"Hey," said the bearded man, glancing at him, "why do I look at this footprint so familiar?" As he spoke, he squatted down and compared with his hands, and suddenly "tsk", "This seems to have been left by the dark shadow we peeped at us the night before!" ”

"What?" Xiao Meng couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and couldn't help but cry out, "Or that thing?" Why are you so persistent? ”

Mu Feng smiled, "I think it probably has another purpose." ”

"Another purpose?" Xiao Meng's eyes widened and asked, "What purpose?" ”

Mu Feng looked at Xiao Meng and then at Chu Tianyi, "Have you ever heard of the legend of a man and a bear robbing people?" ”

"Man-bear?" Xiao Meng hesitated, as a native of the Northeast, he must have heard of the name Man Xiong, but he had never heard of the legend Mu Feng said, "Robbing people? What is the meaning? ”

Mu Feng deliberately lowered his voice and said, "This incident probably happened in the last years of the Qing Dynasty......

At that time, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty regarded Changbai Mountain as the birthplace of the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty, and this entire area was listed as a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to enter it without permission. However, at that time, the government of the late Qing Dynasty was incompetent, which made the people's livelihood miserable. As a result, villagers around Changbai Mountain are forced to make a living, and occasionally sneak up the mountain.

There is a man named Cheng San who lives at the foot of Changbai Mountain, although he relies on an inexhaustible mountain, but due to the ban of the Qing government, his life is miserable and he has no food. One winter, the family couldn't open the pot, and they cried when they saw their two children hungry. Cheng San gritted his teeth and decided to enter the mountain.

He took a trap and a short knife, took half a pot of soju, opened the door and walked towards the mountain. The area of Changbai Mountain is extremely vast, and it is impossible to completely block the road up the mountain, so Cheng San entered the old forest in the mountain without much effort.

It was too cold in the mountains in winter, and Cheng San drank wine while getting under the clamp. It was also God's favor, and it didn't take long to catch a pheasant.

"Now the whole family can have a full meal." Cheng San thought like this, he was very happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a few more sips.

Cheng San plans to catch another one, so that the food for the next two days will also be settled, after all, it is not easy to go into the mountain. So he put down a trap again, and then hid behind a bush, and drank while waiting. Maybe I drank a little too much alcohol and fell asleep unconsciously.

Halfway through his sleep in a daze, Cheng San suddenly felt something gasping beside him, after all, he grew up at the foot of the mountain, and he still had experience in the wild. Although he didn't open his eyes, he couldn't help but turn over in his heart, and said that this is an old forest, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to be here, even if there are patrolling officers and soldiers, it is impossible to squat here and pant and watch himself sleep.

In this way, Cheng San immediately thought that the guy squatting next to him was not a human being nine times out of ten, thinking of this, he woke up with the strength of the wine just now, but he still didn't dare to open his eyes.

He originally expected this thing to stay here for a while and leave when he saw that he didn't move, but he didn't expect that a long time had passed, or Cheng San himself felt that a long time had passed, and the thing squatting next to him had no intention of leaving.

So he couldn't hold it anymore and secretly opened one eye to look to the side. And he was so frightened that his heart almost stopped, and he saw a huge crouch with black hair in front of him, which was very similar in appearance to a bear, but the nose on his face was not so long, and at first glance it looked very similar to a human face.

Cheng San's mind instantly came up with two words - man bear! This monster in the old forest, which is said to be in people's legends, did not expect to meet himself today.

He kept one eye open, paying attention to the man-bear's movements. It's probably because the waiting time has been longer, and the man-bear is not so focused. From time to time, move your body and turn your head.

At this moment, the big bird flew down from the tree and landed on the ground not far away, and the man and bear were attracted by the big bird and turned his head to take a closer look.

Cheng San calculated that his opportunity was coming, he took a deep breath, jumped up from the ground suddenly, and ran away.

The human-bear monster behind him chased after him with a scream, even if Cheng San's speed was not slow, it was far from being able to catch up with the speed of the human-bear. He didn't run far before Cheng San felt something slap heavily on his back, and the force was similar to the feeling of a horse hitting him. Cheng San said "oops", flew forward, and when he landed, his head hit the trunk of the tree, and he immediately fainted.

When he woke up, Cheng San found that he was being carried by this man-bear, and when he looked around, he found that he didn't know this forest at all, and he thought in his heart that it was very likely that he had reached the depths of the mountain.

Cheng San tried hard to break free, but this man and bear had a lot of strength. In desperation, he touched the short knife hidden at his waist, but fortunately the beast was not intelligent enough to search his body. He didn't hesitate to draw the short knife, and he didn't care where to look, so he stabbed the man and bear in the back with all his strength.

Unexpectedly, this thing has rough skin and thick flesh, and if the tip of the knife pierces an inch, it will never move again. Despite this, the man-bear let go with a loud cry. Cheng San took this opportunity to get out quickly and ran towards the densely wooded place in the forest.

Running all the way, Cheng San didn't dare to look back at all, but he could also hear that the man and bear were following closely behind him. Listening to the heavy wheezing sound behind him, his scalp was wooden.

I hadn't run far before a steep slope appeared ahead. Cheng San gritted his teeth and jumped off without much hesitation. Due to the steep slope, he fell to the ground as soon as he landed, and the whole person rolled down the steep slope.

Along the way, Cheng San was thrown into seven meat and eight vegetarians, and several big cuts were made on the exposed places on his body. He had hit the trunk of a tree many times, and he knew that he must have broken bones in some places, but he didn't care, as long as he could escape from the man-bear.

Below the steep slope was a river, and Cheng San threw himself into the river with a plop.

When he woke up again, he had been rescued by an old man in a village downstream from the river.

The old man asked about his experience, Cheng San didn't hide it, and told everything about 1510. The old man praised him for his great life, and it was said that the local bears had not caught people once or twice, and no one had ever escaped alive. And most of the men who were caught were strong adult men. This man-bear has a characteristic of catching people, it will not bite people to death on the spot, but carry them back to the hole on their shoulders.

At that time, there was a saying that after a man-bear brought a person back to the cave, it would bite off two of the person's legs, so that the person could not escape. The bears will keep the people they catch, and when they can't find anything to eat, they will eat the people they are raising.

Of course, there is also a more bullshitty theory, some people speculate that it was the female bear who captured the person, and the adult man was caught back in order to get married.

After Mu Feng finished telling the legend of the human bear, he looked at Xiao Meng and Chu Tianyi with a smile, "I estimate that the one who peeped at us may also be a female bear, but do you guess it plans to snatch it back to become a relative?" Without waiting for the others to speak, he continued, "The bearded man must be no play, and with the hair on his face, the man-bear may have taken him for a monkey." As for me, although I am handsome, but my body is not good, it is said that this man and bear only pick the strong. So," Mu Feng smiled, "it's just the two of you." The reason why the human bear hasn't started yet is that he hasn't figured out who to choose. For everyone's safety, which of you two sacrifices, take the initiative yourself, and sacrifice the hue to attract people and bears. ”

After listening to Mu Feng's words, Chu Tianyi's chest was stuffy, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, "Brother Feng, let's stop making trouble, you really think that guy is here to get a target!" Do you want to think about what we should do now? ”

Although he didn't know whether the legend Mu Feng just told had credibility or not, the statement that people were raised as food still made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart. But he thought about it, haven't humans been doing such things all along? It's just that the legend has swapped the identities of the two.

"This incident also reminded us," Mu Feng put away the expression of his hippie smile, "Since entering the depths of this canyon, whether it is calm or not, we have never been truly safe." Therefore, the road behind can only be doubly careful. As for now," Mu Feng pointed to the outside of the cave, "let's get out of here first." ”
