Live the leisurely life of the mountain village

Chapter 317 Footprints
We walked for most of the morning, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the forest at noon.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Huayuelou did not complain less, but compared to yesterday, he obviously got used to it a lot.

At least it wasn't like yesterday, yelling at every turn to stop and rest.

After seeing that they were about to enter the forest within 10 minutes, Zhuang Qiu told some fans some precautions, and everyone entered the forest with their luggage on their backs.

Entering the forest again, Zhuang Qiu didn't have any emotion in his heart. On the contrary, several fans looked very novel and excited looking at the lush forest.

After walking for another ten minutes or so, Zhuang Qiu finally found a more suitable place to set up camp.

After a brief rest, everyone put away tents and the like, and then began to have a simple lunch.

Due to the wide range of the forest this time, in order to take care of a few fans, and now that the altitude has risen a bit, Zhuang Qiu decided to let everyone rest in place and continue to set off the next day in the afternoon, as a way to get used to it Adventure life.

The expedition team that followed them had no objection, after all, the altitude of the Tianshan Mountains was really high, and they also needed to get used to it.

So the two expedition teams combined their daily routines and decided to explore together.

After lunch, Huayuelou was still curious about the forest, so she dragged Zhuang Qiu around.

Knowing that Huayuelou was tired of eating dry food every day these days, Zhuang Qiu thought about it, and found a small stream in the evening, caught a lot of fish and shrimp, and improved the food for everyone.

The night passed so peacefully. In the morning, it was just dawn, and everyone was putting their packed things on their bodies and continuing to move forward, but Zhuang Qiu saw the chaotic footsteps in front of him, and stopped immediately.

"Be careful, everyone, don't go any further, there are traces of beasts here!"

After Zhuang Qiu said a word, everyone was a little startled. Sun Changcheng, the captain of the expedition team, even came to Zhuang Qiu's side, and followed him to take a look or two.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but after looking at it, they realized that there was a series of messy and disorderly beast footprints not far away in front of them.

A few inexperienced fans became a little scared on the spot.

Those expedition members had obviously experienced it before. After studying these things together with Zhuang Qiu, it was confirmed that these footprints belonged to brown bears.

"This is the footprint of a brown bear," Zhuang Qiu said with a serious expression, "Everyone should not move forward for the time being, as there is a high possibility of danger ahead."

Huayuelou didn't know much about brown bears. Seeing Zhuang Qiu and the members of the expedition team look so serious, she subconsciously asked.

"Are brown bears dangerous?"

"Of course it's dangerous."

Zhuang Qiu glanced at Huayuelou who raised the question, and explained to everyone: "Even the smallest brown bear weighs twice as much as an adult, or even more."

"Besides, brown bears are omnivores. They not only eat food but also meat. Their claws are very sharp, and their bite force is so powerful that they are terrifying. So if you encounter a brown bear, trying to fight it is no different. So he killed himself."

After listening to Zhuang Qiu's popular science, Huayuelou blinked: "But I heard that if you meet a bear, you just need to lie there and pretend to be dead. Why don't we lie there?"

"What you think is really naive."

Zhuang Qiu didn't speak, but Sun Changcheng, the leader of the expedition team next to him, said at this time: "Brown bears are omnivorous animals that can even eat carrion. If you encounter a brown bear, you should give up pretending to be dead. If you encounter a hungry Brown bear, if you pretend to be dead, you are really dead."

Huayuelou couldn't help but scratch her head in embarrassment, "I really don't know about this..."

"But having said that, if we meet a brown bear, why don't we run straight away, or climb up a tree?"

"Don't think too much about running away or climbing a tree."

Zhuang Qiu directly shattered Huayuelou's fantasy: "Brown bears can reach a maximum speed of [-] kilometers per hour, and it's even in the woodland with the most complicated terrain. Do you think you can outrun it?"

"Besides, you can climb trees. In fact, bears can also climb trees. Except for those brown bears that cannot climb trees because they are too big, can you guarantee that none of the brown bears you meet can climb trees?"

"I can't run, I can't hide, I can't do anything, so I have to wait to die when I meet a brown bear?"

"So now that we have found traces of brown bears, for safety reasons, we should retreat to the edge of the forest. It is the best choice not to see them as much as possible."

Looking helpless at Huayuelou, Zhuang Qiu pointed to the traces in front of him: "Otherwise, if we really encounter these brown bears, we have no other choice but to find a way for them to find that we are not a threat. way."

Mid-Autumn Festival has said so, and brown bears are indeed difficult to deal with. In order to save their lives, everyone naturally packed up everything and retreated with the expedition team.

However, Zhuang Qiu did not choose to retreat. He asked everyone to follow the expedition team to the surrounding area of ​​the forest and set up camp, while he planned to stay here alone to find available ingredients for cooking.

"There are bears moving in front of Master Zhuang, you have to be careful!"

"Yeah, I was a little scared when I heard what you said just now, you must not go forward, it doesn't matter if we can't find the ingredients and we still eat dry food!"

Before retreating, some fans asked Zhuang Qiu worriedly.

Zhuang Qiu smiled and waved his hands: "Thank you for your concern, I don't want to go forward, you should retreat first."

Then everyone followed the expedition team and evacuated.

Only when Huayuelou was about to leave, seeing Zhuang Qiu looking around alone, couldn't help but leaned in front of Zhuang Qiu.

"Brother Zhuang, since you are looking for ingredients, you might as well keep me, I can still help a little!"

Seeing Huayuelou's ignorance and meaninglessness, and not realizing how terrible it would be to meet a brown bear at all, Zhuang Qiu shrugged helplessly, picked up Huayuelou's collar, and carried the chick It seemed that he was brought to the front of the crowd not far away.

"Hey hey I say Brother Zhuang!"

Huayuelou yelled shamelessly: "Everyone is watching here, even if you don't want me to go with you, you can't do that..."

"In order to prevent brown bears from appearing in front, it will be safer if there is one less person, and it will be easier for me to get away if I am alone, so don't make more trouble, go back quickly."
