Chapter 56: Flowing
We couldn't see far with our sunglasses, and when we took them off, we gradually got used to the dazzling snow, and then we noticed a few small black spots in the distance.
We first thought of the foreign mercenaries.
Ah Fei took out his shotgun, and Mo Ye also pulled out a mountain opening knife. I held up the binoculars and looked at them a few times, smiled, and handed it to Mo Ye.
Mo Ye also laughed after seeing it, and asked Huqiu how far he was to the nearest village.
Hu Qiu gasped and looked at the sky, "Work harder, you can get there before dark." ”
"Luckily, lunch is over." Mo Ye said with a smile.
It turned out to be a few roe deer, some people say they are stupid, but in fact, it is also a misunderstanding, how can the species that survive in the cruel elimination process of nature be too "lacking in heart".
We cautiously approached and dived down a few hundred meters away, He Aijuan couldn't bear it, and said timidly, "This is a national wild protected animal, we ...... it."
The cannon turned his head and glared at her, "The rabbit too, didn't you eat it yesterday!" ”
He Aijuan blushed and lowered her head.
Mo Ye let everyone disperse, intending to copy it in a semi-encirclement, Liang Fang and He Aijuan were just foils, at most playing the role of "scarecrow", we slowly approached, and we were less than a hundred meters away from the group of roe deer.
A male roe deer suddenly blew up its tail, revealing its "white buttocks", this is its frightened reaction, Mo Ye was the first to rush out, the action was so fast that I was amazed, the thin body was like a tanuki, and it was dozens of meters in an instant. The roe deer group was alarmed, jumping in all directions, one was at the edge of the "encirclement", but saw the artillery suddenly turned up from the snow, a spear stabbed over, hit the roe deer in the neck, the wounded roe deer dying and struggling, shook off the head of the gun and ran in the other direction, the artillery chased after the back, but ran a few steps and slowed down - the key point of the roe deer was hit hard, it was no longer good, and after a few jumps, it staggered and stood unsteadily, leaving a large string of bright red blood stains on the ground, which was particularly dazzling against the snow......
The other roe deer had already broken through our "encirclement" and stood at a distance looking back at their companions "stupidly". The cannon went up triumphantly, and made up for it at the moment before the badly wounded roe deer fell, and the roe deer fell down with a sad whimper, struggling to get up, but saw the roe deer raise the spear again......
When I approached, I suddenly had a strange feeling, it seemed that my scalp was faintly numb, and my hair stood upright, and then I looked at Mo Ye behind me, the fur coat on his body also began to "crackle", and the fine hair was like countless small needles, and the roots exploded, Mo Ye's face changed, and he shouted, "Mountain cannon, stop!" ”
The cannon had already pierced, but the shot missed—the roe deer, which had struggled to stand up, suddenly sank its limbs below the surface of the snow, and then moved its whole body backwards......
The artillery force was too strong, the center of gravity rushed forward, I wanted to use the gun to stop the body, but found that as soon as the gun head entered the snow, there was no support point, and the whole person also followed forward.
In the moment before the two of them were about to plunge into the snow, I grabbed Mo Ye's arm and finally pulled the two back. The cannon fell to the ground, whirring and panting, and then looked at the roe deer, which was making its last struggle in the snow, but it sank faster and faster, and in an instant it only showed its head, and what shocked us the most was that it seemed to fall into a flowing river, floating with the "river", gradually moving away from us......
But we are not wrong, it is indeed a "river" that is "flowing", but the "river" is the white snow......
We withdrew more than ten meters before we dared to stand and watch—
The "Snow River" is more than 20 meters wide, with no head in front and no tail in the back, meandering and passing through the snow field, during which the snow surface is high and low and the snowflakes are splashing, and the occasional squeezed out snow blocks and snow balls are like waves, flying smartly......
Mo Ye said that the local ethnic minorities called this "Hoya Kudoqi", which translates to "the tears of the snow god", he only heard it in the mouth of the older generation of "stick heads", and he has been wandering in the iceberg and snow forest for more than 40 years, and he has seen it for the first time, so it turns out that this is really not a legend.
As for why the snow "flows", no one can say for sure, but we can't hear the sound of the water, which means that there is not a dark river below.
He Aijuan showed great interest, she studied geology, and naturally had other views on these things.
"In some historical documents, there are indeed similar records, but they are all quicksand, broken rocks moving and sliding, etc., 'snow river'? The first time I've seen it. He Aijuan said, she stroked the ends of her fluffy and flying hair, "However, it can explain this-" She pointed to the erect fur on Mo Ye's coat, "It is the static electricity generated by the flow and friction of the 'Snow River'......"
Liang Fang interrupted, "But what can cause 'frictional electricity' should be two different substances. ”
"I was about to say this—" He Aijuan tried to get close to the bank of the "Snow River" and took out a small test tube bottle from the small bag she was carrying, "indicating that the 'Snow River' contains other substances, maybe they are strongly charged or magnetic." With the help of Liang Fang, she scooped up a pinch of snow from the "Snow River", buttoned the bottle cap, and excitedly put it into her bag.
The way forward is broken, we can only take a detour, walk more than 20 miles before returning to the right way, cold and exhaustion are secondary, the most important thing is that we have not yet eaten hot food, to more than four o'clock in the afternoon when the sky is getting dark, not to mention the roe deer, even a pheasant has never seen again, Hu Qiu finally still can't stand it, closed his eyes tightly, his teeth are straight up and down, the cannon wants to change the gauze for him, only to find that he has long been frozen by blood, and the broken wound has been frozen with ice ballast.
Hu Qiu's body temperature was dropping sharply, which meant that if he delayed for another hour or three, I am afraid that he would really have to throw himself on this big snowfield.
The cannon helped him rub his arms and legs hard, "Old Lake, quick, tell a few more stories!" ”
Hu Qiu opened his eyes with difficulty, moved his purple lips, didn't say anything, his hand pointed to the snowfield in the distance, and quickly sank again, Mo Ye frowned and said, "Keep going, the village doesn't seem to be far away." ”
The cannon battle shouted like a donkey and a horse, especially to the little couple, waving the gun and pointing it over, "me if I drag it back, I'll wear you as a sugar gourd!" ”
……
Half an hour later, we finally saw a few black outlines on the horizon, we thought it was a village, but we didn't think it was, it was just the beginning of a snowy nightmare......
