Chapter 71: Sitting on a tree and watching the dragon fight

The night was deep, the fire on the hillside in the distance was still flickering, Liu Qing didn't dare to turn on the flashlight indiscriminately, he didn't have any protection here, once he attracted some beasts, it was estimated that he wouldn't even survive tonight.

Unable to sleep, Liu Qing half-closed his eyes, both worried and resting. It was quiet all around, without the slightest sound, except for the occasional rustle of insects eating leaves, and I don't know how long it took for the click of a dead branch being trampled off.

Liu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, quietly reached out and took out the pistol from the satchel, loaded the bullet, opened the safe, pinched the flashlight in the other hand, listened to the direction from which the sound came, and was ready to turn on the light and shoot at any time.

It must be an animal rather than a dinosaur, and the size should not be large, Liu Qing made a judgment from the footsteps that came. First of all, this sound is very soft, if it is a dinosaur or other large animal, the sound of stepping on the ground will definitely not be so soft, and secondly, because of the silence of the night, he can only hear the sound of feet stepping on the ground, plus the ground here is covered with many dead leaves and branches, otherwise he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to hear the sound of footsteps.

The spirit was highly tense, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and when Liu Qing felt that the footsteps were within ten meters, he suddenly turned on the flashlight, and a pillar of light instantly shot in the direction of the source of the sound, and at the same time, the pistol had already been raised, and he shot as soon as he saw the target.

The sudden bright light startled the animals walking here, and they stayed in place for a moment, but they didn't know that Liu Qing was waiting for this opportunity. However, when he saw the target clearly, he didn't shoot, because the target was not another beast, but Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was very excited to see Liu Qing, and roared lowly, Liu Qing saw that it was holding something in its mouth with the help of the light.

Xiao Wu is not the only tiger in the mountains and forests, but the reason why Liu Qing confirmed that it is Xiao Wu at a glance is naturally because Xiao Wu is different from other tigers. Most of the same kind of wild animals look very similar, in the case of unfamiliarity, it is difficult to distinguish, just like for foreigners, the appearance of Chinese is mostly similar, and in the eyes of Chinese, the appearance of foreigners is not much different, only after mutual familiarity, can be easily recognized.

Liu Qing sleeps with Xiao Wu almost every day and grows up with it, so he is very familiar with the patterns on Xiao Wu's body, so he can recognize it at a glance. There are three colors on Xiao Wu's body, the most is light yellow, then white and brown, the three colors are intertwined to form a wave-like pattern, and on the head of Xiao Wu, there is a circle of black patterns, which happens to surround Xiao Wu's head, the circle is light yellow, and the top of the head is a little white in the middle, which is very easy to identify.

At least so far, among the few saber-toothed tigers that Liu Qing has seen, none of them have been found to be the same as Xiao Wuhua, including its dead mother. Seeing that Xiao Wu was back, Liu Qing was excited and excited, and he could see that Xiao Wu was also very happy, and ran towards Liu Qing quickly.

When he arrived at Liu Qing's side, Xiao Wu's mouth loosened, and a small animal fell to the ground, Liu Qing didn't have the time to see what it was, so he hugged Xiao Wu's neck, but he immediately found that Xiao Wu's whole body was wet.

"Where did you go?!" Liu Qing asked complainingly while patting Xiao Wu's back.

Xiao Wu didn't understand, but just whined from his throat in a low voice, indicating that he missed him too.

After Liu Qing calmed down, he asked very suspiciously: "Xiao Wu, why are you wet, where have you been?"

Liu Qing had already seen it when he observed at the top of the mountain, they were already far away from the sea, and it seemed that the drop was also very large, and there were obstacles such as cliffs, but Xiao Wu was now soaking wet, and he must have gone into the water.

Xiao Wu naturally didn't answer his words, but just loosened his mouth, and an animal corpse fell to the ground. And Liu Qing is only now beginning to notice the prey captured by Xiao Wu. At first glance, he was a little speechless, this little animal was nothing else, it was the kind of duck-billed dinosaur they had tracked in the afternoon, Liu Qing was even thinking, is this one of the three?

After staring at it for a while, Liu Qing thought to himself, it is estimated that it is one of the three in every ten years, after all, he is very confident in Xiao Wu's sense of smell. At the same time, Liu Qing also realized why Xiao Wu ran out for so long, it turned out that he was not leaving himself, nor was he preying, but to catch something for himself to eat! As for why he wanted to catch this kind of dinosaur, Liu Qing also thought that he should be following these three little dinosaurs in the afternoon, so Xiao Wu mistakenly thought that he wanted to eat it! So he worked tirelessly and even went into the water to catch this dinosaur.

In fact, Xiao Wu followed Liu Qing to chase the three duck-billed dinosaurs for a long time, and when it was dark and Liu Qing took out something to eat, Xiao Wu knew that Liu Qing was hungry, so it did not eat the food given by Liu Qing, but ran out by itself, and with its unusually sensitive sense of smell, it easily found the place where the three little dinosaurs rested.

However, the vigilance of these three little dinosaurs is also extremely high, Xiao Wu has not yet approached, they ran away, Xiao Wu chased after him, and finally caught one by a river, bit it to death and threw it on the ground, and went to chase the other two. The three dinosaurs did not have as much vision at night as Xiao Wu, they ran blindly and finally caught another one in the shallow water area of the river bank, Xiao Wu threw this one to the shore and jumped into the river but the third one had swam to the middle of the river, it also jumped into the river and swam forward, but after chasing for a while, it couldn't see anything, so it returned to the shore stupidly.

Xiao Wu was also tired and hungry, so he ate one by himself before picking up the other one and returning the same way. It's just that Xiao Wu can't speak, so he can't communicate with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing can guess what Xiao Wu means, and he didn't come up out of thin air, on the way down the mountain, Xiao Wu wanted to rush out two or three times, Liu Qing was afraid of disturbing the three little dinosaurs leading the way, while walking, he wanted to grab the fur on the back of Xiao Wu's neck, and every time he wanted to rush out, he was dragged by himself.

The terrain here is low, and there are all kinds of plants to shade it, so you can't see the sea at all, and Liu Qing also judged based on the terrain he observed on the top of the mountain, which is far from the sea. But Xiao Wu's body is wet, which means that it has been in the water, that is, there is a water source nearby. After coming out all day, Liu Qing tried his best to save the water in the kettle, and now there is only half a pot left, and it is time to replenish the water.

Liu Qing didn't eat this duck-billed dinosaur, he had food, and this was caught by Xiao Wu with all his might, and he wanted to keep it for Xiao Wu for tomorrow's breakfast.

"Silly little five! stupid little five!" Liu Qing hugged Xiao Wu extremely lovingly and fell asleep.

"Son, son," Liu Qing shouted loudly, "Dad is back to see you!" Liu Qing shouted as he knocked on the door. It was not his daughter-in-law or his son who opened the door, but he knew that the door was open, and he opened it and entered the room, still calling for his son.

Suddenly, his son suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a toy water gun in his hand, aiming at Liu Qing is a burst of sudge, his face was covered with water, and soon dripped down his chin and onto the military uniform on his chest.

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble," Liu Qing raised his hand to wipe the water stains on his face and said to his son. At the same time, he looked up in the room. When he turned back again, he was suddenly a little trembling with fright, and the person standing in front of him was no longer a son, but a colorful tiger, and this tiger actually had a child in its mouth, and was staring up at himself at the moment.

Liu Qing was startled, and looked at it, isn't this tiger holding his own son in his mouth? How can this be? When he looked at it again, he felt that this tiger was also very familiar, was it Xiao Wu?

didn't wait for Liu Qing to look at it again, but saw that the child in the tiger's mouth suddenly came to life, giggled and crossed his legs, *** like a faucet that opened the floodgates, and urinated a big bubble at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing didn't care if he was clean or not, so he reached out and was about to pounce on him and grab him......

"Whoa......

Liu Qing woke up, the sky was a little gray and bright, one of his hands was still stretched out, and he opened his five fingers and stopped in mid-air. It was a dream! Liu Qing put down his hand and found that he didn't know when it was raining, no wonder there was water sprinkled on his face all the time in the dream.

"It's raining!" Liu Qing cried out, Xiao Wu was also awakened, the two couldn't tell who was in whose arms, half leaning on a tall grass, and slept under its wide leaves. Although the leaves were large, they could only shelter a little bit of rain, and from time to time raindrops splashed and scattered on the two of them. Fortunately, there were fur blankets, which didn't make the two soup chickens.

Standing up, I looked at the top of the mountain in the distance, and the fire seemed to have been extinguished, but I saw that there were wisps of green smoke rising from the places where the fire had passed, which should have been emitted by embers. The rain in early spring, although not big, but everywhere is cool, this spring rain can definitely be called a timely rain, a devastating fire, was saved by it.

However, Liu Qing looked at this mountain forest, although the fire was extinguished, but he still could not return to live in the cave, the destroyed forest area was too large, too many animals had left, even if it took advantage of the spring, many plants could sprout and grow, it would take at least three or five years to recover, Liu Qing could not stay in that cave, and go to several miles away every day to hunt, even if there was a ginger bean field.

Looking up at the sky, the clouds are very thick, and there is no sunlight at all, and it is estimated that it will rain for a while. Xiao Wuban squatted on the side, biting the little dinosaur caught last night, its requirements were very simple, with Liu Qing, it was enough to eat every day.

Liu Qing also ate something, drank some water, put the things into the rattan basket, carried it, touched Xiao Wu's head, and motioned for it to get up. Liu Qing closed his eyes, recalled the terrain he saw at the top of the mountain yesterday, roughly identified the direction, and continued to move north. In the dense tall grass, there is a man and a tiger, and I don't know how to choose the direction of progress, it is more like walking aimlessly.

Liu Qing now needs to find a place he thinks is safe to live in, after all, it is home to incredible animals, including dinosaurs, and it is not enough to build a house anywhere to ensure safety. As he walked, Liu Qing seemed to hear the sound of water, could it be that the place he was in was really an isolated island as he had imagined at first?

What appeared in front of Liu Qing's eyes was an endless water surface, the only difference was that the extension of the water surface here was pale green, not blue like the previous sea. Green, green, what kind of water is this? Is it a lake? Or is it a big river?

Liu Qing and Xiao Wu stood on the shore, he suddenly half-squatted and put down the rattan basket, then leaned down, stretched out his hand and scooped a handful of water, it looked very clear, slightly stretched out the tip of his tongue and tasted it, there was no taste, and there was a slight sweetness, it was fresh water! This is fresh water! Liu Qing looked at the water and smiled.
