According to previous experience, drinking and having fun should be strictly prohibited in the village tonight. Although Cheng Yu is just hiding in the laboratory, if the village is as lively as the first day, Cheng Yu can more or less be heard here.
Some noise.
But that night, everything was silent except for the sound of birds and insects on the mountain behind the laboratory window.
Cheng Yu was bored, but he could only stay here and patiently wait for the arrival of the second half of the night.
At around nine o'clock domestic time, Cheng Yu sent a message to Du Xiaoyu, telling her that he would keep an eye on the stock market in the United States tonight and would not go back to sleep at night, so that she could rest early. In this regard,
Du Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but simply replied "I know". Cheng Yu then put his phone into silent mode with confidence and continued to sit at the back window of the laboratory waiting for the time to pass.
.
Perhaps because of the brightness of the two searchlights in the village, Cheng Yu felt that the mountain behind the laboratory was particularly bright tonight, so bright that he could even see the swaying shadows of the trees. It should be because of the lights, all kinds of complex reflections
As a result, the mountain was much brighter than the previous nights, which added a little bit of fun to Cheng Yu's boring wait. The back window was no longer dark and still.
Instead, just like the animation, the shadows of the trees swayed back and forth in the wind, and occasionally birds could be seen flying up and down. The domestic time had passed eleven o'clock, and the local time had reached more than ten o'clock. Cheng Yu even heard
A few calls of foxes or other small wild animals made Cheng Yu stand up and look out the back window.
Stretch your body by looking for traces of small animals.
The back window looked a little brighter, probably because the moon had come out, adding a little light between the sky and the earth. Cheng Yu actually saw a small animal, which looked like a puppy, probably
Fox, jump forward among the mountains and forests, sometimes disappearing behind the trees, and suddenly appearing in Cheng Yu's field of vision. Cheng Yu
This is the first time in my life that I have observed a little fox from the wild in such detail.
The little fox stood in a relatively open place, sat down, and looked up, which made Cheng Yu completely sure that it was a fox.
A bird was chirping on the tree. The little fox looked at the bird motionlessly, then suddenly jumped up high, stretched out its front paws and tried to pat the bird that was parked on the tree branch, which was only three meters away from the ground.
The arriving bird. The bird started up, flapped its wings and flew high, disappearing in the forest. The little fox obviously failed, but it just slipped away quickly after landing, and also got into the bushes.
Cheng Yu's vision was lost
The trace of the little fox. Cheng Yu lamented that a little fox that was only 50 or 60 centimeters tall when it stood up could reach nearly three meters after jumping up. However, humans have a height of nearly two meters and their arms are already longer than that.
Most people can't touch that fox, which is 3.05 meters high. It has to be said that in terms of athletic ability, almost all animals are more evolved than humans. Even domestic pigs can run with all their strength.
Shi is no longer an ordinary person
class can catch up.
At the same time, Cheng Yu noticed the direction in which the little fox disappeared. Behind the trees, he could vaguely see traces of bluestone slabs.
Why are there bluestone slabs here?
Cheng Yu observed intently, trying to tell whether he had seen it wrong, or whether there was really a bluestone slab hidden behind the bushes. After looking for a long time, he found nothing. The object that looked like a bluestone slab was just visible.
Because when the little fox got into the bush, many short shrubs and weeds were pressed to both sides, and a piece of grass was exposed in the middle.
Due to the gap, the little fox is now gone, and the shrubs and weeds have long since returned to their original state. Although there is still wind in the mountains, it cannot blow so low to the ground.
Cheng Yu hesitated, thinking about whether he should walk out of the yard and go to the mountain behind to find out, but finally gave up the idea. The little black girl said that there were people on duty on the top of the mountain today, although it was unclear from Cheng Yu's point of view.
No one could be seen. Those people should mainly be at the other end of the village, but Cheng Yu felt that it was so bright outside that he should not risk it.
This risk is better. After sitting down again, Cheng Yu continued to wait for the arrival of the second half of the night to see whether the lights in the village would go out. Midnight must be a watershed. After all, under such strong light, although the entire village would not be as bright as day,
but
I'm afraid not many people can sleep peacefully.
Not long after, the cry of the little fox came from the window again. Cheng Yu looked around and saw another little fox. But he didn't know if it was the same one just now.
Cheng Yu stood up again and leaned against the window, wanting to see what the fox wanted to do.
The little fox acted exactly as he had just done. He squatted on the ground and looked up at the tall tree in front of him. Cheng Yu followed the little fox's gaze. Sure enough, there were birds perching between a few branches, and this
This time there was not just one, but three birds standing together on the same branch, although they did not make any chirping sound.
But he was pacing back and forth, making the branches make a slight sound.
The little fox's target was obviously the three birds. Cheng Yu seemed to be watching the animal world at this moment, but the description of a rich baritone was missing from the picture.
The whole scene seemed to be still, and Cheng Yu couldn't help but clenched his fists subconsciously. He wanted to see if the little fox could catch a bird as its dinner tonight. The little fox moved quietly again.
, the body was only slightly straight, and then it shot up like a sharp arrow, and there was obviously a waist-twisting movement in mid-air. The little fox grabbed the branch with one claw, and with the help of this climbing force, the body climbed up again
It rose more than a foot higher. Although the three birds fluttered their wings respectively, they obviously did not expect that the little fox did not pounce directly on them. Instead, it grabbed the branch and made its body jump up again, and used this to correct the situation.
The birds changed direction and flew almost horizontally. Finally, one of the birds was caught by the little fox's front paws that stretched out again. Its wings flapped violently, but it was of no avail. It still fell straight to the ground.
go.
Turning over in the air, the little fox landed quietly without any pause, and pounced on the fallen bird with a speed that was jaw-dropping for humans. The bird was naturally unwilling to be captured just like this. For it, this moment was the distance between life and death.
Even though it was slapped and one of its wings was obviously broken, it still flapped its wings desperately and burrowed into the bushes.
Go. Cheng Yu estimated that the bird's feet must have been paddling frantically at this moment. The bird seemed to be gliding on the ground and rushed into the bushes. This scene seemed familiar. Those who had already seen it before
Can't afford to fly
Don’t the chickens and ducks that come here always do the same thing?
As for the little fox, as soon as its front paws landed on the ground, it ran forward again, and then its hind legs landed on the ground. It also followed the bird into the bushes. In the short bushes, the little fox and the bird
The final battle began. For a moment, the whole bush was swaying. One desperately wanted to escape, so he went deeper, while the other would never give up.
Then I want to turn the other person into tonight's dinner.
Cheng Yu was like the fisherman who watched quietly when the snipe and the clam were fighting, watching the little fox hunting, but through all this, he saw the appearance deeper in the bush. The messy reflections caused by the lights in the village were suspended in the sky.
In the east, the bright moonlight that has not yet appeared in Cheng Yu's vision, and the life and death battlefield between the little fox and the bird, three conditions are indispensable, which allows Cheng Yu to clearly see
That piece of bluestone.
That was not Cheng Yu's illusion. There really were bluestone slabs behind the trees, and there were more than one. Cheng Yu saw at least three bluestone slabs, arranged in steps, as if there were hidden stones among the trees on the mountain.
A path built by people in the early years, but now due to age and natural erosion
Therefore, it has been abandoned for a long time.
If this is the case, there will be something else on the top of the mountain, maybe it is the hiding place of those treasures.
These endless thoughts crowded into Cheng Yu's mind almost instantly. The treasure that had been lingering for the past few days had now exploded with strong traces, and Cheng Yu couldn't help but think in that direction.
Just thinking about it for such a short moment, Cheng Yu could no longer sit still. He walked quickly to the door of the laboratory, gently opened the door a crack, and observed the situation in the hospital through the crack in the door. There was no situation in the hospital.
, the little black girl has not left the house since she came back. I don’t know whether she still didn’t wake up after being hypnotized by Cheng Yu, or whether she went to bed and continued sleeping after waking up. In short, the yard was quiet at all.
Silent.
Cheng Yu slipped out of the laboratory, turned back and closed the door, then stayed at the back along the wall of the laboratory.
There is also a wall-penetrating technique in the system mall that has been redeemed but has not been used yet. Now I don’t care about wasting it. Climbing the wall is too dangerous. If the earth wall cannot withstand it and collapses, it will be a disaster.
movement.
Using the wall penetration technique, Cheng Yu successfully reached the narrow passage between the wall and the mountain. Miles Yu had been here once before, when he first entered the courtyard, but he didn't pay attention at all at the time.
He didn't pay attention to the mountain behind his feet. All his attention was on the courtyard behind the courtyard wall.
among.
At this moment, Cheng Yu was able to observe this place carefully. He took out the small flashlight he carried with him, held it down to prevent people on the mountain from seeing the light here, and shined it towards the connection between the mountain and the ground. He looked back and forth for a few times.
At this point, Cheng Yu could see that although the mountain was covered with weeds and shrubs, and of course there were tall trees, there was an area about one meter wide that contained only weeds and no shrubs, let alone any
Trees. And if you extend this one-meter-wide area upwards, you can clearly see that there are no shrubs or trees growing on the hillside, and the weeds on this section are relatively sparse. If you ignore those weeds,
It actually seems like a path leading to the top of the mountain.
Cheng Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of weeds, and gently swiped them away. As he expected, these weeds grew out of nothing but floating soil. The soil layer was very shallow, and they sprouted up by their roots as soon as they were pulled out.
Cheng Yu caught the weeds by their roots. He saw that the roots of these grasses almost all grew horizontally. This was only true if the soil layer was shallow. The roots of the weeds quickly spread to the surroundings because they could no longer grow below.
go
.
It is precisely because the soil here is so thin that shrubs and trees cannot grow here.
Cheng Yu quickly pulled out a few weeds, and the loose soil was picked up one after another. At the same time, he also saw the same bluestone slab where the little fox caught birds that he had just seen over the top of the earth wall.
Cheng Yu was overjoyed. He stepped on the bluestone slab, which was extremely solid under his feet. Then he continued to pull out the upward weeds, and another bluestone slab appeared in front of his eyes. There was no doubt that there was a road leading to the top of the mountain, but he didn't know
For some reason, the path was covered with floating soil and weeds grew up, so that later generations didn't even know it existed.
