Chapter 100 A Chinese Saved Tokyo
Butcher Zhang and I looked at each other nervously, and both pulled out the knife in unison, and then carefully moved back along the rope. We felt that the rope in our hands was loosening and tightening, and something must have moved the end. If so,
The rope had been moved, and it would be more difficult for us to get back to the original place, so we quickly walked back along the rope, our hearts beating nervously as we walked.
After all, the distance was only more than ten meters. When we turned the last corner, we were a little shocked by the scene in front of us: a pangolin as big as half a cow was devouring our rope! And there were seven or eight others surrounding it.
And they are all about the same size. This scene is indeed a bit shocking.
But fortunately, although the pangolins here are big, we know that they are generally not aggressive towards people.
"It's weird, don't pangolins eat ants, bugs and the like? How can they eat ropes?" Butcher Zhang looked at me and asked. In fact, I had the same question. Yes, I have never heard of pangolins eating ropes.
I accidentally took a strong flashlight and shined a light on the pangolin that was swallowing the rope, and suddenly I found that its eyes were very different from those of ordinary pangolins - the eyes of ordinary pangolins are on both sides of the head, and are very small.
Its eyes are as big as a bull's eye and are concentrated in the center of its head!
I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Uncle Zhang, is this a pangolin? Look at its eyes, they are so different from ordinary pangolins."
After I reminded him, Butcher Zhang quickly used the flashlight in his hand to shine on the pangolin's head and took a closer look: "It's different. It's too scary. This eye is a bit like a bull's eye." After he finished speaking, he used
I shined my flashlight on the seven or eight animals surrounding it. They all had the same eyes as this one!
In the short time we were talking, the pangolin was already eating along the rope and crawling towards us. To it, the rope seemed to be the most delicious food, and it did not completely stop eating it.
, but while eating it, crawling along the rope. It suddenly occurred to me that this would have a serious consequence - if someone, like the two of us, used this method of laying out the line to go in, then the mark they used as a sign would
The rope will be eaten by these pangolins, and they will be completely lost in this terrible "maze", or even be trapped and die in it.
In order to confirm my conjecture, I took out a linen towel from my bag. This kind of towel is woven with relatively thick cotton thread. It is soft and sweat-absorbent and very comfortable to use, so I will carry it every summer.
This kind of towel is used to wipe sweat. I used a knife to separate the thread ends of the towel, then pulled out a long piece of thread and threw it on the ground in the cave. As I expected, these pangolins immediately rushed up to lick it.
Eat this line.
The eyes of these pangolins can actually see such thin lines on the ground in such dim light. This is something that ordinary pangolins cannot do. No wonder their eyes are so unusual.
But why do these pangolins like to eat thread-like objects so much? This is unknown. Some animals are so wonderful that it is often difficult for people to understand what the world is like in their sensory world. Cats, for example, have the best sense of taste.
It is impossible to feel the sweetness, which means that no matter how delicious the chocolate is, it cannot be tasted by cats.
The rope has been completely eaten by the pangolin. Although we know that pangolins generally do not attack people, because these pangolins are very different and are so big, when they approach us, we still feel very scared, and,
The rope had been swallowed up. Faced with this situation, we could not continue walking inside, so we had to retreat angrily.
When we were approaching the entrance of the cave, we put on sunglasses because after staying in a dark environment for a long time, our eyes would still be hurt if we faced the strong light outside and did not take necessary protective measures. From these details,
It can also be seen that we made adequate preparations for this cave exploration, but unexpectedly, it still failed to fully meet expectations. Fortunately, it was somewhat rewarding and the trip was not in vain. Just hundreds of photos were taken.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but luckily it was windy and the altitude was very high, so it wasn't too hot. We quickly packed up our tents and other items and prepared to return.
Just as I was immersed in sorting things, I suddenly heard Butcher Zhang whispering in my ear in an extremely frightened voice: "Xiao Ming, what kind of monster is that at the entrance of the cave?" Maybe because of excessive nervousness and shock, he
His voice was a little trembling.
After hearing what he said, I quickly looked towards the entrance of the cave. From a distance of fifty or sixty meters, in such a bright day, I could clearly see the entrance of the cave. There was a "monster" looking towards us. That "monster"
"The face looks like a sheep at first glance, but the shape of the head is like a human, and the exposed "arms" are also weird. It looks like a leg of lamb but not a leg of lamb. It can be said that it is an arm.
It doesn't look like it. I was so scared that I almost peed. It was the first time I saw this kind of monster in broad daylight. When I calmed down a little, I picked up the camera and prepared to take a picture of the monster, but I didn't expect it.
Suddenly he retreated into the cave.
Only then did I notice that the terrible smell I smelled last night was also permeating the air just now, but I was just too nervous and scared to feel it. However, the smell emitted by this monster during the day was weaker than at night.
Much.
I looked back at Butcher Zhang, and he was also pale. We both wanted to escape from this hellish place quickly, but we only felt that our whole bodies were sore and limp, we had no strength at all, and our limbs were a little uncontrollable. We had to sit on the ground, and our minds were a little numb.
After a while, I gradually recovered. Strangely enough, seeing this kind of monster during the day was much scarier than at night. Maybe it’s because I can’t see it so clearly at night.
When we arrived home exhausted when it was dark, I didn't even eat dinner. After a few manageable words with my parents, I went back to my room, put my bag on the ground casually, and locked it from the inside.
He came to the door, didn't even take off his shoes, fell on the bed, and fell asleep.
I slept until about eight o'clock the next day, then I quickly got up to wash up and prepare to go to work. Then I felt severe pain all over my body. Everything I experienced yesterday was like a dream.
In the next few days, I think Sister Li talked about this adventure experience in detail. Of course, the most exciting and climax part of this adventure was seeing the "monster" with our own eyes. Both Sister Li and I felt that this
Could the monster that looks a bit like a sheep be related to the strange sheep we have come across before that were related to Blind Man Gao? In addition, the three bandit families also produced strange sheep, which could be related to the monster we saw.
Really? Also, is the monster we saw the same one that attacked the Japanese?
A series of questions followed one after another.
But the good news came later - Yang Hui is indeed a graduate of a prestigious university in the United States. As expected, he found this video material in Japan through various channels. It turned out that he had a Japanese student who studied microbiology with him. Later, this student,
Becoming a famous scholar in related fields in Japan, one of the areas studied by this student is Japan's germ warfare in China, which includes the types of bacteria and viruses released, and the actual killing efficacy produced by these. So he has a lot in his hands
The image data taken by Japan in China, and this image data in our village, are included among them - although this data is not directly related to germ warfare.
However, Yang Hui also praised the Japanese a few times in the email, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, but if I think about it carefully, what he said is not unreasonable.
Yang Hui said in the email that he had to admit that the Japanese are indeed very serious about preserving historical data and cultural relics. This is also the reason why the image data was finally preserved despite so many years.
Chen Shunchen, a Chinese writer living in Japan, once said, "The Japanese are preservation experts, and the Chinese are catalog experts." The writer Lao She said to the Japanese that Chinese beggars would rather break them until they die than leave their ancestral treasures to others for safekeeping.
.And some Japanese generals are willing to hand over cultural relics to the enemy for safekeeping.
The Japanese invaders also issued notices in places such as the Forbidden City in Beijing, Handan in Hebei, and the Datong Grottoes in Shanxi, stating that "any damage to cultural relics and historic sites will be severely punished." When the Japanese invaded Qufu, Shandong, the hometown of Confucius, Professor Takada Shinji of the University of Tokyo,
A letter was sent to the Japanese Military Headquarters: "If the Shandong War destroys the historical sites in Qufu, Japan will bear the responsibility for destroying the world's cultural heritage." The military headquarters then urgently ordered the frontline troops to avoid fighting in Qufu. After the Japanese army entered Qufu, they sent troops to guard the Confucius Temple and the generals paid homage.
.For more than 2,000 years, the Qufu Confucius Temple has rarely been damaged, even by invaders. However, it was severely destroyed during the "Cultural Revolution".
After reading this email, Sister Li replied to Yang Hui half-jokingly and half-seriously: In fact, we Chinese scholars also have a strong awareness of cultural protection. I think back then, the two atomic bombs in the United States were originally planned to be dropped on Tokyo and famous historical cities in Japan.
Liang Sicheng, who was in Kyoto and later in the United States, wrote to the U.S. Department of War saying that Tokyo and Kyoto are both famous cultural cities. If atomic bombs are dropped in these two places, the historical and cultural monuments there will be destroyed. This is a common problem for mankind.
The cultural heritage of Japan not only belongs to Japan, but the U.S. Military Operations Department attaches great importance to Liang Sicheng's letter, and because of this letter, it finally gave up the plan to bomb Tokyo and Kyoto with atomic bombs. Therefore, the Japanese should be infinitely grateful to Liang Sicheng.
After reading Sister Li's email, I joked: "Hey, how come your family members are so knowledgeable and love to get into trouble, haha."
Sister Li looked at me tenderly and lovingly, then pinched my face and said, "No way, it's all the power of genes, baby." Then she continued to talk about the topic: "Actually, my cousin's Japanese student,
When he saw this video material for the first time, he was extremely shocked. He initially suspected that it could not be real, but must have been forged by someone, because the content inside was so amazing! So, he called in relevant experts, including imaging experts, historians
Experts, physics experts, and even magicians have evaluated this video, and after comprehensive evaluation, this video is indeed the image data shot at that time."
It is really convenient now that we have the Internet - Yang Hui, who is far away in the United States, easily converted this video into video material through the Internet and sent it to us through the mailbox.
However, because she was worried that the content in it was too scary, Sister Li did not dare to watch it alone. She originally wanted to watch it with me, but she did not expect that after her cousin heard about it, he also insisted on watching it together. Sister Li was worried at first whether he could bear it.
But after thinking about it, I feel that my cousin has much more life experience than us, and his psychological resistance must be stronger than us young people. Besides, judging from my cousin’s very insistent demands, we both know that Cousin’s
