The so-called mandrill, I also saw it from the book, a kind of monster that grows in the southern mountains, it can also be said to be a mountain spirit, simply put, it is a mountain spirit, this mountain monster appears in the mountains around Yunnan and Guizhou, it is rumored that there have been mountain people encountered, so the book is recorded, and it also comes from those experiences. There is also a mention in the "Divine Sutra" that the act of lighting firecrackers to startle the mandrill, but that thing is only one foot long and does not eat people. It is also said: The mandrill is a kind of monster in the mountains, with a long body and a black body, and infinite strength. Legend has it that it can run faster than a leopard, tear apart tigers and leopards with bare hands, is the overlord of the mountains, and has a very long lifespan, and is regarded as a monster.

But no one knows what the real mandrill looks like, and those who may know it will not say.

When I came to this place, I naturally thought of this mountain spirit.

"Ahh

Just as Master and I were walking briskly, we suddenly heard a scream from the woods, which was like a human voice, and Master suddenly stopped, turned his head to look over, and I hurriedly said, "Master, it seems that someone has been injured in the woods!" ”

"Hmm." The master nodded and said, "The master also heard it, since this is the case, let's go to the woods and take a look, if someone is really injured, we can't die without help!" ”

Immediately, we returned the way we came, and went straight to the slightly desolate woods, which were said to be desolate, but there were no villages or stockades in the vicinity, only a hazy pale white mist, and a gloomy light, and barren grass and vegetation everywhere, and the woods in front of us were also disorganized, not like the result of someone deliberately planting, and there were bushes inside, and it was difficult to enter this wood.

I pointed in one direction and said hurriedly, "Master, the scream just now seems to have come from that direction!" ”

The master glanced at it, did not say anything, quickly bypassed the trees in front of me, and ran over, I was naturally not far behind, and also ran forward with the figure of the master, at this moment, I seemed to hear a series of chaotic footsteps, and I was also gathering towards the source of the sound, my heart was not good, could it be that the screams attracted the beasts in the mountains? If that's the case, I'm afraid Master and I will be in danger too!

"Second baby! Are you hurt?! When I heard this voice, it turned out to be Chinese, it seemed that it was a foreigner living with the local seedlings, and the voice was rough and urgent, like the exclamation of a middle-aged man.

"My legs are all bitten! What is this thing biting?! ”

There was another scream, but it sounded like that of a slightly younger man, and soon, Master and I saw them from a distance. This is like five or six villagers, dressed plainly and simply, all of them have messy hair, and they are full of dirt, some of them hold bamboo baskets, some carry bows and arrows, and some carry spears and axes.

And there was a person lying on the ground humming, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and small, his face was pale and bloodless at the moment, his teeth were clenched, and it seemed that the severe pain had tormented him to the point of fainting, I looked at it, and it was really shocking, the lower half of one of this young man's legs was almost blurred with flesh and blood, and his heart was a little unbearable, at such a young age, there was such a big disaster, a good teenager, why did he run out to hunt? !

How can his family not take care of it?

When we stepped forward, the villagers suddenly looked at us vigilantly, and raised their hands one after another, and the master hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Don't misunderstand, our master and apprentice are outsiders, and when we heard the screams of this child passing by, we came in looking for the source of the sound, alas, why is it so badly injured?!" ”

"Yes! It is designated as the mountain monster that angered here, I said a long time ago, we shouldn't come, look at this ......" The middle-aged man who looked the oldest on the side sighed lightly and put down his sharp gun.

"Mountain monsters?" The master asked in surprise, and then frowned and said, "I don't know if it's a mountain monster, but if this kid is not only bandaged with blood, not only will this leg not be saved, but even his life will be put into it, you go find some hemostatic grass, and I will bandage him!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked around for herbs, and I tore off a piece of cloth from the bag and handed it to the master, and after a while, the middle-aged man brought a large handful of hemostatic herbs, and the master grabbed the hemostatic herbs and crushed them, and grinded the juice out, glanced at the young man, and said, "There is some pain, you can bear with it." ”

Saying that, the master pressed the hemostatic grass to the position of the young man's injury, the young man suddenly grinned in pain, and his teeth were clenched so bloodshot that he really didn't scream, he just snorted, seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly admire this little boy, his willpower was beyond my imagination, if it was me, I am afraid I would have passed out several times. Could it be that the young people in Miao Jiang are all so strong and brave?

Immediately afterwards, the master bandaged the young man's wound and said, "This is just a simple treatment, you have to carry him back immediately and do a second fine treatment, disinfection is a must, and his wound will inevitably cause internal heat tonight, and the real danger is still to come!" ”

"Good! I'll carry him! The middle-aged man immediately handed over the guy in his hand to the person on the side, bent over and put the person called Erwa on his back, got up and left, but just took two steps, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the master: "Thank you really Mr. this time, it's just that we can't find a cure in our village, if you don't hurry up, can you ......?"

The master glanced at the sky, it was almost dusk, and immediately nodded and said, "We are looking for a place to spend the night, so let's go back to the village with you." ”

After exchanges along the way, I learned that they are all not far from the stone village people, all surnamed Shi, it is said that the first ancestor came to the stone village to live, and then gradually spread out, in the end, most of the people in this stone village are related to the deceased, but the age is long, and it has long been out of the five dogs, the so-called five dogs are not close relatives. Despite this, they are still good neighbors, and the parents are all helping each other, and the people of their stone village are also local mature seedlings, they are foreigners, and they belong to a branch surnamed Shi.

The middle-aged man with the second baby on his back, called Shi Laosan, is the most effective speaker in the village, similar to the level of the Han village chief.

The incident came out of the second baby's house, so the second baby, who was only fifteen years old, insisted on going out to help with Shi Laosan, but he never thought that he was still young and had no life experience, so he went out and got a leg injury. But because of what it was, these people, including Shi Laosan, didn't say a word, only told us a word, and they knew it when they arrived in Stone Village. It's not clear now.

With full of doubts, Master and I followed in the footsteps of Shi Laosan and others and came to Stone Village, and sure enough, the village is as its name suggests, although the whole village is about fifty or sixty households in fragments, and the area is not small, covering most of the hillside, but none of them are built with bricks, all of them are houses made of stones and tiles.

A barren and humble scene.

Entering the village, the villagers also greeted him, shh ”

After speaking, Shi Laosan turned around and walked out of the door, ran to the yard, picked up a scoop and poured a few large mouthfuls of cold water, and waved his hand to let the villagers who were outside the courtyard wall go back to their respective homes, don't mix them blindly!

After the villagers left, I suddenly heard a slight noise from the inner room of the east room, and I was about to open the door of the inner room of the east room, and suddenly I smelled a foul smell wafting from the crack in the door, which smoked me so much that I almost vomited on the spot, I turned around and ran outside and opened my mouth, fortunately I didn't vomit, but I looked at it in horror, thinking what was the situation in the inner room of the east room?!

Seeing my reaction, Master couldn't help but turn his head to look at the inner room in the east room with the door closed, and asked Shi Laosan at the door, "Brother Shi, this is ......?"

Shi Laosan glanced at the inner room of the east room, shook his head and sighed, and then said: "Mr. Yang, there is Shi Shan, the elder brother of the second baby living in the inner room of the east room, this time we ran to the treacherous forest because of Shanzi's affairs, otherwise the second baby would not be injured, he also went for his brother, alas......"

The master frowned and asked in surprise, "What is the problem with the stone mountain, which will make you ...... Can I go in and have a look? ”

Shi Laosan silently walked into the house, didn't say anything, and opened the door when he arrived in the east inner room, and then a foul smell rushed out, I hurriedly reached out to cover my mouth and nose, but the master and Shi Laosan, in addition to the frowns, but not as gaffe as me, the master walked in quickly, Shi Laosan also followed, I really can't smell the stench, but my heart is extremely curious, like a cat scratched, not to see what's going on is really uncomfortable!

So I walked slowly to the door, but the foul smell made my eyes smoke straight to tears, and I had seen some evil mountains and rivers, but I had never encountered such a strange thing. I saw that in the inner room, there was a bed placed against the window, and on the bed, a person was tightly covered under the futon, and the foul smell came from under the futon!
