Chapter 7 Chapter VII

(...I am still puzzled about the camera lighting that night. It may be that my uncle has some special function, or he is nervous and emits some kind of magnetic force that affects the camera. It is hard to believe, but that It is indeed so late.) The bizarre kinship recognition and self-rescue plan made me somewhat frivolous. We agreed to bid farewell to Director Shi De and the Giant Panda Protection and Breeding Base at dawn.However, Expert Huang, who laughed and cried all night, was completely crazy. He took off his pants again in the second half of the night, and even put his genitals between his legs and said that he was a female, a female giant panda, and he was going to give birth to a cub. Then, he ran back to his room, smashed the kettle, mirror, ashtray, glass tea table and a frame of awards hanging on the wall, and tore up all the books on giant panda research that had been written for more than ten years. Still soaked in water, put it in the stone mortar of the glutinous rice cake and smash it with a wooden mallet.Everyone at the base went to persuade him, and he scolded everyone he saw, and even scratched Director Shi De's face. Director Shi De had no choice but to order him to be tied up with a rope to calm him down.He was tied to the plank bed, still struggling violently, and the rope strangled bloody scars on his wrists, ankles, and ankles.Director Shi De untied the rope again, tore the sheets into strands to tie his limbs, closed his eyes and slapped him on the chin, knocked him unconscious, and carried him to Zhoucheng Hospital. go to therapy.This is how the people in the mountainous area tie the fed pigs to the bed boards and carry them to the towns down the mountain for sale. However, selling pigs is a happy event, with drinking and firecrackers.There are no giant pandas in the base, and the tasks assigned to them by the government have not been completed. All experts need to return to the state city to report to the commissioner, and the commissioner and the government will definitely blame them.In order to fully prove their high level of science and technology and their serious and meticulous work, Director Shi De begged me to go down the mountain together, because I have a video tape of the entire production process of giant pandas, which can prove and intercede for them.This involved the interests of dozens of people, so I had no choice but to agree, and of course my uncle followed me, so we hired the strong and strong laborers of nine households of mountain people to carry Mr. Huang down the mountain with his bed.

A trifoliate tree is planted on the roadside outside the compound of the base. The trifoliate tree is the kind that can bear oranges in the south, but in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, it has extremely small leaves, full of hard thorns like awls, and sparse and inedible thorns hanging from them. But the fruit that can be used as medicine.The hovenia foliage was planted by the roadside to protect the courtyard walls of the base, but now it was pulling pinches of ash fluff, and there was a streak of white feces spraying more than three feet long.I picked up a handful of plush, and remembered a song, which is the promise of debtors to debt collectors: plant jujube thorns on the side of the road, plant jujube thorns, hang wool, hang wool, weave wool, and sell it in Xinjiang Money, I will give you back the money after selling it.But the uncle said that it was not wool, it was left by the wolves when they migrated last night. The uncle also said that when he came out with a gun, three wolves were passing by the wall of the courtyard, each with a handful of wild flowers in their mouths. They were placed at the base of the courtyard wall in order, and one of them got through the hovenia foliage and lay on the top of the courtyard wall to look into the courtyard. It was fat and tried to lie there, while watching it, it was still squeaking, and he yelled. , the wolf fell from the wall.

"I didn't shoot," the uncle said. "The wolf fell down and limped. I thought it was hurt. After a moment's hesitation, it ran away. It thought it was running away quickly, but in fact I wanted to hit it sooner." I fired it, but the expert Huang in the yard was yelling crazily, and I would scare him even more if I shot again..." "The wolf must know that the giant panda is dead..." I muttered.My uncle said that wolves migrate, and wolves migrate as soon as the giant panda dies.Did the wolf put wild flowers and lie on the wall to mourn for the giant panda, or did he want to see how pitiful these experts were when he finally left?When the experts heard what I said, they all turned their faces, as if they were about to say something, but in the end they didn't say anything, and Director Shi De suddenly yelled violently: "Wolf, wolf!"

When it comes to tortoises, snakes come. The mountains are often so magical. Sure enough, at the bend of the hundreds of meters long courtyard wall, a man is bent over and carrying a wooden plank, and a wolf is lying on the wooden plank.This is the first time I really saw a living wolf. It was covered with gray spots, and its two front paws protruded from the two holes in the plank, and it was tightly grasped by the people under the plank, and its hind legs were stretched. After coming down, it followed the people forward, and there was still a pig, a fat little pig, running closely behind.

Seeing what I said, my uncle deliberately ignored me, bent down to tie his shoelaces, and suddenly heard Shi De yelling a wolf, and he jumped up from the squatting body out of thin air, and jumped five steps away. I saw him suddenly elongate, almost twice his usual size, and fall to the ground, shrinking again, and the gun was raised.I screamed and covered my ears with my hands almost at the same time, but my uncle didn't let out a sound, and shouted happily: "You have carried a wolf?! Hagen, Hagen, you short legs, where did you catch them?" The head under the plank tried to stand up, it was a man with a big nose but short legs, he straightened his waist, the lower half of the wolf's body was almost sitting on the ground: "Isn't this the captain! I dug a trap in Xiawan Forest to catch that wild dog, but it was a wolf that came, look, if you hunters can carry wolves, I can too!"

The uncle said, "It will do! You put it down and let me see who it is?" Hagen really put the board and the wolf on the ground with a straddle, and ran towards us. He forgot the little pig for a while, and turned around to hug the little pig, but felt it was too late, and the wolf was on the ground. Withdrew its front paws from the hole in the plank, immediately kicked its hind legs up, put its head on the ground and screamed, and its eyes turned completely white.The poor little pig stood still while neighing, lost its direction for a moment, and moved towards the wolf step by step. The wolf slapped the pig, and the little pig rolled like a charcoal ball.Hagen lost his voice and called: "Captain, captain!"

He cocked the gun with a bang. The bullet exploded on a leaf in front of the wolf, and the leaf divided into four pieces and floated in the air.The wolf turned around and was about to flee, another shot was fired, the bullet landed behind it, and a puff of dust rose from the ground.Then there was a burst of shots, and the bullets rang around the wolf's body.The series of gunshots at this moment was like a scene in a movie. I stood there without daring to move, and the wolf couldn't move a step in the circle of smoke and dust.Hagen had the courage to approach his uncle, and when he wanted to speak, his nose choked, and he said, "My nose is stuffy." The uncle said, "I believe that other people's noses are stuffy. You have a big nose like yours. Hagen waved at the wolf, hooked his index finger, and said, "This will take your skin, there must be a bed on the kang in winter. Director Shi, I will give you all the meat Go!" Uncle took out a bullet from his pocket, rubbed the bullet on his clothes, and began to press it leisurely into the barrel of the gun.

"Uncle," his demeanor made me feel that he was too oily. He loaded the bullet into the barrel of the gun. After I calmed down from the sudden panic, I walked over and grabbed my uncle's gun. I said, "Uncle, Are you going to kill it, the state has promulgated a hunting ban!" Uncle was stunned for a moment, his movements froze, and his eyes were fixed on the wolf.The wolf's eyes were also looking at his uncle. The wolf's mouth was very big, and there seemed to be a circle of fine white down on the corner of the mouth. The teeth were exposed, and on the lips were a row of white spots like the scars on the head of a monk. , tail drooping, neck wheezing and agitating.This kind of staring at each other was quite angry, and I thought of the boxer on the boxing ring, but the wolf's gaze finally moved away, and he began to tremble all over his body and let out a low whine.

"You bastard!" Uncle cursed and ejected the bullet from the gun. "Mongrels?" I said, wolves and bastards? "It was born of a wild dog and a she-wolf. Didn't you see that it was beautiful but a boring fellow?" Uncle turned his head and said to Hagen: "I eat hard but not soft, let it go. This is the wolf I surveyed, No. 15. I met it in the middle of the night and didn't kill it. This is The commissioner sent Comrade Gao who is dedicated to implementing the wolf hunting regulations!" Uncle was referring to me. Before I realized it, I took a few steps forward, and then I said, "wolves can't be hunted. There are only fifteen wolves in our area. The wolves will be punished." protected."

"Protect wolves?" Hagen looked puzzled, "Why can't we protect wolves? Are wolves raised by the government?!" Uncle turned around and walked away from the wolf. The wolf ran away suddenly. Hagen chased after him for a few steps. When the wolf turned his head, he staggered and fell to the ground. Let's look this way.I clearly saw a kind of blue light radiating from its eyes. It looked very much like a little daughter-in-law standing in front of her mother-in-law who had done something wrong. Then she turned around and walked, first slowly, then quickly, faster and faster , and then jumped suddenly, turned the corner and disappeared.

No matter how Hai Gen yelled and complained, we ignored him and carried Expert Huang away from the top of the old city.Uncle didn't speak any more, just walked silently, his gun held backwards, the tip of the gun rubbed against the ridge, and the muzzle was covered with mud.Fugui barked around Haigen, then spread his hind legs and urinated brightly, and caught up with us. "Uncle," I knew that uncle was in a bad mood, and wanted to find some words to make him forget what happened just now. "Can you make it to the road down the mountain before lunch?" "It's hard," he said, "Twelve miles away." "Expert Huang is a big fat man, heavy enough to carry." "The heaviest thing in the world is the weight of the legs." "Is that wolf number fifteen?" "No. 15." "It shivered like chaff all over its body when it saw you!" "..." "I regret that I forgot to take a picture." Shi De and the others also slowly came to life, and began to laugh at that Hagen.Hagen is quite thin and has such short legs, but Hagen is able to carry a wolf on his back, which is a bit incredible.So they debated how to carry a wolf, how to dig a hole in the forest, put a wooden plank on the hole, cut two small holes in the wooden plank, hide a person and a pig or chicken in the hole, and hear the howling of the pig and the crowing of the chicken when the wolf passed by. , stretched its front paws in from the wooden hole to catch it, and the person hiding in the pit immediately grabbed its front paws and carried the wild animal away.When the experts said this, my uncle didn’t say a word. I asked him in a low voice how many wolves he had carried, and my uncle said that only real hunters don’t carry wolves.I asked the hunter why he didn't recite it?Uncle said: Is it necessary to recite it?A mountain man who was carrying Commissioner Huang said with a smile: "Your uncle is carrying a bride!" Carrying a bride is a custom in the deep mountains of Shangzhou. The child can't be used as a car or a slider. They are all carried into the in-law's house by people, and there are professional people in the mountains.This man was in good health and never married. A bamboo chair covered with red felt was tied to his back, and the bride sat on it with a red kerchief covering her head.A man I met was already 40 years old and still a boy. He told me that almost all the daughters-in-law in his village were carried back by him. Whose daughter-in-law puts incense on her body, he knows that the daughter-in-law smells like sweat.When he returned to the village to worship and enter the bridal chamber, that was his business. He just sat on the steps outside the door and smoked.Hearing what the mountain people said about my uncle carrying a bride, I asked him, "Uncle also used to be a bearer?" My uncle blushed a bit, and immediately cursed a very rough word, then ignored me and went to take a picture of me. Slap Expert Huang's face on the wooden bed.Expert Huang was still unconscious.Covering Expert Huang's body was his uncle's wolf fur. The four legs of the wolf skin were stretched on both sides of the wooden bed. The fur was smooth and soft, and the wolf's head kept hitting him with the shaking of the wooden bed. I felt that the wolf skin was alive in a trance, as if it was kissing Expert Huang.But I didn't dare to express this feeling.We rushed to the highway at the foot of the mountain in the afternoon, and took another car to Zhoucheng. The experts were placed in another place, but my uncle and I were introduced by the commissioner to live in the luxurious Zhoucheng Hotel. Rumors spread all over the city that we carried a wolf in. Uncle was obviously not used to the life in Zhoucheng. Because I was busy going to the hospital to arrange treatment for Dr. Huang, and also had to report to the commissioner what I had seen and heard at the base, my uncle stayed in the hotel and had nothing to do but sleep.The waiters in the hotel do not allow Fugui to live in the room, but Fugui is tied to the door of the hotel. Whenever he sees a stranger coming, he barks and makes vicious clawing movements, scaring everyone who wants to come in and screaming. After screaming, the uncle carried Fugui into the room again, and promised that Fugui would never scatter feces and urine on the carpet casually, nor would he bark anymore.The waiter said, rich?Is a dog just a dog? Why do you have such a name! ?I sternly warned the waiter: This is a guest specially invited by the commissioner, the dog depends on the owner, you can ignore my uncle, but you have to respect the commissioner in order to consider your job.Only then did the waiter allow Fugui to enter the room, but he had to wash Fugui's body with detergent.When my uncle was cleaning for the rich and honor, his expression was so painful that a teardrop kept rolling in his eye socket.I’m not persuading, and I’m not persuading, and I dare not say a word for a long time.Later, every time I went out, I told him to go to the zoo in Zhoucheng. If he missed wolves, there were three wolves raised there.Uncle went, he saw the three wolves locked in the cage, but he came back soon, he didn’t recognize them as wolves, wolves are scary beasts, and the wolves in the cage turned into Even children used the food in their hands to tease the plaything, but the wolf didn't panic when he saw him, he felt ashamed.He led his Fugui through the street. There were a lot of vehicles on the street. He actually saw three car accidents in a row. One time, a roaring car knocked down a woman riding a bicycle. The woman's head was broken and died on the spot. The other two times were when a car hung an old man carrying an egg basket to the ground, no one was injured, the egg was broken and the egg yolk was smashed all over the floor, and a car collided head-to-tail with another car.My uncle decided that the cars on the street were transformed by wolves. There are fewer and fewer wolves in Shangzhou. It is the wolves that transformed the cars. It is the coquettish love and banter between wolves.Fugui kept barking all the way, and there were so many children following them, they all booed, laughed at his attire, laughed at his long legs and thin waist, ugly without a tail, and even yelled: Here comes the dog, here comes the dog juggler!Think of him as a kind of entertainer who plays monkeys.Uncle stopped going to the streets and stayed in his room to sleep, with a headache. Regarding whether or not to cancel the Giant Panda Base, and how to arrange the work of the dozens of scientific and technical personnel, the Administrative Office held several special meetings, but the issue was still undecided.Director Shi De still asked me to stay and help them, so my uncle and I cannot leave for the time being.On this day, newspapers in Zhoucheng published the news that a meteor shower was about to appear in the sky, and radio and television even publicized the once-in-a-thousand-year astronomical spectacle to everyone, young and old.After hearing this, I immediately returned to the hotel from the administrative office, hoping that my uncle would go to Jiguan Mountain in the north of the city to watch the meteor shower with me at night, and help me carry the camera to shoot, but there was no uncle and Fugui in the hotel.I have no doubt that my uncle will leave me quietly, because the wolf skin is still spread on the bed.The waiter at the hotel told me that the man from the mountains would go to find a public toilet. He said he couldn't poop while sitting on the toilet.
