Chapter 25: Stab wounds
We were chatting all the way, but Lin Fanyin, who was leading the way in front, suddenly screamed, I quickly grabbed her and took her behind me, and said, "What's wrong?!" β
She was obviously frightened, grabbed my arm hard and said, "There's something on the grass up ahead......"
Something? I looked to the place where she was fingering, and there was something foreign on the grass in front of me. It stands to reason that Lin Fanyin has been hunting with the old man Lin Shan all the year round, and his courage should be not small, what can scare Lin Fanyin like this?
At this time, Dajin also squeezed up, and the two of us asked Lin Fanyin to follow the little ghost behind, and then stepped forward to check.
When I got closer, I could see what was hanging from the grass, and my scalp exploded. This looks like a piece of skin, with thick black hair on it, and if you look closely, this should be a piece of human scalp!
There was still flesh attached to the scalp, just stuck to the grass, and there were streaks of blood underneath. It seemed as if something had ripped the man's scalp off and tossed it aside. Judging by the degree of blood clotting, this was already five or six days ago.
Five or six days ago, it should have been the time for the group of hunters to come to the rescue.
That's not right. Could it be that the hunter has been attacked by this thing? But why didn't Lin Shan mention it?
Dajin looked at it for a while, pointed to the ground and said, "Look." β
I even looked at it, and the grass on the ground had obvious traces of dragging, and there were still blood stains.
Daikin and I looked at each other, and Daikin said softly, "Go over and have a look?" β
I nodded, I had to see with my own eyes to figure out what was really going on. Judging by the extent of the scalp's tear, the man should have died, but what was it that was so cruel?
Daikin kicked the scalp off and kicked it away. I look faintly disgusting, but Dajin is light and light. I went back and said to Lin Fanyin: "Something should have happened ahead, you stand still first, and we will come when we go." β
The little ghost sensed something and nodded repeatedly. "Go, we are waiting for you here." β
I couldn't stand the appearance of the little clever egg, so I comforted Lin Fanyin a few words, and turned around to leave.
"Brother Lu." Lin Fanyin suddenly called out to me.
I turned around, confused. I thought she would say with tears in her eyes like her husband who sent her to war, "Be careful. β
But I was wrong.
Hearing only the sound of 'poof', Lin Fanyin pulled out a knife from behind his back, which startled me. This is a fine hunting knife, judging from the worn-out hilt, it has been used for a long time, but the blade is still sharp and shiny, and it can be seen that it has been wiped frequently.
Lin Fanyin handed me the knife, lowered his head and said, "I'm too timid...... My knife is for you...... I'm sorry....... β
I looked at Lin Fanyin's pitiful appearance, and I wanted to take her into my arms, but I gritted my teeth and held back. I took her hunting knife and said with a smile: "It's not a girl's job to fight and kill, it's a girl's job to be quiet, it's a girl's beauty, leave these things to us, I'll come when I go." He turned around and left.
I don't know how dashing my turn is. But suddenly I felt so comfortable in my heart, there was something called manhood emanating from my body, and I suddenly realized that it felt much better to take care of someone than to be taken care of by others.
Lin Fanyin looked at my back, and a strange light appeared in her big eyes as pure as glass.
I caught up with Dajin in a few steps, and Dajin saw the hunting knife in my hand and exclaimed, "Damn, where did you get this good fellow?" β
I gestured a few times and said sweetly: "Sanskrit Yin gave it to me." β
"Tsk." Dajin took my knife and patted it: "Good steel mouth, this is enough as a love token." β
I slapped Daikin to stop talking nonsense, and Daikin pulled the sapper shovel out of his backpack.
This sapper shovel is a domestic military universal folding shovel, a good licensed product. The entire body is made of alloy, which is light and hard, with a sharp steel mouth on one side and a saw edge on the other. Not to mention the ability to dig holes, just as a weapon, a shovel can cut off half of a person's head, which is much better than some controlled knives.
I also carried a handful of it, but I didn't take it out, because I had the knife that Sanskrit had given me, I thought to myself.
Seeing that I looked stupid, Dajin couldn't help but scold me: "Isn't it just a girl, I'll match you two after a while, don't shake your basic position because of personal feelings." β
As soon as I saw that Daikin began to force the big clichΓ© again, I couldn't help but say, "Do you think everyone is as unstable as everybody?" A leader once said that a lover who does not aim to get married is a hooligan. Firm ** love needs to be piled up like a building, and an old rascal like you doesn't understand. β
Daikin was not annoyed, and laughed: "That's good, that's good." β
stumbled with Dajin for two sentences, and the previous tension was gone. The two of us fumbled and followed the bloodstains, brushed aside the tall weeds in front of us, and slowly entered......
At first, I was afraid of getting lost, but Daikin said that since I could follow the bloodstains and go back with the bloodstains, I wouldn't be worried. The further we went, the more frightened we became, and we found a lot of blood and some visceral intestines that had been littered on the weeds.
I was a little timid, it was clearly not a human doing, it should be some kind of ferocious beast. A cold sweat also broke out on Dajin's head, and he muttered: "I knew that I had borrowed a shotgun from Old Man Nalin, at least I was steady." β
I'm afraid, but after all, we are two adults with sharp weapons, and generally speaking, the beasts on the mountain, as long as they are not a tiger and lion, can be solved. If you look around this barren area, it would be nice to have a wild wolf......
Finally, pushing away the pile of grass in front of us, we saw the corpse. The corpse had been bitten to a bloody pulp, arms and legs had all been torn off, two had been bitten to pieces, and the rest of the body had been bitten to pieces. It had been dead for too long, and it was summer, and it was already highly rotten, and a large swarm of flies stuck to it.
We didn't dare to get closer, lest we run into the swarm of green-headed flies, so we could only watch from a few steps. The ground was covered with blood and weeds, and it was impossible to tell what kind of animal had done it.
Dajin found a rock, threw it at the corpse, drove all the pesky flies away, and then went up to check on it, and I hurried after it.
As soon as I got closer, an extreme stench entered my nose. If I hadn't just smeared the wind oil essence, I would have fainted from this thing.
Dajin covered his nose, squatted down, and said, "He's a member of the Shaozi Gang, look at the clothes." β
I took a look, although it was torn to shreds, judging from the broken clothes, it was really the same as Lao Hai's, and it should be Lao Hai's brother.
What happened to him, to die so miserably? I looked closely at his wounds, all of which were signs of being bitten, and a large hole had been cut on his stomach, and the contents had been eaten clean.
Judging from the paw prints, it should be a feline and not small...... I immediately thought of leopards. Leopards, like wolves, were abundant in the mountains before liberation because they stood at the top of the food chain. Many inexperienced hunters died under their attack, but after liberation, large-scale farming was carried out, and the encirclement of wild beasts led to the near extinction of leopards, and if they were, they should be deep in the mountains and forests.
In such a barren land and sparsely vegetated place, there are even leopards?
My nerves suddenly tensed and I stood up.
Leopards are the best at sneak attacks, especially in this kind of tall grass, and the leopard may be crouching right in front of you, waiting for you to come over and bite your throat.
With its lightning speed, I probably didn't even get a chance to swing a knife......
At this time, Dajin, who had been squatting on the ground to check the corpse, suddenly spoke up: "Anzi, come and see!" β
I hurriedly looked over, only to see Dajin pointing to the neck of the corpse, which had not been bitten a few bites, and was relatively intact, you must know that the beast likes to eat internal organs the most, followed by meat.
I was a little relieved to think about it, it seems that this animal is not too big, otherwise it would not have eaten only this.
"Look." Daikin pointed to the wounds on the corpse's neck.
I looked at it carefully and said, "This is ...... Paw prints? Wrong...... This should be...... Cuts! Didn't he get bitten to death? β
Daikin stood up and said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, he should have been cut by someone and abandoned in the wilderness to be gnawed like this." β
I definitely thought that the Gang of Young Sons was the second group to come in. I heard the crazy old sea say that they encountered thirty-three bronze lions before they died...... How do you think they were killed instead?
What the hell is going on?
