Chapter 215: Ridge Cave 3
I opened my eyes slightly, and saw a low, low-slung man in tattered snow boots standing in front of me, with his back to us, bending over our cans by the campfire, and in a few moments he picked up a box of cans and opened them.
Is he going to poison our food?
It turned out that I was wrong, and the next second, this person actually gobbled up the food in the can......
Now the timing was right, I made an OK gesture to Wei Yin next to me, and then we grabbed our guns at the same time and jumped up.
"Don't move!" I turned my gun on the intruder and yelled.
The "intruder" who was eating food slowly turned his head and looked at Wei Yin and me in panic, and when we saw his face, we were both stunned because it was a ...... Child!
And this kid doesn't look very similar to a Russian, I can't tell who it is.
"Who are you and where are you from!" I asked, gun-raised.
The child did not answer, his eyes full of panic.
At this time, Wei Yin pressed the body of my gun with his hand and said, "Don't be so fierce, he's just a child." ”
I snorted coldly: "Although it is a child, it is by no means simple, if I am not mistaken, he was the one who injured Andrei in the eye with a slingshot and then cut our climbing rope!" ”
Wei Yin glanced at the child and asked softly, "Little friend, why are you alone, where is your family?" ”
The kid still didn't answer, probably because he couldn't understand Chinese.
Seeing this, Wei Yin took out a tissue from his pocket and reached out to wipe the stains and snowflakes off his face for him. Who knew that this kid didn't know how to bite Wei Yin's hand, I was anxious when I saw this, and immediately slammed the butt of my gun on his chin to make him loosen.
The blow I had just dealt was so hard that the child staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, and then began to cry.
I wanted to continue hitting him, but Wei Yin stopped me: "Don't do this, I'm fine." He must have taken us for bad guys. ”
I looked at the kid sitting on the ground crying in front of me, shook my head and said, "Think of us as bad people? I think this kid is the bad guy, I've heard the story of the farmer and the snake, it's full of dangers, don't be deceived by his child's appearance! ”
At this time, Uncle Dao and Zheng Tian in the tent heard our movements, and they unzipped the tent one after another and walked out.
"What's going on?" Uncle Dao walked up to me and asked.
I pointed a gun at the kid on the ground: "This kid just tried to stun us with a smoke and then break in and steal our food. ”
Uncle Dao looked carefully at the child sitting on the ground crying, and then said, "It's the child of the Mansi people." ”
Mansi people?
"So he's a local native?" I asked.
Uncle Dao nodded: "The Mansi man is our friend, he must have been separated from the clansmen and hasn't eaten for a long time, so he wants to come in and eat something, why are you beating him?"
Hearing Uncle Dao say this, I was a little aggrieved, and I felt that he hadn't realized that this was a little devil:
"Uncle, let me tell you, judging by his size, this kid is likely to be the one who hit Andre with a slingshot and cut our climbing rope before, you must not be fooled by his appearance."
When I finished speaking, I also pointed to Andrei's bruised eyes and the fat bear's swollen buttocks.
The fat bear said angrily: "Good boy, you made the fat man fall and gnaw on the mud!" ”
Uncle Dao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know Mansi, but Andre does, so I'll ask him to communicate with this kid and ask him if he did those things before." ”
Although Andre was five big and three thick, he was quite relatable, he took out a new box of canned food for him to eat, and said many amusing things, which made the child gradually let down his guard. At the same time, Wei Yin also took out a small nesting doll toy from the bag and gave it to the child, and the child gradually smiled when he saw the food and toys.
After closing the distance, Andre began to question, and the child was very cooperative, and 1510 explained everything.
It turned out that the child's name was Xixi, and he and his family went into the mountains to hunt three days ago, but unfortunately they were separated and had been wandering in the snowy mountains. The man hiding in the bushes was indeed him, he saw us strange faces at the time, thought we were bad people, and in desperation wounded Andrei with a slingshot, but he was definitely not the one who cut our climbing rope later. Cissy walked to the edge of the cave alone in the wind and snow, tired and hungry, and saw that there was canned food in the cave, so he wanted to come in and eat some, but he was afraid that we would harm him, so he put a smoke to stun us.
Zheng Tian questioned his statement: "It may be reasonable for a child to have a slingshot, but where does the smoke in his hand come from? ”
Uncle Dao walked to the cave**, picked up the smoke that had almost burned to the ground, and then said to us: "This is not smoke, it is an ordinary cigarette stick, it must have been stolen by this kid to play." ”
Wei Yin seemed to have a natural affection for this child, and she said to me: "Xixi is also scared, so he will attack us with a slingshot, and it is not he who cuts the climbing rope behind, Xixi is so pitiful, let's take him in." ”
I said in my heart, eldest sister, don't you want mother's love to overflow, okay, we still have a lot of things to do, how can we take care of this bear child.
So I refused, "No, first of all, we can't verify whether he is telling the truth." Secondly, even if this kid is telling the truth, it's just a burden for us to take him with us, don't forget that we are going to enter the Death Mountain to seal Chilonso, wouldn't it be bad to let him follow? ”
Zheng Tian and I agreed: "We are not a charity, and we can't put the cart before the horse. ”
Uncle Dao hesitated for a moment and said, "The Mansi people are friends of the Brotherhood, so we can't ignore the children of the Mansi people. In that case, let's take him first, and leave him behind when we get to the nearest Mansi settlement, and let the tribesmen help him find his parents. ”
Wei Yin nodded: "That's fine, in short, we can't leave him alone, how anxious he should be if his parents are lost." ”
Andrei, who was injured by the child, even helped him speak, and it could be seen that the relationship between the Brotherhood and the Mansi people was really good.
Since Uncle Dao has said so, I can't object to anything, although I am still hostile to this child, but think that we are all adults, and we still have guns in our hands, there is no need to be afraid of him as a child, just pay attention when the time comes.
There were still seven or eight hours before dawn, and Wei Yin volunteered to let this child sleep in a tent with her, I was actually a little worried, but she had to agree.
After everyone dispersed, I spent another half an hour at night, mainly to observe the situation in Wei Yin's tent, but the child seemed to fall asleep quickly, and the night was fine.
