Chapter 14 Missing (Part 1)

The prairie with yellow grass is like a undulating yellow-green sea. The grass is almost high, but the dunes under the grass are uneven and the terrain is staggered. Most areas on the grassland have different ups and downs, and it is difficult to distinguish from a distance or a high place. There are also rocky mountains or sandy mountains on the grassland. Because the sky is high and the earth is wide, from a distance, it only feels that the sky and the earth are connected and the ups and downs are continuous. Only when you get close to it can you feel the large slope gap.

The traces of the cattle running and escaping disappeared on an uphill slope. We hurriedly took the horse to search carefully and saw the messy hoof prints on the grass and there were traces of gnawing on the surrounding grass, which showed that the cattle had recovered from their terror after they escaped here and stayed here to gnaw on the grass.

But strangely, the large herd of cattle disappeared out of thin air here. Even if the herd of a wolf attack here, it would leave traces of hoof marks. After all, we chased each other. What force can make the herd disappear in such a short time? I immediately asked Ding Sitian: "Is there a tornado on your grassland? The strong wind has swept away the cattle?"

Ding Sitian said: "I heard that there are occasionally tornados in Outer Mongolia in Mobei. The grassland here is very rare, and how big is it tornados that can sweep hundreds of cows? If there is a tornado, it will be clear today and we should have seen it from afar. Besides, there is no trace of wind destroying the grassland nearby." After saying that, she turned to ask the old sheepskin. After all, the old sheepskin has lived on the grassland for decades and has a much richer experience than our educated youth.

The old sheepskin didn't say anything. He came down from the horse's back and touched the cow's hoof prints on the ground for a long time. Finally, he sat dejectedly on the ground with tears flowing on his face. It seemed that the more than 200 herding cattle must have been swallowed by the "demon dragon" on the grassland. The old sheepskin cried and wiped tears and beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Why did Changshengtian punish the miserable shepherds like this?" His brothers disappeared after they arrived here a few decades ago. Now the herding cattle are gone here. These cattle are the collective property of the brigade. If they hadn't been drunk yesterday and had not strengthened the cattle pen, such a thing would have happened. The responsibility would have been too great. Moreover, once the superiors investigated, they could not explain clearly. They said that the cattle were swallowed by the dragon and there was no hair left. Who would have believed it?

Ding Sitian was also so anxious that she burst into tears. She looked strong on the outside but was actually sensitive on the inside. She was as fragile as an ordinary girl. She couldn't bear such a big blow. Seeing this, the fat man and I were very anxious for them. I turned over and dismounted and persuaded the old sheepskin: "I saw that now, we can't get a good deal if we don't find the whereabouts of these cattle. It's useless to be anxious now. Let's go around and look for them quickly. Even if the grassland is turned upside down, I have to find them." In addition, I don't believe in the legend of demon dragons devouring humans and animals. I took a step back and said, even if the grass is

There is really a beast hidden deep in the original depth that looks like a dragon. It cannot swallow so many cattle in one bite. Does it have such a big appetite? If you take another step back, you have to spit bones, right? Finding the cow bones can also give you an explanation. There are so many hats these days, and you can't find the whereabouts of the cow. Just put a hat on the old man and Ding Sitian. That's a sin that can't be taken away. Even if you are afraid, you can't avoid some things. At the critical moment, you can only grit your teeth and hold on. If you have the ability to cry, you might as well continue looking for the cow.

The fat man also advised: "Si Tian, ​​stop crying. In my impression, you are not the kind of girl who can only cry and complain and do not use anything. I think back then, we were all the Red Guards who shocked the five continents, turbulently, and roared in the world, swept through all monsters and monsters. You also said that in the future, you want to be a soldier of the People's Liberation Army Art Troupe who is full of outstanding wisdom and vision, with profound theoretical thinking and unyielding fighting spirit. Don't shout like Hu Bayi all day long that you are innocent. Don't forget that death does not belong to the working class."

Ding Sitian burst into tears and laughed when the fat man said, wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes, death does not belong to the working class." After our persuasion, she and Lao Sheepsie finally realized the situation. The only person in this world who can save her fate is herself. It is meaningless to blame others. Now there is no other way. If you throw the cow, you can only rely on yourself to continue looking for it. It is impossible to cry back the cow.

In fact, I still have an idea that I didn't tell everyone. Yesterday, Lao Sheepsie talked about his brother being forced to lead the way to the "Baiyan Cave" decades ago. He mentioned that the bandits from the mountains carried a big box. I thought this was very strange at that time. The time when this happened was very consistent with the time that Aunt Four said. Maybe it was the bandits who dug out of the mountains to the grassland. I can't guess the motivation for their choice of grassland, but there was 80% valuable gold in that box of Huang Daxian. If the cattle herds really couldn't find it, if they could find gold, it might make Ding Sitian and Lao Sheepsie lose their merits.

Because I have heard too many legends about gold mines in Xing'anling, the idea of ​​imagining the "Hundred Eye Cave" as the treasure house of the bandits' treasures has already preconceived in my mind and formed a subjective impression. Therefore, all subsequent imagination and speculation are based on this as the premise. I think that as for those missing, they are probably killed by the bandits guarding the treasures and silenced them. In the end, there was an internal struggle in the "Mi'er Club". In order to compete for gold and the four olds in the ancient tomb, they fought to the death. This is probably the case. At that time, I had a shallow understanding and did not think deeply about everything. I was very satisfied with my inference, and I felt that this was the case.

On the side of this grassy slope is a valley. A ghost place with ridges and ridges along the way is the "Baiyan Cave". We are not giving up for the time being, and ride our horses again, wandering around the neighborhood to continue searching for clues.

It was already afternoon, and we had just got on the horse's back for a while, the horses suddenly seemed extremely uneasy. "Ye'er, Xiao'er" neighed. There seemed to be something unusual in the air around them, which made them anxious and panic. I was worried that I would throw me off the horse and throw me off. I quickly grabbed the reins with one hand and grabbed the saddle ring with the other hand, but the horse did not sway, but just circled around. I saw that the other three horses were also in this situation, and I crowded and shouted to the old sheepskin: "Old man, what's wrong with these horses?"

The old sheepskin tightened the reins and took the panicked horses, telling us that the horses on the grassland are spiritual and more sensitive than human intuition. They must feel that there are terrible things nearby, and these things are unsatisfactory. The old sheepskin's mount is a retired military horse, one taller than an ordinary Mongolian horse. Although the horse's teeth are long, its psychological quality is much calmer than that of an ordinary horse. With it, the other three horses will not be distracted for a while.

The horse's emotions stabilized slightly. We took the opportunity to look around and wanted to see what was going on on the surrounding grassland. Maybe it would have something to do with the disappearance of more than a hundred cattle. For a moment, everyone's nerves were like a clockwork full of strings, and they became tense. In order to prevent the grassland wolf, the old sheepskin also brought an old hunting rifle. The old sheepskin had Kangxi's sword to defend himself, so he asked the fat man: "Will the fat kid fire a gun?"
