"Then, did those who were sick go to steal the sacrifices?" Ye Haoxuan asked.

"Yes, except for Ah Bao, who is ignorant and runs to play, those two adults, one is a bachelor and the other is a lazy person, and sometimes they can't open the pot at home, so they go to steal the sacrifices, and as a result, something like this happened. The village chief whispered.

Ye Haoxuan's heart froze, it seemed that there were really other problems here, he thought for a while and said, "Then have any of you ever seen the mountain god?"

"This ...... Not really, but a few decades ago, when it had just been liberated, someone saw some mountain cliffs in the mountains, that is, they looked like people, and I heard that this was the servant of the mountain god, the true face of the mountain god, but no one had really seen it. ”

Ye Haoxuan nodded, most of what the village chief said was obtained by false rumors in the village, and even if he asked, he couldn't ask why he came, so Ye Haoxuan planned to stop there.

After a while, a few people came to the mountain pass, because there are usually fewer people in Xishan, basically no one has come here, so there are more thorns on the road, and the wild grass and other things on the mountain bury the not wide path tightly.

The whole thing is a barren mountain, the village chief sent the two of them to the side of the mountain, and he refused to take one more step inside, he told Ye Haoxuan and the two of them not to wander around, in case he angered the mountain god, so he left with some worry.

Ye Haoxuan and Jiang Lili walked towards the mountain together, Ye Haoxuan held a sickle in his hand, and from time to time cut branches and other things in front to open the way, Jiang Lili was carrying a metal box, and when she saw something suspicious, she stepped forward to take a sample with tweezers.

In addition to his own medical box, Ye Haoxuan also held an earthen shotgun, because there may be some large animals in the mountains, and he used a shotgun to defend himself, Ye Haoxuan didn't want to encounter a wild boar, and he had no weapons, so he had to get close to him.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, when the two of them came to the so-called mountain temple halfway up the mountain, it had already taken more than an hour, Ye Haoxuan's physical fitness was good, so he didn't feel anything along the way, but Jiang Lili couldn't bear it, she was panting, and she almost didn't want to move her steps.

Ye Haoxuan took the metal box in her hand, and then said with a smile: "Sister Jiang, it's still early, let's rest here." ”

Jiang Lili nodded, she sat on a stone on the side, gasping for breath, Ye Haoxuan handed over the water cup, Jiang Lili thanked her, and then unscrewed the thermos cup and drank some water, only then did she feel a little better.

Jiang Lili was also thirsty, and most of the cup of water was poured into it by her in one go, and after she put down the water cup, she remembered that this cup belonged to Ye Haoxuan, and she didn't seem to bring a cup when she went up the mountain. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)

Her face flushed slightly, and then she handed over the cup and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoye, I didn't bring a water cup, you can drink some too." ”

"No, I'm not thirsty. Ye Haoxuan smiled slightly, took the water cup, and put it in the medical box.

Ye Haoxuan opened the metal box, only to see some unknown small insects soaked in some test tubes inside, these are all samples taken by Jiang Lili along the way, Ye Haoxuan covered the box and said, "Sister Jiang, is it possible for these things to spread the virus?"

Jiang Lili nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, most of the insects in the world will spread the virus, especially this time, the virus carried by these insects has spread to primates, such as monkeys and other things, and then infects people, so if you want to find the source, you still have to start from these small insects." ”

Ye Haoxuan sighed slightly, this time the task is not easy, there are not a few insects on the mountain, this has to be investigated one by one, God knows when it will be investigated, what he is worried about now is whether he can rush back before Chen Ruoxi makes a big appointment.

Due to the urgency of time, he couldn't say goodbye to Chen Ruoxi when he left, comforting and comforting her, now it is estimated that Chen Ruoxi is going to hate himself to death, he subconsciously took out his mobile phone, but in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, there is no signal at all.

Ye Haoxuan reluctantly put the mobile phone in his pocket, no matter whether he could find the source or not, but his affairs must not be delayed, half a month later, he must rush back to the capital, and deal with the mess in the capital.

At this time, Ye Haoxuan's expression tightened, and he beckoned to Jiang Lili and said, "Sister Jiang, you stand up slowly and come here." ”

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lili was slightly stunned, but looking at Ye Haoxuan's nervous expression, she knew that the situation was not good, so she had to look back.

"Don't look backwards, it's okay, you just walk slowly. Ye Haoxuan stared closely behind Jiang Lili and signaled her not to panic.

The more Ye Haoxuan was like this, the more Jiang Lili felt uneasy, she stood up in some surprise, and walked towards Ye Haoxuan, her legs couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, Ye Haoxuan suddenly walked a few steps quickly, pulled her into his arms, and then flicked his right hand with a flick of his fingers, and several pops of the air were heard, and several thin needles came out of his hand.

Yes......

Jiang Lili's face was flushed, because Ye Haoxuan used too much force, she almost threw herself into Ye Haoxuan's arms, because the weather is relatively hot now, so the two of them are dressed relatively thinly, and the two people who are close to each other are a little embarrassed.

Especially Ye Haoxuan, he only felt that his chest was soft, which made him tremble unfreely, this woman's figure was too material, although it was separated by clothes, Ye Haoxuan still felt an amazing softness.

"Here, what's wrong?" Jiang Lili's face was as red as a ripe apple, and with her ripe charm, people almost wanted to go up and take a bite.

"There are snakes there. Ye Haoxuan said the reason.

"Ah...... There is a snake ......" Jiang Lili screamed, pounced on Ye Haoxuan's back, hugged Ye Haoxuan's waist tightly, and looked forward in horror.

Sure enough, I saw that in the place where she was sitting just now, there was a black snake nailed to a tree trunk by Ye Haoxuan's needle, this snake head was raw and fleshy, the snake letter was bright red, and the mixed body was as black as ink, Jiang Lili, who was a biologist, recognized this as a five-step snake at a glance.

This snake is extremely venomous, and if bitten, if the serum is not injected within five minutes,

Basically a death.

Thinking that there was a five-step snake entrenched behind her just now, Jiang Lili felt a dizziness in front of her, if it wasn't for Ye Haoxuan to find out in time, I'm afraid the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Feeling her fiery delicate body trembling uncontrollably, Ye Haoxuan smiled slightly bitterly: "Sister Jiang, it's okay, I've already nailed it to the ground." ”

Jiang Li turned around in shock, and sure enough, the snake was constantly twisting, nailing several silver millistitches to its back.

Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief, she only now found that she was hugging Ye Haoxuan tightly, her face was not free to blush, and she quickly let go and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little scared." ”

"Sister Jiang, you're a biologist, don't be afraid of this thing. Ye Haoxuan smiled bitterly.

"Even as a biologist, I'm a woman, and women are naturally afraid of these things. Jiang Lili said with a red face.

Ye Haoxuan shook his head helplessly, he stepped forward, took out the fish intestines, raised his sword in his hand, and cut off the head of this thing.

The snake's life was tenacious, and although its head was cut off, its body still writhed and writhed, and it took five minutes for it to be considered still.

Ye Haoxuan took out a test tube from the metal box, pinched the head of the five-step snake, took out its venom glands from its sharp teeth, and then put in a few silver needles to quench the poison.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Lili asked curiously.

"I have a hunch, I always feel that there is something strange in this mountain, the poison of the five-step snake can be said to kill all primates in seconds, and if you use this self-defense, it is much better than a shotgun. Ye Haoxuan explained with a smile.

Having just seen Ye Haoxuan's flying needle stunt, Jiang Lili was convinced of what he said, after all, those few millineedles were still inserted in the trunk of the tree, it was unbelievable, this millineedle that was as red as a cow's hair and as soft as a hair could actually pierce into the trunk of a tree, and normal people really couldn't do this.

After resting in place for a while, the two men walked back up the mountain.

When they walked halfway up the mountain, a small stone temple appeared in the sight of the two, which was what the tree people called the mountain temple.

It's just that this temple is extremely simple, the temple body is made of some mountain stones, and the roof is made of straw and other things, strictly speaking, it is a straw shed made of stones.

The two of them walked along, only to see a large grinding plate at the main entrance of the temple, and there was a stump of some kind of animal on it, Jiang Lili stepped forward and looked at the stump of the animal carefully, and it was vaguely distinguishable from the bones and body shape that it was a goat.

"Is this a sheep, is it a sacrifice?" Jiang Lili asked with some confusion.

"It should be a sacrifice, the people here worship the mountain god at this time every year, and they just worshipped it some time before we entered the mountain. Ye Haoxuan nodded and replied.

Ye Haoxuan looked around carefully, and saw that there were still some residual meat crumbs here, and he said with some doubts: "It seems that this sheep was torn and eaten by some kind of animal." ”

Jiang Lili took out tweezers and picked up a little residual meat crumbs, because it had been too long, these meat crumbs had been dried, and she looked around carefully, only to see that on the ground, there were footprints of an unknown animal faintly visible.

"There are footprints here, as if someone has come. Jiang Lixian said with some doubts, she took out a ruler, measured the remaining footprints on the ground, and then marked the approximate shape and size of the footprints on the ground according to the shape.

"The two infected villagers had been here, and the sacrifices were to be left here after the villagers had finished worshipping, and the two men had come to steal the sacrifices, but only half of the sheep was left, and the other half seemed to have been torn by some animal. Ye Haoxuan said.
