Lao Du put on his coat and took a flashlight, looked around Yan Xiaoyi's tent inside and out, found nothing, and said suspiciously: "Where is there a snake?" On this day, the snakes are hibernating to ......"

Yun Kai was disturbed by his good dream, and said angrily: "Yan Xiaoyi, are you drinking high?" In such a cold weather, could there be snakes? ”

"You don't believe me, I'm telling the truth!" Yan Xiaoyi still had palpitations, and said aggrievedly: "I crawled in through the gap in the tent." Slippery and cold, two feet long and finger-thick, not a snake, what is it? ”

"Then why don't we have snakes in your tent?"

"Damn, who do I ask if you ask me?"

The two brothers and sisters were also awakened, and Ling Yixiang poked her head out of the tent, yawned and said, "I know, you are the reincarnation of Xu Xian, and the snake spirit is looking for you......"

Ling Guangyu glared at his sister and said, "It's just you!" Hurry up and go to bed! ”

Ling Yixiang pouted and retracted into the tent and pulled the zipper with her hand. Yan Xiaoyi didn't dare to sleep alone, so he insisted on squeezing into Yunkai's tent, Yunkai had no way to take this goods, and after threatening him to dare to snore, he kicked and flew away, and moved a position inside.

After the two of them made do and lay down, Yun Kai still felt that this matter was a little suspicious. He had sprinkled realgar powder around the tent before, and snakes and insects were sensitive to the smell of realgar and generally took the initiative to avoid it. On the other hand, with Yan Xiaoyi's amount of alcohol, that bit of liquor is like gargling, and he has no reason to deliberately deceive people, if there is really a snake, where did it come from?

The barren mountains and mountains were three watches in the middle of the night, and Yunkai couldn't verify it, so he could only hold back the doubts in his heart, and he fell asleep after a while. Early the next morning, two groups of people set off and formed a road, one in front and one in the back, along the machine farming road at the edge of the primeval forest, driving deep into the mountains.

A few decades ago, the land was a real primeval jungle, a wild land off the beaten track. Since the opening of the highway in the 70s of the last century, the horn of Shennongjia's large-scale development has sounded, and most of the primeval forests have been cut down, and only the primeval jungle areas near the two peaks of Shennongjia and Shennongjia have survived. Yunkai and Yan Xiaoyi wanted to pass through the small Shennongjia to the big Shennongjia to collect medicine, and the Lingjia brothers and sisters wanted to go into the mountains to find traces of the savages, so they ignored the obstruction of the two guides and prepared to cross the logging area of the year and drill into the old forests of Wanshan in the mountains behind Shennong.

After walking for about two or three hours, Lao Du stopped the car, got out of the car and checked the terrain and said, "The road ahead is too narrow to walk." Shall we take a break here? ”

Yun Kai and Yan Xiaoyi jumped out of the car and stood on the side of the machine plow road and looked into the distance. At this time, there was a heavy fog in the forest, and the road was surrounded by dense bamboo forests, and only milky white fog could be seen ten meters away, and the scenery was good, but it was a pity that the vision was too short. It is estimated that there is no communication base station nearby, and mobile phones and GPS have become decorations, Yan Xiaoyi reluctantly put the mobile phone into her backpack and asked, "Brother Du, where are we here?" ”

"This place is called Jianzhugou, I have been here once or twice, probably located between the small Shennongjia and the big Shennongjia, when the forest area was cut down here, the front is the real primeval jungle, the foot of the main peak of the great Shennongjia, because there is a deep ditch in the middle of the arrow bamboo forest, so it is called Jianzhugou."

"If you take the tourist route, you will go up from the other side of the Great Shennongjia to the top of Shennong, which is more than ten kilometers away from where we are now." Lao Du climbed into the cargo compartment from the back of the car, turned out a machete, jumped down from the carriage and said: "Don't underestimate these more than ten kilometers, there is only a rugged path walked by the medicine pickers in the middle, if you really want to climb over it, you have to walk at least 100 kilometers." I haven't walked this road, I only heard the medicine pickers in the village mentioned it before, I don't know if it can be walked now, I heard that there is a cliff in the middle called Ghost Gate Pass, there is a stone bridge called Nai He Bridge, the road is dangerous, not to mention, there are fierce beasts and poisonous insects, Brother Du is not scaring you, it is indeed very dangerous - do you really want to pass through here and go into the back mountain of Shennong to collect medicine? ”

Yan Xiaoyi glanced at Yun Kai and didn't speak, but his excited and excited eyes betrayed his true thoughts, didn't he just follow Yun Kai to explore, how can it be called exploration without taking risks? And Yunkai's pharmacist, who is proud of his unique skills, is compared to the medicine pickers in the mountains, where will this face be placed? The two of them are determined to go through this experience.

The car behind also followed at this time, and the Guangyu brothers and sisters got out of the car, Ling Yixiang looked at the misty bamboo forest like a fairyland, hazy and mysterious, shouting happily, turning in circles on tiptoes, dark green fur flying up and down, like a proud peacock dancing in the forest, Yan Xiaoyi, who was not dealing with her, muttered: "Peacock girl!" It is estimated that only savages can take a fancy to her......"

Yan Xiaoyi was not a fool, he intuitively suspected that the snake that got into his tent last night was eighty percent related to the Peacock Girl, the reason was Ling Yixiang's cynicism at that time, and Ling Guangyu's strange expression at that time. These brothers and sisters don't know where they come from, and they dare to plunge into the old forests of Wanshan and Wushan, and they don't seem to be ordinary people.

At this time, it was already noon, and the two groups of people were a little hungry, so they each took out gas canisters and stoves from the car, and put them in the middle of the machine plow to make a fire for cooking. After tossing for more than an hour, when I finished eating and packing my luggage, the dense fog around me suddenly dispersed, and the mountain behind Shennong, which was hidden under the fog, revealed a thrilling and beautiful figure.

Several people's eyes crossed the verdant bamboo forest, the mountainside of Shennong back mountain is colorful, clusters of fiery red maple leaves, bright yellow ginkgo, verdant pines and cypresses, each showing their colors under the blue sky, and the towering Shennong snow top, in the light gauze of the clouds, looming to reveal a snow-white appearance, like a gorgeous dress but covered with a white veil of stunning fairy, dizzying, intoxicated.

This is the holy place in the minds of Chinese pharmacists, Shennong Back Mountain!

An uncontrollable impulse welled up in Yun Kai's chest, eager to plunge into this ancient and mysterious mountain, even if he was crushed. What is not known is that when Shennongjia set up a forest area to cut down forests, including the old man, the people in the medicine gate repeatedly spoke out to stop it, and it was only ten years later that the high-level issued a ban, and finally kept this holy land at the last moment, Yunkai came to Dashennongjia for the first time in adulthood, not so much to collect medicine, but to come to the holy land to complete the coming-of-age ceremony, how could he not be excited?

The magnificent and beautiful scenery made everyone stop and stand in the forest and look into the distance, as if they were fascinated. Just when Yun Xingxing was fascinated, Ling Yixiang, who was not far away, suddenly pointed to the mountainside and whispered to Ling Guangyu: "Brother, look! ”

Ling Guangyu looked in the direction of his sister's finger, not far above the bamboo forest, above the cliff with strange rocks, a brown figure stood still, very inconspicuous in the colorful autumn colors, and I don't know if it was a gorilla, a brown bear or another animal. Ling Guangyu picked up the binoculars, aimed at the animal and adjusted the focus to look carefully, his face was immediately filled with joy, and he lowered his voice and said excitedly: "That's it!" Yixiang, we found it, found it! ”

"Catch up?"

"Chase!" Ling Guangyu put down the binoculars, calmed down a bit, turned around and pretended to be okay and said to the guide's sister-in-law: "Sister, let's go up the mountain from here, you don't have to follow." ”

"Then I'll take your luggage down for you, and you guys be careful!" The sister-in-law was not too surprised, obviously she had discussed it in advance.

Ling Guangyu took out his wallet, directly took out a stack of money and handed it to her and said, "I'll pay you the fee first, please wait for us here for two days." If we don't come down after two days, it's over the mountain to the tourist area, you can go back by yourself, thank you! ”

Ling Yixiang took off her fur coat and changed into a camouflage jacket, the brother and sister hurriedly put on their luggage, said hello to Yunkai and Yan Xiaoyi casually, and quickly walked into the arrow bamboo forest, disappearing into the dense forest one after the other.

Yan Xiaoyi, who was inexplicable, stared at the disappeared backs of the two and muttered, "This Shenma situation? ”

Yun Kai's eyes flickered, and after a while, he said, "Let's catch up and have a look!" ”

Lao Du was surprised and wanted to stop it, but the two were unmoved and insisted on taking the path of collecting medicine. Yunkai said to Lao Du: "Brother Du, why don't you wait for us here like your sister-in-law?" ”

Lao Du hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go in with you, I've been a hunter before......"

The three of them quickly dragged their luggage from the car, and after Lao Du greeted the sister-in-law, he followed the two into the arrow bamboo forest. Because few people walk, the footprints of the Guangyu brothers and sisters are very clear, through the arrow bamboo forest and then into a maple forest, the maple forest is full of fallen leaves, the forest is a fiery red, the afternoon sun through the treetops and cracks, like a dreamlike fairyland.

Yun Kai and Yan Xiaoyi were suspicious of the Ling brothers and sisters, and they had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery, so they hurriedly hurried forward along the footprints. The maple forest is located on the slope at the foot of the mountain, and the higher you go, the steeper it becomes, and when you are about to pass out of the maple forest and enter a shrub, Yunkai, who is walking in front, suddenly stops.

"Is it swollen?" Yan Xiaoyi stopped beside Yun Kai and asked.

"It's strange that the footprints are suddenly gone!"

"Ah, won't they be able to fly?" Yan Xiaoyi bent down, circled around, and found that the footprints passed all the way from the maple leaf forest, but suddenly disappeared here, and suddenly his face changed and said, "They won't meet a beast and be taken away, right?" ”

Yun Kai shook his head and said, "Impossible." Although there are footprints of wild beasts here, there are no signs of a fight and no traces of blood. ”

Although Lao Du had been a hunter, his physical strength was not as strong as that of a young man with strong blood, so he caught up with him angrily at this time. He was also stunned after listening to the two of them, he grew up in this land since he was a child, and he had heard a lot of strange things, but he had never encountered a strange thing where a big living person disappeared out of thin air, was it really captured by a wild man? It is said that the wild man is a bigfoot monster, and there are no big footprints on the ground, which is really strange.

Yun Kai buried his head and walked back a few steps, then walked back to Yan Xiaoyi's side and whispered, "Xiaoyi, have you noticed, there is a strange thing......

"What's the matter?"

"The depth of the footprints!" Yun Kai touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "The brothers and sisters of the Ling family set off from the camp to the arrow bamboo forest, and the depth of their footprints is about the same as ours, but after entering the maple leaf forest, it is different-their footprints are much shallower than ours, and the distance between them is much larger......"

"You mean, that brother and sister are martial arts masters?!" Yan Xiaoyi suddenly realized: "They didn't want to attract attention when they set off, so they deliberately slowed down and performed light skills as soon as they left our sight, so we didn't catch up in a hurry?" ”

"That's how it should be."

"That still doesn't explain the sudden disappearance? Could it be the legendary snow treading without a trace? ”

"Traceless your sister!" Yun Kai rolled his eyes and said angrily: "This is a modern city, okay, you think it's a fantasy novel!" ”

The two of them were staring at each other in confusion when they suddenly heard a terrible and angry roar from the cliff a few miles away!
