Volume 2 Xia He Chapter 75 Stepping on the Point
The sun is like fire, and the sweat is like pulp. The pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info good and entered the woods in a short time.
The jagged trees in the forest shade the sky and the sun, and the fragrance of the trees is mixed with the smell of rotten wood. There are vines wrapped around it, and the sunlight can only penetrate through the cracks, and the light spots on the dead leaves and weeds are speckled with light. There are birds passing through the forest, and the song is crisp and loud. In it, the shade is cool and comfortable, and the sweat glands suddenly converge, which is very different from the scalp that has just been exposed to the scorching sun.
Listening to the weather forecast on the radio last night, the highest temperature in the region today is 37 degrees.
The fat man and I are here to "step on the spot", and he has to lead me to the place where he is sick.
Also coming to the county are drunkards, Aunt Hu and Liu Lili. I invited the drunkard, he has a lot of experience, we have worked together many times, and I am more sure to have him to help.
The drunkard and I went to the Sangong Bridge yesterday, and the fat man led us to the bus to the county early this morning. The dilapidated passenger car must stop along the way, drive slowly, and arrive at the county seat at noon. When our group arrived at the hospital, it was already past dinner, and the fat man led us down to the restaurant. After dinner, the fat man and I came to the victory water banquet, and Aunt Hu and Liu Lili accompanied the drunkard to go shopping in the county seat.
The fox only comes out at night, and it is difficult to find it during the day. There is no need for a drunkard to come with me when he is too old, and he will come back with me at night when I find a place.
Shengli Reservoir is the source of life for the residents of the county, and it is only separated by a hill from the People's Hospital, but it is not far away. The fat man led me to the reservoir dam for more than half an hour. The reservoir was in the shape of a trouser and opposite the dam was a large mountain, and the water ran inward along the foot of the mountain, and the place where they had a picnic was on the hill in the waterway on the left.
It was not far to row a boat, but unfortunately there was no boat in sight on the wide water, so I had to walk. The fat man led me over a hill and into this large dense forest.
The mountain trail was rugged and the afternoon sun was scorching, nothing to me, a mountain boy who had been wild in the mountains at a few years old, but the fat man who had just recovered from a serious illness was hot and tired, panting with his mouth wide open, sitting in the shady forest, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the reservoir at the bottom of the mountain, and not wanting to get up for a long time. He pointed to a slope in front of me and said, "Right there, we were having a picnic on that slope, and the brook was on the inside side, and we could see it when we got to that slope." ”
I glanced at him who was tired and said, "Then you can rest here for a while, and I'll go over there for a while, and when the sun is about to set, it's cool, and then we'll go down the mountain." ”
The fat man said embarrassedly, "Then I'll wait for you here." It's so tired and hot, I just don't want to move. ”
I nodded, and walked alone to the slope not far away.
The slope is not big, it looks relatively flat, only to find that it is a cliff on the side of the reservoir, the opposite mountain of the ditch is mostly bare rocks, the green vine is paved, it is very steep and precipitous, the mountainside is the lush forest of verdant and deep depth, standing on the slope, the mountain on the water surface, it is really a beautiful scenery, no wonder they chose to have a picnic here.
I looked at the ravine on the side of the hillside, and sure enough, there was a very small mountain stream gurgling down from the top of the ravine, and a sheep intestine path covered by firewood and grass led obliquely to the ravine.
On both sides of this section of the ravine near the water, the firewood, grass and thorns grow particularly luxuriantly, and the stream is still vigorous and green under the scorching afternoon sun, and the stream is covered by them, and only the crisp sound of "ding ding dong dong" can be heard. I took a look at my surroundings and there was nothing wrong with me, everything was fine.
I relaxed and looked at it with interest.
For such a mountain stream, I feel very kind. In a remote place like this, few people visit, and needless to say, there must be a lot of crabs in the mountain streams. I was itching, and without hesitation, I went into the ditch, found a small puddle, bent down, blew off the floating leaves on the water, drank a few sips of the clear and sweet water, and then gently opened a stone the size of the bottom of a basin, and as expected, a crab the size of my fist did not perceive the danger, and was lying in the water and squirming leisurely. Without hesitation, I reached out and grabbed it in my hand with lightning speed.
I overturned several stone slabs one after the other, and there was a crab large or small under each of them, and two under one stone. It's a pity that there is nothing to bring with you, otherwise, it will definitely not be a problem to catch a few catties of crabs in this mountain stream.
I caught and released the crabs and played with them, but it was a pity that they were so delicious that I couldn't take them with me. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly remembered the purpose of my trip, and thought that the fat man was waiting for me in the forest alone, so I quickly left the mountain stream, climbed the slope above the slope, and returned to the forest.
What about the fat man? There was no one as far as the eye could see. I shouted "fatty" and no one answered. I said "Huh", where did this guy go? Do you have to find a place to? So I screamed again, but after a few times, there was still no response, and I had a bad feeling in my heart.
Roughly estimated that I played by the ravine stream for an hour, and it stands to reason that the fat man will not leave here, let alone leave alone, he must have met something.
There should be no beasts on the mountains in this area. There are no wolves or tigers in our area, the most annoying are only wild boars and snakes, but they don't eat people, it's a big deal to bite you a few times, even if the fat man really encounters him, people should still be here, and they won't disappear.
I walked quickly to the place where he had rested, and saw that the firewood and grass that he had been crushed by his ass were still lying down, and some broken sticks were discarded on the mud floor, presumably he was playing with them because he was bored while waiting for me. Nothing else is out of the ordinary.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and I suddenly smelled a faint strange smell, and suddenly my breath was suffocated, and my heart was horrified, and I completely understood that something was wrong.
Body odor! It must have been the demon fox who came here while I wasn't there, and the fat man was fascinated by it.
Now it's troublesome, this mountain is high and dense, and it's not familiar with the terrain, where to find someone?
I was anxious and angry. This demon fox is so bold that he is so arrogant that he dares to come out and make trouble in broad daylight when no one is in his eyes. It's good now, the fox hasn't been found yet, but the person who accompanied me out and didn't "step on the point" is gone, how can I go back to the errand?
I was unwilling to open my throat and shout at the fat man, except for the echo of the birds in the forest and the mountains, how could there be a response from the fat man?
Stopping my fury and not bothering to wipe the cold sweat from my forehead, I tore away my steps, ignoring the entanglement of vines and thorns, and climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath. As far as the eye can see, the water is stacked around the mountains, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the green is boundless, there is not a village and a house, a dog and a person, and I don't know where to look for it!
Standing on the top of the mountain, there was a strong mountain breeze, and my soaked clothes were sticking to my body, and I shivered cold. It also calmed me down.
Such a blind search will definitely not work, and the chance of a blind cat encountering a dead mouse is extremely slim. This arrogant fox dares to break through my taboo again, and has no fear to attack the fat man, and must be cultivated to a very high self-esteem, and I am now bare-handed, I am afraid that even if I find it, it will be difficult to rescue the fat man. No, I have to go back. Go back to the county hospital and discuss it with the alcoholic maniac, and get ready to look for it again.
