Chapter 3: Revisiting Shennongjia

In the western border of the land of Jingchu, near 30 degrees north latitude, there is a magical place, towering between the Yangtze River and the Han River, east of Baokang in western Hubei Province, west of Chongqing, south of Bashu, north near Wudang; Favored by heaven and earth, the treasure of heaven and earth, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful.

It is Shennongjia,

Shennongjia does not have the majesty of Kunlun, nor the majesty of Mount Tai, but its magic is unparalleled in the world.

Here, large water monsters, four-horned beasts, wild people, and even legendary beasts will inadvertently give people a glimpse!

Therefore, countless travelers flock to it.

I'm no exception.

……

I haven't been to Shennongjia for several years, and I was going to go to Beijing to watch one or two Olympic games, and then I went to Shennongjia to play for ten days and a half months.

"The sea, I have booked the ticket to Shennongjia, as long as you nod, we will leave tomorrow." After glancing at Wang Dahai, I still hope that he can go with me.

"Boss, look at me like this, can you go out to meet people?" Wang Dahai pointed to his face and said with a bitter expression.

Also, his current face with a blue nose and swollen face is really difficult to see his family, so I have to give up.

"Okay, you can stay in the club to recuperate from your injuries, and remember to put away the jade pendant." I instructed.

Wang Dahai nodded yes, and said with concern: "Brother Lang, you must also pay attention to safety when you go to the forest." ”

I patted Wang Dahai on the shoulder, nodded, everything was in plain sight!

……

On the second day of leaving Shenzhen, which is also the closing day of the Olympic Games, it is regrettable that he missed the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics; For this expedition, even the closing ceremony was now missed.

It can only be said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws.

This is the edge of the Shennongjia forest area, if you go further inside, it is a primeval forest that cannot be seen at a glance, and it is too dangerous inside, so it is not open to ordinary tourists.

This is my third expedition to Shennongjia. I have been here twice in the past few years, and I remember that last time I dragged Wang Dahai into Shennongjia and experienced the savage life for half a month. That kid was looking for a signal all over the forest at the time, and I don't know if he was complaining to each other with his first girlfriends... In short, that kid is so virtuous.

……

Drill into the vast mountain forest, find a secluded mountain path, meander and twist, the road turns with the peak, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the eighteen bends of the mountain road, the birds and insects are singing along the way, the mountain spring is bubbling, there is a little bit of winding path through the secluded wonder.

Walking through the inaccessible mountain road like this, it is like spinning in a labyrinth, the mountain road is deep and difficult to walk, without Wang Dahai as a guide, there are always mistakes along the way, and I almost got lost several times. After stumbling and walking for more than an hour, finally, in the depths of the vast forest, a small bungalow with red bricks and blue tiles gradually appeared in the swaying bamboo forest.

I was so excited that I almost cried!

"This hellish place is too hard to find!" After complaining, I wiped my sweat and breathed a long sigh of relief when I saw the familiar hut.

"Xiao Shen, why did you arrive so soon!" A loud voice suddenly sounded.

I looked up and saw a middle-aged man of forty-five or sixteen flashing in front of the house, his body was thick and strong, his face was Chinese, except for a little darker, his appearance was seven or eight points similar to Wang Dahai.

Yes, this is the old bean of the sea, I call him Uncle Wang, and the small red brick and blue tile bungalow in the forest is Wang Dahai's hometown.

I heard that Uncle Wang used to be a well-known hunter in this 100-mile radius, but since Shennongjia became a national reserve more than ten years ago, Uncle Wang also followed the trend of the times and turned from a hunter to the captain of the forest ranger brigade in the southern area of Shennongjia.

"Uncle Wang, I'm here to disturb you again." I smiled and handed over the gift and greeted Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang was not polite to me, and after receiving the gift, he walked and chatted with me, and entered his house one after the other.

After greeting Uncle Wang, we talked about the jade pendant.

The original story of the matter is similar to what the sea said, the black blind man was really stabbed to death by the jade pendant, and the iron arrow did not shoot deeply, so it could not kill the black blind man at all.

Uncle Wang found the arrow, and I looked over and over again, and it really looked like the ancient arrow on display in the museum.

I became even more curious, talked to Uncle Wang about it, and offered to go around the woods.

Like the previous times, Uncle Wang still shook his head like a rattle, and he was as verbose as the reincarnation of Tang Seng. He even threatened: "If you are injured by a cat or a dog in the forest, how can I explain to the sea?" ”

A cat and a dog are actually a metaphor for the tiger and wolf in the mountains, I directly took Uncle Wang's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, patted my chest and gambled on the curse: "Can't you see my body?" Even if I meet any cats or tigers, I will catch them and give you wine; Besides, you see—"

I pulled out the thick-backed machete hanging on my waist, showing off and dangling in front of Uncle Wang, the snow-bright blade reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, and Uncle Wang couldn't open his eyes.

"How? Uncle Wang, I asked a friend to bring this sword back from Germany, and it cost me a thousand dollars. I bragged. Then he took out a delicate repeating crossbow from his backpack, and shook it happily in front of Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang slapped away my hand holding the crossbow and scolded with a smile: "My eyes are shook, you kid is really not big or small!" ”

I hurriedly corrected my attitude, and while smiling and being careful, I continued to brag with added fuel and vinegar: "Look at this bow and crossbow, made of special alloys, and it is a serious aerospace material. You see," I pointed to a square metal box on the crossbow, "it has a box of ten crossbow arrows, which can be fired in single shots or in bursts, and within fifty meters of a hundred shots, and can shoot through finger-thick steel plates, which is much more powerful than the police pistol used by the policeman's uncle." ”

What a failure!

Even if my tongue is bright lotus, the cowhide is blowing loudly, and the big lies are spraying all over the sky, stirring up the saliva in my mouth, Uncle Wang is still unmoved, and directly vetoes it!

I had expected this to be the case, and I was not in a hurry; It's not that failure is success! Then I will work harder, so that failure can give birth to success as soon as possible!

Take out the secret weapon that has been prepared: "Two bottles of the best Moutai that I have treasured for three years." ”

Hehe, I don't believe I can't let you go!

I bragged and farted with Uncle Wang, and under my diligent toast again and again, a bottle of wine quickly bottomed out.

Of course, it was mainly the old guy who was drinking, and I didn't drink a few sips at all. The old guy finally snored and crawled under the table.

Finally got it, I inquired about Uncle Wang under the table again, and after making sure that he was okay, I started to act.

Uncle Wang's family has two treasures, the guide Ah Huang and a double-barreled shotgun, Ah Huang is a greedy dog, it shuttles through the Shennongjia forest area all year round. Every time I venture into the woods, I always have to trick them, and this time I can't help them!

I first took off Uncle Wang's short-barreled rifle hanging on the wall, rummaged through the cabinets and found five bullets, and then pried open the canned beef and bribed Uncle Wang's big yellow dog, and the dog didn't care about Uncle Wang on the ground, and shook his head and tail to act as a guide for me.

I checked the equipment in my backpack again, a high-powered telescope, and I used to engrave three words in it: "clairvoyance"!

There are a total of 10 crossbow arrows with a box of arrows filled with powerful anesthetic. A few disposable syringes, antivenom and several versions of the standing pill. A bundle of special wire ropes and a thin bundle of crossbow arrow ropes, a solar-powered mobile phone with GPS, yes, there is still a signal.

A set of climbing claws, a paratrooper knife commonly used outdoors, can be cut, sawed and pryed, a few spare lighters, five or six canned beef, a few bottles of water, juice and some other essential supplies for survival in the wild.

Everything is ready, I pack my bags and go deep into the old forest...

Just as I was leaving the hut and walking away, Uncle Wang, who was crooked under the table, suddenly opened his eyes, got up and poured a small sip of wine, touched the food residue at the corner of his mouth and muttered: "Stinky boy, it's too inauthentic, Ah Huang, who deceived Lao Tzu, didn't say anything, even the double-barreled shotgun was taken by the sheep." ”

After a while, he smiled and said, "Do you really think that you can fool your uncle with this little trick?" I want to fight back then, when Lao Tzu beat the Annan people on the front line of Laoshan, your kid was not born yet! ”

With that, he took out a delicate Battle Hero Medal from the bedside table, stared at it for a long time, and fell into deep thought......

Along the way, the big yellow dog barked happily in front, as if the female dog next door Huahua was waiting for him in front. I was tired and half dead in the back, the thatch of the old forest in the deep mountains grew faster than me, I picked up the mountain knife, threw off my arms to open the road and meet the water to build a bridge.

Suddenly, the big yellow dog in front of him stopped and barked.

There is a case! I took out the repeating crossbow in my left hand, grasped the mountain knife in my right hand, and carefully walked in the direction of the big yellow dog's barking.

Under the big tree not far ahead, leaning against the trunk of the tree, sat a strangely dressed person, this person was wrapped in a simple animal skin vest on his upper body, and a pair of animal skin culottes were wrapped underneath, just dressed as Sun Xingzhi!

When I looked closer, I was startled: the man had long hair and locks of hair, a shaggy beard that covered his lips and chin like straw, a pale face without a trace of blood, and a very simple longbow on his back.

Obviously, he's not making a movie, there's no crew, there's no camera...

Could it be a savage? I was a little inexplicably excited.

I tried my best to suppress my excitement, took out my phone and took pictures of him.

The snapping, snapping and snapping of the intense flash stimulated the "wild man" to subconsciously cover his eyes with his hands, and he was very weak!

I took a sip of water and stopped taking pictures, and walked over slowly to see if I could communicate with him. The "wild man" stared at me blankly, his chapped lips squirming slightly...

I hurriedly poured saliva on him, and the "wild man" immediately became more energetic, and anxiously repeated words that I did not understand.

It wasn't until he finally gestured and pointed deeper into the jungle that I finally figured out that he was asking me to help him inside. I was a little wary, but I was strong enough to fall and fight, so I carefully helped him to the depths of the jungle...
