Chapter 403: Dead Man's Ditch

The landslide is located in Qijia Village, near Yunling in Province F, and the mountain village is inhabited by local mountain people, most of whom are surnamed Qi, and almost all of them are related to each other.

These mountain people are people who have lived in the mountains for several lifetimes, and except for some young people, those who are old have never stepped out of the mountain.

The landslide was devastating for the village, with most of the houses crushed and rescuers erecting more than a dozen military tents on a flat plot to give the homeless people shelter.

During the day, the uninjured villagers followed the rescue team to check if there were any surviving villagers, picked up some usable supplies, and at night several families crowded into tents and fell on the spot.

Because of the rugged mountain road, this village is not open to traffic, if you want to enter the village, you have to walk from a town at the bottom of the mountain to the village, Huang Junyao and I arrived in Qijia Village when it was close to evening, the two of us came as disaster relief volunteers, and Jiang Shu came with us, he stayed in the office and had nothing to do, Gu Lei didn't need him to do easily, heard that Huang Junyao and I were coming to Yunling, and followed without saying a word.

With Huang Junyao and Jiang Shu here, we carried at least more than 100 catties of supplies, and a town cadre on the mountain was so surprised that he didn't know what to say when he saw the backpack behind the two of them, which was nearly one meter six or seven high.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses who obviously looked like a cadre walked over to us, and before he could get closer, he took the initiative to stretch out his enthusiastic hands and said to Huang Junyao with a smile on his face: "Welcome, I didn't expect that there are volunteers willing to come over in such a remote place as ours, thank you so much." ”

Huang Junyao endured it before showing a slight smile, put his hand on this man's hand and put it down, I rushed up and shook this person's hand as soon as I saw it, afraid that Huang Junyao's indifference would make people have bad thoughts again.

"Hello, we are here to listen to the arrangements of our local leaders, do whatever we need to do, and bring these things, except for our own tents, are donated to the victims, see who should give them to distribute."

The man's face, which was still a little embarrassed just now, immediately regained a smile, and a thin man next to him said to us: "This is the leader of the town, Director Liu, who is responsible for the disaster relief work in Qijia Village. ”

"That's great, I didn't expect Director Liu to work on the front line in person, it's really dedicated, then we'll transfer this bit of things to Director Liu, see what we need to do, this is Mr. Huang, he understands medical skills, that is Mr. Jiang, he used to be engaged in fitness, he has a lot of strength, you look at the arrangement."

Huang Junyao and Jiang Shu had already put down the backpacks behind them at this time, took out the tent we were going to use, and took out other materials, including some medicines, and put them directly into a tent on the side.

It seems that Gu Lei was right to propose that we bring medicine up the mountain, if we bring some food, not to mention that we can't carry much, even if we carry it, it won't help much.

Although the village is covered by the mud, but the mountain eats the mountain, these mountain people can quickly get some wild things after entering the mountain, plus there are a few houses that have not been crushed and have a lot of food stored in them, the problem of eating here is not too big for a while, not to mention that the road down the mountain has not been blocked, and the transportation materials in the town are sent over by horse-drawn carts and ox-carts once a day, but because the town under the mountain is not prosperous, the medicine of the town health center is not much and incomplete, and now it is really in need of medicine.

Seeing that we didn't pay much attention to it, we began to work with the rescue team after we arrived that day, and the people in the town didn't pay much attention to us, and every night, Huang Junyao and the three of us would quietly leave the tent and enter the Yunling at the back of the village to check.

Yunling belongs to the remaining veins of the Bashu Mountains, the forests in the mountains are flourishing, there are many kinds of birds and beasts, they are hidden in the depths of the forest, and from time to time they snoop on the people who dare to enter the mountains late at night.

When we entered the mountain the first night, we did not go deeper, the remnants of the demon cultivation in the mountains and forests still existed, Huang Junyao smelled it and knew that this was a snake demon, now it is close to autumn and winter, I don't know why this snake demon will make such a big movement, it stands to reason that it has to find a place to dive and hibernat.

We went into the mountain three times in a row, but we never found any trace of the snake demon, as the breath remained more and more faint, we were about to give up looking for the snake demon when we suddenly found a cloud of black gas in the prey brought back by the people of Qijia Village.

At that time, the situation was like this, the disaster relief work in Qijia Village was nearing the end, and after more than ten days, all the people who could be rescued had been rescued, and the things and food that could be rescued were basically finished.

The villagers who had no houses were relocated to an idle school building in the town for the winter, and when the winter passed, they organized to rebuild their houses.

Several families left behind went into the mountains to hunt during the day and wanted to hunt more wild animals in exchange for money to buy some grain to store, but the common people did not recognize anything else, only knowing that the family had surplus grain and did not panic in their hearts.

The other rescuers all went down the mountain, and the three of us didn't leave, so we stayed on the grounds that we went into the mountains with the villagers to hunt and gain knowledge, but the three of us still lived in our own tents, except for the occasional trip to the villagers' houses to eat some game, and we would look for the snake demon in the mountains the rest of the time.

It was at that time, the villagers who entered the mountain that day had just returned, Huang Junyao and I were standing at the edge of the village and were looking at the sunset in the distance, when we saw the three villagers carrying a wild boar and walking towards the village in a hurry, I took a look, the wild boar's body was surrounded by a circle of black fog, the black fog lingered in the body of the wild boar, and soon the black fog was divided into several streams and drilled into the noses of the villagers.

Huang Junyao also discovered this situation, he strode towards the three villagers, at this time, the steps of the three villagers slowed down significantly, and their eyes also glowed with black light, and the whole eyes began to grow bigger and darker, and the cold eyes were very scary.

The three villagers had not completely lost their minds at this time, and they still knew how to laugh when they saw Huang Junyao, but that smile was very weird, as if someone was pulling their faces and making them pile up smiling faces, and the whole skin was not smiling.

Huang Junyao stretched out his hand and grabbed out the evil qi that had penetrated into the bodies of the three of them, and the three of them all shivered at once, and the black in their eyes also faded, and then the smile on their faces could be regarded as real and kind, and it didn't look so scary.

A dark-looking and shorter man said happily to Huang Junyao: "Come to the house for dinner in a while, I was lucky today, I got a wild boar, I told you that this wild boar meat tastes delicious, and called your daughter-in-law and brother to come over." ”

Huang Junyao nodded in response, and watched the three of them talk and laugh back to the house, I followed him and asked worriedly, "That wild boar won't have a problem, right?" ”

Huang Junyao shook his head, "It's okay, it seems that the wild boar accidentally broke into somewhere, but when I was eating for a while, I thought about asking them where they hunted, and let's explore Yunling again tonight." ”

The hospitality of the people in the mountains is very real, saying that if you don't go over to eat, he will come to you three times and twice, Huang Junyao took me to the house called Qi Zhuzi, the hot wild boar on the table is bubbling with aroma, Qi Zhu's wife is busy serving food inside and outside the house, seeing me and Huang Junyao hurriedly smiled while wiping his hands and letting him go into the house, "Why just the two of you, your brother, let him eat together." ”

Jiang Shu never eats human food, he has long passed the period when he needs to eat, and after all, he is the king of corpses, and he is still afraid that being with the living for a long time will cause discomfort to those people, so he usually tries to stay away from these people, let alone eating at other people's tables, and usually talks to the villagers here more than ten meters away.

At the dinner table, Huang Junyao took out the wild boar they had hunted from in a few sentences, and he took out his treasured wine, and the mountain people all took a sip, and the entrance of such a strong wine was quickly drunk and unconscious.

Huang Junyao and I put these people on the bed and placed them before leaving Qi Zhu's house, Huang Junyao was afraid that there would be any other mistakes and deliberately covered these families in the magic circle, if someone hit the magic circle, he would feel it.

The two of us and Jiang Shu entered the Yunling again, and went straight to the place called the Dead Man's Ditch in the depths of the Yunling, according to those mountain people, the wild boar ran out of the Dead Man's Ditch, and happened to meet the three of them chasing two rabbits, the wild boar's movements were very slow, they easily put the wild boar down, and after hunting the wild boar, the three people did not go deeper into it, and went directly out of the mountain, that is to say, the evil spirit of the wild boar must have been contaminated from the dead man's ditch.

We have also entered the Dead Man's Ditch before, but we didn't find anything, it seems that there are still secrets in the Dead Man's Ditch, Huang Junyao gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe it, a mere snake demon can still go to heaven and earth." ”

It is said that the dead man's ditch is called the dead man's ditch because there was a force when there was a war, and dozens of people were killed here, so it is called the dead man's ditch, although it is called the ditch, it should actually be said to be a valley.

Walking in from the mouth of the valley, there were fewer towering trees inside, and the night owls who were screaming happily for a while also stopped moving, and the three of us walked to the depths of the valley, and when we were halfway there, Jiang Shu suddenly said: "There is a lot of dead air here, and I didn't feel it here." ”

Huang Junyao and I asked Jiang Shu to walk in front, and let him lead the way in front with his intuitive sense of death, and soon we walked in front of two big trees growing side by side.

Huang Junyao looked at the two trees and smiled, "It seems that I was negligent, there is really a formation here." ”
