Chapter 15: The Secret Weapon (1)
In the middle of the night, there were only a few occasional calls of birds of unknown species in the forest, and the low chirping of insects in the grass, the grass leaves did not shake, indicating that there was not a trace of wind, and the stars in the sky blinked tired and sad eyes at the world.
Because he was so tired, the big man Lao Hu fell asleep groggily with his half-truncated semi-automatic rifle, even though he repeatedly warned him in his consciousness that he couldn't sleep, he must not sleep, but his eyes really couldn't continue to hold on. In the end, she fell asleep unconsciously, and Xinyu also fell asleep on the edge of the tent at this time, she didn't even know when she fell asleep, and her white and pretty face still had tears of sadness for the loss of her lover.
She didn't feel scared and scared because she was guarding a cold corpse, because she knew and knew in her heart that what she was guarding was not a corpse, but a "living" person, her lover who had been in love for many years, even if Xu Jiandong really became a ghost, she didn't care about being afraid.
The four of them slept soundly and sweetly, obviously caused by the continuous travel, God took care of it, and the night passed without incident.
The sun was gradually rising from the east, and a round of golden sunlight poured out on the earth, abandoning the darkness of nature, and returning to a colorful landscape, and the birds and finches began to fly merrily among the branches of the forest and hover and sing loudly.
The big man Lao Hu woke up first, he looked up and looked around, and saw that Xinyu still hadn't woken up, so he got up and came to the side of the tent, wanting to wake her up and let her go into the tent to sleep well.
When he walked up to Xinyu, Leng Buding found that Xu Jiandong's body was gone, leaving only a military blanket and wildflowers in a circle.
This surprise was not trivial, so he quickly woke up Xinyu.
"Brother and sister! ………… Wake up! Why is Lao Xu's body gone?! The big man asked quickly.
Dizzy, Xinyu opened his eyes that were red and swollen from crying, and when he heard the words of the big man Lao Hu at first glance, his heart was violently excited, and the person was also mentally sleepy, and the red eyes were kicked to the boss, looking at the empty military blanket in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sad again, and cried loudly, although he couldn't cry many tears.
It didn't matter if she cried, she woke up the thin man and Xiaoting who were still asleep in the tent.
The thin man's movements were relatively agile, and he turned over and jumped up and ran to the outside of the tent, and he couldn't help but feel stunned when he saw it.
"Old Hu? ………… What do you think? What were you doing last night? It's good now, even Brother Xu's corpse has been lost ............! The thin man glanced at the big man and said reproachfully The big man Lao Hu listened to the thin man's words, and couldn't help but be annoyed, so he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense there, who would have thought that Lao Xu's corpse would be lost by himself............!" ”
Xiaoting came out at this time and persuaded: "Okay, Brother Hu, don't quarrel with the two of you, it's already messy enough!" Let's look around............! ”
The big man Lao Hu and the thin man heard Xiaoting's words, felt that what she said made sense, and didn't say anything anymore, and then the four of them began to look for it.
"Huh............? I said Lao Hu, what did this fat man do when he stole Brother Xu's corpse? The thin man suddenly said to the big man at this time.
The big man Lao Hu heard his words and asked suspiciously, "What .........?" You said that the fat man stole Lao Xu's body............ How is this possible?! ”
The thin man did not answer his question, but pointed to the two big footprints on the ground, and said to him: "Look at these grasses have been trampled down, such a big foot print, I think only he can step on it............ ”
The big man looked down and said, "That's right............ It must have been the fat man who secretly carried Lao Xu's body away while we were asleep. ”
Then the two of them followed the big footprints all the way to the foot of the mountain, and thus determined that it was the fat man who did it.
Xiaoting stepped forward to persuade Xinyu, saying something like people who can't be resurrected to enlighten her, and said that it is not a way to cry like this, and she will cry blind if her eyes are clear.
I only heard Xinyu sigh and said faintly: "I originally thought that I would choose a better place to bury Jiandong's body, but I didn't expect it to ............." After a pause, he said, "I don't think the fat man will eat the corpse of his friend, right?" ”
"Yes, the fat man has become a monster, but his essence is kind, and if it hadn't been for him to help us yesterday, I'm afraid we would all be eaten by those giant strange birds.........." Xiaoting said.
The big man Lao Hu and the thin man nodded at the same time and said, "Xiaoting is right! If the fat man really became unrecognizable, he wouldn't come out to help us kill the ............ of those big birds. ”
"However, I don't understand, what is the purpose of this fat man to steal Lao Xu's body? I really don't know what he's up to............ The big man said suspiciously.
The thin man said: "I think maybe this fat man chose a feng shui treasure for Brother Xu on the top of the mountain, which may be so that he can overlook the whole ............ after he dies At least it's better than burying yourself at the foot of this mountain. ”
"Maybe, if that's the case, it couldn't be better............." The big man said nonsense.
Everyone entered the tent, and no one was in the mood to say anything, just sat silently on their bunks, secretly sad.
Xiaoting sat next to Xinyu and helped her wipe the tears on her face from time to time.
The thin man looked at this tragic scene, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little rosy, and he sat on his bunk without saying a word.
The big man Lao Hu sat on the bunk for a while, then got up and said, "I'll go to the pond in the west to catch a few more fish, Qiangzi, you are here to accompany Xiaoting and her younger siblings, their safety depends on you............." ”
"Don't worry, you have to be careful yourself, don't forget to bring your gun!" The thin man told the big man to talk nonsense.
Nodding, the big man got up and filled the magazine of the half-cut semi-automatic rifle with bullets, took the hook and fishing line, and walked to the pond to the west.
"What are we going to do next?" Xinyu stopped crying and asked the thin man.
The thin man thought for a while, sighed and said, "What's next?" I haven't figured out the next step yet, I think let's have dinner first, and then discuss it with the big man Lao Hu......... After all, the more people there are, the more ideas. ”
When Xiaoting heard this, she said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Who doesn't know that we're going to have to eat first............ ”
"Huh? I said Xiaoting, are we born to commit crimes, why do you want to hurt me as soon as I speak, what do you mean? You're not my wife, why are you so lenient............! The thin man rolled his eyes at her a little angrily.
With a red face, Xiao Ting wiped the tears on her face, glanced at the thin man fiercely and said, "Phew............!" You want to be beautiful, just your virtue, and you still want to marry a wife, whose girl marries you, won't be blind............! ”
As soon as the thin man heard this, he immediately became angry, stood up and said, "What's wrong with me? I haven't done bad things, but I often do good things, where did I offend you, you hurt my ............ so much! ”
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more noisy, Xinyu waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Qiangzi, you are old as an elder brother, let Xiaoting be a little bit............ Xiaoting, you also learn to respect your brother Yin, have the time to rest and rest, don't always quarrel, your brother Yin is right, after breakfast, we will discuss what to do. ”
Xiao Ting stopped making a sound when she heard Xinyu say this, turned her head and stopped looking at the thin man, and the thin man also had a hot face, presumably because she felt that her actions just now were out of order, in order to find a step for herself, she said to Xinyu: "Sister-in-law, I'll go pick up some dry firewood, it'll be good for cooking in a while." ”
Xinyu nodded.
The big man threw the hook into the pond, lit a cigarette and smoked it, and looked around to check the situation as he smoked.
Before I knew it, I had reached the slope of the stone flat to the west.
Looking at the stone flat, the big man Lao Hu remembered the situation where he sat on it and chatted with Xu Jiandong yesterday, and he didn't expect that after a short time, others had already gone away, and he couldn't help but sigh again, feeling the deep grief of parting with his friends.
At the bottom of the hillside is a curved path paved with large pieces of bluestone.
This bluestone path resembles a curved blue-gray ribbon that sits on the green grass.
The trail stretches for several hundred meters to the west into the woods, behind which are misty peaks, to the south is a large gentle slope with a dense forest and a mountain behind, and to the north is a continuous forest.
The meadows here are dotted with some bright wildflowers, presenting a beautiful picture of nature.
Such a view stunned the big man Lao Hu, and for a while he put aside all the troubles and sorrows.
Suddenly, ................
A heart-piercing pain came from his fingers, and the sensation quickly spread to the nerve center of his brain, and consciousness drove him to lower his head.
It turned out that the cigarette had burned to the butt of the cigarette before I knew it.
I looked up at the sun and hurriedly put away my thoughts. I thought, by the way, I'll see if the fish has been hooked.
At that moment, he turned around and came to the place where the fishing line was placed, and there was still something left, and there was no less, so he was relieved a little, and looked towards the tent again, and saw that there was no abnormality, so he sat down on the stone again and continued to catch fish.
Xinyu and Xiaoting cleaned up the inside of the tent again, and opened all the ventilation and mosquito screens on the tent.
When Xinyu saw Xu Jiandong's black aluminum alloy folding table and his military backpack, he couldn't help but have a sour nose again, and tears rolled in his eyes, afraid that if he was subjected to a little more external force, tears would flow down like a flood that burst the embankment.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiandong has already gone away, these things are still there, he wants to pack them up and take them back to his parents for safekeeping, now these things are his relics, Xiaoting turned her head, glanced at Xinyu, and was sad and sad for her in her heart.
Xu Jiandong's military backpack is too heavy, and it can weigh more than sixty pounds.
Xinyu can be said to be unable to lift it at all, so he can only drag it to the open space in the middle of the tent.
The contents of the backpack were taken out by her one by one and placed on the ground.
At first, I didn't think it was like anything, but the more I took it out, the more surprised I became, and I said, "I've been in love with him for nearly two years, why have I never seen him take or use these things?" What kind of character is he? What does it do? What other secrets haven't been told to me? ”
A series of questions kept flashing question marks in Xinyu's mind, and then he thought about it again, Brother Xu and the others were no longer there, and these things were irrelevant, even if he knew, what could he do.
The thin man threw the dry wood he had picked up on the ground outside the tent, and then went into the tent to get a lighter and prepare to light it.
Suddenly, when he saw these strangely shaped things on the ground in front of Xinyu, he couldn't help but show his surprised gaze, and stood on the ground staring intently.
"Sister-in-law! Are these all Brother Xu's things? The thin man couldn't believe his eyes.
Xinyu glanced up at the thin man and nodded.
But see these things, big and small, strange shapes.
There are special aluminum alloy wolf's eye flashlights, two plate No. 7 flashlight batteries, a bracket that looks like a bow and crossbow elastic arm plate, a folding butt made of aluminum alloy frame, and three packs of about 100 metal arrows with plastic tails and three arrows.
The arrows were specially made, some with a barb on one side, some with barbs on both sides, some in the shape of a flute, and one of the arrows in a pack was very pointed and hollow, like a very long syringe.
Another pack of about 50 sticks, all metal, like it was made of aluminum, with four plastic feathers at the end of the arrow, the whole body of the arrow was black, the head was slightly larger, it was hollow, and there were screws inside, as if it could be connected to something else.
A green military-standard sapper shovel, folded very small, in a camouflage canvas bag, and an aluminum box containing twenty, black, somewhat grenade-like things.
These cylindrical objects, about 3 centimeters in diameter and 12 centimeters long, were about 100 or so squares in the lower two-thirds, like grenades, and had a red button on their heads, the upper part was separate from the lower part, and there were scales on it, apparently rotating
