Chapter 13 Mother Xiaoyang, holding the red cloth in her hand
Yes, this huge corpse turned out to be the Shennongjia savage we met outside the Yelang Sacrifice Hall in the west of Baokang, that is, the Xiaoyang and Gan giant in the legends of ancient books. Its appearance was exactly as I remembered it.
Several of them were almost identical, with the same burly figure, papaya-like breasts falling in front, faces and hairy bodies similar to human beings, with fists clenched tightly.
The difference is that it is already dead, its body is swollen and watery, and its eyes are cloudy white.
We spent a lot of effort to pull this big guy, which weighed several hundred kilograms, to the shore, and checked his body in the rain: this savage was soaked all over, and his hair was in clumps.
The abdomen was highly swollen, and there was a fist-sized penetrating wound on the left side, with black intestines flowing out. It looked like the wound was a new one, and the savage should not have been dead for long. Wan Sanye put his hand on it
On his belly, he frowned and said in a solemn tone: "There is a fetus in the belly of this corpse. It seems to be very big..."
His words made us all feel heavy: To be honest, I don’t like Xiaoyang, because my life has been threatened by them, and I saw them smash the head of a friend of mine.
But in the final analysis, they are only protecting their homes from being invaded, and they kill people, just like us hunting. There is nothing to say about natural selection.
But it breaks our hearts to see a mother die, no matter what her species.
Look at this wound. It is the huge black shadow that appeared by the peach blossom forest in Xiaojun's mouth. The few shots Xiaojun fired happened to hit Xiaoyang's belly. With his physique, he could have lasted for a while.
, but because she happened to be pregnant, she died. We were silent for a while, and Zamao Xiaodao suddenly thought, maybe the fetus inside is not dead yet? Otherwise, we should perform a caesarean section on Xiaoyang and give the child to the baby.
take out?
Although I knew that once the mother died, the undeveloped fetus would not be able to survive, but almost no one raised any objections. With reverence for life, we carried Xiaoyang to the crevice where we had been sheltered from the rain.
Mr. Wan Sanye wiped Xiao Yang's tight belly clean, then took out a sharp knife and began to dissect along the wound, cutting open the belly to reveal the uterus wrapped in abdominal membrane.
However, Wan Sanye stopped halfway through the operation.
The bullet hit right into its womb, ending the life conceived inside it.
Mr. Wan San shook his head, sighed, and said, "What a sin." He put away the knife, looked at the light rain outside, looked back at us, and said, "Let's go." I noticed that the old man's brows were thicker.
There were some wrinkles. He had traveled around the world for most of his life and had seen a lot of life and death. He started to sort out the things on the ground. I looked back at Xiao Yang who was lying on the ground and found that there seemed to be something abnormal on his left hand.
I squatted down and saw that it was clenching tightly in its hands. It seemed like there was something inside. I tried to open it, but my fingers were stiff and it was difficult to open it.
Everyone got up and left. Zamao Xiaodao hit me with a stick and said, let's go, the body is here, it's important to find someone. I ignored him, pulled out a knife, and cut the hand bit by bit.
Pry it open. As the joints loosen, the thing held in the hand appears in front of me: it is a red cloth strip, wrinkled, with white stains and marks on it. Look at this, it seems to be from a strip of cloth.
The top of the underwear was torn off. The quality is not very high-end. If sold at a roadside stall, it would cost only ten yuan per pair.
Cheap is cheap, but as an owl in the roaring mountains and forests, where did it go to get underwear?
Obviously, this piece of cloth came from a person, probably from the missing Wan Chaoan. When everyone saw the piece of cloth in my hand, they all felt like seeing hope in a desperate situation. But even though I was close,
, but no one can rely on this red cloth to determine that it belongs to Wan Chaoan. There is no signal in this trench, so they can't contact Wan Chaoan's mother to see if this kid was wearing these red underwear when he left.
.
Moreover, if it is true that all the underwear fell into Xiao Yang's hands, I'm afraid that person's hope of living is really slim.
As a result, I guessed that my discovery was more bad news than hope.
There was still a misty drizzle above our heads. We walked slowly back along the road, but our mood was heavier than when we came. Mr. Wan San did not say anything. The mountain road was quite slippery. He walked carefully with a cane, while I had to pay attention to the road ahead.
Wan Chaodong, this kid is a wrestling professional. He fell down four times after walking less than half a mile. Even wearing a raincoat, he was soaked and shivering from the cold. If it rains continuously today and there is no bonfire, just
I was afraid that he would catch a cold - the dry firewood for the fire at noon was placed in the tent by Li Tangcheng and others. There was not much left. If it continued to rain like this, I was afraid that it would never light up again.
After crossing a hilltop, we walked carefully down the gap in the forest. Suddenly Wan Sanye raised his head and whispered that something was going on.
While he was talking, he had already hid behind a small tree nearby. I looked down and saw two gray dogs on our way downhill. They were about the size of a big wolfdog, standing on the thorns at the corner.
Wandering in the bush. I hurriedly squatted down next to Mr. Wan and asked what it was? A wolf or a wild dog? He lowered his voice and said that the howling of wolves could often be heard in Heizhugou, and maybe there really was a pack of wolves here.
It’s not that I have never seen wolves. I once went to play with a girl in the Nanfang City Zoo. At that time, I felt like a wilted wolfdog, with severe hair loss and leprosy. I really didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
What a threat. However, seeing the two vigorous gray wolves at the foot of the slope, an ominous premonition came to mind.
Wan Chaodong cursed bitterly at the side. When he came, he wanted to borrow his cousin Wan Xin's three-barreled shotgun for fun, but he was refused. Now we can deal with this gray wolf with the knife in our hands.
, much larger.
Zamao Xiaodao didn't care, and asked Wan Sanye, is it okay to beat the wolf to death? Is there any taboo in it?
Mr. Wan San shook his head and said, do you really think I am an old antique? If it wants to eat us, we will naturally resist. However, if it passes by, we will not kill it if we can. If we kill too much, we will be contaminated.
Those who cause karma, young people, it's better not to be too cruel with your hands... As soon as he finished speaking, the relatively tall and majestic gray wolf was already looking towards us, squinting for a while, and suddenly "Ouch"
"The Earth Changer howled, and then rushed towards the forest slope.
Its legs flew up and the muddy water in the ground splashed.
was discovered.
The two gray wolves were nothing in the eyes of Zamao Xiaodao and I, who had experienced hundreds of battles. We stood up, me with a knife and Zamao Xiaodao with a stick, and we were on guard. However, the gray wolf ran away.
When we were ten meters in front of us, six or seven more gray and black wild wolves emerged from the corner ahead, running towards us.
The leading gray wolf had already run three meters in front of me. When he saw that we were on guard, he very cunningly did not pounce on us. Instead, he turned around and cruised around us, waiting for his companions to arrive.
I looked at its black eyes and felt the light of wisdom.
It's really cunning, completely different from the ones in the zoo. In my mind, wolves should be extinct either in grasslands or snowfields like the Greater Khingan Mountains, or on the Qinghai-Tibet line, where people gather in the interior.
Thinking that there are still more than a dozen wolves in this ditch, I guess they are cunning enough to avoid being wiped out.
We stood back to back, guarding against the wolves that were approaching one after another. They were cruising around the outside, and then cautiously tried several times, but we were decisively forced away. However, it was at this time that we were surrounded.
In this forest, four or five wild wolves came around behind us. As the leading wolf howled, they rushed toward us condescendingly.
Four people, nine wolves.
The claws and teeth of the wolves are sharp. Ordinary people may have been buried in the belly of the wolf long ago, but what are we afraid of? The peach wood stick on the Zamao Trail was not dehydrated, it was slippery and pliable. It was stretched straight and thrown out, and it was whipped on a gray wolf.
, immediately sounded like thunder, and like a big gun pulling a pulley, it bounced away far away. I held the machete tightly in my hand, and in the first moment, I cut off a wolf's head, and the smelly blood rushed out.
My whole body.
Once a conflict occurs, the scene becomes very chaotic. I am not greedy for killing, but try my best to protect the old and frail Wan Sanye and the calf Wan Chaodong. The responsibility of repelling the wolves is mostly
Leave it to Zamao Xiaodao to solve it.
In the midst of the chaos, out of the corner of my eye, a short black shadow suddenly flew past me, heading towards Wan Chaodong next to me.
Without time to resist, I reached out and pushed him, and saw a bright blade of light flying over Wan Chaodong's head, and then a few clusters of black hair flew into the sky. I saw the black shadow blade sweeping towards me.
Come on, I stretched out my machete and blocked it. With a stabbing sound, many sparks appeared. As soon as the black shadow landed on the ground, it immediately shot up again and fought me twice, fast and hard.
When I think of Xiao Yang, I immediately think of the origin of this black shadow.
At the beginning of the year, Xiao Yingwu, the uncle of Zamao Trail, had his left hand broken at the elbow. Isn't this guy the culprit? It turned out to be this poisonous snake, lurking in the dark, driving the wolves to attack us. I struggled to shake it off
He opened his eyes and looked at this guy intently, and couldn't help but be shocked.
