Chapter 459: Mallet Bird

Most of the sticksticks come from the primeval forests of Northeast China, feed on ginseng seeds, whenever the sticksticks (ginseng) seeds are red, they call each other "Brother Wanggang, Ligu", people call them sticksticks. It is a guide who picks ginseng, and there is no such bird where there is ginseng.

There is a ballad among the mountain holders: If you want to dig ginseng treasures, you have to find a mallet bird!

There is also a legend about this mallet, the legend is that a long time ago, there was a Manchu young man named Wang Gang, he and his fiancΓ©e Ligu found a big stick mallet with eight leaves on the cliff, and picked the mallet seeds every year to plant mallets for the villagers. No matter how poor they are, they are reluctant to dig up that big mallet.

This matter reached the greedy and lustful old man Ezhen. He set up a poisonous plan, saying that it was a tribute to the royal family, and forced Wang Gang to dig up a big stick.

In the old imperial era, officials crushed people to death, let alone pay tribute to the royal family? But the big stick and mallet that the villagers relied on for their livelihood could never be dug up. Wang Gang said goodbye to Ligu, threw off the dog's legs sent by Ezhen to follow him in the mountain, climbed the cliff, picked the mallet seeds and planted them on the mountain, dug a garden and took them down the mountain.

Ezhen led people to shoot Wang Gang to death with arrows, and on the one hand, he sent people to Beijing to pay tribute with the mallets dug by Wang Gang, and on the other hand, he led people to rob Ligu.

Ligu knew that she would not be able to escape this catastrophe, so she climbed on the fence and shouted, "Brother Wang Gang!" I jumped off. Suddenly, a red light rose under the sting, and two beautiful birds flew out of the red light one after the other, the first one flew and called "Brother Wang Gang", and the one behind called "Ligu", and flew to the place where Wang Gang planted the mallet before.

Besides, the old man Ezhen, because it was not the real old ginseng who paid tribute, was convicted of bullying the king, and he was beheaded all over the house.

Since then, whenever the mallet seeds are red, the beautiful birds will fly in, calling each other "Brother Wang Gang, Ligu", with a pointed beak, picking up the red mallet seeds and planting them on the mountain.

The villagers all said that they were changed by Wang Gang and Ligu, and with them, the mallets on the mountain would never be dug up. Because they specialize in breeding mallets, and there are often mallets where they are called, they are called mallet birds.

Seeing the mallet bird is definitely a good sign, and it means that there is ginseng in this dry rice bowl, which makes everyone's faces look excited, and Cao Wuwu even screamed and ran down from the slope beam.

"Goya be careful." Cao Ho saw his son run down the dry rice bowl and immediately chased after it, the dry rice bowl is the forbidden land of Changbai Mountain, a place of nine deaths and one life, how can he rest assured that his son will go down alone.

"Let's go." Sun Xiang waved his hand and followed, everyone chased after him, he came to dry the rice bowl to find thousand-year-old ginseng, and now that he has a clue, of course he can't let it go.

As soon as I ran down, I was immediately covered by a layer of mist, and the wind around me blew strangely, and it was like a tornado around me, and the fog swirled around, and I suddenly found that I had lost my sense of direction, and I couldn't see the mallet bird at all.

Not only me, but everyone present was the same, Cao Wuwu's face was panicked: "What about the mallet bird." ”

"Or a mallet? This is a dry rice bowl, if you come down so recklessly, it is likely that Madashan will come. Cao Ho said Cao Wuwu angrily, then looked at Sun Xiang and said, "Uncle Sun, what should I do now." ”

"There are four dry rice basins in Changbai Mountain, and this time I brought you here, it is the largest and most mysterious of them, and I have only been here once in ten years." Sun Xiang did not answer directly, but looked at the dense fog around him with a look of memory in his eyes.

"Grandpa, you've been in here, and you've walked out of it." Cao Wuwu exclaimed, the dry rice bowl is a forbidden place, and in the eyes of the mountain man, it is even more Jedi, and there is no life when he walks in, because he will lose his way if he enters, and there are too many fierce beasts and strange things inside.

The other mountain releasers also looked at Sun Xiang with shocked and reverent looks, and Sun Xiang's status in the hearts of these people has been further improved.

Cao Wu immediately asked, "Uncle Sun, you have gone out from here, it seems that you can also take us out safely this time." ”

Looking at the people around him nodding, Sun Xiang sighed, and then said, "Do you know how I got to Liuxiu Village?" ”

Everyone here is surnamed Cao, only the old boss is surnamed Sun, I have long known that this Sun Xiang is likely to be an outsider, and now it sounds like a guess, but I am also very curious, this Sun Xiang does not seem to be upside down, how did he stay in Liuxiu Village.

"I remember that in the past ten years, I am not a leader, just a side stick, and the" stepping on the mountains and forests "in the red hammer city, that time there was a strong fog, and I also ran into a bear blind, and I ran away into this dry rice bowl in a panic, that time it was also eleven people, and in the end I was the only one who walked out, but I didn't even have a little impression of how to get out."

"Stepping on the mountains and forests, is it the god man who released the mountain in Changbai Mountain ten years ago? It is said that the team he led returned with a full load every time, and he never opened his eyes," Cao Ho's face was full of longing and admiration.

"It was a pity that the mountain forest mysteriously disappeared ten years ago, but I didn't expect it to stay in the dry rice basin and end the legend of the mountain god." Cao Wu sighed, compared to the legend of stepping on the mountains and forests, he sighed the most should be Sun Xiang Although he walked out of the dry rice basin, he didn't know how to get out, so to speak, this time into the dry rice basin, it was still a mortal ending.

Cao Ho also knew in his heart, but Cao Hoe was wiser than Cao Wu, he knew that he couldn't say anything discouraged in this situation, otherwise it would only make the situation worse and worse, he immediately said loudly: "Uncle Sun, stepping on the mountain forest is a mountain god, you used to be a side stick in his team, no wonder you are so powerful." ”

Sun Xiang also knew that Cao Ho was cheering up everyone, and immediately said: "Don't worry, everyone, although I don't remember the specific situation, if I go to the place I walked back then, I can take everyone out along the previous road." ”

Sun Xiang's words made the people present regain some confidence, the mallet bird is gone, can only continue to move forward, this is just the outermost small basin of the dry rice basin, but it has already made people lose the direction, there is a thick fog around and do not dare to disperse walking, Sun Xiang carefully observed the surrounding trees, and finally determined the direction with the density of the growth of branches, made a mark with the red cloth strip he carried, and then walked forward with the person.

"Listen, what is the sound?"

As soon as I walked up the slope from the small basin, I heard a rustling sound behind me, like something walking rapidly in the grass, and the direction was towards us.

"Oh no, we're surrounded." I immediately exclaimed.

Chapter 460

My words made everyone nervous, this dry rice bowl is a Jedi, legend has it that no one can get out, those documentaries on TV are not real dry rice basins at all, but similar terrain, and no one dares to enter the real dry rice basin.

In the dense grass, the black back was exposed, and it stopped five or six meters away, and the black and bright color stood out in the white fog.

"It's a wild boar."

Cao Wu's face changed in shock, there is a saying of "one pig, two bears and three tigers" in Changbai Mountain, it can be seen that what is most afraid in this mountain forest is not bears or tigers, but groups of wild boars, these wild boars have a layer of grease and hard shells, and the stick has no effect at all when hit on it, even the knife can't cut it, and the wild boar is very powerful, and it can kill people at once.

As soon as he entered this dry rice bowl, he was surrounded by thirteen wild boars, which cast a shadow on the hearts of all the mountain herders.

The boar didn't wait long, it rushed up at us, its huge body was more than twice as large as the average boar, the ground seemed to shake as it ran, and there were two sharp fangs on its mouth, which shimmered like a bayonet.

I was the first to stand up and punched the oncoming boar, and the boar flew away with a punch, and one of its fangs was broken, and bright red blood flowed from its nose and mouth, and it couldn't die anymore.

Yes.

A scream came, although I killed a wild boar, but the wild boar from other directions rushed into the crowd, and one person was directly hit by the wild boar, fell to the ground and died, and no one who went on like this would survive.

Bang, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the boar's back, but the bullet was stuck in the flesh, and half of the bullet was left outside, which shows how hard the grease shell on these wild boars is.

"Evil-faced corpse woman, Song Junhe, what are you waiting for, are you waiting for everyone to die?" I saw that someone was knocked into the air again, and immediately rushed over to block the wild boar, and at the same time screamed at the evil-faced corpse woman and Song Junhe.

The evil-faced corpse woman snorted coldly, walked up with the black magic cane in her hand, and Cao Wu immediately said: "Old lady, don't go out, you are old, just stay inside." ”

Bang, before Cao Wu's words fell, the black magic crutch of the evil-faced corpse woman had already smashed on the body of a wild boar, and the body of the wild boar was directly smashed into a pile of meat puree, so shocked that Cao Wu almost bit off his tongue, and he could swallow an egg with a long mouth.

Song Junhe was even more perverted, his fingers flexed and flicked, and a red ball of light flew out, hitting the wild boar's body, the wild boar would collapse to the ground, and when he got closer, he saw that the pores on his body were oozing blood, and he couldn't die anymore.

The twelve wild boars were quickly killed by the three of us, and the herders were still frozen in place with their sticks, watching us with shock and fear, and the herd of wild boars that the herds of wild boars that the herders feared were killed in a matter of minutes, which they could not even have imagined.

"Since you have so much power, why don't you use it in the first place, and watch our people die." Suddenly, Cao He walked up and yelled at us, his eyes were red and he asked: "If you do it at the beginning, we won't die two people when we see Ghost Ginseng, and we won't die two people just now." ”

Two more people died in the collision of the wild boar just now, and the number of people has changed from nine to seven, Liuxiu Village is a family, and everyone is very sad and angry when four people die, and their eyes have become unkind when they look at us.

"We're not on your team, so why should we help you?" Song Junhe sneered, glanced at those mountain holders with cold eyes, and then stood with the evil-faced corpse woman regardless of what others thought.

The power shown by Song Junhe and the evil-faced corpse woman was too terrifying, those mountain goers dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but their faces were very angry, I walked up to Sun Xiang and said, "Old boss, don't blame them, they are such insensitive people." ”

"Hmph, they are also poisoned, why stand by and watch, isn't it a million? When I find a thousand-year-old ginseng, I can't buy a single whisker for a million. Cao Wuwu said, and there was anger in the depths of his eyes.

I smiled bitterly and said: "Their physique is special, there is no poison in the blood miasma at all, you can't threaten them with this, let's think about how we can find thousand-year-old ginseng." ”

My words made Cao Wuwu open his mouth but couldn't speak, Sun Xiang said at this time: "Wild boars will not take the initiative to attack people, unless they have been attacked by people and hold a grudge, I checked it just now, there are residual bullet holes on the bodies of these wild boars, it looks like they have been for a long time, but there are still some scratches on their bodies, which seem to have been left not long ago." ”

"Scratches." I don't care too much about bullet holes, after all, it's been a long time, but the scratches are different, these wild boars live nearby, and if there are scratches, it means that there may be other dangers in this place besides wild boars.

I followed Sun Xiang to the side of a wild boar, which I had killed, and there were no injuries on my body except for the fangs, and I could see the scratches more clearly.

These scratches are on the side of the boar's back, the black and red color is very clear, there are five in total, it looks shocking, the most incomprehensible thing is that there are signs of decay next to this scratch, and there is a fishy smell coming out.

"What is this scratch?" Cao Wu walked up, he was also a very experienced mountain herder, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be a side stick, but he was frowning at the moment, because he had never seen this kind of scratch, and he didn't know what kind of beast left it.

"Everyone, be careful, let's keep walking, and at the same time be sure to pay attention to safety when pressing the mountain." Sun Xiang said that although there were only seven people, he still had to continue to look for ginseng, which was the most important goal of Laigan Rice Basin.

The old head led the direction in front, and the people behind lined up in a line to look for it, Sun Xiang kept folding branches and tying cloth strips to make marks, so as to follow the marks back, I looked at the scratches of the wild boar but knew very well in my heart that this scratch was likely to be left by zombies, that is to say, there are likely to be zombies in this area.

I didn't follow, but walked over to the Evil Face Corpse Woman: "Evil Face Corpse Woman, there should be zombies here, we need to watch the point, we can't let those zombies kill these people." ”

"I've smelled zombies for a long time, and I don't have corpses under my hands now, so I just want these people to lure those zombies out." There was a smile on the corner of the mouth of the evil-faced corpse woman, but no matter how you look at it, it is full of horror.

"Evil-faced corpse woman, I don't care what your plans are, but these people must not die again, or who will take you to the mysterious ancient road." I snorted coldly, disgusted by the insensitivity of this evil-faced corpse.

"Ah," suddenly there was a scream in front of me, and I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, and ran up with Liu Qianying.
