Hiding in the mountains to watch the end of the world

In the evening, Zhao Mian went to his parents' place before coming back, but he didn't bring anything with him when he came back, he only brought some wild fruit, which looked like plums.

When Zhao Mian came back, he heard An An crying on it, so he quickly put down his things and ran up. It turned out that An An was wetting the bed, and An An probably felt uncomfortable, and there was no one up there, so she cried.

Zhao Mian felt strange, logically speaking An An would not feel uncomfortable even if she had diapers and wet the bed.

"Stop crying, stop crying." Zhao Mian coaxed a few words, and quickly changed his son's diaper.

After taking off his pants, he realized that there were no diapers. No wonder An An was crying.

"Wow... uh, fall... woo... wow..."

An An was crying all the time, and his crying face was so aggrieved that it made people feel distressed. Zhao Mian washed his butt before putting on diapers. He probably felt comfortable, so An An hiccupped and stopped crying.

"Tumbled..." An An pouted aggrievedly, buried in her father's arms, her little face full of grievances.

Zhao Mian chuckled, "Father is here."

"Tumble..." An An blinked her big eyes, and yelled a few more times, the voice was so soft that Zhao Mian's heart softened.

"Go cook, okay?" Zhao Mian looked at his son and lowered his voice, as if discussing.

An An naturally didn't know what he was talking about, but she learned a few words subconsciously, "how... how..."

It sounded like he was answering Zhao Mian. Zhao Mian laughed, found out the strap, and carried his son on his back. An An hadn't been carried before. He tilted his head curiously, "Tumble..."

Before Zhao Mian tied it up, An An screamed excitedly, and moved around excitedly, Zhao Mian finally tied the strap, An An stretched out his hand and patted his father's back excitedly, ah yelled.

"Do you want this?" Zhao Mian took a toy, a small ball, and handed it to his son.

An An didn't want it, she didn't like it, and Zhao Mian took other things, such as small cars and small animals.

There are no more toys, Zhao Mian has no time to look for them, and the others are not clean, so I won't look for them.

"Tumble...?" An An called out as she lay on Zhao Mian's back.

"Daddy is here." Zhao Mian walked downstairs and replied softly.

It is probably the first time on someone else's back, and the field of vision is different. An An is very excited. She moved excitedly on Zhao Mian's back, and her two calves moved back and forth. Fortunately, Zhao Mian tied it well, otherwise she would fall What can I do.

"Tumbling... Crawling..." An An giggled, and suddenly saw the back of Daddy's head in front of him, as if he had found a new toy, and patted the back of Zhao Mian's head excitedly.

The child is not strong enough, so Zhao Mian just let him go, just hit him.

Zhao Mian went into the kitchen to cook. There was still a little food left over from lunch, but not much, probably because Ozawa didn't eat anything.

There are not many vegetables at home, just a few potatoes, Zhao Mian thought, maybe he can find some wild vegetables, otherwise he will get tired of eating this all the time.

"Brother Zhao! Is Brother Zhao there? Something happened, Brother Zhao!" The door slammed, and the voice was unknown, but Zhao Mian couldn't hear it.

Zhao Mian washed his hands, went out to open the door, and saw that it was Zeng Pei, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Mian frowned, what could happen?

"Brother Zhao, the village chief said that Zhao Xi and the others went into the mountains, and they didn't come back after dark. Uncle Qi asked me to come and find you." Zeng Pei obviously came running.

He happened to pass by and saw many people surrounded by the village head and the others, many of whom were talking excitedly, but Zeng Pei didn't care, he seldom participated in these things, so he was going to go straight home.

Who knew that Old Uncle Qi happened to see him and called him over. Only then did Zeng Pei almost know what happened. As soon as Old Qi said something, he ran over.

Zhao Mian nodded coldly, "I see."

Zhao Mian didn't intend to help find it, but coaxed An An on his back from time to time, very cold.

"Brother Zhao, don't you want to help?" Zeng Pei couldn't imagine, "What if something happens?"

"Did they tell the village before they entered the mountain?" Zhao Mian asked lightly.

Where did Zeng Pei know, shaking his head, "I don't know."

Probably didn't say anything, Zhao Mian saw what Zhao Xi and the others were talking about over there today, and thought they were just talking, even if they were serious, they should have prepared before entering the mountain.

How is it now, is this a decision to enter the mountain?In all likelihood, they went to the Black Stone Valley. It has been so long, if something happened, it would have happened long ago.

"If I can't leave the house, I won't go." Zhao Mian turned and went back.

Zeng Pei looked at the ajar door, unable to react, and walked back in a daze, just in time to meet An Huaize who was coming home.

"Doctor An." Zeng Pei greeted.

An Huaize nodded. He was thinking about something with his head down, and it took him a while to realize that he turned his head and glanced at Zeng Pei.

"Why did he come here?" An Huaize wondered, he hadn't seen Zeng Pei for a long time, what's the matter here?

But it's not just their family here, so An Huaize didn't think that Zeng Pei came to look for them, maybe he was passing by?

"Are you back?" Zhao Mian was lighting a fire, and when he looked up, he saw An Huaize from the door.

"Something happened in the village. Zhao Xi and the others have gone into the mountains." An Huaize put down the medicine box and pressed his neck, feeling a little tired.

"I know, Zeng Pei just came to look for me in the mountains." Zhao Mian lit the fire and put the rice cooker on it.

"I went into the mountain without saying a word. My parents were anxious to find the village head, and they happened to be crying at the ancestral hall." An Huaize laughed, and asked him to go together, saying that if he was injured, he could still help.

Are you kidding?At night, he went into the mountain?It's not that I'm tired of living.

An Huaize directly refused, naturally he would not get a good face, and Zhao Ping was also annoyed to death.

When An Huaize saw the potatoes on the cutting board, he felt greasy, so he took some eggplants out of the space, washed them and cut them up.

"I don't know where they entered the mountain from, and it's hard to find it at the Black Stone Valley." Zhao Mian put the vegetables into the pot, and there was a sizzling sound in the kitchen.

"Can you find it?" An Huaize asked, but it was not good and he really didn't help, he knew they would have to go into the mountains to find it.

Zhao Mian shook his head, "It's hard to find. This place is not as simple as Liujiatun. The situation here is more complicated. If they take the usual way to Heishigu, nothing will happen to them. If they take the other way, no one will be able to." Can't help them."

Zhao Mian walked a little deeper today, and happened to be on the road to the Black Rock Valley. After walking for a while, he found that no other carnivores regarded that area as their territory, probably because they thought it was their territory.

Going further in, Zhao Mian didn’t know, but maybe it’s the same in the back. When Zhao Mian walked back, it was already late, and he didn’t see anyone walking that way, either went before him, or Go another way.

"That……"

An Huaize was about to ask what to do if he went another way, when someone knocked on the door again, it was Zhao Ping.

"Uncle Mian! Uncle Mian!" Zhao Ping knocked on the door, but An Huaize ignored him, and Zhao Mian didn't bother to talk to him either.

"I'll come in by myself after a while." Zhao Mian shook his head, Pingzi was getting more and more presumptuous.

An Huaize chuckled, "This kid is quite cute, but... a little careless."

Just as the two of them thought, Zhao Ping said shortly after knocking on the door, "I'm coming in!"

Zhao Ping ran in, and An Huaize restrained the smile on his face. When Zhao Ping saw An Huaize here, he stopped suddenly, smiled, and looked at the kitchen, "An... Doctor An, I'm looking for uncle."

An Huaize pointed his chin to the kitchen, but thinking of Zhao Ping's love for scratching his head, he let him sit down, "Wait a minute, what are you doing here?"

Asking the question knowingly, An Huaize directly pretended to be confused.

When asked about this, Zhao Ping put on a bitter face, "Well, I'm here to find Uncle Jinshan."

"Where did they enter the mountain?" An Huaize asked.

Zhao Ping's face completely collapsed, "I don't know, but I guess I went from Zhoutang, where I saw traces of people walking on the grass in the forest."

The traces are still very heavy. Zhao Ping originally thought that if he went from Langlang Mountain, it would be okay. His village had traveled a lot on that road. He remembered that his uncle said that there was a high probability that it was their territory. Yes, after all, they won before, so they can naturally defend the territory.

When Zhao Ping thought of this, he thought, if he took the people there alone, they would be fine.

Who knows, when he went to see it just now, Old Uncle Qi also went there, saying that this road didn't look like someone had walked by it.

Old Uncle Qi has spent most of his life climbing and rolling in the mountains. Uncle Qi can tell if anything has passed along a road during this time.Zhao Mian went halfway. He didn't go from the village, and Old Uncle Qi didn't notice it. However, this also showed that Zhao Xi and the others didn't go from this side.

They had no choice but to find other ways, and then they saw traces of people walking in the woods on the other side of Zhoutang, and Zhao Ping was in trouble. He was reluctant to go into the mountains at night, but now it was even more difficult.

"There is a group of wild boars in Zhoutang. I didn't go to see it." Zhao Mian brought out a dish, braised eggplant, which looked very good.

"Then they're probably fine." Zhao Ping was relieved, as long as the wild boar was not touched, nothing would happen.

Zhao Mian was also not sure, "They will probably take a detour, and I don't know where they are going, but with Zhao Xi around, nothing will happen, except that it is hard to find."

After finishing speaking, he went in to cook again. Zhao Ping felt relieved and drooled looking at the dishes on the table, "Doctor An, why do you have eggplant at home?"

"It was cultivated upstairs." An Huaize's face remained unchanged.

It turned out so, Zhao Ping sat for a while, and Zhao Mian brought out the last dish, fried pork slices with potatoes.

An An had already fallen asleep in the back, Zhao Mian took off her apron, and put An An down to An Huaize, "Let's go, I will go into the mountain with you."

Zhao Ping laughed, he knew that Uncle Mian would go, otherwise he wouldn't have told him so much.

"Is Dr. An going?" Zhao Ping asked, with Zhao Mian around, he was more courageous.

"I won't go." An Huaize shook his head. He doesn't know how to walk in the mountains. He doesn't need someone to take care of him, but it will be more or less a burden, so he still doesn't want to go.

The family can't leave, An'an will wake up later, and there is no one to take care of her, so Xiaochen and the others can help her, but they have nothing to do with An'an.

Zhao Mian went into the mountain with guns, nothing else, Zhao Ping slapped his head, "I forgot to bring a gun!"

But no, Zhao Ping just came here, didn't bring anything, didn't dare to delay, and ran back quickly.

Zhao Mian went there first, and at the ancestral hall, Uncle Qi was sitting beside him, smoking a pipe.

"Old Uncle Qi, are you leaving?"

"Yeah, Old Uncle Qi, what are you waiting for, go into the mountains quickly, kids don't know what to do in the mountains."

"Yeah, Old Uncle Qi, you said wait, who are you waiting for?"

There are more than a dozen men next to them. These are almost the only young and middle-aged men left in the village. The rest are lying down. Most of them are the family members of the young people who entered the mountain, and the others are from other families in the village.

"Wait a little longer, don't worry." Old Uncle Qi smoked his cigarette leisurely, not in a hurry at all.

"Old Uncle Qi, don't wait." Everyone was very anxious, the guys were all ready, but Old Qi told them to wait.

Old Uncle Qi shook his head, this matter can't be urgent, he can lead the way, but now it's not like before, naturally we have to wait for Pingzi and Mian boy to come over.

"Come here? You kid, I'll wait for you for a long time." Old Uncle Qi looked up and saw Zhao Mian coming, and nodded.

"The family can't leave." Zhao Mian walked over and gave the gun to Old Uncle Qi.

Everyone complained that it was good that no one from the family went into the mountain, but the family members of those young people who went into the mountain didn't take a good look at Zhao Mian.

"Huh, the airs are too big now, and I can't even invite you here."

"They're all from the old Zhao's family, why don't you worry at all, if you don't belong to his family, don't worry."

But some people also understand that it is love for others to help you, and it is duty not to help you, so they don't complain.

"Old Uncle Qi, are you able to leave?" Everyone was still in a hurry, and those who complained or not all looked anxiously at Old Uncle Qi.

Old Uncle Qi shook his head, "Wait a little longer."

Still waiting? !I can't help but feel anxious.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all saw helplessness in each other. After all this waiting... Sigh...

This time, not long after waiting, Zhao Ping rushed over, holding a gun and a backpack, and when he reached the ancestral hall, he stopped and gasped for breath.

"Uncle, I'm here, I'm here!" Zhao Ping yelled.

"Fizzy, what are you doing!" The village chief snorted, but he didn't mean to blame, but he was very happy in his heart. His son finally recovered his previous temperament.

"Hey." Zhao Ping scratched his head, then walked to Old Uncle Qi, "Master Qi, you can go."

Old Uncle Qi smiled and nodded, "Let's go."

A group of people walked to Zhoutang, Old Uncle Qi walked in front, followed by Zhao Mian and Zhao Ping half a step behind.

After entering the forest, everyone automatically shut up and didn't speak. Everyone had been into the mountains before, and they were not too nervous. They knew the rules of entering the mountains, so they walked very quickly. Lead the way.

"The herd of wild boars is not easy to deal with. The herd of wild boars used to nest in the northwest, where is it now?" Uncle Qi asked.

"I don't know." Zhao Ping shook his head.

"There are probably three or four wild boar nests on the side of Xiaopinggou and Xiaopingxi." Zhao Mian replied, he didn't look very clearly last time, he only knew a general idea.

"Then you have to be careful." Uncle Qi sighed, a herd of wild boars is not easy. In the past, several old hunters went into the mountain together, and they had to detour when they encountered them.

"Adult boars weigh more than 500 kilograms, and piglets are not small. Now there are at least ten or eight wild boars in a herd. I don't know how big their territory is." Zhao Mian reminded everyone.

"What?" Someone exclaimed, but the voice was not loud, and they dared not speak loudly.

"Why is it so big?" Everyone was a little surprised, it was too big, more than 500 kilograms, and the most encountered before was more than 300 kilograms, which is already rare.

Old Uncle Qi snorted coldly, not surprised, "The domestic pigs are much bigger, what's so strange about the wild boars getting bigger?"

No, domestic pigs now weigh about 200 catties. In the past, [-] catties could be slaughtered. We feed pig grass at home, and it doesn’t grow as fast as the ones in the city. It weighs more than [-] catties a year. More than three hundred catties would be good, and it is not yet the year, so it is estimated that it can grow longer.

"Oh, it's a good thing that wild boars don't like to come out during the day, otherwise what would the children do if they encounter it." Everyone was a little rejoiced.

Uncle Qi and the others don’t think so. The road they used to transport stones into the mountain was made by their ancestors. It goes directly to the Black Stone Valley not far in front of the mountain, and there is no need to detour.

"It seems that they took a detour." Old Uncle Qi was a little worried. On the way from the mountain to the other side, not all places can go down. Some places are too steep, that is, cliffs, but they can't go down.But there must be a place to go down. It is almost a small intersection. Usually when everyone comes back from chopping firewood, it is still late, and they will come back from there. It can be much faster, so that road is the road most people in the village take to enter the mountain. .

"I'll go to the front and have a look." Zhao Mian took the gun to the front, trotted, and soon disappeared.

Old Uncle Qi and the others continued to move forward, and Zhao Mian came back soon, "The herd of wild boars is not restless. They went there during the day, so they probably didn't encounter them, so they can pass through directly."

"Like this, let's go that way. If they get to the road, we can easily find them. If not, we can only look for them in the mountains." Old Uncle Qi felt relieved.

Everyone walked forward, passed Xiaozhou Mountain, and came to Xiaoping Mountain. They were about to reach the next small intersection, and finally found traces.

Zhao Mian turned on the light. Uncle Qi looked carefully. There were many traces here. The ones coming from the front were a bit messy. Uncle Qi frowned. Did he enter and come back?

"They encountered something." Old Uncle Qi's voice sank, "They're going down this way."

Everyone's hearts sank, "Old Uncle Qi, what is it?"

Old Uncle Qi shook his head, while looking away, suddenly his expression darkened, and he asked Zhao Mian to come over, "Boy Mian, what is this?"

This is the territory of wild boars. When Zhao Mian saw a footprint, he thought that he might have encountered a wild boar. You can’t light fires in the mountains, you can only use flashlights, but you can’t turn on lights in the mountains. It’s too easy to startle things in the mountains, so He only took one and gave it to Uncle Qi, Zhao Mian didn't look down.

Zhao Mian knelt down and looked at it with Old Uncle Qi, his expression darkened, and he twirled the leaves of grass, "There are bloodstains, these are... the footprints of a puma."

Old Uncle Qi has never seen a puma before, and he doesn’t understand this kind of thing, so he can’t see its footprints. Pumas walk very lightly before hunting, and they usually hide, making it difficult to leave footprints.

But Zhao Mian had also dealt with pumas before. After carefully studying the footprints of pumas, he ruled out several animals in his mind, and he knew it was pumas.

"The footprints are messy, the strides are big, and you see, they are very panicked and there are bloodstains. It seems that they are injured. There is something chasing them behind them. There are two of them." Old Uncle Qi quickly saw the doorway.

"The front may be the territory of the cougar." Zhao Mian quickly made a guess, whether it is true or not is not important anymore.

"The blood is dry, but it didn't take long." Old Uncle Qi said.

"Old Uncle Qi, what should we do now?" There was an old man with red eyes, afraid that something might happen to his son.

"Catch up." Old Uncle Qi was the first to run.

Zhao Mian and the others followed closely behind, and the people behind also hurriedly ran. After running for a while, Zhao Mian whispered, "Pingzi, go to the back, be careful."

Pingzi ran to the back, carefully watching his surroundings, he didn't feel anything staring at them, but he felt relieved, holding a gun, Zhao Ping wasn't afraid either.

A group of more than a dozen people quickly ran down the main road. Uncle Qi stopped, turned on the flashlight, and shone on the ground.

"There are bloodstains and footprints, and they have gone to the mountains." Zhao Mian saw it at a glance.

Old Uncle Qi frowned, "How many people have they entered the mountain?"

"Nine." Everyone answered quickly.

Everyone hated Zhao Xi to death. They originally thought that even if the children wanted to enter the mountains, they would not be able to go there so quickly anyway. There was no dry food and nothing, so why did they go?The mother-in-law went to persuade her, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she went to the field.

Who knows, when they came back from the field, they found that the child was not at home. After asking, several families were not at home, nor in the village. They must have entered the mountains now.This family is missing some hatchets, wound medicines, etc., what can they do.

"One person's footprint is missing." Old Uncle Qi whispered.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, one is missing? !

Everyone was afraid that their child was gone, so they didn't dare to guess, "Old Uncle Qi, let's go quickly."

"Don't worry." Old Uncle Qi saw the doorway again, "There are not many people, probably injured, someone is carrying it."

Everyone's heart went up and down, and the big stone in their hearts was finally put down a little, as long as there are no fewer people, as long as there are no fewer people.

"Uncle, there is something." Zhao Ping's voice came, very softly, but he was walking behind, and everyone heard it.

"Don't talk, go forward." Zhao Mian also felt it, he was on the mountain, did not come down, and took the lead, "Old Uncle Qi, be careful."

Zhao Mian loaded the gun, and everyone grabbed their guns and walked forward step by step. Zhao Mian felt something following them, but they didn't go down the mountain and didn't take a step beyond the thunder pool.

After walking for about half an hour, Old Uncle Qi saw that the footprints on the road were more scattered, and there were more bloodstains, "Go forward, they fought here before."

Zhao Mian looked at the blood on the ground under the moonlight, and his eyes were cold. From this point of view, this road is indeed their territory, but there is something provocative. To make this road safe, the only way to make this road safe is to guard yourself according to the law of the jungle. territory.

"Pingzi, be careful, don't let anything go off the road today." Zhao Mian's voice was very low, but he was not cautious, but rather cold.

Zhao Ping responded from behind, carefully guarding behind.

"They're going up the mountain." Old Uncle Qi looked at a section of footprints on the ground, cursed in a low voice, and looked at the pair of cool eyes on the mountain.

"The cougar is also injured." Zhao Mian also saw a little trick.

Old Uncle Qi glanced appreciatively, "What a boy, he steals the teacher without saying a word, and he has good understanding."

"The puma didn't continue to chase, they ran away, but entered the territory of other things." Zhao Mian watched the puma's footprints go up the mountain from the other side, it seems that the wild boar's territory is the puma's territory, And across the road next to it is the territory of other things.

Xiaozhou Mountain and Xiaoping Mountain are the territories of wild boars. These are small hills, but they are not small, but the wild boar nests are usually on the side of Xiaoping Mountain.

Behind Xiaoping Mountain is Luosan Ridge, which is a ridge, but it is larger than Xiaozhou Mountain and Xiaoping Mountain combined, and it seems to be the territory of pumas.

The other side is separated by a big road, which is actually Luosan Ridge, but there used to be a valley here, which was changed into a road. Everyone called the other half Xiao Luosan, and that is where Zhao Xi and the others fled. I don't know what kind of territory it is.
