5. A place where the devil haunts

Savage Mountain is a long and narrow river valley with more than 400 kilometers of mountains and rivers. To the west is the Hugang Valley, and to the east is the Gaoligong Mountains. The primeval forest is densely vegetated, and the thousand-year-old trees are entwined with thousand-year-old vines. Legend has it that there are "wild men" here, with tall bodies, long arms and red hair, and "Yoyo" cries to find companions, echoing in the valley. Locals near Myitkyina have given the place the name "Hukang Valley", which means "place where devils haunt" in Burmese.

Entering the depths of the dense forest, the rain is also very strange, one hour it rains heavily, and the next hour it stops, as if someone in the sky is pressing a switch, and so on and so forth. At this time, the army did not look like a unit, and the clothes, hats, and large and small oilcloths all came in handy. In less than a week, many people fell ill, and all kinds of strange diseases spread among the troops. Zhang Minmin, who is usually the best and strongest in health, also fell ill, with a high fever that did not go away, and the itching was unbearable everywhere on his body.

Zhao Xiaochun called Wang Yueyue to look for wild chrysanthemums and wild lilies for Zhang Minmin, Zhao Xiaochun had read some books on traditional Chinese medicine, and knew that these two plants might be of some use to Zhang Minmin's disease. But they could only find a little nearby, and they thought about looking a little farther away. The hard work paid off, and the steel helmet was slowly filled. Before they knew it, the two had left the army far away. At this moment the wind was blowing in the woods, and the wind was blowing on the branches or something, making a "chirping" sound, and at a moment one heard what looked like the miserable cry of a woman, mixed with the shrill howl of a wolf. Not far away, there seemed to be a flash of green light, and I don't know what kind of animal's eyes it was.

Wang Yueyue's legs and feet were already weak, she took Zhao Xiaochun's hand and said, "Sister, are there really wild people?" "No, don't be afraid, that's just a legend." In fact, Zhao Xiaochun's heart was also furious, she seemed to see a big black shadow flashing in front of her, and squeezed Wang Yueyue's hand tightly. Wang Yueyue is still pestering the wild man: "I heard that the wild man likes to eat human flesh raw, and he likes to eat the heart and liver of the human the most", she heard nonsense somewhere. "There may be no savages in the world at all, they have all evolved, and they have evolved into people who wear clothes like us", Zhao Xiaochun's biological knowledge was suddenly enriched, at this time, she was the eldest sister, and she couldn't be afraid of it. She settled down and said to Wang Yueyue: "Now we can't think blindly, hurry up and find the way back", Zhao Xiaochun looked up at the sky, there were no stars in the sky, she thought, even if there were stars, they couldn't see it, and only a sieve-sized area on their heads was not covered by leaves.

"The place with dense branches should be south, then the other side is north", Zhao Xiaochun said to himself, running around in the forest with his brother when he was a child, and learned a lot. At this time, Wang Yueyue was not afraid, she said: "Eldest sister, we may also become savages, if we eat wild fruits every day, and wait for the clothes on our bodies to rot one day, won't we become savages?" He giggled as he spoke. Zhao Xiaochun actually admired this little girl a little in her heart, she burned her buttocks, and she actually had the demeanor to find fun.

However, after Wang Yueyue said and laughed, Zhao Xiaochun became less nervous just now. The two held hands and groped their way back. The wind was quieter, and all kinds of sounds became louder, as if they really heard the shouts of the savages "Yo Yo Yo" echoing in the valley, five or six little monkeys "Yo Yo Yo" crawled past them, Zhao Xiaochun's feet touched a pile of white bones, I don't know if the road was left by people or animals. She trembled for a while, and didn't say anything about the white bones, for fear of scaring Wang Yueyue. Wang Yueyue said that she was not afraid, but she pulled Zhao Xiaochun's hand tighter and tighter, but she was sweating in her heart.

The two walked for more than an hour, their backs hurt, and Wang Yueyue's clothes on her back were already stuck with sweat. Zhao Xiaochun felt that the shape of the two ancient vines wrapped around an ancient tree was very familiar, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he looked closely. "Damn, the road has been gone for more than an hour, and it has returned to the original point", Wang Yueyue also exclaimed in surprise, it turned out that the two of them had returned to the place where they picked wild chrysanthemums and finished work. This ghost place is really a place where the devil stays, Zhao Xiaochun felt a slight coolness on his back.
