"What's going on? Lao Di and the others haven't come back yet, so maybe something happened..."
In front of a house at the entrance of Majia Village, Pu Junxiong and a group of people were looking at the house on the way to Mishan.
It is already the second day after everyone has returned, but Team A led by Di Chu has not returned yet, and there is not even any news.
Pu Junxiong sent people to search the road early in the morning, but due to the strong resistance of the wind and snow, those people had to return to Majia Village halfway through.
The only plan for now is to wait for the wind and snow to lighten up, and then head up the mountain to look for it.
While everyone was waiting for the wind and snow to subside, Hang Baiqiu came to the house.
"Pu Si Shi, I can lead a group of people into the mountain!" Hang Baiqiu said.
Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan discussed it. After all, Di Chu is also a colleague in the same department. Even though he is annoying and tyrannical, there is no news now. As a person with the responsibility of helping, he cannot stand by and watch!
Pu Junxiong let Hang Baiqiu into the house and said gratefully: "Sir Hang, I understand how you feel, but now the wind and snow are too heavy, so all the people I sent out earlier have to come back!"
Hang Baiqiu said: "Then let's wait until the wind and snow subsides, and then we can go into the mountains together!"
Pu Junxiong nodded heavily and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Sir Hang, I'm sorry before. You also know that Lao Di is really arbitrary sometimes..."
"Needless to say, everyone is serving the emperor!" Hang Baiqiu looked like he was letting things go.
At the same time, in front of the village chief's house, Chai Yan and Sun Xingba were also observing the changes in the wind and snow.
Sun Xing said domineeringly: "According to me, Disi and the others must have gone too far, otherwise they would have come back long ago..."
Chai Yan looked ahead quietly and said: "There are so many experienced hunters in the village. When the snow stops, they will definitely come back!"
Sun Xingba also thought so. It snowed on the sixth day after entering the mountain. If there were no accidents, Di Chu and Team A should have been on their way back by then. Even if they were blocked by the snow, they should have left.
Majia Village is not far away.
"By the way, Chai Yan, have you seen a lion?" Sun Xingba suddenly asked curiously.
"I've seen it before. Why, haven't you seen it?" Chai Yan asked.
Chai Yan has seen him in the zoo and on TV.
"I've never seen it..." Sun Xingba shook his head regretfully. He didn't think this was something embarrassing.
Although Sun Xingba grew up in the capital, he was considered a well-informed person in the prosperous dynasty, but he had never seen a beast like a lion with his own eyes. All his knowledge was from books and pictures.
The obtained appearance and image composition are not very accurate.
"Since you have seen a lion, tell me what a lion looks like?" Sun Xingba felt that Chai Yan was bragging, so he simply asked for details.
Chai Yan saw his intention and immediately smiled and said: "The lion's head is big and round. Although it is huge, its body is very even. However, there are obvious differences in the appearance of the male lion and the female lion.
The hair of the male lion is very short, but the male lion has a very long mane, which can extend to the shoulders and chest, and it walks extremely powerfully..."
Sun Xingba couldn't help but be a little surprised. What Chai Yan said was consistent with the villagers. Could it be that he had really seen a lion with his own eyes?
Impossible! I haven’t even seen it, how could he have seen it?
Sun Xingba didn't believe that Chai Yan had seen the lion with his own eyes, so he questioned: "Did you listen to what the villagers said?"
Chai Yan did not defend himself, but asked with a slight smile: "Let me ask you a question, do you know whether a male lion is responsible for hunting in a pride of lions, or a female lion?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Sun Xingba said firmly: "It must be a male lion!"
Chai Yan shook a finger and said: "No, it's a lioness! Male lions rarely participate in hunting. They are usually only responsible for eating and protecting their children!"
"What?" Sun Xingba was surprised for a while, then curled his lips and said, "I don't believe it. You are making this up, right?"
"Believe it or not..." Chai Yan was very calm and continued: "Don't always use our human thinking to measure things in the animal world. Lions are polygamous. As the king of lions,
Of course he has an extraordinary status! Therefore, the hunting work of the lion group is basically completed by the female lions, and the male lions are responsible for eating..."
"Is it true?" Sun Xingba heard this knowledge for the first time and felt very strange: "Then the male lion has a good skin, but he doesn't do anything?"
Chai Yan explained: "Of course, male lions don't eat and live for free. In addition to undertaking the task of reproducing offspring, they also have to fight with wandering vagrants. This is not only related to their status in the lion group, but also includes mating.
It also involves the lives of its descendants!"
"How do you know so much?" Sun Xingba looked at Chai Yan with admiration.
Chai Yan thought to himself, it's not because he watched many episodes of "Animal World" seriously when he was a child!
However, these naturally could not be used to answer Sun Xingba, so he pushed back and said: "I have been traveling around with my master since I was a child. Is there anything strange about knowing this? It's because you are ignorant..."
"Hey!" Sun Xingba curled his lips and muttered: "What's there to be proud of..."
Chai Yan shrugged and continued to look at the snowy weather in front of him.
After a while, Sun Xingba asked again: "Hey, do you think those two lions would have died of hunger or freezing to death? Otherwise, there are so many of us, why have we been searching for so long and there is no news?"
"It's hard to say! If those two lions can't adapt to the environment in the mountains and can't catch prey, they will starve to death or freeze to death sooner or later!" Chai Yan said.
Sun Xingba was startled, opened his mouth and said: "Ah? Then our search is not in vain?"
Chai Yan glanced at Sun Xingba and said to himself: Who made Di Chu greedy for merit and unwilling to give me the whip? It must be done like this, it will waste people and money!
At this time, Chai Yan changed the topic and whispered to Sun Xingba: "Hey! I forgot to ask you, have you looked for those liars from the Western Regions?"
"Why not..." Sun Xingba stopped as soon as he spoke. He subconsciously looked back at the room, and then said in a low voice and forcefully: "Why didn't you find it? I'll ask him when he gets back.
I went to inquire about it, but within a few days I asked Diszhi and others to call me here. I don’t know what the result will be..."
Chai Yan looked at him with suspicion and asked: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Sun Xingba patted his chest and spoke firmly.
Chai Yan nodded, indicating that he believed him for the time being.
After noon, the wind and snow gradually began to subside. When Pu Junxiong called everyone to prepare and plan to enter the mountain at any time, several familiar figures appeared on the road outside the village...
