Chapter 44: Mountain Demon

Deng Yurong hung one hand from a strip of cloth, and the town's doctor said that his arm was likely to be scrapped.

He gritted his teeth with hatred for abolishing his arm, and hated to eat his flesh raw.

"You can't forget it, if you offend me, I'm going to let him die."

Deng Yurong came to the town, bought two catties of meat, and then carried the raw meat, limping into the large mountain forest behind Yutou Town.

He didn't know that all of his actions fell into the eyes of a dark-skinned teenager.

This young man's name is Fang Baomu, he is from Fangqiao Village, and he was the one who went to inform Fang Yue last time when Deng Yurong went to Li Niangzi's house to propose marriage.

Fang Xiucai in the village gave him a task this time, which was to keep an eye on Deng Yurong and see what abnormal behavior Deng Yurong had.

Seeing Deng Yurong enter the mountain forest, Fang Baomu did not follow in, but went straight back to Fangqiao Village from the town and told Fang Xiucai in the village the news.

Fang Yue was making some things in the yard, putting some black powder into bottles and cans, and then sealing them tightly.

It's dusk, and classes at the village school usually last only one morning. At noon, the children go home for lunch and then stay at home to either revise their homework or help with the family.

The people in the village are poor, and most of the children just know a few words in the village school, and they don't expect them to learn anything, and when they are older, they still have to go back to the old way of fishermen.

As for supporting a child to take the imperial examination, the average fisherman's family is poor and has no financial resources.

After Fang Yue heard the news from the young man, his expression was slightly cold, that Deng Yurong really had a problem.

He took out a string of copper coins and asked the boy to give them, but the boy refused to accept them.

Fang Yue said: "I entrust you to pay attention to Deng Yurong's movements, this is the hard money for you to run errands."

Fang Baomu shook his head and said, "Xiucai, I know that you want to avenge Uncle Baikuan, and I also want to avenge Uncle Baikuan." Uncle Baikuan is such a good person, because he offended Deng Yurong, he was bitten to death by the beasts in the mountains.

When I was very young, I had a high fever and almost died, and my father went out to sea to fish and did not return, and it was Uncle Baikuan who carried me all the way to the town to find a doctor.

So I also want to avenge Uncle Baikuan, and I can't take your money. ”

Fang Yue didn't expect that Fang Baikuan would have such a favor for Fang Baomu, no wonder when Deng Yurong ran to Li Niangzi's house to propose marriage, he hurriedly ran to find Fang Yue.

"Killing pays for life, Fang Baikuan is of the same clan as me, as long as there is definite evidence to prove that his death was done by Deng Yurong, I will not let Deng Yurong go.

Now that I have abolished Deng Yurong's arm, he should hate me to the bone. He sneaks into the mountains and forests, and there will be a follow-up, but I want to see what kind of thing is hidden behind him, which can drive the wild beasts in the mountains and forests to attack people. ”

Fang Yue said slowly, behind Deng Yurong, there should be some mountain spirit and wild monster hidden.

That mountain spirit monster, the strength should not be too strong, otherwise there is no need to hide, you must know that there are no powerful people in Yutou Town.

Now that he has entered the second level, he has a certain amount of self-preservation power, and powerful ghosts can't deal with it, but ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters are still likely to compete.

What's more, he has other hole cards.

After Fang Baomu left, Fang Yue thought for a while, "To be on the safe side, take a sip first and see you!" ”

An ancient bronze mirror appeared in front of Fang Yue.

"Last time, I used this magic power to spy on the female ghost in red, and the female ghost in red left a mark on her face through a mirror image. Now I am strong in flesh and strong in blood, and I am not easily cursed. ”

Fang Yue's idea was to spy on the spirit behind Deng Yurong by shining on the supernatural powers, if the strength of that spirit was strong enough to cause him damage through the mirror image, then needless to say, don't worry about anything, it's better to run for your life first.

And if it doesn't affect him, it means that it is still within the range of what he can handle.

……

The town of Fishhead is a peninsula that faces the sea on three sides, and where it meets the land on the other side, is a large continuous mountain forest that separates the road from the outside.

Therefore, the villagers of Yutou Town want to go out, either by fishing boat, or to a small wharf at the east end of the town to cross the sea by small boat, and reach another town, Qingyu Town, next to it, in about half an hour, and from there take the land route to other places.

The mountain forest behind Yutou Town cuts off the road and makes Yutou Town remote.

But it also provides some products, in addition to some precious medicinal herbs, which are the fur and flesh of some wild beasts.

Of course, the presence of wild beasts in the mountains and forests also means that there is danger.

Therefore, if you want to go into this mountain forest to collect medicine or hunt, you generally need several people to travel together and take care of each other.

Deng Yurong carried a piece of raw pork of about two catties and limped through the mountains and forests.

He was alone, without even a weapon in his hand, so swaggering, as if he was not at all afraid of the dangers that existed in the mountains and forests.

At dusk, the tired birds return to their nests, and there is a noisy birdsong in the mountain forest.

There are also the roars of fierce beasts in the mountains and forests that sound in the distance, one after another.

After Deng Yurong climbed over a hill, he came to a small stream.

A few wild goats were drinking by the stream, and when they saw Deng Yurong, they raised their heads vigilantly, and when they saw that Deng Yurong had no intention of going over, they did not run away and continued to bow their heads to drink.

Deng Yurong glanced around, and then walked to a large cave not far from the stream.

"Kuroko, Kuroko."

Deng Yurong called out to the cave while shaking the raw pork in his hand.

However, he called several times, but there was no response from the cave.

The forest wind blew, the branches and leaves of the grass and trees rustled, and the sky gradually darkened.

The roars of beasts outside became more and more intense, and Deng Yurong's heart finally became a little panicked.

Two wolves crouched in the grass, silently approaching the wild goats drinking by the stream.

One wolf seemed to smell the meat of raw pork in Deng Yurong's hand and glanced over here.

Deng Yurong swallowed his saliva in fright, hurriedly took out a small cloth bag from his arms, took out one of the animal teeth in the cloth bag, and held it in his hand.

It was a tooth that had been dropped by an unknown animal, about twice the thickness of an adult man's thumb.

The tip of the tooth is sharp, and it looks like a canine.

But if such a large animal tooth belongs to the canine family, then the canine must be so huge.

After taking out this beast tooth, Deng Yurong seemed to have confidence, and shouted at the two wolves lurking in the grass in the distance: "This is the tooth of your mountain king, don't hurry up and get away."

The two wolves seemed to smell something, their hair stood on end, as if they were facing a great enemy, they kept retreating, and then they "whined" and fled without looking back with their tails between their heads, and they couldn't even care about the wild goats that were about to reach their mouths.

A few wild goats that drank water were not as keen as the wild wolves in their sense of danger, but they also realized that something was wrong, and they kept picking up the ground with their hooves, delayed for a while, and hurried into the mountain forest.

There was a sudden silence around them, and all the animals seemed to run out.

"Kuroko, Kuroko."

Deng Yurong called to the entrance of the cave again, hesitating whether to enter the cave to have a look.

After calling for a while, there was a "whoosh" sound in the distance.

"It's not in a cave, I say."

Deng Yurong muttered to himself, and as soon as he turned his head, a pair of red beast eyes were staring at him.

Judging by the appearance, this beast should be an ordinary black dog, the kind of earth dog that belongs to ordinary farmers who come to the home and nursery.

But looking at its huge size like a wild elephant, its animalistic red eyes, and its bulging muscles, it is difficult to associate it with an ordinary black dog.

"Kuroko, I brought you your favorite pork."

Deng Yurong shook the raw pork in his hand, he was also a little nervous at the moment, after a few days, the size of the sunspot had grown again, and he looked even more fierce.

It's hard to imagine that just over a month ago, it was a skinny little earth dog.

But now, it is the king of this mountain forest, and its breath alone can scare other beasts from approaching.

Heizi lowered his head and recognized Deng Yuronglai, and his original fierce expression slowly dissipated.

Deng Yurong threw the raw pork in his hand to it, and it tilted its head and easily caught it.

A two-pound piece of raw pork is a matter of one bite for a huge sunspot.

Deng Yurong tried to reach out and touch its head, but the sunspot was too tall now, and Deng Yurong needed to raise his hand to touch it.

Heizi hesitated for a moment, slowly lay down, and lowered his huge dog's head, so that Deng Yurong could easily touch it.

Deng Yurong gently touched its head, and finally put his mind at ease, after all, he was raised since childhood, although it became more and more fierce and tyrannical.
