Chapter 405
,
Cai Yujia looked at the green light flashing in front of him and pondered: "That's right, retreating to the other side can reduce losses..." As he said that, he suddenly widened his eyes in horror, pointed to the opposite side of the mountain stream, and his lips were trembling and unable to speak.
Look in the direction he pointed—
On the other side of the mountain stream, a big yellow-skinned and white-headed tiger was standing quietly on the shore, looking at them without blinking!
When will the tiger come to the other side? I don’t know.
How long has it been staring behind it? I don't know.
Why didn't it join the battle during the War of Man and Wolf? Because it was proud and disdainful of fighting in groups, of course it was a little afraid of bonfires and guns, and did not dare to act rashly.
But the wolf with a keen sense of smell discovered it, so he retreated decisively when the scene was dominant. No matter how cruel they were, they would not dare to fight with the boss. In the mountains, tigers are the undisputed mountain kings. However, they were a little unwilling to accept that no matter how much tigers eat, they could not eat three people in one bite, so they hid in the dark with some luck.
This pushed them to the most dangerous edge, and it really responded to the saying: there were wolves in front and tigers behind, and they were patronized by the most powerful and cruel beasts in the mountains.
Cai Yujia said: "This mountain stream is about six meters wide. Can a tiger fly over?"
"Even if it is difficult to jump into the air, the tiger can swim, and the mountain stream cannot stop it," said Xiao Lu, "but during the jump or swimming, it cannot resist us from firing too many shots. The scene of killing a group of wolves just now gave it a strong shock, otherwise we would not see the sun tomorrow when the attack suddenly came."
The community said: "It is at least better to have this barrier. The trouble is that the tiger is very patient. It will keep staring behind us and wait for us to neglect and make mistakes."
As things came to this point, everyone was no longer panic. Xiao Lu monitored the wolves and the community monitored the tigers. Cai Yujia kept adding firewood and hay to burn the bonfire. In the next few hours, neither side had the intention to further escalate the war. They just stood up monotonously and nervously until after five o'clock in the morning.
First, the wolves made a short whimper and left the battlefield one after another. The tiger raised his head and turned his neck, stretched his front paws to his mouth and licked it for a while, and turned around without saying a word. Everyone then relaxed and didn't care about other dangers. They lay around the campfire and slept soundly until the hot sunlight made their skin hot.
After experiencing the thrilling night and not having enough sleep, everyone was in a whole day without energy. They rarely talked and joked during the journey. They silently followed the mountain stream and entered Peak No. 94, climbed to the top and looked west. There were two choices in front. One was to climb over the left peak and enter Qiuzhu Mountain. The other was to detour from the woods in front and crossed the long valley to the hillside of Qiuzhu Mountain.
There is no real road in both directions, and it is equally dangerous. The tiger and wolf last night took the initiative to retreat rather than be defeated, and may make a comeback at any time. The two special police officers did not speak and looked at Cai Yujia. If they had not encountered it last night, Cai Yujia would have been full of confidence. Only then did he realize that in the face of the unfathomable mountains, people were so small that they were not as good as ants!
"Walk a little further and if you really can't find it, go home... No matter what, you have to find a safe place to spend the night," said Cai Yujia.
Through the slope, the primitive marsh was covered with extremely complete forests. In addition to big trees and small trees, the hillsides also had wild vines and weeds. Cai Yujia ignored the pain and mosquitoes and flies, and occasionally drilled into the branches and grass to search, and even ventured to lie down on the edge of the cliff and look down, which made the community and Xiaolu frightened.
"I have it!" Cai Yujia suddenly screamed in ecstasy, picked a wild ru from the dead tree stump with a smile on her face, held it in front of her eyes and looked at it repeatedly, as if she had found a treasure.
Xiao Lu said in surprise: "Dr. Cai, I think this Ru is no different from the greenhouse in Wudu Town."
"Where do you look at the color, shape, and saturation are different!" Cai Yujia was excited to stuff the wild rooster into her bag. If she didn't take it back, she strode forward. After a while, she found a few more in the cracks of the rocks. She was even more excited, and her pace was so fast that both special police officers couldn't keep up.
As he walked, the community stopped, looked around alertly, sniffed, and said, "No, it smells strange!"
After he reminded Xiao Lu, he also discovered: "It's not a strange smell, it seems to be the smell of exhaust gas emitted by factories... How can there be factories in the deep mountains and old forests?"
Cai Yujiaxiang didn't hear it and kept urging: "Hurry, move forward quickly, and strive to reach the valley ahead before sunset."
Xiao Lu and the community looked at each other, took out their pistols at the same time, and said, "Let's open the way in front." With their experience, hiding in the mountains to open a factory is either a secret drug manufacturing base or an underground arms workshop, which is very dangerous in short.
Along the way, Cai Yujia found wild ru at different locations, and was so excited that she wanted to grow wings and fly to the valley.
The marching was three or four miles long, and the road was blocked by a mountain stream in front. The stream was only four or five meters wide, but it was very deep below, and it was five or six meters high from the shore entrance to the bottom of the stream. Both sides of the mountain stream were filled with stones of different shapes, some were exposed, some were round as balls, some were covered with small holes, and some were like hollow wood prints, proving the vicissitudes of thousands of years.
Cai Yujia saw that the water in the stream was not deep and clear, and it was only about thirty or forty centimeters, so she rolled up her trousers and was about to flow over. However, the two special police officers were still moving and stared at the other side in a hurry.
"What's wrong? Let's go!" Cai Yujia was a little surprised to see that the two of them didn't move.
Xiao Lugang said two words: "Over the other..."
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the pile of stones on the right back: "Don't move, raise your hand!" The black double-tube hunting rifle muzzle stretched out from the crack of the rock and aimed at Cai Yujia.
The two special police officers heard each other's identity at the same time and laughed. Xiao Lu said, "Is it Mr. Ye? Stop joking, come out."
Ye Yun put away the hunting rifle and appeared slowly, but her face was covered in frost. She came to the three of them and said, "You two avoid it, I have something to say to Dr. Cai."
Xiao Lu and the community knew that she had been following her from Wudu Town, so they would never just make a joke. They also knew that Fang Sheng trusted her very much, and nodded and avoided more than ten meters away.
Cai Yujia held up her glasses and asked in confusion: "Why is Mr. Ye free to come here?"
Ye Yun took off the telescope hanging on her chest and rushed to the other side and said, "Look at it."
The rocks on the other side of the telescope were piled silently, and I couldn't tell what was wrong, but I always felt that there was an unpredictable risk.
"Nothing." Cai Yujia said.
Ye Yun reached out and took a wild Ru from his bag: "I guess Dr. Cai must have followed it, right?"
"I need native plants with higher quality so that I can solve the technical problems I encountered before," Cai Yujia asked again, "Why did Mr. Ye come? Regarding procurement, or artificial planting?"
