Chapter 22: Screaming in the Mountains
The resentment was not a favorable mood in such wild conditions, and after a little relief, I went back to the house.
When Bai Lu saw me coming back, she immediately came over and said, "My sister has already reflected, Zhou Bo, I'm sorry for giving you so much trouble... When my mother was pregnant with her, she was already an advanced maternal age, and then she encountered dystocia, and my father chose to keep small in the matter of keeping big or small, and my mother died on the hospital bed, so my father doted on her very much, from a psychological point of view, it should also make up for the debt to my mother, and I began to take care of this sister since I was eight years old, according to my father's requirements, meticulously take care of her, and not let her have a little grievance. ”
"Bai Lu, our living conditions are like that, this is not your home, what your father told you won't work." I sighed.
Bai Lu nodded and said, "But the little girl is listening to you now, and she is going to get another set of earthen bowls, and she will compensate you." ”
"She was scared. What about Yun Wen? What about her? I asked.
"Her condition seems to have worsened, a little depressed, I'll give some medicine later, rest assured." Bai Lu said.
"Well, then I'll discuss with you today's arrangements by the way, Yunwen will take good care of her first, don't let her move, and then you will salt the sea fish, and the girl in Yingchun will let her bake some earthen bowls again, and see if you can get a soil funnel of about thirty centimeters, and then a earthen pot of the same size, with a height of more than twenty centimeters, I will go to the beach in a while, get some salt, and need to saw some firewood to make a fence, so as not to trample on the wheat field at night." I said.
"Okay, then you go early and come back early, be careful." Bai Lu said.
I took my backpack and a saw with my morning kit, and went to the beach, intending to continue to get some fine salt, this time in a plastic bag for food, which I used to make the final salt, and I got about the same thumb as much, and the sun was already starting to wane, and I had other things to do, so I left it at that.
After tying up the fine salt and putting it in my backpack, I went back the way I came, went to the tall woods by the way, climbed the tree and sawed down the branches, I couldn't hold much in one hand, and I was going to do it in small quantities and many times, so I went back with these.
It's just that when I'm doing this, I have some heart palpitations in my heart inexplicably, somehow.
When I returned to the old house of Living Spring, the sun had set, but I saw Bai Lu's eyes running towards me in a panic, I thought she was here to take things back for me, and was about to hand her some, she immediately pushed it away, and said anxiously: "Zhou Bo, you have to believe me, Yingchun and I really didn't do anything, it was Zhang Yunwen who left by herself!" ”
"Gone? Where did it go? I hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, I'm boiling some herbs for her to dispel stasis, I didn't pay attention to her, and when I went to the house to look for her, she was gone, I didn't find it anywhere, she wore the whistle, we couldn't blow it, and Yingchun and I didn't dare to go out, so we could only wait for you to come back." Song Bailu said.
"Oh, don't look for it according to me, she has to leave by herself, no one forced her, she feels indebted to you Zhou Bo, obviously her husband is still taking advantage of your feelings, so she can't figure it out and walks away, just saving one person's meal, and the three of us can eat a little more per meal." Song Yingchun said.
I caught fire, but I didn't have a seizure, I threw down the package and was about to look for her, but Song Bailu grabbed me and said: "Zhou Bo, my sister's words are not rude, now it is about to get dark, you will only harm yourself when you go out to find her, and this is indeed her own choice, why should you be persistent?" Besides, to put it mildly, she is someone else's wife, what do you care about that idle thing? ”
"That's it, to support a wife for someone else, or to occupy **? Think clearly, don't be fat and thin. "Song Yingchun said how ugly it sounded.
At this time, Song Bailu slowly walked towards me and said, "Don't be the stewardess in your eyes, think about it, you left, what should I do with Yingchun at night?" Aren't you afraid that we will be eaten by wild beasts? ”
"No matter whose wife she is, she is still my teammate, it is natural to protect her teammates, it is not as dirty as you say, as for you, either go with me to find someone, or stay at home, protect the fire, there is a fence to protect it, and no wild beasts will invade." I said.
With that, I put down my luggage, grabbed my torch and went out.
The sisters will not go with me, and they will stay where it is safe.
What Song Bailu and I said, Yun Wen must have heard it, so it is unlikely that she would be bumped into by me on the coast, she didn't notify anyone, and still ran away while I was out, it must be because she didn't want everyone to know, so she would only go in one direction, that is, the direction of the jujube grove in the opposite direction to me, and the direction I took her to once, the mountain road on the fault before, there was a soil hole where we hid from the rain, I think eighty percent went there.
I didn't think much about it and went there, and there were really Yunwen's thirty-nine yard footprints, she was a flight attendant, tall, and her foot size was relatively large among girls, so it was easy to identify.
I immediately followed the established direction, I ran, I felt a lot of guilt in my heart, after all, she fled, and I also had part of the responsibility, she was so dependent on me, but I couldn't stand her anger, I must feel uncomfortable.
Running forward, check whether there are still footprints from time to time, but soon the clue is broken, and her footprints are not found on the road ahead, the soil here is almost the same, there is no reason why the road before is, there is no here, is it possible to hide nearby?
I took the torch and looked around for clues, but I saw that there was a large footprint on the right side, which was probably some kind of primate creature's footprint, similar to a human, and the footprint was extremely deep.
But Yun Wen's footprints ended here, and this footprint happened to appear here, which is a simple inference to know what is going on.
At this time, I carefully crouched down and listened to the ground, and sure enough, I could hear a great movement, and the direction should be on the right side.
I immediately drew my bayonet, sweated nervously, and followed along, and the closer I got to the woods, the more I could hear it, and there was such a great movement that the wild beasts did not dare to approach easily, and I saw that some wild dogs had retreated more than two feet away from me, which showed that they were very afraid of this thing.
Not to mention them, there are a hundred in my heart that I don't want to keep up, and the fear in my bones makes me almost unable to move.
Closer, it's walking, I'm running, the distance between us is getting closer, I hear Yunwen's gasp, she seems to be out of breath.
"Zhang Yunwen, if you are here, just answer." I shouted.
At this time, the loud footsteps stopped, and the thing seemed to hear my voice, and I felt the urge to run, but thinking that Yun Wen was in her hands, I still stood still, and tried to muster up my courage.
I continued to get closer, and saw that not far ahead was a high mountain cliff, which was also the other side of the fault, and here was a cliff leading directly to the top of the mountain, and the distance between the top and bottom was more than a dozen stories high, and the slope was extremely steep, and it was not an exaggeration to count it as the bottom of the abyss of the mountain cliff.
"Zhou Bo..."Yun Wen's voice came, but it seemed to be choked by the throat.
Then the footsteps began again, and I heard it leaning against me, not on my side, and in the moonlight, the long, enormous figure reflected from the corner of the woods, and shone on the ground, making me shudder.
"Run!" This is what Yun Wen didn't say just now, and now she says it...
