Chapter 20: Freshwater Lake
The next day, we all got up at dawn, and after a brief packing and preparation, we went our separate ways. I think Uncle Song is right, you really can't be idle on this island, when you are idle, you are easy to think cranky, and all kinds of negative emotions disturb people.
Uncle Wei took the bearded man to the beach to fish, before leaving, I told Uncle Wei that it was best to walk around the glasses man's gang, and Uncle Wei smiled and said it didn't matter, if you really started, one beard could top four or five. And I went with Big Bear and Lin Ruyi to find food.
The three of us went to the creek and went up the stream, and according to the map, there was a large freshwater lake upstream of the creek, from which the freshwater resources of the entire island originated.
After walking along the stream for a distance, the traces of animal activities by the stream began to become frequent, and from time to time you could see a few animals like elk, and the big bear was probably hungry and crazy, and rolled up his sleeves to go up to catch them, but those things were timid and ruthless, and when they saw us, they turned around and ran, and we couldn't even see the shadow of a deer before we were loaded.
I comforted the bear and said, "Don't worry, there are more animals at the lake, although we are hungry, but the requirements for the quality of life can not be reduced, and if you want to eat, you have to eat the wild boar with the delicious meat." ”
Da Xiong said disdainfully, "Come on, old Han, don't dream, you think all wild boars are stupid, the last time it was purely by mistake, and now if there is really a wild boar, it is estimated that it is us who will turn around and run." ”
I said, "Big Bear, why don't you have any self-confidence, that's a wild boar and not a second senior brother, you can still run out of my palm without thirty-six changes?" Besides, don't we still have a wishful girl, her marksmanship is more accurate than my target shooting in the army. ”
Lin Ruyi smiled, "Don't compliment me, I said that for the moving target, I was completely blind by luck." And if we encounter a large wild boar, our guns may not be able to hurt it at a long distance, so it is best not to act rashly for a while. ”
As we chatted, we walked deeper into the island along the elevated terrain, and finally after turning a dense forest, an open freshwater lake appeared in front of us.
The waters of the freshwater lake are really not small, the whole surface of the lake is sparkling, the water is deep and secluded, and there is a rolling hill on one side of the lake.
There are a lot of various animals drinking water near the lake, large and small, and these are cute wild animals in normal times, but now it will be a completely mobile lunch.
The big bear stretched out his finger and pointed to an animal that looked like a sheep not far away, and said to Lin Ruyi with a hara, "Sister Ruyi, how about we eat shabu mutton at noon?" Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a few drops of white sticky dirt dripped onto his arm, and the big bear was startled, and quickly retracted his hand and scolded, "I'll go, what's the matter?" ”
When we looked up, we saw a gray chicken-like thing falling on the branch above our heads, and it was the excrement of the bear that dripped on its arm.
The big bear was angry, and jumped up to catch the pheasant, but the branches were too high, and the big bear could not touch it with his hands when he raised his hands to feed, and the pheasant looked at the big bear with disdain, fluttered his wings, and clucked a few times and flew to the other branches.
The bear still wanted to chase it, so I quickly stopped him and said, "Forget it, you can't compete with a pheasant, and you can't catch it if it's flying around in the air, so let's keep our minds on the sheep." ”
Those sheep-like animals were drinking water by the lake, and they didn't seem to notice the movement on our side, Lin Ruyi raised her gun and aimed at it for a long time and didn't dare to shoot easily, because she knew very well that if this shot went down, the animals by the lake would probably be scared away, and if they couldn't hit, they wouldn't be able to catch anything.
After making sure again, Lin Ruyi finally pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out of the chamber with a bang, whistling through the air and shooting at the sheep, and the sheep who were drinking water fell to the ground with a pop before they could react.
I was so excited that I almost didn't hug Lin Ruyi, this girl's marksmanship is really good, and Da Xiong couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, racking his brains to turn out all the four-word idioms in his stomach, regardless of whether it was suitable or not, anyway, it was a pompous tout of Lin Ruyi.
Originally, we thought that the animals by the lake would be frightened and run away, but what we didn't expect was that those animals were all stunned and looked around in confusion as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.
Big Bear scratched his head and asked me, "Old Han, what did you say happened to those animals?" Why don't you run? What do you see they are looking for? It can't be to avenge the sheep, right? ”
I also think it's a little strange, are these animals short-circuited in the brain? Or had they never heard the gunshots and didn't know what was just happening?
Before I could figure it out, the animals that were originally stunned suddenly started to stir, screaming and running wildly, and my head was sweating, Nima's, it turned out that the reflex arc was too long!
I pulled Lin Ruyi and the big bear and quickly hid behind a big tree, and those scurrying animals didn't care who bumped into them and who was unlucky.
After waiting for a while, the animals were almost done, and we were relieved that the animals on the island were just as laughable as the weather on the island.
Big Bear said with some regret, "I knew earlier, I would have fired two more shots while they were in a daze, and the saved one was eaten, and I had to come next time." As he spoke, he suddenly looked at me and Lin Ruyi, and then smashed his mouth and said, "Old Han, how did I find out that you kid is very good at taking advantage of loopholes, you say that you hide from those animals, what are you doing holding the hand of Miss Lin?" ”
As soon as he said this, I reacted and quickly let go of Lin Ruyi's hand, I didn't think so much about it in a hurry just now, I said to Da Xiong, "You comrade, why are there some dirty things in your mind, I just hid behind a tree to pull the Ruyi girl, how can I say it from your mouth, I am like a hooligan." ”
Lin Ruyi stopped the two of us and said, "Okay, don't be poor, let's get the sheep back quickly, if the animals turn back later, it will be troublesome." ”
When we were about to go to the lake to drag the sheep, a black figure suddenly jumped to the side of the sheep, which turned out to be the dog and tiger who had taken pictures before!
Da Xiong said a little anxiously, "Quick, hurry up and shoot again, that grandson is ready to cut off his beard halfway!" ”
Lin Ruyi nodded and raised her gun to shoot, in fact, she didn't have the hope of shooting the dog and tiger, purely to scare it away, but at the moment of the gunshot, a gray shadow suddenly fell from the branch in front of her, and it turned out to be the pheasant!
I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if there was some inexplicable complex relationship between the pheasant and the dog, but in short, the bullet slid through the pheasant's paws and flew out, but the dog and tiger reacted quickly, and after glancing at us, he burrowed into the dense forest like lightning.
The dog and tiger ran away without a trace, the pheasant was not so lucky, the paw was wounded by the bullet and bled more than once, it fluttered its wings and wanted to fly away, but it was estimated that it was too painful to fly up, the big bear hurriedly stepped forward to catch, the pheasant was fierce and poked out of its mouth to peck the big bear, but in the face of all the food that can be eaten, the big bear never flinched, and found a vine to divide the pheasant by two and tied it firmly.
The big bear carried the pheasant and grinned and said to us, "Old Han, look, we still have an unexpected harvest, this should be a female **, plucked, washed, stewed on the fire, tsk, and with a roast leg of lamb, my saliva is about to flow out." Although the pheasant was tied up firmly, it was still full of wild and constantly struggling and writhing, and the big bear frowned and said to the pheasant: "Don't toss, your little tiger has long since run away, if you are not hungry, I really admire you, a pheasant even knows how to sacrifice himself to save his lover, but one of you is a chicken, the other is a tiger, why do you still want to talk about a love across species?" ”
I looked at the big bear speechlessly and said, "Don't talk nonsense with a chicken, let's go and drag the sheep back, what kind of cross-species love, you have been single for a long time and you think you are feeding you dog food, right?" ”
