Chapter 112 Punching holes
Our actions had already attracted the attention of lazy people and others. The three of them jumped off the stones and looked in our eyes. At this time, Mr. Hu exclaimed and said, "Human-faced lotus, everyone retreat, stay away from it." After that, he made a gesture to us to follow him, and after a while, he moved away from the big stone.
I seem to have heard from Wei Nanjing that this thing was mentioned by Wei Nanjing before. When I first entered the industry, Wei Nanjing told me a lot of strange stories. It is said that the human face lotus is a flower that grows on human corpses. The stamens in the middle look like human faces and will emit a faint smell like a corpse smell. When we meet a living person, the human face flowers will move and spread a kind of pollen when they turn, which makes people fascinated. If they smell it too much, they can numb the brain and eventually cause people to die in shock. At this time, the human face lotus will live on the new dead body.
This kind of flower does not grow anywhere, and is relatively rare, and often appears in some evil places.
But, just now, there was no corpse under the stone?
When I thought of this, I hurriedly asked if Tofu was fine. He had been in contact with the human face lotus for the longest time, and I don’t know if he had been injured by pollen. Who knew that as soon as I asked, Tofu smiled, as if he was drunk, and his whole body was a little shaking. Fortunately, Mr. Hu was knowledgeable and said that he had probably inhaled some pollen. As soon as he could cure it, he twisted the person to the water and sobered up. Tofu was choked by cold water for a few times before he could recover his mind. I thought to myself that this kid was stupid enough and could not mess around anymore. He looked at the pack of wolves staring in the distance, and I signaled everyone to find a place to settle down according to the original plan.
This rest lasted for three or four days, so we naturally had to find a safe place. After walking for more than half an hour, we found a sunken mountain pass, and still sealed the vent with rain cloth. Everyone rested in this place. Since this place is not far from the stream, we can still go fishing in the water, so eating is not a problem.
The wolf pack became even more anxious. Seeing that we could not only create fearful sounds, but also the fire that made them fearful, the wolf howling sounds one after another, as if we knew that it was difficult for my mother to start, and the sound was filled with despair.
The big yellow duck looked at the wolves and said that these wolves were already hungry. If they could not eat our group, the wolves would probably starve to death. We all felt puzzled about why these wolves didn't leave this place to hunt, but they had no idea and could only stalemate.
At this time, Tofu suddenly pointed at the wolves and exclaimed, "Look, there are also little wolves." I looked in the direction of his finger and there were indeed a few half-year-old little cubs. Wolves in high-altitude areas usually mate in April and are two months pregnant, which means they are born around June. The little wolves usually take half a year to hunt with their parents. It is September now, and the group of wolf cubs are probably only three months old, skinny and dying, as if they will die at any time.
I frowned, and felt something was even more wrong in my heart.
Why not leave here?
They are all starving to death, why don’t you leave?
It's really strange.
At this time, Tofu suddenly came to the ears of the big yellow duck, and Jigujigu didn't know what to say. After a moment, the big yellow duck shook his head hard and said, "Don't do such a stupid thing." Tofu said angrily, "We have fishing lines, there are so many fish in the water, it's easy." I understand Tofu's personality, and I guess he wants to catch some fish to feed the wolf pack. We have to rest here for three or four days, and there is really nothing to do. Instead of being so careful of the wolf pack, it's better to try feeding it.
The ancestors were taming wolves into dogs, but this was actually the same way.
I took a gun and tofu to fish by the water. No one caught the fish in the water, so there were many fish, and the fish were fat and stupid. Unlike the fish raised in the lake in big cities, I guess I often saw similar people pulling out of the water after biting the bait. Therefore, those who have experience know that those fish are not easy to bite the hook.
I dug some earthworms with Tofu and fished almost without any effort. On average, there was a bite hook in two minutes. In half an hour, there were already fifteen big fish, each weighing four or five kilograms. We threw the fish towards the location where the wolves were.
The wolves were very cautious, all raised their hair and stared at the fish not far from them, but they did not move. I knew that the wolf was very vigilant, so I took the tofu back into the cave. After a moment, I heard a wolf howl from the outside. It was probably the wolf king who was giving orders. When we looked up, we saw that a group of wolves had already been huddled up and divided the fish.
Although there are many fish, for the entire wolf pack, it can only be considered a temporary suspension of famine. However, they are much calmer. The female wolf began to squat down to feed the little wolf. Seeing this, Tofu was very energetic and said to catch a little more and feed them. The big yellow duck immediately poured cold water on it and said to Tofu: "Wolfs are greedy. If they are used to finding food for them, they will always follow you and cannot be shaken off."
Tofu scratched his head and said, "Nonsense, the teacher told us during class that wolves are scavengers of the mountains and forests. They eat a large number of sick animals and corpses, which avoid the spread of large-scale diseases. Moreover, wolves are the ancestors of dogs. In addition to being good at holding grudges, they are also very grateful animals."
"Yeah." The big yellow duck sneered and said, "So you are not stupid. Did your teacher tell you when you were in class that our motherland is a garden?"
Tofu nodded.
The big yellow duck asked, "Where are we in the garden?" At this time, there was nothing to do except grinding the mouth. Tofu was hit and hurt. He went to bed and went to the side to fish. When fishing at dinner, we specially caught more than twenty, each of which was a big guy. It was estimated that there were thirteen wolves, and each one was left. This time, I guess they could eat enough. Sure enough, the wolves did not show any intention of attacking and no longer approached our camp. They were fed like this for three days. The snow melted, and the hiding animals also came out. One of the wolves with white hair in the middle, howled to our camp, and turned around and took the wolves away with dust.
Tofu looked at the big yellow duck proudly, with an expression that I was right. These three days also wiped out the fatigue we had accumulated before. Lazy guys are sleeping almost every day these days. It is a typical representative of lying down but not sitting, and not standing if they can sit. Tofu even secretly asked me if he is practicing magical skills such as sleeping arhats.
Now that the rain and snow have melted, we moved our muscles and bones, walked out of the cave, found a slightly higher terrain, led by Master Hu to see the soil marks of the mountains. Suddenly, his eyebrows trembled and pointed to a place on the top of the mountain to our left. There was a curved old maple in that place, and the leaves were already a little yellow.
Mr. Hu pointed to that direction and said in a positive tone: "There is something underneath, go and take a look."
I estimated the distance. The so-called running to the mountain is not long, but it takes more than an hour to go all the way. Fortunately, we survived the coldest time of the snow, and it is no longer so cold now. Except for the land that is too wet and not easy to walk, there is no other problem. After more than an hour, my mother arrived at the position that Master Hu pointed out.
To be honest, I don’t know how Mr. Hu saw it. At least in my eyes, there is nothing special about this place.
Mr. Hu didn't say much and signaled us to search the guys to work. Except for tofu now, the rest of us began to explore caves. Soon, the steel pipe was added from five meters to ten meters. I pulled out the shovel and opened the soil inside to look carefully. There was no sign of rammed earth, but the soil was a little black and there were broken wood residue inside. It smelled, in addition to the smell of earth, there was also a kind of copper ware. Some antiquities were buried underground all year round. After erosion, the color or smell of the surrounding soil would change. I carefully identified it and told everyone that there was something on the bottom, but the specific structure was still deeper.
We were encouraged by this and were full of energy. Soon, we used a scooter to touch the things under the soil. It was thirteen meters deep, covered a small area, and was vaguely in the shape of a tower, which surprised us.
Is the Bawo Pagoda we are looking for?
But how could the pagoda be buried in the soil? You know, it is a depth of thirteen meters. Unless there has been some major geological disaster, it is impossible to bury the pagoda so deep.
Furthermore, although this is a tower shape, according to the results of the shovel we just pulled down, the upper half of the tower has disappeared, and may have been broken, melted, or rotten. What we just discovered was the lower half of the tower. When the shovel was hit, it felt like it was hitting the stone. Therefore, we made a preliminary inference: half of the tower body was damaged, and the bottom material was mostly stone, so the structure was still complete. We can make a straight hole and take a look.
This did not hurt us. After eating some food and drinking some water, we swung the shovel to dig holes. We were all veterans and we were unambiguous in our work. Although not long after, we became mud-covered mice. Tofu was anxious while working. He couldn't understand what we said, nor did he know what we were doing. He just watched us make a straight hole with admiration.
More than two hours later, the lazy guy's shovel made a slash. He wiped the mud on his face and said lightly, "It's clear."
