Time passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was April Lin Yi and Lao Zhang were still patrolling day after day in the mountains and forests, the meteor shower 20 days ago was indeed very beautiful and spectacular, especially the shock of the huge meteorite crossing the top of the two people, people couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of nature, but what does it have to do with actual life? Life is still how to live, people still have to live, money still has to be earned, so Lin Yi and Lao Zhang are still patrolling with a black panther, still resting on the Wangshan Stone, still chatting Today they met a fellow countryman when chatting, of course, there are people in the mountains, as the saying goes, there are always many people who are reluctant to leave the mountains, after all, this is the place where they were born and raised, they live here, and they will grow old here.

"Fellow, come sit down and drink saliva, take a break, what did you pick today" Lin Yi greeted warmly after discovering the fellow, after all, he has been here for nearly five years, and the mountain people also know him. The fellow did not refuse, put down his medicine basket, and sat on the stone with a mountain stick and chatted.

"Hey, what can you pick, it's still a few old herbs, but I took out a nest of honey and went home to make tea and drink," the mountain man leaned against the stone and took a sip of water comfortably

"Yo, wild honey, this is a good thing, people in the city can't buy it if they want to, give me some fellow?" The price is up to you. Lin Yi became interested as soon as he heard this, he was about to go to the city, and it was not bad to get something pure wild to send to his parents, Sijiu City could not buy such pure wild honey. In addition, the honey itself is mild and healthy, and it is best for the elderly to drink.

"Xiao Lin, what kind of money do you mention, besides, what do we people in the mountains want money for, is money useless in the mountains, next time you can bring me some good cigarettes" Xiao Lin knows that the people in the mountains don't need money, but the people in the mountains don't have much need for cash, if they need a lot of money, who doesn't have a few old medicinal herbs at home, these are the hundreds of years of medicinal materials that have been purchased by people with a lot of money, which is not sky-high, let alone wild. So they usually don't pay much attention to these little things.

"Okay, then I'll bring you a few good cigarettes next time, and I'll go to your honey when I'm done," Kobayashi smiled. At this time, the fellow suddenly leaned against the stone and said to Xiao Lin and Lao Zhang, "Xiao Lin, Lao Zhang, be careful recently, I have heard from people in the village that something seems to have appeared on this mountain. ”

"Something? What is it? There are no beasts on the outskirts of this forest, at most foxes or something, what's wrong? "Lao Zhang took over at this time, he hadn't heard of a beast infested here for more than ten years, but he was still in awe of the jungle, after all, the depths of the jungle did not belong to humans.

"I don't know, it's just that some people said that they saw green animal carcasses on the mountain, I don't know who it was, and there was no hair, and they didn't dare to move and came back, and when they went back the next day, the thing was gone." The old mountain people also looked strange

"Could it be wrong?" Lin Yi asked

"The old man didn't know, but more than one person saw it, and it was gone the next day. Maybe we're thinking too much. ”

"Well, okay, we'll be careful lately, thank you, fellow, let's go down the mountain too." Naturally, it's time for the sun to set in the west.

After Lao Zhang and Xiao Lin went back, Xiao Lin asked, "Lao Zhang, can there really be a beast on our side?" Haven't they all gone into the mountains, I haven't seen one in a long time? ”

"Xiao Lin has gone out recently, let's bring protective clothing, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." After all, Lao Zhang is old, and he still attaches great importance to safety, and if he is entangled by wild beasts, he may lose his life if he is not careful, after all, this is a mountain, although it is a periphery, it is better to be careful.

The next day, Lao Zhang and Xiao Lin both put on stab-proof suits for patrolling, and by the time they arrived at Wangshan Rock, Lao Zhang was already out of breath.

"Uncle Zhang, let's not wear protective clothing tomorrow, these five or six pounds of things are not a joke." Lin Yi said nonchalantly, "You see we all have shotguns in our hands, if there is really something, wouldn't it be over with a shot?" ”

"No, you have to put it on." Lao Zhang said with a serious face, even if he was out of breath, "The sneak attack of the beasts in the mountains and forests is not a joke, you may still have a chance to shoot with protective clothing, but if you don't bring it, you may not even have a chance to shoot." Although this thing is heavy and usually uncomfortable, it can save lives at critical moments. ”

"That's okay, Uncle Zhang, let's take the protective suit with you." Xiao Lin thought about it and still felt a little disappreciative in his heart, but he promised to be diligent, Lao Zhang rarely spoke seriously, once he spoke so seriously, it means that this matter is very important, and the most important thing is that this is likely to be Lao Zhang's personal experience, because once Lin Yi found a terrifying scar on Lao Zhang's chest.

As the days passed, Lao Zhang and Lin Yi had been patrolling with protective clothing for thirteen days, and they didn't find any fierce beasts, and their nerves slowly relaxed. A big incident happened while patrolling today: Lao Zhang's foot was twisted. Indeed, this is the most serious accident that has occurred in the last two years, and the last incident of the same level was two years ago when Lin Yi fell and broke his head. There was no way, Lin Yihao carried Lao Zhang down the mountain step by step.

"It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down. . . ." Lin Yi said weakly to Lao Zhang.

"Alas, people still have to serve the old, Xiaolin, you let me down, I feel better, I should be able to go." Lao Zhang said to Xiao Lin very embarrassed.

"Forget it, it's coming soon, it's not bad for a while" Lin Yiyi looked at Lao Zhang's pale face and knew that it should still be very painful, after all, even if a young man has a serious sprain, he can't walk, let alone a fifty-year-old man. Gritted his teeth, looked at the rest place not far away, and continued to carry Lao Zhang step by step.

After a lot of hard work, he finally arrived at the rest place before the sun set, Lin Yi put Lao Zhang on the bed and sat on the ground panting, and after a while, Lin Yi ate something to find medicine for Lao Zhang.

"Uncle Zhang, do you know where to put Yunnan Baiyao? I can't find it" Lin Yi looked puzzled, the two of them don't usually use up medicine, they shouldn't run out.

"It seems to be used up, didn't you give it to Lao Sun when you didn't come over last time?" Lao Zhang thought for a while and reminded, as soon as he reminded Lin Yi, he remembered that last time a mountain man injured his hand, he gave Yunnan Baiyao to the mountain man, after all, it was a little far away from the village, and it would be very troublesome for the mountain people to go back and deal with the wound, so he gave it to him. I was expecting supplies to come in two days, but I didn't expect to run into this.

"Uncle Zhang, then you wait, I'll go to the village to get you some medicine." Xiao Lin said to Uncle Zhang, the mountain people's village is not too far from here, it takes about forty minutes to walk, and if the sprain is not treated in time, it may cause edema, and it will not be able to get off the ground for a few days, and if it is more serious, it may hurt the tendons and veins of the footsteps, so Lin Yi is still ready to ask for medicine.

"It's going to be dark soon, don't go today, I'm not in the way, it's not safe to walk at night." Lao Zhang persuaded that it was common sense not to walk the forest at night.

"No, Uncle Zhang, if you don't treat your foot injury, it's very troublesome, it's okay Uncle Zhang, I haven't walked at night, I'm wearing a panther and protective clothing." Lin Yi didn't wait for Lao Zhang to speak, and walked out with the panther, Lao Zhang wanted to speak but found that Lin Yi was walking quickly, and knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't persuade him to go. It's not the first time I've walked at night, nothing has happened.

Lin Yi walked quickly with the black panther, and walked to the town of the mountain people in about half an hour, and after explaining his intentions, he got the medicine, which was all synthesized from herbs, and the smell was not good, but it did have a miraculous effect on bruises. When Lin Yi walked back, it was already dark, so he hung the medicine in the back pocket of the black panther, held a flashlight himself, and pinned the knife given to him by the mountain people on his waist, he didn't want it, but Lao Sun Fei said that the gun in the forest is easy to use, and he is alone, it is better to bring a knife. The mountain people's knives look simple, but the quality is not to be said, Lin Yi thought about what they said made sense, so he didn't refuse. Halfway through, it was already completely dark, and to be honest, Lin Yi was still a little panicked when he walked alone at night. So his flashlight was pinned to his shoulder, and the shotgun in his hand was loaded, so he was much more courageous, and he was not very afraid of the presence of the panther. After walking for a while, the black panther suddenly bent down, his forelimbs were close to the ground, and his mouth made a whining sound, indicating that there was something in front of him, Lin Yi's spirit was tense to the tightest in an instant, and at the same time he squatted down slightly, lowered his legs, one leg in front and one leg behind, and at the same time the shoulder on the shotgun stand pointed in the direction of the black panther's head finger. "It won't be so unlucky." Lin Yi said secretly, thinking about it, but his spirit did not relax at all, and the unknown creature began to confront him, and the sound of the unknown creature in the low bushes should be the unknown creature moving, Lin Yi slowly turned the muzzle of the gun with the direction of the sound, and sweat slowly oozing out from his forehead, he knew that this was a beast that was slowly consuming his energy by circling with it, and he must not shoot at this time, because the specific direction and accuracy could not be determined, once the shot missed, the beast would attack in a few seconds after the shot, During this time, people can't react, now they can only fight patience, it is obvious that this beast does not have good patience, and after about half a minute, the voice approached quickly, Lin Yi's spirit was unprecedentedly concentrated at this moment, when his sight caught a black shadow jumping high, Lin Yiyi instantly lay on the ground, and shot fiercely in the direction of the black shadow, and then the firelight He saw the appearance of a monster, with limbs, no fur, a smooth body, fangs, a white belly, and the rest of the body was green.

"What is this?" For a moment, this question flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but it didn't matter, he had already hit the monster, and he even clearly saw the steel ball entering the monster's body, the blood scattered by the monster, and the screams and the whine of the black panther biting behind. As he was about to look closer, there was a sudden movement behind him.
