Chapter 32: Brown Bears? Snowman?
Lisa screamed so silently, and several of us were terrified, not knowing what was going on.
Only to hear Lisa say, "Someone! Oh no, there are monsters! Have you seen it? ”
"Monsters? Where did the monster come from? The old ghost saw that Lisa was making a little fuss, so he asked rhetorically, "What did you see?" ”
"A very large thing! Judging from the height, it is definitely not an ordinary normal person. Lisa also said with trepidation: "I have a rough estimate, it is about two meters tall!" ”
"More than two meters tall? Could you be mistaken? Duoduo also asked Lisa questioningly, "How can a normal person be so tall?" ”
"Yes, Yao Ming! Haha......" The old ghost suddenly grabbed the topic and said, "Maybe Yao Ming has come here for a vacation too." ”
"Shi Hui!" Lisa said angrily, "I'm not kidding you! ”
Seeing that Lisa was really anxious, the old ghost had no choice but to shut up. I wanted to tell a joke to relieve Lisa's nervousness, but I didn't expect to do something bad with good intentions.
At this time, the big man said, "I guess Miss Wu is seeing something like a Himalayan brown bear, so it's better to be cautious!" ”
"Hello brown bear!" The old ghost couldn't control his mouth again, and said, "It would be good if I could catch a brown bear, the meat can be eaten, the fur can be used to keep out the cold, kill two birds with one stone!" ”
The big man shook his head and said, "It's not that simple! In the case of brown bears, it is trickier. The Himalayan brown bear is one of the subspecies of the brown bear with a large, round head and a pair of large furry ears. The body is muscular, with bulging shoulders and back, and great strength. In general, three or four adults are not its opponents. ”
"Holy! So brutal? The old ghost asked in surprise.
"Hmm. Due to their special environment, they mainly inhabit cold temperate coniferous forests. Mostly active during the day and walks slowly. But from this point of view, it is possible that Miss Wu saw not Himalayan brown bears, because they are not that fast! The big man nodded.
After he finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, and then changed his tone and said, "But in terms of circumstances. Again, it is highly likely! They do not have a fixed habitat and usually prefer to move alone. Brown bears are omnivores and eat mainly grasses, tree roots and other plant parts, as well as mammals such as insects, sheep and goats.
The most frightening thing is that brown bears are now more ferocious, perhaps due to a chronic lack of food. In recent years, there have been incidents of brown bears injuring people. Everyone should still keep their eyes open and be on guard against the movements around them at any time. ”
The old ghost didn't say a word, and immediately pulled up the bolt. He said, "Come on, even if it's a 5-meter-long brown bear, Lao Tzu can make 10,000 transparent holes in it!" Let it become a hornet's nest alive, and let it know that I am not easy to mess with! ”
At this time, the big man raised his index finger and made a silent gesture to us, signaling us to listen carefully.
"Rustle, rustle......" I heard a rustling sound from the woods.
Everyone was nervous. They all joined hands with "bang, bang" and the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun. For a moment, several muzzles of Qi Brush's guns were aimed at the place where the sound came from.
Suddenly. A little gray rabbit emerges from the woods!
Only then did everyone put down their guns, and it turned out to be a false alarm.
But at this moment, Lisa's hand shook and she pulled the trigger. "Da-da......" After a continuous burst of gunfire, the little gray rabbit collapsed in a pool of blood.
When Lisa stopped shooting, the little rabbit twitched a few times. Just didn't move. Lisa was extremely remorseful and wanted to go up and check, and said as she walked, "It's all my fault, I killed it when I missed......"
At this time, the old ghost suddenly rushed forward and lifted the rabbit. Say, "Haha, this time there is meat to eat!" This rabbit is quite fat, classmate Wu Lisha, good marksmanship! ”
Lisa was just about to step forward to stop the old ghost's actions, but before she could speak, she heard the big man behind her tear up his voice and shout, "Everyone, be careful! There's something! ”
Before we could take a closer look, we heard a "bang-bang" sound, and a "behemoth" was shuttling quickly through the woods. It was incredibly fast, and it was definitely not something that ordinary creatures could reach.
Because of its speed, we couldn't see what it was, only that it was black all over. And I felt that the thing was coming quickly, and it looked unstoppable. That speed and strength, if you let it crash into it, it is estimated that it will be crippled if you don't die!
At this moment, I don't know who fired first. "Da ......" a barrage of bullets fired.
Several of us were extremely nervous, and at this time, someone fired a gun, which undoubtedly detonated the fuse of the war. All at once, several guns pulled the trigger at the same time.
"Da ......" There was another rush of gunfire, and the sound of bullets filled the sky and the flames were everywhere.
Seeing that our fire was so fierce, the black thing had to change its direction and turn away into the depths of the forest. In the blink of an eye, the thing was gone......
Seeing that the crisis had been temporarily resolved, everyone put down their guns and gasped for breath rapidly.
The old ghost said, "What the hell is that?" It's so dark, it's so big, and it's so fast! ”
The big man said, "It could be a Himalayan snowman!" ”
"Himalayan snowman?" The old ghost asked curiously, "Is there such a thing?" I thought it was just a legend! ”
"Well, looking at the volume, speed and power, I guess it's mostly yes. It seems that our trip is not so peaceful! So, everyone should be vigilant! The big man said.
"What if it's a Himalayan snowman?" The old ghost asked, "What is his origin?" What should we do about it? ”
The big man said, "The Himalayan snowman is a human-like animal that is rumored to be found in the snow of the Himalayas. The legend about the Yeti dates back to 326 BC.
One year, the famous Italian mountaineer Reinhold, who conquered all 14 peaks in the world at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters. In an interview with the British media, Messner said that he claimed that he had unraveled the mystery of the "snowman".
In 1986, he said, he came to the Himalayas alone. It was dusk, and Messna was climbing a steep hillside overgrown with dense trees. Suddenly, he heard a "rustling" sound in front of him, and he looked up suddenly, and he broke out in a cold sweat: a big, dark guy was not far ahead! The guy seemed to spot him at the same time, turned around and ran into the jungle.
Misna certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity, the black guy sometimes stood upright like a man, but he ran faster than anyone else, and neither the branches nor the ravines could slow it down. Seeing Messner chasing him, he ran into the depths of the jungle without stopping.
Messner followed it, chasing after it with all his might. It was precisely because of such a close distance to it that I saw that it was 7 feet tall and unusually strong. However, its strong physique did not affect its walking speed in the slightest.
By the light of the moon, Messner discovered that it had thick hair, short legs, and long arms that looked powerful.
For some reason, the guy suddenly hissed in anger, and Messner even saw its eyes and teeth. The eyes are small, but bright; The teeth are very white, which contrasts strongly with the black skin.
The thing grinned at Messner for a few seconds, and perhaps seeing that Messner didn't back down, the 'black monster' turned and ran into the bushes.
At this time, Messner suddenly thought: "Snowman! This must be the snowman that people often refer to! ”
Over the next 12 years, Messna abandoned plans to climb other regions and devoted most of his time and energy to the Himalayas and surrounding areas with one goal in mind – to find the "Yeti".
Now, Messner has decided to write a book that will put an end to the time-consuming, laborious, and expensive search for the Yeti and their plans. The conclusion of the book is shocking, and it can be summed up in only one sentence: the snowman does not exist at all!
According to Messner himself, the so-called snowman is nothing more than a brown bear in the Himalayas!
Messner is not the first to point out that 'the Yeti is a Himalayan brown bear'.
As early as 1939, a man named Ernst arrived in Tibet with a secret mission team at the behest of the German Empire. The purpose of this trip was only one - to incite Tibet to armed itself against the British.
During this period, Ernst also came to the same conclusion as Messner.
Before his death in 1992, Ernst wrote to Messner about a qiē he saw. He said that the locals mysteriously told him that there was a 'snowman' on the mountain. It lived in a cave, and Ernst didn't think so, and found the 'snowman' with a gun and killed it, which turned out to be just a giant Tibetan bear.
But later, the answer to this matter was questioned by many people. Shortly after the incident had passed, Ernst's answer was confirmed that it was only an illusion, or rather, a coincidence.
According to the investigation of many scientists and explorers, almost all of them have found ironclad evidence related to Himalayan snowmen!
Like, what's the deal with those big footprints in the snow? This is left behind by a large two-legged animal. Could it be that brown bears also walk on two legs like humans? Can a big brown bear be so fast? If it was really a brown bear, why hadn't anyone caught it until now?
And, according to many who have experienced it, it is a quick thinker and quick to move. Compared to us humans, it is definitely better!
According to my guide and Master, there are definitely snowmen in the Himalayas. It's just that over the years, they have acted cautiously and elusively, so naturally few people have discovered it. They generally don't attack people and animals unless you invade their territory! (To be continued......)
