After a short rest, Tang Yao returned to normal before setting off into the mountain with everyone, and Sister Wu did not accompany him, but Captain Wu Yu took a few villagers who were good at walking in the mountains and forests to guide Tang Yao and them.

"Your sneakers are too good, but they are not suitable for walking in the mountains, and the green army shoes I used to wear when I was a soldier are more convenient than you." Captain Wu Yu has also changed a lot after seeing Tang Yao's skills, and along the way, he told Tang Yao a lot of legends and interesting stories about the mountain, and it seems that he is not too worried about the two giant demons he is about to meet.

Tang Yao was walking behind, although he was wearing old shoes that had been several years, but now they were covered with mud, he still looked a little distressed, and after hearing what Captain Wu Yu said in front, he asked strangely: "Captain Wu, why do you feel that you don't seem to be so afraid of those two giant demons, haven't these two giant demons heard that they are very terrifying?" ”

At this time, everyone was tired, Captain Wu Yu motioned for everyone to stop and rest, he and a few villagers looked at each other a few times and smiled and said, "Actually, I don't feel that serious. ”

"Oh? What does that mean? Fang Chao on the side asked strangely.

Captain Wu Yu lit a cigarette and said: "Those two giant demons are quite strange, very tall and strong, at first our villagers were startled when they saw them, I and a few friends in the village went into the mountains to check and found some wild boars and wild roe deer corpses, they were frightened, I felt that they must be particularly vicious monsters, and then they came to our village to make trouble, and overturned the altar and offering table for ancestors, at that time the villagers in our village were afraid and angry, But after observing these two big monsters for a while, we found that these two big monsters are actually not so scary, and from the initial discovery of these two big monsters to the present, these two monsters have not hurt anyone, and when they meet our hunters or our villagers, they immediately flee, as if they are afraid of us. ”

"Oh? In other words, these two trolls didn't actually commit too serious crimes, did they? Tang Yao asked.

Captain Wu Yu scratched his head and said: "You can also say that, I told the witch about this, I think that otherwise I should provide them with some food, and then live in peace, just like having two pets at home, and then publicize it outside, maybe it can also attract outsiders to travel to our village, and it will be good for our village, but the witch disagreed, saying that these two animals overturned the ancestors' offering table, which is something that offends the ancestors, and it must not be easily bypassed, so I have been looking for an opportunity to slaughter these two animals, First we invited the hunters, and then we invited a lot of people from outside to catch these two animals, but they were unsuccessful, and these two animals hid in the forbidden land and did not come out, and a few times we tried to hurt them, and they would yell at us, and after a few days they promised to sneak into the village to make trouble. ”

"Troublemaking, what kind of troublemaker?" Tang Yao asked.

"At first, these two animals came to the village to find food, but after being injured by our villagers or hunters, they deliberately came to the village to destroy after a few days of healing, but they either hurt people, or smashed things or bit the animals to death without eating or taking them away, and deliberately left them at the door of the villagers' homes, isn't this a troublemaker?" Although Captain Wu Yu said this, although he looked like he was gritting his teeth, but then he laughed again, Tang Yao looked at the other villagers with a puzzled look on his face, and they all laughed helplessly when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at?" Tang Yao asked.

"Although these two animals are hateful, but they feel like a child, in fact, they are not all bad things, once a few wild boars entered the village to arch food, a few villagers in the village were angry but chased the wild boars into the mountain, I didn't expect that day there was a heavy rain landslide, several villagers were buried under the mud, if it took a long time, I am afraid it will be fatal, I didn't expect that time it was these two animals to help, and the villagers were dug out, which is also a good thing." Captain Wu Yu said, Tang Yao looked at the other villagers around him, and they also nodded, not looking like they were bragging.

Tang Yao felt more and more strange when he heard this, although the appearance of two monsters in the village who were messing with and destroying and had hideous faces was indeed very worried, but the villagers and these two giant demons had been in contact for a while, and it seemed that they could find a way to seek common ground while reserving differences and coexist peacefully, even Captain Wu Yu and other villagers seemed to be able to accept the model of peaceful coexistence with these two giant demons, the mountains are vast and sparsely populated, the vegetation is dense, and there are many wild animals, and in recent years, it seems that they have the intention of being listed as a protected area, At that time, it is not impossible to let these two giant demons live in the mountains, as if the whole village is the one who wants the lives of these two giant demons.

"Let's get almost rested, let's continue on our way, and after another hour of walking, we will reach the slope outside the forbidden land, from where we can see the entire scenery of the forbidden land." Captain Wu Yu said, beckoning everyone to continue on their way.

After walking for nearly an hour, the weather seemed to be starting to become gloomy, Tang Yao looked up at the sky and said, "Is it going to rain?" Why does it still rain in winter? ”

Captain Wu Yu smiled and said, "This is the weather here, stop for a while next time, okay, let's get there." ”

Captain Wu Yu stopped while speaking, and then several other villagers around him walked to a few nearby trees as if they were doing something to prepare, Tang Yao stepped forward, and sure enough, he saw that this place was a protruding hillside, looking down from the hillside, not far away was a large area of relatively flat open space, and in this open space actually stood a lot of hand-excavated soil bags, these soil bags were also inserted with stone tablets, and the entire open space was actually full of graves.

"This is the burial place of the ancestors of our Wushan Wu clan, our village was not allowed to be cremated before, and then the state sent people to persuade a few witches, and other villages began to accept cremation one after another, and our village also accepted it, so the people who died in the last twenty years were offered to the underworld garden in the town outside the mountain, and the graves buried here were at least twenty years old." Captain Wu Yu walked over and said.

Tang Yao nodded and looked carefully, indeed some stone tablets looked relatively new, and many stone tablets looked very old, Captain Wu Yu pointed to the farthest but largest tombs in the distance and said: "Those tombs are the tombs of our witches in the mountains, we are far away now, so they look small, but in fact they are big." ”

"I don't think these graves and the entire cemetery are messy, they seem to be cleaned often, don't you can't enter the forbidden land, so who will clean them?" Tang Yao asked.

Captain Wu Yu smiled and said: "We can't go in, this is the rule left by the ancestors, but outsiders can go in, so every year our village spends money to invite people from outside to go in to remove grass and paint the stone monument, it costs a lot of money, and people are not easy to find, ordinary people who dare to do this kind of work, and it is not a day or two to finish, it takes at least half a month to clean once, and not everyone can go in, like the hunter we invited before went in and couldn't get out, and was scared half dead inside, However, there is a group of people who will be able to get out safely if they go in and have nothing to do. ”

"Oh? Who? Fang Chao on the side asked curiously.

"Women, and it's best to be a girl who hasn't been married or in love, so every year we go to the nearby town to spend a lot of money to invite this type of girl to clean, where is the delicate little girl willing to do this kind of work, so every year this file is very troublesome, this year's cleaning time the village made up 50,000 yuan to invite five girls to clean, do you say it's too bad to spend money?" Captain Wu Yu said.

Tang Yao nodded and said, "It does cost a lot of money, but why can only this kind of girl go in and ensure that she comes out safely, is there any explanation in this?" ”

Captain Wu Yu leaned over at this time and whispered: "I heard that in fact, it is necessary to find a virgin girl to go in, I heard that our witches in Yushan are clean all their lives, and they can't get married and can't have men, so this kind of girl will be fine when they enter the cemetery, it seems that it is because the souls of the old witches buried in the cemetery are willing to let them go." ”
