When we returned to the gate of the cave, we saw that it was still early overhead, and the dogs and wolves who had gone hunting had not yet returned, so everyone was ready to go into the cave and set up a pot to prepare for dinner.

Suddenly, a black thing burst out of the hole like lightning, and before everyone could see what was going on, they saw a group of dogs chasing them out of the hole.

Out of the hole, everyone saw clearly that the one who came out earlier was a black argali sheep.

On the platform outside the hole, all the dogs and the little wolf surrounded the argali, and the two dogs ran slowly towards the argali, one attacking the head and the other attacking the tail, so that the argali, with two sharp horns, had nowhere to resist, and the head and tail could not be cared for, and the ass of the argali, after a round, the argali's butt had been bitten.

Looking at this situation, it is estimated that the argali, which was driven here by dogs and wolves, and the reason why they had to stay alive instead of biting them to death was that the argali, which was too big to drag in the mountains and forests, and it was difficult to bring them back - these little guys are too smart.

The argali, which could not run away, let the dog and the little wolf go and get it slowly, and everyone put the things they brought back into the hole, burned the fire, and began to cook dinner. In a short time the distant mountains and trees had gradually disappeared into the evening mist, and by this time the struggle outside the cave had ended, and the argali, lying motionless on the ground.

The father and the eldest son pulled the argali, pulled it to a stone groove, and pulled it on the neck with a killing knife, and a stream of blood gushed out, shooting straight into the groove, filling it full.

The father told the dog and the wolf cub to drink blood first, which was a good thing to replenish their strength, and then he used an axe to cut the lamb and make it into small pieces for them to eat.

The little ones ate quickly, and they knew that it would soon be dark, and when they were full, half of the argali were left for tomorrow for breakfast. At this time, the cave was already full of aroma, and the second son put the fish on a wooden stick. Put the snail meat, loach and water chestnut in the pot and boil, and when it is almost cooked, put the water celery, and a pot of fragrant and delicious good things is made.

The eldest son spread a thick layer of leaves around the fire in the cave. A layer of wooden sticks was placed on both sides of the leaves, which was a place for dogs and wolves to sleep, and the hole was too damp to sleep on it.

Taking advantage of the last glimmer of light before dark, everyone blocked the entrance to the cave with a stone. Temporarily isolate yourself from the outside world, and leave your safety and well-being to this black, cold, damp cave.

They didn't eat the fruit they had brought in the morning tonight, and they didn't find anything to eat here, so it was better to save it for tomorrow, but the soup and fish were enough for them.

After eating, the man sharpened a few wooden spears with a killing knife in case of emergency.

After taking turns to eat this wonderful dinner, half the night passed.

At this time, everyone has time to talk about the adventures along the way.

The father did not say much about the doubts in his heart, because it was useless to say more, and it was impossible to find answers, which would only add to the troubles or make the children worry. Just tell the children what this platform was used for.

Everyone is also gossiping, some say that it is a two-story courtyard, some say that it is a garrison guard, the second son said that it may be a place to retreat from the mountains to build a place, maybe the route they took back then was the same as the route they took this way, so they left the remains of this road, and said that it may be a place where they have continuously retreated for thousands of years, and found that one place is not working, and then go forward to live in another place, saying that there is a nose and an eye. Seems to make sense.

But the question of the eldest son arises again, where did they end up? Is there anyone who has survived now, has they lived in another place or just before this road?

When he said this, his father was shocked. I didn't want to go on along this topic, just talk a few words and get ready for bed, but I didn't know that this was the case.

Thinking of the wild men who appeared twice along the way, and the wild men who were not the slightest hostile to them, my father had an answer in his heart, but he could think about it carefully. The answer seemed to run far away, and became blurred.

Hey, I don't want to, let's sleep. Father thought so and yawned.

The children saw that their father was tired, so they hurriedly asked their father to sleep first, and the two of them stood on the first shift first. Seeing their father fall asleep, the children did not dare to continue the topic, and they also faintly felt their father's worries, so they talked about the children in the family without a match, comparing which little one was smarter, which one was smarter, which one was cute, which one was good-looking, and so on.

The firewood in the firewood pile crackled and peeled, adding a touch of uneasiness to the quiet night, as if something was destined to happen.

The children would rather have the night be quiet, but the sound of the firewood burning was so loud in the silence of the night that it was even a little frightening.

The eldest son carefully inspected the stone at the entrance of the cave, and pinched it vigorously with his hands, feeling that the stone was very hard, not like it had been weathered, and it should have no problem resisting the attack of ordinary animals.

The second son readjusted the position of the dog and the little wolf, left some by the fire and behind them, and responded in time if there was any problem, and looked at the red-hot steel drill in the fire and the wooden spear in his hand, and felt a little more steady.

From the three reserved holes, they felt that the night outside the caves was surprisingly quiet, there was no sound of wind blowing, no footsteps of small animals running past to feed, and no noise of noisy summer insects.

With the adventures they had since entering the mountain, they could also feel that in the heavy night sky, there must be a pair of bright eyes, staring at this cave, staring at these people and the little ones in the cave.

They hope that that thing will appear as soon as possible, not so tormenting, and not to play with those mysteries, just come and come hard.

The deathly silence, the two brothers' nerves were tense, breaking their previous calm mentality, the eldest son felt that something was wrong with him, and quickly stabilized his mind, and also told the second son not to be too nervous, he had never seen any difficulties in entering the mountain for so long, and if there was danger this time, it would be fine.

After the eldest son said this, the second son also immediately felt the problem, smiled lightly at the eldest brother, and said self-deprecatingly that he was still too young to stand things. The eldest son laughed and scolded, how old are you, you speak old-fashioned, and you look like an adult.

The second son stuck out his tongue embarrassedly and made a bitter gourd face. As soon as I relaxed, it seemed that the wind was rustling through the leaves outside the cave, and I could hear the insects chirping, which was really strange.

No animal came to the stone door that night, and nothing made any strange noise, except for the fact that there seemed to be some animal fighting on the platform outside, accompanied by a few wails of injuries, but after a few clicks there was no more sound, and everything was quiet again.

In the middle of the night, the children were a little drowsy, the eldest son took out a handful of Malangzi from his father's pocket and handed it to the second son, and he also grabbed a few to eat, and the two people saw this thing, and a stream of sour water immediately appeared between their teeth, and the person was much more sober, and when Malangzi entered the mouth, the sleepy mind was completely refreshed.

The two of them felt that it was almost dawn, so they woke up their father, and the two of them took turns to sleep for a while, and the day dawned.

The father said, "You can't do this in the future, let's take turns to rest, don't think that you can support yourself when you're young, in fact, young people are sleeping a lot."

Besides, if you are dozing and insist on standing guard, it is not safe, if there is any movement when you are dazed, how can you react immediately?!"

The father's voice was not heavy, but the meaning was very clear, the core was to say that it was not safe, the children had heard this before, but this time they really understood it, and they also listened to it in their hearts, and muttered that it would not be like this in the future.

The father looked at the child's apologetic expression, felt that he had spoken too much, and hurriedly said, "I know your intentions, you just want me to rest for a while." Actually, my body is good, anyway, people are old, and they don't sleep much. In the future, let's take turns to stand guard according to the rules of the hour. ”

Afterwards, they discussed whether to continue walking, or to stay here for another day, and the father felt that there was nothing to do if he stayed here, and everyone had good energy, and there was no obvious danger around, so he said that he should continue to walk and see what was in front of him.

The children all felt that their father's words made sense, but in fact, they also wanted to see what was going on in front of them and unravel the long-buried answer in their hearts.

After breakfast, I packed up my things, and it was just dawning.

At this time, the dreary night in the mountain forest was no longer audible, and only the fresh air of the forest remained.

Everyone came out of the hole, breathed heavily, stretched their arms and thighs, moved a little, and began to hit the road.

They saw that there was a road about a man wide down the hill under the second platform, and they decided to go from there.

When there is a road, they no longer care about the direction, anyway, just follow the road, and when they encounter a fork in the road, just make a mark.

All the way down, there are no longer large large trees, and sometimes there are large rocks, and occasionally some trees and grass grow in the cracks of the stones, revealing a large area of the sky.

There are several places where the rocky mountains are dozens of feet high, and they are all hard granite rocks. On the high stone mountain, sometimes you can see the honeycomb of the big woolly sugar bee in the basket, the honey is so much that it drips down, and pulls out a long silk in the morning sun, which makes the mouth water, and people can only sigh and drool when they see such a high place.

The dog and the wolf were also drooling when they saw it, and they knew it was a good thing.

And so they stopped—it was impossible to stop and look at them without stopping after passing through them—and by noon they saw that the sun was so bad that they knew it was time to find a place to spend the night, but by this time they were still in the middle of the road, and there was no place to build a shed.

What can I do? My father thought nervously, that winter was waiting for no one, and that he needed to make a decision quickly. (To be continued.) )
