Yin Ling'er held her nose and refused. Ge Weihan looked her up and down: "Girl, do you think this place is too beautiful and you want to be buried here?"
Unexpectedly, Yin Ling'er was so confident that she patted her big bamboo basket and said, "Huh, as long as my little friends are here, those little bugs who don't know how to die dare not get close."
Lao Jiang immediately raised his thumb and said flatteringly: "That's that, who dares to bite our little princess of Miao territory!"
After going up the mountain, the ground was full of weeds and shrubs. We finally found a clear stream. It was noon and the weather was slightly hot, so we all fetched more water.
While Yin Ling'er drank the stream water, she raised her neck and fanned the wind and said, "This water is so sweet."
Looking at her smiling face, the fatigue and physical discomfort from the journey seemed to disappear, and I couldn't help but have a smile on my face.
We continued to drive for half an hour, and everyone was feeling a little hungry. We originally wanted to stop and eat something to cushion our stomachs.
However, at this moment, Lao Jiang's face suddenly darkened, and he waved his hand: "Wait a minute!"
Then he looked at me immediately: "Li Jinglan, did you feel anything along the way?"
My left eye twitched suddenly: "What does it feel like?"
Lao Jiang's voice was low and cold, and he said word by word: "The feeling of being followed!"
When I said this, I suddenly felt a little hairy in my heart. I recalled that when I was passing an old tree just now, there were clearly strange sounds of "thumping" and "thumping" coming from the grass behind me.
But when I looked, I found nothing.
At that time, I just thought that I was too vigilant. Now that Lao Jiang has said this, there must be something fishy.
The faces of the few of us remained calm, but our eyes glanced toward the Western Zhou Dynasty, secretly searching for suspicious figures around us, but found nothing.
After struggling like this for a while, Lao Jiang began to doubt his own judgment. He said to himself: "Maybe I am too worried."
Everyone had no choice but to continue on their way, but as we continued to move forward, the sounds of 'thumping' and 'thumping' appeared again.
Lao Jiang and I noticed it almost at the same time. He gestured to me and then quietly left the team.
This is the code word between unicorns, called: lower the hook.
It means that some people are acting as bait, and some people are secretly killing someone to turn around!
So I took Ge Weihan and Yin Ling'er and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. After a few minutes, when Lao Jiang coughed from behind, I knew he had succeeded, and then I led everyone to rush forward quickly.
The ironic result is that what we found was not an enemy, but a deer!
That little deer was the most common elk in the mountains. It was completely black and had two undeveloped antlers on its head. It looked so stupid and cute.
Especially at this moment, it is blinking at us with its big, clear and watery eyes, as if it doesn’t know why we are playing hide-and-seek with it.
Lao Jiang and I took a long breath. It turned out to be a false alarm.
Yin Ling'er smiled and waved to the little deer: "Go and play, little cutie, we won't disturb you anymore."
We continued walking up the creek, but the feeling of being followed still lingered, as if there were pairs of eyes staring at our backs, sending chills down our spines.
"Master, something is wrong..." I walked a few steps faster and whispered beside Lao Jiang.
"Is there something else in this mountain?" Lao Jiang frowned.
"How about I release Feifei to investigate." Yin Ling'er said as she prepared to untie the big bamboo basket behind her.
At this time, Ge Weihan, who was holding a telescope, suddenly shouted: "Look over there!"
We are all sharp-eyed people, and we soon followed the direction pointed by Ge Weihan and found another sneaky deer on the hillside on the left. The little deer was hiding in the grass, as if observing our movements from a high position.
"Mom, there's a deer on the left too." Yin Ling'er suddenly said.
"No, there's one on the right too!" This was Lao Jiang's voice.
For a moment, I felt as if I was surrounded by a herd of elk. In this easily hidden forest, there were invisible shadows patrolling back and forth. The sound of "thumping" and "thumping" was exactly what they were doing. The sound of hooves trampling through the grass.
We were in a sea of deer!
At this time, Yin Ling'er showed great vigilance and whispered: "Why are there so many deer? What do they want to do?"
As Yin Ling'er's words fell, pairs of eyes lit up in the dense forest, like glowing light bulbs.
That's obviously more deer!
A creepy feeling crawled up our bodies from the soles of our feet, but even if we knew something was going wrong, there must be a monster, we couldn't do anything because we had never seen anything like this happen before.
Lao Jiang was the backbone of the team. He made a gesture towards the front with a dark face, which meant: Keep moving forward!
"What about these deer?" I asked in a low voice.
"Although I don't know why they are following them, they have no intention of harming us at the moment. Just follow them! Let's wait and see what happens." Lao Jiang sighed.
As expected by Lao Jiang, the dozen or so deer did not attack when they saw us leaving.
Instead, they walked with their little hooves and kept a distance from us, as if Wawu Mountain was their territory and we were thieves who broke in...
In the meantime, I want to ask Ge Weihan, isn't he the president of West China University? Having studied the flora and fauna of Sichuan and Sichuan for decades, do you know what happened to these deer?
Is the collective possessed? Or stole their cubs?
You've been following me for half an hour and you still haven't left?
But the strange thing is that since seeing this herd of deer, Ge Weihan was like taking dumb medicine. He didn't speak the whole way, and he didn't listen to my words. His lips were moving up and down, as if he was talking to himself, but his voice was too soft.
This state is extremely abnormal for him!
I couldn't help but feel wary and walked over to hear what he was talking to himself.
At this moment, the shadows of countless leaves intertwined into grimaces, reflecting on Ge Weihan's body. This time I heard him clearly.
What he kept repeating was: Impossible, how is this possible?
I patted his shoulder in confusion: "What's impossible?"
Only then did Ge Weihan come back to his senses. Everyone in front of him turned their curious eyes to him. He took a deep breath and said, "That's it. If I guess correctly, the group of deer we just encountered is called: black muntjac!" Like the giant panda, although the world is huge, it is only found in China.”
"The black muntjac is as black as ink, with small horns on its head, and a white snow line on its tail. It is very beautiful. An adult black muntjac can even grow as tall as a cow or horse! But there are very few black muntjacs all over the country. Unexpectedly, in There are so many black muntjacs living on this unvisited Wawu Mountain..."
Thinking back to the cute little deer we bumped into just now, it looked exactly like what Geweihan described. Could it be that this thing is really a black muntjac?
