Yes?

Hearing this, my face suddenly turned bitter to a muggle, and I thought back to the painful way I had before, and asked myself with a sad face.

The second uncle interrupted me, took out a prescription from under the pillow, took out a pen on the bedside table, hurriedly wrote down a mobile phone number on the prescription, handed it to me, and said,

"Put this note away, tomorrow, call according to this number, find the owner of the number, and ask him to take you into the mountain, to catch something called mandrill, on the chin of the mandrill, there are three long green whiskers, you pull off the long whiskers, use it as a medicine guide, and drink it with my prescription, you can reconcile the yin qi on your body......"

The second uncle quickly admonished, but his face became more and more pale and ugly, and in the end, he actually spurted out a mouthful of black blood and fell head-on.

......

After settling my second uncle, I returned home early the next morning and dialed the phone number on the note.

The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged man with a very thick voice, and when he learned what happened, he only said one sentence, "I'm in Majiang County, you come quickly!"

After hanging up the phone, I found my parents who were taking care of my second uncle and told me that I was going to Majiang County.

My mother was reluctant at first, but when she saw that my complexion had improved, she said that everything had passed, why did you still run around?

Dad sighed and said, "Let him go, compared to life, what is the value of work?" I don't know if the second child's words are true, alas......

Bidding farewell to my parents, I arrived at the bus station alone with my suitcase.

The station departs on a rolling basis, so you can go as you go.

Yunkai City, where I am located, is only a few dozen miles of mountain roads from Majiang County, but this area of Qiannan is backed by deep mountains, and out of the urban area is a tortuous winding mountain road, just a few dozen miles of mountain roads, and it was bumpy for nearly two hours.

On the way, I recalled what my second uncle had said to me before he fell into a coma, and it always felt unreal.

People of my generation, born in New China, grew up under the red flag, and always maintained an objective and cautious attitude towards some rumored ghosts and monsters in the countryside.

But it happened to me.

Thinking about it, I became less and less energetic, and after a yawn, I curled up in my seat and fell asleep.

I slept soundly this night, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the place.

After getting off the bus, I was about to find a clean place to call, just about to walk out of the station door, cold, but the back was patted on the back, and when I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man with five big and three thick, Kong Wu powerful, standing behind me with his arms crossed,

"Lin Feng?"

I was stunned for a moment, the person who came was about forty years old, with a long beard, thick and crowded, a face full of horizontal flesh, and a very fierce face, at first glance, quite bluffing.

I was a little nervous and said how do you know me?

The man smiled and shook his phone at me, "I'm the one who talked to you this morning." ”

"So it's you?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, scratched my head embarrassedly, and asked what the other party was called?

He looked at me with a smile and introduced himself, saying that his name was Tian Wenguang, and he was a comrade-in-arms of the second uncle when he was young, so let me call him Uncle Tian.

I hurriedly said, "Uncle Tian is good!" He nodded, took the initiative to carry the luggage for me, carried it on his shoulders and walked, his steps were brisk, I chased with my bare hands, and almost didn't keep up.

Leaving the station, Uncle Tian walked straight to an army-green jeep, stuffed his luggage into the trunk first, clapped his hands, and beckoned me to sit in the co-pilot of the jeep.

Sitting in the carriage, I cast an inquiring look at Uncle Tian and asked him where he was taking me?

Uncle Tian didn't answer immediately, but took out the cigarette case and asked me if I wanted one? As soon as I got out of the car, my chest was very tight, so I shook my head and refused. He lit a cigarette for himself and took a puff before saying, "You have to catch mandrills, this thing will only appear in the deep mountains and old forests, and we have to go up the mountain while it is dark." ”

I sighed, and showed a lot of worry, saying that there are so many mountains, where are I going to catch mandrills?

He seemed to have been prepared, shook his head and smiled, and said that he was not in a hurry, and when he entered the mountain, he naturally had a way.

Perhaps it was the calmness and confidence of the soldier that made me feel a little reassured, I lowered my head, secretly looked at this rough-looking man, and asked in a low voice, "What is a mandrill?"

Although I was born in southern Qiannan, I can live in the urban area when I was a child, and rarely go to the wilderness, not to mention the rumored mandrills, and I rarely see a pheasant in ordinary times.

Uncle Tian explained, "The mandrill is the mountain spirit, this thing grows in the deep mountains and old forests, is good at confusing people's minds, and its temperament is fiercer than ordinary wild animals.

I let out an "oh" on my lips, thinking back to Uncle Tian's words, I felt weird inexplicably, so I whispered to him, "Mountain spirit, is it a legendary monster?"

He smiled, looked at me playfully, and said what, scared?

I was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him, and subconsciously straightened my chest, saying that I was not afraid, I just didn't believe that there would be demons in this world.

Uncle Tian threw away the cigarette butt, suddenly glanced at me and said, "Did Lin Yuan (my second uncle's name) tell you what he did in the army when he was young?"

I said no. He sighed, turned his face, and then said in a sullen tone, "Demons have always existed, they are either hidden in the city, or born in the deep mountains and old forests, and have been with humans for thousands of years, but they are not as exaggerated as they are on TV, and they have to eat people at every turn, in fact, they have evolved to this day, most of the demon genera are no different from humans, maybe you will help an old lady cross the road on the side of the road one day, she is a demon." ”

I smiled bitterly, "Since there are demons in this world, aren't there also ghosts?"

Uncle Tian laughed again, shook his head and said, "The really terrible ghosts are in people's hearts, and the old people don't often say that they are suspicious of dark ghosts?"

I spared him, feeling a little confused in my brain again, and hurriedly shook my head and said, "Back to the truth, is the mountain spirit good to catch?"

"It's hard to say. ”

Uncle Tian shook his head unhurriedly and said, "All species that walk in the two worlds of yin and yang will have some ability, but not necessarily every mountain demon is fierce, most of them will only be larger than ordinary wild objects, and luck is a matter of one shot." ”

Distracted, I turned my head out the window and fell into a trance.

The people and things I have come into contact with in the past few days have made my mind a little confused.

The off-road vehicle walks very hard in the mountains, here is the east of Xiangxi, south of Miaojiang, is the gateway of 100,000 mountains, everywhere you can see potholes of muddy roads, leaves and wild grass stretching on both sides of the mountain road, occasionally there will be reptiles passing by, making a fluttering sound of leaves.

After half an hour of travel, there was no road ahead, so Uncle Tian drove the jeep to a wild jungle on the side of the road, covered the roof with tree branches, and asked me to hike into the mountains with him.

As soon as I got out of the car, I felt that the climate in the deep mountains was cold and swishing, and when I looked up, I could only see a dense patch of old leaves, obscuring the skylight, as if a dark cloud would press down on me at any time.

With a heavy heart, I leaned closer to Uncle Tian and asked him in a low voice, will there be danger in the mountains?

"With me here, what are you afraid of!" seemed to see what I was thinking, Uncle Tian grinned, took out a large suitcase from the trunk, and opened the combination lock in front of me.

The box contained two guns, four or five **, a military ****, a fishing net pressed under the military thorn, in addition to glutinous rice, cinnabar and other items, which were neatly stacked at the bottom of the box.

I smacked my tongue, "Uncle Tian, you are a soldier, I can understand that you have a gun with you, but what are these glutinous rice and cinnabar used for......"

He smiled mysteriously, didn't explain, just told me to look more and ask less next.

I held back my words and nodded my head to say I got it.

After a long hike, we climbed a very desolate hill.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and half of the sun sank down the mountainside, and the shadows of the stars and the moon were slanted, reflecting the shadows of the shadowy trees, and the mountains were dead and deep.

Uncle Tian took out the binoculars from his hiking bag, looked around a few times, as if silently calculating something, and then took out a palm-sized incense burner from his waist, added some red "bait", and then put the incense burner flat on the ground to ignite the fire.

I don't know what the spice is made of, and when it sees the fire, it ignites, and a puff of yellow smoke wafts out.

The smoke is not poisonous, you can breathe with confidence, but the smell is weird, it is not smelly overall, but there is a smell, very strong, emitted along the mountain wind, and it will float out of a hundred meters after a while.

Lighting the incense burner, Uncle Tian pulled me and walked to a nearby forest to ambush me.

He covered the place where we were hiding with a branch, reached for his pistol, began to correct his crosshairs, and then lay down, keeping his prostrate aim, and kept the incense burner motionless.

I squatted down a short distance from him and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Tian, what did you just order?"

"Chasing demons, a spice that can emit a special smell, as long as there is a mandrill nearby, it will definitely be attracted by it, you don't speak, so as not to startle this animal, it will not come out!" Uncle Tian lay there intently, like a weathered stone, and reminded me in a small voice.

"Okay!" I held my breath in spite of some doubts.

The second uncle can entrust my life to him, which means that this person is definitely trustworthy, I have never joined the army, I don't know how deep the love between comrades-in-arms is, but Uncle Tian really wants to help me, I can feel this.

We squatted for four hours, from about seven o'clock in the evening until half past eleven, but the target never appeared, and I was a little irritable, leaning my back against a tree, silently stunned.

The night was deep, and there was silence in the deep mountains and wilderness, and I didn't feel sleepy at all when I heard the sound of insects in the mountains.

It's strange to say, although I was tossed to death by that thing yesterday, but since the second uncle's treatment, my energy has become a lot stronger, even climbed the mountain road for two hours, and sat here until the middle of the night.

What's even more strange is that my night vision suddenly improved, sitting in the dark, looking at the scene within a radius of ten meters, I can see subtle things very clearly, even a grasshopper leg, a moth wing, can see very clearly.

I was amazed by such a change, and as I was thinking about the principle, there was a soft sound of blades of grass in the bushes.

Uncle Tian raised his gaze abruptly and reminded in a low voice, "Attention, they're coming!"

I squinted and raised my gaze a little.

In the bushes near the hill, there were indeed a few silhouettes of black shadows, but the distance was too far to see very clearly, I could only see a series of small shadows out of the forest, their hair was very fluffy, as if it was green, it could shine in the moonlight, the legs were not straight, they were O-shaped looped legs, but they could walk upright, and they were slowly staggering towards the place where the demon chaser was.

Is this the mandrill?
