Episode 2 The Horror of the Shadows
As the sun set and night fell, a group of people and a large black mastiff walked among the wild trees and weeds on the mountain road.
Last time, I mentioned Cuiyun, a girl from Zhang Orion's family in Cishan Village, and after finding Chen Xiaofeng, an old real person, she described her father and uncle because the family had no food. Originally a hunter, my father took his brother to hunt in the mountains, hoping to catch some wild animals such as hares and roe deer that could be used as rations.
But now that the New Year is approaching, Cuiyun's father and uncle went to the mountains, and they still haven't heard from him for three days. Cuiyun went to the old man to come forward to save people, because Cuiyun's father and uncle were chasing wild beasts and entered the marsh forest deep in the mountains.
This place used to be an ancient battlefield in the past, many people died, and deep in the forest is a bottomless swamp, if people fall into it, even if you are a Daluo immortal, you will not be able to escape.
Ordinary villagers usually don't dare to enter this gloomy place, not because they are afraid of the swamp beasts in the forest. is even more afraid of the mountain demons and ghosts between the sparkling ghosts and fires, so this kind of thing is indispensable to find an old man who is the head of Taoism.
However, Lao Zhenren happened to go up the mountain to collect precious herbs this time, and he couldn't come back for ten days and half a month.
Chen Xiaofeng then asked the village chief Uncle Li to borrow five strong militiamen, including the militia captain Ma Dazhuang, and a large mastiff named Heizi from the village chief's family.
Although Chen Xiaofeng himself also knows that with his two-and-a-half kung fu, he can still deal with it when he encounters a ghostly person, if he really encounters something that is a little higher, it is really a bit hanging. But fortunately, there are so many people, and there is such a big hound by his side, so he is a little more courageous.
It means that the bright sun just sets, and the whole mountain is gradually covered in darkness. The primeval jungle, which still looks pleasant during the day, is now added to the gloomy color by the night.
The towering ancient trees around look so weird, like a dryad with teeth and claws, which makes people's scalp feel numb. What's more, there are a few wolf howls and ghost howls in the mountains from time to time, and everyone has goosebumps falling to the ground when they hear it.
Although Cuiyun is a girl who grew up in the mountains, it is not new to enter the mountains at night, but at most, she walks around the cemetery at the end of the village a few times, and she is more daring than those playful wild girls, and it is really the first time she has walked on the mountain around the village.
Cuiyun was pressed to Chen Xiaofeng by the gloomy old infiltration of the primeval jungle at night, which made Chen Xiaofeng embarrassed in front of the militia brothers.
However, Cuiyun is also one of the best girls in the village, although she is not as good as the girls in the city with heavy makeup, but she also has a bit of a classical beauty. Therefore, Chen Xiaofeng, the first handsome guy in the village, also felt blushing and heartbeat, and felt uncomfortable for a while.
Everyone walked in the primeval jungle for a while, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the black clouds overhead had shrouded this generation for more than half a year, and there was no moon or stars to be seen at all.
At this time, Ma Dazhuang, the leader of the militia, proposed to camp on the spot and wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving to look for people. Otherwise, everyone had already left the village far away and entered the primeval jungle area where fierce beasts often haunted the forest, and if they ran into some bears, blind men, jackals and other fierce beasts in the dark, even if they had shotguns in hand, they might not be able to survive.
Because the animal shili is much stronger than the human shili in this dark jungle, you are in the dark in the Ming's house, and you will have to give you a surprise attack, even if you are not completely wiped out, you have to take a few bites. So everyone made up their minds and found a place where the weeds were shallow and built a bonfire.
Before leaving the village, the old village chief took some dry food and mushrooms from home and brought them to Chen Xiaofeng and the others. In this year of great drought, the village chief's family can still have some inventory.
Everyone put the mushrooms in an iron basin and sprinkled them with wild vegetables, wild onions and other ingredients, and there were no seasonings such as salt. However, the wild mushrooms picked in the mountains and the wild onions are really fresh, and the fragrance is estimated to be smelled from more than ten miles away.
Everyone put the dry food they brought on the fire and roasted it, and it tasted different. Then Ma Dazhuang took a cornmeal steamed bun and threw it to the sunspot to eat, this has been a drought for many years, so what meat can be eaten for it.
However, Heizi didn't seem to have opened his eyes to look at the dry food at all, and ran away by himself with a "hum", and the angry Ma Dazhuang scolded: "You dog day things, people don't have enough food to give you to eat, you also put a score on me, love to eat or not, starve you stupid dog." ”
Chen Xiaofeng said: "Okay, Brother Ma, people are not uncommon with your multigrain steamed buns, hurry up and pick them up and let us keep them." ”
Ma Dazhuang picked up the cornmeal steamed bun angrily, sat back on the fire and then chewed the steamed bun with mushroom soup, just after everyone finished eating, and felt a little unfinished, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound in the weeds not far away, which frightened Cuiyun "oops" and threw himself into Chen Xiaofeng's arms, Ma Dazhuang and other militiamen also quickly raised their shotguns at this time, staring nervously at the swinging weeds.
Chen Xiaofeng comforted Cuiyun and pulled out the peachwood sword behind him. Although this peachwood sword cannot be compared to those steel blades, it can also be used in the hands of Taoist descendants, and it can also cut thorns and vines, comparable to steel. It is said that the peachwood sword that has been blessed by Taoist saints is stronger and sharper than a steel knife forged from stainless steel, but whether this is the case or not, we will not mention it for the time being.
It is said that Chen Xiaofeng slowly came to the weeds with a peachwood sword, although he himself felt a little cautious, but there were five shotguns behind him to cover him, and he suddenly felt a lot more relieved when he thought of this.
Just look at Chen Xiaofeng holding a peachwood sword with one arm, ready to use the dick to pluck the grass and see what is inside. At this moment, suddenly, a black shadow came out of the grass, and saw that the head was four or five feet long, and it was estimated that if it was not a bear and a blind man, it was a jackal, a tiger and a leopard or something.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xiaofeng was lucky dantian and stabbed out with a sword, just when the sword blade was about to stab this unknown black shadow, Chen Xiaofeng finally saw the true face of the thing that pounced, hurriedly withdrew the peachwood sword, and shouted to Ma Dazhuang and the others behind him: "Don't shoot, everyone, it's not a beast, it's a fucking sunspot!! ”
Ma Dazhuang and the other militiamen were already on the strings, and when they heard Chen Xiaofeng's shout, they almost didn't frighten the shotgun and went off. Just look at the big mastiff Kuroko came out of the grass, with two dead hares in his mouth, shaking his head and tail like Chen Xiaofeng to show goodwill, although this sunspot brought game to these people who had no oil in their stomachs, but it really scared everyone.
Only Cuiyun walked over and took the hare in Kuroko's mouth, and used her hand for a while, making the big dog of Kuroko drill straight into her arms.
Afterwards, Cuiyun cleaned and skinned the two dead hares, one of which was directly thrown to Kuroko, which was a reward for bringing game for everyone, and the other was directly roasted on the fire! Cuiyun took out the remaining mushrooms and stuffed them into the hare's cavity, and after a while, the fragrance of the hare accompanied by the mellow fragrance of the mushrooms floated all over the world, making Chen Xiaofeng and the militiamen swallow saliva greedily.
If you want to say that this girl in the mountains is good, she doesn't care about running a family or going up the mountain and down the river, but it is not the quality that those pampered ladies in the city can have.
After everyone ate a delicious meal of mushroom roast rabbit meat, the big mastiff Kuroko was left to guard around, and the others made a grass nest with weeds and lay down directly on it.
I don't know how long I slept, Chen Xiaofeng suddenly heard the rapid cry of the big black mastiff, and hurriedly woke up Ma Dazhuang and several other militiamen, just saw the sunspot screaming at the shadows behind a few towering ancient trees not far away, Ma Dazhuang and Chen Xiaofeng said: "It is estimated that eighty percent of our roast rabbits are too fragrant, and we have attracted the bear blind man in this forest or something, but we have so many people, and we are not afraid of what the blind bear can make with a few shotguns." ”
Then a militiaman was left in place with a shotgun to protect Cuiyun, and the rest of the people slowly marched with Chen Xiaofeng holding weapons to the place where the black man roared, planning to shoot as soon as the black blind man showed his head, and directly beat the girl into a sieve.
However, among all of them, only Chen Xiaofeng noticed the anomaly of the sunspot. According to common sense, this kind of sturdy mastiff, although it may not be able to take advantage of it if it bites one-on-one with the black blind man, but it is not afraid of the bear in the deep mountains to this extent.
I saw that although the big mastiff Kuroko was screaming at the shadows of those ancient trees, his whole body was trembling all over his body, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and even the cry seemed so lacking in confidence, obviously with a little fear.
After Chen Xiaofeng noticed the abnormal behavior of the big mastiff, he stopped Ma Dazhuang and several other militiamen, and said, "Brother Ma, everyone stop. I see that things are strange, you see that the sunspot trembles with fear, if you see an ordinary beast or something, it is impossible to scare the big hounds who stand taller than people like this, you hold your guns here to cover me, brother go to the front and have a look! ”
When the militia captain Ma Dazhuang heard this, he hurriedly stopped the three militiamen. Because everyone in the village knows that Chen Xiaofeng, who is from this old real person's family, although he does not have the profound Taoism of the old real person, he has not learned the Taoist thaumaturgy with the old real person since he was a child.
Seeing that he acted so cautiously, he was afraid that the forest not far away might not be the stuff of some mountain beasts and jackals, and it was hard to say what kind of mountain spirit it was.
Don't look at the militia is not afraid of wild beasts, but when encountering these evil things, there is still a strong sense of fear in the bones. Therefore, Ma Dazhuang and a few militiamen squatted down on the spot, pressed the shotgun and gun in their hands with ammunition, and waited for Chen Xiaofeng to fire together as soon as there was any movement.
Chen Xiaofeng was alone with a dragon inlaid peach wood sword, and walked into the shadows of those towering ancient trees step by step, but after at least ten or twenty minutes, he didn't see any movement from Chen Xiaofeng inside.
Ma Dazhuang and a few other militiamen who were squatting outside had their legs numb, so they had to stand up and listen to the captain: "I said brothers, didn't Chen Xiaofeng of this old real family encounter something difficult to deal with?" Why didn't you come out of the deep tree for a long time, didn't you fold it inside? ”
As soon as everyone heard the captain say this, they all broke out in a cold sweat, and they all felt that Chen Xiaofeng was probably more than lucky, although these militiamen with big shoulders and thick waists were not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards and the like, but if they encountered those unclean things in the forest, how could they deal with it. After all, the boys of the old real family have gone and have no return, let's hurry up and escape with Cuiyun, really wait for that thing to appear, where are these people's lives.
Although this is the case, the militia captain Ma Dazhuang has been a hot-blooded man since he was born, how can he say that he left his brother and ran away by himself.
Although he was also afraid of the evil things in the forest, he still scolded his militiamen: "You bear things, a baby as young as Chen Xiaofeng is braver than us, dare to go into the yin forest at night single-handedly, why are you old men who eat three meals a day so bearish." If something happens to Little Brother Chen, how can we go back and explain to the old village chief and the old real person. ”
"Up and down the village, who met a demon or something, it wasn't the old man who gave you a flaw. Are we worthy of others just leaving? Originally, our ancestors demolished other people's Taoist temples and temples, it was enough to lack morality, the old real family is such a baby pimple, if we die in the mountains like this, it is estimated that we will have to owe others for the rest of our lives, all fucking cheer me up, and Lao Tzu went in to find Brother Chen. ”
Although the three militiamen were afraid, they suddenly felt guilty when they were scolded by the captain, so they had to hold their shotguns and walk with the captain into the woods. At this time, Cuiyun and the militiaman, who were waiting by the bonfire, saw that Chen Xiaofeng and his party had not come back for so long, so they took the big mastiff Heizi all the way to find it.
Ma Dazhuang didn't let Cuiyun follow them at first, because in feng shui, women belong to yin, and if they follow this group of big men, I am afraid that they will break the masculinity of these people, and it will be easier to provoke those evil things. But it's really not safe to leave a little girl there by herself in this black light. So Zuihou still let Cuiyun walk behind everyone with Kuroko, in case something happens, they can take care of each other.
Just when everyone was about to walk to the mouth of the yin forest, they suddenly heard a commotion in the yin forest, and they were immediately shocked by the cold sweat all over their bodies, and quickly stopped, holding a shotgun to observe the movement in the forest.
I saw that the commotion in the gloomy forest was getting louder and louder, and the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer.
Ma Dazhuang hurriedly told the militia behind him to get ready, and even the big mastiff Heizi began to bark into the forest. Ma Dazhuang's heart was about to jump out of his throat at this time, for fear that it was not Chen Xiaofeng who ran out of the forest, but some evil thing. The footsteps got closer and closer, and Ma Dazhuang suddenly roared: "Brothers, shoot, fuck it!! ”
As soon as the militiamen heard the captain's order, they raised their shotguns and opened fire. At this moment, I saw a figure running out of the dark forest, shouting as he ran: "Don't shoot, it's me, run the damn fast, I can't stand it!! ”
The primeval jungle in the dark night is really full of dangers, and when everyone heard Chen Xiaofeng's voice, they didn't know why this kid could run so quickly, thinking that this was something of a demon and evil thing?
