Chapter 140: Natural Selection

The old man thought for a while and said: "Six, when the old man arrived, they had been bitten by the wolves, and they really couldn't be saved, but in order to prevent them from becoming lonely ghosts here, the old man pointed them out a way to the ghost gate. ”

Sure enough, it was Xia Bo and them, and I was suddenly a little lost in my heart, thinking about their reluctant backs when they left, I don't know whether I can't give up a few of us, or I can't bear this world.

"The rest of the survivors have already left here?" I asked, relieved.

The old man nodded desperately and said, "All of them are out, and there is no one left." ”

"Isn't that right?"

I bared my teeth and said, "Isn't there a fat little man who got lost with them?" ”

I still haven't figured out what Wang Hao was going on, it stands to reason that since there is a grass king to shoot those mandrill ghosts or something, it shouldn't have been a haunt for him, but he was fine at the beginning, and suddenly he was like a sheep going crazy, and he put a cold gun in his mother's back and almost killed a few of us, this matter must be clarified, because if we exclude the mandrills, I'm afraid that our biggest enemy has been lurking in the dark, and can appear at any time to give us a fatal blow.

The old man knelt on the ground and thought about it, but he still shook his head and said, "No, there are no fewer of those who were rescued by me, all of them were watched by me, and I didn't see the little fat man you said." ”

I looked at the old man who didn't look like he was lying, bared my teeth and thought back to what happened that night, and I didn't come up with anything famous, thinking of what Liu Sanshou said about the Grass King patrolling the mountains, looking at this old man a little curious, I couldn't help asking: "How long have you lived?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned white, and he looked at me with frightened eyes, and said tremblingly: "I don't know, I just remember that there was no one at the bottom of the mountain when I first went down the mountain, and after a while, I went down, but suddenly there were many people building houses and palaces here, and after that, a large group of people would come to live in the autumn every year, and then hunt in the mountains and forests, and I also showed them the way at that time, but that group of people has not come for a long time, and I don't know what happened, it should be dead." ”

The old man's tone suddenly began to be a little lonely at the end, I looked at him a little unbearable, it is estimated that the first time he went down the mountain, he should have been in time for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the customs, and then the Manchus won the world, and returned here to build a palace, and returned here every year in the autumn to hunt, but they died early in the morning, and the bodies of those people turned into a pile of corpses, and they would never come back.

Looking at the old man's stunned face, I sighed softly and said, "So, you really have never done anything bad?" ”

When the old man heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, stared at my face full of longing, I shook my head helplessly and said: "But I have a friend who is very seriously injured now, except for you, there is no cure, she is very important to me, I would rather die by myself than watch her die, so, do you understand?" ”

The old man's face began to become a little desperate from full hope, his body softened and fell to the ground, his ruddy face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were no longer focused, his eyes were lowered to the ground, and he muttered, "I know." ”

After speaking, he looked up at the sky, sighed long, and said with a wry smile: "Who would have expected in this life, the heart is in the Tianshan Mountains, the old Cangzhou, no matter what, the old man has lived enough for so many years, always watching the children and grandchildren around him turn into a touch of dust, and there are a wave of people who can no longer go up the mountain, and it is boring to live alone for a long time, I will go with you, use my hundred years of essence to save a life, it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end, I hope that when I am reincarnated, the Buddha can see my good heart, and let me really be a person in the next life!" ”

As he spoke, his head suddenly sank, and the whole person suddenly lost his vitality, and then under the gaze, it gradually shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, the body shrank rapidly, the limbs became rhizomes, the bright brain turned into a reed, and the long beard evolved into a strip of roots growing on the reed, turning into a real thousand-year-old ginseng.

Looking at the king of herbs lying quietly on the ground, a sudden violent colic in my heart made me can't help but close my eyes, natural selection, survival of the fittest, how many living beings can't escape this cruel law in their lifetime.

As Liu Sanshou said, this is the way, others kill pigs and I eat meat, but when it is my turn to kill pigs but cry like a girl, this is the act of deceiving yourself, follow the rules of survival, and go with the flow, so that you can climb to the top of the biological chain step by step, and not fall into the belly of others.

I took a deep breath, bent down to pick up the grass king on the ground, looked at the vivid human face on the reed, gritted my teeth, turned around and walked out of the wolves, and saw Liu Sanshou with a surprised face running up to me and saying, "It's done?" ”

I nodded, took the Grass King to him and said, "Is there any problem?" ”

Liu Sanshou's excited hands trembled a little, and he took the Grass King tremblingly, squinted his eyes and carefully studied it for a quarter of an hour before handing it back to me and said: "This Grass King is more than a hundred times stronger than the one that Mrs. Huo took at that time, Sister Yu's injury will definitely be cured, and it will even be better than before!" ”

I sighed softly, took the Grass King in my hand, hesitated, and asked, "Is this Grass King certain to die then?" ”

Liu Sanshou looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "How can there be a reason to survive if you boil it into medicine?" ”

"Okay, I see."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked around, and found that he didn't find the shadow of the wolf demon, so he looked at the wolf king again and said, "It asked you to come?" ”

The wolf king nodded, but his eyes had been on Liu Sanshou's body and never left, I couldn't help but look at him curiously again, only to find that the six-grade ghost cover was still pinched in his hand, and suddenly thought of the dying wolf cub, so I looked at the wolf king and wondered: "You want to use it to save your son's life?" ”

The wolf king couldn't speak, but the urgency in his eyes made me couldn't help but be moved.

Liu Sanshou also understood the situation in front of him, and said with some reluctance: "This is the best ghost cover second only to the thousand-year-old ginseng, its value is immeasurable, and the effect on the wolf cub is not very great, you see ......"

I shook my head and took the six-grade ghost cover in my hand, and said, "Hasn't the matter of Yujia Temple taught you not to be too greedy?" ”

As he spoke, he threw the ghost cover to the wolf king, and said, "Thank you!" ”

The wolf king took the ghost cover in his mouth, glanced at me, turned and disappeared into the darkness, and the rest of the wolves scattered.

I watched the night devouring the mountains and forests little by little, and the touch of the king of herbs came from my hand, and I was a little panicked for a while, and after taking a few breaths, I said to them, "Go back early." ”

The three of them walked back along the road they came, and when they came to the place where they found the key to opening the mountain, it was basically dark, and they wanted to rest here for a night before leaving, but when they thought of the strange Wang Hao and the mysterious person who put a cold gun in the back, they didn't dare to delay for a minute, and followed the mark on the tree, so they walked back overnight.

Xiaosu walked at night, and it was not until the third day that he found a way out of this mountain, and when he came to the small cabin where Liu Sanshou lived, everyone's faces were relaxed, and they sat in the ventilated room on both sides and gasped for breath, but before the buttocks were hot, they saw Liu Sanshou crying out in confusion: "No, it seems that someone has come." ”

The hearts of the two of us, who had not yet been relieved, were lifted again, and we stared around nervously, but looking at the layout of the room that had been stirred up beyond recognition that night, I don't know how Liu Sanshou could see that someone had come.

Liu Sanshou frowned and searched the house for a long time, and finally came to us and said, "Why is the jar of meat I stewed missing?" ”

After listening to this, I almost scolded my mother, gritted my teeth and said, "Maybe it's a hunter who went up the mountain or a gang member who didn't have anything to eat, and I happened to pass by here and saw your jar of meat and the pot with the meat taken away, what's so strange about this." ”

Liu Sanshou shook his head and said no, hurry up, there is an ambush here! ()
