Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 265 New discovery, underground cave

This guy was chubby and had a round face. When he noticed Lin Heng and the two of them, they tilted their heads and looked at each other, seemingly a little confused.

That seems to be saying what are you looking at.

Snap! !
As if he didn't think Lin Heng and the two were a threat, this guy slapped a plum blossom fish over in the water, caught it, and went to the river bank to eat it against a big tree.

"Did you say this guy also eats fish? Didn't you say he only eats bamboo?"

Lin Yue didn't understand. After two days of searching, the result was a giant panda. It was really unacceptable.

"This thing is omnivorous, and it's normal to eat fish occasionally."

Lin Heng shook his head and looked helplessly at another river channel. Every bear has its own territory. With giant pandas, there are probably no black bears nearby.

No wonder the Liu family and his son didn't come here. Maybe they already knew that there were no black bears here.

The two quietly stepped back, away from the giant panda's territory. Although it has a cat in its name, it is a real bear and should not be taken lightly just because it eats bamboo.

Lin Heng looked at the footprints on the ground, then checked around, and shook his head uncertainly: "I can't say for sure. Let's go up and have a look. If the black bear is gone, there should be other traces."

When he saw the footprints next to him, he was shocked. It was also a huge bear footprint.

And there's a river across it, so it's unrealistic for that panda to be that fat.

Lin Heng came over to check and found a half-eaten plump plump fish, estimated to weigh two or three pounds.

"Wang Wang~"

Some fish can charge up, while others are knocked down by the water halfway through the charge.

Lin Heng thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the tributary on the other side of the river and have a look, and then make a decision."

Suddenly Xiong Ba, who was running in front, called out and turned to look at Lin Heng.

After walking up one kilometer, the footprints gradually became sparse and the direction led to the mountain forest. The black bear should have entered the mountain from here.

The water surface where these two rivers intersect is very wide, about ten meters wide from left to right, with a bottomless pit in the middle made by the water flow, which looks bright and green.

Walk a little higher to continue looking for black bears.

Lin Heng came over, and Lin Yue pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "It feels like the footprints appeared recently. Could it be that the black bears here are gone?"

"This fish is so powerful, even Shipi can charge at it."

Soon Xiong Ba made a new discovery. Lin Heng walked over and took a look. It was a pile of black bear feces, a long black strip with almost no fiber.

There are also a lot of plum fish here, and you can clearly see groups of fish swimming here in the water, sprinting towards higher positions.

"What is it?"

I didn't notice the panda poop last time, otherwise I should have been able to distinguish it.

Lin Heng rubbed Xiong Ba's head and grinned.

Lin Yue was shocked and a little confused at the same time: "Brother, do you think these are also the footprints of that panda? I heard that bears have their own territories and usually live alone."

Soon they came to the intersection of the two rivers. They were now on the left bank, and continuing along the right bank was the location where the giant panda was just discovered.

In his previous life, he had seen documentaries. Many bears would go to the river to eat fish in April and May, and they had no intention of fighting.

Pandas eat the most bamboo, so their feces are yellow with a lot of bamboo fibers. The food that black bears eat is more complex, and their feces don't have that much fiber.

Lin Heng was also a little amazed. One by one, the fish rushed upward desperately. This is a scene that can only be seen in documentaries.

"Does that mean there are black bears here?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

"Brother, come and take a look, someone seems to have been here."

"There are bears here too?" Lin Heng opened his mouth wide, a little unbelievable.

"really."

Lin Yue nodded, then continued walking back until he came to a place where the river was relatively narrow, then took off his pants and crossed the river from here to the other side.

Lin Heng shook his head: "The preliminary judgment should be that we will look for other clues and confirm this time."

Lin Yue pointed at the stone skin not far away and said.

"It's definitely a black bear."

The two of them followed the bear's footprints with the dog up, and the more they went up the river, the more footprints there were, indicating that there were indeed black bears in this area a few days ago.

The river flowing out from the left bank flows down a stone surface with a temperature of more than 30 degrees. The water is very fast, but the fish below can still go up against the current.

"Wang~"

"That's okay." Lin Yue said.

They also saw human footprints, which made the two of them feel cold. The hope that someone had come and found the bear was slim.

"Well."

At this time, Lin Yue discovered something new not far away.

Lin Heng shook his head, pointed to the bear footprints on the ground and said, "Obviously not, this footprint is smaller. Although bears are solitary animals, they may not be unable to get close to each other when eating a big meal."

"But this is indeed bad news. Regardless of whether the black bear has been hit or not, if the shot is fired, it will probably not come back again." Lin Heng sighed again.

After leading Xiong Ba back far enough, Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng and asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"

"It seems there is still hope. No blood stains were found." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded: "There is indeed hope. Let's go up the mountain and look for it."

After going up the mountain, the two separated slightly and searched along the hillside.

Before I knew it, the sun had reached my head and it was already noon. Since entering the forest, it was difficult to determine where the bear was, and Xiong Ba could only find the general direction.

"Hey, are there gorals or takin here?"

As he walked, Lin Heng suddenly discovered that the nearby bushes had signs of being eaten. Judging from the marks, it was definitely done by herbivores, but he didn't know what kind of animals they were.

After searching for a long time, he found no trace, and Xiongba didn't find it either. It was obvious that they didn't come out in broad daylight. Lin Heng also knew that these animals usually came out to eat grass in the early morning and evening.

It was already noon before I knew it. It was difficult to follow the traces of the brown bear, and no other prey was found. It was extremely difficult.

Lin Heng was not in a hurry and took out the rope from his backpack to set up rope traps. He arranged some along the animal paths and just came to check on the situation every day. It was easier than tracking by himself and it also increased the probability of capture.

After walking another two kilometers, Lin Heng gave up. The black bear's range of activities was too large, and there was little hope of tracking it.

He set some traps along the way and then found a direction to go down to the river.

The river valley here is narrower, and there are many tall trees growing there. You can't see the water flow clearly on the mountain and can only hear the sound.

"Wang Wang~"

On the way down to the river, Xiongba made another discovery. Lin Heng came over and saw a pile of black bean-like feces. This was a beast's path down the mountain to drink water.

This kind of feces can exclude forest musk deer. As for the specific animal, Lin Heng can only make a rough judgment and cannot make a detailed distinction.

Lin Heng set up a rope trap on the animal track and went down into the river. The river here became turbulent, and the pebbles in the river were washed away by the water, causing white waves to form on the stones.

Many plum blossoms can be seen in the fast river. They like this fast and oxygen-rich river water. It is estimated that this place should be the destination.

Lin Heng saw a lot of big plum fish. He took off his shoes and went to the water's edge with a wooden stick to hit the fish. After a look, he hit the fish with the stick, and soon the fish flipped over.

Xiongba could obviously catch it himself, but he just waited to eat it ready-made. Lin Heng knocked it unconscious and picked it up downstream and put it on the shore. I caught six or seven plum blossoms, each weighing about two to three pounds. The small plum blossoms did not have the strength to come to such a place.

"It's a pity that I can't bring my family here."

Lin Heng lit a fire under a huge pecan tree and started grilling fish. The scenery in the mountains was so beautiful, like a paradise, but it was a pity that he could not bring his family to enjoy it.

The sun is very hot today, but the river is very cool. The clean and beautiful blue and black stones, the rushing river water, the green grass, flowers and soft sand are all so beautiful.

Lin Heng sat under the tree grilling fish and enjoying the wonderful scenery.

His fish has been grilled, but his elder brother hasn't come down yet. The promised time should be almost there. Lin Heng doesn't know what's going on.

After he had filled his stomach, it was almost two o'clock before he finally saw a young man coming down from the river, holding a white rice seed in his hand.

"Damn it, why did I go upstream and hit a white rice seed?"

Lin Heng was a little surprised. Bai Mizi is not easy to beat. He is a newbie with a lot of aura.

Lin Yue chuckled: "I went down to the river first and then walked up the river. Suddenly I met Bai Mizi drinking water by the pool. When this thing saw me, it was so scared that it climbed up the tree. I raised my gun and shot him to death. ”

"Great!"

Lin Heng picked it up and took a look. The white rice was about ten kilograms, not particularly big. But it was indeed a huge gain for his eldest brother.

"I made another discovery upstream. There is a big cave there. Do you want to explore it?"

Lin Yue smiled and asked again.

"Okay, we'll go after you finish the meal." Lin Heng nodded, raised the almost extinguished fire, and grilled two fish for his eldest brother.

While giving his eldest brother a meal, Lin Heng went to get some more rosin. He saw a lot of it when he just came down.

Split the tip of a wooden stick into four pieces, add some freshly cut pine wood, and then add some rosin to create a torch.

Lin Heng made four torches, and he and his eldest brother each had two.

After Lin Yue finished eating, the two of them and the dog set off together. After walking two kilometers up the river, they needed to go to the mountains on the right bank.

After walking five or six hundred meters, a huge entrance to the cave appeared diagonally downward on a mountain about a hundred meters high from the river.

The entrance is more than three meters high and looks pitch black, making it impossible to see clearly what is inside, giving people an inexplicable sense of fear.

Lin Yue pointed to the cave and said, "This is it. I didn't dare to go in alone at that time."

"Then let's light the torch and go have a look."

Lin Heng opened his backpack and took out a rope to tie the male bully and pull it to prevent it from running around and causing danger. Then pour a little gasoline on the torch and light it easily.

After the two torches were lit, the two placed their things at the edge of the cave. The eldest brother took a shotgun, and he led Xiongba in front with a flashlight.

Only a flashlight is unsafe. A torch can detect the oxygen inside and avoid danger.

This cave is downwards. As soon as you walk in, you feel a cold feeling. The temperature is obviously much colder than outside.

There were no creatures like bats in the cave. As we walked about ten meters inside, water began to drip from it. When we shined a flashlight on it, there were all gray-white conical stalactites, which were obviously formed by dripping water.

"This stone is really weird."

Lin Yue looked at the clusters of stone flowers, stone hairs, and stone waterfalls on the cave wall and said in shock.

"Go inside and have a look." Lin Heng smiled. This kind of cave made him a little disappointed. There was nothing valuable and he didn't see any good ornaments.

Although I didn't see anything good, the size of the cave was a bit beyond people's expectations. After walking for 20 meters, the torch was still burning.

After walking five meters forward, the cave turned a corner, and piles of yellow round stones appeared on the ground, which were much prettier than the gray-white ones.

"Oh my god, this isn't over yet, how deep this is."

After walking for another two minutes, Lin Yue was surprised and said, this cave must be too big.

"Look here, this is citrine."

Lin Heng suddenly saw a brown-yellow crystal lump growing on the stone wall. There were many little finger-sized crystal pillars on it, glowing with an alluring brilliance.

"There's one here too. The color of this cave has started to turn red. It's so strange."

Lin Yue was a little surprised and a little scared. This environment looked a bit scary.

"Don't be afraid, this is normal." Lin Heng shook his head, knowing the principle of formation and not panicking at all.

"Brother, hold the torch for me and I'll try to break it off."

Lin Heng handed over the torch and flashlight, and after breaking it with both hands, he found that it was motionless. He looked around and found a stone, which he smashed twice.

With just a click, the cluster of citrine stones fell down. Lin Heng grinned and said: "This thing is very good whether you play with it or sell it for money. Brother, I will kill whichever one you like."

"it is good."

Lin Yue searched around and found a thick citrine pillar that was also very beautiful.

Lin Heng took off his coat and put it on top, and it was broken by a stone.

Putting the crystal on the ground temporarily, the two continued to move forward.

There is already a lot of sand and gravel in the ground here, and the water dripping is getting more and more serious. There is not much water on the ground because the cave is diagonally downward.

Lin Heng found a few small yellow nephrite-like stones in the gravel. He was looking for Lin Yue when he suddenly said, "Brother, is this the chicken blood stone you mentioned?"

Lin Yue came over with an oval-shaped light red stone and showed it to Lin Heng.

"Yes, it is indeed bloodstone, but its quality is average."

Lin Heng was shocked. There were a lot of good things in this cave.

"Then let's look carefully." Lin Yue said happily.

Lin Heng searched everywhere and found two small light red soapstones, only about the size of a thumb.

Unable to find the two of them, we continued walking forward. After going down the slope, the slope became very gentle. There was some water on the ground and it was freezing cold.

Lin Heng rummaged for a while and suddenly saw a long blood-colored stone. He was immediately ecstatic. Bloodstones of this level are rare.

His bloodstone is thirty centimeters long and only about five centimeters thick. It looks a bit like a rounded rectangle.

"Brother, I also found a good stone."

Lin Yue also said happily. He was holding a large duck egg-shaped chicken blood stone in his hand, half blood red and half red yellow.

The length of this large goose egg is about fifteen centimeters, and the widest part in the middle is six or seven centimeters. It looks like a large goose egg.

"Yours is in better shape. You can take it home and keep it as a townhouse, and you can sell it later."

Lin Heng said with a smile, it was worth coming down from the cave. After overcoming the instinctive fear, there is indeed a big gain.

"Let's go ahead and take a look. Maybe there are others."

Lin Yue also became happy and full of interest in exploring.

Lin Heng nodded, and the two relit a torch and continued walking forward.

After a while, a brand new scene appeared in front of them, and they were shocked by the scenery in front of them.
