"You may not remember the road, you have forgotten how you got out of the village. But it doesn't matter, the moon is big tonight and the stars are shining. ”

The old man took Zhang Liu to a hill, and heard her say that this is the highest peak of this forest.

"You can see the whole forest as it is, and I'm not dizzy, so I can show it to you.

"If you want to go to Shuixi, you have to go west, but we in the Gawa Forest, we can only go east to find the exit. The rest of the place is a primeval forest where the direction is unclear. And if you go down the river, you'll be trapped in the woods. ”

The old man took Zhang Liu's hand and pointed to the east, "Once, our warriors went out from here and followed Madame Musk to attack the Li family, and later, our warriors also went out from here to follow the An family and attack the Ming Dynasty.

"During the Qing Dynasty, we also went out from the east to fight the French army in Vietnam.

"During the Republic of China, we still went out from the east and destroyed the Qing court.

"You have to remember that after I die, you are the only one who can go to the mouth of the forest and call everyone home. There are still a lot of dead souls who died in the war, and those who can come back have already returned, and those I can call back have also returned, but there are still many dead souls of our predecessors who are still wandering outside. They are so bewildered by the outside world that they can't find their way home. All of this will have to be handed over to you in the future. ”

Zhang Liu stood next to him and couldn't hear why, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

It seems that this Gawa Forest, which side tribe of Shuixi Tusi used to be, has been following Shuixi to fight in all directions.

I don't know if I don't know, the last time the Shuixi army appeared was the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, there were indeed many ethnic minority tribes in Guizhou who followed Liu Mingchuan and other generals to launch several Weiqing wars, and in the battles against foreign countries, their combat achievements were comparable to those of the Hunan army and the Huai army, and their later conditions, although not as tragic and tragic as the Hunan army, could also sing and cry.

But it is such an army, which has always existed as the private soldier of a certain general, and has never had a number, so there are very few people who can remember it in later generations.

This forest is inhabited by the descendants of this army.

But overnight, it was killed by wolves.

"Don't cry, child." The old grandmother smiled and said, "Life and death are never terrible for us. But to die such a wretched...... What a shame for our ancestors...... Live and keep an incense stick. Do you see clearly? ”

Zhang Liu wasn't crying at all, he was at a loss when he heard it, but he actually didn't feel good in his heart.

He can empathize with the fact that his own family is dead.

This kind of thing, in the first place, is not a good thing.

Dead people are a very bad thing.

Zhang Liu nodded, inheriting the incense is the most important responsibility of a person.

He looked at his body, and it seemed that he was not only going to live for his Zhang family, but also for a village.

"Do you remember clearly?" The old woman pointed to the east, "Just keep going east." ”

Zhang Liu nodded again.

"Go down the mountain." The old grandmother grabbed Zhang Liu's shirt and led him down the mountain to the east, "I'm going to meet the old monster." ”

——

The small head wolf, led by a large wolf that was a circle larger than it, came to the river.

The head wolf smelled the smell of blood from afar.

However, the smell of dead corpses of the same kind makes it equally painful.

It didn't move on, but walked restlessly in place for a few laps.

The big wolf glanced back at it, and the other wolves continued to the wolfskin.

The fur-headed wolf stopped, glanced at the wolfskin, and then lay down on the ground, whimpering lowly.

The big wolf stepped forward, scratched on the wolf's skin, and the human heads rolled out with a grunt.

The big wolf lowered his head and sniffed, then howled excitedly.

The old woman three kilometers away stopped, turned her head sideways and listened carefully, "Is it going to keep its promise?" So familiar sound? ”

Zhang Liu stood nervously behind the old woman.

The old man patted Zhang Liu's hand, "This is what we have always agreed with the wolf, if in winter, the wolf can't stand the hunger and sneaks up on the cattle and sheep we raise."

"The men of our village will go out together to find the timberwolf that likes to hang out alone, and beat it to death with a stick! Then the wolf's skin was cut, filled with meat, and thrown at the place where it died.

"When the other wolves see it, they tell the head wolf, and the head wolf knows, oh, they have committed a foul, and some of their kind have been taught, and they eat the meat.

"Then we will throw the leftover flesh, bones, and offal, and throw them there every evening, so that they don't starve to death, which is equivalent to telling them that you are wasting food by eating our animals like this, and in the end we will not live, and they will not survive.

"If we eat the rest and give it to them, we can make good use of the animals.

"There are no such rules in the outside world, we are the only one. The howl it just now seemed to be about to keep the promise? ”

The old lady looked expectantly in the direction she came.

Soon, wolf howls were heard everywhere in the forest.

Zhang Liu pushed the old grandmother, meaning to ask, what does this mean?

The old grandmother didn't speak, but the joy on her face disappeared, and she pulled Zhang Liu to continue walking.

Then, a huge explosion sounded three kilometers behind him.

"It's punishment!" The old grandmother said angrily, "This is a punishment for unruliness!" I've gathered all the gunpowder in the village, and with the herbs on my body, those stupid wolves can't smell gunpowder! ”

Zhang Liu looked back at the fire behind him step by step.

The old grandmother pulled him hard, "What do you see?" They don't follow the rules of winter! These murderous demons! They rejected me! Can't blame me for blowing them up! It's punishment! The rules are useless! No one has to follow the rules! ”

The old woman suddenly stopped, turned around, and pointed in the direction behind her, "Then no one has to follow the rules!" You're here to kill me! I'm going to find a way to get you guys too! It's a big deal. ”

The old grandmother took Zhang Liu's hand, "We still have offspring, you unruly beasts will not have offspring!" You don't have long to live! You can't get forgiveness from humanity! Unruly wolves don't get the respect of humans! You can't live! Head wolf! You're so stupid! ”

The old grandmother's face turned red with excitement, coughed vigorously a few times, and put her hand on her back, ** herself, so that she could be a little smoother.

Zhang Liu hesitated for a moment and slapped his elbow on the grandmother's back a few times.
