Chapter 61: The Baby's Cry
From the winter to the present, the wheat is basically about to ripen, but Yunwen and I are also counting, and the time is indeed enough, but it still needs to take ten days and half a month before it can be considered completely ripe, and the ears of wheat can grow full, and it is good to be able to lower the head.
I also hope that the deterioration of the situation will be slowed down, so that we can have more time to hold on until the wheat is fully ripe and harvested, although this is very dangerous, because it is equivalent to gambling on our own lives, and if it is not big, we may all die in the mouths of the beasts that come from the danger zone.
It's an all-or-nothing approach.
Over the past few days, I've stepped up my patrols, patrolling the neighborhood during the day to see if there are any other footprints I don't recognize, or smelling wolf urine, and at night we're going back to the two-person system.
Luckily, I haven't noticed anything unusual lately, the forest is still filled with wild dogs, jackals, wolves and other dung, everything is still the same, there are no footprints of other things, and there is no movement during the night vigil, which also relaxes our tense hearts a little.
What Song Yingchun said is not unreasonable, the wild wolf can't go down the fault three or four meters high, maybe because of this, it is difficult for them to cross the jujube forest and are blocked at a high place, so everything seems to be fine.
In the past few days, I have also checked the wheat situation, perhaps it is the snow that "covers three layers of winter cover" to give a special momentum, even if it is not fully ripe, the ears of wheat have been obviously full, and they lowered their heads, and now it has been a week since they met the wolves, and if you want to say that the harvest, tomorrow is almost the same, but I think maybe it will be okay to hold on for another half a month, so I still plan to stand up again.
On this night, after Bai Lu finished making dinner, it was still those wild vegetables with bone broth, and a small plate of slate beef, which was a meal with meat and vegetables, and everyone also ate very happily, and the food was in the mouth, and everyone's mood was also a lot more relaxed, and they began to relax their vigilance for the matter that we thought was very serious.
Even if it is vigilant, it is just a superficial effort, meaning and meaning, but in psychology, everyone is actually the same as me, agreeing with Song Yingchun's statement, preferring to believe that the wild wolf is trapped and can't come down, and other changes in the situation caused by the death of Bigfoot are just empty talk.
There is only one exception, and that is Bai Lu.
"Zhou Bo, have you noticed anything unusual these days?" Bai Lu asked me.
"No, I'm supposed to wander around, I've walked around, there is no sign of the wolves coming, I think they have long been used to their previous core hunting area, and they won't change rashly, so the last time we saw them, it was just an accident." I said.
"Sister Bai Lu, I have written down all the situations you asked me to write down in the past few days, and there is basically nothing to pay attention to, but I remember that you told me the morning before yesterday that you heard a faint baby-like cry, but then you changed your words and said that there were auditory hallucinations, and this is the only thing in the past week." Yun Wen said.
"Baby crying? Now that we have been away from the civilized world for a long time, and Bai Lu is also unmarried and single, it stands to reason that even if you are auditory hallucinations, you usually only hear some familiar voices, how can you hear the baby's cry? This is unlikely. I asked.
"Don't think about it, it may be the sound of wild cats courting in the spring, don't always be alarmist, just say listen to me, let's stay okay? I have to go to the place where I want to smoke people to death and stink to death, not to find self-abuse. Yingchun said.
"In the spring, danger must be prepared in advance before it happens, otherwise it will be too late to react when something happens. Zhou Bo, I have seen the growth of wheat, you don't have to hide it from everyone, is it ripe and ready to be harvested? If so, we'd better prepare now and stop delaying any more luck. Bai Lu said.
This Bai Lu looks very abnormal, logically speaking, she will not easily refute her sister, and always follows Xiao Yingchun to say, today is the opposite, we agree with what Yingchun said, but Bai Lu was the first to disagree, I always think she may have noticed something in advance, but she didn't tell us.
I didn't answer immediately, because I didn't want to move out of here easily, and at least outside of Bailu, we all had great feelings for this place, and we were reluctant to leave easily.
"I think, as a last resort, we don't have to hold on for a few days?" I said.
Yun Wen and Yingchun immediately nodded like pounding garlic, while Song Bailu slapped the table, stood up angrily, and said: "You are being raised in captivity by your comfort zone, don't forget, this is the wild, not your rural earthen house!" ”
With that, she got up and left, leaving the three of us looking at each other.
It didn't take long for Yun Wen to go out to appease Song Bailu, and it was the first time I saw her so angry.
"Has your sister ever been so angry before?" I asked about the arrival of spring.
"No, she has always been kind to everyone, rarely see her lose her temper, the only time I saw her lose her temper, or because a male classmate stalked me, didn't listen to the warning, that time she was very angry, and beat people, and later because of this, she apologized to the family afterwards, and it took a lot of money and a lot of money to settle the relationship." Yingchun said.
After an unpleasant meal, I thought that Song Bailu would gradually become more relaxed because of everyone's attitude, so I didn't care about it.
After this dinner, I was waiting for Yun Wen and Bai Lu to come back, planning to arrange tonight's shift, to be honest, I also planned to work in one shift, so that everyone could have more time to sleep, anyway, this week, I didn't encounter anything abnormal.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the two of them come back, according to Song Bailu's character, she has a very good control over her emotions, and she pays great attention to self-preservation, staying outside for a long time and not coming in, putting her own and dangerous things, I believe others, but Bai Lu's words, I don't believe that she will do this.
Since she wouldn't be like that, but she stayed out and didn't come back, could it be?
"Oh no, something must have happened!" I hurriedly said.
"Don't be surprised, maybe you're in a bad mood, why are you always..."Song Yingchun didn't finish speaking, but he was just as surprised by the sound outside.
Wow! Wow -
I only heard the baby's crying cry is particularly loud, just like the child who has just come out is waiting to be fed, the sound is not very far, and my ears are also extraordinarily good, I can listen very carefully, this sound is very different from the wild cat when looking for a mate**, the former is strong and loud, the howl is tight and somewhat interrupted, and the latter is continuous, with a glissando.
Therefore, on this alone, I can be absolutely sure that the croaker is not a wild cat, nor is it an ordinary thing, but rather a baby spirit that appears out of nowhere.
I glanced at Yingchun and said, "Listen, just stay here, stay by the campfire, and wait for me to come back." ”
She closed her lips, looked at me in a daze, and nodded.
I picked up the gun and quietly walked out, looking for Yun Wen and Bai Lu everywhere, and I could hear the baby's cry from time to time.
It's weird!
And I was walking, and suddenly a pull pulled me down, and I didn't have time to open the shell window of the gun, and the gun was not ready to fire, and I immediately felt in my heart...
