Chapter 17: Needles

The old prostitute said that we were monkeys in the tree was not a joke, it was a fact, and it was a helpless act for us to be trapped in the tree.

"If you can be a monkey for a few days and not be trapped here, that's fine, I'm afraid it's not as simple as pretending to be a monkey for a few days." Wang Jingang looked at the giant hyenas in the distance and said, "Do you think these giant hyenas are very smart, they seem to be organized, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to attack us."

"They were scared by us, so they changed their strategy." The old prostitute continued: "If it hadn't been for the killing of a few giant hyenas under the tree just now, I'm afraid they would have rushed up in a swarm."

"Change strategy? What strategy to change?" I asked.

"My day, what other strategy can they have, when they saw that the attack failed, they changed it to a siege."

"You're saying their strategy now is to trap us in a tree." I wondered.

The old prostitute nodded, and swung herself to the place where I hung my backpack and went through it.

After dressing the wound of the thin monkey, I sat on the branch of a tree and looked at the giant hyenas in the distance, although the sky was now dark, the dark shadow of the giant hyenas in the distance was still clear.

Before coming to Guizhou, I didn't expect to encounter this situation. Even before entering the gate, Cao boldly reminded us that there were wolves in the gate, and at that time I had already thought about some of the consequences of encountering wolves, but I never thought that what we encountered was not wolves, but a group of ferocious giant hyenas.

We were trapped in a tree and we were trapped by a pack of giant hyenas, which looked like a joke. A few men armed with modern weapons were turned on their backs by a pack of giant hyenas, and their last shelter was actually in two trees.

This may be a shame for us as tomb robbers, because we did not die in the tomb, nor were we killed by zongzi, but we were trapped and killed in a tree by a giant hyena, and we may even be eaten by a giant hyena after death, because they are no less skilled at climbing trees than leopards. Of course, maybe when they are eating us, we are not dead, but we don't have the strength to resist.

"Looking for what?"

Hearing someone talking, I glanced to the side, it was Wang Jingang asking the old prostitute. The old prostitute was biting the flashlight in her mouth and was looking inside the backpack, he was rummaging through the backpack of the skinny monkey, and it seemed that he had just turned over my backpack.

"Nothing, find something." After answering, the old prostitute asked Wang Jingang, "King Kong, how many bullets did you bring with you when you came from Yunnan?"

"It's not a lot, but it's a lot, I think each gun has three magazines."

After Wang Jingang answered, the old prostitute continued to rummage through the backpack.

It seems that the old prostitute is looking for a magazine, presumably he doesn't really want to put a monkey on the tree, I know that the old prostitute is not a person who admits defeat, and he will try his best to solve any difficulties.

"Old prostitute, have you already figured out how to deal with the giant hyena?" I asked.

"No" The old prostitute looked at me after rummaging through all the backpacks, then looked at Wang Jingang again, and asked, "King Kong, were the backpacks already packed when you came?"

"No, all the equipment was put together before, and they were separated after they arrived at Cao Daring's house."

"Oh, who did that?" The old prostitute asked.

"It looks like a skinny monkey." Wang Jingang thought about it, and said with great certainty: "It's not the thin monkey, it's the big brother Mancang, I haven't seen the equipment that was assigned to it, they got it in the second half of the night."

After listening to this, the old prostitute took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack, swung it to the branch where the thin monkey was lying, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured water on the thin monkey's head.

As soon as I saw the old prostitute's actions, I quickly asked, "What are you doing?" He's hurt. ”

"It's okay, I just want him to wake up quickly."

After the old prostitute did this, the thin monkey was really woken up by water. Since I tied the skinny monkey to a tree when I cleaned his wounds, he couldn't move his body at all when he woke up, except for his head.

"Wake up," said the old prostitute, wiping the water from the thin monkey's face.

The thin monkey shook his head, looked left and right a few times, and asked, "Am I not dead?"

"Fuck off, you're fucking alive, you can't die." The old prostitute continued: "When I wake up, I will ask you something, and then you will go back to sleep."

"What's the matter?" As soon as the thin monkey asked the old prostitute, he sighed and said, "What's wrong with my buttocks, why does it hurt so much."

"It's not a big deal, it's just been bitten by a giant hyena." The old prostitute continued: "Did you carry the backpack when we came?"

"The backpack is not loaded by me, it is loaded by Brother Mancang, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll just ask, you can take care of your injuries." After the old prostitute finished speaking, she sat on a tree branch, not speaking, as if she was thinking about something.

I can see that the old prostitute has something on her mind, and this matter is also related to the backpack, otherwise the old prostitute can't finish asking King Kong and ask the thin monkey again. I took a look at the backpack and flipped through it in a mess, but I didn't think anything was wrong, there was everything useful to eat and drink, and I couldn't tell that the old prostitute was thinking about what was in the backpack.

"Old prostitute, what's wrong?" I leaned over to the old prostitute and asked.

"It's nothing, do you want to go to the tree across from you and look into the distance, it's much taller than this one."

"It's dark, and you can't see anything far away." As soon as I finished speaking, I felt like I had said the wrong thing.

I realized why the old prostitute had asked me to go to another tree, he had something to say to me, and he should have avoided the skinny monkeys. I quickly said, "That tree is taller than our tree, so let's go over and look at the terrain in the distance first, and maybe we can find a way out."

The old prostitute made a safety rope on the rope between the two trees, which was made especially for me, and he himself passed along the rope without using the safety rope. After following the old prostitute to the opposite tree, the old prostitute showed me his backpack.

I looked at the contents of his backpack, and he said, "Look at the contents of our backpacks, they're all the same."

"Isn't it supposed to be the same?" I was puzzled, and then asked, "Why is something missing from your backpack?"

"We don't have any magazines in our backpacks, and we don't have explosives."

If the old prostitute hadn't been reminded, I really wouldn't have found out. On closer inspection, there were indeed no magazines or explosives. I knew that the old prostitute had looked through everyone's backpacks, but there must have been none, so he insisted that I come to this tree to talk.

"Do you suspect that someone has done it?" I asked.

The old prostitute nodded silently, and after seeing him nodding, I subconsciously looked at the thin monkey and Wang Jingang on the opposite tree.

"Don't look at them like that, it's not good for you to look at them like this, it shouldn't be the two of them." The old prostitute said.

I know what the old prostitute means, he's someone who doubts me and I doubt it.
