Chapter 127 125: The mandarin ducks embrace each other and are still frozen
Li Guanping was hung from a tree in a dilemma. Many times he wanted to jump directly and forget it, but his fear of heights was so severe that he didn't dare to see what was going on below.
Seeing that he was frozen on the tree for a long time, and finally froze, he fell into a daze, and began to hear Wang Tianxiao calling, but he refused to answer because it was a hallucination.
I heard it repeatedly later, and then I opened my mouth to echo.
Wang Tian found him only by obeying his voice, and saved him.
Wang Tianxiao was both relieved and anxious after hearing what his second brother-in-law had said.
It is gratifying that Li Guanping has been rescued, and at least his younger brother and Mi Xiaoqing did not fall too badly, because they can still walk.
But after thinking about it, if this is the case, they should have returned to the station, why did they disappear for so long, and where did they go?
This location is actually only one or two miles away from the station. If you walk normally, it takes only ten or twenty minutes. Even if it is a valley, it takes less than an hour to climb to the mountainside.
But according to Li Guanping's information, those two disappeared for more than four hours.
With this time, it is enough to come here for two or three round trips, not to mention walking, but climbing back.
It can only be said that something else happened to them on the way back. Totally unexpected and blocked the thought of their return.
Will it be dangerous?
Wang Tianxiao looked at the mountain under the moonlight, his brows were furrowed with anxiety.
Still too sloppy.
He only felt that the risk of the mountains in Yangziling was already very small, especially during the daytime, when there was basically no real danger, so he let the three recruits go together, thinking that the three of them could at least help each other, What's more, with a dog...
By the way, there is also Dahei!
Wang Tianxiao suddenly thought that his Dahei was gone too.
"Guanping, where is Dahei?"
"Big black?"
"It's the dog you brought with you."
"Oh, I don't...know, I was walking behind, and when I came...they had already slipped...down, I was very...anxious, so I didn't...notice the dog."
Wang Tianxiao's anxiety in his heart suddenly deepened. If it is a human being, there is still a reason, but why are all the dogs gone?
Dahei often runs in the mountains and is very familiar with the mountains. He is so smart that he should never forget the way he has walked once. If he is still there, he will definitely return to the station to call for help.
But apparently, it didn't come back either.
That means it has fallen into a situation where it cannot return.
Then the problem becomes quite serious. There are only two reasons why the dog does not come back to call people. Either it has been injured or even died and cannot return, and the other is that it cannot leave and stay to protect the owner.
Either way, it shows that they are already on the verge of danger.
"Can I still go?" Wang Tianxiao asked Li Guanping.
Li Guanping stomped his feet, rubbed his face that was numb from the cold, and nodded.
"Much better, brother-in-law."
"Okay, you follow me, let's find some of them."
"Okay, brother-in-law."
Wang Tianxiao squatted down and looked carefully at the traces on the ground. Sure enough, he saw Mi Xiaoqing's footprints, but strangely, he didn't see Gale's footprints.
Because it is a valley, backed by the sun, and in the shade of the mountain, the snow on the mountain wall has not melted completely, so Wang Tiancheng and Mi Xiaoqing left clear footprints.
Not far below, there are relatively messy traces. It is estimated that they came down from this place.
Then…
Wang Tianxiao suddenly had one head and two big ones.
These two idiots!
He couldn't help complaining and cursed secretly.
This is the wrong way, my God!
Chang stood to the north of where they were standing, but looking at the direction in which their footprints extended, they turned out to be heading south.
This is too outrageous.
If they go straight from the south, they will go to the next town without any accidents. Perhaps they will only find out that they have gone wrong when they find another village or the main road.
But there is another possibility. They lost their way in the winding mountain, and they might turn to the west. In that case, they might cross the east peak of Yangziling to the west peak...
That's really dangerous.
Even Wang Tianxiao himself couldn’t pass the West Half Peak of Yangziling at night. The last time he came back from the station, he only passed the periphery of Meng Bafeng, and encountered a small pack of wolves. He was carrying a gun at the time, and there were three dogs beside him, and he was lucky enough to win in the end.
But Wang Tiancheng and Mi Xiaoqing have no hunting experience, and the old-fashioned gun in their hands is only powerful for one shot because the gunpowder is not convenient to carry.
Once you encounter those things, there is basically no possibility of defeating them.
"Brother-in-law?"
"Follow me closely, the two of them are going the wrong way, and I still don't know where they are going."
Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly.
Li Guanping was inexperienced at first, and was hung on a tree to freeze for a long time. Although he got down now, he still had a lot of snot and tears, and his mind was in a daze.
There was a clue here, Wang Tianxiao shouted a few more times to Ah Ying, and asked Ah Ying to wait on it when he got down just now.
Aying rushed down from the hillside quickly.
The **** of the hillside is a bit troublesome for humans, but the dog is walking on flat ground. Even on the edge of the steeper half cliff, it only hesitated for a moment, and rushed to Wang Tianxiao's side at lightning speed.
"Aying, it's up to you whether you can find someone."
He asked Ah Ying to sniff hard nearby. Ah Ying was a little confused at first, but soon found a familiar smell from the messy smell, and began to lower her head while sniffing forward.
"Go, keep up."
Wang Tianxiao greeted Li Guanping, he could actually find clues slowly through footprints and traces, but since Ah Ying was there, this effort was saved.
Tiancheng and Aying spent a lot of time together, and even took care of the food for Aying's dogs when Wang Tianxiao was accompanying him in the hospital, so Aying was very familiar with his smell.
Moreover, Wang Tianxiao guessed that Ah Ying might also smell Dahei.
No matter what the reason is, judging by its appearance, it must have found a clue.
Moonlight shrouded the mountain, and from time to time there was the shrill cry of night owls. From time to time, a few pairs of shining eyes could be seen on the mountain ridge not far away. I don’t know what kind of nocturnal animal it is.
Wang Tianxiao turned his head to look at Li Guanping, worried that he might be afraid.
Although he is eighteen years old, in Wang Tianxiao's eyes, he is still a child.
People in later generations are slightly more tolerant of children's age. They are often twenty years old, and they are still treated as children in the eyes of their parents.
Some people are even in their thirties, and they still live with their parents as long as they haven’t married yet.
Basically the same as when I was a child.
If you don’t start a family, you won’t grow up.
But in this day and age, people are generally precocious, often at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and many people will drop out of school to take on family responsibilities.
He is still a child in terms of age, but in terms of identity, he is no longer in the category of children.
Wang Tianxiao was worried that Li Guanping would be frightened, but his brother-in-law's face was very peaceful, like a piece of tight porcelain, without any wrinkles or ripples.
"Brother-in-law?" Li Guanping noticed Wang Tianxiao's gaze.
"Guan Ping, are you afraid?"
Li Guanping shook his head, "Not afraid."
"That's good," Wang Tianxiao turned around, trying to make the atmosphere milder, "Life in the mountains is like this, just get used to it slowly."
"I know, let's go quickly... Hurry up, brother-in-law," Li Guanping said calmly, "Tiancheng and Mi Xiaoqing must...wait somewhere... let's go."
Li Guanping mentioned that Wang Tiancheng directly referred to Tiancheng, while Mi Xiaoqing added a surname. It seems that he really doesn't have much interest in that girl.
This made Wang Tianxiao not know how to complain.
Judging from Li Guanping's final choice in his previous life, he doesn't seem too wise in his vision of women.
The wife he found almost laid the foundation for his life's hard work.
He didn't speak any more, and walked faster under the moonlight.
With the investigation of Ah Ying, an old dog in the mountains, the speed of the search team was not slow, and they walked a mile or two without knowing it.
Wang Tianxiao was worried that Li Guanping would be cold, but as he was walking, he realized that he was the one who felt the cold.
But there is no other way, just rely on shivering to keep warm.
At this moment, Ah Ying, who lowered her head and searched slowly, suddenly quickened her pace and ran forward quickly.
Wang Tianxiao and Li Guanping hurriedly quickened their pace and followed closely behind.
Soon, in a sunken cave tens of meters away, they found the unconscious Wang Tiancheng and the dull-looking Mi Xiaoqing.
Wang Tianxiao exclaimed: "Tiancheng!"
Three steps and two steps, hurried to the entrance of the cave.
This is a small natural hole, or in other words, it is not a cave, at most it is just a recessed wall pit.
There is just room for two people inside.
Wang Tiancheng sat with his back against the cliff inside, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and he remained motionless.
And Mi Xiaoqing lay on top of him, using her back to help him block the cold air outside, making him a little warmer.
Wang Tianxiao noticed that the blood on Wang Tiancheng's leg had leaked out of his pants, and was frozen into black clots. The blood also stained Mi Xiaoqing's clothes red. He wondered if she was injured.
Did not see Dahei's shadow.
"Xiaoqing, Mi Xiaoqing!"
Wang Tianxiao shook Mi Xiaoqing lightly, and Mi Xiaoqing's body swayed side to side as he swayed. She seemed to be about to open her eyes, but she struggled a few times, but she didn't.
"Brother-in-law, they are..."
"They're freezing."
Wang Tianxiao said in a deep voice, pulled the old rustic gun thrown aside, shook it, found that the gunpowder was still inside, looked around, and said to Li Guanping: "Guanping, go and put the bark of that birch tree and Get the branches over here."
"Okay."
Li Guanping hurriedly ran not far away.
Birch bark is a very easy to ignite material, and it is often used by nearby people to light stoves.
Li Guanping had a lot of strength. He walked around the branch left and right, found an opening, pulled it along hard, and immediately tore off a piece of bark the size of a book. He continued to tear it a few times, and a small pile of birch bark appear in hand.
First ran over and put the bark at the entrance of the hole, and then quickly ran to pick up the branches.
Wang Tianxiao gathered a tuft of fine hay nearby when Li Guanping was busy, took it and placed it underneath, and put the birch bark on top.
Find two more flaky stones, and pour the gunpowder from the soil gun onto the stones.
After Li Guanping brought the branches over, he stood up and stood beside him, and slammed the stone with the **** of his gun. The stone made a loud noise instantly, and a lot of sparks shot out, all of which were sprayed on the dry grass.
Wang Tianxiao squatted down in a hurry, and blew on Mars.
Seeing that the sparks are slowly getting bigger, the gray grass turns red piece by piece, and then burns with a "huh".
