Volume I, The Death of the Cycle Chapter 45 Traces

"I'll say a few ......"

The old village chief slammed the cigarette gun in his hand on the table, and a little spark splashed out of the mouth of the cigarette gun.

"Today's incident may be caused by the anger of the mountain god."

"So we have to ask the mountain god for forgiveness!"

At this time, a man standing in the corner, with some thief eyebrows, couldn't help but say a word to the old village chief.

"Old village chief, the mountain temple has been broken like that, how can there still be a mountain god? If it was really the mountain god who was angry, he should have been angry a long time ago, how could it be that he waited until today!"

Hearing that the man was disrespectful to the mountain god, the old village chief suddenly angrily slammed the cigarette gun in his hand on the table, and more sparks bounced off the table, and then gradually extinguished in the air.

At the beginning of the construction of our remote mountain village, countless forest beasts attacked our remote mountain village, and it was only by relying on the protection of the mountain god that we could survive and multiply. ”

"Now that beast is attacking the distant mountain village, I am afraid that the mountain god is angry and deliberately uses the beast to bring disaster to us, this is the mountain god's warning to us!"

Seeing that the old village chief was angry, the thief-eyed man couldn't help but shrink his head, and continued to hide back in the crowd.

A burly man thought twice before he stepped forward.

"I seem to have dreamed of a man last night, who was covered in golden light, and looked a little like the mountain god sculpture in the mountain temple, and he told me to go to the mountain to find a plane tree......"

After the man finished speaking, the villagers gathered in the thatched hut immediately began to talk about it, and they suddenly remembered that they seemed to have had the same dream last night, and they also dreamed of a golden man.

Someone couldn't help but stand up and ask:

"Is the plane tree you talking about in a big plane tree on the mountainside of the West Mountain, I also seem to have dreamed that someone told me to go there!"

The man with a burly voice thought carefully for a moment.

"I don't remember exactly, but there was only one plane tree near our distant mountain village. ”

At this moment, all the villagers echoed and said:

"If it's the plane tree, I think I'm dreaming of ...... too."

"Yes, that's right, the man also said to let me go and find something under the plane tree. ”

"Why did you all dream of that man? Could it be that he really a mountain god?"

looked at the gossip of everyone.

The old village chief once again called the cigarette gun to fall on the table, but this time the cigarette gun had already been extinguished, and there were no sparks coming out.

"Before it gets dark, let's go up the hill and see what's under the plane tree, and then everything will be known. ”

Seeing that the villager was hesitant, the old man sighed.

"If all this is really the punishment of the mountain god for us, then what the mountain god wants most is for us to know our mistakes, and this may be our last chance, because we may not be able to escape the next time!"

The burly man turned his head and made up his mind, but saw that everyone was avoiding him with their eyes lowered, and at this moment the man could only be ruthless, called a few people and began to walk outside.

Among the rest, someone asked weakly.

"Old village chief, is it really okay for them to go like this?"

The old village chief did not speak, but put a cigarette gun that had long been extinguished in his mouth and smoked it slowly.

But at this moment, the old village chief did not realize that the smoking gun had long been extinguished.

......

"Big brother, why don't we go back?"

The man from before also came out, but not long after he left, he kept beating in the ear of the burly man, and the man seemed to know the man's virtue, and continued to walk forward without paying attention to him.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the burly man, the thief-eyed man couldn't help but stomp his feet angrily, but when he turned to look at the empty forest around him, he could only grit his teeth and continue to follow.

Soon before the sun set, they had reached the plane tree that the man in the dream had spoken of, and they found that the plane tree was covered with a layer of snow.

It's just that there is snow on one side of the plane tree, and there is a bit of a dent.

The man on the side couldn't help but ask strangely:

"Was there a pit here?"

At this time, the burly man was also a little puzzled, but since they had already come here, they must need to verify it, so these people began to clear the snow around the plane tree with their bare hands.

When clearing up to five or six inches down the snow.

They were horrified to find that there was a small pit that had been compacted under the snow, and more importantly, from the edge of the pothole, there was probably a person lying here before.

It's just that at this time, the person lying here has disappeared.

When the night takes away the last shred of light, the snow should shine on the cold moonlight above the sky.

These men looked at each other, a chill spread along their vertebrae and swirled directly to their brains, they didn't dare to imagine what kind of people would be here.

The thief-eyed man's lips trembled a little and said:

"Big brother, let's go!"

The other villagers also nodded.

"Yes, let's go back and let the village chief decide!"

But the burly man was squatting on the ground at this moment, and his fingers lightly traced the shape of the figure in the snow, and then he found that the figure covered in snow was not the only place.

The burly man hurriedly continued to clear the surrounding snow, and although the surrounding men were still terrified when they saw this, they did not leave the burly man behind, and also helped to clear the surrounding places.

When the snow was cleared, they realized that there was a clear indentation that spread from the side of the tough potholed snow all the way down the mountain, and that direction was their distant mountain village.

......

"Old village chief, old village chief, they're back!"

Seeing the group of men who had gone up the mountain coming back, some people hurriedly returned to the old village chief's thatched hut, and after a while, the burly man returned to the thatched hut with his men who had gone up the mountain.

Seeing this, the old village chief immediately asked:

"What do you see under the plane tree?"

Several villagers who went up the mountain looked at each other, but finally the burly man stood up and said:

"When we were going up the mountain, we found a shallow pit covered with snow around the sycamore tree, and the appearance of the pit indicated that there was once a person lying there. ”

"And last night's snowstorm, the man was curled up in the snow, and he was probably still frozen there, but we didn't find anything around the pit."

"And as we continued to clear the snow, we found a human-shaped indentation, which seemed to be a sign of sliding, and it was clear that someone had dragged the man down the hill. ”

At this time, the thief-eyed man said in fear:

"Old village chief, is it because we didn't save that person, so the mountain god came down as a punishment?"

But at this time, the old village chief shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid it's not the mountain god ......"

This made the villagers on the side instantly anxious.

"The old village chief just said that it was the mountain god who was angry, so the disaster befell our distant mountain village, but at this time you shook your head, what do you mean, old village chief?"

The old village chief raised his head, looked at everyone, and said:

"I guessed that we might have done something wrong in our remote mountain village, which caused disaster to befall us, but the man under the plane tree that the mountain god sent us to have obviously been rescued......"

"I don't know who saved him, but in any case, the man has already left the plane tree, so I'm afraid that this disaster is not the cause of the mountain god's anger. ”

"Let's go home and deal with the situation at home, and then go spontaneously to find out which family saved the man under the plane tree. ”

The old village chief originally planned to find the man tonight, but when the old village chief saw the dusty and tired faces of the surrounding villagers, he still said:

"If you find it, just come here and tell me when the time comes, if the others can't find it, go back and rest first, and let's discuss it again the next morning, that's it, let's go!"

"Yes, village chief!"
