Chapter 5: The Legend of the Savages

After getting off the plane, I took a car all the way, gradually from the smooth road to the winding mountain road, and finally to the occasional dusty gravel yellow mud road.

Yang Que got out of the car and stretched, feeling like he was back in the world.

He embarks on a path to find the second beast.

It's just that the teacher didn't go very well, and the "seniority" of the car he sat in just now is estimated to be older than Yang Que's age, and the frequency of shaking can catch up with the tractor. The smell of salted fish in the carriage is a brand that the wild mountain wind cannot blow.

The winding mountain road coupled with the confident and elegant driving posture of the old driver caused a half-grown teenager in the car to vomit from head to tail, explaining the origin of the salted fish smell in the car.

However, a few uncles and aunts are obviously locals, accustomed to sitting in cars, talking and laughing, and as stable as Mount Tai.

After getting out of the car, Yang Que took out the mountain and sea atlas and looked at it, the map showed that he was still outside the red circle, this place called Lixi Township, not a foothold.

It's just that at this point, there will be no serious roads in the future, basically all mountain roads, and Yang Que needs to ask the locals.

Yang Que found a "small supermarket" near the station, which may still be the only one, and after buying a little snack, he talked with the boss.

After chatting for a few minutes, the boss glanced at the red circle of the map on Yang Que's Atlas of Mountains and Seas, suppressed his curiosity about this "new mobile phone", and turned to look at Yang Que and asked, "Young man, haven't you watched that show?" ”

"What show?" Yang Que shook his head and asked.

"Haven't you seen it?" The boss rubbed his hands, took another sip of water from the teacup next to him, and opened the conversation.

It turns out that about a year ago, the legend of the wild man was spread in this place, and many people said that they had seen it. It's a small place, rather isolated, and the legends of the savages are intensifying.

From the story of parents scaring their children to the parents themselves, they feel a little scared.

Fortunately, such a key point, a program team stood up, and after in-depth investigation, they produced an excellent, suspenseful, and fascinating program.

According to the usual practice, at the end of the program, the program team also gave an answer: The so-called wild people are just the product of false rumors formed by the locals after they misread it. After the analysis and investigation of experts, it is believed that the most likely wild man is a wild boar, and there is a small probability that he saw other people going up the mountain.

This is a typical remote mountainous area, with backward economic conditions, and many people go up to the mountains to cut firewood.

It is also reasonable to be tired and mistake others as savages.

Since it is said on TV, the people of Hongo will believe it.

But there are still many outsiders who say: You are starting to fool people again, I don't believe it!

Many lovers of mystery events have come to explore the real truth, and for a time it also boosted the economy of the township. Of course, this craze came and went quickly, and soon Lixi Township returned to calm.

"So, the so-called wild man is a wild boar?" Yang Que said with interest.

The boss smiled slightly, took a sip of tea: "Probably." Yu Wang's chat was greatly satisfied.

Then, after a pause, he reminded, "Young man, I think you better go back early." Wild boars are nothing to look at, and they are dangerous. ”

"It's dangerous to encounter wild boars." Yang Que nodded superficially.

He had heard the saying that adult wild boars were more ferocious than tigers.

What is covered in mud, all kinds of non-breaking defenses plus rampage, and the blood thickness attack is still high.

"Not really. And to be honest, in this deep mountain and old forest, one of them can't get out if they're not careful, and there are no people. I'll tell you......" The boss seemed to be about to say something, but the proprietress who had been watching TV next to her suddenly coughed hard.

The boss was stunned for a moment, glanced back, and then pointed to his leg: "I broke my leg when I went up the mountain." ”

"Really?" Yang Que replied noncommittally.

What was this boss going to say, but why was he stopped by the boss's wife?

"Let's go back early, there's only one bus left." The boss reminded that it was actually less than two o'clock in the afternoon, but the bus interval was very long, and there were only three buses a day.

There will be no inns and other places in such a small village, and if you don't go back at night, you won't even have a place to stay.

Yang Que was about to say something, when he was riding in the car together just now, and the young man who vomited and his legs were weak floated over: "Boss, come to a bottle of water." ”

The boss asked, "Do you want ice?" ”

The boy shook his head, took the mineral water, took two steps outside, and began to rinse his mouth continuously.

When he was done, he took out the money from his pocket and put a photo on the glass counter and asked, "Boss, have you seen her?" ”

The boss glanced at the photo while collecting the money, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know, I basically guard this store every day, and I haven't seen many outsiders." ”

"Haven't you really seen it?" The boy further asked, "Didn't even the search and rescue team be dispatched at that time, and you didn't know anything about it?" ”

"Search and rescue team?" Yang Que next to him interjected, "What's the matter?" ”

The boy didn't speak.

The boss sighed: "I wanted to say it just now, but it's just a 'family ugly', and it's not easy to publicize." Forget it, after that show aired, didn't many people come here to find some wild people? Later, a group of young people went up the mountain, something happened, one died, and one disappeared. ”

"This girl is the one who is missing. There was a lot of commotion, and all search and rescue teams came, and they searched for a long time but didn't find anyone. ”

"Who are you, young man?"

The boss's last words were to ask the teenager.

"My sister." The boy immediately asked, "Have you never seen her since?" ”

"What did you say, if you see me and don't call the police?" The boss couldn't help but laugh, and then he persuaded, "You don't want to go up the mountain alone, do you?" It's really dangerous, don't go. ”

The boy just shook his head, put away the photo, tightened his backpack and walked out.

The boss shook his head.

But the proprietress kicked the boss: "Don't go to the township cadres to stop him, let him go up the mountain to find death, it's really an accident and it's ugly." ”

"Actually, it's so easy to have an accident, it was an accident last time." The boss said, "Besides, how can you stop and detain people?" ”

"You don't care how you stop it, if you go and say it, it's not our business." The proprietress said, "It's enough for us little people to do this, why don't you go quickly?" ”

"Got it, got it." The boss came out from behind the counter, paused next to Yang Que at the door and said, "Young man, you won't be looking for some savages, right?" That's all fake, just wild boars, and it's unlucky to meet wild boars. ”

"You're right." Yang Que smiled and said, "I'll leave later." ”

Seeing that someone listened to the persuasion, the boss left satisfied, wanting to be the good villager, not realizing that another person who listened to the persuasion, "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and going to the tiger mountains".

Coming to a no-man's corner, Yang Que took out the motorcycle and sat on it, determined the direction, and went straight to the red circle in a roundabout way.

A few hours later, Yang Que looked at the building not far in front of him: "There is actually a village here?" ”

He searched everywhere, and when he saw the road, he drove up, narrowing the area little by little, and then found that there was a small village in the deep mountains and old forests that were inaccessible.

It was already late in the evening, and the sky was getting dark, and you could see cooking smoke rising from the houses in the village.

It's obviously dinner time.

"It just so happens that I'm hungry too." After thinking about it, Yang Que got out of the car, collected the car, and entered the mountain and sea cave.

After about ten minutes, Yang Que asked while roasting meat: "Dog, I think there is something wrong with this mountain and sea illustrated book." ”

The whistling dog lay on the side, holding down the luck that was attracted by the smell of meat and was about to move: "What's the problem?" ”

"It's too big a lock-in." Yang Que said, "The circle is shrinking little by little, and it is very troublesome to find." Is this really a treasure, it doesn't feel powerful enough. ”

"That's good." "You only have one now, and it's just me and this little thing, what do you want?" ”

Yang Que said: "I just hope it can be precise. ”

"Then find more strange beasts, and the more accurate you will be." Howling Dog said.

Ten minutes later, after filling his stomach, Yang Que left under the reluctance of luck.

As soon as I came out, I saw the sound of a motor on the only road not far away, and a motorcycle approached.

Before entering the Shanhai Cave Heaven, Yang Que naturally chose a good location to ensure that he would not be seen.

After taking a look, Yang Que found that the person in the back seat of the motorcycle was the official teenager who came to look for his sister.

And the one who drove the car, who looked to be between thirty and forty, was barely middle-aged judging by his slightly thinning hair.

The motorcycle stopped at a distance of about ten meters from the village, and the man and the boy with slightly thinning hair in front got out of the car and said: "This is the last village, I'll take you around and ask, work in the village at night, and send you home early tomorrow morning, is there a problem?" ”

Obviously, this is the township staff, commonly known as the "township cadres", and the boss's ventilation report has achieved a certain effect.

The boy lowered his head slightly and shook his head: "No." ”

"Then let's go, and you won't talk nonsense later. This village is too remote and more xenophobic, let me know? Zhao Ming, a township cadre, said.

The young Wang Chong nodded, as a prospective college student who had just graduated, he ran alone to find his missing sister with a youthful enthusiasm and impulse.

It's a pity that the feat was not lifted, first by the mountain road, the bus, and the old driver teamed up to make his legs float, and then he was blocked, and he was completely unable to resist, so he could only obey the arrangement.

was "beaten" by an adult in society, and now he is in a state of "I'm a waste, I don't know anything", Wang Chong can't be impulsive.

"Let's go, then." Zhao Ming saw that Wang Chong had agreed to come down, and led him towards the small village, which was basically a little better than being isolated from the world.
