Xiao Zhang asked rhetorically, "What do you mean, is she a mute?" ”

Saying that, Xiaozhang immediately turned around to look, and sure enough, the Li girl opened her mouth, revealing that half of her tongue was cut off, the incision was very neat, and she was really a dumb person, but looking at this broken tongue, it should not be a natural disability, but a living person who cut it off.

Xiao Zhang was taken aback and said Who was so ruthless that he cut off her tongue?

Chen Yun frowned and said, "This girl's identity in the Li clan may not be simple, I seem to have heard people say that the goddess of the Li nationality cannot begin to speak, and the clan will cut off the tongue of the goddess when she is young, as if to allow the goddess to communicate with the gods." Her tongue should have been cut out a long time ago. ”

I said isn't that bullshit, you can talk to the gods by pulling out your tongue, this special rule is enough to fuck up, there are so many dumb people in this society, I haven't heard of anyone who can communicate with the gods.

Chen Yun said that this is of course superstition, but some ancient clans still really believe in this, okay, don't stay here with too many people, she just woke up, and she hasn't adapted to the environment yet, let's not get too close, so as to save her from being scared and nervous.

Xiao Zhang said that someone must be left here to take care of it, or should I stay alone?

Chen Yun glanced at him and said Okay, this girl has just woken up, don't ask her too much, wait until her spirit slowly calms down.

We all followed Chen Yun out and let Xiao Zhang stay alone in the house to get along with the dumb girl, Ge Zhuang said with a smile when he went out, "I think Xiao Zhang is very interested in others, most likely because of this dumb girl." ”

"This girl's origin is unknown, it's better to wait for her to recover from her injuries and send her away as soon as possible." Lao Zhong said sullenly on the side, "We have already delayed too much time, it is recommended to rest for the last day today, and go into the back mountain tomorrow to find the way, the ruins of Gu Yelang are likely to be in this generation." ”

Chen Yun took out his notebook, pointed to a few red dots on the line and said, "According to speculation, the most likely location to find the ancient Yelang ruins is indeed in this generation, if we can't find clues on the mountain tomorrow, we can only leave and go to other places to look for it." ”

Everyone hopes to stop tossing, just rushing to delay two or three days, the back mountain can find the best ruins, save the daylily is cold in the future.

Ge Zhuang suddenly patted his head, and said yes, didn't Uncle Heza say it, this dumb girl should be a member of the Li tribe in the back mountain, she grew up in the back mountain, and must be very familiar with the road conditions, or when we go up the mountain tomorrow, we will bring people with us?

Chen Yun said forget it, her physical condition is not suitable for trekking through mountains and rivers, at least she will have to recuperate for a few days to recover, I will discuss with her after she calms down and see if I can inquire about some of the conditions on the Ten Thousand Snake Ridge.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, so I just said it, but she can't speak after all, how can she show us the way? Chen Yun smiled and said that she could draw, but I was just going to try my luck, and I didn't think that she could really provide us with any clues.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ge Zhuang and I accompanied Uncle Hesa out of the canyon and went to a forest in the back mountain to set up some traps to see if we could catch some game and come back to fight for the tooth sacrifice.

We first dug a two-meter-square pit in the ground with a shovel, cut down some bamboos from the mountains, sharpened the two ends with a firewood knife, inserted the bamboo sticks into the pit, spread branches on it, covered it with a layer of wild grass, sprinkled it with soil, covered it with a thin layer, and put the only pile of sweet potatoes in Uncle Hesa's house on it, and then climbed far up to the tree and covered it with branches.

The next thing is to wait for the prey to take the bait, whether the hunting can have a harvest, completely depends on luck, but Uncle Hesa told us that there are many wild beasts in the back mountain, except for the wolf is a wild boar, the wolf is fine, and generally does not provoke the people in the village, but the wild boar has caused enough harm to the crops in the field, especially in time for the winter famine, when the green and yellow are not received, there will always be wild boars going down the mountain to arch the ground, gnawing on the crops to satisfy hunger.

The most hated thing by the people in the mountains is the wild boar, once this thing forms a scale, it will destroy a lot of crops, so we set this trap specifically to catch wild boars.

The three of us sat on the branches of the trees and chatted while waiting for the boar to take the bait, and about two hours there was movement in the woods. Uncle Heza was the first to find out, and quickly motioned for us to stop talking and hide ourselves with branches.

Wild boars are very sensitive to the environment, and all wild beasts have a set of methods to distinguish different species by smell, in order to wait for the wild boar to take the bait, Ge Zhuang and I didn't even dare to light a cigarette, we couldn't take our eyes off the forest that came from the movement, held our breath and waited.

The shadows of the trees in the forest have been shaking, there is a brown thing pressing the tip of the grass walking, a behemoth, I looked at it from a distance, and roughly judged that this thing is nearly two meters long, such a big wild boar is not common, and only this kind of deep mountain old forest can be raised, I am afraid that there will be three or four hundred catties.

After a while, I heard a "hum" sound from the forest, very similar to the sound of Ge Zhuang usually sleeping and snoring, knowing that the prey was about to be baited, squinting my eyes, where the wild boar passed, an arm-thick sapling fell, and the weeds fell down, and a black shadow was moving quickly, and in a short time it rushed towards the trap we had arranged.

It's a big head!

When the wild boar jumped out of the woods, and completely appeared in front of us, it scared us firmly, I have never seen such a strong wild boar, the wild boar's hooves are almost catching up with the calf, almost at a speed of 100 meters to run to the trap we set, before we have time to bite a bite of sweet potato, the body stepped on the pit and fell.

The pit is full of sharpened bamboo, all the weight of the wild boar is concentrated on the bamboo, the end is conceivable, the wild boar pierced through the abdomen by the bamboo let out a very terrible roar, rolling down the pit and struggling frantically, the harder the struggle, the deeper the bamboo will be inserted, this thing hummed for more than half an hour before it died.

"It's done, hurry down!" Ge Zhuang was the first to climb down the tree, and he went over to catch the wild boar, the wild animals in the mountains are very strong, I was afraid that the wild boar was not dead, so I quickly reminded him loudly, saying fat man, you should be careful.

Ge Zhuang had already squatted on the edge of the pit, kicked twice on the back of the wild boar with his foot, and said triumphantly, "It's okay, it's done!" ”

Uncle Heza and I jumped to the ground and strode towards the boar carcass, and Uncle Heza muttered as he walked, saying that it was strange, how could this beast be so cautious, how could he rush over in such a hurry, and it didn't look like he was trying to gnaw on the sweet potatoes on the ground, as if he was running for his life.

Then a low cry came from Ge Zhuang's side, "Little pumpkin, come and take a look, this wild boar still has a bow and arrow stuck in its buttocks!" ”

Yes?

When I heard this, I quickly quickened my pace, walked to Ge Zhuang in three or two steps and squatted down, and sure enough, I saw a feather arrow pierced on the boar's fat buttocks, and the shaft of the arrow had been broken, and only the metal arrow was still embedded in its buttocks.
