Chapter 34: Claw Marks
The old bell slid down from the branch with the dog's tail in his mouth, and asked me if I could see what it was. I said no, it's too fast to see clearly, it can't be a beast, right?
The sound of this gunshot woke up many people, Ge Zhuang was the closest to us, and naturally reacted quickly, grabbed the sapper shovel and jumped up, shouting, "Oh, is it a zongzi?" ”
I said don't shout, now I can't even find which way the gate of the tomb of the Emperor is open, where did the zongzi come from? Ge Zhuang said, Fat man, I just closed my eyes, and I was dreaming of gnawing pig's trotters, not zongzi, what kind of gun did you shoot?
After a while, Chen Yun also came over with that Young Master Lu, frowned and looked at me and Lao Zhong, and asked if we had found anything wrong. Old Zhong didn't say much in front of unfamiliar people, pointed to the single hole in the back of the off-road vehicle, and said that there should have been a beast just now.
"What a beast!" A young man in the scientific expedition team walked near the off-road vehicle to check it, and said loudly, Sister Yun, come over and take a look, what a strange footprint.
Footprints?
Everyone didn't bother to speak, and when they heard that the beast had left footprints, they couldn't wait to rush over. The flashlight beam swept away, and when we saw the footprints left on the ground, we couldn't help but gasp.
The footprints of the beast were about 25-27 centimeters long, and the toes were thick, accounting for two-thirds of the length of the entire footprints.
"What kind of monster is this damn thing, is there a biologist here?" I looked up and saw that everyone was at a loss, and it was clear that no one recognized what kind of beast the footprint belonged to.
I gently poked Lao Zhong's elbow and whispered, Have you heard of the legend of the Shennongjia savage? Lao Zhong turned around and stared at me in surprise, saying What do you mean, this footprint is not left by a beast, it is a wild man?
I said I don't remember very well, this guy ran too fast, but when he ran, he walked upright, and there shouldn't be any other creature walking like this except orangutans, right?
Chen Yun patted me on the back and said What are you and Lao Zhong muttering about? I told Chen Yun what I had just seen and the speculation in my heart, Chen Yun frowned and groaned after listening, and didn't speak for a long time, but Lu Chuan, who was beside him, said proudly,
"Sima Nan, I see that you are mistaken, the wild people of Shennongjia do not exist at all, I have seen those so-called image materials, it is estimated that someone is deliberately playing ghosts, attracting people's attention and cheating funds, besides, how far is it from Shennongjia, even if there are wild people, it is impossible to wade so far through mountains and rivers, right?"
This kid was proud, as if he was deliberately selling off his knowledge, so as to earn a chance to perform in front of Chen Yun, I ignored him and asked Chen Yun if it was possible.
My attitude of ignoring him hurt him very much, his face was red, he took a breath, looked at me deeply, and said to Chen Yun, "Ah Yun, I think this is an ordinary beast, don't think too much, we have a lot of people here, and there are torches, the beast should not dare to come, besides, even if there is danger, I can protect you." ”
Chen Yun said I have never seen this kind of footprint, the existing creatures don't seem to have such strange toes, you still have too little experience, this is the first time to go to the grave, you can't take it lightly, can you help me bring the camera?
Lu Chuan was a little unhappy, as if he was dissatisfied with Chen Yun's contempt for himself, he handed over the camera, and said There are a few biology professors in my father's scientific research team, why don't you ask you after you go back?
After Chen Yun finished taking pictures of the footprints, he looked up and said to me, "Sima Nan, in which direction did you see the beast running away?" "I said that the direction of escape is behind you, but the forest is too deep, and we are completely confused by the terrain, and it is dangerous to rush into the mountains.
Lu Chuan finally found an opportunity to earn performance, and hurriedly said Ah Yun, why don't I accompany you into the mountains to have a look, maybe this is a rare species that has never been discovered, and my father's biology laboratory also needs it.
This kid has a father on the left and a biological laboratory on the right, as if we are afraid that we don't know how rich his old man is, Ge Zhuang squinted his eyes, smiled hehe, and said Master Lu, you can be careful, this is not your back garden, no one can protect you when you enter the mountain.
Lu Chuan looked disdainful and said that I brought three bodyguards to ensure my safety. I added that you'd better go back and talk again.
He said what could I have behind me, are you trying to scare me?
Saying this, Lu Chuan still looked back, and when he saw the five hideous claw marks on the tires of the jeep, he shrugged his eyebrows and exclaimed, "What is this?" ”
Chen Yun hurriedly held the wolf's eye flashlight and turned around to sweep it, there were five long claw marks on the jeep tires, half a foot long, the paw prints were very deep, the tires had been punctured, the corners of the wheels were deflated, and the steel rims of the tires were also printed with this kind of scratches, which extended to the rear of the car, directly twisting the iron sheet of the trunk.
it!
Ge Zhuang was shocked, and said how sharp are these claws, even the iron sheet can be bent? I'll go, his pants and crotch must be wet!
This dead fat man's mouth is broken, and he will always pop out a lot of headless words, Lao Zhong asked him why he concluded that the savage's pants and crotch were wet, Ge Zhuang said Do you want to, the claws are so hard, do you dare to hold his little Ding hook with his hand when he pees?
Lao Zhong said how do you know that it is male, what if it is female? Ge Zhuang smiled and said Lao Zhong, haven't you married a daughter-in-law yet? If it's a mother, I'll catch you!
Chen Yun looked disgusted and said Can you shut up? It seems that this beast is very aggressive, don't sleep, let's be on guard in groups of three, and we'll talk about it when it's dawn!
We guarded the fire until dawn, we didn't find anything that night, early in the morning Chen Yun distributed canned beef to everyone, there were many mosquitoes in the mountains, many members of the team didn't care about eating, sitting by the stream to tickle, Chen Yun gave them flower water.
After breakfast, Chen Yun gathered the people together, hesitating about the reason why she had set up camp last night and broke into a "beast", she was very cautious, and asked everyone to divide into groups of five and look for them along the barren mountain road, and they must return before noon.
I was packing up my things and planning to go into the mountains with Chen Yun to investigate, when I suddenly heard someone in the team shouting, saying that the person was missing!
I put down my pocket, looked back, and saw a guy wearing small glasses running to Chen Yun in a panic, saying Sister Yun, Xiao Gu is gone. Xiao Gu is the driver of the green pickup truck behind, he stayed in the car last night and didn't get down, Chen Yun hurriedly asked everyone to go to look for it, maybe it was to hold his urine early in the morning and run to a farther place to solve it.
I said it was better to be cautious, don't forget that there are wild beasts around here, whether it is wild people or not, it is better for everyone to hug together and not get too far away, and it is best to be careful.
The scientific expedition team brought by Chen Yun are all young faces, and few of them have the experience of going to the tomb, so they don't know how much sinister there is near this big tomb. My words won Chen Yun's approval, and she was about to tell everyone not to go too far, when a very discordant tone came from her side,
"Ah Yun, why is the person you looking for so daring?"
