Chapter 7
Professor Zhang felt that Director Jin was playing tricks, and he jokingly said, "Come on, old Jin." You don't want to sit on the ground and raise the price, do you? We are all people of the country, and we can't do such things. ”
Pavilion Director Jin shook his head and said seriously, "This is also my rule. I would like to say that I cannot guarantee that you will be taken to your destination 100 percent of your expectations. But as long as you follow my arrangement, I can guarantee that you will be brought back safely. ”
Professor Zhang didn't say anything for a while, but just nodded, indicating that he knew.
Liu Zhao and the two looked at each other, and they didn't dare to talk.
Qi Yuancheng felt that it was a little unlucky for Curator Jin to suddenly say this, but he couldn't find anything wrong. He felt a little embarrassed in the atmosphere, so he had to open his mouth to break the deadlock: "Director Jin, you are too modest. We haven't deviated from the right direction so far, and you'll be fine with us every step of the way. ”
Seeing that everyone was nervous, Director Jin said, "I'm just telling you about it as a rule." For wild adventures, everyone must have a sense of teamwork and follow the arrangements of the guide. Don't be so nervous. ”
When everyone heard Curator Jin say this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Only Qi Yuancheng was still carefully savoring Curator Jin's words, and since the adventure in the water just now, there was always a shadow lingering in his heart.
Qi Yuancheng secretly tried the source field power again, and what made him happy was that his source field power seemed to have recovered most of it, although there was still a gap between it and before he came to Northeast Province, it was also much smoother. After he put his mind at ease, he began to quietly distract himself from exercising the Origin Field Force.
Along the way, everyone's march was quite smooth, and it didn't seem to be as difficult as Director Jin's "alarmist". As time went by, while everyone was tired, the defense line in their hearts slowly relaxed, and their spirits were not so highly concentrated.
Suddenly, Curator Jin, who was leading the way at the front, stopped, and motioned for everyone to stop and silence. He tilted his ears to listen carefully. And the people listened as he did. Sure enough, a rustle of grass came from the side of everyone.
Professor Zhang and Director Jin made eye contact. Curator Jin motioned to Professor Zhang to the backpack behind him, and Professor Zhang opened the backpack softly in tacit agreement and flipped inside. Suddenly, his face froze, and he took something out of it with a look of incredulity.
Qi Yuancheng and Liu Zhao's eyes widened when they saw it, and they were speechless. It turned out to be a pistol.
When Director Jin saw that Professor Zhang and the others were "admiring" the pistol, he couldn't help but snatch the gun from Professor Zhang's hand with some annoyance, open the safety and aim ahead, and angrily told everyone to stay on guard.
It took a while for the woods and bushes to fall silent.
Curator Jin wiped the sweat from his head, put away his pistol, and then said to everyone, "A large animal approached us just now. But it was found that we were very vigilant, so after observing us for a while, he quietly left. ”
Liu Zhi was surprised, and he asked, "Director Jin, is it the Northeast Provincial Tiger?" ”
Director Jin said noncommittally: "I didn't see it, so I don't dare to jump to conclusions." ”
Professor Zhang pointed to the gun in Director Jin's hand and asked, "How can you have such a guy?" This is a genuine contraband! ”
Director Jin said proudly: "You don't care about this, I have my own means." ”
Professor Zhang's eyes were a little red, and he said almost as follows: "Lao Jin, you still have great powers, and it is really wise to ask you for help this time." Do you still have extra guys? Lend me a hand for self-defense? ”
Curator Jin put away the pistol in his hand and said, "No! That's it! I'm in charge of it! ”
Professor Zhang said curtly: "It's okay to borrow it from me." ”
Qi Yuancheng and Liu Zhao were also stunned, they didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous Curator Jin would be able to come up with such a powerful guy.
Curator Jin checked around again and said, "The footprints you guys who came to see here were left by the big guy just now. ”
Professor Zhang and the others took a closer look, and sure enough, several beast footprints larger than a human slap were deeply imprinted on the soil. Professor Zhang said: "This is the Northeast Provincial Tiger? ”
Professor Kim said, "I think it's a leopard. There is a leopard in the mountains and forests of Northeast Province, although it is not as domineering as a tiger, but it is also a large beast that we cannot easily provoke. It was alert, and when it saw that we were outnumbered, it quietly retreated. But we still have to be very careful, and we must not be left alone. ”
In this way, under the leadership of Pavilion Director Jin, everyone walked and stopped in the primeval forest for three days and three nights. Along the way, they used marching rations as their main supplies, occasionally collecting some wild fruits under the guidance of Director Jin to change their taste, and they came across small rivers and streams, and they could also catch some small fish. But over and over again, everyone felt a little tired.
When preparing lunch on the fourth day, Liu Zhi couldn't help but say to Director Jin: "Director Jin, we have eaten compressed biscuits for three days, and everyone feels a little monotonous and wants to improve it." Can you take us to hunt some game to eat? ”
When Curator Jin heard this, his face immediately sank. He said loudly to Liu Zhi: "Xiao Liu, we are here to investigate, not to camp. Don't always think about eating and drinking. ”
Liu Zhi was a little embarrassed by Director Jin's reprimand, and he said curtly: "Isn't it just to hunt some game, and it's not troublesome." ”
Curator Jin said even more angrily: "The forest where we are now has never been set foot by humans. Most of the wildlife inside is protected animals. We can't kill innocent animals for the sake of our own appetites! ”
Professor Zhang heard Curator Jin's loud voice at this time, and hurriedly came over to play a round and said, "Old Jin, children are just curious. If you can't eat it, don't eat it. Xiao Liu, you go to the neighborhood to find some wild fruits, mushrooms or something, and we'll open a can of meat soup at noon. ”
Liu Zhi fled as if he was about to be amnesty, looking for ingredients.
Qi Yuancheng's impression of Curator Jin has changed again, and it seems that this seemingly raunchy, casual and casual Curator still has a compassionate heart. He walked over and asked Director Jin, "Director Jin, you said that this forest is full of protected animals, can you tell me what they are?" ”
Director Jin was diverted from the topic by Qi Yuancheng, and his anger disappeared a lot. He said: "The big one is the Siberian tiger, you know that, right?" There are also black bears and the Amur leopard that saw footprints before. These three are the largest and most apex trappers. He stretched out his arms and measured them, signaling that the animals were huge. Then he said, "The smaller carnivores are the mink and the badger." It's not a threat, but don't provoke them. Then there are some herbivorous deer and roe deer. But it's strange to say. We didn't see many herbivores in the past three days. Oh yes! He seemed to think of something, and said, "The most difficult thing in this forest is the wild boar." ”
