"I want to sneak into the jungle and peek once," said the colonel.
Mr. Philip said, "Suppress this great desire of yours. The mystery of the jungle is hidden in the jungle. I have no desire to see it."
Well, I am suppressing my desire for now. But at night I have to go into the jungle. I will not listen to anyone then.
We stood there for another half hour. But nothing significant happened and I'm not sorry about that. Because the shock that happened to us a while ago is enough for one night.
Then I went inside the tent.
Each of us had to guard one by one.
Bagha spent the whole night awake. She was so excited that she never stopped screaming.
The Colonel pushed me and woke me up when the dawn was not shining in the eastern sky. I got up and saw Mr. Colonel and Philip sitting ready.
The Colonel said quietly, "Jayant, if you want to go into the forest, get ready quickly."
It didn't take me more than 5 minutes to get ready.
Then the three of us slipped out of the tent.
In the distance, the snow-capped mountains look like they are made of shiny steel sheets. There is no hint of horrible mystery anywhere. We came to the fountain and stood.
Last night I saw the red man and those huge idols disappear from here.
The waterfall is falling over a valley.
Seeing the movement of musical water reminds me of a dancing child.
The width of the fountain stream should not be more than 5 cubits.
Shallow forest right after the waterfall.
A footpath has entered her.
Along that path we proceeded slowly, carefully looking around.
The forest is deep but not small. There are many kinds of trees and there are rows of monkeys perched on the branches of one big tree.
They started annoying us and started cursing us. But after walking 5 minutes in the forest, I could not find anything suspicious.
Mr. Philip said, "The ones we're looking for probably didn't come this way."
The Colonel suddenly pointed to the ground and said, "What is it, Mr. Philip?"
Half of a broken stick fell on the path.
At least at first glance it seemed nothing more than that.
Philip knelt down and picked up the stick. Then, as he examined it well, his face became serious. He said, "I see the inside is hollow. Mr. Colonel, this is a broken blue pipe."
The colonel took the rod from Philip's hand and said, "It looks like it's just broken. But why did it break? The red people using the blue pipe."
Maybe this blue pipe was used to kill me yesterday.
I said, "But it's easy to guess that the red people didn't drop their weapons."
In other words, the misery of the Blue Pipe is at the hands of those inhuman idols. Seeing them, our eyes became calm yesterday.
Suddenly another spot on the path caught my eye.
I quickly said, "Colonel, there are blood stains."
Mr. Colonel knelt there. He stared for a while and said, "Jayanta, this is not just a blood stain, this is a blood stained foot."
I also sat there eagerly to see the spots.
Yes, footprints but surprising footprints. There are five fingerprints on the ground in different blood lines.
There is no doubt that it is not the footprint of any quadruped. But it does not seem to be a human footprint.
Mr. Philip said, "The strange thing is that the big toe and the other four toes are very different in that sign."
There are many bushes under the big trees on both sides where we are standing now.
Every bush is so high that even a huge animal can easily hide inside it.
Suddenly my suspicion is that there is something in the bush in front. A pair of eyes rose and disappeared. The bush seemed to shake once.
Surprised, I said, "Have you seen Mr. Philip?"
What?
Human eyes in the bushes.
Philip jumped up and fell into the bushes.
Half a minute later he came out and said, "You're wrong. There's nobody in the bushes."
Mr. Colonel is then walking on foot. He shouted. Mr. Philip, come here. "
What's the matter again?
There are many more footprints here. The birthmarks of the spots on the soles of the feet of those who have come here bent from the side of the bushes.
I said, "The spots are not one-sided. Probably originated from 5-6 feet."
Yesterday we did not see a statue, Jayanta?
Look, every footprint is bloody. Otherwise we would not have known their existence. So many blood stained footprints.
I don't know what happened inside the forest. When the idols came here, the blood on their feet did not dry up.
So it is understood that we have come very close to the scene.
The Colonel's guess is not false.
None of us were ready to see the horrible scene unfold before our eyes as we approached the bushes with bloodstained footprints.
Blood, blood everywhere.
There was a wave of blood flowing here yesterday. Now it has become like a dry coating on the stone. And there are seven more dead bodies lying here and there.
Some of them have become round like a rhythm. The fact that a superpower has done such a thing under the immense pressure of his arm can be understood by looking at their bones and blood-stained flesh.
Someone's head has been torn from the body, someone's body has been torn off by the force of the body.
Every body is a red man.
Mr Philip said in a trembling voice, "There are no weapon marks on any body. Those who attacked them must have been as strong as elephants. They fought empty-handed. They were killed without weapons. But they were all self-armed."
The Colonel stood still for a while.
Then he said softly, "Jayant,our good luck Mr.Haldar did not come with us. He would have been scared to see this scene. He was very scared to see the blood."
Suddenly a gun roared near our ears.
I looked in the blink of an eye and saw a line of smoke coming out of a bush at a distance of 5-6 feet.
All three of us aimed our guns at the bush. I heard a man screaming as I was about to press the gun that had been set.
Jayant, Colonel, I am Haldar.
Don't you want to kill me?
Mr. Haldar, the real gunman, came out through the bushes immediately
We had guns in our hands. We were all stunned.
Mr. Philip was the first to speak.
He stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter! Are you here?"
Mr. Haldar came to us and stood. Then he said in an exasperated voice, "I see you are very scared. You got scared at the sound of the gun."
I said, "Does that mean you were in the bushes?"
That's what it is again.
You think you left me in the tent. But from the beginning I followed you.
After a while, someone cried in an unknown language from very close.
I was startled and said, "Who's talking in tears?"
"Save me, save me, save me," said Mr. Philip.
"The sound is coming from inside the bush," said the Colonel.
I entered the bush and saw a red man lying on the ground. Blood line on his head, foremost in his face. She is screaming in a very moaning, gasping voice.
As soon as Philip touched her body, she looked up in shock.
What a terrifying look!
But seeing us, he was a little reassured.
