Savage Secret

() Shennongjia

Since ancient times, ethnic minorities have had their own rules, and the affairs of the family have been resolved in their own way. Even what the emperor said was a fart, and no one listened to it at all.As outsiders, although we feel that what happened to the Tujia people is very strange, it is inconvenient to say more.On the afternoon after Luo Yu left, several Tujia youths took Tian Hao back. Although Fengling's sister-in-law Tian Zhenhui was willing to take care of Tian Hao, the visitor insisted that it was inconvenient, and Tian Zhenhui didn't say anything more. What.

The two savages are dead, we should go our own way, but because of my head injury, I stayed at Fengling's house for an extra day.Before leaving the next day, Fengling suddenly ran up to me, hoping that I would bring something to her cousin who lived in Dalongtan in Shennongjia. Although I didn't even know where Dalongtan was, we stopped at Fengling's house. After so many days and causing her so much trouble, seeing her face full of anticipation, I agreed without even thinking about it!

After three or four days of delay at the foot of the mountain, we finally entered Shennongjia and officially embarked on our journey to find Shennong Cave.

The plants in Shennongjia are distributed vertically. As the altitude rises, the species distribution gradually changes. Below the altitude of 800 meters, it is basically a dense broad-leaved forest. Above 3000 meters above sea level, it is a cold-resistant coniferous forest. zone.Because it is located in the northern subtropical monsoon region of mid-latitudes, the temperature is cooler and rainy, and the annual rainfall can reach about [-] millimeters. Water is the source of life. With sufficient precipitation, the survival of species is guaranteed.The torrent formed by the rainwater rushes out countless deep gullies and dangerous gullies on the mountain, and cuts out solitary peaks, which makes people daunted, and provides a natural refuge for the animals living here, thus ensuring The diversity of life here.

Walking into this natural zoo and botanical garden, listening to the occasional chirp or two in the distance, looking at various wild mice hiding in the grass, breathing the fresh air in the mountains and forests, and watching the relationship between animals and nature. Don't feel a little emotional about living in harmony with each other.This feeling can never be experienced in other places. Only when the body and mind are fully integrated here, can you appreciate the beauty of it and understand the ingenuity of the ancient saying "travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books!" place.

However, our small team did not come to visit the mountains and rivers after all, so we are far from realizing the beauty of Shennongjia.On the way, I was thinking about all the inexplicable things that happened in Yuandong Bay, the mysterious bone flute, the wild people’s violent reaction after hearing the bone flute, the back arrow shot at me, Zhiji Tima’s bizarre death, everything was revealed Weird, it worries me.I suddenly felt that our road ahead might be very dangerous, but this was just a hunch, and there was no evidence at all, so I couldn't say it.

The only rugged path under his feet was getting steeper and narrower, and gradually no human footprints could be seen. If he continued to walk, he would pass through the dense forest. At this time, it was almost noon, and Li Yongsheng It is suggested that everyone take a rest on the spot, eat something before leaving.

We sat down in an open space, ate Fengling and her sister-in-law Tian Zhenhui prepared chicken, shochu, fried cakes, fragrant cakes and other things for us. Looking at the map, we wanted to find a way that would take us to Shennong Cave as soon as possible. There are probably two more hills to climb, and another canyon to cross. The distance seems to be very long, but when I think of the tons of gold, silver and jewels in Shennong Cave, I feel excited again.

Lao Niu has been grinning from ear to ear since he took the [-] big cap. Now everyone stops, and when he is eating, he is looking at the distance, looking like he has never seen the world. like a bumpkin.

I shook my head and said to him: "Lao Niu, I am not talking about you. You are such an adult, why are you still acting like a child? You want to play with the gun when you get it. This is not the water gun you played with when you were young. Haw press it twice. , hit someone with water on their face, you just smile, and they just wipe off their sleeves and it’s over. This thing can kill people. Although we are on the mountain, theoretically it won’t hurt people, but it hurts the little ones in the mountains. Animals, even flowers and plants are not good, stop playing, hurry up and eat something, we have to hurry later!"

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a gunshot above my head, and this bastard shot suddenly on top of my head, so scared that the chicken leg in my hand almost fell to the ground, and I immediately cursed: "Old cow, you bastard!" What is the turtle son doing?"

If it was before, the old cow must have laughed, but now, he is staring at the distance with strange eyes: "Look, what is that?"

In the bushes three feet away, a fluffy face was staring at us with its bright black eyes. It looked like a little bobcat or a little leopard.At such a short distance, even a person who has never used a gun before should not miss it. It is unreasonable that the old cow didn't knock it over. I don't know if this kid has temporary hand cramps.Thinking of him shooting on top of my head just now, I cursed at him angrily: "Old cow, you can't hit me at such a short distance, you are so fucking stupid!"

The old cow shook his head: "Tie Yan, don't you still believe in my marksmanship? I definitely hit it, it's because that thing is weird!"

Seeing that the old cow refused to admit it, Tian Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Niu, I think you still surrendered, you missed it, who didn't! It's not something to be ashamed of, why bother to be so serious!"

The old cow didn't speak, and walked towards the wild lynx cautiously with his gun raised, his nervous look seemed to be facing a big enemy.Lao Niu has a bad temper, and he belongs to the kind who dares to think and rush. Few things can make him so careful like today.Thinking about it carefully, he didn't miss a 200-meter target in the Tujia village two days ago, and today he couldn't even hit a small bobcat more than ten meters away, which is too abnormal.

Furthermore, the danger awareness of running away when frightened is the most basic survival and reproduction skill of animals, but this lynx did not respond when it heard the old cow's gunshots.With the cunning of the bobcats, they would not have made such a bold move except for being hungry and crazy.Shennongjia is rich in animal and plant resources. Bobcats are never short of food. Along the way, we don’t know what bobcats like to eat, such as giant forest rat, alpine rat, Mus musculus, white-bellied giant rat, and yellow-breasted rat. How much, this lynx has absolutely no reason to be hungry and crazy, but it has no intention of running away, and just stays there obediently. Could it be that it has cultivated into a jing in the mountains, to the point where it is not afraid of people or bullets?

The bush where the lynx lies is slightly lower than the terrain under our feet. The branches and scattered leaves of several towering giant trees around the bush have withered marks, and they look half dead, as if they have no nutrients for it. The look of the supply.Where did the nutrients in the ground go? Is there a more dense and developed root system that snatched them away?

We haven’t figured out one problem yet, but another problem that makes us even more dizzy looms in front of us: In the bushes with a radius of two feet, there are more than a dozen bobcats that are more than two feet long standing or lying down. , many corpses of people and animals were poured down. The bodies of the dead were dark and dry, and their facial expressions and bodies were extremely distorted. They must have struggled in pain before they were alive. This place exudes the lust of death like a natural burial pit. The cold breath, even though it is broad daylight, I also feel creepy.
