When Shi Shi was sharpening his bow and arrows in the morning, he was called away by his father and asked him to go to the ancestral hall in the village to participate in the sacrifice.

Shi was delighted, only adult men in the village could participate in the sacrifice, Xiao Mang and Ergou had already participated, and they had been laughing at their yellow hair that had not faded clean, this time it was their turn, Shi Shi's pale and cold face was rarely more smiling, and he walked behind his father and his chest unconsciously stiffened a little.

The ancestral hall of Wowolf Pass is in the middle of the village, with a stone house on a circular stone platform with a thatched roof, and a small wooden house next to it is the village chief's house.

Speaking of which, today is not the day to worship ancestors in the village, and something must happen when the villagers are summoned to worship.

Stone and his father walked into the ancestral hall, everyone gathered around to talk about something, this group of hunters in the mountains are five big and three thick, the voice is huge, it is really noisy to gather together, Shi wants to go in to see what is going on, how can he be thin and small, he really can't squeeze in, but he suddenly found that Xiao Mang is also inside.

The stone shouted, and Xiao Mang turned around a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

Stone: "Why can't I come, what's wrong?"

Xiao Mang squeezed out, his mood was lost, and his face was gloomy: "You don't know the stone, Ergou and his father went up the mountain to let the beast bite him."

Shi was shocked, he really hadn't seen Ergou for a while, and the last time he went to his house, his mother said that the patriarch asked him to go down to get animal skins for food.

Stone asked, "When?" The second dog and his father are old hunters, how can they let the beasts bite! ”

Xiao Mang's face became even more ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Stone, since you are here, I can also tell you, a while ago Ergou just entered the ancestral hall, his father told the village chief to lead him up the mountain to practice his hands, but he didn't expect to come back for a few days." The village chief wondered if something could happen, and asked my father to take me and a few people to look for it, but I didn't expect to go far into the mountain and saw Ergou's father dead, there was no good place on his body, and the blood was hula, if he didn't see his father's brand, he wouldn't recognize it at all, and Ergou was gone, and he didn't come back for so long, and it was estimated that he was more than lucky. ”

The stone was stunned and speechless, the stone grew thin since he was a child, thin and weak, all kinds of training were unqualified, and finally everyone was outside to draw a bow and shoot arrows, he read a book with the village chief in the house, and others laughed at him "Stone eggs, stone eggs, an arrow shoots two and a half feet," only Xiao Mang and Ergou play with him, especially Ergouzi, when others bully Shishi, he always stands up to block the front, Ergouzi often says to Shizi that his biggest dream is to go to the temple outside the mountain to be a divine servant, holding that kind of spear, riding a big tall horse, Majestic-looking.

A few servants came to the village, left a few broken books, and took away all the animal skins and a pile of bacon in the village. Those books and stones have been read in the village chief's house, and the stones feel that Ergou can't be divine servants, those divine servants are all shrewd people, and Ergou is a simple person, and he will stand in the way in case of trouble, and those divine servants will definitely not do this, they will only do this for God, and how can God need them to stand in the way?

Xiao Mang said: "Stone! Although the second dog is gone, we have fished out the biting brute! This beast is terrifying, and it's inside! ”

Stone came back to his senses and wanted to say something, but then the village chief walked in.

The village chief is a little different from the ordinary village name of Wo Wolf Pass, not a sturdy man, but a dry old man, dressed in brown linen clothes, holding a jet-black iron crutch, with wrinkles on his face, but a pair of eyes are bright, he is such an old man, who used to be the best hunter in Wo Wolf Pass.

The village chief knocked on the ground with an iron crutch, "Knock! The noisy crowd instantly quieted down, the crowd got out of the way, the village chief walked in, nodded slightly after seeing the stone, the stone also saw the things in the middle of the crowd, the mountain god statue enshrined in the ancestral hall was covered by a large piece of red cloth at the foot of the foot, leaking out half a dark yellow tail, the tail hair was half long, it looked like a fox tail, but it was thicker than the mouth of the bowl.

The sacrifice began, everyone scattered in all directions, sat on the ground, the bonfire in front of the statue of the mountain god, and the lost spirit passed away.

The fire was shining, and the original stone blue statue was black and shiny in the firelight, as if it was cast in iron, and his arms were half stretched forward and his palms were arched, half squatting on the platform, if it were not for the human face and tail, it was really no different from a monkey. Even the tribute table was full of wild fruits and bananas.

Orion does not sacrifice ancestors, does not sacrifice the dead, but only the mountain gods. Hunting in the mountains is a reward for the mountain gods, and sacrifices are indispensable.

"Bless us with a full load, bless us from encountering demons, not being fascinated by the forest, not encountering evil spirits..."

Stone sat in it with his eyes closed and prayed, his thoughts were chaotic, he thought that he had gone with Ergou Xiaomang to steal the bacon of the stonemason's house and was caught, and was punished by the village chief for standing for two days, and the three of them ran out to break the door of the stonemason's house with a stone, and then only the second dog was beaten by his father's skin and flesh, no matter how he beat it, he only said that he did it; thought of the three of them fighting with Lin Mu, and being beaten and rolled all over the ground, just because Lin Mu laughed at himself that he was so thin that he couldn't even lift his night pot; Thinking of chasing Lao Li and laughing at Lao Li's dirty clothes, he walked dirty and fell into the mud, and he didn't have his mother-in-law to wash it, and he was passed under the crotch by Lao Li with an arrow...; Thinking of the two dogs being bitten by wild beasts in the mountains, struggling, bleeding...

There was a muffled grunt... The stone suddenly came to his senses! Open your eyes and gasp for air, grunting... Another sound, as if swallowing a large mouthful of water, sounded in the body, and it was like the heart was contracting and opening violently, instantly pushing a large amount of blood to gush out.

The stone felt dull in his chest, his eyes ached, and every time the sound in his body sounded, it got worse, gurgling... The frequency is getting faster and faster, the stone face is painful, I want to raise my hand but I find that my body can't move, my throat seems to be mushy, and I squint left and right in the haze, Xiao Mang... Daddy was still praying, and the stone hung his head.

"Mountain God, I will give you the evil beast and give us strength!" The village chief lifted the red cloth!

"Whew! What is this! His grandmother's is scarier than a big worm! ”

I saw that the beast's body was long and narrow, and its body length was more than one and a half feet! Red eyes and long ears, fangs interlaced, four-legged like a wolf, dark yellow throughout. There are more than a dozen knife cuts caused by the siege on the body, and the tail is like a fox's tail, but in the case of a fox, the tail is slightly shorter.

Orion Dabin: "Look, you still don't believe it, this animal is more dexterous than a monkey when it lives!" It will take a dozen dogs to catch it! ”

Lao Li: "This beast has caused disaster to the two dogs?" Eat it to avenge the two dogs! Let's get a taste of what it tastes like! ”

"Lao Li, what are you talking about! Do you dare to eat it for the mountain god? ”

Lao Li: "What mountains are not mountain gods!" My old Li has been walking around the mountains for decades, just with this bow in my hand! Who of you has seen the mountain god appear! What a big snake blocking the water, they all lied to children! ”

"Lao Li! What do you say! If you don't respect the mountain gods, you won't die! Can you eat this thing? Don't be afraid of poison to kill you! If you're short of meat to eat, you'll go to my house and get two! ”

"My old Li is crazy hungry! Go to your house and get meat! I don't want to stew this game out of anger, and it can be regarded as revenge for the two dogs! You don't call me when you go up to the mountains to find someone! I hate my old Li's legs and feet! ”

"Hey! After all, Lao Li is a person who has hunted big insects, and he can understand it if he is bold and temperamental, but he can't be disrespectful to the mountain god. ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!! The village chief picked up his cane, and his face was a little angry: "Everyone, are you talking nonsense?" Little Lizi, I saw the big snake blocking the water with my own eyes when I was a child, and if you dare to be disrespectful, roll me down the mountain! ”

Lao Li, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth just now, wilted down in an instant, and took out a root that I don't know where to get the dry smoke there.

"Lao Li! Extinguish your smoking thing!! ”

...

The audience was silent, no one was uncomfortable talking anymore, but the daring hunters of Wo Wolf Pass were a little in awe of this little old man.

The village chief said slowly: "The two dogs are gone, everyone is very uncomfortable, we haven't had this incident for more than 20 years, let's go up the mountain to hunt and follow the ancestral teachings, we will not be injured by evil beasts, the two dogs father and son are honest people, they will definitely not violate the ancestral teachings, and this thing is not like ordinary beasts."

"This is probably a fox king," Lin Mu said.

"This is a fox, I've never seen a fox like this in my whole life."

"I said it was something that ran out of the old woods."

Xiao Mang said: "This thing is more flexible than a monkey, and it can also run on trees, this is definitely not a fox."

Lin Mu: "But the Fox King might."

"Lin Mu, don't talk nonsense, how can there be any fox king."

"That's it!" The village chief said, "What Lin Mu said makes sense, more than half of the beast is the king, and more than four is the demon." Whether it is a fox or a wolf, it is only half a zhang long, this beast is at least one and a half zhang, if it is really the king of beasts, we will be in trouble with the wolf. ”

"Whew! Is there really a Beastmaster? I just heard that this is really a beastmaster! "The ancestral hall became noisy again.

Village Chief: "Don't panic, everyone, this beast may just be a strange beast that escaped from the mountains, but everyone should also be prepared to prevent the beast from going to the village to retaliate."

"We, the hunters, are still afraid of the revenge of the prey? You don't have to go up to the mountains to hunt. ”

"That's right! Delivered to the door of the house, whether he is a king or not, come to one of my Mao and wear one! ”

"That's right, isn't it just a big fox, it's scary, and our Orion isn't scared!"

"It's not a fox, it's a rabbit." A voice different from these gruff voices came.

Everyone turned their heads to see that the stone was sitting on the plate, and they also looked at everyone with a serious face.

... There was a moment of silence

Comedy!

"Hahahaha! Rabbit!! ”

Lin Mu: "Haha! You haven't been up the mountain, you can't tell what a rabbit looks like! ”

"Hahaha! Such a big rabbit! It's not just four bodies, it's a demon! Ha ha! ”

Father Shi walked over and whispered: "What are you talking about, I saw you sleeping here just now, and now you are still here to embarrass me!"

Shi still looked serious: "Really Dad, this is a rabbit."

Hahaha!

Quiet! The bones of the two dogs are not cold, you will forget to be afraid! Is this where you should laugh? Get me down the hill and laugh! Stone, this kid is much smarter than you, he won't say this for no reason, stone, why is this a rabbit? The village chief's words were still very majestic, and the audience fell silent again.

"Village chief, this is a rabbit I saw, but it looks a little strange."

Xiao Mang: "If you look closely, this is a bit like a skinned rabbit."

Village Chief: "Hey! That's it. Everyone will go home and get something to send to the second dog! Damang, you two are close to each other, pay more attention, don't let her do stupid things. ”。

The atmosphere became dreary.

At this time, the stone's eyes were fixed on the statue of the mountain god, which looked like a monkey cast in iron, and the face of a person who could not see crying and laughing. In the afterglow, a rabbit is lying at the feet of the mountain god.
