177. Avoid war
Zhuang Yu was keen, and immediately noticed my gaze, and looked this way through the night. Even though we lit four fires, it was still dim in the night, and we couldn't see each other's faces clearly from such a distance, so we looked at each other for a few seconds before we turned our eyes.
The night breeze was cool, I raised my collar to cover half of my face, and lowered my eyes to see Sheng Shiyao's face sleeping on his side. He was lying on my side, not using a sleeping bag, just a moisture-proof mat on the floor. I doubt that he can sleep soundly like this and not be cold? Just as he was thinking, suddenly he reached out and grabbed the hand I was holding beside him, and pulled him into his arms, without even opening his eyes.
It's because I have become emotional, and I often feel a lot because of his heartwarming gesture. I know that he is not actually asleep, and yes, I didn't even use it as his pillow, where can he sleep. After thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt that my effect was very great, and I couldn't help but be happy. After the mood suddenly improved, I didn't feel that the time was difficult, and when it was nearly twelve o'clock, I saw Jian Ning walking to Zhuang Yu's side together, and I couldn't help but be surprised, she also got up to keep vigil?
Don't really say it, I was impressed by Jian Ningyi, I thought she was delicate and petite, and she couldn't bear such bitterness. I didn't think that she was really getting more and more strong, not only did she not appear weak in this team, but she could also help. It's the gesture of raising a gun, I don't think she's a rookie either, I don't know what she experienced when she followed Zhuang Yu in the past, or was she actually this kind of female paper character earlier, I was just deceived by her delicate and beautiful appearance?
Her relationship with Zhuang Yu is very similar to me and Sheng Shiyao, Zhuang Yu will not take too much care of her, but she will definitely stand up when danger arises. So I can understand her feelings for Zhuang Yu very well, who said that love is for no reason, love at first sight is just the first impression, more about getting along in the future, I always firmly believe in one sentence: adversity sees true love. Only after experiencing many things together will the relationship be strong and unbreakable.
After I lay down, I secretly looked at Sheng Shiyao for a while before I fell asleep peacefully. But not long after closing his eyes, the terrible night cry came again, obviously feeling very conscious, and even the crackling sound of dry wood in the fire next to him could be heard clearly, but he just couldn't open his eyes. I have clearly realized that this is a warning, which means that the horned eagle may be attacking again tonight, but I am like an evil spirit, and I can't wake up.
When the sharp hiss pierced the sky, my heart began to sink, and the confinement that seemed to be evil disappeared suddenly, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the scene above my head, which no longer needed my warning. As far as the eye can see, you can see several large birds hovering high in the sky, and the terrain here is halfway up the mountainside, with waterfalls cascading, so there are no towering dense woods to cover it, and the big birds fly away from time to time. Everyone woke up and picked up the gun they had kept in their hands and pointed it into the air.
Despite its huge size, this big bird is very agile, using the night as a protective layer, and its flight speed is very fast. After a preliminary count, I can see that there are about five, obviously two more than yesterday, and I don't know if there are still higher positions. There are fourteen of us here, and in addition to Zheng Dong, there are also thirteen manpower and gunfire, so Zhuang Yu gave an order, and everyone shot together, but only the sound of wings fluttering and birdsong was heard, but no big bird was knocked down.
After a round of gunfire, everyone paused, and I suddenly felt a tremor in my heart, and a kind of panic that I couldn't tell the reason was spreading. Knowing his prophetic ability, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told Sheng Shiyao his feelings, his eyes were dark when he heard the words, and he shouted to Zhuang Yu: "Yu, this place is not suitable for a long time, withdraw immediately!" ”
Zhuang Yu was about to give an order, but he heard the birds chirping overhead, and in the dark air around him, there seemed to be something from far and near. When a certain electric light flashed in my mind, my face immediately changed dramatically, and it was a flock of birds swarming! I had heard a lot of wings fluttering in my dreams, and it was not the blackbird in the daytime that warned me, but at this moment!
But all of a sudden, above our heads, there was a black press, and they were pressing low little by little. Through the firelight, I could see the appearance of this group of birds, divided into two layers, the lower layer is medium-sized birds, all similar to eagles, and the upper layer is the five large birds, as Sheng Shiyao described, the body is oversized, more than a meter long, the wings are particularly large when they are opened, the head has a black double crown, and the hair from the belly to the claws is grayish-white.
No one believes that they don't attack humans. And all of a sudden, from the original five horned eagles, to hundreds of goshawks attacking, relying on more than a dozen of us alone, hitting stones with eggs? Not really, but it will be a bloody battle.
In particular, on the way down the mountain, there seem to be flocks of birds rushing to us, is this the horned eagle gathering a flock of birds to besiege us and die here? It is not possible to run to the mountain, not to mention the rugged mountain road, the vision is blocked at night, and one accidentally planted into the deep cliff, and we walk on foot, where can we run past the birds?
At this time, he could only grit his teeth and cross his heart and fight with this group of ferocious birds. But at this moment, I suddenly heard Uba shouting: "Brother Yu, come over here, there is a cave!" We turned our heads when we heard the sound, and saw Uba standing in the darkness among the trees more than ten meters away, which was the slope of the mountain where the waterfall was cascading. Sheng Shiyao lifted Zhou Tong up, and ordered in a deep voice: "Small, help the sixth son." ”
I reacted quickly and pulled Liuzi up from the ground, and I heard Zhuang Yu drinking and ordering everyone to move to that place. In order to prevent the horned eagle and the flock of birds from suddenly swooping down, we retreated and concentrated on the top of our heads, a distance of more than ten meters, and it was very difficult to walk.
Someone lit a torch with coarse firewood before leaving, so when he went to the side of the mountain, he saw that there was a very hidden mountain crack behind the bushes, which did not look like it was artificially carved from the outside, but a natural hole, about three meters high, but only for one person to walk. When Zhuang Yu also retreated to this side, he glanced at the cave and ordered: "Uba, you explore the way ahead, and the others follow in turn, don't rob." Uba Mosheng went in, and after a few people entered, when it was our turn, Zhou Tong took the lead.
At this time, regardless of whether the hole is safe or not, you can only go inside, otherwise you can only wait for the bullets to run out, and be eaten by the horned eagles and the birds.
Since only one person could pass through the entrance of the cave, Zhou Tong and Liuzi could only rely on themselves to support the mountain wall to walk forward, I followed closely behind them, looked back, and saw that the familiar figure was only one step away from me, and I felt a lot more at ease. This is indeed a mountain crevice, I don't know what reason it cracked, maybe many years ago there was a landslide in this area, forming a waterfall, with this cave crack, it is indeed a shelter.
But I always felt that it would not go so well, and it was especially strange that since the horned eagle and a flock of birds had captured the territory above our heads, with the ferocity of last night, it should have swooped down to attack the people, so why did it delay our action tonight, and let us escape into this cave? Is it true that bird IQ is unable to respond to human behavior in a timely manner?
Just as my thoughts were flipping, suddenly a terrible night cry crossed my ears, and my heart trembled, it was the cry like a woman's cry, so clear and loud, as if it were all around me. But I immediately realized that something was wrong, the six sons walking in front of me did not react, no, it should be said that the people walking in the cracks of the entire cave did not react, including Sheng Shiyao behind me, when I turned my head, his eyes were opposite, and his eyes showed suspicion.
They can't hear it! Then it was a prophetic warning, was there this nocturnal bird hiding in the cave, or was it a prophecy of the future? I couldn't be sure, so I instinctively shouted, "Wait a minute! But as soon as I finished speaking, I heard the fluttering of wings overhead, and it seemed that a bird had also burrowed into the hole, and there was more than one.
Soon the bird appeared in the light of the torches, not horned eagles, but small and medium-sized eagles, whose wings could not be fully spread due to the narrowness of the cave, and sometimes crashed into the mountain walls on either side. I felt that the black shadow flashed in front of me, and one of them fell straight down, just to land in the position of the Uba people in the front, but I heard the scream of a bird, and then the swooping eagle was silent, and it should have been destroyed by Uba. But because of this, the torch held in mid-air was suddenly extinguished, and we all sank into darkness.
I heard Uba crying anxiously in front of him: "Run forward, the birds are chasing you." "At this time, everyone's emotions were confused by the sudden arrival of darkness and the sound of birds, and they all instinctively ran forward, and I followed suit, and the thought that had just been trying to stop everyone from moving forward was crossed in my mind, but now I was taking the path that was contrary to the warning.
The heart gradually sank, and suddenly a light shot out from behind me, I stopped abruptly, and looked back to see Sheng Shiyao holding a flashlight in his hand, and just now he avoided the cave in a hurry, and very few people took the baggage. And he was one of the very few people, with a backpack on his shoulder, and at this time he had taken out a flashlight from his bag to shine the light.
Only then did we realize that the space we were in was no longer as narrow as before, and before we knew it, we had actually run into a cave. Zhuang Yu and Jian Ningyi caught up from behind, panting and asking, "Why do you want to run?" "I couldn't help but be stunned, he led people behind the last side pad, only fell more than ten meters away, should know that the birds flew in, why do you have this question?
As soon as the information between the two sides exchanged, they were stunned, Zhuang Yu actually said that there were no birds coming in at the entrance of the cave behind, and he and the remaining few people shot a horned eagle when they finally drilled in, causing a riot in the sky outside the cave, and they also lit a pile of dry firewood at the entrance of the cave, and there were weeds outside the hole, which should be able to burn for a while. And where did the fluttering of birds we heard and the eagle we saw plummeting down come from? Horror in my heart, is it really history repeating itself? Could it be that like the Bat King Cave in Soul City, we entered the Eagle's Nest?
Looking straight ahead, Uba led Zhou Tong and them to run in front, but they were all gone, and their hearts were cold.
Although it's an ancient costume, the eyes are a little charming, I don't know what you think?
