Chapter 40 Lying in the Nest
"Damn, this little thing bites so much!" Ge Zhuang shook his hand vigorously and cursed loudly at the insect lying on his hand, and Ah Xi came up to check it for him, saying that these creatures in the mountains, it is best not to provoke them if they encounter them, maybe it was because of our rash intrusion, which made the mountain god master unhappy, so he deliberately punished us.
I think Asi is very superstitious, but it's no wonder that people who have lived near the mountains since childhood are more or less tainted with superstitious customs, and this is true in the south, and it is the same in the north.
I looked at Ge Zhuang's hands, all the wrists were full of small bumps, and after a while, they were red and itchy, and they were very uncomfortable, so the fat man rubbed his hands on the tree, like a mother bear scratching his head, and shouted for me to get some snow for him, saying that it would stop the itching.
Assi immediately handed over a small bottle, which was soaked in green straw juice, and he said that it was specially designed to prevent mosquito bites, so quickly apply it! In this mountain forest, there are small things living everywhere, and the people in the mountains are not afraid of fierce beasts, but they are afraid of small insects.
I took the small bottle and wiped the bitten wrist for Ge Zhuang, saying that there will be insect activity in the woods in the north when it is so cold? Ah Xi said yes, there are a lot of insects in this area of Longxingling, you better not go into the mountain, there is really nothing interesting in this place.
Assi only knew that we were out-of-town tourists, but he didn't know what the specific purpose of our trip was, and he was muttering all the way, complaining about why we came to such a remote place. He is quite simple, and the people in the mountains are also simple, but if this continues, sooner or later he will be suspicious, so after I finished wiping Ge Zhuang with the medicinal wine, I threw the bottle back to him, saying that we can just send us here, how far is ahead, we can go by ourselves.
Axi said that after turning over the big mountain now, there are two mountain beams, there was a small village near Longxingling a few decades ago, but now it has long been abandoned, you want to find Longxingling, you can be at the foot of that small deserted village, but I tell you, it is said that there is a lot of haunting, and even in the middle of the day, there are people in the back mountain to meet the ghost wall, if you are lucky, you can walk back, and if you are unlucky, you will be trapped in it, and the reason why the village will be deserted is because there are many rumors of haunting.
I thanked him, and looked at Kenjiro Fujino, saying that you give him the rest of the guide fee, the mountains are far away, and people have daughters-in-law and cubs, so it's not suitable to continue with us.
Kenjiro Fujino shook his head and said, "No, without a guide to lead the way, it depends on how long it will take our gang to get to Longxingling, money is not a problem, but you have to take us to the right place." ”
This little Japanese is very shrewd, when I speak, I noticed that the tone was wrong, this deep mountain and old forest, and there is no passerby, belongs to the area of the king of Hades and Lao Tzu, and he is not afraid of being discovered by doing anything, I have every reason to suspect that this grandson has no good intentions towards the guide Axi, maybe when he arrives in Longxingling, Axi's tour guide career should be over.
Ge Zhuang and I glanced at each other and didn't speak, but Axi, who didn't know anything, was still ignorant, nodded to Kenjiro Fujino with a smile, and said This master, look at what you said, I will definitely take you to your destination, don't worry, I won't leave.
I feel very sorry for Assi in my heart, if he leaves now, takes a small sum of money, and has nothing to do, he has to pay attention to some "professional ethics" with this group of little Japan, isn't this going into the pit with a lantern in the middle of the night - looking for death?
The ridge is high and dangerous, deep in the forest, there is a vast white mist shrouded in the forest, continue to walk for a while, the team found a suitable camp to rest, the Japanese are very well prepared, they found a place to lie down, set up a few tents, Fujino Eagle is old, into the deep mountains all the way, can't help but be so tired, was placed in the tent, I called Axi aside, secretly gave him a sum of money, said you draw me the road map behind, take the money yourself and go quickly.
Dude has done his best to do this, it's not a glorious thing to fight, this thing can't see the light of day, once he leads us to our destination, needless to say, I already guess what Kenjiro Fujino will do to him.
But Assi refused to accept it, saying that I had promised to be your guide, and that I would not go unless everyone agreed to let me continue to lead the way.
I was angry with him, I wanted to scold him for being stupid, and I thought that people were also kind, and I was hesitating, Kenjiro Fujino came to us and said two, what are you talking about?
As soon as he came, I had to dispel the idea of persuading Assi to leave, saying that it was nothing, and that I would ask him how far the road was below. Kenjiro Fujino didn't trust me, so he walked up to me and said to Assi, "Mr. Guide, how long is the next road?" ”
Axi said that it is not far away, in front of it is Lie Wo Ling, and after Lie Wo Ridge is Xiong Ren Gou, and then it is the place you are looking for this time, but a few masters, you listen to me, these three places are more dangerous than the other, not to mention that the snow covers the mountains in winter, even if it is summer, no one dares to go, what are you doing?
Kenjiro Fujino smiled but didn't answer, and pulled the topic away, saying how dangerous is the front? Assi said that there are snakes in Pawo Ridge, and that's how the name comes from.
Kenjiro Fujino broke a stick from a tree and said Is there a snake? No, it's a harsh winter month, and another month should be the Spring Festival, the coldest time of the year, shouldn't all long insects hibernate?
Assi said mysteriously, "I won't tell you, it does sound like this, but the snakes in Woling are different, even if they are in the harsh winter, they don't hibernate, I know a friend, his old uncle was killed by a snake in the mountains." ”
Because we are going to cross the Lie Nest Ridge next, so I am particularly concerned about the situation that Ah Xi talked about, and quickly asked him what is going on, and Ah Xi pointed to the ravine in front of me and told me that this is the territory of the Lie Nest Ridge, and my friend's uncle went up the mountain to chop wood a few years ago, and when he was carried back, his body was stiffened into a popsicle.
How did he die, you ask? Ouch, this master, I'll kill you, ten thousand snakes pierce the heart, die miserably, when the search and rescue team in the mountains found the body, my friend and his uncle were still full of poisonous snakes, and his belly was gnawed through, do you say it's scary?
I frowned and said, "Have you prepared realgar powder?"
Assi said that since you want to enter the mountain, these things must be equipped, in my bag, when you pass the Lying Nest Ridge for a while, it is best for everyone to prepare a bag in your hand, and I have to remind you that in the winter in the north, there will be very thick snow in the deep mountains, this snake adapts to the climate of the Lying Nest Ridge, and in winter it will go into the snowdrifts to lurk, and will not come out until the time of hunting, so don't step on the snowdrifts when you see them, try to avoid it.
