Chapter 146: The Former Wolf and the Tiger
When the people in the room heard the words of the old chief's secretary, their faces all changed.
After all, the old chief had seen strong winds and waves, and although his heart was as painful as a knife, his expression was not flustered, and he took the phone very calmly and asked, "Lin Meng, what is going on?" ”
"Dad, Su Cheng, who had just gone on an expedition with Xiaoxue, called home and said that they entered Xionghu Mountain yesterday morning, but they didn't expect it to suddenly snow heavily at noon, and there was a strong wind. They braved the wind and snow to climb a mountain peak and prepare to camp on the spot. Unexpectedly, a tiger suddenly appeared in front of them. Xiaoxue had already left their group about 100 meters at that time, just in time to meet the tiger head-on. In a panic, the light snow rolled down the hillside on the left, and rolled straight down the mountain. The tiger didn't chase Xiaoxue, and rushed straight towards Su Cheng, scaring them so much that they turned around and ran lifelessly......
Later, Su Cheng and the others ran to the management committee of the reserve at the bottom of the mountain to ask for help. The management committee of the reserve immediately notified the local police station. There were only two police officers on duty at the police station, because Xionghu Mountain was full of fierce beasts, and they did not dare to rush up the mountain to rescue. So until now, the people of the management committee and the local police have only searched for a while near the mountain where Xiaoxue and the others had an accident, but Xiaoxue is no longer on the slope of the mountain.
This morning, I have already called Comrade Qi Yuliang, secretary of the provincial party committee of Sichuan Province, and he promised to arrange for the police to go all out to search and rescue in the mountains. I am now rushing to the airport with Ning Ning, and it is estimated that I will be able to reach the provincial capital of Sichuan at 5 p.m. ”
The old chief was originally supporting himself, but at this moment, he heard Lin Meng say that Lin Xue had not heard from him for twenty-four hours, and Xiong Hu Mountain was now violent by wind and snow, but he was afraid that she was now fierce and unlucky, so he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and suddenly he burst into tears......
Lin Xue, Su Cheng and others entered Xionghu Mountain at 11 a.m. on the fourth day of the first lunar month.
Originally, according to Su Cheng and others, it was winter now, and it was not suitable for outdoor mountaineering adventure activities, so they didn't want to go. Helplessly, Lin Xue came back from Lengxi Village full of jealousy, her mood was very low, she couldn't stay at home, she insisted on going now, and said vigorously: "It's the New Year, and the managers of Xionghushan must be on vacation, so we can just take advantage of it." If in the summer, they have people patrolling the mountains every day, and there are people guarding all the entrances to the mountains, how can we go into the mountains?"
Su Cheng felt that what she said made sense, so they went to check the weather conditions in Xionghu Mountain in the past few days. After checking, he learned that there would be a snowstorm there today, so he persuaded Lin Xue not to go.
Lin Xue heard that there was a snowstorm over there, and she originally dispelled the idea of going. But on the night of her third year of junior high school, she called him with a sneer, wanting to ask him about his fight with the assassins. Sneer Xiaotian was hesitant on the phone, and he wanted to hang up the phone after saying two sentences. She knew that it was because of Su Xiaodan by his side, so she couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and after scolding him a few words of "dead peasant" on the phone, she immediately made up her mind: I will go to Xionghu Mountain tomorrow!
The reason why she made this risky decision was that if she didn't want to divert her thoughts now, and thought about the affectionate and sweet scene of Sneng Xiaotian and Su Xiaodan in Lengxi Village every day, she might collapse and go crazy! She even thought sadly: If she died in Xionghu Mountain, I wonder if Leng Xiaotian, a dead person with no conscience, would be sad and shed tears for her?
When she thought of the grief-stricken and regretful look that might occur if she died, she felt a burst of relief in her heart, so she was even more determined to go to Xionghu Mountain tomorrow......
As for Su Cheng, they were completely coerced by Lin Xue's coercion: Su Cheng never dared to disobey Lin Xue's will, and the other few people were only Su Cheng's followers - because Su Cheng's family was rich and generous, he often took them out to eat, drink, have fun and travel, and all expenses were covered by him alone. Therefore, wherever Su Cheng goes, they will follow......
They took a plane to the provincial capital of Sichuan Province at 5 a.m., arrived at the local airport in two hours, chartered two taxis, drove four hours to the foot of Xionghu Mountain, and immediately carried their mountaineering equipment up the mountain......
Xionghu Mountain is located in the north of Sichuan Province, only more than 300 kilometers away from the provincial capital, but it is one of the famous primeval forest reserves in China, and it is also a world-famous tiger and black bear protection base. From the foot of the mountain, Xionghu Mountain is stacked with mountains and towering into the clouds, stretching from west to east, with no end in sight.
Lin Xue and the people chose a climbing site on a small mountain entrance about three kilometers northwest of the management committee of the reserve. From here, a small mountain road winds its way up to several higher and higher peaks in the middle of Xionghu Mountain.
After more than an hour's trek, they reached the mouth of a canyon where two mountain peaks are connected. An arched mountain beam hangs over the canyon. If you look at this mountain beam from the bottom of the canyon, it is like a skilled craftsman built a ghostly arched stone bridge on the canyon, and there are many dead vines and pines and cypresses hanging down from the stone bridge, like two bridge curtains hanging for the stone bridge. Underneath the canyon is a fast-flowing river. Although it is winter, the river is still very deep, looking down from above, I can see the water splashing in the river, the waves crashing on the shore, although it is separated by dozens of meters high, you can still hear the sound of "rumbling" below.
A few people lingered on the stone bridge, took pictures, and then climbed to the higher peak opposite.
When I climbed halfway up the mountain, the sky, which was already howling in the wind, suddenly fluttered and snowed heavily.
Lin Xue and the others looked up at the top of the mountain in front of them, and decided to camp halfway up the mountain, and wait for the snow to stop before climbing to the top.
So, they stopped on a slightly flat hillside. Lin Xue went ahead alone to see if there was a more leeward place, and just walked out of a hundred meters, he heard a thrilling "whoosh" roar from the grass in front of him, and then, a colorful tiger suddenly appeared only about three meters away from Lin Xue, staring at Lin Xue with blue tiger eyes.
Fortunately, the tigers in this reserve generally do not actively attack and prey on humans. The tiger, who had just eaten a full meal of venison, was eating in the grass when he heard a noise, and at the same time let out a threatening roar from his mouth, reminding the uninvited guests that this was his territory, and that he should not come to harass him!
Of course, Lin Xue didn't know what the tiger was thinking, and when she saw a big tiger suddenly appear in front of her, the first thought in her heart was: It's over!
But although she was frightened, she was not stunned. After seeing the tiger standing still, she immediately reacted, fell down the slope on the right, and then rolled down the hill by inertia......
And after Su Cheng and the others saw that it was a big tiger that came out of the grass, no one cared about Lin Xue, who was confronting the tiger, and they all turned around and ran down the mountain without their lives......
Su Cheng ran to the edge of the canyon, only to remember that they had left Lin Xue alone on the hillside, and hesitated at his feet. But as soon as he thought of the big tiger with a huge body and blue eyes, he was terrified in his heart, and he couldn't think about Lin Xue anymore, and followed the people in front of him to quickly cross the mountain beam that was erected on the canyon and ran down the mountain......
Lin Xue rolled down from the halfway point of the mountain, and the mountaineering bag was also thrown off during the rolling. After rolling for about a hundred meters, her body was stopped by a big pine tree, and although she stopped rolling, her main point was hit hard by the pine tree pole, and she couldn't climb up in pain.
She lay on the ground for a few minutes, gasping for air, feeling like the bones were falling apart. Especially in the lower back, when I move a little, I feel a pain like a heart.
Fearing that the tiger would catch up, she gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and struggled to stand up with the pine pole, then folded a wooden stick beside her, and walked step by step to the edge of the canyon on the lower right.
As she was leaving, she shouted at the top of her voice from time to time: "Su Cheng, where are you? Come and pick me up!"
However, even as she shouted at the top of her voice, there was no sound around her, only gusts of wind echoing her shouts......
Because of the pain all over the body, especially in the lower back, it was as if it was about to break at any time, and it took a lot of effort to barely hold back the pain that penetrated into the bone marrow with every step. Step by step, by the time she reached the edge of the canyon, it was already dark, and it was estimated that it should be about six o'clock in the afternoon.
She looked at the edge of the canyon and saw that the narrow mountain beam was still about 500 meters above her right hand, and there was only one way to cross the canyon. So, with her stick on her hand, she struggled to the upper right.
At this time, the wind is blowing more and more fiercely, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier. The wind carried the cold snowflakes and kept burrowing into her neck. The red down jacket she was wearing had been covered with a thick layer of snow. It's the same on his head, although he wears a down hat, but he is also soaked with snowflakes.
At this time, she felt cold and hungry, she no longer had any strength in her body, her voice was hoarse, and she could barely make a sound.
After barely walking a few steps ahead, she suddenly heard an earth-shattering "whine" tiger roar behind her, and the whistling sound seemed to be much closer to her side in an instant, it is estimated that the big tiger sniffed her breath and chased after her, and she couldn't help but panic in her heart, and quickly struggled to go forward.
When she turned a small corner, there was a sudden sound of small beast footsteps in the grass in front of her, and before she could stop, she saw three wolves suddenly emerge from the pile of winter thatch, standing five meters away from her, and the six yellow-green wolf eyes flashed greedily, all of them were towering, and bared sharp wolf teeth at her......
