Jiang Yuheng crawled out of the pool in a panic, dripping water all over his body.He groped to open his backpack in the dark, took out the waterproof flashlight, and took a look around, his heart sank immediately.

Before that, he had tracked the grizzly bear across a foggy valley and up a mountain.In the white mist, it can be seen that the mountains here are steep and full of strange rocks.Halfway up the mountain, there are not many big trees, but the hillside is covered with thorn bushes as tall as a person.Jiang Yuheng was inconvenient to hide, and saw the grizzly bear ahead, so he decided not to turn around.He pulled out the bear hunting knife from his boots, and threw himself forward, one man and one bear started a hand-to-hand fight.

The right-eared grizzly bear, who reigned supreme in the deep mountains of Liangshi Town, could slap hard rocks into powder with one slap, but now, he was forced by a human to retreat and howl again and again.At last it seemed to realize that it was at the end of its rope, so it turned around and fled to the top of the mountain.

Jiang Yuheng followed closely behind, and within a few meters, suddenly there was nothing under his feet——under the cover of weeds, there was a dark pothole that went straight into the heart of the earth.Jiang Yuheng was surprised, but his hands were not flustered. Looking at the gap in the stone wall, he thrust his knife in to stop the fall, and then stretched his legs against the cave wall, only to hang in mid-air.

Just as he was about to climb out of the rock wall, the ugly face of a grizzly bear appeared at the entrance of the cave. The bear roared into the cave, showing its sharp fangs, and then disappeared. A moment later, it pushed a stone and threw it down into the cave.

Jiang Yuheng was shocked, the hole was narrow and the stone was huge, no matter what he couldn't avoid it, he had to grit his teeth and let go, and fell straight into the hole.

I don't know how deep the hole is, but finally, the hunter is agile, and in the dark, he can rely on instinct alone to borrow strength from the raised stone wall.Finally, with a bang, people and stones fell into the dark pool of water.

When Jiang Yuheng gritted his teeth and got up, he felt pain all over his body, and he didn't know how many places he was injured by the sharp stones on the cave wall.Lying by the water and thinking about what happened before and after, he finally understood one thing. This time, he underestimated the enemy too much.

The bear had probably lured him here on purpose.Although the old people in Liangshi Town had mentioned Tiankeng to him, they also said that this kind of pit was only found in the Xianrentai area of ​​Dongshan.During the tracking process, the Grizzly used the cover of complex terrain and heavy fog to make the journey difficult for the hunter, so that he ignored the fact that he had already reached Dongshan Mountain and fell into the trap without knowing it.

A hunter turned out to be the target of being hunted!Jiang Yuheng smiled wryly. If the news got out, he would become a joke in the hunter world!

Under the light of the flashlight, Jiang Yuheng surveyed the surrounding environment.This seems to be a karst cave in the heart of the mountain. There is a deep and secluded pool surrounded by strangely shaped stalagmites and stalactites. bat.

It was very cold in the cave, and it was uncomfortable to stick to the wet clothes.Jiang Yuheng rested for a while, opened his backpack, and checked the supplies and equipment. The GPS locator was completely paralyzed, and the crossbow machine had fallen somewhere, and there was only one arrow left in the weapon.Fortunately, there was still a small half bag of bread in the sealed bag.

It seems that he will not starve to death for a while, before that, he must find a way out as soon as possible.

It was impossible to go back the same way, not to mention how steep the hole was and whether it was suitable for climbing. Even if we climbed up, the grizzly bear was probably still guarding the hole.For hunting, animals have always been much more patient than humans.

Jiang Yuheng's only hope now is that there are other exits from this cave.It's been a terrible day today, but as long as he gets out of this mountain alive, he will feel in his heart that his luck is not too bad.

After making a preliminary judgment on the environment he was in, Jiang Yuheng chose to walk along the water.He poured out the water in his boots, put his backpack on his back, held on to the only remaining arrow, and started to follow a thin stream of water by the pool, heading into the depths of the darkness.

When he thought of Team Leader Jiang from the province disappearing under his nose, Shi Laoliu felt very ashamed and regretted.

"I see that he has been in town for the past few days, except for the first time, he has never seriously talked about bear hunting," Shi Laoliu said, "I thought he was just here to relax. He said that people in the city work. There is a lot of pressure, and sometimes I like to find a place to live in the countryside for two days, don't I? I never thought that he would actually go up the mountain alone!"

An old man next to him also sighed: "My God, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? Who has ever seen a single person go up the mountain to hunt a bear? That's a bear! It's not a pheasant deer!"

The people next to him echoed one after another, and it was very lively for a while.Lao Ding, who was walking at the front of the line, didn't say a word, and secretly cursed Bai Chuan, who killed a thousand swords, several times in his heart, and then thought bitterly, the boy of the Jiang family deserves it too, for calling you arrogant!

The tracing team gathered in the town early in the morning, and set off into the mountains with shotguns on their backs. According to old man Ding's idea, everyone searched carefully upstream along the Tianxi River. After a while, Shi Laoliu found two people on the muddy ground nearby. A fresh shoe print, judging from the size, should have been left by Jiang Yuheng, and everyone cheered for a while.

The tracks were intermittent and difficult to follow even with two good hunters in the party.Lao Ding directed a group of people to scatter to search, while he went to the front to inquire first.Shi Laoliu led the group for a long circle in the forest beside Tianxi River, and came to the vicinity of Shiquan upstream. After walking for a long time, the old men were all exhausted.So everyone found a stone, sat down and ate the dry food they brought, and discussed how to find someone next.The old men expressed their opinions, and no one could make up their minds.

At this time, the person sent to call Lao Ding next to Shiquan came back, and said in a panic that Lao Ding who came to inquire first was gone!

Just when everyone turned to look for the missing old man Ding, the person to be found was walking in the depths of the dark cave with a small flashlight.

Every time he walked for a while, he leaned on the stone wall to listen, distinguishing other movements from the sound of running water, and then continued walking after a while.After walking in the dark and damp cave for more than an hour, Lao Ding finally heard the sound of heavy footsteps. He followed the sound and found the exhausted Jiang Yuheng next to a faint beam of light.

Seeing the lights appearing in the darkness, Jiang Yuheng almost burst into tears. After a few days in the cave where he could not see his fingers, he was at the end of his strength, and the flashlight was about to run out.Seeing the rescuers at this moment, I had mixed feelings in my heart.

He walked forward facing the light, looked at it for a moment, and asked, "Is it Ding Jin and the old man? Thank you for coming to the rescue!"

Lao Ding looked at Jiang Yuheng, with a calm expression, and said: "If you are in trouble, you should watch over and help each other. This is also the job of a hunter. Can you still walk?"

Jiang Yuheng was a little disappointed when he saw clearly that the visitor was a stout and stocky old man.In the early years, he had heard a lot of legends about Ding Jinhe in Qiantang, but he really didn't expect him to be so down-to-earth.Thinking of his current embarrassment, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and nodded silently.Lao Ding handed over a new flashlight, turned around and said, "Come with me."

The two walked through the cave one after the other, neither of them speaking.Jiang Yuheng felt ashamed and anxious for a moment in the back, and finally said: "Since the senior suddenly disappeared a few years ago, the Ding family in Qiantang has been sending people to inquire about the whereabouts of the senior, and there are even rumors that you are no longer alive. Unexpectedly, you Hide here."

Old man Ding had a villain in his heart, and he was jumping and scolding Bai Chuan, but his face was as casual as a wild crane, saying: "This world belongs to you young people now, I am an old man, I have been running around for half my life, You should rest too."

He thought he was speaking without emotion, but Jiang Yuheng understood the tragedy of the hero's twilight years from it. He was a passionate man, and he was a little excited for a while, and said quickly: "What are you talking about, senior! Back then, you relied on your own strength to fight in Lingnan I slaughtered giant turtles for thousands of years, and hunted male and female dragons in Baishui River. Every time I heard my father and elder brother talk about these things, I admire them very much. A hunter who can do one of these things in his lifetime is considered a This life is worthwhile."

Old Ding didn't turn his head, and said coldly: "You're mistaken, I didn't kill the double dragon, I only killed the male dragon. The female dragon was killed by hitting a rock by herself."

This detail is unheard of. Jiang Yuheng didn't know how to answer for a while, but after a while he heard Lao Ding say: "The hunter clan takes protecting the common people in the world as their mission. This ancient saying has been handed down to this day, and it is also the foundation of the hunter. It’s okay, but often the sword goes sideways, and it becomes a pleasure to kill. I used to kill, and now I have received retribution. Those things are in the past, so there is no need to mention it again.... Also, I am a pig now Er Jiang, don't call me senior anymore."

Seeing him slandering his past achievements like this, Jiang Yuheng was not very happy. After thinking about it, he reluctantly explained: "After all, there are very few hunters who take pleasure in killing. Most of them hide their achievements for the sake of the common people. Just like how a hydropower station was built in the middle reaches of the Baishui River after you killed Jiao Jiao back then. Isn’t this a benefit to the local people? For example, now, grizzly bears are hurting people in this mountain, causing fear in the hearts of the nearby people. Isn’t it right? Except for this harm?"

"Why does the grizzly bear kill and hurt others? Because people broke into its territory!" Old man Ding sneered, "Do you think that killing it will protect the residents of the town? You are wrong, what you are protecting is just the greed of some people." Just want it."

While talking, he could faintly see the light coming through the hole. Old man Ding stopped and turned around and said, "The grizzly bear is under my watch. Nothing can happen here. You can leave when you get back to town. If you still miss me I helped you, don’t tell anyone I’m here after you go out.”

Jiang Yuheng was a little surprised, he was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you willing to spend the rest of your life here as a... veterinarian?"

After all, he was too embarrassed to associate Piggy Carpenter with the famous Ding Jinhe, so he had to change his words.Old Man Ding frowned when he heard the words, and said impatiently: "The old man is alone now, and he has nothing else to worry about except the family dog. It's good to live here!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed, brushed away the withered vines at the entrance of the cave, and went out first.

Ding Yuheng stood for a moment, looked back at the deep cave, and followed.

Outside, Shi Laoliu and a group of old men searched for a long time, but found nothing. They were guessing wildly. After a while, after all, they came back unscathed, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted them, surrounding the two of them to ask questions.

Lao Ding told everyone that when he checked at the entrance of the cave, he found that there was a flashlight light inside, so he went in to pick him up for a while.Jiang Yuheng also explained why he fell into the hole.Seeing the tired faces of all the old men, he felt ashamed and said again and again: "It's my fault, I made everyone worry. I didn't expect to cause so much trouble for you this time!"

Shi Laoliu was so happy that he couldn't think of any words of reproach. He just waved his hands and said, "Team Leader Jiang, what are you talking about! You are suffering for the people in the town. People are fine now, more than anything else." Strong! Let’s go, come to my house today, have a drink at noon to calm your surprise!”

A group of people returned to Liangshi Town with a lot of noise. It was already afternoon. Lady Hua was also very happy to see that the person had been found. She hurriedly packed a table of food and greeted Jiang Yuheng and the old men who helped her to eat and drink.As a great hero of this event, Lao Ding didn't even drink tea, but insisted on going to Shen Baocheng's house to see his legs. Shi Laoliu couldn't stay, so he had to let him go.

When Lao Ding arrived at Shen's house, Qiu He was taking pictures of Shen Baocheng and Bai Chuan in front of the door.In order to study his new camera, Qiu He dragged Shen Baocheng and Bai Chuan to the pomegranate tree, and posed in various strange poses.The two hadn't taken many photos in the first half of their lives, and they were turned into two panting pieces of wood by Qiu He, and the cooperation between the two parties was very painful.

Seeing Lao Ding coming, Bai Chuan's expression darkened.Fortunately, he was pretending to be cool, and outsiders couldn't tell.Shen Baocheng, on the other hand, saw the outsider, and immediately became overjoyed, as if he was about to receive an amnesty, he repeatedly said: "No photo, no photo! Here is a guest!" He hurriedly greeted Lao Ding: "Brother, come in and sit! Listen! Said that the person has been found?"

Lao Ding nodded, Qiu He also greeted with a smile, and said, "Grandpa Ding, you gave me your puppy, and I haven't thanked you yet."

As soon as Lao Ding heard about the dog, his heart ached immediately, and he glanced at Bai Chuan with hatred, but the brat who stole the dog was not ashamed, and there was still a threat in his eyes when he looked over.

Lao Ding then said, "Thank you! Qiu He, do you have a girlfriend? If not, Grandpa Ding will introduce you to one!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Bai Chuan's face turned dark.Old man Ding finally tasted the long-lost joy of revenge.

Shen Baocheng dragged Lao Ding into the house, saying that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he wanted to drink a cup of two dishes.Lao Ding also had this idea, not only was there someone to talk with, but he could also look at his dog and show some power to some people by the way, so the two walked into the house while talking.However, Bai Chuan was worried about letting Qiuhe and the troublemaker stay in the same room, so he took him directly to his home.

That night, while Shen Baocheng and Lao Ding were chatting happily, Jiang Yuheng drove away from Liangshi Town.Because the rent was very generous, Hua Niangniang was very moved. Before leaving, she gave him a large bag of local specialties and urged him to come back when he was free.

But she never expected that in less than half a month, Jiang Yuheng would go back and forth. This time, it was not him alone, but a convoy.
