Lu nodded.
After I went back to bed to rest, she fell asleep with her back to me, without saying a word, I only felt that my mind was cold, so I also turned my back to her, and I slept very unsteadily this night.
When I woke up and took over, the first thing I did was to look around, and I was glad that it was okay, and when everyone woke up and had eaten the stewed venison jerky, I was ready to set off to get some food.
Put on the deerskin jacket sewn by Yun Wen, put on the backpack, bring the bayonet, and prepared to go out, before going out, Song Bailu looked at Song Yingchun for me, and Yun Wen sent me all the way to the gate of the fence, all the way with her head down and silent.
"Beware of Song Yingchun, don't let her ruin the hard-won achievements of all of us, everything here is earned by everyone's hard work, you must help me take care of it at this end of the house." I said.
"Well, don't worry about leaving it to me and Sister Bai Lu, you go early and come back early, come back early..."
She stepped forward and hugged me tightly, knowing that any time I left would probably be my last, so she was more worried than any other girl.
"You also protect yourself, now the inside of the house is not much safer than the outside, I'm really sorry, because of my relationship, the relationship between the people in the house has become tense, and it is my fault that your situation is embarrassing and dangerous." I said.
She raised her head, shook her head at me, and said with a lovely look: "I didn't pay attention that night, so that Sister Yingchun misunderstood, I am not afraid of shadows, things will always pass, you must not be affected by these things when you go out now, concentrate on it, in order to ensure the safety of your own life." ”
I nodded, and she slowly let go of me, and watched me out, and I walked a long way until I turned my head to see her slowly back to the other end of the house.
How can there be a feeling of a new recruit enlisting in the army and leaving the newlywed wife at home...
Throw away these sadness, just like Yun Wen said, now concentration can give me a higher chance of survival, many thoughts in my heart will inevitably affect the performance, a small mistake may be the difference between life and death.
I wasn't so scared of Bigfoot this time, this guy didn't kill me last time, but gave me fish to reset his dislocated hand bone, so my terrible impression of him was a little better.
But it doesn't mean that you can be so lucky every time, so if you can not meet it or try not to encounter it, I am even more faintly worried in my heart, it is a mysterious creature, it can move freely in the tree, hunt prey, and the weight must not be light, after all, the thick branches have broken marks, and it is not something to be messed with.
If you provoke the wolves, you can avoid trouble by hiding in the trees, at least the wolves can't just stay in one place to kill me in order to survive, and you can run when you have the opportunity, but if you can hunt in the trees, then it's two things, and if you encounter it, you can't avoid it.
All the way forward, through the tall woods, jujube tree area to the fault, climbed into the dangerous road, I deliberately walked close to the mountain wall, try not to let Bigfoot find out my arrival, and then entered the snake cave, through the crossing, then to the danger area.
It was still covered in snow and pale and white, but unlike last time, there were sparse footprints on the snow, which made me interested, which meant that this time I wouldn't find nothing here, I followed the footprints, all the way to the tree, and then slowly followed the footprints, only to find that the footprints were bloody, and I became more and more panicked.
It can be seen that this is some kind of hoof print, the front hooves are two abrupt two, and there are two slightly shorter finger prints on the side, this kind of footprint has many similarities with the footprints common in the countryside, it should be some kind of wild boar, from the distance of the four footprints of the hooves, it should be some kind of pig creature that inhabits it.
It's just that wild boars generally live in groups, but there is only one wild boar's footprints here, and I thought that it should be alone, and seeing that there are more and more blood stains around its footprints, it must have been hunted by some kind of creature, so it ran towards the trees and fled.
I also panicked, but there was no way, to survive the harsh winter, I had to find an opportunity to find food, and I didn't go into the tiger's den to get the tiger.
Further on, the footprints became more and more messy, fragmented and chaotic, in different directions, obviously caused by danger and impatience.
I squatted down and dipped my fingers a little, the blood was not completely cold, it was evident that this tragedy had happened not long ago, and I immediately drew my bayonet and looked around, and immediately hid beside a tree to beware of danger.
At this moment, the bushes in front of me were sparsely rustling, and my hearing immediately recognized that it was the footsteps of a wolf, a rhythm that I still remember vividly, after all, life and death were on the line.
I immediately climbed up the tree, and without hesitation, several wolves pounced quickly, but pounced on the air, and let out an angry cry below, which I had expected, so I was not particularly afraid.
I moved slightly to the thick branch to allow myself to stand firm, while the wolves coveted below, a few of them crouched over me, and the rest watched from a distance.
Then I seemed to find something strange here, how did this tree feel familiar? It wasn't until I saw the slightly broken part that I realized that I was back on the tree where I had found the jade necklace, and the dark red stained part of the branch was still so conspicuous.
"Such a coincidence? Is this tree so related to me? I couldn't help but ask myself.
Just as I was feeling a little more emotional, the branches above the tree I was in made another sound, creaking, and eerie...
And an incredible scene appeared, those few wolves crouching below, with a vigilant rumbling sound in their throats, bared their teeth at the trees, showing their sharp teeth, and their whole bodies were already fried!
One drop, two, three drops of blood dripped on my head, slimy, and smelly, I trembled and looked up, but I saw a wild boar that died tragically, suddenly out of those big eyes staring at me, its neck was bitten open a big hole, the wound was deep, it must have been extremely painful before death, I covered my mouth, knowing that there must be some terrible hunter above, so I didn't dare to move, I didn't dare to breathe.
The branches above my head creaked a few more times, then stopped, except for the sound of a few wolves below, and suddenly there was silence all around, and the silence made my scalp tingle...
