Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 50 Lynx
"Wind?" Lin Xiaodong was puzzled.

"Those top predators can smell their prey from kilometers away.

Remember that goat I captured?At that time, because I was too complacent, I couldn't wait to slaughter the goat beside the shelter I built, and soon the smell of blood attracted the wild wolves. At first there was only one, wandering not far away, but at that time I Patronizing on feasting, did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

That night, I ate too much and fell asleep quickly.

The bonfire gradually became smaller, and I heard the sound of gnawing in my drowsiness. When I turned over and woke up, I saw three or four huge shadows swaying not far from the shelter in the dark night. When I woke up, it was a few wild wolves about my height, staring at me with green eyes, grinning bloody mouth, showing dark white teeth.

That scene, whenever I think about it later, still makes me sweat.People are mortal, but they are eaten... Hehe, I can't accept it. "When she said this, she suddenly frowned, as if recalling some more unpleasant memories.

This is the first time Lin Xiaodong has seen Ye Mimi's heartfelt expression since he knew her.

"What did you think of?" Lin Xiaodong wanted to know so much that he couldn't help asking.

"Thinking about it, being eaten, fresh flesh and blood will be greedily torn and eaten by wild wolves smelling blood, and the rest of the body will be pecked clean by vultures..." Ye Mimi She described everything in detail, as if she was seeing such a scene at this time, but when she said this, she rarely had a little emotion, the kind of emotion that Lin Xiaodong was still difficult to distinguish.

"You said that night, you were surrounded by wild wolves? How did you escape?" Lin Xiaodong almost forgot his original intention of asking to listen to Ye Mimi's talk about these things—just like before, when he heard the cryptic talk about According to the facts of the case, at this moment, he really wants to know what happened to those wild wolves.

"Oh, that's another story..." Unexpectedly, Ye Mimi looked like a long story, "I can't escape, this is not a Disney fairy tale, I am not Tarzan or the Lion King, I am just a 14-year-old What can I do about my little girl? But those two dangerous years made me believe that in the dark, there is an invisible force that plays a role at the critical moment of life.

This was God's will. At that time, it was not only the wild wolf that was attracted by the smell of blood.

I was sitting on a pile of dead leaves, motionless, unable to think of any way to escape.

A wild cat passed quietly behind the pack of wild wolves. I saw it from that angle. It probably wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the wild wolves to siege me and steal the remaining goat meat.

The wild wolf still found it, its misfortune and my luck.

Wolves are really proud creatures, and the anger of being prey attracted all of their attention at once. "

"As for it, that was the first time I saw it."

"who is it?"

"The 'big cat', I later named it Moonlight, because the first time I saw it was a moonlit night.

It was not until many years later, to be exact, after I arrived at Linzhou University, that I realized that it was not a cat, but a lynx, a cautious and cunning lone traveler.

That night, I thought it was a wild cat trying to steal food, and the wolves that had been targeting me turned around and besieged it because of its appearance.I knew that running was useless. Once the wild wolves chased me, I couldn't run them. I had to take the opportunity to climb a spruce tree with kindling.

Therefore, I can see the scene of Yue Ye fighting with those wild wolves.

This wild cat, which I thought at the time, did not gain the upper hand under the siege of several vicious wolves.It was far more agile and stronger than I had imagined. The first wolf that rushed forward was hit hard by its strong front paws and flew away whimpering.The wolves rushed forward, but they never took advantage of it.

However, the wild wolf howled and sent a signal for help, and soon, reinforcements arrived one after another, and finally it became a situation of one against ten.

Originally, I just hid in the tall spruce trees, waiting for them to leave my camp when they were both defeated.

However, seeing such an unfair battle, I suddenly felt that something should be done.I don't know why I feel empathy for a beast, maybe, at that time, I was like a beast without realizing it.

I took kindling with me when I climbed the tree, spruce trees are rich in oil, and I tried to light the branches and throw them towards my shelter.The shelter was covered with dead leaves, and after a while, it started to burn. The raging fire ignited, and there was a bursting sound from time to time. Seeing this, the wild wolf finally let go of the lynx and retreated.

However, the lynx was not scared away by the flames.

It scrambled up a spruce tree opposite me.I didn't expect it to climb a tree, and my heart that I thought I had escaped escaped again. I was afraid that it would pounce on me, and I would really have no power to fight back.It is a beast that even wild wolves cannot defeat.

But it didn't, it just stood proudly on the branch, its green eyes stared at me, shining brightly under the firelight, those eyes of a strong man made people awe-inspiring.

It watched me for a while, until the shelter was burnt to ashes, the fire went out, and then, turning its head, it disappeared into the night.

And I, hugging the tree trunk prostratedly, was in a daze for a while. My shelter burned down. After a thrilling night, I dare not rebuild it on the spot. I need to find a place that is not targeted by wild wolves.

At that time, I was inexperienced, and I searched aimlessly. It seemed that there was water and flatness.

That lynx would always follow me, and when I wanted to settle down, it would come to me and put on a threatening look, but it wouldn't hurt me.

At first, I thought that I had violated its territory, so I could only avoid it and continue migrating.But it kept following me so nonchalantly that it made me realize that maybe that wasn't the case.

There are always a few moments when it will follow very closely, and other times, it will just wait and see from afar.

After going down several times, I found the pattern, only when I go along the direction of the wind, it will not follow, but when I go against the wind, it will hover around me. "

"Why is it like this?" Lin Xiaodong couldn't help asking, fascinated by what he heard.

"It's trying to teach me." Ye Mimi picked up a fallen leaf blown from nowhere at his feet, threw it into the wind, and the leaf flew towards Chuanyun River with the wind.

"No way, it is a beast, how can it know this?" Lin Xiaodong couldn't believe it.
