Chapter Twenty-Four: A Lost Rainy Night
"Don't talk about that, what did you two do when you left me?"
"In the afternoon, right here, you fell asleep, and I saw something like a tiger in the forest opposite, and it was just over twenty meters away, and it was shot over."
"Hit?"
"I guess I hit it." The fat man gestured to his ass and said, "It should hit here, I saw it jump and disappeared, and then I chased it with Wen Bin, there was blood on the ground, and we chased after the blood." We don't blame us for that, the gun was placed on top of your head, and you didn't wake up at all. Besides, we thought we would go back, but we didn't know that we wouldn't be able to get out of the woods if we didn't get into it, if it weren't for this Cha Ye's magical powers, maybe he would still be spinning in it now. ”
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Cha Wenbin said to me: "We should have been hit by the ghost hitting the wall, how to walk for a while and then to the same place, has not been able to get out, can only wait until dark to walk according to the star position to try it, after coming out to know that we have gone off the road into four or five miles, fortunately you are fine." ”
"Ghost hitting the wall? Is there such a thing? "I heard my grandfather say about the ghost hitting the wall, the most famous is that Zhuge Liang trapped Lu Xun's hundreds of thousands of troops with a few piles of stones during the Three Kingdoms, I always thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true.
"I don't know, it may also be that the terrain and references in the forest are similar, and it is easy to get lost." I saw that when Cha Wenbin said this, he glanced into the forest again, and the expression on his face was slightly serious.
"Okay, it's okay, what are we going to do at night?" The fat man pointed to the tree next to him and said, "Sleep on it like him?" ”
Cha Wenbin suddenly burst out and interrupted the fat man's words: "You said that the one we beat in the afternoon would be the fox just now?" ”
"No, although it's in the woods, I think it should be a tiger, otherwise you won't be able to make such a big move, besides, are you so sure it's a fox just now?"
"Look at the ground first." Cha Wenbin circled the ground with a torch, and under our feet was a large piece of smooth stone, a few drops of brown dots were a little abrupt.
"Blood?" The fat man asked.
Cha Wenbin squatted down and put a little bit of it under his nose with his fingernails, sniffed it, and said, "It's blood, it hasn't coagulated yet, it just fell off." ”
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, the three of us glanced at each other, everyone had good arms and legs, and not even a single skin was broken, where would there be blood.
I asked, "So, it's really possible that this blood is from that thing just now, and you can see that it's a fox?" ”
Cha Wenbin shook his head and said, "I didn't see it clearly, but it really looks like a fox, with a very sharp mouth and long teeth." ”
The fat man patted the earthen gun in his hand to make the fire and nitrate stronger, and said coldly: "Is the fox skin worth it?" ”
I said, "Someone should want it, but it's certainly not worth as much as a tiger." ”
"Damn, you've come to us for revenge, how big would this really be a fox?"
Cha Wenbin said: "It's big. ”
The fat man looked at me and threw out another question: "Which is worth a big fox skin or a tiger skin?" ”
At that time, my mind was still in the stage of stupidity, so I replied: "How do I know, the bigger the skin, the more valuable it must be!" ”
The fat man spat at the blood stain on the ground and said, "Okay, since it's valuable, let's it by the way!" I must have been shot in the afternoon, and I guess I would bleed when I jumped so much just now that the wound was cracked again. Wounded twice a day, looking for it along the blood, it can't run far. ”
Cha Wenbin glanced up at the sky, and there were already a few clouds floating in the distance, he frowned and reminded: "It seems that it is going to rain on this day, is it slow." ”
The fat man patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, you can't run far, this time you will catch it." ”
Cha Wenbin looked at me, because I had been abandoned once in the afternoon, and this time I had to follow anyway: "Go and go, come anyway, if you withdraw at this time, it will be in vain." ”
In the end, we decided to look for it, and three people, three torches, followed the bloodstains on the ground into the woods. In fact, we have all made a regular mistake, there are too many weeds in this forest, and those blood stains may still be visible during the day, but what can be seen by torches at night?
After all, he is still too young, no one will admit that this is a wrong choice, the three of them are wandering around the forest with their heads bored, Cha Wenbin looks up for us from time to time to look at the direction, I really admire his ability. If I look up, the stars in the sky are all the same, and I can't tell who is who.
If you want to say that this man is going to have bad luck, it will come quickly, and about half an hour after entering the forest, a dark cloud will come, and we are in the forest
I couldn't feel the wind at all when I was blocked by the trees, but the rain clouds came too fast. By the time Cha Wenbin noticed that the sky was dark, I could already hear the sound of "ticking and ticking" from the top of the tree.
The rain was heavy, and our torches were coated with a thick layer of pine resin, and in this way, two were extinguished, leaving only the fire in Cha Wenbin's hand that would be extinguished at any time.
Found a recess of the rock wall, the three of us huddled together, the wet clothes were very cold on the body, it was already the northeast in the late autumn season, the rain could turn into heavy snow anytime and anywhere, and the gradually stiffened skin made us keep moving closer to the torch in the middle.
Indeed, as the fat man said, when we went out, we brought single clothes, and in that era, everyone was short of supplies, and Savage Tun was a remote pimple, and the stomach could ensure that it was not hungry, but there was no hope for the rest.
I felt my lips already trembling up and down: "We're not going to freeze to death, are we?" ”
The fat man was still a little more resistant in the end, and he smiled at me: "When the rain is light, I'll go get some firewood." ”
The wait was an hour, and there was no sign of raindrops, and the firewood that the fat man wanted was even more unobtainable, and it was wet everywhere. The thick layer of pine branches under your feet can give up half a shoe of water when you step on it, and there is something else to point in this case. What makes us even more troubled is that the torch in Cha Wenbin's hand is now only a carbon head, still bubbling with soybean-sized flames.
The fat man is still more righteous, Cha Wenbin and I were still young at that time, and I was barely able to warm up a little by holding him left and right, that was the first time I realized the sentence of relying on friends when I went out.
I was already asleep in a daze when I remembered the first strange scream, and when the fat man pushed me out of his arms, I heard a second sound, and it was very much like an old lady with a sharp throat standing at the entrance of the village and pinching her neck, and screaming that Titus was infiltrating people on that rainy night.
The fat man didn't know if he was bold, he stood up and yelled at the forest in front of him: "What the hell is the master to stand up and take a look!" ”
After a while, we clearly heard the voice of someone talking from the other side, not very clear, but the voice was very thick, and what we could vaguely distinguish was the word "Ye".
The fat man scolded: "your grandmother's legs, who is pretending to be a ghost on the other side, we are the educated youth of Savage Tun, who are you?" ”
As soon as the fat man's voice fell, the voice over there sounded, this time it was that rough voice, but we all heard it very clearly, just two words: "Educated youth!" ”
At this time, Cha Wenbin also stood up, in my impression, Father Miao said that there is a village within a radius of 100 miles, and there are only four of us educated youths in this village, because this place is too remote, this year for the first time the above assigned us such a "problem" teenager arrived here, I have never heard of other educated youth.
Cha Wenbin stabbed the fat man's arm and gave him a look, and the fat man shouted at Lin Zi knowingly: "Then come here!" ”
I don't want the voice on the other side to shout at us, "Then come here!" ”
"Hey, he's fucking with us!" The fat man said to me and Cha Wenbin: "You two are waiting here, I'll go over and see who it is." ”
The fat man was about to leave, but Cha Wenbin grabbed him and whispered, "Don't go, there's a problem." ”
"It's okay, I'm afraid of a bird, didn't he tell me to come over, then I'll bring him over for you to see, dare to play with us, it's just lighting a light in the toilet, looking for!"
When the fat man left, he was holding the earthen pole, and the sound was not far from us, only about ten meters, but the sky was too dark, and it was raining, and there was no light. I could hear the sound of the fat man's footsteps splashing on the ground, and after about half a minute, I couldn't hear the fat man's footsteps, and after another five minutes, there was silence around me and Cha Wenbin.
I was a little scared, so I could only pretend to be okay and muttered to Cha Wenbin: "What's the matter with this person, I'll go back when I say yes." ”
Cha Wenbin and I leaned together, and I heard him gently put a word on my ear: "Xiaoyi, don't talk, something may have happened to the fat man." ”
I was shocked and shouted to him, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find a way!" ”
Cha Wenbin immediately covered my mouth with his hand and said, "Shhh, don't make a sound......"
As soon as he finished speaking, I heard someone in the forest opposite, still in the same position, say, "Then come here!" ”
I stood up all at once, it was the voice of a fat man!
