Chapter 25: Sudden Change
I don't know how ferocious the giant hyena is, but seeing them eat even the carcasses of their companions makes me know that they must be unprincipled animals. An animal without principles is extremely scary because their behavior can change at any time.
By daylight on the third day, I was even more worried about the situation here, although we still had enough food for a few days, but the food of the giant hyenas was significantly reduced, and now only the corpse of a giant hyena was left under the tree, and the rest had been eaten by the living giant hyenas. This is a bad sign because you have to worry about what the giant hyena is going to eat next.
Of course, at this time, I also had a more Mao Dun thinking, hoping that the little wolf would not enter the game, but I also had a little hope that the little wolf would enter the game soon. Because only when the little wolf enters the game, can our crisis here be resolved. If the wolf cub doesn't get in, we'll always be stuck in the tree.
I'm not afraid of being trapped in a tree, but one thing to be clear is that we don't have much food and water with us. Even if you save every day, you can only last until eleven or twelve days at most, what if the little wolf hasn't entered the game at that time? This is a problem that must be considered, if it is really according to what the old prostitute said, the little wolf is not so easy to deceive and does not enter the game, then our fate here is very likely to starve to death on the tree.
It's really an extremely unscrupulous idea, both wanting everyone here to be rescued and not wanting the little wolf to get into the game, it seems like it's an impossible win-win idea.
Although I don't believe in fate, I am often tricked by fate, and on the fourth night we were trapped in a tree, something good happened that I could not even dream of.
It wasn't a good thing, but I thought we were going to face a bigger challenge that night. Because during the day, the sun does not come out all day, and there are dark clouds floating in the sky, but there is no rain during the day.
During the day, a few of us had simply made a big hat out of tree branches, hoping to shield us from the coming rain. After all, the temperature is already very low this season, and if we get caught in the rain again, it is really unclear how long we will be able to carry it on the tree. Especially the thin monkey, his wound has only just healed in the past two days, and if he accidentally gets infected, it is not a trivial matter.
It was just getting dark, and the weather conditions suddenly changed, and the wind began to pick up.
Just as the wind was blowing, the giant hyena not far away began to roar wildly. We were supposed to face the rain, and our hearts were low enough, but we still had to listen to the roar of the giant hyena, not to mention how upset we were.
"What are you talking about those giant hyenas?" Skinny Monkey asked.
"Animals have a sense of premonition about changing days, especially when it rains, and they must have a premonition that it is going to rain, which is why they become so anxious." Wang Jingang then explained: "I used to have a friend who had a big wolf dog at his house, and he would bark wildly before it rained, and then the neighbors would always come to him and say that it was too noisy, so my friend sold the big wolf dog."
The skinny monkey nodded, and then asked, "They're not afraid of rain, are they?"
"Probably not, how can such an animal living in the mountains and forests be afraid of rain. But if it's a domestic dog, it's afraid of rain. ”
Wang Jingang's words pierced my heart like a needle, not only me, but even the old prostitute reacted when she heard this.
"Is the dog afraid of rain?" I asked.
Actually, I don't really know much about the common sense of dogs, after all, I have never had a dog since I was a child.
"Of course, there are those who are afraid of rain, and there are many domestic dogs who run into the house when it rains, and they can't get out."
Before Wang Jingang's words fell, the thin monkey continued: "I think so, everyone knows that it rains to take shelter from the rain, why can't dogs go to shelter from the rain."
Hearing the words of Wang Jingang and the thin monkey, I glanced at the old prostitute. Only the two of us know in our hearts that this is a bureau, and the giant hyena in front of us is artificially raised, of course, we don't know if it will rain for the time being.
"You see these giant hyenas are really afraid of the rain, they're going to run away." The skinny monkey uses a flashlight to look after the place where the giant hyena roared just now.
The moment I followed the flashlight, rain began to fall in the sky. At first, it didn't rain much, and we could still hear the sparse sounds of giant hyenas barking, and it was clear that they were gradually moving away from us. It didn't take long for the giant hyena's voice to leave our hearing range completely.
This was definitely an opportunity for us, the rain began to get heavier and heavier, and our vision was obscured a lot, and where the flashlight used to shine, now we could see it blurred, so if there were still giant hyenas in the grass, we couldn't see it clearly in the trees.
The old prostitute still seemed very alert, he told us not to move for now, he went down the tree with a flashlight and a gun by himself, and then slowly walked to the place where the giant hyena was.
I watched all the actions of the old prostitute, and I didn't take my eyes off for a second. During this period, the thin monkey and Wang Jingang talked a few more words, specifically about dogs, but I didn't listen carefully, I only heard one or two words about talking about dogs.
Watching the old prostitute walk forward step by step in the rain, I couldn't mention how anxious I was. I know this is a great chance for us to escape here, but of course I'm a little worried about the old prostitute, after all, the giant hyena's mind is difficult to figure out, and if a few don't run, then the old prostitute won't be a sheep.
After more than ten minutes, the old prostitute looked at the surrounding grass, and all the places where the giant hyena had been active in the past few days, the old prostitute checked them one by one, and he did not run back until he confirmed that there were no giant hyenas.
"The giant hyenas have run away, take off their backpacks, and untie their hammocks." The old prostitute shouted under the tree.
"What the hell are you doing with a hammock, you really fucking think you're here for a vacation." I said.
"Oh my god, it's not just a hammock, it's still a rope, we have to go out, we have to use a rope."
As soon as I heard it, I hurriedly followed Wang Jingang to untie the hammock. I don't know if it's the power of freedom that makes the skinny monkey strong, or if this guy keeps pretending to be in pain. As soon as I heard the old prostitute say that the giant hyenas had run away, she untied the rope that fixed her body and said to us: "I won't help you get the things, I will go down the tree by myself and try not to drag everyone down." After saying that, the thin monkey hugged the tree and slid down little by little.
Wang Jingang and I didn't have time to deal with him, and when we saw that he went down by himself, we didn't have to worry about it, and hurriedly threw everything under the tree. The old prostitute sorted out the backpack she threw down below, and found an arm-thick branch for the thin monkey to use as a crutch. Then he pointed out a direction to the skinny monkey and asked the skinny monkey to go in that direction first.
You don't have to think about it to know where the direction of the old prostitute is, it must be deep in the valley. Because we can't go back, the direction in which the giant hyena ran just now is the direction in which we came in. The giant hyena must have run to the secret passage to take shelter from the rain, and we can only go back to the valley for now.
Although we don't know what kind of landscape will be in the depths of the valley, one thing is certain, as long as we keep walking in one direction, we will definitely get out of Guanmengou.
Packing our bags, we headed deeper into the valley. Don't look at the thin monkey limping, but he is not slow at all, and by the time we are packing our things, he has already walked far away. Except for being able to see a flashlight in front of you, you can't see anyone else at all.
As I walked, I wondered if the giant hyena, a terrible animal, would be afraid of rain, and no one would believe it. Perhaps this is the so-called Baimi Yishu, the people who raised these giant hyenas may only train the wild nature of the giant hyenas, but they did not take into account the rainy day skills of the giant hyenas. But if you think about it, it feels normal, who would train a dog on a rainy day? I estimate that except for police dogs and guide dogs, other people in this world should not train dogs in rainy days.
I don't know if it's out of luck, or if I can't hide the joy in my heart at this time, looking at the old prostitute, I have a feeling of wanting to laugh.
"Laugh out loud if you fucking want to, no one will stop you." After the old prostitute finished speaking to me, a happy smile appeared on her face.
As we walked, we found that the thin monkey in front of us was not leaving, he was standing not far away, not knowing if he was waiting for us or if there was something unusual in front of him.
To be on the safe side, we didn't speed up our pace, but observed our surroundings as we walked. The old prostitute also used a flashlight to shake the thin monkey from time to time, turning it on and turning it off, hoping that after the thin monkey saw it, if there was danger, he would give a response. But the thin monkey stood straight in front of him, and the flashlight did not shine at us, nor at the front.
When we got closer, we realized that the thin monkey's flashlight had been watching over the grass.
After observing that there was no danger around, the old prostitute stepped up and ran over, shouting to the thin monkey as she ran, "What are you doing?" If you have bad legs and feet, don't hurry up. ”
I only saw the skinny monkey gagged and didn't hear what he said. And I noticed that the skinny monkey was staring at me all the time, and even when the old prostitute talked to him, he didn't take his eyes away.
When the old prostitute ran over, the thin monkey gave way to the side, and then the old prostitute squatted on the ground to see something.
Seeing this, I hurriedly ran over with Wang Jingang, but just as I ran forward, the thin monkey turned around and wanted to run forward, but he was already injured, and before he could turn around, he fell into the grass.
The old prostitute hurriedly helped him up, and at this time Wang Jingang and I had already run away, and I saw that the thin monkey's face was a little pale, as if he was frightened by something. And when he was close, his gaze changed again, and he was always avoiding my gaze, as if he was afraid to see me.
I didn't pay much attention to the skinny monkey's reaction, I just felt a little strange. I was just about to go to see the place where the old prostitute had just squatted down, but the old prostitute stopped me, and he said to me, "Don't look at it yet, I have something to say before you look at it."
I didn't understand why the old prostitute stopped me, he explained: "This is a dead man, this person has a certain relationship with you, so you are a little prepared before you see it."
Hearing the old prostitute say this, I chuckled in my heart, thinking that it could be a senior brother, right?
