Chapter 53: Intentions Unclear
I immediately extinguished the torch, and quietly crept in the grass nearby, only to hear the creaking of the trees, and the sound continued beyond the fence, and when it stopped, I looked up, and sure enough, there was a black rumbling creature peeking through its face, poking its head inside.
My fence is almost 1.5m high, and ordinary wild things can't jump, let alone probes, and can easily ignore the height of this fence, but that thing, this doesn't need to be argued.
It looked inside, we watched it sneaky, and after a few moments, it turned away, as mysterious as it had crept in.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"There is no way to know the exactness, but according to the time algorithm of the ancients, it should be the second watch day now, around the end of the day, which is roughly between nine and eleven o'clock in the evening." Yun Wen said.
"Okay, then you make a note, around three o'clock, come from the direction of three o'clock, stop and watch for about 3 minutes, and walk at a speed of about 60 steps per minute." I said.
"Hmmm! By the way, how do you know how many steps you've taken, and how exactly how long it's been there? Yun Wen asked.
"From the moment we crawled here, I kept counting the seconds, and on the other side I used my finger to write down the number of steps it took, and I could convert it, because it wanted to reduce its own voice, it must have deliberately slowed down its walking speed, which is not the speed at which it usually bes." I said.
After the Bigfoot was gone, we went back to the house at once, and I asked Yun Wen to draw what she had seen and heard on the stone with charcoal as a sample, so that when Bai Lu and Yingchun took over, I could easily teach them how to record them.
Because of the two-by-two shift, Yunwen and I need to keep a little more time, this early stage is good to endure, but once idle will be sleepy and tight, this is actually more tiring to keep the first half of the night, because everyone has just finished eating and tired for a day, this time is suitable for lying down and sleeping, and we are in the vigil.
Inadvertently, I yawned, and when Yun Wen saw this, she said, "You go and lie down for a while, I'll just keep it." ”
"That's not good, how can I take advantage of you? Yawning is a physiological phenomenon that cannot be controlled. I hurriedly said.
"It's not that I haven't taken it." Yun Wen joked.
But the meaning of these words seems to be more than one, as soon as these words came out, both of us immediately blushed, and the first thing I could think of was that Yunwen took the initiative to kiss me that night, the soft lips and the fragrance of the woman, at this moment I think of it can be endlessly reminiscent.
In order to break the embarrassment, I said: "Also, I've been lazy several times, or you go to sleep this time, anyway, in fact, the next thing can be done alone." ”
Yun Wen thought about it, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's okay, I'll squat for a while, and wake me up when you feel sleepy." ”
I nodded, I thought she would go up to rest on the kang, I didn't think about it, she pillowed directly on my lap, looking defenseless, and when I realized it, I remembered that I had been staring at others for a long time, after all, that face was really beautiful and moving.
I took off my coat and covered her, she smacked her mouth, her weak breathing made her body rise and fall slightly, it seemed that she was asleep...
After that, in order not to get sleepy, I tried to think about Bigfoot, and of course, according to my inertia, I thought about which direction would be more conducive to me to hide myself through tonight's data, and to be able to use this rifle to complete this sniper operation.
After staying up for a long time, I was reluctant to let Yunwen get up, but waited until the end of the class, hugged her back to the kang, and then woke up the Song sisters, and then I went to sleep without thinking about anything.
In the days that followed, we gradually figured out the movement of Bigfoot, which occasionally came early in the morning, most of the time in the evening when it came up and down, and most of the time it did not see two or three minutes before leaving, according to the pattern we recorded, it would occasionally appear in the early morning for about three to five days, and most of the time it was at night.
We speculated on two reasons, one was because the night was so easy to hide, and it felt that it was so undetectable to me, and the other was because it came at the time after our meal, because during this time we tend to stay in the house and relax our vigilance, so that it chooses this way so that we don't wake up.
As for why they sometimes come early in the morning, we don't know for the time being.
But knowing its trajectory, it's much less threatening.
I will regularly check the footprints it leaves every day, generally with Yun Wen, she has a good memory, can help me remember the most places to step on, the maximum probability will be standing in the area, I will let Yun Wen stand in that area, holding a tree branch, I remember the height difference between myself and Bigfoot, so Yun Wen holding the branch is about its height, and I am used to holding a gun at the top of the branch.
This kind of training will form a certain inertia in my sense of action, and will help me find the right angle faster at critical moments, and will not aim indiscriminately at critical times, which will definitely miss a good opportunity, and it will also make me easy to be like the treasure hunter, miss a shot, and be crushed to death by crushing the skull.
Also, if I had to fight it one day, it would probably be in the middle of the night, and I didn't know what the moonlight would be like that night, so this kind of repetitive practice would make me more likely to hit the opponent even if I was blind, so training was especially necessary, and I was training tirelessly.
Every day, I will train about the time of a stick of incense, that is, to simulate the end gun aiming, assuming that the trigger is pressed, the M16 has a "SAFE" button, I will turn it on, so as not to misfire the gun, I will try to simulate the moving shooting, positioning shooting, etc., to ensure that all situations can be predicted.
However, perhaps because spring has not yet fully arrived, the Bigfoot has not taken the attack, and has been on the sidelines, sometimes not coming, but we have never let our guard down.
The spring tide rises and falls, there will be a lot of dried shells on the sea, I will take it back, and there are some rocks on the coast, and I can find a lot of kelp on it, during this time we can also eat kelp soup, a little luckier, sometimes there will be stranded fish, which is also a gift of food, and will add some food to supplement animal protein.
In the blink of an eye, there were a lot of charcoal scratches on the wall, four vertical and one horizontal, and twelve more, which means that another two months have passed, and time has passed quickly, except for the busy Bigfoot and going out to find food, nothing strange has happened these days, and because of the arrival of spring, it didn't take much thought to eat.
It's just that I'm getting more and more confused about the situation, and because the days have dragged on, I even suspect that we are thinking too much, and the Bigfoot basically has no other intentions, maybe just to have fun.
"I said it, you guys are too suspicious, pretending to be a ghost all day long, it's not over, you have this thought, it's better to think about how to get out of this broken island, how to wait for rescue, to be honest, every day is the same, boring to death, I can't go on." Song Yingchun sat on the kang and complained.
"Zhou Bo, what my sister said also makes sense, if there is action, it should act recently, after all, it is spring, and the animal's mate search period and the like should also pass, but it has not acted for a long time, it may be in the past." Song Bailu said.
"Perhaps, but it's always better to prevent it from happening." I put it this way.
I also thought that maybe it didn't do anything to us because I had helped it reset the dislocated bone, so there was really no need to be too nervous.
"Then don't worry about it for now, unconsciously the spring has passed for a while, we haven't had the Spring Festival yet, or everyone is happy and happy today, and want to be happy?" Yun Wen said.
