Chapter Ninety-One: The Waves Rise Again
Early the next morning after the rest, I was invited by the fifth master again, and this meeting was only the fifth master and the playboy, and the three of us went on quietly, without informing the others.
Playboy reports: lost another horse.
When I listened to his inferences and conclusions, I almost didn't laugh out loud.
When the dude said that something was stealing from our herd, I immediately laughed and shook my head, and when he saw my contempt, he gave me a very disgruntled look.
I had to smile and say to him, "You mean, there is something transparent or invisible that steals our herd, and besides, this phenomenon of losing livestock will happen in the future." ”
The dude listened to me, nodded, then shook his head again, and explained to me, "Brother, I mean, there's something that we can't see, or something that's hard to catch, not that it's transparent or invisible. But one thing I know for sure is that this kind of lost livestock will continue to happen. ”
I immediately retorted in disapproval, and in the end our argument turned into a quarrel, and it was sternly off-topic.
The fifth master had to come forward to end the argument between the two of us, he said: "If this matter is man-made, it is not appropriate to investigate it deeply, maybe it won't happen again tomorrow." If it's not human, we'll just send more people on patrol. ”
The playboy muttered a little unwillingly, "The patrol is serious every night, but the camp is too big"
Fifth Master Zha interrupted the playboy's words and said to him with a smile: "I'm not blaming the patrol for being negligent, I know how hard you guys work. Get started today. I ordered everyone not to set up any more tents at night and to rest in the car. ”
After hearing this, the playboy hurriedly said, "How can it be done?" The team was already exhausted. You can't be deprived of sleep time anymore with a good rest. ”
After hearing this, Fifth Master Zha nodded with a smile and said, "That's good." I'm arranging for more people to patrol the night. ”
This secret meeting of the three ended hastily.
However, what we didn't expect was that the severity of this situation was beyond everyone's imagination.
For the next few days, we walked through the desert. Entering the bedrock field, where almost no vegetation grows, the expedition had to pick a place with a water source and grass. Although it may seem unsafe and time-consuming, it has to be chosen this way in order to ensure that the herd has enough food.
The playboy's seemingly neurotic sixth sense was suddenly fulfilled. The next few days of our journey. Every night there would be a loss of camels or horses, and everyone had to meet again to discuss this serious problem.
We were about to enter the westernmost part of the eastern part of the Kunlun Mountains, and by that time there would be no way for vehicles to travel through the mountain roads, but only camels and horses, carrying heavy equipment and materials.
So, if the herd continues to be lost again and again. We won't be able to reach our ultimate goal. In the second half of the mountain road, we can't rely on manpower. Carrying heavy equipment and supplies.
During the meeting, I thought that the playboy would take the opportunity to squeeze me a few words, after all, my sensitive nerves did not even perceive the severity of the matter, and ignored the doubts raised by the playboy, and even ridiculed his sixth sense.
As a result, the playboy turned out to be a little decadent, and said to everyone at a loss: "Since I found out that there are horses missing, I have strengthened the guards. However, the loss has continued to occur, and so far, it has not been discovered how the horses disappeared. The perpetrator of the theft was not found. ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and they knew the strictness of this matter, but they all had no idea.
I looked around at the people in the tent, and the expression of the fifth master was stern, and his brows were tightly knit and he didn't know what he was thinking; Kun Ba and a group of people all have an attitude of obeying orders, don't expect them to have any ideas; I sneaked another glance at the seventh master, and happened to see her and the playboy exchanging glances. My heart trembled immediately, and I thought: Could it be that there is a ** between the two of them, thinking of this, my heart suddenly clenched inexplicably, and my eyes were good to observe the dynamics between the seventh master and the playboy.
The meeting eventually led to the creation of traps to trap poachers.
At night, the camp was set up in a valley floor formed by a fracture and collapse of the bedrock.
It is a good place for the members of the Western Expedition to find a good place when it is convenient, and it is relatively warm at night, so they set up camp in this place.
Everyone set up camp and after a hurried dinner, they began to set traps.
We pitched the tents of the camp in the outermost circle close to the rock wall of the valley floor, then surrounded the vehicles in a circle, and finally drove the camels and horses into the inner circle of the vehicles, forming a huge enclosure.
Everyone was heavily armed with cats, hiding in the middle of the space adjacent to the vehicle and the tent. But when the family waited until almost night, they didn't find anything unusual.
Fifth Master Zha asked some people to go back to rest first, and said to me: "Xiaowen, you also go back to rest!" ”
I was worried about the fat man in my heart, and I thought that I had to replace the rain and let her take a rest, so I nodded to the fifth master and said "yes", and then stood up, walked through the vehicle and the tent, and came to the southwest corner of the valley floor, where the fat man's tent was resting, next to the high uplifted bedrock, which can effectively shelter from the wind and cold, and is a place specially arranged for the seriously ill fat man to rest.
I lifted the curtain of the tent and went into the tent, and when it rained and did not sleep, she saw me come in and asked me, "Why did you come back?" ”
I said to her: "Nothing happened, the fifth brother told me to come back to rest, I will come back to replace you, you hurry back and rest!" ”
Tianyu listened to me, did not stand up, she quietly watched me sit down, and then kept staring at me, I was a little embarrassed by her, touched her face with her hand and asked her, "Is there something on my face?" ”
Tianyu shook her head, looking like she wanted to say something, so I said to her: "You can say whatever you want, there are no outsiders here for the two of us, are you in trouble?" Is someone harassing you? Or is the fat man in bad condition? After I finished speaking, I hurriedly stood up and checked the fat man's condition. But seeing that he looked much better now than before, as if he was asleep, not a sick and unconscious person, he sat down with peace of mind and looked at Tianyu with inquiring eyes.
Tianyu still shook her head gently, still looking straight at me, I saw an indescribable love in her eyes, and I wanted to ask her again what was wrong?
As a result, at this moment, I heard a loud "bang".
In the silence of the night, the sudden noise was shocking, and I immediately jumped up from my chair, and Tianyu, who was sitting in front of the fat man's bed, also stood up and said to me, "Sniper rifle." ”
I nodded, this shot was the sound of the playboy's wife, the Heckler Koch sniper rifle, I had heard this shot countless times, and I was all too familiar with it, and I said: no, something happened.
I said to Tianyu: "You take care of the fat man" Before I could finish my next words, I was interrupted by a series of "click" gunshots.
Hearing a series of gunshots, I was immediately taken aback, this gunfire was too dense and violent, what was the situation that caused such a violent gunshot?
I didn't have time to tell the rain any more, so I hurriedly turned around and lifted the curtain of the tent and rushed outside.
The sound of gunfire outside the tent was resounding and resounding, and everywhere there were panicked and sensational figures.
I noticed that all the people were looking up at the sky with guns in hand. I immediately looked up at the sky and saw that the night sky was full of stars, and the moon was shy with only half of its face exposed, and found nothing else.
I was in a remote corner of the camp, in the innermost part of the valley of the bedrock, and the noise was heard from the center of the camp, where the herd was. Hurried through the tents and towards the place where the gunfire was intense, thinking to himself: the trap must have worked.
I was walking around the camp as my ears heard the gunfire waning and finally stopped. I thought to myself: I must have caught the horse thief, it seems that when I arrived, the matter had been solved perfectly, and my mood immediately relaxed, and I no longer felt nervous.
When I arrived in the middle of the camp, I saw a car surrounded by people around the herd, so I pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, and saw the roof of a sedan smashed into it, and a "ostrich" fell on it? How do you say yes? I don't know exactly what it is, but it's a bird's carcass, and it's very similar to an ostrich just by looking at its huge size.
The boy with the gun saw me coming, hurriedly pulled me to the front of the car, and said to me with a nervous expression: "Brother, come and see, what is this?" ”
I saw that Fifth Master Zha and others were also standing in front of the car, so I greeted them one by one.
At this time, someone had already started to lift down the body of the giant bird that had smashed on the roof of the car.
I asked the dude next to me, "You shot this bird?" ”
The dude shook his head and said to me, "We're here in an ambush until just now." Suddenly, I saw a flash of lightning, something like lightning struck the corral, and I pulled the trigger. Only then did everyone realize that there was a huge bird in mid-air, so they shot it one after another, and it was only with such a powerful fire attack that it was shot down from mid-air. ”
After listening to the playboy's story, I squatted down curiously and carefully examined the corpse of the giant bird lying on the ground.
I flipped the giant bird's corpse, and I was immediately taken aback, and I heard someone behind me exclaim.
Under the heavy corpse of the giant bird, there were three legs, and on top of the long drooping neck, there was a human-like face, a pair of eyes like a downward curved crescent, and the mouth was just the opposite, a crescent moon shape that curved upwards, with a pointed and long nose, like Pinocchio's nose in a fairy tale, when the nose is lied, it will become longer.
