Chapter Twenty-Six: The Unknown Enemy

The torrential rain was accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the wind swept the rain into the cave, but fortunately, the cave was relatively deep, so Ji Yanxin and Xia Jinzhong would not be poured into soup chickens.

At night, the cold invaded, Ji Yanxin and Xia Jinzhong stayed by the fire to keep warm, outside the cave, the rain seemed to be lighter, and the forest rustled.

Xia Jinzhong raised his head suddenly and stared at Ji Yanxin in horror: "Big brother, have you heard a strange voice?"

Ji Yanxin was closing his eyes, listening intently to the strange sounds mixed with the sound of wind and rain, there was no squeak, Xia Jinzhong stared at him deadly, and his heart was frightened.

In the night, in addition to the sound of wind and rain, there were also strange sounds, there were the rough roars of men, and the delicate moans and cries of women—

Barren mountains and mountains, how can there be a voice like crying? Ji Yanxin and Xia Jinzhong looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be terrified, Xia Jinzhong timidly asked Ji Yanxin: "Big brother, is this a human or a ghost?"

Ji Yanxin was silent, he didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but there was no way to reasonably explain the source of these sounds, he couldn't believe that there would be women living in this primeval forest.

"Big brother-" Xia Jinzhong couldn't control his panic, shouted Ji Yanxin again, and raised his hand to gently push him. Ji Yanxin raised his eyes and glared at him: "Don't be afraid, wait for dawn to see what happens!"

"You don't speak, when you hear that voice, it's weird!" Xia Jinzhong made a bitter face and added a handful of firewood to the firewood, and the sound poured into his ears endlessly, disturbing him.

"What's there to be afraid of, it's a big deal, it's a life, and if your head falls off, it's just a big scar!" Ji Yanxin said this, but he estimated in his heart that the strange voice must have come from the cave with the door.

Ji Yanxin couldn't help but be curious: Who is living in it, why did he settle down in this deep mountain and old forest? Come to think of it, this person must have some background, not so easy to provoke, we must be careful in our actions!

……

Ji Yan Xin stood silently in front of Juan'er's tombstone, for a full hour, Xia Jinzhong burned the paper money, cleaned up the weeds around the tomb, stood up, and said softly: "Big brother, it's cloudy, it seems to be raining, should we go back?"

Ji Yanxin glared at Xia Jinzhong fiercely, and shouted: "You fucking rat guts? Are you afraid of this when it rains? Lao Tzu only comes to see Juan'er once a year, and you are still fucking chirping! Get out—"

Xia Jin Zhong was silent, stepped aside, and stopped making a sound. Ji Yanxin looked at the portrait on the tombstone with affection: "Juan'er, are you okay over there?" I'm useless, until today, I haven't found the whereabouts of the pillar - but, don't worry, even if I dig three feet into the ground and turn the earth over, I will find the pillar back - now, he should grow into a big man——"

Several figures shuttled through the woods, swishing by, Xia Jinzhong heard the sound, searched in the forest vigilantly, quickly pulled out the gun from his waist, clicked on the load, flew and threw Ji Yanxin to the ground, and shouted: "Big brother, go quickly! There is an ambush!"

Ji Yanxin's eyes burst out with green light, gritted his teeth, pulled out his gun and loaded it, and scolded viciously: "There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell, you go off the rails - you actually dare to disturb the tranquility of Lao Tzu's woman and look for death!"

"Big brother, I'll cover you, you withdraw first-people are in the dark, we are in the light, we can't fight with them! Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Xia Jinzhong begged bitterly, he didn't know the roots, and he didn't know how many people there were on the other side, so if he started a war rashly, he would definitely suffer a big loss.

Ji Yanxin didn't listen to persuasion at all, he picked up the gun and was about to rush into the forest, in a hurry, Xia Jinzhong raised his hand and pointed the gun at his head, shouting: "Big brother, if you don't listen to your brother's persuasion, I will die in front of you!"

Ji Yanxin looked back and stopped in astonishment: "Jin Zhong, don't mess around, put the gun down!"

Xia Jinzhong looked at Ji Yanxin with tears in his eyes, and burst into tears: "Big brother, we have gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers, is it easy to escape from death? If you don't take your own life seriously, what's the point of me living!"

Whoosh –

A bullet was shot out of the forest and flew towards Xia Jinzhong, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Ji Yanxin flew over, hugged Xia Jinzhong and rolled on the ground, the bullet drilled into his left arm, and blood sprayed immediately.

"Let's go!" Ji Yanxin pulled up the frightened Xia Jin Bell, ran into the vegetation, and under the cover of dense vegetation, he quickly ran towards the car.

Xia Jinzhong asked eagerly, "Big brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Get out of here quickly!" Ji Yanxin's voice was hoarse, and beads of sweat the size of beans hung on his forehead. Xia Jinzhong picked him up, rushed to the car, put him in the car, jumped into the cab, and the car sped out in an instant.

Xia Jinzhong was cold, and turned his head to look at Ji Yanxin from time to time: "Big brother, you must hold on, we will be home soon!"

"Jin Zhong, you concentrate on driving, don't worry about me, don't worry, I won't die so easily!" Ji Yanxin smiled bitterly, he never lacked scars on his body, so why not have one more. It's just that he doesn't know who is behind the scenes and wants to kill him.

……

A slender man dressed in black, with a grim face, came out of the woods and stood in front of the tombstone, looking up to the sky and roaring, and the air echoed with uninhibited laughter.

The man took a small step back on the right hand side, and there stood a man with a small head, who was staring at the tombstone with a puzzled expression. Behind them stood four people in a row, their faces the same cold.

"Haha-God has eyes, you are still dead after all!Soon, I will send them down to accompany you, and your family will meet in the Netherworld-" The man sneered twice, gritted his teeth and roared, "Smash me, cut down all the trees around this grave, and burn it all in one fire!"

When the four men heard the order, they jumped to the grave and smashed the tombstone to pieces, and then the green pines around the grave fell one by one.

Hahaha – Hahaha –

The man in the lead laughed wildly, took a step, and walked down the hill, followed by the short man, and after the other four retreated, one of them lit a lighter and threw it on a pile of dead grass, and the flames gradually burst up, and the fire spread downwind.

……

Ji Yanxin raised his eyes weakly, looking at the burning mountain, his teeth itched with hatred, he hated it to the extreme, but he didn't know who the enemy was and who to find to take revenge.

The car was bumpy, the wound on Ji Yanxin's shoulder kept oozing blood, his consciousness gradually blurred, and his thoughts returned to five years ago-

……

The strange cries of men and women continued until the middle of the night, when they disappeared, and the wind had stopped, and the rain had stopped, and the forest was eerily quiet.

Xia Jinzhong couldn't help but get closer to Ji Yanxin, Ji Yanxin reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Jinzhong, you hurry up and sleep for a while, I'll keep it!"

"Big brother, let's sleep, your injuries are not healed!" Xia Jinzhong couldn't bear it in his heart, blamed himself deeply, and sighed that he was not brave enough.

"Jin Zhong, don't think about it, you are already very good, along the way, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to live!" Ji Yanxin had already seen through Xia Jinzhong's mind and cheered him up in time. Surviving in a harsh environment does not allow for a trace of slackness.

"Big brother-" Xia Jinzhong wanted to speak and stopped, he had an indescribable feeling for Ji Yanxin in his heart, he was glad that in this life, he met a good big brother.

"Hurry up and sleep, since you know that my injury is not good, you have to rest well, and the days to come, I am counting on you!" After listening to Ji Yanxin's words, Xia Jinzhong was not good at prevaricating, closing his eyes and recuperating, but it was difficult to sleep.

Ji Yanxin took off the tiger skin from his body and draped it on Xia Jinzhong's body, Xia Jinzhong's heart swelled with a warm current, and he didn't dare to move, for fear of provoking the anger of his eldest brother; after a long time, he fell asleep in a daze.

It was unusually cold in the cave, and there was no tiger skin to keep out the cold, Ji Yanxin couldn't help but feel a spirit, and he moved towards the fire to keep warm by the burning fire.

At dawn, Ji Yanxin gritted his teeth to resist the cold, ambushed at the entrance of the cave, and stared intently at the cave not far away.

The door creaked open, and came an unkempt man, shoulder-length hair, unkempt over his shoulders, shiny in his clothes, with a powder gun in his hand and a machete pinned to his waist.

Standing at the entrance of the cave and stretching his waist, the man turned around and tied the door with vines, and jumped into the forest in three or two steps. Ji Yanxin was shocked in his heart: This person has some skills, and he actually has a gunpowder gun, what is the origin of it? What secrets are hidden in that cave?

Ji Yanxin followed the man into the forest, peeped at him and walked away, only then did he return to the cave and shake Xia Jinzhong's body: "Jinzhong, wake up!"

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Xia Jinzhong suddenly opened his eyes, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and his mind was confused.

"The man in the cave next door has entered the mountain, look at his appearance, he has lived in this forest for a long time, I think, there must be a secret hidden in the cave, let's take advantage of his absence, hurry up to see what is going on, if he comes back, it will be a big trouble!" Ji Yanxin explained his intentions, Xia Jinzhong looked at him in horror: "Big brother, will there be anyone in the cave?"

"I can't be sure of this, it's very likely that there will be! You are sentry outside, and I will go into the cave to explore the truth-" Ji Yanxin's eyes were full of worries, and he rashly invaded other people's territory, which was a little unauthentic, but in order to find out the truth, he had to take risks.

"Then what's the matter, if you want to go, you have to go in!" Xia Jin Zhong stood up suddenly, threw the tiger skin to Ji Yanxin, and walked out of the cave.

Ji Yanxin put on a tiger skin, grabbed a bow and arrow, and chased out: "Jin Zhong, how can you be reckless! If you don't listen to me, our brothers will go their separate ways!"

"Big brother, why are you always like this!" Xia Jinzhong stood up angrily and looked at Ji Yanxin in compromise.

Ji Yanxin smiled at Xia Jinzhong, threw the bow and arrow to him, touched the short knife on his body, and climbed towards the cave over there. Natsu set up his bow and arrows, lurking among the vegetation, his eyes moving back and forth between the forest and the mouth of the cave over there.

Ji Yanxin climbed to the door of the cave, through the door panel, listening to the movement inside, after the fluttering sound, there was a giggling sound, and after a while, there was a crow.

Suddenly, Ji Yanxin's heart was beating wildly, there was really someone in the cave, and it was a woman. He was even more puzzled in his heart, and he was a little hesitant, Xia Jinzhong saw Ji Yanxin standing at the door in the distance, he didn't know what was going on, he was anxious, he put a bow and arrow on his back, and climbed over.
