Although we didn't get along for a long time, we had a deep affection for the old man. He admitted that he was kind, gentle, and a good person, and we shared the same sorrow in the cave. If he had any problems, we would be very guilty.

Everyone's expressions were heavy, and there was an oppressive silence in the room.

"Lao Lu is Japanese. If Xiao Lei's inference is correct, then the people involved may not be Japanese," Crazy Six said, looking at the female translator and two other Japanese women, as if he meant something. .

The Japanese female translator immediately heard the implication of Crazy Six and said firmly: "I can assure you that that Lao Lu is definitely not one of our group. As for his true background, we also know nothing about him. Please Believe us, our purpose has been fully told to everyone, there is nothing to hide, we have been through life and death so many times, and Xiao Lei has saved us, we will not do anything to disgrace our friends,"

After listening to what the female translator said, we all nodded. Actually, thinking about it, there is no need for the female translator and the others to engage in any conspiracy.

Crazy Liu also felt that his words were a bit too harsh, so he softened his tone and said: "Well, I believe what you are telling the truth, but this old Lu is too weird. I don't know what the background is, and I always feel that The disappearance of Mr. Ouyang must have something to do with that old Lu,"

We all feel the same, but what's the use? What should we do next and how can we find the old man?

Dark clouds were rolling outside, thunder was rumbling, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. We stood at the window and looked at the pouring rain outside, all lost in thought.

At this moment, Xiao Lei suddenly pointed to the hillside outside the window and shouted loudly: "Look, isn't that Mr. Ouyang?"

All of us were shocked and quickly squeezed to the window to look out. Sure enough, on the opposite hillside, there was a person stumbling towards the hotel in the heavy rain. That familiar figure should be Old Man Ouyang. , and he seemed to be holding something in his arms, we guessed it was the "Monkey Eagle".

Before we could react, we heard Xiao Lei say: "You guys wait here, I'll pick him up." Seeing Xiao Lei running down, I followed closely behind.

We borrowed three raincoats from the hotel front desk and ran into the heavy rain.

Anyone who has experienced wild survival knows that it is very dangerous to walk in the mountains in such heavy rain. Not only is the road slippery, it is easy to lose control while walking, but what is even more terrifying is lightning. In this case, people are struck by lightning. The probability is very high.

But because of the special conditions, we can't control that much.

In the pouring rain, we looked at where the old man was. He was still halfway up the hillside. I don't know whether it was because he was tired or for other reasons. He was sitting on a rock and had not gone down.

Xiao Lei and I used our hands and feet to climb up, but were washed down by the rushing water several times. After a long time, we climbed to where the old man was sitting.

I saw the old man sitting on the stone, his eyes dull, his face pale, breathing heavily, holding the "Monkey Eagle" in his arms, and his whole body had been soaked to the skin.

Xiaolei and I hurriedly put on his raincoat and almost carried him down the hillside. During the process of going down the mountain, we didn’t know how many times we fell. The three of us were covered in mud, rain and sweat. It was breathable, even though I was wearing a raincoat.

After entering the hotel lobby, the three of us breathed a sigh of relief, and several waiters came over to help. Xiaolei and I quickly sent the old man to my room. Everyone gathered around him quickly, but the old man remained silent. Without saying a word and looking tired, Xiao Lei and I quickly took him into the bathroom. We washed ourselves and put on dry clothes.

Then they came outside. Sister Li and Hongmei asked for two bowls of ginger soup from the hotel. After everything was cleared up, the old man sat on the sofa and drank a few mouthfuls of hot ginger soup before his face slowly recovered. Normal color.

"Why did you run out without even saying hello? You scared us to death and thought you were missing."

After listening to Sister Li's words, the old man smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your concern. Alas, I feel like I'm having a nightmare, too."

From what the old man said, something must have happened.

"Oh, what's going on? Please tell me quickly. Did something unexpected happen?" Xiao Lei asked quickly.

The old man did not answer immediately, but let out a long breath, leaned his head on the sofa, and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was trying hard to remember something.

After nearly a minute, he slowly said: "Well, what happened last night was really incredible. Maybe Xiao Lei and Xiao Ming have told everyone about Lao Lu, but what I didn't expect is that , just after Xiao Ming and Xiao Lei left my room, another strange thing happened,"

When the old man said this, his voice suddenly became very low, with a look of fear on his face: "After Xiao Lei and Xiao Ming left, I took a short shower, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and I slept very deeply, because as long as With the "Monkey Eagle" beside me, I feel at ease.

Maybe because I'm older, I sleep very lightly, and the slightest sound will wake me up. I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by a sound. It was a very strange sound, like a flute, and it sounded like something very strange. It was far, but it seemed very close. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I just thought it was so late and why would someone be playing the flute? I wasn't afraid of disturbing other people's rest. Really.

But because I was really tired, I didn't even open my eyes and wanted to continue sleeping.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the "monkey eagle" making several loud calls, which seemed to be very urgent.

We have been living together day and night for more than ten years. Although it cannot speak, as long as it makes a sound, I can guess what it wants to express. And from these few babbles, I feel that there is something unusual, it seems to be trapped. I was startled immediately and opened my eyes. But for some reason, when I wanted to get up, my whole body was so weak that I had no strength at all.

What's going on? I feel like I'm being suppressed by a nightmare. I'm conscious but can barely move.

At this moment, a loud thunder suddenly sounded outside the window. I was suddenly startled and sat up immediately. The sound of the flute also disappeared temporarily. I quickly turned on the light to see the "Monkey Eagle".

I was surprised to find that the "Monkey Eagle" was beating the window painfully with its wings. I ran over quickly. At first, I thought it was because the "Monkey Eagle" was suffocated and uncomfortable, because it usually lives in the open air. I have lived in a breathable place and have never been in such a closed room, so I quickly opened the window for it, but who knew that when I opened the window, I was surprised to find that there was something wrapped around the mouth of the "Monkey Eagle". There was a "thread" on it, but when I looked carefully, I found that it was not a line at all, but a long, squirming worm, and its whole body was also slightly fluorescent. Before I could react, "Monkey" The "eagle" had already flapped its wings and fell.

Only then did I realize that the "Monkey Eagle" was in so much pain just now, not because the room was closed and there was no fresh air, but because it was entangled in those thread-like insects, which made it so painful.

After watching the "Monkey Eagle" fall, I suddenly panicked. Although I only saw that its mouth was entangled with the bug, but seeing that its wings could not spread, I immediately realized that the "Monkey Eagle" The wings may also be entangled with that thing.

I almost shouted desperately, but I immediately controlled myself. I thought that if I shouted like this, I might wake up everyone in the hotel, and by then, the "Monkey Eagle" would probably was discovered.

So, I had no choice but to control my emotions and try my best to pretend as if nothing had happened and come outside, even though I walked very fast.

When I got outside, I found the "monkey eagle" flapping its wings with difficulty and stumbling up the mountain. Of course, I followed it desperately.

I was extremely shocked that since the "Monkey Eagle" grew up, it has never been in such a mess. No matter what kind of difficulties it encountered before, it could easily resolve it with its intelligence and ferocious attack ability. , no one can calculate it, and no beast is its opponent.

But what happened this time? It seemed to be kidnapped by something, and it couldn't help but go to the mountains. My heart was pounding, I was worried and distressed.

I can see that the "Monkey Eagle" wants to resist going into the mountains, but I don't know what force keeps pulling it into the mountains. Is it such a strange insect? What kind of insect is it and why does it have such strange power?

Fortunately, this way, the "Monkey Eagle" struggled to fly very fast, and fell from the air from time to time, making a shrill cry. I chased it desperately.

I don’t know how long I chased it, and after climbing several hillsides, I suddenly smelled a familiar odor. I knew that this was the trump card of the "Monkey Eagle". Why is it said to be its trump card?

You may not know that what this raptor fears most is not beasts of prey, but small parasites and various other bugs, just like an elephant is not afraid of tigers, but afraid of mice that get into its trunk.

The special odor of "Monkey Eagle" is used to deal with various bugs. As soon as this stench comes out, various bugs will be stunned or even killed, but this stench is not harmful to humans. Although it has almost no lethality, it smells a bit like mothballs. Do you still remember that when you were a child, you could trap ants in it by just drawing a circle with mothballs. This is because ants are afraid of the smell of mothballs, so mothballs can be used for Deworm.

But the smell of the "monkey hawk" cannot be emitted just because it wants to be emitted. It requires the insects to stimulate the body of the "monkey hawk" to a certain extent before it can be emitted.

This must be the kind of thread-like insect. It stimulates the body of "Monkey Eagle" enough for this smell to come out, but it is really effective. "Monkey Eagle" seems to have broken free of its restraints, quietly Standing there, I didn't struggle anymore and flew up again. I hurriedly and slowly caught up with the "Monkey Eagle" this time.

At this time, I felt that my whole body was soaked with sweat. I collapsed on the ground and almost fainted from exhaustion. The "Monkey Eagle" quickly flew to my side and barked at me, as if asking me if I had any problems. Something like that.

After a long while, I slowly recovered.
