Chapter 16: Something That Shouldn't Appear
"There's a big thing there!" I say. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Could it be a wild boar or a wild dog in the mountains?" Fei Bao said.
"Possibly!" I say.
"Just look at it!" It's not Fat Bao who said this, it's not me, it's actually Hotaru.
"If it's a beast, we don't have any weapons, so it's dangerous to pass like this!" I say.
"Don't be afraid, I have!" Fei Bao took out a knife from his waist and said, "This SOG320 fighting saber is the best at close combat, and now the US Navy SEALs use this kind of saber!" ”
"Say it as if it's true!" I said with a slight irony.
"Your boss's, is it still fake?"
"Where did you steal this American military stuff?"
"Bought it from the black market!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you hurry up and take a look!"
"And what are you doing?"
"I want to protect Hotaru!"
"It's up to you!" Fat Bao said sarcastically, "Remember when you were in the candle tower, you were ...... by that woman"
"That's it!" I stopped Fat Bao's words, I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of Hotaru.
"Let's go over and have a look!" Hotaru said.
"Okay!" I said, "Hotaru is going to follow me!" ”
So we slowly approached Wolong Slope. The weeds were still moving, as if something had been shaking the weeds! Luckily, it's daylight, and if we see a man-tall weed shaking at night, and the shaking range is very large, it's like a giant beast lurking in the grass trying to lure us over, which has to be scary!
As we approached Wolongpo, a strange noise came from the grass that made us vigilant. It was a sound that seemed to be a lot of things beating.
This sound can at least dispel the hypothesis of a giant beast, and neither can wild dogs and wild boars. Because this sound sounds like something smaller, and there are quite a few of them.
Fat Bao held the SOG320 fighting saber tightly in his hand, and he walked in the front, while Hotaru and I followed. Everyone approached cautiously. We slowly peeled off the weeds in front of us and walked towards the shaking grass.
The throbbing sound was getting closer and closer, and the area was in front of it, and you could see it if you peeled off the weeds in front of it. Fat Treasure motioned for Hotaru and me to get ready. I swallowed hard, not scared, but nervous because I didn't know what was beating. I looked at Hotaru, who looked nervous as much as I did, but she didn't show fear in her face.
Don't look at Hotaru with a little Lori, but she is very bold, much better than Amin. At one point, I suspected that their brother and sister were not biological! (Huh)
Fei Bao held the saber in his right hand and pushed away the weeds in front of him with his left hand. I was amazed by what happened.
"Carp?" Fei Bao said in surprise.
The ground is full of more than a dozen catties of carp, and the carp is constantly beating on the ground due to lack of oxygen and water.
"Where did these carp come from?" Hotaru said.
"Isn't there a Wolong Lake in the back?" "It must have jumped up from the lake!" ”
"Brother Fat Bao, can you use your brain!" I said, "It's more than ten or twenty meters away from Wolong Lake, how do you ask these fish to swim over?" ”
"Isn't it okay to jump over like this?" Fei Bao pointed to the carp that was still beating.
"Wolong Lake is an artificial lake, so the edges are all vertical. The surface of the lake is more than a meter away from the ground, and the ground is 60 degrees inclined to the lake, until it is five or six meters later before it is flat. The flat land extends back for more than ten or twenty meters to reach Wolong Slope, and the vertical height of Wolong Slope is seven or eight meters. Do you call those fish open? ”
"That person can just come up, can you bite it?"
"You pig!" I said, "The lake is not deep, so it is impossible to raise fish so fat." ”
"You explain where these fish come from? Did it fly down from the sky? ”
"If it fell from the sky, it would have fallen to death, silly hi!"
"Brother Jinke, where do you think these carp came from?"
While touching my chin, I thought, "It's impossible to have Wolong Lake in the back, it's impossible in the sky and on the ground, it can only be in front!" ”
"Ahead?" Fei Bao said.
"Let's go! Check it out! ”
Then we continued to walk forward, again with Fat Treasure leading the way, and Hotaru and I following behind. We walked around the carp and walked for a few minutes. At the end of Wollongpo is the fence of the park, part of which has collapsed. The weeds here are shorter than those on the hillsides, reaching waist-length. But it's also very dense, and every step we take is difficult.
The gap in the wall was also overgrown with weeds, and all three of us looked at the gap in amazement.
"The grass here has signs of being crushed!" Fei Bao said, "Could it be that those carp really jumped from here to the Wolong Slope?" ”
We all looked at each other.
"It doesn't have to be a fish!" Hotaru said.
"Hmmm! It could also be other animals, or people! I said.
Behind the fence is a grassy forest, and there are obvious signs of crushing in the grass, proving that something has passed here. But I didn't want to believe it was made by the carp on the hillside. Otherwise, the fish would have really become sperm.
To the left of the grass forest is Longtou Mountain, which is a flat land under Longtou Mountain. Looking up from below, Longtou Mountain is not high, but the continuous mountains are breathtaking.
To satisfy our curiosity, we walked in search of the pressed grass. The grass is very dense, and I am afraid that snakes, insects, rats and ants will emerge from the grass. The grass here rubbed my skin very painfully, and it didn't matter if the two big men and I were thick and thick, but Hotaru's delicate skin was easily scratched.
I was wondering if I should continue to chase the indentations in the grass. Because this has little to do with our purpose, we are here to find clues to the words "Nine Palace Prisoner Cow". We felt that the Longgu Temple on Longtou Mountain was related to these four words, so our destination was Longgu Temple.
As I was thinking about it, I noticed that the weeds in front of me were getting shorter and shorter, and it was relatively easy to walk. At this point, the weeds are only knee-high. We found two large ponds not far away, and a dozen dilapidated houses were sparsely covered near the ponds. This is probably the nearby village!
We walked quickly to one of the ponds, and Fei Bao said solemnly, "The water here is deep enough to raise that kind of fat carp." The fish on the hillside should have passed from here. ”
Suddenly, a fish jumped up from the water, it was a carp of more than ten catties, the same fish on the hillside.
"Why should they go over? Is it like you, idle and have nothing to do? I said.
"Have you ever seen an animal documentary where those salmon keep swimming up the river and back to their birthplace to lay their eggs?"
"This is land, how are they going to lay their eggs? Land submarines? Swimming in the dirt? ”
"Can't you jump over it?"
"Brother Fat Bao, your imagination is not bad!" I said with a little sarcasm, "But you don't look at what route those carp are taking." It is at least a kilometer away from Wolongpo, which is a long march for fish, a long march that cannot breathe. Those carp didn't jump to the hillside, or they would have died because of lack of oxygen. ”
"Then how do you explain that there are fish in Wolongpo? How are you going to explain the indentation in the grass?"
"Maybe someone put the carp on the hillside!" Hotaru said.
"It's also possible!" I said, "I don't want to believe that it was a carp!" ”
"If it's man-made, what are people doing with so many fish on a hillside full of weeds?" Fei Bao said, "Do you want to grow fish? Seed the fish on the ground and wait for them to give birth to small fish before harvesting them next fall? ”
"Fat Bao, don't come out and be funny!"
"Then you explain it to me!"
"Don't dwell on this question." Hotaru said, "Anyway, we didn't come here to find these fish, our destination is the Dragon Ancient Temple." Let's go to the front house and ask the local villagers how to get to the Longgu Temple! ”
"Hotaru is right!" I say.
"Hotaru-chan is right!" Fat Bao looked at me dissatisfied, "What I said is wrong! ”
"If only you knew!" I said it with a straight face.
"Cut!"
"That's it! All right! Hotaru said, "Don't make any noise! Let's go check it out! ”
The houses here are all old-fashioned houses with a high layer of white ash and cement. The houses are faded with age, and some have creepers. There are also a lot of weeds growing on the roads here.
We walked to the nearest house, the doorway was quite dilapidated and the gate was closed. We continued on our way, passing several houses with closed gates.
"Is there anyone living in this kind of house?" Fei Bao said.
We stopped in front of one of the houses, which was also closed, and Fat Treasure went to the window and looked inside, and said, "It's empty, it looks like no one really lives in it."
"Maybe the villagers here have moved to the city." I said, "It's normal that no one lives here!" ”
"Let's take a look at a few more!" Hotaru said.
We continued on and there were only a dozen houses here, and we quickly looked through them all. It was found that all the houses were closed doors. I guess it's really uninhabited.
"Strange!" Fei Bao said, "If there is no one living here, why can the fish be so fat?" ”
This question of Feibao is also a question that I am thinking about. It is quite strange that there are so many carp on Wolong Slope, and what is even more strange is that there are signs that these fish should be raised in a pond a kilometer away. If someone had put the fish on Wolong Slope, that would barely explain why those fish were there. Let's not talk about why you put the fish there, but at least someone has to do it! This small village looks as abandoned as a park for a long time. What's going on here?
I told Fat Treasure and Hotaru about my doubts, and neither of us could give a satisfactory answer. Just as we were thinking, there was a "bang", as if the sound of a heavy object falling from the house not far to the right.
We all looked over in amazement.
Fei Bao said: "Didn't you confirm that there was no one in that house just now?" The stove outside the doorway had blackened the walls, and the windows had a large hole. I was particularly impressed. I remember there were only some worn-out furniture there! How can there be a sound?"
"Could it be a rat knocking down the furniture inside?" Hotaru said.
"That sound just now seems to have come from a heavy object falling!" I said, "How can a rat push a heavy object?" ”
All three of us were on our toes.
I motioned for Fat Treasure to pull out his saber, and we slowly approached the house.
