1106. Chapter 1106 Dangerous Waters
Wushuang stood up, moved his muscles and bones, shook his head and instructed Duan Zirui: "Zirui, take good care of Caidie for me, don't forget to make a bowl of hot porridge for our aunt and grandmother to drink, if I come back in the evening, my aunt and grandmother will ask for you." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Ah, master, you don't want me with you?"
"Well, your body has not healed, this trip is a bit far, can you rest for a day first, don't worry, I will be fine, let's go home immediately after everything is done?" Wushuang comforted her.
"And what about when you go home?" Lan Caidie blinked at Wushuang with big watery eyes, waiting for Wushuang to give her a promise.
"When I get home, I will take you to the old lady and say, okay?"
"Say what?"
Wushuang looked left and right, and then whispered in her ear: "Talk about our marriage!"
"Hmph! This is pretty much the same, even if you have a conscience, be careful on the road, try to stay away from the water's edge, I brought you some dry food from Lijiapo, eat it on the way when you are hungry, I know you are not used to eating fish." ”
"It's still my family Caidie who knows how to hurt people the most, be good, wait for me to come back!" These two people ignored everyone's embarrassed gazes and showed their affection to their heart's content.
"Little one, are you going with me?" said Na Xiu smiled and touched the kitten's chin, and the little kitten seemed to understand his words, and swooped down on Na Xiu's shoulder, squatting on his shoulder like a former sunspot.
Wushuang smiled and said, "It has a fate with you, take it with you." ”
The sun outside came out, shining red on the bank of the Yellow River, and the two good brothers Wushuang and Na Xi embarked on a new journey again. Their destination is the root of the Yellow River, Tiandu Peak!
Although the scenery along the way is not as beautiful as the prairie and the south of the Yangtze River, the turbid water of the Yellow River accompanied by the undulating loess plateau on both sides of the river is also unique. There is a companion on the road is not lonely, and this time there is not only one more companion, it is two, the little black cat is only two months old, naughty, jumping left and right, constantly catching small insects in the wild grass, it is also very conscious, as long as the owner goes away, he quickly catches up and jumps on the shoulders of the master, for fear that he will not want it.
At first, you could occasionally see one or two villagers grazing sheep on both sides of the river basin, and the villagers were surprised to see two children from other places walking under the river embankment, and some kindly reminded them that this water area was not safe and should leave quickly.
By nine o'clock in the morning, the nearby terrain had gradually risen, and the loess slopes on the left and right had disappeared, and there were barren grass and dead trees everywhere on both sides, and the barren grass was no longer than the knees. And this tributary is getting narrower and narrower, and when the muddy yellow water flows, you will sometimes see small whirlpools float up, and then bubble up and disappear again.
Wushuang walked and walked, and suddenly his feet seemed to step on something hard.
"What is this for?" he took a closer look at the wild grass, and ouch, it was a pile of white bones, but this pile of white bones was not human, but a buffalo's, and it could be seen from the bones of this buffalo that it was a wild buffalo.
Half of the buffalo's carcass was already showing white bones, and the other half was beginning to rot due to the heat, and a goshawk had landed on top of it, and there were dense maggots gnawing back and forth inside, which was a disgusting sight.
"The wild buffalo has a fierce temperament, and even wild wolves and leopards dare not attack it easily, what is it that kills it?" said Na Xi, crouching down to take a closer look at its corpse.
"It's not about who killed it, it's about the row of gums, and look, the flesh on its back thighs was obviously gnawed by predators, and the gums are still on it. Wushuang said with one hand covering his nose and pointing at the buffalo carcass.
It was evident that the buffalo was a fierce hunter, and from the buffalo's bone-barred hind legs, it had very sharp teeth, and the teeth were very dense, like hacksaws. The gums were lined up one after the other, not left by one predator, but several at the same time.
At this time, the two of them vaguely heard the sound of some kind of animal swimming under the shallow flow of the Yellow River behind them...... Boom, more than one, probably at least ten. The little black cat was very alert, and had jumped off its shoulder and whined at the water.
"Hey, let's go!" Wushuang didn't want to waste any more time here. Na Xi summoned back the black cat, and hurried to keep up with Wushuang.
The further they walked, the more animal carcasses appeared in the grass, in front of them was a relatively open loess high slope, and below was the turbulent Yellow River water, the two stood on the loess high slope, turned their heads to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp, it turned out that they were walking on a path made of white bones. The shore is densely packed with the bones of countless animals, some large, some small, and even many nationally protected animals.
"Grandma's, no wonder Lao Dutou is reluctant to go to Tiandu Peak, this is the road of death!" It's hard to imagine that these large animals, which are usually difficult to kill with a gun, were bitten to death by something?
"Shuangye, look over there. "The two of them are now almost standing at the highest point of the nearby water, which has a relatively open view, and the distance of thousands of meters of water on both sides can be seen.
About 500 meters away from them, on the edge of the river, a wild duck was landing on the water, enjoying it comfortably. If you look closely, there seems to be a dark shadow approaching under the water behind it. Wushuang took a closer look, but no, the black shadow seemed to be the size of an adult, and it was quietly approaching the wild duck, waiting for the opportunity.
There was a bang...... Quack Quack ...... The pheasant screamed in fright. But it only screamed twice, and then it was quickly dragged under the water by the black shadow, and finally, the water turned blood red. A duck feather floated on the water.
"I'm ...... There are water monkeys in the Yellow River?"
According to legend, the water monkey is the drowning child who is angry and becomes, that thing is infinitely powerful underwater, can not come out for a day and a night to breathe, it does not eat fish, only eats land creatures, it is not like a water ghost to drag people down to find a stand-in, it is a real cannibalism!
"Fortunately, we didn't take a boat down, this old Du Tou, I don't know the situation upstream at all, so I give us a blind command, if we take a boat down the river, it is estimated that neither of us will be able to get here alive." "Wushuang is terrifying to watch.
"If only the water monkeys are the ones under this water, it's better to say, after all, it's a living thing, and a living creature has a way to cure it! I'm afraid that there are other dangers hidden down here, Shuangye, we have to keep our glasses open, but don't steal chickens and rice." ”
