Chapter 39 Surveying the terrain with a telescope
"It seems that it's already the beginning of the year, so let's find a safe place to spend the night." Feng Yongsheng walked beside Xu Jingluo, always vigilant.
"Yes, stop whenever there's a good place to spend the night." Xu Jingluo nodded and said, "If there is a cave, look for a cave, if there is no cave to find a big stone, if you can't even find a big stone, it is safest to climb a tree." ”
"Well, that's it." Feng Yongsheng nodded.
As he spoke, he walked forward for another half an hour, and as the sky gradually darkened, he never found a cave or a large rock.
Just when everyone was ready to spend the night in the trees, suddenly an abandoned inn appeared in front of them, with a broken wall, and half of the plaque faintly visible the words 'Yuelai Inn'.
It seems that after the big insects infested the mountain, the inn couldn't operate and went out of business.
The moment the big guys saw the inn, they all shed tears of excitement.
"Thank God, God forbid, this is so urgent!"
It was not so much fun to hang on a tree for a night, so the group hurried into the inn.
The lobby of the inn was covered in dust and beads, and was largely intact except for the broken main door and a few windows.
When I went up to the second floor, I saw that the rooms were all intact.
"It's getting dark, hurry up and move a few beds down and block all the doors and windows!" Feng Yongsheng commanded loudly, "All the women and children go upstairs, don't stay downstairs." ”
So, everyone hid upstairs and hid in a safe room.
The men moved and moved, and blocked the broken doors and windows.
After doing this, the sky completely darkened, and just in case, ten more men were sent to guard the staircase on the second floor.
In this tiger-infested forest, who knows if there will be other beasts at night?
More than 20 households, more than 100 people, crowded the rooms on the second floor.
Xu Jingluo's family and Qian Yulan's family were crammed into a room, with oilcloth spread on the floor, letting children sleep with the elderly, and young people sitting against the wall.
I'm scared today, but who can sleep except for the young children? All of them are scared.
Don't let anything happen to you, it's going to be too hard to deal with any more beasts or something!
......
It was completely dark, the rustle of leaves in the wind outside the window, and the occasional chirping of owls, such a night was no different from that of ordinary countrymen.
It was as if the tiger had taken over the entire mountain forest, and the other beasts had already retreated, and they were safe within a radius of a hundred miles.
Gradually, everyone's expressions relaxed, not as scared as before, and the older ones all looked for a place to lie down and rest.
Xu Jingluo sat against the wall, with Runtian and Yi Bao lying next to him, covered with a thin blanket, and slept quite peacefully.
"Miss Xu, take it." Qian Yulan stuffed a handful of soybeans into Xu Jingluo's hand, "Fried, fragrant." ”
As he spoke, he moved his chubby body, carried a small cloth bag, and handed out a handful of fried soybeans to everyone.
Her private collection is quite rich, and she also distributed naan to the old man and children just now.
Everyone didn't eat dinner, and they chewed the soybeans fragrantly.
Then they talked together for a while, and dozed off against the stairs.
Inside the house, Xu Jingluo also found a vacant place next to Runtian and Yi Bao and lay down.
I was sleeping in a daze, when I suddenly heard a strange sound in the darkness.
"Click..."
It seemed that some rodent was gnawing on something, Xu Jingluo was startled, sat up hurriedly, and then stopped again.
After sitting for a long time and never hearing it again, Xu Jingluo yawned and lay down again.
"Click~~Click~~"
After a while, I heard the sound again, like a mouse biting wood.
Drowsiness hit, and Xu Jingluo didn't want to care about it.
Abandoned old buildings, not to mention a mouse, a group of people are normal.
No, she remembered reading a news that the rat gnawed the child's fingers, and the building was abandoned for so long, maybe the rat didn't eat, and he could really do this kind of thing.
At this thought, she suddenly woke up, and she had to chase the dead mouse away.
I didn't get up for fear of alarming it, but first judged where it was clicking and gnawing.
After listening to it for a while, it seemed to come from the window, anyway, everyone in the house was asleep, and the electric baton had a lighting function, so Xu Jingluo quietly took out the electric baton and followed the sound to shine it.
The light shone through the torn window paper, shining out a pair of cold eyes outside the window, glowing green, staring at her for a moment.
These eyes that suddenly popped out made Xu Jingluo startled, and the whole person shrank suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.
I'll go, it's not a mouse, the eyes of a mouse can't be so big!
But what is it if it's not a mouse? It's the second floor, what the hell can climb so high?
Boa?
No, the snake's eyes are round, these eyes are inverted triangle, very vicious, and have the same deterrent power as a tiger.
But did the tiger climb so high? Is it a good idea?
Xu Jingluo looked at those eyes with doubts, then got up and slowly leaned towards the window.
And the other party seemed to be stunned by this strong light, and he didn't move.
As the distance narrowed, a chill hit the soles of Xu Jingluo's feet, and she saw the spot between the forehead of the thing, nine times out of ten it was a leopard.
The leopard was cunning enough, gnawing at the window little by little, trying to break in silently.
If she hadn't been cautious, she would have given it a little more time to bite off the window edge and rush in to hunt for it, which was terrible!
After recognizing its true face, Xu Jingluo immediately made a decision to electrocute this ghost thing.
said that it was too late, and while the leopard outside the window was in a daze, Xu Jingluo rushed to the window with an arrow, and the electric baton poked out directly from the window pane.
Zla~~
The electric light flowed, hitting the guy's eyeball, and his right eye was scorched at once.
Whew~~
The leopard let out a wail and fell from the second floor, slamming its horn to the ground.
The loud falling sound and howl almost woke everyone up, Xu Jingluo hurriedly extinguished the flashlight, rushed over and hugged the frightened Runtian and Yi Bao, no one knew what she was doing just now.
Outside, panicked footsteps and conversations rang out.
"Not good, there are beasts!"
"What beast? Where is it? ”
"Outside the inn, it sounds like a leopard."
"Quick, put up a torch."
Soon, everyone broke the table legs, tied a few torches, and lit them down to the first floor.
When I peeked out of the window, I found a blind leopard, standing out of the window with one leg lame, staggering and easy to deal with.
Feng Yongsheng didn't say a word to see the opportunity, but held the baseball bat and stabbed it fiercely in the leopard's left eye.
The leopard's left eye was also stabbed, and suddenly its eyes turned black, and it pounced in pain, and directly smashed through the window and rushed in.
