Chapter 3 There are people in the mountains

Canaan and the other men were discussing something in a relatively distant place, and the handsome man was riding on his father's neck, looking at the father and son, I did not rush over, but leisurely snuggled on the battlements of the city wall and looked out at the surrounding mountains from the gap.

It's a natural barrier! Surrounded by mountains, coupled with the dense vegetation on the mountain, this small valley is so firmly enclosed in it, people outside can not find this secret paradise without turning over the mountain, this castle is really a real paradise!

I was looking around aimlessly, when suddenly I noticed a light on the side of the hill closest to the castle that dazzled my eyes! It made me reflexively squint my eyes!

When I opened it again, the blinding light was gone, no! In the wild mountains and dense forests, how can there be things that can reflect light such as mirrors? Unless, somebody is looking at me with a telescope and it happens to reflect the sun's rays!

The laziness just now is gone! We are not the only refugees in this mountain! And people!

The incomparable sense of security vanished in an instant, and I ran to them in a few steps and told them what I had just seen and thought.

Canaan handed Shuai Shuai to me and hugged him, took out a small pocket telescope from his bosom, and carefully observed it in the direction I was pointing.

The others didn't bring binoculars, but they just looked at the mountainside with their naked eyes, covered by dense forests, so they couldn't see anything in this way!

Suddenly, Canaan whispered, "Damn! Sure enough, there was someone! He also looks at us with a telescope! Oh no, he found out I was watching him, he's going to run! ”

Having said that, the distance between that man and us is so far away that it would take us twenty minutes to go out of the castle and rush to the man's location, and they would have run away long ago!

Therefore, no one chased after him, and that man sneakily came to spy on us, and it is difficult to say whether he is friend or foe, and it is not necessarily a vicious person, maybe he is afraid that we will hurt him.

Canaan had been tracking the man's whereabouts with a telescope, but the dense woods in the mountains, coupled with the fact that the man deliberately avoided the gaps in the leaves, Canaan couldn't find the man's shadow in two minutes.

The second brother calmly said to us: "Sister Duo, Brother Canaan, if there are other people here, we can't rest assured if we don't investigate clearly!" Most of the men have to be transferred back to the farm to participate in the spring ploughing, this castle is full of old people, women and children, in case that person brings someone to sneak attack, the castle will not be lost, it will not matter, and it will definitely not matter if we hurt our people! Just let me and Sunshine go and turn out that person's nest, whether it is friend or foe, and we will rest assured if we find out! ”

The second brother's proposal was exactly what Canaan and I were planning, and as soon as he proposed it, Canaan immediately said, "Yes! Taking advantage of the fact that there are a large number of men who send them into the mountain this time, we must figure this matter out and solve it, otherwise how dare we go out of the valley and leave them in the valley by themselves? ”

I also nodded: "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, it's not uncommon for other survivors to have in the mountains, although in the past, this local tyrant dominated the valley and did not allow ordinary mountain people to approach, but obviously this local tyrant does not often come here for vacation or refuge, especially after the end of the world, the surrounding mountain people can't survive in the village, and it is not impossible to risk the legend to go into the mountains to hide from zombies!"

Let's go over and find them and ask them clearly, if they are really ordinary villagers, some old and some young, it is okay to be incorporated in. Even if there are many people, it's fine, the castle can't live, and there is a farm, and there is no problem with another hundred and eighty people. ”

Sunshine smiled beside him: "Sister Duo always thinks better, why do I think that person is not a good person?" Even if they are a small team of survivors, we have to observe whether it is good or not, but don't bring back those scum who do not hesitate to harm others in order to survive, it will be easy to blow up inside. ”

Sunshine is actually out of caution, but I immediately remembered Mr. Wang, and suddenly his face was slightly hot, but I knew that Sunshine was definitely not aimed at me, his personality was quite innocent, before he became a special soldier, he was just a simple country child, just like his name, and the sunshine was the same as his appearance.

But his words did wake me up, all along, I have always maintained the habit of seeing people first to see the bright side, and I am not willing to think badly about others, this is my innocent side, in fact, it is the shortcoming of my character, in this last days, I must learn to be calm, of course, not cold.

Let's go! I don't know how many people there are on the other side, and we can't go too few people, except for me and Canaan, the second brother, Sunshine, and also called Qin Haoyun, the ghost, the six of us plan to focus on reconnaissance, if we break into the other party's nest and find that the gap between the number of enemies and friends is too large, we will quietly return, and there will be more people to go.

We gave this to the, the gray rabbit, and the yellow wolf, and they took the other men to guard the place to prevent the group from coming around from other directions to make a surprise attack when we went out.

With our sidearms in hand, the six of us headed for the mountains.

This mountain is the closest to the castle, and in less than ten minutes we are at the foot of the mountain, there is no road on the mountain, there are high and low bushes and wild grasses everywhere, and I don't know if there are snakes and insects in the grass, now it is not as good as winter, in April and May all kinds of creatures are revived with the season, and it is not possible to be careless.

Fortunately, we were all wearing hiking boots, and we put the cuffs of our pants into our socks, and then put on our boots, so that the insects could not get into the pants, and even if we stepped on the snake, it would not be able to bite through our thick cowhide boots, and we checked each other, and no problem, and the group went into the dense forest on the mountain.

I found out when I entered the forest, the outside looked dense, in fact, it was not dark to walk in it, the place here is on the edge of the small Xing'an Mountains, the mountain is dominated by conifers, the tree species are rich, as far as I know, there are more than 20 kinds of trees such as birch, aspen, ash, red pine, spruce, elm, etc., these trees are tall and straight, if you are under the tree, it is difficult to observe the castle with a telescope, and the person must have climbed a tree just now!

We walked and stopped in the direction of the man just now, and the second brother walked at the forefront, carrying a bow and arrows on his back, holding a short spear in his hand, and walking cautiously forward while smashing into the grass, in order to scare away the snakes, insects, rats and mosquitoes in the grass first, so as not to step on them and be counterattacked.

Sunshine followed, and his favorite thing to use was a very large fighting knife, crooked, and he told me that the knife was called the Gurkha saber, and the connoisseurs of using knives liked to call it "Dog's Leg", what a strange name!

After the second brother scared away the small animals, Sunshine used this dog-legged knife to chop the forks of the tree to clear the obstacles, so that the people behind us could walk more smoothly, and some tall bushes and low-hanging branches were easy to scrape on the face.

About 20 minutes later, we arrived at the approximate position of the person just now, turned around separately, and found that a thick old tree is very suitable for people to climb, and the other trees are too straight, to say that climbing is not impossible, but it is very difficult, and the forks of this old tree are many and thick, climb up and ride on the top to observe the valley, it is really too suitable!

After a few sunshines, he climbed up, glanced in the direction of the valley, and told us with certainty: "That person must have been peeping on us here!" From this view, the situation inside the castle is really clear, there are not too many branches to obscure the view! ”

He examined the old tree for a while, and found a few fibers of fabric, apparently scraped off by the man who had climbed the tree just now.

Once the man was sure to have escaped from here, the next step was to find the direction in which he had escaped.

I was a novice in the jungle, with no experience at all, and I could only watch a few men bend around and look around at the weeds, which didn't help much.

The weeds around are too messy, a few people turned around for a long time, and still can't be sure of the direction that person left, it seems that that person comes often, and is very smart, he trampled on the surrounding grass in a mess, so that we can't tell at all!

I looked at them idlely, and suddenly I jumped up and said, "Little Ra! Little Ra will smell it! How about letting Lara try it? ”

The second brother looked up and said in amazement: "Yes, why didn't we think about bringing Xiaola with us in the jungle tracking?" It's true! With that, he slapped himself on the head.

Sunshine immediately said, "You wait, I'll go back and pick up Xiaola." ”

He was agile, and without waiting for us to say anything, he ran down the path we had stepped on when we came.

This time he went back, less than half an hour, but fortunately, the mountain road here has been stepped out, and it will not be as difficult for him to go back as he was just now.

There was nothing to do for our group, so we sat around the big tree and waited for Xiaola to arrive.

I pinched my watch, and it had only been 28 minutes before there was a sound on the trail, and the first thing that caught my eye was the cheerful Xiaola! I saw it sticking out its big tongue and rushing out of the grass excitedly!

Behind Xiaola turned out to be Sumiko, and then the sunshine.

The two of them are tired and out of breath, and they must be able to keep up with an energetic Labrado dog, which can make people tired and vomit old blood!

Sunshine panted, pointed at Chengzi and said, "Xiaola is not familiar with me, Chengzi is afraid that it will not listen to the instructions, so he followed." ”

Sumiko also bent over and panted wildly, only Xiaola still tirelessly circled us, and she was so happy to see it.

After a while, Chengzi and Sunshine finally eased up, Chengzi looked at Xiaola helplessly and said: "If I don't come, it has to sing all the way, Sunshine can't shout, you are going to track, it has to call up and report to others first!" ”

No wonder when Xiaola rushed out just now, although she was so excited that she was like being beaten with chicken blood, she didn't bark at all, it turned out that she had received Chengzi's order!

It's really a good dog, I hugged Xiaola and kissed it violently, and it immediately licked my saliva happily.

Sunshine told Sumiko the reason for borrowing Xiaola, without further ado, since the two of them rested, let's act quickly.

Chengzi patted the old tree and said to Xiaola, "Come and smell it, and then look for it." ”

Xiaola obediently sniffed in the past, turned her head and ran to the sun, our collective black line! Sunshine did climb the old tree just now, and Xiaola is familiar with the smell of sunlight, and of course she found him as soon as she smelled it!

Looking at Xiaola jumping around the sun, Cheng Zi angrily held his forehead! He patted the tree again and ordered again, "It's not him!" It's someone else! What you haven't seen, smell again! ”

Xiaola is very clever, and after getting along with Chengzi for a long time, Chengzi can almost listen to it, and when it sees that it has done something wrong, it shyly returns to the big tree and sniffs carefully again.

This time, it roared a few times in one direction, and Sumiko nodded at us, and then gave the order: "Chase!" ”

Xiaola shot out like an arrow, we are crying bitterly, little ancestor, you should slow down!
