Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 51 All things have spirit
"Everything has animism, Captain Lin, you have to put away your arrogance." Ye Mimi said leisurely.

"Okay." Lin Xiaodong obviously didn't buy it, but he still asked, "Then what is it teaching you?"

"Look for a habitat along the direction the wind is blowing. But at that time, I just knew it and didn't know why, and the final place I chose to build a shelter was entirely because I didn't want it to follow me anymore.

That place, I saw it standing far away on the top of the mountain, not approaching, thought to myself, it should be here. "Ye Mimi said, "I use small tree trunks and vines as supports, cover it with a layer of spruce branches, and then cover it with layers of dead leaves, so that even if it rains, it will not leak.

Making a fire is a long and torturous thing. At that time, I had already found a good thing to store the fire. It was a kind of dry wood fungus. After being lit, it could smolder for a long time, just like your common mosquito coils. Always bring sparks, add some dry sorrel, and you can have fire again.

With shelter at last and a fire lit, I felt safe again for a while.

I just didn't expect that the next morning, I was woken up by a strange cry of "嘤咚". When I opened my eyes, I saw the lynx. It turned out that such a beast, its cry was really real It's almost like a cat, and now that I think about it, it's quite interesting. "Ye Mimi said, as if evoking some good memories, she laughed.

In the night, with the bonfire reflected, it was the first time Lin Xiaodong saw her smiling so brightly. The so-called flowery smile was probably like this.

It turned out that she can be happy.

"I was startled at first, but seeing it like that, it didn't mean to hurt me. It just saw me wake up, turned around and walked towards the direction of the downwind. After walking two steps, I turned back to look at me, seeing that I was still lying In the shelter, it seemed to be waiting for me again. I began to guess what it meant, was it taking me somewhere?

Sure enough, when I got up to keep up, it continued to walk forward.

We walked for about a kilometer, and when we arrived at a place, it dug the soil with its front paws, and quickly dug out a dead rabbit from the soil. It held it in front of me with its mouth, then turned and walked away silently. .

I looked at the hare just died, very fresh.For me, it is a very precious food. "

"It is thanking you for saving that day?" Lin Xiaodong became more and more bizarre as he heard it.

But Ye Mimi shook his head: "I said it, it was teaching me. After a few days, the same thing happened again, and it brought me to a location about one kilometer away from the shelter, and there were fresh hares again.

After a few times, I began to ponder the reasons for this, and remembered my embarrassing mistake, which almost fed myself to the wild wolf.

Moonlight is telling me that I should put the blood-smelling food far away from my habitat, and it must be in the downwind position, so that even if other predators find the food, it will not endanger me . "

"It turned out to be like this..." Lin Xiaodong was thoughtful, "The position of the downwind..."

"My mistake was that I put food where wild wolves could find it. What Yue Ye taught me is that food is a life-saving thing, but it can't be stored too close to my habitat. Downwind, buried in the ground, Leave a mark that only you know, so you can hide yourself." Ye Mimi said and turned to look at him.

This time, Lin Xiaodong didn't have a flash of inspiration like before, but looked at Ye Mimi in confusion, and asked honestly: "I don't understand, what kind of food are you talking about?"

Ye Mimi raised her eyebrows and showed a secretive smile: "For me, the definition of food is very broad." Then she got up and patted the ashes on her skirt, "The story you want to hear is over, I should go back Well, good night and good luck."

The bonfire has gradually faded, and the unbridled tongues of flames have become floating sparks, dancing in the night sky like burning fireflies.

Ye Mimi walked to the river embankment alone, only Lin Xiaodong stared blankly at her back.

Thousands of miles away in the snowy area, under the full moon, the strong lynx stands proudly on the cliff, patrolling the spruce-covered valley, and under the big tree, real fireflies flicker and flicker, like the earth Take a deep breath.

……

The Linzhou Star, the residence of Qian Yingjie and Liu Lisha, Lin Xiaodong entered for the first time.

Compared with the quality of the public area of ​​the community, the furniture in this room seemed nondescript, just like Liu Lisha's attire.

In the stolen bedroom, the mess at that time remained. The flustered Zhu Youcai didn't even close the partition behind the closet. The small hole in the wall was just ostentatiously exposed.

Lin Xiaodong walked around, imagining how Ye Mimi, who was a yoga teacher, would pass by every corner of this big house quietly like a lynx.

"How did she find this hidden space?" Lin Xiaodong looked back and forth, becoming more and more sure that only Ye Mimi could find this place.He had to watch as closely as she did, focusing on every corner, and it was a marathon pull.

In front of the closet must be the place where she stayed the longest. Lin Xiaodong looked up and down carefully, not wanting to miss any detail.

Not far away, Liu Lisha was thinking: "Auntie hasn't come to clean this week, the house is a bit messy, you can count it after seeing it..."

What a woman who can't grasp the point, Lin Xiaodong thought, and continued to search with his head down.

On the floor next to the closet, there was an extremely shallow spot, only the size of a pea, as if the liquid had dried up.

"Give me a cotton swab." Without looking up, he reached out to his colleagues in the technical department.

Then he bent down to wipe off the spot, carefully put it away, glanced at Liu Lisha who was still thinking about it, and then looked at the trash can beside the bed, except for a few used masks, there was nothing.

……

"How is it? Has the sample I brought been tested?" Lin Xiaodong took the time to go to the technical department and asked about the cotton swabs he brought back from Linzhou Star.

"Team Lin, the results are out. The ingredients are water, protein, inorganic salts and a small amount of lysozyme." The guy from the technical department responded.

"What could that be?"

"In layman's terms, it's tears."

"Tears? Are there any detections on the other things you brought back?"

"So far, only your sample has it."

Lin Xiaodong fell into deep thought. If it was Liu Lisha's tears, given how messy and uncleaned the room was, it was impossible to find it in this one place. He took a deep breath and hurriedly asked the technician beside him: "Can this sample be extracted? To DNA?"
