Li Huaishan led the team to avoid the river that ran through the forest, and went deep along the dry road, saying that it was a dry road, but because of a heavy rain just now, the soil became soft and damp, and it was very difficult to walk.

In the middle of the process, I removed the contact lens that was pressed against my left eye to try to make the vision of Qihai quicksand clearer.

The Great Qi flowed, and the scenery within a radius of hundreds of meters was in full view, and the stalker never appeared, which gave me the illusion that these people only appeared in my mind, and did not exist in reality.

Fortunately, my mind has not been disturbed by the humid and sultry climate, and I know that someone will definitely follow this operation, otherwise I can't explain why there are rumors of immortal Gu in Mangshi.

Now I am more and more suspicious of Dan Tuo's identity, among all people, only his details are beyond my comprehension, and no one can say whether there is a connection between this descending master who has lived in Myanmar for decades and Buzhou Mountain.

Or maybe the stalker lurking in my head is him.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the rain finally stopped, the dark clouds in the night sky gradually dispersed, and a bent tooth moon had already hung in the eastern sky.

When passing through a relatively gentle hill, Jin Xiangqian found several rabbit nests near a small mound, Boss Yu threw a bright silver tissue paper into the hole, and it didn't take long for a big fluffy rabbit to rush out along the hole, Boss Wen immediately got started, an arrow stepped forward, shot like lightning, and caught the rabbit ears on the spot, and then Boss Jiang ran over and used Gu to poison the rabbit.

Looks like we'll be able to get another bite of hot meat tonight.

There are a lot of rabbit nests near the mound, and occasionally you can come across empty ones, but most of the caves are stocked, and Boss Yu and they tossed for more than half an hour, and they caught eight or nine, which is enough for us to open a meat shop.

Fortunately, since the change in my physique, my appetite is not as scary as it used to be, otherwise, these eight or nine rabbits are not enough for me to feed alone.

Jin Xiangqian walked up to me with two rabbits and grinned at me, "Tonight, I'm going to make you roast rabbit meat to eat." ”

In addition to the two in his hands, there are also a few faint gray rabbits hanging on his back and waist, fluffy all over his body, plus the weather is hot, his image makes people sweat just by looking at it.

Just as Jin was yelling at me, Boss Jiang came over and said to me, "It's not right. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?" ”

Boss Jiang said: "Hares don't like to live in groups, and they have a strong sense of territory, but there are so many rabbit holes on such a small mound, which is not a common thing." ”

I heard Dan Tuo say on the side: "Savage Mountain is like this, and it is reasonable to be unreasonable in this place." Walk a little further, you will reach the Luo River area, now it is the flood season again, the wild beasts near the river in order to avoid danger, all will retreat here, these rabbits, it is estimated that they are all from the Luo River. ”

After saying this, Dan Tuo turned his head and said to me: "Little Second Master, while the rain stops, let's stop and slow down, and when we enter the Luohe circle, we can't stop." ”

From entering the mountain to the present, it is not the first time that Dantuo has called me the second master, it sounded awkward at the beginning, but he called a lot, and I gradually got used to it.

I first raised my chin in front of Jin and asked him to take out the map, and then asked Dantuo, "What is the Luohe Circle?" ”

Before Dantuo could speak, Li Huaishan said: "I have seen the map, and there is no river in front. ”

Only then did Dan Tuo speak: "The Luo River is not a river, but a general term for more than 30 streams, and those streams form a large water network in the mountains and forests in front of them, and the land that is enclosed by the water network is the Luo River Circle. That place was the most dangerous place in the outer three layers of Savage Mountain, especially at night, when poisonous insects and wild people came out to move, it was difficult to move an inch. ”

Boss Wen also chimed in: "Yes, the saying that all the outer mountains of Savage Mountain do not rush to the night is because there are often wild people in the Luohe Circle. ”

At this time, Jin Xiangqian brought the map, Li Huaishan leaned over and looked at it twice, and shook his head helplessly: "There is no flat place ahead, so you can only camp on the spot." ”

I asked Jin Xiangqian: "The last time Dawei and they entered the mountain, where did they camp in?" ”

Jin Qianqian looked at the map carefully and said, "They walked quite deep, as if they were ...... It's a camp here. ”

As he spoke, Jin Xiangqian also pointed to the map.

The location of his finger is the gap between two mountains, and there is a river nearby, at first glance, that place is indeed a good place to camp, even if you make a fire to cook, the cooking smoke will be blocked by the mountain, and it is not easy to be detected by the people who follow it, plus there is a water source nearby, and it is estimated that there are fish in the water, which can replenish food for the team.

But judging from the Qi field, half of the place is covered by the mountains, half is by the water, the yin qi is rushing to the sun, and it is difficult for the Qi to pass, and it is a dark place that is easy to attract evil spirits, and I estimate that Dawei and the others may have encountered ghosts on the night of the camp, so they had to evacuate the mountains in advance.

I glanced at the map and said to Li Huaishan, "Then let's camp in place." ”

Li Huaishan immediately took out the things used to make a fire from his backpack, found a piece of land without grass and trees, and lit a fire on the ground with Jin Xiangqian, and when the ground was almost dry, I went to the forest to pick up branches and leaves, and everyone worked together to build a grass hut on the dry land that could block the rain.

This time, we brought tents with us, but after the jungle was watered by heavy rain, the moisture on the ground was too heavy, and if several tents were set up at the same time, it would take up a large area of space, and I didn't know how many fires to need to dry such a large piece of soil.

At the moment, a shed made of branches and leaves is far more useful than the marching tent we have brought.

The others spread out their sleeping bags in the shed, and Jin Xiangqian set up a fire near the shed, where he roasted rabbits for us, and Dan Tuo was the first to pack up, so he went out of the shed and sat on the ground to watch Jin Xiangqian work alone.

I felt in my pocket and pulled out a cigarette bag that had been soaked in the rain, and when I entered the mountain, I was soaking wet, and the cigarettes in my pocket were not spared, and I looked at it repeatedly, and each cigarette was pickled into a pickle, and I couldn't smoke it at all.

Li Huaishan took out a box of cigarettes from his backpack and handed it to me along with a lighter, I took the cigarette and the man, smiled at him, and then took a step and walked to Dantuo's side.

When Danto heard the footsteps, he turned his head to see that I had lit a cigarette for myself and handed him the cigarette case lighter.

Danto looked a little surprised: "How do you know I smoke?" ”

I smiled: "When I first saw you, I smelled the smell of tobacco on your body, and I know that you usually smoke dry tobacco, and I don't know if you can smoke cigarettes." ”

Dantuo lit a cigarette and spit out a large puff of cloud mist comfortably, before he spoke: "Everyone in the old family has a good nose. ”

I came to him, found a dry ground and sat down, and asked him, "What's the situation over there in Luohequan?" ”

Dan Tuo exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "It's okay to say that the poisonous insects in Luohe Circle are still far away from the Gu Nest, and the poison on the insects is not strong. The most troublesome thing is the savages, these guys were born in the mountains, grew up in the mountains, and have a very thorough understanding of the Luohe Circle, and they are very difficult to deal with. ”

At this time, Li Huaishan also got out of the shed, took a cigarette from Dan Tuo's hand, and said: "What is a wild man, is it a person who lives in the mountains?" ”

Danto gestured with his hand and said: "They say that they are people, but they are not like people, they have black hair on their bodies, they look like orangutans from a distance, and when they look closely, they look like people." I saw it once when I followed Master into the mountains before, and I remember that Luo He Yeren's body was very short, but his arms and legs seemed to be very long, yes, thin and long, and his palms and soles were very large. ”

Listening to Dantuo's description, I couldn't help frowning: "With long hair on his body, big hands and feet, and slender arms, isn't this a dwarf mule?" ”

Dantuo shook his head: "I know the dwarf mule, the tallest thing is as tall as a person's waist, but the savages here are different, the shorter ones are also one meter six, one meter seven, and the height can reach two meters." Moreover, the dwarf mule has a spirit rhyme, which can be regarded as a kind of spirit animal, and the Luohe savages are a group of beasts that drink blood. ”

I nodded, didn't say anything more, just sat on the floor, silently smoking a cigarette.

Li Huaishan and Dan Tuo chatted with each other, and the two of them were gossiping, but I could hear that Li Huaishan wanted to talk from Dan Tuo's mouth.

During this period, Dan Tuo talked about some old stories about the wild people of Luohe, because after too long, I don't remember most of the things he said, but I haven't forgotten them all.

At that time, Dantuo once talked about the savage firewood, which reminded me of the rumors about dwarf mules in Guizhou.

The so-called savage firewood is the firewood cut by savages. It is said that in the forties and fifties of the last century, there are several small tribes in the Luohe circle, because every summer, the mountains become cloudy and rainy, so the people in the tribe are used to store firewood in the dry season, in case the rainy season can not make a fire, it is said that the people at that time should be particularly careful when they go into the mountains to cut firewood, all the trees with a fishy smell near the roots can not be cut, these fishy smells come from the body fluids left by the savages, as long as this smell appears, it means that the trees have been occupied by the savages, once the locals cut down these trees, there will be bad luck.

Legend has it that sometimes the savages will transfer and cut down some firewood, tie it up with Ma Teng, and put it neatly in the open space around the forest, these firewood they don't use themselves, and use it to bewitch the firewood into the mountain, if the firewood is taken back to the tribe in order to save effort, within seven days, the women in the tribe will disappear for no reason.

If seven days have passed, and none of the women of the tribe have disappeared, on the eighth day, the people of the tribe will get a strange disease, which at first will be itchy all over the body, and within an hour the limbs will be paralyzed, and they will be paralyzed on the ground, and wait for the sun to rise the next morning, and when the sun spreads over the earth, they will naturally dispel the strange disease.
