On the way to the lake, they found a total of three such traps. When they got to the last one, there were only some bamboos and thorny branches and grass twigs in it. It seemed that the poisonous grass powder they brought was almost used up.
There were two burnt fires by the lake. Feng went to check them out, then walked around the lake for a while and came back with anger on his face, "This group of shameless people, they spread medicine powder in the lake, and the fish in the lake are all belly up."
He threw two fish on the ground. They did not struggle or jump around as usual when out of water. Only their bellies bulged from time to time, indicating that they were still alive.
Ji Lang was also a little angry. This was too immoral. After this happened, the water supply in the tribe would become a problem. Qing Jiu on the side also reacted and told Xiao Ying to take another hunter back to the tribe and tell them not to use the water casually today.
Qing Jiu blew the whistle, and soon, several hunting teams scattered around gathered together.
The two piles of ash were not there yesterday afternoon, which means those people appeared at night, and it must have been the second half of the night, otherwise the dogs would have noticed something of their movements while they were still awake.
"Walk in front of me at your own pace. If you feel anything is wrong, come to me." Qing Jiu said to Ji Lang. It was not long after dawn. In order not to attract attention, those people would not run around in the mountains all the time. They should have a hiding place. Qing Jiu divided the original six teams into four teams and began to investigate around the lake.
Ji Lang nodded, "I know." He estimated that he would never be able to catch up with these people's ability to move around in the mountains in his lifetime, but now they are much faster than before, and he can barely keep up in a short period of time.
Knowing that Qing Jiu was worried, he comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm not a child."
Qing Jiu sighed in his heart. It was not that he looked down on Ji Lang, but this man was sometimes too careless and would unconsciously think the best of strangers. His ability to protect himself was not as good as that of a native child.
But I also hate him being like this.
In Jilang’s mind, all human beings are of the same race, but in the minds of many primitive inhabitants, except for the people in the tribe, other groups of people are competitors or even "prey."
After running around in the mountains until the evening, the group returned to the lake.
"We found something strange in a place separated by two mountains, but there is a cliff behind that place, and it is very steep. Unless they jumped down from there, I can't think of where they can hide." Sa Shi said. She was assigned to the dayan team. Several people searched all the way out and finally got a clue, but it was cut off in an instant. Even Ermao, who was with them, sniffed at the edge of the cliff for a long time, and then walked around in confusion.
Most of the cave dwellings in the tribe are equipped with water tanks, but now that the weather is hot, water consumption has increased and everyone has gotten used to using pipes.
Judging from the fish in the lake, the lethality of this poison powder should not be that great. One reason is that the lake is quite large, and if it is spread by spraying the drug, a very large amount would be needed, and since it is running water, it would be even more difficult.
The bad thing is that these people must have known the location of the water source in the tribe. Most of the medicine powder was sprinkled next to the water pipe. It would take at least a day or two for the water to become clean.
One or two days wouldn't really matter much, but everyone just felt aggrieved and they had to catch these bastards and give them a good beating.
Everyone thought about it and decided that since they couldn't find any other clues, they would just wait for a couple of days to see where the person disappeared. It was very likely that he had hidden himself.
Sure enough, after changing shifts the next day, I finally saw the true faces of these people.
The sun was strong in the afternoon, making the ground warm. There was a slight breeze, which was quite comfortable. Sa Shi squatted under a big tree at the edge of the cliff, feeling sleepy and wanted to yawn.
Sanmao, who had been lying lazily on the side, suddenly stood up with his ears erect, as if he had discovered something.
Just as Sa Shi was about to speak, Xi Shi immediately said "hush" in a low voice.
He walked towards the edge of the cliff quietly, and Sa Shi followed behind him.
She didn't even think about whether those people appeared. After all, the cliff here was so steep, and there were no vines or anything to help. She thought it was a wild animal like a snake.
As a result, when I looked out, I saw seven or eight people, some of them were as thin as skeletons, moving nimbly back and forth on the bumps and potholes on the cliff that were not as big as a palm, as if they were moving on flat ground.
Wow, this is comparable to the mountain goats.
Hidden by leaves and grass, those people might have been concentrating on climbing and had not realized that they had been discovered.
Sa Shi looked around, picked up a stone the size of his head, and held it just above one of the men's heads, "Hey, come up."
The man was so frightened that he lost his balance and nearly fell down. Fortunately, someone next to him was quick-witted and pulled him up. He was able to climb up the mountain, like a gecko, motionless.
"Not coming up? Then I'll smash you down with stones. I've prepared dozens of them, so think carefully." These people didn't move for a long time, and Sa Shi continued to scare them, but in fact she only had a stone in her hand.
These people didn't believe it and wanted to run down. Sa Shi just threw the stone down. The stone rolled down his side, and the turned up soil made it difficult for them to see where to land.
"I...we'll come up, don't throw it yet." The people below shouted.
Sa Shi squatted down and stopped looking for stones. He picked up a lump of mud and tossed it in his hand as if he was playing with it.
The people who saw this scene felt that what the female hunter was holding in her hand was not a stone, but their hearts, and they climbed up tremblingly.
