237, mountain people
"Many mountain people who followed the reconnaissance company on the mission saw the evidence. The professors took these things back for testing, and found that these things belonged to the closest human beings, and the owners of these test materials were much closer to humans than orangutans. ”
"Isn't that an ape? But the textbooks say that apes were hundreds of thousands of years old. It's all here, can there be this kind of thing in Shennong Mountain?" The driver who drove the car smiled disdainfully: "This kind of thing, most of them are made up by newspapers, is it possible, can you really find out what ghosts, snakes, and gods can you find in this Shennong Mountain?"
Lao Zhou pinned his neck, showing disgust at the driver's rebuttal, and said in vain: "Alas, you people in the city, I really haven't seen it." When the old man of our family was young, he followed the reconnaissance company and groped in the depths of Shennong Mountain, what is there in it? The thousand-year-old ginseng king, the 10,000-year-old purple lingzhi, as long as you are blessed, you will definitely be able to find it. ”
"Medicine is medicine, people are people, I don't believe it, there are really wild people," the driver was very unconvinced.
I looked up at the others and saw that they were smiling, because they didn't like the story too much.
To say that Shennong Mountain contains the aura of heaven and earth and produces a variety of treasures, no one can refute this.
Because since ancient times, the mountain people here have made a living by collecting medicines. Almost every ten years, rare medicinal herbs are discovered from here.
The ginseng king I won back from Zhou Zihao is said to be from Shennong Mountain.
In Lao Zhou's gushing narration, lunch time passed quickly.
After resting for half an hour, everyone put on their equipment, took Lao Zhou, and prepared to enter the mountain on foot.
Only the driver stayed alone in the village, and our group made a detour to the back of the village, and under the guidance of Lao Zhou, climbed up the back mountain.
Lao Zhou walked on those big bluestones at an inclination of 45 degrees, almost like walking on the ground, jumping freely, flexible as a monkey.
I'm also a little better, because of the effect of the Blood Tribulation Sutra, I don't find it very difficult.
Take pity on Zheng Dashao and Mu Qianxun.
Zheng Xiongqi is pampered, he has always disliked exercising, and before he climbed a few hundred meters, he was so tired that he was panting.
Although Mu Qianxun has received professional training, it is a pity that her body can't bear it, and after a while, blisters appeared on her feet, and she walked extremely unnaturally.
It's just that she is not like Zheng Xiongqi, who screams and is tired all the time, she just blindly bows her head and endures.
After walking straight for more than three hours, Lao Zhou was still full of energy, and when he arrived at a stream, Zheng Xiongqi sat on a huge pebble and couldn't scream.
"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, listen to me, I really can't walk, otherwise, you go first, I'll rest for a while, I'll chase you after you for a while." Zheng Xiongqi was out of breath.
I couldn't help but smile wryly. Isn't it a joke to leave him in this wilderness?
Zheng Xiongqi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, threw off his shoes, took off his socks, and saw two huge blisters on the soles of his white and chubby feet.
Seeing that this is the case, it is impossible to move on.
I pulled Lao Zhou and discussed it with him.
He had a lot of experience living in the jungle, and he agreed to camp on the spot and wait until tomorrow dawn before moving on.
Seeing that it was still early, Lao Zhou saw that we were all preparing to set up camp, so he said to me: "You guys take your time here, I'll go ahead and see if there is any game." ”
I nodded, told him to come back early, and began to set up camp and prepare to bury the pot and cook.
After being busy for a while, seeing that the sky was getting darker, Lao Zhou still didn't come back.
There was a faint uneasiness in our hearts.
In this kind of place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, if a group of wolves really emerges, then a few of us will probably be here today.
I was thinking in my mind that it was completely dark.
At this time, I was even more worried.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that I heard the clicking sound of my feet stepping on the dead branches and leaves in a daze.
I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, and my tent was on the outermost periphery, and I could clearly distinguish that it was the sound of people walking.
Gazing slightly, I saw a black shadow through the tent, which looked very much like Lao Zhou, but the figure was crouching, taller than Lao Zhou.
The figure was walking towards us in the dark.
I got up from the ground, grabbed a flashlight, unzipped it, got out of the tent, and shouted directly to the man: "Old Zhou, is that you?"
"Quack, quack," a few big birds flew in the depths of the dense forest.
The people in the distance, frightened when they heard my shout, let out a low roar twice, turned around and ran deeper into the forest.
His roar was shorter and more powerful than that of a beast.
I couldn't help but get goosebumps, could this be the wild man in Shennong Mountain?
This kind of thing, experts in the past came to look for months and couldn't find it, so it happened that I bumped into it.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard Zheng Xiongqi's voice behind me: "Brother Feng, who are you calling?"
"Feng, is Lao Zhou back?" Mu Qianxun also poked a head out of the tent next to me and asked with some concern.
I shook my head and said, "You wait here, don't go anywhere, I'll go with you, there is a man who has just come to the camp to test it, I am afraid that there are other people in this mountain." ”
With that, I prepared to follow in the direction that the man had run away.
Zheng Xiongqi shouted loudly: "Don't, Brother Feng, don't leave us." ”
Mu Qianxun was also scared, and got out of the tent directly.
"Wind, if you are gone, what can we do? Otherwise, let's wait, maybe tomorrow at dawn, Lao Zhou will be back. ”
After listening to Mu Qianxun's words, it also makes sense.
However, deep down, I always have a faint sense of foreboding.
After this toss, I completely lost my sleep, and simply sat down by the stone and built a bonfire.
I think that in the dark, the firelight may be able to guide Lao Zhou to find us.
He may have been lost in the depths of the forest.
But what is that thing that walked up to our camp just now? I can't tell for a while.
If my second grandfather really lived in such an environment for so many years. So how did he survive?
With a belly of question marks in my belly, I fiddled with the fire.
Mu Qianxun leaned on my shoulder.
Zheng Dashao also simply moved the sleeping bag next to the fire and lay on the other side.
In the trees, only the sound of gusts of wind could be heard through the treetops.
At this time, suddenly, from a very distant place, a wolf-like cry came: Ahhhhhh
The sound was loud and long, it traveled for dozens of miles, and it was more like it was going to penetrate the eardrums of each of us.
