There were seriously wounded people on the stretcher, but fortunately, the hunter brothers were familiar with the neighborhood and chose to walk on a flat place. But even though they have a lot of strength, they have to stop every few miles to rest.

After walking and stopping like this, before I arrived at Wangjia Village, it was getting dark. Zhang Jiabao didn't want to expose his ability to do magic, so he lit a torch with a fire sickle and flint to light the way in front.

After walking for three hours, I arrived at Biluo Mountain. The distance on the hillside was even more strenuous and the hunter brothers were tired enough to choke and their backs hurt their arms. Zhang Jiabao was carrying hundreds of pounds of things, and he was also miserable.

Wangjia Village is just in front, in fact, there are a few wooden houses. There are four large cabins, two small ones, the large ones facing each other, and the smaller ones on both sides, in a circle.

The wooden houses are surrounded by trees more than one person high, forming a natural wall. When I got closer, I saw that the branches of the tree were covered with hard sharp thorns.

The hunter brothers said that this thorn tree, called "Bird Bu Stand", was specially planted to ward off wild beasts and man-eating monsters, and could also be used to make bruising medicine.

The thorn tree has an outer ring, and there is an inner circle, which is a row of sharpened bamboo hedges tightly inserted into the ground, more than half a person high. The two circles are two meters apart, and the ground in the middle is also covered by a pile of fallen leaves, and some traps are arranged.

As you can imagine, when a large beast with good bouncing power jumps through the thorny bushes, it will be poked by the bamboo hedge hidden behind the green leaves.

However, the hunter brothers said that no beast had tried to break through the thorn bushes so far, and only a few small animals had been caught in the traps. This arrangement is also just in case.

They asked Zhang Jiabao to follow closely and not to walk around, there are still many traps and traps in this area of dozens of feet.

Among the thorn trees are two tall almond trees three meters apart, with their trunks as gateposts, and are equipped with double wooden doors nearly three meters high.

The door panel is inlaid with an inverted wooden cone with two crossbar locks in the middle and two metal pins below.

The Hunter brothers looked around for a moment before opening the door. After the group entered, they closed the door and inserted the crossbar and floor pin from the inside.

The entrance was diagonally facing a small wooden house, and on a leather cushion beside the house lay a listless black wolf dog, with long and sparse hair, and looked very old. Seeing Brother Hunter return, it wagged its tail slightly. When he saw the living, he raised his head and did not call.

This small wooden house was used to store tools and miscellaneous items, and the hunter brothers asked Zhang Jiabao to put things there. The other log cabin opposite was used for cooking, and wild boar meat hung from the boom of the eaves.

As the hunter brothers said, "There are only two of them left", and there is no one else in the whole village. The two main wooden houses were made of earthen kangs, and they usually slept in one of them together, and gave the other to Zhang Jiabao and them.

After burning the kang for Su Qi Jingli and feeding it hot water and medicine, it was already late at night. The hunter brothers made a meal of braised wild boar, took out a jar of home-brewed old wine, and beckoned Zhang Jiabao to drink it together.

Zhang Jiabao felt that this wine was spicy in the throat, except for warming the body, it was pork with seasonings for him to feast on. The hunter brothers were very drunk, crying, laughing, and talking incoherently about the past of Wangjia Village.

Zhang Jiabao contacted back and forth, and finally figured out what they were talking about.

The man with the hunting fork is called Wang Jihu, who is Chinese New Year's Eve fourth today, ranking second. The man with the spear is called Wang Jibao, who is the third, and now he Chinese New Year's Eve is the second.

Their ancestors have been hunting for a living for generations, and in the previous generation, their father Wang Shiguo set up his own door and moved to Biluo Mountain. No quarrel with the world, self-sufficient, multiplying.

There is no problem with the degree of clothing, and occasionally you need money, so you can take some mountain treasures to a town dozens of miles away to exchange. Such days, although a little stuffy, but quiet and comfortable.

It may be that Wang Shiguo has been dealing with wild beasts all year round, which has created a bloody bravery, and the masculinity in his body is too heavy. The four children born are all with handles, and they are named Wang Jixiong, Wang Jihu, Wang Jibao, and Wang Jiwolf.

Wang Shiguo reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, the eldest and the second and third have all married wives and had children, only the eldest is not yet an adult. But he also wants to marry another lady, if he still gives birth to a son, he will be called Wang Jibang, and if he gives birth to a daughter, he will be called Wang Jiying.

It's a pity that God didn't let him fulfill this wish. A sudden earthquake collapsed all the houses, but fortunately, no one was crushed by the grass and trees, and the family of three generations and eighteen people survived.

Wang Shiguo's leg was injured and he couldn't move, so he asked the old man Wang Jiwolf to go to the town to inquire about the situation, and by the way to see if there were any casualties among his relatives, and if he didn't die, he took them to the mountains to take refuge. The three older brothers stayed behind to rebuild their houses.

In the past few days, Wang Jiwolf came back and brought back a trembling girl. He said that several uncles' and grandmother's houses had all collapsed, and no one was seen, and he had picked up a cold hand in the rubble, so he didn't go any further.

Someone called him to help save people, and he went, and it was the girl's parents who were rescued. It's just that people get it out, but it's out of gas. The girl seemed to have lost her soul, and the rescue team saw that she was pitiful, so they took her with them.

Several people insisted on saving people around the clock, without sleeping or eating. The young and vigorous Wang Jiwolf was also stimulated with enthusiasm, not to mention that there was a young girl in the team, who spared no effort and followed those people with blood and sweat.

It's just that more and more of the survivors in the town are suffering from a strange disease, foaming at the mouth, going crazy, and dying soon. The only doctor left in the town, the injury of a broken arm and leg alone was enough for him to be busy, and he couldn't solve this disease at all. Later, the doctor also contracted this disease and died.

People kept dying, Wang Jiwolf was scared, and took advantage of the rescue team's inattention, and secretly ran back with the girl.

After Wang Shiguo heard this, he knew that it was a contagious plague. scolded Wang Jiwolf for being a bad son, and wanted to drive him and the wild girl away. The old lady felt sorry for her young son, and she was crying and trying to stop her with her life.

Wang Shiguo saw that the old man and the girl's bodies were not abnormal, sighed "Stop", and left them by default.

At that time, Wang Jihu and Wang Jibao were not there, and there was no food at home, so they went out hunting and asked the eldest brother to preside over the reconstruction of the house at home. When they returned a few days later, they saw corpses all with horrible expressions and purple lips.

When the sky is clear, it is like being struck by lightning. The earthquake didn't destroy the three generations of the family, why did they destroy the family when their livelihood was just booming?

Parents are dead, the old man is dead, and all the women and children are dead. The two met the eldest brother Wang Jixiong in the half-finished wooden house, and he was the only one alive.

No matter how hoarse they asked, Wang Jixiong didn't speak as if he was stupid. They punched and kicked him, and he didn't resist.

When the two brothers calmed down, they found that the eldest brother had run away, and the grief-stricken two began to bury the bodies of their relatives. Two days later, Wang Jihu began to have headaches and vomited from time to time.

Wang Jibao finally knew that this was a plague, but not everyone would be infected, and the stronger the physique, the higher the chance of survival. He frantically took his second brother to the mountains and forests to look for herbs, and stuffed them into his mouth no matter what kind. After a fever, Wang Jihu actually got better.

But the eldest brother is no longer there. They shouldn't have lost control of their emotions and asked their big brother who was in extreme grief, let alone beat him.

But the living still have to live, and the second and third children have learned from the pain, continue to build their homes, and depend on each other for their lives.

Later, they wanted to go to the town to see if they could find the eldest brother, but on the way they saw a man eating the carrion on the ground.

The cannibal looked terrifying, his gray eyes without any sparkle, and he opened his black lips to show his fangs and roared at them. Its nails are also long and sharp.

The monster pounced on them and tried to eat them, and the two had to fight them with their weapons. Its vitality is very tenacious, with dozens of wounds on its body, and black blood does not die on the ground. Wang Jibao used a spear to break its neck before he died.

The two realized that the survivors outside had changed, and it was unclear how they had changed, and it should be related to the plague. But a man-eating monster was so difficult to deal with, and there seemed to be a few figures running towards them in the distance, so they had to dispel the idea of going to the eldest brother and hurriedly ran into the forest.

After returning, they strengthened the defenses around the wooden house group, and only moved around the nearby area, not daring to go far. Whether they go hunting or do something else, they all go in and out together, for fear that something will happen to their only relative.

Six or seven years of such caution and loneliness have passed. Every late at night, the brothers would think of the deaths of their relatives and the desperate eyes of their eldest brother. In addition to hugging each other and crying bitterly, only the beasts in the distance accompanied them.

Zhang Jiabao asked why the man-eating monster did not appear in the forest, and the hunter brother said that there were gods in the forest. Their father, Wang Shiguo, had a glimpse of it when he was young, but when he asked him what the god looked like, he never said it.
