Chapter 200: Overnight in the Mountains
Shanchangtun, although it is also under the jurisdiction of Changtu Prefecture, is also very remote, it is in the territory of Liaoyuan Sanzhou, which can be regarded as a poor mountain and bad water.
He is actually not far from Liaoyuan City, but the population really cannot be said to be luxuriant. A few pieces of farmland were carved out around Tunzi like dogs, and the rest was a large area of barren mountains and mountains. There are more than 100 households in the tunzi, and nine out of ten are still mud-tired and straw houses.
Not far to the north of Shanchangtun, that is the old forest. There are many legends about this forest, but they are only legends. It's mostly a story of some adults scaring children, similar to the old monster in this forest, if you don't sleep well, the old monster will come out and eat you. It's said that it's an adult, and a little older kids don't believe it.
But a few months ago, things started to change - the forest started eating people!
Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. The land in this tun is owned by the landlord, and most of the tenants who live in this tun are tenants, and a lot of the grain grown is used to pay rent every year. But we still have to eat, what should we do? Picking mountain goods has become another way for Shanchangtun residents to live. Every family has a dog that can chase rabbits and pheasants, and everyone knows all kinds of mushrooms and wild fruits.
But the first to disappear was not the person who picked the mountain goods, but a little sheepherd in this tun. He went out early in the morning with eight sheep, and in the evening he came back by himself, but the man was gone. The landlord doesn't care about this, as long as the eight sheep are safe and sound. But the child's parents were anxious, and they said, "Is there any sudden illness with the child, or has he encountered some wild beast?" So he mobilized the people in the village to search for it overnight, and after three days of searching to no avail, the child's parents accepted their fate and set up a well-dressed mound, which was regarded as the tomb of his son.
At this point, people must not be afraid. It was just an accident, and although there were many guesses, no one except the parents of the little shepherd had taken it to heart. The land that should be planted, the land that should be hunted, and the mushroom that should be picked, go and pick mushrooms in the same way.
But after a few days, someone didn't come back - this time it was a mountain picker who disappeared. The family was deep in the woods, and they found the bag he carried when he entered the woods, but they didn't find him. The bag was placed there in an orderly manner, the rope of the seal was still tightly tied, and there was no mess around, as if a big living person had walked here, thrown down the mountain goods he had worked so hard to pick, and never returned.
At this moment, some people felt that something was not quite right, how did this forest start to be evil? Find a gentleman who can pinch and do the math to show us. So the villagers scraped together some money and invited a gentleman from Liaoyuan City. This gentleman is right, there is a strange python in the forest that has cultivated to perfection, but he does not keep his duty and hurts people. The little shepherd and the one who went into the mountains to collect goods were taken away by this strange python!
Ah! How good is that? Mr. said that this strange python has high mana, and he is not 100% sure that he can kill demons. But if you don't make a move, we are even more helpless, do you want to let this strange python meat?
There was no other way, and the people in the tunzi gathered a lot of money and handed it over to Mr., begging Mr. to help. The gentleman really couldn't shirk it, so he reluctantly accepted the money, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and left a sentence of "If I don't come back, don't look for anyone else", and the guide from the same village also entered the forest.
Before the gentleman went in, he explained that it would take an hour or two, and the slow one would drag on for a day or two. But ten days and half a month have passed, not to mention the gentleman, and the people in the tunzi who went with him have not been heard from, and no one has been seen alive or dead. The dog that went with them came back from the woods on his own.
The dog was supposed to be a fish in water in the well-fed forest, but now it was so thin that it was not looking good, and the flesh on its face was missing, and it had rotted and grown. The dog that came back did not survive the day, it lay in front of the old owner of the original house, wailing for half the night, so frightened that the other dogs in the tun did not dare to bark. When it was silent, the occupant opened the door and checked, only to find that it had swallowed its breath.
For a while, people in Tunzi were panicked.
Things are full of evil, and even the gentleman invited from Liaoyuan City can't look at it well, I'm afraid that anyone will have no problem with this matter. I'm also forced to have no choice, I can't provoke you, can't I hide from you? The people in the tunzi restrained their children and did not go into the forest to the north. The hunters and the hunters did not run in. If you want to make a living, you can walk another twenty-five miles to the west, and you can still hunt and pick mountain goods, which is nothing more than hard work, but there is no worry about your life.
After a long time, there are always people who are alive in their hearts. It is said that there is a strange python in this forest, but at the beginning, this is just the words of the gentleman's family, although he said it well, but others have not seen what this strange python looks like. Why is what he says? Walking an extra twenty-five miles means spending the night in the mountains, which is also a very dangerous thing. If you don't get it right, you didn't die in the hands of the monster, and you made the big bear blind lick his face, and it was not comfortable!
What's more, months have passed, and the monster has not been able to feed in the forest, so it may have moved. Besides, before the gentleman came, there were not fifty or thirty people who entered the forest, but he lost two people, why did he have such an inch?
So there were really people who were willing to risk their lives, so they took a few companions, took three or four good dogs, and threw themselves into the forest again. Not to mention that the people didn't come back, even the dogs were gone!
This time, this forest that doesn't even have a name is notorious, not to mention Shanchangtun, the surrounding ten miles and eight towns know the evil nature of this place, and no one dares to drill into it.
But things in the world are so surprisingly bubbling with twists and turns. It's been three or four months since the last time people and dogs were gone, and three people came to Shanchangtun, two men and one woman, all fourteen or fifteen years old, and the clothes on their bodies were much better than those of the people in this tun. There was even one of them who wore a dress, and he didn't even wear braids!
Men don't wear braids, that's the sin of exterminating the nine clans, how have the people in the tunzi seen this? Beat them into the tunzi, and the eyes of the tunli people can't leave them. But none of them dared to move forward, who knows what they were doing?
Among them, there was a tiger-headed offspring, who was also very stunned, and found one of the few brick houses in the tunzi and opened the door, saying that he wanted to spend the night. The shot was also very generous, and he gave it directly to the family, fifty cents.
People say in their hearts, what a big wrong! Who to live in or not to live? That's how they were arranged. The words that came out immediately afterwards were terrifying—the three descendants had to find someone to take them into the forest, not to go around the edge of the forest, but to the depths of the forest.
Who the fuck dares? There are indeed experienced old hunters here, and there are good dogs who are familiar with the mountains and forests, but there is such evil nature in this forest now, no one wants to have their lives to earn money and not to spend money. Even if this young man opened the price to two cents, no one dared to respond!
"There must be a brave man under the heavy reward," Huzi said indignantly, "I still don't believe it, some people can't get along with money!" Tomorrow, I will open the price code to three dollars, three dollars will not work on five dollars, I see if anyone is willing to take us into the forest! ”
These three young people are not outsiders, they are Huzi, Zhao Yueyue, and Tachibana Jinze. When he was in the Sanqingguan of Tiesha Mountain, Tachibana Kanazawa invited Huzi to go to an evil place to find out and kill demons. Although Huzi readily agreed, after returning, he was worried about it and was unable to make the trip. It wasn't until he cut off Huang Xuewen's head with a knife that he went to find Tachibana Kanazawa again, saying that they could go together.
Zhao Yueyue was a dead beggar who had to come with her, Huzi was originally reluctant, and he more or less looked down on Zhao Yueyue's ability. Zhao Yueyue is young now, and she hasn't been in contact with Ma Xian for too long, and she hasn't accumulated much Taoism at all. But Huzi still owes Huang Yatou a favor, and it is difficult to refuse, so he can only agree, but he also made three chapters of the covenant with her. First, when you go out, you must listen to his command, and you must not make decisions without authorization...... I didn't think about the remaining two, so I'll talk about it later.
In the forests of Sun Mountain, Huzi and Zhao Yueyue are rolling in it all year round. But one place and one style, being able to pass unimpeded on Sun Mountain does not mean that they can also play in the forests of Shanchangtun. That's why he was in a hurry to find a guide.
Na Cheng thought, the people in this tun were really frightened, and when they got a high price of two dollars of silver, no one was willing to take them in. That's why Huzi said this.
"Little Tiger, don't make trouble!" Zhao Yueyue pulled Huzi and persuaded her, "There's nothing wrong with people sparing their lives." But you, you're really not afraid of being wronged, and you can say that you can afford five dollars of silver, so how long do you have to earn? Although this is the first time we have entered this forest, I am also a horse fairy, and my brother Ma explores the way, so I can't get lost in this forest after all. ”
"Yueyue is right," Tachibana Kanazawa interjected, still smiling, "It's really not good, and my Shikigami will keep us safe." The problem here was discovered by my Shikigami from the beginning, and they will be more or less familiar with this place and will not get lost. ”
Tell them to persuade a few words. Huzi also waved his hand impatiently and said, "Whatever!" Otherwise, there would be no better way. The woods were foggy and gloomy, and I had to hire a local guide because I was afraid that something would go wrong. If it's really just a path, the immortal family on the Yueyue Hall, and the god of Tachibana Kanazawa, are better choices...... Forget it, it's getting late, let's sleep, right? ”
Tachibana Kanazawa was stunned: "How do you sleep?" ”
Huzi hugged someone else's futon and went to the kang and said, "Just sleep like this!" Let's take care of the yellow girl, let her sleep on the kang, let's sleep on the kang. ”
The smile on Tachibana Kanazawa's face froze: "Yueyue and we sleep together?" ”
Zhao Yueyue laughed and quipped: "I haven't said anything yet, why are you afraid?" Afraid that I won't be able to eat you? The small family is not so particular, and my father and mother still sleep on the same kang with me! ”
Tachibana Kanazawa smiled bitterly, and also accepted his fate.
The night was dark, and the three of them had a good dream, and outside their door, the sharp knife was cold!
