The wild man wiped the oil paint from his face, patted his green feather clothes again, pointed to the elk antlers on his head, and explained, "I deliberately dressed up like this, just to be scary. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Scary?" Ye Zhenzhen asked in surprise, "Why?"

The wild man took out a black towel from his bosom and wiped it on his face, most of the oil paint on his face was wiped off, and a slightly fair face with folds was revealed, looking at the vicissitudes of life on his face, the wild man was already fifty or sixty years old.

The old man wiped his face, found a clean stone nearby, sat down, and straightened his clothes before he began to answer Ye Zhenzhen's words, "My old man is dressed like this just to scare those who hang fishing nets in the forest. ”

"Do you know who hung the nets here?" asked Ye Zhenzhen.

The old man nodded, sighed, and said, " You know, since last year, I have noticed them, at the beginning, only one or two people came to this forest canyon to catch bats and with fishing nets, and later, they tasted the sweetness, knowing that those bat can be sold for money, and it doesn't take much effort to catch these things with fishing nets, more and more people flock to the canyon, and the fishing nets on the trees hang more and more, but there are fewer and fewer birds in the forest, until this spring, there is an outbreak of insect infestation in the canyon forest, many small saplings have been gnawed by insects, and many big trees have also been gnawed half dead, hey......"

The old man of the wild man let out a long sigh when he said this.

Looking at the sad appearance of the savage old man, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, she and Nan Zhiqiao went all the way, and also found that the leaves of many trees in the woods were bald, and it turned out that they were gnawed by insects.

"What about after that?" Nan Zhiqiao asked.

The old man continued: "My old man lives alone in the mountains, and is most sensitive to the changes in this primeval forest, you backpackers may not feel anything, but my old man knows that if those people are allowed to catch bats and chickadees with fishing nets unscrupulously, and the day when the bats are caught will also be the end of this forest, the forest where my old man lives will be gone, so I will have to live a way, so I have thought of a way to drive away those who pull fishing nets." ”

"So, you disguised yourself as a wild man to scare them, and the legend of the wild man that was circulating outside turned out to be made by you. Ye Zhenzhen finally understood that the savage that her uncle said was really something.

The old man of the wild man talked about his experience of pretending to be a wild man, " In the spring of this year, I found that there were fewer and fewer birds such as chickadees in the mountains, the leaves were gnawed by insects, and at night, the bats were almost gone, and the usual sound of birds and insects became the movement of pests gnawing leaves, and I suddenly remembered a legend handed down by the older generation, which said that there was a mountain god living in this primeval forest, if people revered and worshiped the mountain god, the mountain god would show divine power and protect the mountain forest, and if someone offended the mountain god, the mountain god would summon the demons and monsters in hell to punish those who violated him. My old man wanted to pretend to be a mountain god and scare those who went into the mountains to hang fishing nets. ”

"This savage costume of yours turned out to be a mountain god. Looking at the old man's outfit, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but want to laugh.

The old man continued: "Well, this set of mountain god costumes took me two days of hard work, using all the bird feathers and antlers that I had accumulated at home, and it really looked like that, at first, the people who entered the canyon were scared away when they saw my appearance, but there were still a few brave ones, who still went in and out of the canyon with fishing nets every day, and one of them almost caught me. ”

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly remembered what her uncle said about the patient who was bitten by a wild man and went crazy and died, and couldn't help but ask the old man, "Have you bitten someone?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he nodded, " It was to bite a person, this spring, I just started to play the mountain god not long after, one day, found two strong men with a bag of fishing nets are hanging around in the canyon forest, I just want to scare and scare them, who knows, I just appeared, they were a little scared at first, but one of them short, the head seems to be a little lively, reacted, but chased me over, while chasing back and shouting, to catch the wild man, I was caught by him, in a hurry, he bit him, and then later, I did not see him come, however, the strong man with him still often comes, today, I also saw him carrying two bags of bats out of the canyon。 ”

"I see, that strong man really has something to do with the patient who went crazy and died. Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Do you know that the person who was bitten by you went crazy and died in more than a month after he went back." ”

"Ahh ”

Ye Zhenzhen explained: "I heard that the person who went crazy and died was bitten by a wild man in the north of the forest park, and then fell ill and died. ”

The old man of the wild man didn't believe that the person was bitten to death by himself, and loudly defended himself, "Impossible, I just bit him, and it was only bitten on the back of my hand, it was not fatal at all, if he really died, it was also because he offended the mountain god and was tortured to death by the messenger of hell sent by the mountain god." ”

"Hell Messenger, what Hell Messenger?" Ye Zhenzhen asked puzzled and curious.

"It's a bat, the older generation of people say that the bat is the guest invited by the mountain god from hell, you can't offend the bat, otherwise you will be cursed, that person caught so many bats, he was taken back to hell by the bat. ”

Ye Zhenzhen heard what the old man of the savage said, so she naturally didn't believe it, but Nan Zhiqiao suddenly asked, "Old man, have you seen the person who was bitten by you and also bitten by a bat?"

"How do you know?" the old man looked at Nan Zhiqiao in surprise and asked, "How do you know so well? That day, those two people were collecting fishing nets in the canyon forest, and the short man was bitten on the finger by a live bat in the fishing net, and he was still scolding at the time, and he fell to death on the spot that bit him, so I remember it very clearly." ”

"That's right. Nan Zhiqiao analyzed: "Zhen Zhen, you said before that the patient who went crazy and died was a symptom of rabies, he was bitten by a bat, and bats can carry rabies virus, there are many such cases of rabies transmitted by bats, and he can be regarded as dying at the hands of his prey." ”

When the savage old man heard this, Nan Zhiqiao analyzed that it was not because of a human bite, but because of a bat, and hurriedly echoed: "That's it, he was taken back to hell by a bat." ”

"I don't know if I went to hell or not. Nan Zhiqiao continued, "However, the name 'Hell's Guest' is also worthy of the name of the bat. ”
