Chapter 2, Distress in the Mountains

The next day, the college entrance examination was over, and the volunteers were filled in, and now I was ready to go home. Dragging the salute and walking out of the school gate, Yi Yongheng looked back at the place where he had studied art in the past three years, and then walked towards the mountain in the distance without looking back.

"Hey, Yi Yongheng, you wait. Yi Yongheng walked carelessly, and suddenly seemed to hear someone calling him from behind, Yi Yongheng immediately looked back, and continued to walk, as if he had encountered something irrelevant to him.

"Yi Yongheng, you stop for me. It was obviously a female voice, but he still strode forward, not in a hurry, not paying attention to it in the slightest.

After a while, a delicate-looking girl in jeans panted and pulled Yi Yongheng's old-fashioned military backpack, just not letting go.

Yi Yongheng paused, looked back, and then said, "What's the matter?"

This is the class president of their class, Lin Xiaoyu, who looks good and has good grades, and is from the county seat. I never like to meddle in things, when I was in the hospital that day, Yi Yongheng was angry, so he took care of things for the first time.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiaoyu panted: "What are you asking me about?Today's graduation party, the whole class attended, you are going alone, are you worthy of us?"

"Graduation party?worthy of you?" Yi Yongheng still said casually: "I have already told the head teacher, I won't attend, I have something at home." ”

"You ......."

"I'm sorry, let go, I'm leaving, otherwise I won't be able to get home after dark, my home is far away. Yi Yongheng said.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyu thought about it, and then let go, he knew that Yi Yongheng's family was poor, and every time he went back, he never took a car, but went back directly over those mountains.

"You wait. Lin Xiaoyu was a little disappointed, but he didn't blame Yi Yongheng, everyone in the class knew that Yi Yongheng had such a temper.

"What's the matter, say"

Seeing that Yi Yongheng actually turned around, Lin Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and then took it out of his pocket, obviously a few fifty oceans.

Seeing this, Yi Yongheng turned around and left, Lin Xiaoyu said angrily: "Yi Yongheng, you stop, do you have to carry such a heavy burden and walk back?" This money is not for you, it is for your sister's ......."

But no matter what you say, Yi Yongheng just didn't look back, and it wasn't until he was far away that Yi Yongheng replied coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't accept other people's charity." ”

Watching Yi Yongheng slowly walk away, Lin Xiaoyu didn't chase it, she was originally kind, but Yi Yongheng refused, but she didn't get angry, because this is not the first time, the county once wanted to subsidize poor outstanding students, and Yi Yongheng is the most suitable for this condition, as long as he goes to the school's teacher-student assembly to stand and receive it, but Yi Yongheng directly refused, he only said one sentence, I don't accept other people's charity, from that time Lin Xiaoyu began to pay attention to this alternative poor boy.

"Maybe I won't be here in a while. Walking through the long highway and looking at the mountain road in front of him, Yi Yongheng's face was a little lost, this is the border of western Xiangxi, next to Yungui, Xiangxi is mountainous, and Yi Yongheng's home lives in the ravine of Xiangxi, from their village to the county seat, although there is a road, but Yi Yongheng is still willing to go back over these mountains, and the more than a dozen yuan of fare saved can buy some delicious food for his uncle and sister. His current military backpack was brought back from the army by his grandfather when he was a soldier, it is very durable, and it now contains a lot of things that his uncle and sister like to eat, maybe this is the last time he will walk this mountain road.

Yi Yongheng thought about what it would look like to return home. The winding mountain road, so that Yi Yongheng, who was carrying the salute, had a fine sweat on his face, there are many legends in Xiangxi, such as Xiangxi chasing corpses, Xiangxi witch Gu, and so on, but Yi Yongheng has never seen it when he walked these mountain roads, but there are a lot of birds and beasts in this mountain, I heard the older generation say, the most powerful thing in this mountain is the clouded leopard, it is simply without a trace, if you meet this clouded leopard, even the medicine pickers who are familiar with the mountain may not be able to come back alive, and the most powerful hunters must avoid it.

"The strange old man said, the most famous in the mountains of Xiangxi is the Miao family Wu people, I heard that it is the descendant of Chi You, what witch Gu or something, it is simply deliberately scaring me, this road has been going for three years, I have not seen any Wu people, I think this guy has seen a lot of strange things. Yi Yongheng rested for a while, and then continued to walk, he walked this mountain road for three years, three years in high school, every time he went home or back, he went over the mountain to the county seat, the first time on the way, he met a strange old man who lived in the mountains for many years, in fact, he was an old Chinese medicine doctor, and every time he went back late, Yi Yongheng would live in this strange old man's house. In fact, applying for the examination of traditional Chinese medicine, this discipline, that is, the inspiration of the strange old man to Yi Yongheng, for the strange old man's medical skills, Yi Yongheng admires the five-body throw. The strange old man once said that now that the profession of Chinese medicine has declined, many old Chinese medicine doctors have the ability, but they are not qualified to practice medicine, and the people only recognize the so-called Western medical skills, and forget their old profession. Yi Yongheng once wanted to learn Chinese medicine with him, and said that he wanted him to help his sister treat eye diseases, but the strange old man directly refused, saying that if you want to learn, then worship me as a teacher, if you want to treat your sister's eye disease, then go and study this line of work yourself, Yi Yongheng is also a stubborn temper, and directly refused, because he still has to study, in his eyes only reading can get ahead, this is the truth that he has realized since he was a child, and he has been cold-eyed.

Why do you say this strange old man? It's because this old man always tells Yi Yongheng some strange things, and he believes in what he says, and if he doesn't believe it, he doesn't, but Yi Yongheng listens to it as a story every time, and he never believes it, and sometimes, a person walking on the mountain road will be a little scared, and he feels as if there is something behind him.

Today is a good weather, no rain, in the morning the air in the mountains is excellent, let people breathe freely, the whole person is full of energy, it is now noon, the dew in the mountains has been removed, often meet some herb pickers, and some farm hunters, occasionally talk a few words, they taught Yi Yongheng a lot of things, such as pay attention to their traps when going up the mountain, where there are wild boars and beasts, what to do when encountering wild boars and beasts, which makes Yi Yongheng walk through the mountains unimpeded.

Walking in this mountain, Yi Yongheng has some yard-like feeling, occasionally going to see if there is anything caught in the trap, or picking some wild fruits, digging some wild vegetables, such as kiwi fruit, tea fruit, all these things are done, all thrown into the strange old man's house, Yi Yongheng can naturally get a hearty meal, this is the agreement between him and the strange old man.

Today's harvest is good, Yi Yongheng actually saw a dying hare in a clip, and he also got a lot of chestnuts, which made Yi Yongheng a little happy.

But when Yi Yongheng reached out to catch the hare, suddenly there was a sound of a rope in the thorns behind him, hearing this, Yi Yongheng's face changed, grabbed the hare and ran, he knew that he might have encountered a wild boar, the wild boar was not something he could deal with, the fangs arched, Yi Yongheng's thin body, and he finished playing directly.

But Yi Yongheng ran for a while, and felt that something was wrong, because if the wild boar hadn't found the prey, he wouldn't have chased so far, and Yi Yongheng ran to those places with traps, and the wild boar behind him was still fast.

"Damn, you won't be so unlucky to meet the clouded leopard, right?" Yi Yongheng sped up a few points, the clouded leopard has a habit of playing with its prey the most, and you have no strength to torture it all the time, so it will kill the prey in one fell swoop.

"It's a clouded leopard, not far ahead, there's a lasso trap, hehe, I'll let you taste what it's like to be propped up. ”

When he was running for his life, his potential was greatly displayed, and Yi Yongheng didn't feel tired when he was carrying such a big burden, it was a miracle that the heartless guy still wanted to hang the clouded leopard.

"It's ten meters away. Seeing the hidden rope in front of him, Yi Yongheng suddenly stopped and the figure behind him continued, Hua Xiang looked back, and finally saw the true face of this clouded leopard, the whole body was like a white cloud-like pattern, just like the king of this mountain, a pair of godly eyes stared at Yi Yongheng with some playful meaning, seeing that Yi Yongheng stopped, its spiritual eyes suddenly appeared a ray of wisdom.

"Walking shit luck, I actually met an adult goods. "A clouded leopard with such an expression can't even be dealt with by those old hunters, not to mention Yi Yongheng, a mountain man who only dares to arrest a few hares, in fact, he himself sometimes wonders if he is a mountain man.

After Yi Yongheng finished speaking, he immediately bluffed and ran towards the trap, and when he reached two meters directly, Yi Yongheng instantly rolled down to the bushes next to him, and rolled directly down the mountain, Yi Yongheng was suddenly shocked, he knew that there was a cliff below, if he rolled down, there would definitely be death and no life, but the brakes couldn't stop, and the clouded leopard was directly hung by the trap, hanging upside down on the tree, struggling constantly, and his eyes were angry staring at Yi Yongheng who rolled down.

And at this time, his great enemy, the little prey, fell under the cliff in the blink of an eye.

"Help...... Is there anyone......." Yi Yongheng said upside down on the rattan of the cliff, there is a deep valley below, not to mention what is in it, if you fall, there will definitely be death and no life. But in the deep mountains and old forests, except for Yi Yongheng, a glutton, there was no answer, the only thing that could be heard was the echo that resounded through the valley and the miserable howl of the clouded leopard, obviously the clouded leopard was hung up by a rope, and it was no better.

"It's really not worth losing a life for the sake of a hare, this damn clouded leopard, if Lao Tzu can live, he will definitely cut you with a thousand knives at that time. Yi Yongheng cursed, seeing the cliff below, he was so frightened that three souls went to two souls, and a sense of fear arose in his heart, and tears were about to flow out, this is a life.

"Snort"

As soon as he finished scolding, the rattan suddenly broke, and Yi Yongheng fell off the cliff directly with his baggage, but Yi Yongheng didn't want to die, so he grabbed the things that could be grabbed indiscriminately, and suddenly, he grabbed another rattan, and he was so frightened that the last soul was removed. But before he could rejoice, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be crawling above the rattan, turquoise.

"Mom, Octagonal King" This is a caterpillar-like insect, but it is more poisonous than a caterpillar, and it will definitely make you worse than dead if you are messed with, but it will not die, but there are a lot of bubbles on the skin, and the whole body is full.

Yi Yongheng immediately kept going down, the octagonal king, actually kept going down, Yi Yongheng scolded the ancestors of the octagonal king in his heart, but he didn't know that he often trampled on the ancestors of these octagonal kings on the mountain.

Slowly retreating and retreating, suddenly feeling that there was an emptiness under his feet, Yi Yongheng looked down, and was suddenly overjoyed, in the middle of this cliff, there was actually a cave, which was also surprising, Yi Yongheng suddenly seemed to be amnesty, slowly descended, and finally came to the cave, but at this time, he thought of something.

The strange old man once said that those Wu people like to live in hidden caves the most, and for outsiders, their way to deal with them is to poison them directly, and the witch Gu will make people worse than death for nine hundred and eighty-one days, thinking of this cave, thinking of the habits of the Wu people, Yi Yongheng was surprised: "I won't be so lucky.............
