Chapter 5 Encounters with Dogs
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, the two of them still did not find any valuable clues. Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but wonder if he was right or wrong in deciding to come. It's not right to leave now, if you don't leave, keep going, and if you encounter any danger in the night, the gains will outweigh the losses. Especially if he is still with Xiaolong, he is really sorry for him if he encounters any danger.
Zhang Xiaotian kept thinking about how to make a choice now, so he simply slowed down. By the way, observe the situation around you more.
"Brother Tian, do you feel the cold here. It's getting dark, what are we going to do now. "Maybe it's the late autumn season that makes people feel a little cool at this time. Zhang Xiaolong couldn't help but say.
Zhang Xiaotian turned around: "It's okay, let's continue to walk forward for a while, it really won't work later, let's find a slightly flat place to rest, and then build a fire, I brought some food in my bag." There are also some emergency tools. ”
"Brother Tian, you said that those who came in must be lost, right? Why don't we shout loudly, this place is so quiet, if it is not very far away, you will definitely be able to hear it. Zhang Xiaolong made a suggestion.
"I think it's better to forget it, it's so weird here, maybe our voices will attract something. Zhang Xiaotian said with a serious expression. "It's good to have ideas, but you also have to use your brain. Now it's just the two of us, in case our voice attracts large wild animals or something, can we handle it?" After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it and found that there was no signal, and it seemed that he could only give up if he wanted to make a call. And it's almost 7 p.m. now.
So he said to Xiaolong again: "Let's speed up our pace, hurry up and find a better place to rest first." He took the lead as he spoke.
The night gradually darkened, and the starlight scattered in this primitive jungle, away from the neon of the city, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, accompanied by the slightest cool breeze, people unconsciously felt that they had returned to ancient times.
After walking for a long distance, I found a slightly flattened clearing, with the bonfire rising. Instantly gives 2 people a lot of security. Zhang Xiaotian took out the bread and mineral water he brought before entering the mountain and threw them to Zhang Xiaolong.
"Let's eat, let's rest for a while. With so many people entering the mountain, we didn't find anyone walking back, which means that they are still in the mountain. So the police station should have sent someone into the mountains to look for people. ”
"Besides, we won't be able to go back for a while. Later, when you have rested, you will walk forward. I have a flashlight in my backpack. I'll give you one later. ”
"Brother Tian, I think we should stay here with peace of mind, it's getting dark. If you run around like this, you might encounter danger. We're waiting for the search and rescue team to come and look for the others. It's safer that way. Zhang Xiaolong said vaguely as he stuffed bread into his mouth.
Zhang Xiaotian took out the moisture-proof mat and lay it on the ground, lying down and said: "Then it depends on the situation, let's rest for a while, and I'm quite tired after walking all afternoon." ”
Look up at the deep starry sky and look at the little stars. For a while, Zhang Xiaotian thought a lot, what was the purpose of rushing to such a strange mountain this time. What should I do if something happens?
I still have too many regrets and unwillingness in my heart, and my parents are still waiting for me at home.
and Xiaofan, "Why did you break up with me, 8 years of relationship can't withstand the invasion of time, and it still can't be regarded as the fickleness of people's hearts." You didn't give me an answer the whole time, and you didn't even want to see each other again. ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaotian clenched his fists fiercely, and vowed to find out about this matter after he went back, even if it was to get an answer that made his heart ache. It's better than wasting a few years of time like this......
Time passed little by little, and Zhang Xiaotian fell asleep in a daze......
I don't know how long it took......
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the grass not far away.
This made Zhang Xiaolong, who was already timid, feel a chill welling up in his heart.
"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, wake up quickly, there is movement ahead. Zhang Xiaolong shook Zhang Xiaotian's shoulders vigorously.
"En?" Zhang Xiaotian sat up with a snort. quickly opened the backpack, took out 2 flashlights, and threw one to Zhang Xiaolong. Then he turned on the flashlight, and walked cautiously towards the place where the sound was coming from in front of him.
Pause every few steps to carefully identify the exact location of the sound. As he kept getting closer, Zhang Xiaotian secretly swallowed his saliva. What he could now be sure of was that the sound was coming from the weeds in front of the right.
"Xiaolong took out the dagger in my bag," Zhang Xiaotian whispered to Zhang Xiaolong, and then looked around and picked up a dead branch of about 2 meters. Slowly approach the weeds from. As the distance approached, the sound in the grass became quieter and quieter. When we got close to the grass, silence returned.
Zhang Xiaotian shook the dead branch in his hand tightly. Slowly stretched out to the grass, and then violently picked up the weeds, only to find that it was a wounded dog lying in the grass and licking the wounds on his body, and then patted his chest and sighed secretly.
That's when he took a closer look. I saw that the dog had some large and small wounds on his neck and back, like caused by biting other dogs or other animals. Blood stained its fur red. It seems that the situation in the mountains is not so simple. Maybe other dogs and people will be in danger. Zhang Xiaotian thought to himself.
"Xiaolong took out the first aid kit from his backpack and let's bandage this dog. Zhang Xiaotian turned his head and said to Zhang Xiaolong.
"Oh, here you go. Brother Tian, it shouldn't have encountered any beasts. "It hurts a lot like this. Zhang Xiaolong had a worried look on his face.
Zhang Xiaotian also had a trace of worry in his eyes at this time, "Maybe, it seems that the situation is not optimistic." We'll bandage the dog and look around, if you're scared, stay here and wait, I'll have to take a look. At this time, a strong feeling rose in Zhang Xiaotian's heart. We must move on. Otherwise, you'll miss something.
After disinfecting and bandaging the dog, Zhang Xiaotian signaled if the dog could take him forward, and the dog stared at them with grateful eyes. Then he struggled to prop up his limbs and slowly stood up. Staggered forward.
Along the way, except for the sound of two people and one dog walking, the surroundings fell silent again. Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaolong did not speak. The two of them frowned, one worried. In such a situation, it is estimated that no one can achieve peace of mind.
As he went farther and farther, the feeling in Zhang Xiaotian's heart became stronger and stronger, as if he was destined to reveal this mystery.
Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night......
The Big Dipper in the sky is also getting brighter and brighter at the moment......
