Chapter 172: The Savage and the Suffering Man

"It smells so good." The fat man stood on the raft and sucked his nose. A mellow smell of fish floated over from the shore and kept drilling into his nose and eyes.

He jumped ashore and took the iron pot down: "Let's just keep the pot and eat."

The skin of the big catfish had slightly cracked, revealing the snow-white fish meat inside, as delicate as fat. When I picked the fish skin with chopsticks, the fat man couldn't help but cheer, and saw a layer of milky white oil under the skin, trembling and smooth.

"This is the essence condensed, it looks like oil, but it is not greasy when eaten." The fat man picked it a little and put it in his mouth, and then he whispered for a long time before he sincerely admired it.

Big Braid and Qiqi originally thought that this was greasy, and they didn't dare to put the chopsticks on it. After hearing what the fat man said, they quickly tasted it. As expected, it was fat but not greasy, smooth and fragrant, and even more fragrant than fish.

In this way, only one big fish was left with a long thorn. Everyone was still feeling overwhelmed, so they drank the fish soup.

The fat man put down his chopsticks with satisfaction: "Nanwazi's tour ends here. Uncle Boss, please send them back to the village. Let's go into the mountain. Let's take action separately."

Xiao Qiqi patted her belly: "What should I do with my egrets? I want to take them home too."

"That's not possible. Egrets are migratory birds. They are about to fly away in autumn. Our winter is too cold and they can't survive the winter." The fat man's family is equipped with land, sea and air. He really doesn't want to raise anything anymore, let alone egrets are migratory birds.

A hint of disappointment appeared on Qiqi's face, and she ran to the little egrets and gently stroked their feathers: "Let's play with you when you have time."

After saying that, he untied two red-headed ropes from his braid and tied them to the egret's legs: "When I come back next year, I will recognize you at a glance. Will you still remember me?"

The two egrets' pointed mouths rubbed gently on Qiqi's arms, looking reluctant.

"Go!" Qiqi raised her hand, and two little egrets flew up in the air, circled for a few times, and then flew away with the two big birds.

The fat man sorted out his things, prepared the tent, cooking utensils, and kettle. Wang Sanpao opened the way in front, and the fat man and Ye Haibo followed him, and the three of them went up the mountain from the south road.

After entering the forest, the fat man was at least half a mountain pass, so he started to introduce Ye Haibo, and then Wang Sanpao would supplement the wrong places.

Keeping the Nanwazi side, people are rarely visited. When you enter the forest, you will see a primitive scenery. There are mushrooms everywhere in the forest, and there are dense wild fruits. Birds and beasts appear from time to time. Ye Haibo is dazzling and feels that this trip is worth it and he is full of confidence in future cooperation.

Wherever he arrived, Ye Haibo also borrowed Wang Sanpao's hunting rifle and shot a few pheasants. His shooting skills were actually quite good. Although they were not as wonderful as Wang Sanpao, they were much more clever than the fat man's two-five eyes.

Wang Sanpao also looked at him differently: "Xiao Ye, have you been in the army?"

Ye Haibo smiled and nodded: "That's right. I've played for a few years before, but I threw it away later."

It was late at night before camping. At the strong request of the fat man, Wang Sanpao made another beggar chicken. The fat man cooked a pot of fresh mushroom soup, and the three of them feasted.

Lying in the tent, the fat man closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly. In his dream, the fat man dreamed that he was standing on a raft and casting a net, scattering net after net, all of which were empty.

Later, a net caught a big fish, and the fat man pulled it up hard. Unexpectedly, the big fish under the water was even stronger than his, and he pulled the fat man into the water in one go. At this moment, the fat man woke up.

"There is something." Wang Sanpao's low voice came over. The fat man realized that it was him pulling his thigh.

The fat man got up and said, "What's the situation?" Now, he is not a young boy who has just entered the mountain. He has seen tigers and leopards and other things, so he is much more courageous.

"Don't make a sound, let's pretend to be asleep." Wang Sanpao was also a bit abnormal. Generally speaking, if you find a wild beast approaching, you should go out to fight and nest in a small tent, that's not a solution.

The fat man was puzzled, but he didn't ask again. He had a nearly admirable trust in Wang Sanpao.

The tent was filled with no fingers, and the outside of the tent was extremely quiet, which made people feel a little suffocated. Occasionally, a few sings of autumn insects were heard very clearly.

Hululu——, the fat man felt a little uncomfortable, so he opened his eyes and started snoring.

Time seemed to slow down in depression. In just over ten minutes, the fat man felt like a whole night had passed. In boredom, the fat man simply turned on a large-scale search in his mind.

The forest was too dark, and the fat man could not feel anything except darkness, so he had to continue to listen carefully. Now he only has ears and can communicate with the outside world.

Finally, a slight sound came into the fat man's ears. It should be the sound of falling leaves on the ground being trampled. Although it was very subtle, it was particularly clear on the quiet night.

The fat man's body trembled, and the red tassel spear was tightly held in his hand, ready to go. At this moment, his whole mind was concentrated on the tip of the spear.

Suddenly, he felt that Wang Sanpao pulled his arm, obviously signaling him not to do anything, so the fat man had to snore a few more depressed snoring again to express his protest.

It was creaking, and a light sound came from outside. It sounded like he was eating something. The fat man felt like he was gnawing. It seemed that half a pheasant was left at night, but it was cheaper than the beast outside.

After a long time, the sound of chewing disappeared, and then the fat man heard the thing outside start to approach the tent, and immediately tightened his arms again. If the wild animal was ungrateful, the fat man decided to give it some great taste.

A slit was slowly exposed in the tent curtain, and the hazy light outside was brighter than inside the tent, so the fat man could detect this change.

At this moment, a gentle click sound came from beside him, and then a white light shot out directly, and Wang Sanpao suddenly turned on the flashlight.

An extremely horrifying scene appeared in front of the fat man. Under the illuminated flashlight, a human-shaped face suddenly shook, and then, the curtain of the tent fell, and the sound of footsteps came from outside.

What kind of face is that? The long hair is dripping, and I can't see the face clearly. I can only make it based on my intuition that the other person is a person.

The fat man was stunned and forgot to chase him out. It was not until Wang Sanpao rushed out of the tent that he woke up and ran out with him.

Under the flashlight beam, an upright human figure disappeared into the bushes. He could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a circle of things around his waist, but his upper body and thighs were definitely not wearing anything.

"Savage!" The fat man stood there quietly, spitting out two words with difficulty. He had only heard of the legend of savage, but he could not believe it anyway. One day, there would be a savage who would face him, only one meter away.

"Is there really a savage?" Ye Haibo also came out of the tent. It was obvious that he had been woken up by Wang Sanpao, so he saw the scene just now.

Finally, the two people's eyes shot at Wang Sanpao together, and the fat man couldn't help asking: "Uncle San, what's going on? Have you heard of savages in the forest before?

Wang Sanpao lit a pot of cigarettes and sat on the grass and started to clatter. The fat man and Ye Haibo also picked up cigarettes and waited quietly for him to speak.

"I was watching outside just now, and I heard something. According to my judgment, I was sure that it was not a wild animal that was operating at night." Wang Sanpao whipped again, and the red pipe pot was very eye-catching at night.

"How do you know it's not a wild animal?" asked the fat man, but he soon complained about his excessive talk. Wang Sanpao has been hunting all his life. Is it strange that even the two-legged and four-legged ones can't hear it? Besides, the wild animal that is usually swims at night will reveal their traces.

Wang Sanpao did not answer the fat man's slightly naive question and continued: "I thought I was also a friend who was collecting herbs and hunting in the forest, so he shouted 'Friends in the mountains face to face'."

This fat man knew that it was a bit like a code. He had heard Wang Sanpao and Lao Yaozi talked to each other. I remember that Lao Yaozi seemed to say "put down the sword and gun and meet each other", which could avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings.

"But as soon as I made a sound, he ran away. I guess 80% of them were going to come back, so I woke you up and stay together." Wang Sanpao finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, knocked on the soles of his shoes a few times, and then used his feet to wipe out the sparks on the ground.

"Uncle Sanpao, who is that person?" Although the fat man understood what happened, he still didn't understand whether that person was a savage. If he was really a savage, then Daqingshan would be famous and would definitely surpass Shennongjia.

"Fatty, have you ever seen the play of the White-haired Girl?" Wang Sanpao asked back.

"You mean - that person was persecuted and then got into the ravine?" The fat man was shocked. If that were the case, it would be too horrible. How tenacious perseverance would be needed to survive alone in a primeval forest like Daqingshan!

"It's very likely." Wang Sanpao's tone was very affirmative: "Because more than ten years ago, I had never heard of savages or something on the mountain. But in the past five or six years, people have begun to talk about this. I saw bare-body savages or something on the mountain, and the more they spread, the more they became more and more amazing. At first I believed it, but once I watched the movie "White-Haired Girl in the Commune, I suddenly thought of this. From then on, I began to pay attention to it, but I never discovered it. This is the first time I have been."

After listening to his analysis, the fat man and Ye Haibo also nodded. This possibility is indeed the greatest. A few years ago, the shemale man was indistinguishable from the black and white, and it was possible that he was persecuted and fled into the mountains and never dared to come out again. Looking at the dark forest around him, Ye Haibo suddenly said quietly: "It seems that he is not a savage, but a miserable person."

There are often beasts in the old forest, and life will be threatened at any time. Moreover, it is very cold in winter, lacks food and clothing, and you have to hide when you see people. If that person is not a savage, he will be a miserable person.

The three of them sighed at the same time, and an idea popped up in their hearts: If they can meet again in the future, they must find a way to catch him and ask carefully. If they are not a savage, they can take him to see the light of day again.

After being disturbed by this incident, the fat man, who had always been heartless, felt like a stone was pressed down on his heart and had no sleepiness. As a result, he stood guard until dawn.

Wang Sanpao checked and the remaining half of the pheasant was indeed gnawed clean, and the blanket that the fat man spread on the ground as a dining table disappeared.

"It seems that it's definitely not a savage." The fat man is now convinced of Wang Sanpao's statement. The one he met last night was another "white-haired girl" who was forced into the forest.
