Chapter 44: Roaring
Everyone was very satisfied, and after resting for more than ten minutes, they got up to clean up the things on the ground.
Tang Qibo dug a deep pit by the riverbed, buried the leftover bones and everything in it, scooped up a few scoops of river water, and poured it on the fire that had been extinguished, as well as the two pieces of burning hot ground.
Even if there is no open flame on the ground, the temperature is too high, and if there happens to be yellow fallen leaves, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not burn and cause a wildfire.
The awareness of fire prevention in every village is passed down in the blood from generation to generation, and many actions they don't know what they mean or what they mean, but they have watched the elders in the family do this since they were young, and they naturally do it, and it is naturally passed on to the next generation.
It's like when they go to visit the grave, and after worshipping, they will pour the wine on the place where the paper money is burned, and say something toasting in their mouths.
People who don't know will say superstition or something, but in fact, such a move is scientifically based, which can extinguish the open flame, and secondly, it can cool the hot ground, greatly reducing the possibility of fire.
These seemingly absurd experiences are all summed up by the lessons of the blood of our ancestors, and we can just listen to and learn to do it as future generations.
Eating is free time.
Uncle Qi looked at the high sun and counted the time, and said to the teachers and students of South China University: "Just look for what you want to find near the place, remember not to go too far, and don't go in when the grass grows. ”
The old professor gave a few more words of advice, and then set off first. The students cleaned up and scattered in twos and threes to collect samples.
In fact, the team from South China University has collected a lot of samples, and even brought a little soil and water, so it is not impossible to go back now.
But they have come here after a morning of hard work, how can they go back easily, and they are not here to camp, they still have a task.
Although everyone said that they acted separately, they were basically not too scattered. The distance between each other is not very far, and you can hear each other's voices when you raise the volume and shout, and it is also convenient to help others in time if something else happens, or get help from others.
Just as everyone was concentrating on collecting, suddenly there was an earth-shattering roar of fierce beasts from the distant mountains, and a burst of birds were startled in the deep mountains, and the dense birds flew out in array.
The sound seemed to come from a distance, and it was only faintly audible here, but the astonishing momentum still frightened everyone.
Everyone was stunned for a while, and the two timid students even screamed.
"Assemble! Gather! Gather! Tang Qibo's face changed, and he shouted loudly.
The old professor Fu Wenye also had a pale face, and urged repeatedly: "Assemble!" Assemble your classmates! ”
Luo Xuanwen hurriedly rushed to the teacher to support him, and comforted the student in a loud voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, come to the teacher!" ”
After the classmates gathered together, Tang Qibo took his things to his body, held an old shotgun, and led his classmates to rush back.
Tian Jiajia hugged the senior sister's arm in fear, "Teacher, what kind of voice is this, it's terrifying." ”
The little curly leg also trembled a little: "It can't be the Tiger King." ”
The associate professor hugged the old professor, and the old professor pushed his glasses: "It doesn't sound like it, but I can't say for sure." ”
The senior brother comforted everyone: "Don't be afraid, listen to the sound from afar." ”
Tang Qibo's face was serious: "Even if it is not a tiger, it should be some kind of large beast, and small animals can't make such a sound."
And the beasts in the mountains are agile, how steep the mountain road is like walking on the ground, looking far away, if you really come over, it may be a matter of a few minutes, let's hurry up. ”
"And the beasts are very intimidating, and the other animals in the mountains will run out, and if they encounter some difficult ones, it will be troublesome."
Tang Qibo still remembered that when the armed team entered the wild boar forest to strangle the wild boars, a few of them ran into the mountains.
The old professor nodded, and decisively picked up his sample: "Go!" ”
If it was just him, the old professor would be willing to go in and explore.
He has been single so far, has no children, no daughters, no worries, and has written a will early, and after his death, he will donate his estate to the school, and his body will also be donated to the school's medical school, even if he dedicates himself to the cause of science at this moment, he has no complaints.
But he also brought a few students, this is the sun of the motherland at eight or nine o'clock, and it is the hope of the motherland. He has to be responsible for the students.
On the way back, I also met several teams, there were dozens of people in total, and when I saw so many people together, everyone was relieved to come back together.
After processing the samples, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village to talk about today's events.
Li Nianmian also knew about this through the WeChat group in the group, thinking that it should be the aura here that attracted the animals in the mountains, and the animals that became big and fierce before were probably the result of the nourishment of the aura.
After thinking about it, Li Nianmian quietly entered the deep mountains at night, and arranged several five-star spirit gathering arrays with average quality jade along the way, the effect was definitely not as good as the spirit stones in the space on his own mountain, but it was better than nothing.
Li Nianmian returned to Xishanju at nearly four o'clock in the morning, and as soon as he stepped onto the foot of the mountain, he found that something was wrong. Today, there are no stars and no moon, and there are street lights in the countryside, and this time point is also the time when people sleep most soundly, and the lights in every household are turned off, and it is dark around.
Fortunately, after cultivating, Li Nianmian's night vision ability became stronger, only to find a mandrill hiding in a big tree next to it, and the lush branches and foliage covered its figure.
Li Nianmian recognized that this was the mandrill that had eaten one of her pills last time, jumped lightly on the treetops, and touched its head: "Why are you here, there are people here, it's very dangerous." ”
"Squeak!"
When the mandrill saw that Li Nianmian found it, it grinned happily, to be honest, the appearance of the mandrill, the smile was like a ghost, if someone saw it fiercely, it would not be scared.
The mandrill didn't know if she understood, squinted her eyes slightly, and rubbed her hand with some affection.
"Squeak, squeak." It screamed quietly, pulling out a white mass and slamming it into her arms out of nowhere.
Li Nianmian opened his hand for some reason, soft, tender, and a little warm.
It's a... Monkey?
But are there any white monkeys?
Li Nianmian looked at it for two minutes, and finally silently took out his mobile phone, and only then did he know that there was really a white monkey, and he was lonely.
But the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, this look was clearly not the white monkeys that came out of Baidu, this was clearly the juvenile body of the mandrill!
This is an albino mandrill.
