Chapter 32 Looking for a Crow
"Crack" At night, Chen Pingsheng lit a bonfire with scrap wood in front of the open space of his ancestral home.

Small flames continued to rise in sight, burning up bursts of green smoke, part of which escaped into the woods, and part of which escaped into the sky.

Set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison.Of course, the weeds beside the bonfire have been cleared away, and Chen Pingsheng doesn't want to set the mountain on fire and the police station at the foot of the mountain.

He lit a bonfire, placed an iron shelf next to it, and took out a small outdoor pot to hang it up.Put instant noodles and ham sausage inside, pour some water, wait for the water to boil, and dinner is ready.

Because there was not much wood for the campfire, the fire was not very strong.In fact, he also had more convenient solid fuel in his bag. The reason why he put in so much effort was simply to experience the feeling of having a picnic.

His tent was placed in the small yard of his ancestral home. He did not camp inside the house because he doubted how long this creaking house could last. If it collapsed in his sleep, he would have no place to find help. Save yourself.

At that time, it was not him who swatted the crow, but the crow who sent it to him.

The sky was gradually getting darker, and the originally bright colors began to show a dark blue color as the sun left. Coupled with the crows standing on the tops of the surrounding woods, it was indeed unsettling.

After finishing his meal, Chen Pingsheng put away his camera, the flash on the camera was ready, and the flashlight hung around his waist, and then stepped into the woods.

"Dumb~dumb~" From time to time, a crow's cry hovered above his head.

Chen Pingsheng walked carefully, not wanting to disturb the group of crows. During the day, he inspected the environment here and found a place that was very suitable for shooting. As long as he walked around a few trees and a piece of grass, he could see a lonely crow. Trees surrounded by rocks.

In his expectation, there must be a large group of crows staying on the branches.

But when he actually arrived, he found that he was a little more optimistic. There was not a single crow on the bare branches in front of him, as if they didn't like the tree very much.

Chen Pingsheng pursed his lips and did not complain about anything. He just walked to the tree opposite, picked up his camera and waited silently.

One hour, two hours.

The sky was completely dark, and occasionally a few crows stayed on the trees scatteredly, but he didn't want to just take pictures, because he was afraid that the crows would fly away after being frightened by the flash.

In order not to disturb any crows or disturb himself, Chen Pingsheng also turned off his mobile phones.

He was just immersed in the dark woods, as if he had turned into a crow.The light reflected by the lens in the moonlight is like the eyes of a crow, sharp and low-key. He is just waiting for a certain moment alone.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Pingsheng, who felt that the weather was getting colder, let out a sigh of relief, stood up, moved his stiff body, and then looked at his watch.

02:30am.

He covered his mouth and yawned, feeling some fatigue welling up in his heart. Although he could still hold on, there was no need.This shooting is not a one or two day thing, it is very important to keep energetic.

But just when Chen Pingsheng was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a large black shadow in his peripheral vision. He rubbed his eyes, turned his head and looked hard at the dead tree.

Sure enough, there was no crow on the dead tree, so where did the black shadow he saw just now come from?
Chen Pingsheng took two steps forward and looked to the left and right.

Suddenly, he saw the shadow of a large black bird with a sharp beak falling on the top of the tree under the high moon.

It turns out that at some point, a tall tree not far from the dead tree was filled with crows!
Incredibly, although Chen Pingsheng never turned on the flashlight, he had been staring around and didn't notice so many crows.

It was as if those crows were silent assassins, gathering in secret, silently and terrifyingly.

Although it was not a dead tree, there was no doubt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Chen Pingsheng decisively picked up the camera, adjusted the parameters, and pressed the shutter.

"Click!" The sound of the shutter has never been so clear and sweet, and with the flash of white light, all the large crows were startled.

"Dumb~dumb~" they shouted loudly and flew into the sky.Chen Pingsheng did not miss this opportunity. He kept pressing the shutter to capture the movements of each crow, as well as the flying of groups of crows.

Only when he could no longer see a crow did he put down the camera with satisfaction.

Returning to the tent, he checked the equipment and film before falling asleep peacefully.

And this will be the best sleep he has ever had on the mountain.

The next morning he was awakened by the sound of crows.Chen Pingsheng originally put soundproof earplugs in his ears, but later he found that the crows were too impactful and could not stop the magical sound from filling his brain, so he simply lay down in the tent and pretended not to hear it.

As a result, after 10 minutes, he still couldn't bear it and came out to wash his face.

Then looking at the crow in the distant tree that stopped crowing immediately after he came out, Chen Pingsheng felt as if he had suffered revenge from the crow.

"Dumb~dumb~" The crow, which had been turning its head to admire Chen Pingsheng's cooking, flew away after he finished eating.

Chen Pingsheng put away the pot, picked up his camera and started shooting for a new day.

But his luck was not that good today. As long as he walked to the tree where the crows were perching, the crows would fly away, leaving him no chance to take pictures.

After several attempts, Chen Pingsheng simply used a telephoto lens to shoot birds remotely. Unfortunately, the movements of the crows today were not in line with his expectations, causing him to be unable to press the shutter button.

In the end, he had no choice but to go further and start sweeping up abandoned villages.

Ruins of ruins and piles of garbage were Chen Pingsheng's first impression after seeing it. Everything here was deserted. The village that was once full of life has turned into the look he likes most in the soul-searching live broadcast.

There are rag dolls left by children, various torn clothes left by adults, and from the corners, you can also see a stick with black hair wrapped around it and a hateful mixture that exudes a stench.

There is nothing here but a sense of terror.

However, Chen Pingsheng became happy because he saw the crow again.

It was a crow eating rotten food. He stood quietly next to the garbage and devoured a rotten fish head.

Not far from the village is the famous Songhua River, from where it must have gotten its food.

Chen Pingsheng slowly approached and was about to raise his camera to take a photo when he suddenly saw the crow make a quick leap and fly away from the place.He squeezed his hand, thinking that he had disturbed it.

But the next moment, a dirty wild cat jumped out from the corner of the nearby room.

"Meow!" All the other cats' meows were cute, but this cat's meow sounded particularly wild to Chen Pingsheng's ears.

It looked at Chen Pingsheng warily, probably in its eyes, this was also a huge creature.But it didn't run away. Instead, it bowed its back and made a "purring" sound from its mouth.

When Chen Pingsheng saw this, he slowly backed away. When the wild cat stopped looking at him, he raised the camera and adjusted the aperture and focal length.

"Click." He lay on the ground, took a picture of the wild cat's profile, and then waited for it to finish eating and leave, taking pictures of its series of actions.

After the wild cat disappeared, Chen Pingsheng approached the rotting fish head, held his breath, and took a close-up photo of it.
