Chapter 174: The mountain road is crooked

Although it is the bleak and cold midwinter season, the undulating and layered mountains of Luoxi Township are still lush and green, radiating pleasing vitality to the eye. Look, the ancient pines are tall and tall, the giant camphor is simple and vigorous, the spruce is graceful, and there are frost-dyed maple leaves like a flame like the morning glow, or the stars are dotted in the meantime, or the branches and leaves are lined up one after another, the color is warm and unrestrained, dazzling to the eye, and in a trance people return to the spring March when the mountains are full of flowers.

On the winding and branch-covered path, three young people, a man, two women, walked slowly. The woman's figure is graceful, her long hair is fluttering, and a set of light yellow and light green sportswear shows her youthful beauty and vitality. They sang and laughed all the way. Suddenly, he screamed and leaned down to pluck a few grasses and leaves, and put them in his pocket like treasures; Suddenly, they laughed and ran and chased each other, and then they both looked back and waved, urging each other remotely; Suddenly, he raised his camera frequently and aimed at the deep mountains and valleys to shoot "click" for a while. The beautiful singing, the cheerful laughter, and the vigorous posture suddenly added infinite vitality and vitality to this quiet and deep mountain forest. The man was tall, strong and handsome, with a resolute and ruthless look on his angular face, and occasionally a rare smile appeared. With a machete at his waist and an ancient gun in his hand, he walked slowly with steady and powerful steps, and his eagle-like eyes scanned the surrounding jungle like radar from time to time, ready to deal with all sudden changes.

Needless to say, those three young people are naturally Xu Wenlong, Yang Yingying and Li Jing!

After bidding farewell to Luo Youming and others, Xu Wenlong was soon entangled by Li Jing and Yang Yingying. They clinged to him like shadows, and they had to go to visit Xu Wenming together, and Xu Wenjuan and his wife fanned the flames and tried their best to fan the flames on the side, forcing him to take them with him.

Xu Wenming's family lives in Qingshi Pai, Luoxi Township, and it takes more than ten miles of mountain roads to reach it. In the meantime, you must pass through a dense forest area that is uninhabited and infested with wild beasts - Wild Boar Pass. It is a smaller, more remote, more isolated mountain village with only a few dozen households. Xu Wenming was both a principal and a teacher in this small mountain village, patiently and carefully teaching more than 20 naughty and naughty primary school students. Because there were too many people to be busy, and the teachers from other places refused to enter the village, they simply brought their wives and sons to the school and became a voluntary handyman who did not occupy the establishment and did not receive a salary. Usually help students with hot meals, do hygiene, and at a critical moment, you can also substitute for the teacher to help maintain classroom discipline. On rainy days, you have to change the clothes of the wild and muddy children. Because he lives on only one person's meager salary, his life is not bleak.

After arriving at Xujia Village, Xu Wenlong left the car at the door of an acquaintance's house, took Li Jing and Yang Yingying, who were in high mood and excited, and walked along the rugged mountain road with seven turns and eight bends and peaks and turns, all the way to the almost uncivilized bluestone row.

"Slow down, don't go so fast, there's a boar col ahead!" Xu Wenlong walked a few steps, caught up with Li Jing and Yang Yingying, who were trotting, and reminded the old gun in his hand.

"Afraid of what? Is there still a tiger? If there is a tiger in the middle of the day, it will be called an unexpected joy! I'll be sure to take a few photos of it up close! Li Jing kept pressing the shutter on a cliff in the distance that was hanging in the air and abrupt and shaped like an eagle's beak, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"There are no tigers, they have long been extinct, but lone wolves, jackals, long snakes, and giant pythons are still heard of from time to time. Wild boars, in particular, often drag their families and flee out of the jungle in groups, frantically digging and erecting arches in the crops, wreaking havoc, and even attacking single passers-by when they are hungry! Xu Wenlong frowned and replied with a serious face.

"It can't be true, right?" Yang Yingying timidly looked at the dense layers of woods on both sides, and said with a slight change of color on her face, "Could it be that wild boars also eat people?" It's incredible! ”

"Cannibalism is rarely heard of, unless it's hungry and crazy." Xu Wenlong shook his head and said, "But it will hurt people, and it is fierce and irritable, and its strength is huge, if it is accidentally stabbed by its pair of fangs, it will not die but will also be seriously injured, and there was a wild boar attack in the neighboring village a few years ago." ”

"What about the man? The result? Does it matter? Yang Yingying trembled, her body unconsciously clinging to Xu Wenlong, looking terrified, "Will it be serious?" ”

Li Jing also stopped taking pictures, came over with a smile, and looked at Xu Wenlong who was talking with curiosity.

Xu Wenlong said gloomily: "It's more serious, a thigh was poked horizontally by the fangs of a wild boar, and a big hole was stabbed, and he became a lifelong disabled person, and he can only rely on crutches to walk." ”

"What about wild boars? What happened to the boar? Has it been ...... Have you been ......" Yang Yingying clenched her fists and asked angrily with her apricot eyes open.

"Escaped, escaped!" Xu Wenlong said regretfully, "When the middle-aged woodcutter who chopped wood saw that the momentum was not good, he immediately shouted for help, but when everyone came with hoes and iron palladium, the wild boar still pierced his thigh, and the bloody pushed him dozens of meters away, and finally ran into the dense forest without a trace." ”

"Then why don't you organize everyone to go hunting? Do you just let it get away with it? Li Jing asked with a frown.

"Of course not!" Xu Wenlong shook his head and denied, "Later, the middle-aged hunters from several villages took joint action, and even dispatched the police and militia to search, investigate, and wait for the mountain where the wild boar may be infested, hoping to destroy it in one fell swoop and eliminate harm for the people." But after tossing for several days, he still found nothing, and he didn't even see a single bristle, so he finally had to return disappointed empty-handed. It is said that the wild boar is the pig king in this area, named 'Heisha', fat and strong, huge body, black as charcoal, more than 300 pounds in weight, a pair of fangs protruding from the mouth, like two sharp scimitars, Bai Sensen is very terrifying, and the power is incomparable, coming and going like the wind, just like the old monster who has become a fine is as sensitive and abnormal, cunning and treacherous, so it is difficult for ordinary people to find its traces, let alone want to hunt it. ”

"That'...... Isn't that scary? Yang Yingying stared around, as if there was a fierce "black demon" hidden in every bush and pile of thatch, dragging a pair of fangs to stare at her.

"Sample, no matter how fierce and terrible it is, as long as you don't provoke it or attack it, you won't take the initiative to hurt people! Besides, the gun in your hand is not vegetarian either, although it is a little older, a little older! Li Jing grinned, and ran to the front briskly with the camera in hand. In fact, she was so nervous that she couldn't do it, but she was a little more at ease with Xu Wenlong's escort, and she didn't want to hide under other people's wings like Yang Yingying.

"It's better to be careful, don't run too far alone!" Xu Wenlong hurriedly warned her. Just in case, he also poured out the iron sand in the chamber of the old gun and replaced it with a thick and sharp iron bar. Iron sand can only fight small animals such as hares and pheasants, and it will not help at all against large animals such as wild boars.
