Chapter 178: Horror Rumors
Luo Yuanhao's question, the old man had already opened his mouth to answer. Zhang Wei translated synchronously:
The old man said he couldn't remember. It has appeared and found in the east and south before. ”
"When he was younger, he still had a lot of memories of the farm in the east."
"Well, maybe to the east, there's a shallow river. She would go there to drink water. Her intelligence is only 10 years old, no one scolds her, she will drink water. We should look over there. ”
"She likes lambs, puppies, and small children, and she loves to hold them, but people always behave excessively because of misunderstandings, which often causes her to go crazy."
Zhang Wei translated here, stopped suddenly, and then looked at the old man, Luo Yuanhao noticed Zhang Wei's situation, and also looked at the old man, only to see that there seemed to be muddy tears rolling in the old man's eyes.
Then I only heard Zhang Wei translate again: "She likes to hug them very much, but sometimes these puppies, lambs, and calves don't like her hugs, and she will bite them angrily, and then turn into biting ......"
Luo Yuanhao's spine shook when he heard this, and he could feel the friction between the erected hairs and his clothes. The hot summer suddenly became cold......
- It turns out that the old monster of the Hopkins family, this rumor came from here!
Not only Luo Yuanhao, but Zhang Wei was also so frightened that his face turned pale, and Lu Tai was also hesitant, as if he was considering whether to find his own fighting dog.
The old man spoke, wiping away his tears, and then walked forward with the three men, and after a while, said to them, "Please leave your pet dog somewhere, or my house will do it, if the dog barks and scares her, the consequences are unpredictable." ”
Luo Yuanhao discussed it with Zhang Wei, and decided to follow the old man's words, bolt the dog to the living room of their house, put some meat, and appease them to dispel their concerns in an unfamiliar environment.
After they had made their decision, the old man brought in a few tall and handsome horses, one for each person, saying that his farm was a bit big, and if he walked, it would be endless.
In fact, Luo Yuanhao and the others walked from the farmer's house in the east to the old man's house for at least four hours. Horseback riding will be much faster.
Although none of the three of them had experience in horseback riding, an old man in his nineties could ride a horse, what qualifications did they have to say no?
The three of them, of course, did not say that they could not ride horses. They just follow the example of the old man, step on the stool and get on the horse, and then gently wave the whip, and the horse will gallop on its own without beating. Follow the old man and head east.
Along the way, Luo Yuanhao was thinking about a question, that is, what are they going to do? Dealing with an old birthday boy who has intellectual problems and is over 12 years old?
Or maybe what they want to find is just a lost hound?
Luo Yuanhao shook his head again, he knew that the hound was lost, it was a fantasy, and something must have gone wrong.
Gradually, Luo Yuanhao felt that his buttocks were bumped and numb, and even a little painful. He turned his head to see that Zhang Wei had bared his teeth and endured it very hard, but fortunately, at this moment, the old man said that he could dismount.
"It's better to take a tractor." Zhang Wei said when he dismounted.
"The tractor may not be able to climb this small hill." Luo Yuanhao said.
As soon as the reins were dropped, the horses paced and graze.
The old man walked forward, looking for the current of water in his memory. After a while, he really found a river in front of him.
The largest inland river is the Diamantina River, which flows into Lake Eyre and forms a criss-crossing seasonal river in south-west Queensland. It's summer, and you're seeing artificially dug riverbeds in NSW, which are already dry, and the area is very wet, apparently below sea level.
What the old man showed them was muddy water with a certain amount of stagnant water. Many wild animals drink like snails clinging to the shore. But didn't see anything like people drinking water.
The old man could only take them further east, and the sky was gradually getting less bright than before, and the sun and the horizon formed an angle of 25 degrees, and if there were a higher mountain here, it would be almost time for the sun to set.
Looking, it's an extremely boring process. Luo Yuanhao and the others often wandered, and after walking for more than ten minutes, the old man finally found some traces, and he continued to move forward along these traces that ordinary people could not distinguish even if they saw them. Within ten minutes, they saw even more visible bloodstains!
At this moment, Luo Yuanhao and the others can also see it, I am afraid that they have found some important clues.
Along the trail of blood, they found the hair, and along the hair, they found the skin tissue of the animal. Lu Tai suddenly lost control of his emotions, almost like a child whose toy had been snatched away, and he almost burst into tears......
Because this piece of skin tissue was left by his fighting dog.
The old man looked back at Lu Tai, his brows furrowed slightly, and the old man couldn't tell whether he was guilty or helpless, his lips were sunken because he had no teeth, as if he wanted to apologize, but he didn't say it after all.
The situation seems to have become serious, and Luo Yuanhao saw that the bite marks were already very different from the tearing effect of the beast. This is enough to prove that the dog was made by the old man's aunt.
Because in Australia, there are no large predators, and the largest dingo is only 25 kilograms, and the average is 11-22 kilograms.
At this weight, there are no herds that pose a threat to the hounds they brought.
Along the way, most of the dingos they encountered were in a state of stray, and the number was relatively rare, after all, they were mainly concentrated in Queensland, and developed a competitive relationship with wild boars.
Riding on horseback, they headed east. Soon, we came to the place where the stake was inserted, and on it was also written the text to distinguish the scope of the farm: Hopkins.
When a few people arrived here, they found that the old man who had been leading the way in front of him did not look quite right, and it was getting more and more ugly.
Finally, the old man couldn't bear it anymore and spoke to Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei looked a little surprised, and then nodded in agreement. The old man glanced at a few people, and rode back.
Zhang Wei immediately relayed to the two people he didn't understand: "He said two things, one is that it is the time for his wife to lie in bed and take medicine." The other, more serious, he said, told us to keep going, to look for, but not to approach. Wait for him to come back, and he'll bring a fishing net, which will be more complete. ”
Only then did Luo Yuanhao know how the old man's face could be so ugly, it turned out that there were too many things to worry about.
The three of them did not hesitate, spread out a little, and continued to move forward to search.
But they did not have the same strong reconnaissance ability as the old man, almost zero discovery, all the way to the Chinese farm, saw their houses, and found nothing.
Walking further to the east, a few people felt uninterested. I had to trust the horse.
At this time, Luo Yuanhao suddenly saw one of the bushes, as if it had been burned by fire, burning out a pedestrian passage. He immediately remembered something...... Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
