Early the next morning, I met Xiao Dunzi at the station, Xiao Dunzi saw Luojia at first, and was startled, and asked me why I was with Luojia, I smiled and didn't tell him, this matter is also complicated to explain.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning, and it wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that we arrived in Yangcheng, Shanxi, and then transferred to Python River Town, which is the gate of the western mountain range of the Taihang Mountains.

Luojia was obviously familiar with this place, and she led us all the way to the easternmost part of the town, where there were many horsemen, indigenous guides to the tourist attractions of Python Town, all local villagers, mostly old men and aunts, with very flexible thin bodies, and always with a simple smile on their faces, showing yellow teeth.

Luojia looked at the time, then found a groom, pulled him aside and asked, "Do you want to go to the ditch slope?" ”

The groom frowned and said, "You didn't go to the Grand Canyon to play?" ”

Luojia shook his head and said that he would go to the ditch slope, and the groom looked embarrassed and said: "You can go, but it's too far, and the road is not easy to walk, and it is estimated that it will be night when you go, and the price is ......."

Before he finished his words, Luojia said very simply: "The price is not a problem, you mention it, as long as it is not excessive, I can accept it." ”

The groom said yes and readily agreed. The groom said that we could leave in half an hour and we could go to dinner first.

While eating, I suddenly saw a figure in the crowd that looked familiar, but when I looked again, it was gone, and I didn't pay attention to it.

After dinner, the groom informed us that we could depart, and strangely enough, when we put our luggage on a horse, the horse kicked it several times in the leg as if frightened, apparently not wanting to carry the cargo.

The groom tossed for a long time, and the horse was not honest, so the groom whipped it fiercely, but when it was loaded with goods, it still didn't work, even if it was forcibly put on the horse's back, the horse would shake off.

Luojia said at this time that he couldn't change to an obedient horse, and the groom answered, and planned to put it on another slightly older horse, but the result was still like this, and then the groom asked Luojia: "Girl, what are you carrying in this luggage, this beast has smelled something that makes it afraid." ”

Luojia was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled and said, "I know what to do." ”

As she spoke, she asked the groom to put down his luggage, took out a plastic bag from a suitcase, untied the bag, and grabbed a handful of something like brown sugar from inside, but the smell was a little musty, it was not brown sugar.

Luojia asked the groom to take some concentrate feed, sprinkled all the things in his hand, and let the groom stir it, and then took it to feed the horses.

The horse sniffed it, or ate the concentrate feed, and then Luojia asked the groom to rack the goods, and the horse would no longer toss, and they were all stunned by the little dun and the groom, and I was not surprised.

When everything was ready, the horse team set out on the road, and the horseman, who called himself Sun Laohan, said that if nothing else, the time to reach the water ditch slope should be about ten o'clock in the evening.

But who knows, halfway through, an accident really happened.

When the horse team left the town, passing through a village, Sun Laohan asked us to wait for him at the intersection, and then hurriedly ran into a dilapidated courtyard at the entrance of the village, and after a few minutes, he came out with something on his back, which was one and a half meters long, and was tightly wrapped in cloth, but looking at the shape, it looked like a shotgun.

Sun Laohan came to us and said: "Recently, someone said that there are jackals infested, and several people have been injured by jackals, so they still take a guy to the safety point." ”

In the evening, the dirt road has turned into a rugged mountain road, and there are weeds on both sides of the road, and after the sky darkens, Sun Laohan reminds us to pay attention to our surroundings, and report what we see or hear in time.

I didn't go far, Luojia suddenly said stop, I was startled, Sun Laohan asked Luojia what was wrong, Luojia frowned and said, there is movement in the grass. I listened carefully, but there was no movement at all, but Sun Laohan quickly took out the shotgun and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, suddenly the howl of a wolf came from the grass next to me, and the horse was suddenly frightened.

Luojia said, get the luggage down first, Xiao Dunzi and I hurriedly got the luggage down, at this time, a gray shadow came out of the grass and pounced on Sun Laohan. Sun Laohan also reacted quickly and fired a shot.

At this moment, the five horses were completely frightened, broke free from the reins in my hands, and ran away in a panic.

The jackal was also frightened by the sound of the gunshot, and there was no movement, and the wolf howl was gone. Sun Laohan began to complain that he shouldn't take our job, and lost five horses, Luojia said that she would pay and let Sun Laohan lead the way, and we walked to Shuigou Slope.

Sun Laohan said that there is still half the way here, and I am afraid that it will be past twelve o'clock. Luojia said unhappily, you lead the way, I will add 500 yuan to you. Only then did Sun Laohan agree to come down, and walked to the front with a shotgun, and I walked behind with my luggage.

The moonlight was nice tonight, and we could barely see the road clearly without flashlights, stopping and stopping along the way. It was about ten o'clock, I felt something under my feet, and when I picked it up, it was actually a grimace mask, which was quite similar to the mask worn by the person under Chen Laogou before.

I hurriedly told Luojia about this, is it Chen Laogou chasing after me. Luojia frowned and thought for a while and said, it shouldn't be, be careful, and be improvised.

At this moment, the wolf howl sounded again, and this time the wolf howl came and went, and I estimated that there were dozens of them. Sun Laohan was also frightened, and complained, what the hell did you meet today, why are there so many jackals.

And Luojia on the side said in a heavy tone: "I'm afraid we have encountered a jackal that is rare in a hundred years to worship the moon!" ”

I think it's pretty evil to hear, and before I could ask what it meant, the little pier next to me asked first.

Luojia said coldly: "I don't understand what I told you, don't run blindly, we're in trouble." She took out a white candle from my duffel bag, lit the white candle on the lighter, and then asked Ye Er to grab a handful of wormwood leaves, spread them into a circle about ten centimeters in diameter on the ground, and then lit the dried wormwood leaves with the candle.

When the wormwood was on fire, she blew out the flames on the wormwood in one breath, and as soon as the flames were extinguished, a puff of white smoke immediately appeared, and these white smoke rose less than half a meter high, and began to float down, gathering on the ground, just like that layer of mist.

This phenomenon obviously scared us stupid, Luojia's face also became ugly at this time, and suddenly, the candle in her hand seemed to be blown out by a yin wind, and the white smoke on the ground also dissipated immediately, and within a few seconds, it was gone.

Luojia said with a shocked face: "Everyone be careful! ”

At this time, suddenly there was a gray shadow, from the grass nest about two meters away from Sun Laohan, and directly rushed at him, Sun Laohan's reaction speed was also fast, he directly held the gun and shot at the white shadow, just listen to a bang, the thing didn't say a word, it was knocked to the ground, through the light, you can see its body twitch a few times, and then it didn't move.

Sun Laohan smiled proudly and said, "Now that I'm old, when I was young, I reacted more quickly, and I didn't need to shoot it, I could just knock it over with the butt of the gun." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Laohan screamed.

When he called, he was looking down at his elbow, and I quickly asked him what was wrong, and he turned around, and said as he went: This beast did not bite me, but his front paw, and grabbed my arm, leaving a bloody mark.

Saying that, he also came over and let us take a look, but at this time, there was a sudden sound behind Sun Laohan, he quickly turned around nervously, and with the headlamp light on his head, I was dumbfounded, the dead jackal that was lying on the ground just now is now gone, and the kung fu is gone in the blink of an eye.

You say it's weird or not, just now I was shot and had a few convulsions, died, and now it's gone.

Sun Laohan felt that this was nothing, smiled and said: "Maybe it's other jackals, drag him away, forget it, it's really not worth it to take a claw to fight the jackal, let's go on the road." ”

But at this time, Luojia asked everyone not to hurry away, saying that there was something strange. When Sun Laohan heard this, he hurriedly loaded the shotgun with iron sand and gunpowder. This kind of gun is laborious, every time you shoot, you have to change the gunpowder and iron sand, which is very troublesome, and once you encounter a large number of jackals, it is really useless.

Luojia said at this time: "Hurry up and pour out the iron sand and reinstall it." ”

Sun Laohan said: "Girl, this is a soil gun, you don't understand, that's how it is loaded." "I'm still wondering, does Luojia also understand this thing?

Luojia said: "It's not a problem of filling, it's a problem of iron sand, those things are not normal things, ordinary iron sand doesn't work at all, hurry up!" ”

At this time, Ye Er also pointed to the distance and shouted, saying that there was a shadow moving over there.
