Volume 1 Cruel Mercy Chapter 59 The sheep below died
Eight hundred miles of clouds and moons, thousands of miles of hasty wind, sand and snow, all in the past!
Liang Yi stood proudly on the hill with unparalleled eyes, different from a thousand years ago when he held a sword to protect the country's borders, this time he was holding a pink HelloKitty mobile phone in his hand.
Find a signal!
Unfortunately, there is not a single square!
Although it was expected, he was still a little disappointed in his heart. Whether it is in the past thousand years or in the present world, the strife between the west and the nations has never stopped, and the country cannot be intact, how can the husband sleep peacefully?
On this weathered Gobi, how many loyal and righteous people who have shed their blood for the country are buried? It's pitiful, the corpses are all over the field, and it's hard to return to the homeland!
Liang Yi's local feelings are very heavy, so much so that he can touch the scene in the face of the long yellow sand.
The undulating hills are longitudinal and tend from south to north, with a dry riverbed between the sandstones, upstream in the north and downstream in the south.
The ancients lived by the water, so they looked far away along the north, you can see the broken ruins, the ancient Silk Road connected the countries of the Western Regions with each other, and the Han State set up the capital to protect the government to manage, these ancient ruins are either post stations, or the ruins of the declining countries.
Tonight, I spent the night there to remember the feelings of loss. Am10:17 minutes, the Gobi day is long and the night is short, if it is night at 8 o'clock in the evening, there are more than 9 hours, the time is not short, and it is definitely not much to go, don't look at the distance is not far, but it must take some foot strength to walk down.
Ye Qiu is carrying a woman on his back, can he still eat?
Liang Yi smiled slightly, no matter how powerful the mutation of the X virus is, it always needs water and food to maintain body functions, this kid dares to flirt in front of him, then he is so tired that he can't speak!
He turned around and jumped directly from a hill more than ten meters high.
……
AM10:25, the three of them set off again, the dry riverbed is an excellent geographical indicator, along the riverbed all the way north, you can always see the remains of ancient buildings.
Walking is boring, at least for Liang Yi, but it is very different from Ye Qiu and Zhou Yi behind him.
Zhou Yi wiped Ye Qiu's sweat, delivered water, and used an umbrella to shade the sun, while Ye Qiu carried Zhou Yi on his back, rubbing oil when he had nothing to do, and telling a meat joke, in short, these two people talked and laughed all the way, and really regarded Liang Yi as a light bulb.
"One sunny afternoon, two crows were in love in the treetops, and they were very shy of each other, when they passed by a farmer who was herding sheep, and he tied the sheep with a rope under the tree, and went about his own business, and after a while, a wolf came and ate the sheep, and then the mother crow saw it and cried out in surprise: "......", but before the words were finished, the other male crow had sex with her. Guess what the female crow said that the male crow would dare to do such a thing? ”
While Ye Qiu asked Zhou Yi, he said to Liang Yi: "Chief Liang, why don't you guess too?" ”
Liang Yi said coldly: "I'm not interested." ”
Zhou Yi guessed for a long time and didn't guess the right answer, so he grabbed Ye Qiu's shoulder and asked, "What did that female crow say?" ”
Ye Qiu smiled lewdly: "The female crow said, 'The sheep below is dead'." ”
"The sheep down there are dead?" Zhou Yi looked dazed and carefully speculated about this sentence.
Ye Qiu smiled and asked, "Yes, the sheep below is dead, are you itching underneath?" ”
"It's a little itchy after applying iodophor, but ...... Belch! Zhou Yi suddenly realized, an elbow hit Ye Qiulinggai, and said coquettishly: "Cheap! Vulgar! Disgusting! ”
"Hahaha......" Ye Qiu laughed.
Liang Yi couldn't help but chuckle a few times, this Ye Qiu, teasing the girl is really a set.
At 12:00 AM, the sun was shining, and the earth was gradually turning into a heat wave, surrounded by only the fragrance of earth and the occasional burst of rancid stench.
"Chief Liang, where are you looking!"
Ye Qiu suddenly pointed to a bare rock in the southeast - it could be seen that 30m away, a bloody animal skeleton was hanging on a red rock boulder. At high temperatures, one of the microorganisms that disappear after the death of the animal will begin to breed, and it will begin to deteriorate within 3 hours, and decay and decompose within 6 hours...... That's where the rancid smell comes from.
"Let's go check it out." Liang Yi frowned slightly.
Zhou Yi covered his mouth and nose and said, "Let's bypass it, so as not to be infected with bacteria." ”
"It's not the center of the Gobi, there are a lot of wild carnivores wandering around, there's a very complete food chain here, we're one of those when we set foot on this land, it's hard to say whether we're predators or producers, pay attention."
Ye Qiu nodded, no matter how he usually flirted and scolded, but when he really wanted to do practical things, he would never be sloppy: "Or, you stay here, and Chief Liang and I will go to see the situation?" He asked Zhou Yi on his back.
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "Let's go!" ”
"You women are really troublesome, this is a stinking roar? You've never been to a wormhole, and the smell is stronger than tear gas. Ye Qiu carried Zhou Yi on his back and kept up with Liang Yi's pace.
The corpses were gnawed down to the skeleton, and some of the foul entrails were discarded by the predators, and the stench came mostly from them. Liang Yi approached the corpse and analyzed it while carefully examining it:
"The time of death of the corpse was only about 3 hours, judging from the bite marks on the bones, it should be a sharp tooth, judging from the depth of the bite, the murderer should be a canine, judging from the messy bite and the size of the animal carcass, the murderer should be a social animal...... Combined with geographical location and various factors," Liang Yi took a deep breath and spit out a name of awe and disgust: "Steppenwolf." ”
Wolves are ferocious species, ferocious, tenacious, united, and ruthless! In ancient times, the people of the Western Regions inherited the wolf road, worshiped the wolf as a god, set up a wolf totem, and proclaimed themselves a wolf clan, bloodthirsty and ferocious, brave and good at fighting!
Ye Qiu frowned, looked left and right, and began to be vigilant.
"Wolf...... What kind of animal is this corpse, sir? Zhou Yi couldn't help but shudder, pointing to the corpse that had been eaten and asked.
"This is supposed to be an adult Gobi bear."
"Bears in the desert...... It seems to be a national first-class protected animal. Zhou Yi said.
"Well, now he's someone else's meal."
Liang Yi used his sword to remove the remaining fur, and the length and width were about 50cm after pulling and pulling, and the bear's mane was very warm, so it was suitable as a small blanket to keep out the cold. He draped the blanket over his shoulders and let the sun dry, "Let's go, pay attention to the dynamics around you, it seems that the murderer has only been gone for less than 3 hours, and it is very likely that he is wandering around." He reminded and continued to lead the way.
Ye Qiu hurriedly followed and sighed lightly: "It is said that bears are one of the three most ferocious animals in the world, but I didn't expect to die at the hands of wolves, alas...... It's really hard to beat four hands with two fists. ”
"Steppenwolves rarely act alone, they don't eat vegetarian, as long as it's meat, they won't be picky, any powerful species will be doomed as long as they are targeted by wolves, even if they can't beat you, they will follow you silently, Steppenwolf's endurance is stronger than any animal, they can boil you to death,"
Liang Yi stopped, pointed to the rows of footprints on the ground with his sword, and said, "These are the footprints of Steppenwolf, in terms of numbers, they are by no means three musketeers, but a group of outlaws. Wolves that move together of 10 or more are called wolf packs, there are at least 2-30 footprints here, and fresh feces - there should be water near the dry riverbed, wolves are not animals that move frequently, they are very intelligent, they know that any animal cannot do without water, they have a keen sense of smell, they can smell food,"
At this point, he sucked deeply. took a sip of the dry air around him, closed his eyes and savored it, distinguished, analyzed, and finally raised his hand to the northwest corner and said: "They are 1 kilometer away, they are hiding from the heat after a full meal, and there are still undried blood stains on their mouths." ”
Ye Qiu shrugged his nose and began to suck Liang Yi's appearance, "Liang ...... Sir Liang, Huhu...... I...... I feel that my sense of smell is also very sensitive, why can't I smell the wolf. Smell? ”
Liang Yi licked his index finger, raised it for a moment, and said slowly: "There was a southeast wind blowing just now, and it just happened to bring the breath." The so-called sense of smell is to distinguish and determine the position by capturing irregular molecular movements, and with the human sense of smell, if there is no wind, no matter how strong the sense of smell is, it will not be able to smell the smell thousands of miles away. ”
Ye Qiu pursed his lips and no longer inhaled, but Zhou Yi whispered in his ear: "Chief Liang is too good, right?" ”
Ye Qiu said softly: "Do you look at his appearance, like a braggart?" ”
"Ye Qiu, you continue to look, what are the traces here besides the footprints of the wolves?" Liang Yi asked with a smile as he walked while pointing to the surface of the riverbed.
After asking this question, Ye Qiu and Zhou Yi both lowered their heads and carefully explored the surface of the riverbed, and after a while, their eyes lit up at the same time, as if they had discovered a new continent:
"Traces of wheels!"
"Clever," Liang Yi smiled, and bought a pass first: "Let's test you, why are there traces of wheels here?" ”
Zhou Yi was the first to guess: "It may be a self-driving trip for travelers, you must know that young people nowadays like challenges and adventures." ”
Ye Qiu immediately retorted: "Where is there anyone who has nothing to do to come to the Gobi Desert for a self-driving trip, even if it is a challenge, it is a variety show of 'only bringing a knife', or 'single-handedly picking up the wilderness for 10 days' or something." I guess...... Eighty percent of them came to rob tombs. ”
Zhou Yi denied: "Impossible, now that the national law is so strict, poaching and robbing tombs is a capital crime, where does anyone dare to blatantly drive to rob tombs?" Besides, do you think you're staging a plot from a tomb robbery novel? There's a superb ancient city in this desert, isn't it? ”
Liang Yi added: "There are indeed exquisite countries, and the ghost cave people also exist, and they did not die from natural disasters as in the novel, but were annexed by neighboring countries, which led to the disappearance of civilization," and said this, he raised his hand and pointed to the west: "From this direction, the gravel of the Gobi will gradually become thinner, and the bare rock will gradually disappear, and when the yellow sand replaces the gravel, and the sand dunes replace the bare rock, then the Taklamakan Desert will also arrive." ”
Gu Yicheng once said that the three sleeping "savages" were dug into the westernmost "no man's land" in China. Gu Yicheng did not say where the specific location of the "No Man's Land" was, but Liang Yi guessed that it should be in these large deserts in the west, either the Gobi or the Taklamakan .
"The topic goes back to the speculation just now - the dry riverbed is easier to shape than the gravel beach, and the traces of the wheels are very deep, and there are also traces of slippage, so it can be roughly guessed that it should have rained on the day of the drive, causing the riverbed to be soft and soft."
Liang Yi bent down to pick up a few stones that were incompatible with the riverbed, polished to a very smooth, pale yellow color, half the size of a palm, checked them at hand, and affirmed:
"These people are here to pan for gold in the Gobi."
If nothing else, we may meet them, if there is an accident, they are likely to be left with bones, if there is an accident, we may well have a car,
