Chapter 19 Section 18: The guide leaves the team

In the end, the team stayed at Senea's house.Even though it was still dark, the mountain stream behind Senea's house was very dangerous, and there was a risk of slipping through during the day, not to mention that it was almost dusk.Buhebayi persuaded again and again, and said that if he passed through this mountain stream safely, he could almost save a day's journey.This sentence finally made Da Qi change his mind. Early the next morning, everyone led the old horse of Senea's family, bid farewell to the preoccupied hostess, and entered the mountain stream cautiously. Before setting off, Senea told Ling Ning that with her weight, the old horse had to walk for three to four hours, so she had to get off and walk for a while to let the horse rest before getting on the horse.This horse is not only too old, but also looks skinny. Ling Ning can't bear to ride it, and this mountain stream is said to be afraid of even eagles, so he has to use his legs to walk. Therefore, The horse was held by the "little monk".

Going straight through this mountain stream is the other side of the mountain. If you climb over the top of the mountain, the distance will double, because the peak of this mountain is nearly 4000 meters, and the peak is covered with snow all the year round. , I'm afraid I won't be able to turn over.Compared with the two, it is a better choice to take a little risk and take this path in the cliff. I don't know how many years this mountain stream has been formed. The stream at the foot of the mountain is gurgling, and the cliffs on both sides are not far apart. It looks like a mountain has suddenly cracked a crack.There are huge strange rocks in the west, and there is no road.After passing a slope that was not too difficult, everyone walked on a path in the middle of the east cliff.

The narrowest part of this path is more than 1 foot. In some places, you even have to turn your body sideways to pass. Along the cliff on the right, the terrain rises all the way.Ling Ning leaned sideways and walked forward cautiously against the cliff. Looking up, the golden eagles in the sky were circling incessantly, but they did not dare to fall into the mountain stream; She was dazzled. "Be careful!" With the sound of "stab", a stone under Ling Ning's feet slid down, and Chu Feng behind her quickly reached out to give her a hand, and the little girl avoided the fate of slipping into the deep ravine.

"Huh!" After Ling Ning stood still, she let out a breath of shock. She turned her head and saw Chu Feng's face was ashen, and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, I will definitely pay attention next time! Oh, yes, thank you!" said After that, he shrank his neck, slid his body like a fish to avoid Chu Feng's "claws", and hurried forward.It made Chu Feng unable to express his temper, so he couldn't help shaking his head while looking at her back. "Oh! I'm finally here!" Although the road was difficult and dangerous, after three hours of walking cautiously, everyone was vigilant and finally passed without any danger.Compared with the steepness over there just now, the end of the mountain stream exit is like a paradise.

The brook in the mountain stream, like a wild horse, disappeared!The gurgling stream here flows slowly like a quiet lady, beside the stream are two grasslands filled with countless unknown red and yellow wildflowers, and beyond the grassland is an endless sea of ​​miscellaneous forests.Inside, birch, red birch, spruce, alpine pine and other tree species coexist without encroaching on each other.On the edge of the forest is a group of white birch trees, at least a hundred years old, still standing tall like a young girl.A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves "rustled" sounded, and the branches swaying with the wind were like the arms of a girl, welcoming guests from afar with incomparable elegance.

Ling Ning, who had not washed his feet in the mountains for three days, couldn't bear the temptation of the clear stream, so he took off his socks and put his feet in the water: "Oh! It's so cold!" Suddenly, he lifted her up rudely: "Idiot, who told you to wash your feet in the mountain stream!" With Sang Bu's height, carrying Ling Ning is like an eagle catching a chick. He grabbed her to Chu Feng and said, "Take care of your students. Can the stream under the glacier wash your feet casually? This mountain stream has some The temperature is so low that it can freeze people into ice cubes!"

Chu Feng saw that it was Ling Ning again!His head slapped from a headache. He knew that Sangbu was not alarmist. Most people always think that as long as the river water does not freeze, the temperature will not be lower than zero degrees Celsius. freeze.At the foot of the holy peak, Bogda Peak, there is a small stream. It doesn’t look amazing. If a person accidentally falls, he will be frozen in an instant, and the inside is completely frozen into an iceman, and he can’t see anything on the outside. come out. "Thank you! Give her to me!" As he said, Chu Feng ignored Ling Ning's pouting protest, and put her on the back of the old horse, and continued on his way.

It was strange to say that this old horse had nothing to do on such a dangerous and narrow path, and came over steadily, but now it was about to walk out of the mountain path to the flat ground, but it refused to leave. For a long time, Da Qi saw that no one behind him was following him, and his heart became angry. Looking back, it was Miss Ling Ning who was sitting on the horse and spinning around in place, which made it impossible for others to pass. What's the matter?" His tone was extremely different. "Why does this horse refuse to go!" Ling Ning didn't care about getting angry at this moment, he clamped his legs from time to time, urging the horse to move forward, but the old horse just didn't obey.

"Idiot!" Da Qi secretly slandered this girl for being incapable of handling a horse. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to take the rein of the old horse, turned around and left.If you don't leave, then I'll drag you! I pull!Why can't you pull it?Da Qi was puzzled, he had already exerted himself a lot, why did this old horse still not move at all? Looking back, the old horse snorted indifferently, looked at him with an almost provocative look, and stood still, as if saying: "Boy! You are still far behind!" With a "boom", Da Qi felt the blood all over his body rushing to the top of his head, "I don't believe it, I can't do anything to a beast like you!"

Just when he was about to compete fiercely with this old horse, a crisp voice sounded: "I can make the old flower obey!" Hearing this sentence, everyone's face changed!If Da Qi's face before was a bit like Guan Gong with red face, now he looked like Duke Bao with black face. The guide Buhebayi waited for a long time before everyone, so he ran back to check the situation, and when he saw the owner of the voice, he exclaimed: "My God, little Arslang, why are you following me! Your mother must die in a hurry I!" "I'm going to find my father! My father always told me that Arslang is the little lion king, so be brave. I want to go with my uncle and find my father! Arsrang is a man now, don't be afraid!" Little Al As Si Lang said, he even puffed out his small chest, when suddenly a puppy appeared next to him, saying "Wang, Wang" twice to show his support.

"Oh, even Udi is here, this is really, this is really..." Buhebayi was so anxious that he couldn't speak. At this moment, Senea should have known that Arslang was gone, and why not? I don't know what will happen in a hurry!This Arslang, it will really add to the chaos. These Han people are already in a hurry and try to get there early. Arslang must send him back after making such a fuss. Isn't this a waste of time? "Chief Qi, I have to send this child back!" Buhebai made up his mind, no matter what, he had to send Arslang back, even if Captain Qi didn't want him to.Senea is suffering enough, and Kumbek hasn't come back. If Arslang is lost again, will the poor woman still be alive? Da Qi sullenly said: "Send, of course you have to send the child back! In this way, brother Buhebayi, you go and send the child, we continue to move forward, just point us in the direction. Anyway, you are fast, Come after us after you finish delivering the baby." Buhebayi thought about it, and he had no choice but to say: "Well, if you just change direction from here, you don't need to change again, you keep going in that direction!" He pointed to the north, Daqi looked up, and there There is a towering snow peak beside it: "Cross that snow peak and you will be there?" Buhebayi shook his head: "Don't turn over, there is a road in the valley on the left side of the mountain! If I come back quickly, I can catch up with you tonight. The valley is very strange. If you arrive early, you must Go in when I come back!" Da Qi heard the words, and then carefully estimated the speed of himself and the others. He estimated that it would be too much for him and others to rush to the mountain peak before dark. He felt that there was no problem. Holding Arsrang in his arms, he picked up the puppy named Udi with one hand, turned around and walked towards the mountain stream. "Let go of me! Let go of me! Uncle Buhebai, let me go! I'm going to find Abba! Go to find Abba—" Walking far away, everyone could hear the crisp voice of the child in the mountain stream. Tone protested loudly. "Wang, Wang, Wang Wang!" When the voice of the puppy Udi expressing dissatisfaction came, everyone had already walked away. It's strange to say that as soon as Arslang was taken away, the old horse became obedient. Although it walked slowly, compared to the speed of the horse, for Ling Ning, it was much faster than her own climbing speed . "Wang—Wang!" When everyone passed through the grass and was about to enter the dense forest, the barking of the puppy was still clearly audible. "No!" Daqi and Sangbu spoke at the same time, and immediately stopped their progress. "This is not a dog barking!" Da Qi was alert, and with a wave of his hand, two soldiers took a guard position and stepped forward to scout. "It's a bear!" Sangbu had been to the Altai Mountains for archaeology before, and he knew that there is a famous wild animal here that is very ferocious.That is the tall bear that the locals call "Ha Xiong", because its sound is very similar to that of a dog, so it is also called "dog bear".But unlike the "bears" in the zoo, this "Happy bear" can reach a height of more than 3 meters when it is an adult.Huge in size, but not clumsy at all.Every spring, there will often be a few "Harvest Bears" who are dizzy with hunger and rush into the village to harm the mountain people. Their movements can even be described as swift as the wind. William Lin took a lot of photos along the way, and he couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear for the beautiful scenery here. At this moment, he was still holding his camera and "clicking", completely unaware that the team had already stopped. The lens is aligned, and the shutter is pressed.The lens is aligned, and the shutter is pressed.After leaving the Kazakh yurt this early in the morning, William didn't know how many photos he had taken, and even his hand pressing the shutter felt a little sore.But he still couldn't take enough photos, he was just an amateur, wouldn't he be crazy if a professional photographer came here?No wonder the Kanas area is known as a photographer's paradise!William felt that this title was not an exaggeration at all. "What is this?" A huge figure with brown hair suddenly appeared in the camera. It was still slowly approaching at first, and then suddenly leaped forward and came close.It stood upright and was more than 3 meters high.Turning its head, it bared its teeth at William's camera and let out an angry growl. William was so surprised that he almost dropped the camera. Luckily, Sangbu grabbed him and said, "What are you waiting for! We broke into the territory of a 'harsh bear', which is a female bear protecting its calf. If you don't leave, what do you think?" Give it lunch?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but drag him and follow Chu Feng to turn eastward. If Buhebayi was there, he knew the terrain like the back of his hand, and would definitely lead them around the female bear's territory. You must know that wild animals with a mother's love are the most vicious and unreasonable.Normally, with so many of them, the bear might have been scared away, but now there is a cub in the mother bear's arms, which seems to be not yet full moon, which arouses its ferocity.Not only does it not retreat, it is approaching step by step. The whole team was moving eastward, and Da Qi ordered Lao Xing and Zhang Guozhu to break the rear, but they could not shoot unless the weapons in their hands were critical.Not to mention the protection of animals, but in this mysterious mountain, who knows what will happen once the gunshots are fired? It is very strange that the female bear moved very quickly when she jumped in front of Lin William's camera. At this time, seeing everyone running back, she did not rush forward quickly, but approached slowly. The Predator, rather, looks like a bad-tempered aunt, driving those uninvited and annoying guests out. Lao Xing and Zhang Guozhu pointed their guns at it, while slowly backing away, paying attention to whether the people behind them retreated to a safe distance.I don't know if the female bear has suffered from this kind of black stick-like weapon, or is it satisfied that everyone retreated quickly.It chased forward for tens of meters, and stopped when it reached the position where everyone was standing just now. It just showed its teeth blindly in demonstration, but it didn't take a step closer. After confirming that everyone was out of danger, Lao Xing put away the gun and let out a sigh of relief: "It's okay! This guy is very territorial. It's a blessing to be able to get rid of it without using a gun!" "Not good!" Just as the words fell, Chu Feng suddenly shouted, "Everyone, stop!" "What's going on?" Da Qi knew that Chu Feng had always been targeted, "What did you notice?" "I can't go any further. The female bear didn't chase me just now because it entered the territory of a stronger beast. If we go any further, we might run into each other head-on." Chu Feng knew that the beast The concept of territory between them is very strong. If there were not more ferocious beasts here, the female bear would not even give up the pursuit posture without even posing. "Could it be that the mother bear didn't care about her cub, that's why she didn't chase us?" William was a little unconvinced. "Maybe she is a gentle mother. At first she thought we were invading intentionally to hurt it and its cubs, so she resisted us. Later, when we retreated, she let it go!" He guessed the female bear with human thinking. idea. "Impossible! An enraged female bear can't easily let the enemy go!" Sambu still had a certain understanding of this. "Professor Chu and Captain Sang are right. You can smell it, the air has the unique smell of beasts!" Zhang Guozhu has a good nose, and he pointed to the direction of everyone's progress, and the smell of beasts was in that direction. Before the words were finished, a long howl of "Aw!" not only made the old horse's legs go limp, almost knocking Ling Ning off, but even the leaves on the tree seemed to be trembling with fright, and might fall down at any time. "What's the sound of this?" William was frightened, and hurriedly approached Chu Feng, "It doesn't sound like a tiger, nor like a lion's roar!" "I don't know. There should be no tigers or lions here." Chu Feng felt that the voice seemed lazy. "Fortunately, it hasn't noticed us yet, maybe because we haven't penetrated into its territory yet. The roar is not hostile!" "Then where are we going? We can't go to the east, and the north is blocked again. We have to go back to the south, so we have to go west?" Wang Cong had little use for this trip, and was a little impatient. "It's okay, little monk, you will lead the way!" Daqi was not troubled by this little difficulty. The "little monk" is from the Miao nationality and has lived in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou since childhood.He has his own way of distinguishing the territory of beasts. "We pass by the edge of their territory!" "Yes." The "little monk" Long Shangqing took the order, and immediately lay down on the ground to observe carefully.Soon, he beckoned and signaled everyone to follow in his footsteps.
